Illinois watch restoration part 8: lift angle calculation & positional timing

Paul Silvia's excellent website: adjustingvintagewatches.com/
In this video I discuss static and dynamic poising and positional timing. I also show how to manually calculate the lift angle so your timing machine can accurately estimate the watch amplitude.
This is part 1 of the video, which is pretty discussion-heavy. Stay tuned for part 2, where I see how close I can get the Bunn Special to zero deviation across six positions.
One correction. I refer to the "escapement" angle. George Daniels calls this the "escaping" angle. Potato potato. Please feel free to jump in if I've misrepresented him or any other topic in any way.

Love the explanation on lift angle calculation. It will help heaps with movements with no data. Thank you.

Thanks very much :)

Another great video, I get more from hearing you explain lift angle than I do when I read about in it in my books. Thanks

Thanks for watching Mike! Glad it was useful.

Another brilliant video John. Cannot wait to see the actual adjustments. Also, thank you for the clarification on measuring amplitude.

Perfect timing! I just started watching the Illinois Bunn Special series on Tuesday and finished episode 7 last night. :) Thanks for a really fascinating series!
