Fork with proper angles and Roller jewel

Just got my hands on "The Practical Escapement" by George Daniels and it's like opening a treasure chest of wisdom! 📚 Excited to tweak those angles for 36,000 vph. Also, testing some Bergeon jewels soon. Pics & plans here! https://thebitcoinwatchmaker.com/post/view/fork-with-proper-angles-and-roller-jewel/

The blog post dives into watchmaking tweaks, focusing on using specific Bergeon jewels to refine a watch's fork and balance roller for optimal performance. Inspired by George Daniels' "The Practical Escapement," you're exploring new angles to achieve 36,000 vibrations per hour. If you're into precision timekeeping, this experiment might just pique your interest! 🕰️

Fork and Balance Roller Jewel.

The animation on the previous post helped a lot! I added to the script building the fork based on the bergeon jewels I'm gonna test, it will be easy to change later

Also after receiving the book "The practical Escapement" by George Daniels, I discovered an update to the angles on generating the wheel and pallet to be able to reach 36000 vph. gonna try that

These are the jewels Im thinking of:
