This allows their geometry to be modified for optimal isochronism, the quality of oscillations occurring in equal periods of time. |

Swiss chronometer-maker, inventor of the spherical balance-spring, with which he did research on isochronism. |
|
In the old days, watches spent most of their time upright in a waistcoat pocket and were thus subject to gravity-related disturbances of their balance isochronism. |
|
The physicist and astronomer Galilee would have had observed a swinging chandelier in the Pise cathedral that gave him the beginnings of its theory on pendulums oscillations isochronism. |
|
Differential equations that characterized the springs at large displacements were integrated, while taking into account the deviation from the isochronism of the resonator at different balance amplitudes. |
|
The revolutionary Co-Axial Escapement, used in conjunction with the OMEGA free sprung-balance without index, maintains isochronism over longer periods. |
|
As a world first, the movement boasted the latest technological advances in the science of isochronism, with balance spring, escapement wheel and lever in silicium, a material known for its antimagnetic properties. |
