Kumar, the fusée and chain are just too big and cumbersome for a wrist watch. If I did a video on the fusée and chain, it would be to show how they work and suggest they keep them in big pocket watches. Take care, bill

Very good video Bill. Would it be fair to say of the three examples presented of "Maintaining Constant Force" that the double barrel in parallel would be the one we would see more often, and would be the most affordable. I'm not a big fan of opening any part of the dial, but I must say that the tourbillon has been growing on me lately. Best regards, Brian
I'd say that double barrels in parallel are the most affordable, Brian, but there seem to be very few watches that have them. Probably the most common of those in the video is actually the tourbillon, but unless one is willing to get a tourbillon movement from China and create the watch; most are very expensive ... for a function that most likely doesn't work with a wristwatch. Take care, Bill
If I ever have a son in the future, I might name him Remontoir and insist on the french pronunciation. If he complains in the future, I’ll just blame Uncle Bill’s video 😂
Grumbling, I know my French (German, etc..) is not good, but phonetic writing out helps me. Like all of my nephews and nieces-I'd just spoil your's too... Take care, Bill
Great explanations as always Bill. Hoping to see you do a video on fusée and chain mechanism for providing constant force. Cheers!

Thanks, Bill. Always the gentleman. Mind sharing the case, etc., for your DIY? Thank you

Or Tourbillon - Bill for short 😅
Brilliant! Sorry I didn’t think of that first!! 😂
