They sit under\u00adneath the clock, hard to reach and part\u00adly hid\u00adden by the locking mecha\u00adnism, and are essen\u00adti\u00adal\u00adly tigh\u00adten\u00aded only once: when the clock is first assem\u00adbled. At 0.6 mm, the\u00adse screws have a com\u00adpa\u00adra\u00adtively lar\u00adge dia\u00adme\u00adter, and they are firm\u00adly tigh\u00adten\u00aded. On top of that, an Atmos expe\u00adri\u00aden\u00adces hard\u00adly any vibra\u00adti\u00adon or shock during its life\u00adtime. That the\u00adse two screws come loo\u00adse is the\u00adr\u00ade\u00adfo\u00adre high\u00adly unusual.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"aa-ws-teil\">\n<p class=\"aa-ws-kicker\">02<\/p>\n<h3>One simp\u00adle step, but a lot of work beforehand<\/h3>\n<p>In the end, only two screws need to be tigh\u00adten\u00aded again. But just to reach them, the clock has to be lar\u00adge\u00adly dis\u00admant\u00adled: the tor\u00adsi\u00adon pen\u00addulum is remo\u00adved and the locking mecha\u00adnism ope\u00adned. Only then are the two screws expo\u00adsed underneath.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"aa-ws-teil\">\n<p class=\"aa-ws-kicker\">03<\/p>\n<h3>And that is when the real work begins<\/h3>\n<p>Once the screws are tigh\u00adten\u00aded, ever\u00ady\u00adthing is reas\u00adsem\u00adbled. Becau\u00adse the tor\u00adsi\u00adon pen\u00addulum was remo\u00adved com\u00adple\u00adte\u00adly, it never returns to exact\u00adly its ori\u00adgi\u00adnal length when it is refit\u00adted.
