| 2 days ago | comment | added | periblepsis | Autistic, your question is excellent. I strongly suspect that watch-makers have brought this art to a serious level of science, long ago. And if they wanted to share their secrets, I'm sure they could tell you a great deal. (I had a similar question about 30 years back, spoke with someone who worked in the watch-making industry, and was told pretty much what I just wrote here.) You could find out yourself by setting up a testing room that accelerates aging through higher temperature operation or by over-driving the power applied to the crystals. | |

It's not spelled with an 'h'; improved title
