Gravity usually affect the accuracy of a mechanical watch. Normally of the delicate parts of a timepiece. Often is on the hairspring. There are also many parameters that will affect watch accuracy namely shock, magnet etc. Each have its own method to solve. Sometimes u will see on a watch stated anti-magnetism, anti-shock (G-Shock is famous for that) and tourbillion is a mechanical method to ease gravitational affect to a timepiece  ;D

The Nicholas G Hayek School of Watchmaking at malaysia. They teach the WOSTEP syllabus. You have to send an application and they will veto it. If you pass the process, you will be called up for an interview. After that, if they think you meet their standards, then they will intake you. Its a fully sponsored programme by Swatch Malaysia. There will be a bond period after you graduate.

I applied once, and passed the interview, but in the end, parents intervention meant that i had to give up this chance and dream.  :'(
