Oscillia is one of Konstantin Chaykin’s paintings from the series "Enchantresses of Horology," in which he applies an anthropomorphic approach to the shapes of watch movement components.
In this piece, Konstantin Chaykin incorporates a female folkloric figure into the form of a balance bridge and balance wheel. To ensure accurate timekeeping, the oscillations of the balance wheel and hairspring — referred to as oscillations — must be perfectly adjusted.
