Precision adjutsment
The precision adjustment is the device of a watch for particularly precise regulation. In the case of wristwatches, fine adjustment is performed by the manufacturer or later by the watchmaker, for example, with the help of adjustment screws on the balance, a swan-neck adjustment or a regulator that can be adjusted with an indirect lever. In the case of a fireplace watch, such as the Jaeger LeCoultre Atmos, the fine adjustment is carried out by the customer himself after setting up the watch by adjusting a spirit level integrated with the sight glass.
