The Favre-Leuba brand is a very interesting one-the Twin Power model has dual barrels in parallel, and the company is now owned by an Indian watch retailer, Ethos Ltd. In 2011 Indian conglomerate Tata bought it but recently sold it to Ethos. Some of the manufacturing may still be done in Switzerland, but I'm not certain, Unseen. Take care, Bill
Congratulations, Mr. Sanders, on reaching the 500-video milestone! Your work stands out as some of the best on UA-cam, and it’s clear you've become one of the top watch influencers on the platform. Here’s to many more videos and continued success!
Hey Bill, congrats on 500! Barrels in parallel isn’t constant force - in the sense of flattening the torque curve - but I have read the increased torque improves chronometry (I’m not sure how) and the opposing barrels reduce wear on the pinion they drive in tandem. All the best, Ed P.s. great picks, amazing work finding similar budget models!
@ aahh, ok 👍. I get it now, I’d just not heard reference to constant force without specifically meaning the torque from the barrel at either the start or end.
Another really fun video. I have a M.A.D.1 Lucky Clover (for those who tried the raffle three times and failed) and really enjoy it, it‘s such a fun watch.
*Always a pleasure watching & listening to you, and very informative!*
Thank you Bill and congrats for the 500th, you are a real G 😎

Ed, it's constant force in doubling the force used to move the gears-less slippage. Take care, Bill
