The principles of a balance is based on the same principles as a Pendulum. Pendulum’s are great for timekeeping becuase of the principle of “Isocronism”. What that means is that the amount of time it takes for the pendulum to swing from one side to the other NEVER CHANGES, regardless of how far it actually swings. The time is entirely a function of the weight of the pendulum and how long the arm is. Actually, that’s not true; it’s also a function of gravity, but by and large, gravity doesn’t change from one day to the next (at least, not in a particular spot).
