The Manlin Watch in Focus: Picture 4

The ratchet wheel through a 1.5 loupe. I used a Schaublin lathe to add the snailing effect, by tilting the milling attachment up and to the right by 1 degree and using Knorrostol polishing paste as a lubricant. I then blued it in the kiln at 290 for just under a minute (nervy bluing, I can tell you - any mistake is irreversible).
