READ Repairs

We take a deep dive into the mechanism of a two-day box or marine chronometer signed Glashutte GUB 8408. We look at the spring detent escapement, the compensation balance and what makes a chronometer a chronometer! We show all parts of disassembly and cleaning of the movement, gimbal and dial.
