Ulysse Nardin Announces New Proprietary Silicon Anchor Escapement
Creating a proprietary escapement is perhaps the ultimate challenge for all watchmakers, regardless of whether we are speaking about a craftsman working alone or about an entire company producing thousands or hundreds of thousands of watches. The escapement is the arrangement of components responsible for transferring the energy coming from the mainspring barrel through the going train (the series of wheels linked to the mainspring barrel) onto the balance wheel.In other words, the escapement plays a major role in dividing each "beat" into equal doses, as every "tick" of the escapement releases only a small amount of energy from the mainspring. Ulysse Nardin?has? announced a new escapement design - a hugely impressive achievement that greatly relies on the company's extensive know-how in crafting silicon.[youtube youtubewatches-dealer/watch?v=Nu5Xe51Q_oE]Before we discuss this new design which the brand likes to refer to as a "flying anchor escapement," we should first obtain a better

Wierdest thing happened
The last time I wore my speedy was last Sunday around dinner time, 5/10. Wore the sub after that. Today, I'm back to wearing the speedy and the date and time totally threw me off. I've never gotten better than a day and a half of power reserve. The 3606 movement is rated at 44 hours. The stop time was around 11p, Wednesday, 5/13, which means I got over 3 days or at least 72 hours out of the reserve. Anyway, I'm not complaining but does that sound right? Maybe I really wound it up before I put it back in the case...

372: diminished power reserve
My 372, which used to run for 80 hours, now runs for just about two days. On top of that, it stops winding at about 45 turns (where it used to be a lot more). The watch is under warranty still so I will eventually send it back to Paneria (the second time this watch will have gone back in the year I've had it)...but any thoughts on what the problem might be?
