[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 513449, member: 10543"] Amazing to think that a mechanical clockworks can be made to maintain accuracy while handling crushing g forces and infinite positions in an aircraft. Contrast that with my 1930s Hamilton pocket watch which is adjusted to only five positions (pendant up, pendant to left, pendant to right, face up and face down). My watch may also be adjusted for isochronism, which I think refers to a steady run rate regardless of winding spring tension. Clocks and watches are so interesting. Like we all need another hobby, right? :) [/QUOTE]
