The event will be in Las Vegas during the JCK Jewelry and Watch Show. This is where new jewelry and watch lines are displayed for retail jewelers. AWCI will be there with a booth in a prime location to inform visitors of our programs and goals that could be of benefit to them. Many jewelers may not know about us, so we want them to meet us and become aware of our efforts to be of assistance to them. They will see a modem watch service shop that can easily be set up in their own stores. After visiting with our BOARD OF DIRECTORS group, they will know the following: 1. Where to find experienced and certified employees. OFFICERS Dennis J. Warner, CW21: President 2 . The suggested square footage needed to operate a shop successfully. dwarner@ awci.com 3.

Escapement mechanism is a device designed to maintain a constant average speed of the escape wheel, by allowing it to rotate to the desired angle at certain impulse of time. While doing that it simultaneously support the oscillations of the pendulum or balance spring, by compensating for friction losses and air resistance. 7 century long history of escapement mechanisms, from 13th century verge mechanism up to modern-day escapements that can be found in luxury watches, will be shortly presented. Through lives of famous clockmakers and their achievements in field of making escapement mechanism will be given a new insight in science of time keeping - horology.

  • Dynamics of Periodic Impulsive Collision in Escapement Mechanism
    Shock and Vibration 20 (2013) 1001–1010 1001 DOI 10.3233/SAV-130800 IOS Press Dynamics of periodic impulsive collision in escapement mechanism Jian Maoa,∗,YuFub and Peichao Lia aShanghai University of Engineering Science, Shanghai, China bTianjin Seagull Watch Co. Ltd, Tianjin, China Received 10 May 2012 Revised 25 January 2013 Accepted 13 April 2013 Abstract. Among various non-smooth dynamic systems, the periodically forced oscillation system with impact is perhaps the most common in engineering applications. The dynamical study becomes complicated due to the impact. This paper presents a systematic study on the periodically forced oscillation system with impact. A simplified model of the escapement mechanism is introduced. Impulsive differential equation and Poincare map are applied to describe the model and study the stability of the system. Numerical examples are given and the results show that the model is highly accurate in describing/predicting their dynamics. Keywords: Periodic collision, dynamics, escapement mechanism 1. Introduction Dynamics is an important branch of mechanical engineering. In the last century, the linear dynamics was well studied and understood. However, nonlinear dynamics is far from being fully understood because of its complexity and diversity [1]. Non-smooth dynamical system is a special category of nonlinear system. In practice, it is not difficult to find non-smooth dynamical systems, such as a hammer hitting a nail, a signal triggering an electrical circuit, and a disaster affecting the stock market. It is known that a typical smooth dynamical system can be described by an autonomous set of Ordinary Differen- tial Equations (ODEs) [2–6]. Newton method and Lagrange’s equation are two basic tools to model such dynamical systems.
