Interesting project. Would a CSAC actually fit?

Last I heard these are ridiculously expen$ive (£1000+) assuming you can get one.
They are also restricted in some countries it seems.

Hi

There?s not a lot of ?room? inside the typical Hamilton chronometer. Simply getting
an electronic drive gizmo inside (and wires out) would be a major task. Having it work
properly with the drive coming and going ?.wow ?. The detent setup is a very fiddly
bit in these devices.

My *guess* is that a CSAC on a couple of batteries will run longer than the chronometer
(before it needs to be wound). If auto winding is part of the mix, that gets even more into the
? wow ? region.

Bob
