The Oiler

A hint of oil in the movement of the watch is like a reassuring, affectionate word in a conversation. A little tenderness allows you to walk side by side for a long time without suffering the outrages of the habit.

Turning tirelessly on their pivots, wheels and pinion live in osmosis, like two loving hands that cherish each other to tie and unceasingly untie the knots they handle.

Just like men and women need affection, brass and steel need the unctuous medication of oil "Moebius", the oil of watchmakers, so that their friction never leads to misunderstanding.

But too much and too little spoils all the roles of the gears. It is necessary to adjust the tiny drop of oil, as one adjusts a hundredth of a millimetre in mechanics.

The oiler with its agate pot prepares a pearl of oil at the end of a needle to deposit it with care and precision.

This is the last act on a watch movement before sealing the case, like the last stroke of a brush by an artist on a painting.
