Good to see you here, Herr Clark, and thanks for posting your paper. I have referred to it many times.

Thank you for posting this. It has demystified a number of concepts for me, being a complete newcomer to the art.

Your closing remark will stick with me:

The timing machine is your task master. It does not close its eyes. It is an objective witness to your work.

Thanks.  Interesting that today I have been immersed in this very issue and already watch a video on dynamic poising.  This document is a good companion to the video.

I began the day thinking I would do static poising on this Waltham RR watch.  But I did not want to remove the hairspring and had heard of dynamic poising so that is what led my search.

Thanks for posting, I'll have a read.

For dynamic timing, my reference has been https://adjustingvintagewatches.com/category/dynamic-poising/

I don't bother with static poising anymore.
