Oscillator Theory

For the last few weeks, the students in Workshop 1 have been going through the balance & hairspring module of the course. It involves a lot of practice in manipulating hairsprings, which can be painstakingly frustrating but at the same time extremely fascinating, and satisfying once you can do it. In the picture below, Henrik is giving the students a theory lesson of isochronism, using this brilliant oscillating model for demonstration which helps a lot in understanding the theory.
