What is a tuning fork watch?
1 Answer
A tuning fork watch uses a tuning fork instead of a balance wheel and is driven by a solenoid-powered one-transistor oscillator circuit and no mechanical contacts. An attached pawl and index wheel turn the gear train. A collection of vintage tuning fork watches is available on 1stDibs.
