Some say that only 4 watch companies in the world are able to make the spiral themselves. Others say that this is the most secret part of the watch, the production of which is not shown by any watch brand. Is it true that this tiny detail is so important in watches? In this video, we will tell the whole truth about this small and very important detail in the watch world! The very first mention of a balance spring dates back to the 17th century. Christian Huygens and Robert Hooke independently proposed using a spring and something like a modern balance to replace the pendulum. Huygens was able to implement the idea. Using Galileo's ideas, he created a time measurement tool for astronomical experiments. The device, however, was not transportable and Huygens was dissatisfied with the result of his work. In 1675, he received a patent for a watch with a spiral, and a year before that, the first watch with a spiral was created for him by the Parisian watchmaker Thuret. This event can be considered a starting point in the history of the emergence of wristwatches. The balance spiral gave watches the ability to be transported. And a huge headache for all watchmakers.
