The escapement is designed to run at a given speed   and everything is tuned to produce that speed. Trying to drive it beyond its mechanical limits will lead to breakage of the escapement parts lilkey the pallet and rollerjewels as they are rhe most fragile part of the escapement.

Hi WW. Nice to have you back. Would the watch run faster if the bph was higher ?

Hi snigdha. What is your reasoning for wanting to do this ?

Unless anyone correct me, it must run faster.

Im starting to think a rather suspicious question. Snigdha please tell us more about yourself please 🤔

I have a suspicious mind and want to know more about the question

The basics are the design of the movement. All the gearing is calculated to give a set speed at the point of delivery (ie) the escapement and the balance. Lets say we double the strength of the mainsoring for example , all that would happen is that we would end up with  pile of scrap because the geairing and pivots cant stand the torque and it would only take one to break and the domino effect would ruin a good movement. Why. the gear train and pivots are again calculated to carry a given force. pushed too far = disaster.  Now letts imagine we hve a beefed up gear train, the weak point is then the escapement and either the pallet of balance packs in , again disasler. But if you redesign the gear train , alter the circumference and tooth count of the wheels tat would alter the speed but there must be a finite limit you can reach before the balance and pallet break down. so in order to double the speed you would need to redesign the watch from the bottom up . You need to source a movemnt with the required speed you want, that way you  know its designed to do the job and is comfortable running at the given speed.

The speed of a specific movement is integral to the design.

You can't take an 18,000 vph watch and cause it to run at 45,000 vph.

Tag apparently has one that runs at 1000Hz but at what point do you resort to atomic clocks?

If a dirty balance spring is binding the speed can be increased that much. The amplitude is low then.

Can you give anymore details or is it top secret  ?

Attach it to a rocket, they reach speeds of at least 7 miles per second. 

Rich what have you been reading ? Rockets and worm holes, are you studying space exploration and quantum physics mate 🥱

I have to say I'm still kind of suspicious 🤔

    • I’m not to sure mate! I’ve sent a picture! The crown is off a Tissot 1853 automatic limited edition T115427 A GP19 moto go watch!   
    • For years and I'm still using it I've been using something called SeaMonkey? It's a Mozilla product Basically outscore its Firefox plus an integrated email program. But not the same problems here a lot of times when things are upgraded they tend to be now aimed at very specific browsers like Firefox so I've had to switch to Firefox to respond to any of the messages on the group. So yes they do seem to be getting more browser specific and that may be a reason for others having complications especially if whatever you using hasn't been updated. So yes the world is getting more browser specific perhaps for security reasons. Even though I use a product that is updated on a regular basis is still has problems. So whatever you using for browser should be up to date and if is not recognized it's going to be a problem.
    • I did remember to ask at work and minor complication? Well I suppose technically two separate complications. First off glass mineral glass versus Seiko's Hardlex Glass. Don't know if other companies have their own class or not and a basic class for crystals is probably not the same as window glass it would be more transparent. It becomes obvious if you're looking at a sheet of flat crystal glass versus window glass it's definitely more transparent you can see it when you look at the edges of it window glass looks green. No idea how that changes physical characteristics other than optical. Then we also have thickness like the Seiko five's there crystals are really sick compared to other things and I'm guessing that makes things different. In the first link it talks about Sapphire versus mineral glass. One other thing is bothering me though when I'm reading this is where is the source material? What I mean by this is could we end up with multiple generations of salespeople quoting the same sales tactic or information and we don't actually know because you don't have a source reference? Let me quote something off the website it's brittle oh dear I was sad? Except it's not immune to damage it can crack where shatter under extreme force or impact. So what is the definition of extreme force or impact? Then is that more or less extreme then mineral glass?  Then regarding the price difference while back I had asked the owner where the Sapphire came from and basically wherever he can get the cheapest. So typically ordered from a variety of online supply watch parts in the US and  aliexpress China.. Then yes it does make a difference because we go through a lot of glass crystals and sapphire https://thehorologylab.com/sapphire-crystal-vs-mineral-glass-which-is-best-for-your-watch#google_vignette Then I guess one is glass not glass when it goes by another name? Hardlex Looks like it's purely a Seiko product but now I wonder if other watch companies have their own special glass? I didn't remember from past experience my favorite was people exposed to welding you can find little blobs a metal stuck to the watch case the crystal still intact but there's little burnt holes were bits of metal had actually burnt into the crystal but it was still there. Okay website below starts off with Sapphire sounds good but Apparently it can shatter easier then Hardlex. https://theslenderwrist.com/hardlex-crystal/ One other thing is what I'm reading to websites would be back to I want to see the test results? Often times weren't looking for a subject will find websites where I basically called them these are better than that by the way but sometimes I'll find websites that I will call book review websites were basically the review other websites other material and don't really introduce anything new to the subject. As I said these websites look quite nice which is why I'm giving you a link but where's the test results the definition of extreme how extreme to break a sapphire versus a glass or Hardlex?  
    • What browser are you using Rich? Fine for me using Chrome 
    • Wiggle it back and forth, small steps, keeping the pallet cock as level as possible and take your time (!). You could also use an extra tool as a safeguard at the jewelled end to avoid pressure on the pallet fork. You also mention lubrication... On the pallet fork pivots??
