Maltese cross
Maltese cross mechanism is an idea. It limits the watch physically to using the part of the spring that is most linear in power delivery, presumably the beginning of the spring has too much torque and the end has too little, which affects the isochronism and hence timing. I think there might be various interpretations how it's done.
Not so sure about the other part.

That’s a very interesting point
I think you might be on the right track. Also, a bit of a beginner question here: when I googled ‘anchor escapement’ I got diagrams and information about an escapement similar to a verge escapement, commonly used in pendulum clocks. However, Walt Odets ha...
