All components of your Mechanica M2
were carefully examined in our factory.
Despite this, if a component should not fulfill its function and one
or more of the testing criteria listed above cannot be guaranteed,
please give us a call. This makes it possible for us to help you in a
quick and uncomplicated way.

Assembling the Escapement
As soon as you have assembled and tested the Gear train, you can
add the watch’s regulating organ: the pre-assembled escapement
*
with its 11 rubis and Swiss lever escapement
*
.
Every escapement for the Mechanica M2 has been carefully
examined and adjusted in our factory before delivery. In order to
reach satisfying rate results right from the start, please ensure
that the balance spring stud carriers
*
, buckle and index
*
are not
accidentally moved before being put into operation.
To fit the escapement you will need:
◊
Escapement with Swiss lever escapement
Compartment (21)
◊
2 x cylinder-head screws M2 x 4
Compartment (21)
Escapement* with Screw balance**
To visually upgrade your Mechanica M2—particularly if you have
also ordered the dial version available with the cutaway—a lavishly
finished
*
, rhodium-plated, diamond-milled escapement with Screw
balance
*
is also available. Its
blued
*
balance spring
*
and
screws beautifully contrast with
the rhodium-plated parts of the
escapement and are especially
decorative in any watch or
clock. The escapement with
Screw balance replaces the
serially delivered escapement
when assembling the move-
ment.
Note:
The escapement
has 11 rubis.
The escapement
bearings are
pre-oiled.
Note:
The function of
the escapement
*
and its adjustment
by index
*
are examined
more closely in the
section called
»The Escapement«
in the second chapter
from page 64.
