Design Refinement 02

Several steps forward, and several steps backward.  Bridges feel way better than posts, and finally I’ve worked out a shape for the two main lever springs.

I’m looking for a different way to anchor the two pawls- a screw centered in a disk just feels low quality.  Maybe because it suggests the rotor on a cheap automatic watch?

The point of this project is to celebrate the perpetual calendar mechanism.  It’s got to be visible, so the dial shown above won’t do.  I’ll keep experimenting till I get it right… One thing I know is that I love those tear drop hands!
