Essentially what Breitling has done is shortened the hairspring, adding tension to it which in turn will increase the amplitude (more energy to swing the balance). This in turn reduces the frequency and slows the rate. We would usually just refer to it as a regulation (if we want to be slightly more accurate than Sharkman's description).

Like I said - "messed up."

I just took a course at work called "Executive Writing Skills" - basically, in the course you are taught to write in a simple fashion, trying not to use too many three syllable words (Flesch-Kincaid), and removing any words that don't add value to a sentence.

So that explains why, at board meetings, when I say, "The angle of the dangle is inversely proportional to the heat of the meat," I get nothing but blank stares.

Yes this watch has been running fast since the purchase. Is this mean my watch was defective from the start? I don't want to run into any issues down the line after warranty expires.
