Watch balance and hairspring tick millions per year
Experts say a gold watch lasts about 50 years. Its balance and hairspring vibrate 1800 times each hour, totaling over 157 million ticks yearly, while the escapement emits a matching number of ticks. An American match lit in Peru could incur a twenty dollar fine. Sweden’s match monopoly makes other brands costly.
