What is the oscillation frequency of a mechanical watch

The oscillation frequency of the watch is the frequency of the mechanical oscillation system composed of the balance spring, and the oscillation frequency and stability are the key to the accuracy of the watch's timekeeping. Generally, when talking about the frequency, the watch usually refers to the number of swings, and the time unit is not seconds, but hours.

Frequency is the number of times an object completes full oscillation per unit of time, and the balance wheel in a watch oscillates once on the left and right to complete a full oscillation. Generally speaking, the higher the frequency, the more accurate the watch.

5 oscillations per second, i.e., the type of oscillation commonly known as slow oscillation. The large escapement and the large escapement wheel control the operation well, so it has excellent stability, and since it does not put a large load on the machine, it has excellent wear resistance and maintenance.

Through the oscillation of the balance spring, you can see that when the movement is fully wound, there is a small wheel that oscillates from side to side. The oscillation frequency says that's it.

The oscillation frequency of a mechanical watch is generally 21,600 per hour. This is the value of ordinary mechanical watches.

There are also 28600,The higher one is 36000There is also a high of 360,000 times. The higher the swing frequency, the more accurate it is.

The balance frequency is measured by the constantly oscillating balance wheel inside the movement.

Mechanical watches are also divided into slow swing and fast swing The frequency of slow swing is generally 18000 Basically the old watch Your 21600 is the fast swing table The frequency of the more common fast swing table is 21600 28800 36600. 21600 belongs to the lowest in the fast pendulum Now the more common is 28800 and like 36600 is now basically only on the Zenith high-end series of chronographs The higher the frequency, the higher the accuracy The more digits can be accurate to the decimal point when timing Now the highest swing frequency is a platinum watch from AP 43200 times per hour The price is 200W+

It should be 28,800 hours, or 8 times per second.

In the famous watch**, we usually hear the word about vibration frequency, and it is related to the ** in the famous watch**, so what is going on, today everyone is luxurious for everyone to talk about it briefly!

What we usually call vibration frequency, that is, vibration, that is, the number of vibration cycles in the object per second, a mechanical watch movement is usually composed of a power source, transmission and adjustment device, that is, what we call the mainspring, gear train and escapement, balance wheel and hairspring, driven by the mainspring power source to drive the transmission to the escape wheel, and then by the balance wheel oscillation precise output. For each swing, it is the disc that strikes the lever to unlock the escape wheel to lock the previous vibration again to gain power, and the mechanical watch usually reciprocates several times per second, which is what we call the frequency.

The vibration frequency is also closely related to the direction of the balance wheel, generally it is first turned to the balance spring to stop and then in the reverse direction, and the vibration is synthesized into a vibration twice times, and the vibration frequency is accumulated according to the number of times per hour, and the vibration per second can be calculated according to the vibration frequency of each movement.

The vibration frequency will affect its life in most famous watches, so it will be used as a reference value for measurement in famous watches**!

I've learned it, but I still don't understand what it means this time.
