Swan neck regulators …
Hi All, It has been said that the swan neck regulator is one of the more picturesque and functional designs in horology. It is used by a number of manufacturers and perhaps reaches its zenith in the hand engraved versions of Lange and Glashütte Original, ...
Here you are, Andrew
JLC 70eme: VC Minute Repeater Skeleton ( impossible to beat this one, IMO ): Except maybe by this old thing ( JLC Grande Complication pocket watch from 1928 ): Lange, you said? Well, Heeeerm, maybe... Best, Nicolas...
Here's some, but nothing as good as the GO or Lange's
the post should have been 'Regulators in general' Andrew because once you've seen one swan neck you've seen them all unless they are highly engraved. i didnt bother with my Omega 561 as its remarkably identical to this 552. i quite like the Agassiz in the...
Nico, please dont do that...
Nico, please dont do that to me. the GO Panoinverse and the Breguet la tradition are 2 very high on my hopeful wish list. both similar in design but opposite in character. best me
This is a watch...
...that the more I see of it, the more I enjoy it. It's hard to describe what makes it great. Certainly the novelty of its dial is one element, but I am also drawn to the various colors at play on the silver background. Really, really enjoyable. Thanks fo...
Same feeling here, Daos
I feel I will end with a PanoInverse, one of these days. Once again, I saw one in the flesh, recently, and I miust say that the feeling is very positive. Original, but Horological, too. Horologinal would be an excellent new concept, don't you think? Best,...
Waiting for this one...
The Glashutte PanoMatic Lunar was what really got me started with double swan neck regulators. This is my kind of thread!
Thanks for revisiting this topic.
That second Hamilton movement has a rather interesting swan neck architecture. Andrew
GO for me
As much as the regulator for the beat is not necessary (or even convenient) for making the adjustment, it does look good.... Cheers, Al...
That's a gorgeous dress chrono . . .
. . . with an impeccable pedigree to boot . . . very nice! Cordially, Art
Late to the party...My L&H Johann

Here's the swan neck on my Wempe Chronometerwerke, movement by Nomos: and the wrist shot...
A little late maybe.
Here´s the beautifully sculpted Swan-neck of the Omega 24-ligne Rattrapante, Chronometer-grade caliber 206....
May I play?
... and show my Vacheron & Constantin Cal. 454/5B? The watch came with the Swan's neck missing. V & C did a marvellous job in supplying the correct spare part. Here it is in the blister: It certainly gives and entirely new touch to the watch: Chee...
