Composed of hundreds of pieces of parts from the ball shape Tourbillon is a treasure of mechanical devices, the complexity of its structure, the rapid rotation and the beauty of running in three dimensions, is indeed difficult to resist the charm exudes. However, Jaeger-LeCoultre watch this wonderful plant designers unsurpassed performance was not satisfied with this they add color, enhance its visual allure. In the designer's suggestion, the watch factory technology sector leading the end of the curve for this watch with a bold hot cylindrical winding coating to make it with a needle and hours of power reserve with the same blue-steel color pointer. In addition, the balance wheel support also impose fine hollow sculpture, is both elegant and delicate and can reduce weight, consistent with both performance and appearance Jaeger consistent principles.
Second-generation ball shape Tourbillon key elements: the end of the cylindrical winding curve
Second-generation ball shape Tourbillon Gyrotourbillon 2 has a key feature, namely the end of a cylindrical winding curves. John Arnold British watchmakers invented this spring, and patented in 1782. This ingenious invention can guarantee swatch and spring run when full, etc., but because of the production process is extremely complex and difficult needs of micro-mechanical technology, so the last time only for the production of nautical instruments and a large pocket watch, would like for the production of watch little hope. But the experts agreed and the ability to regulate this spring is better than many conventional flat spring, abandoned a pity.
For Jaeger-LeCoultre watch factory engineers and watchmakers, the more difficult to overcome the obstacles and dangerous reefs, the more excited they are to fight. Watchmaker to take this opportunity, presenting a brand new ball shape Tourbillon concept, and set the watch in the center of the cylindrical clockwork. This innovative invention of the ball shape Tourbillon even more powerful, precision in the watch area set a landmark milestone, no matter how the wrist, shake, watch the operation to achieve unprecedented accuracy.
Light as a feather, representing the ball shape Tourbillon
Ball shape Tourbillon watch is a major initiative in the history of machinery, it is as important as the watch Breguet invented tradition in the eighteenth century tourbillon. At that time most of the popular pocket watch in the vest pockets are vertical closed, the traditional tourbillon can effectively offset the effects of gravity, greatly enhance the watch's accuracy. But for most of the time in the horizontal position of the watch, the traditional role of the tourbillon is not significant. Teachers have to watch to watch a variety of different positions of adjustment in order to obtain satisfactory results.
Two 90-degree angle around the axis of rotation of the ball shape Tourbillon design, is the only way to watch at any position can offset the mechanism of interference of gravity.
Jaeger-LeCoultre particular the use of light as a feather in the high-tech materials, to make this section at the same time manipulating the framework of the two Tourbillon movement. 1 minute per lap outside layer, the inner 18.75 seconds per lap, high-speed rotation of the tourbillon framework that North Korea no matter what the direction of balance, vibration amplitude can remain unchanged. Therefore, the watch no matter what position is able to maintain accurate and correct, this is a first time in the history of watch creation. To achieve this goal, the plot does not use a narrow wheel, reducing vibration frequency methods such as save trouble, but follow the principles of meticulous serious innovation.Impeccable precision double ball shape Tourbillon K gold watch with a large balance wheel, to 12.5 mg × cm2 of inertia, ignoring any shocks, the impact of the collision, always maintain the stability of 28,800 vibrations per hour. Moreover, the balance wheel on the gold weight also adds K to avoid a collision damage to the initial adjustment, universal design is breathtaking.
Reverso series of apex
In the function display, the ball shape Tourbillon watch both sides to refinement in the sapphire blue steel hands, the dial displays the time eccentric. To dial 24 to display the fine engraved on the left wheel to present, the outer frame of the tourbillon is to replace the second hand blue scale. Dial back to the one at the pointer movement in a power reserve displayed on the plywood sector.
Noting that the above details, the connoisseur who appear to be proud of his eagle-eyed. But the product family design is more often unexpected new element, so the overall effect of greatly changed.In order to accommodate the 174 product family type manual winding movement, the watch factory engineers must Reverso series in the original case basis, to design a new flip-style case may be. Since the operation of the ball shape Tourbillon need more space, so we must increase the thickness case.Watch plant technology and design departments try to use a variety of complex structure of glass and sapphire crystal ball to make the sample, in a number of tests, finally made to hold the ball shape Tourbillon the case, sapphire crystal on the bottom of the cover looks also no different with the traditional watch. Even increase with the new case is similar to three sides of the watch lock, to avoid inadvertently open case, the spirit in every possible way to push to the extreme. Case water resistant to 30 meters, with one piece of leather strap, extra comfort when wearing. Excellent ball shape Tourbillon watch with double platinum case, the limited edition of 75.
Barrel equipped with sapphire crystal glass cover down to reduce the friction caused by the winding power loss. Therefore, the barrel cumulative total for the movement to use force, and can reach up to 50 hours of power reserve. Barrel of a loaded and intricate mechanical devices to prevent the mainspring too tight or too loose risk. Watch on a chain for the time, the device will be tight in the spring before the block to the chain; in power when sufficient movement of the device would stop working, so as not to affect the operation of precision watch.
Performance of product family models of movement by the 371 174 component parts and completely hand-decorated. Senior watch connoisseurs love will not ignore this movement in every possible way the decorative details, such as hand-chamfering grinding, the middle arch splint careful handling. Copper-nickel alloy material and the plywood board with elongated chamfer the edges and subjected to hand-polished. Rectangular movement with a variety of beautiful decorative surface, including Clous de Paris decoration, Geneva, corrugated, polished pearl dots, matte polish, etc., so that a strong movement is particularly good form design. Colorful decoration and steel material to form the mechanical structure and the gold-plated gear beautiful contrast. Finally, the board also has a mysterious screws, the screws on the current and future use of most of the watches will be a division in terms of mystery, and only willing to spend a lot of time to study the micro-mechanical experts, to break this the secret of an extraordinary movement of money, to understand its principle of operation.
Although the ball shape Tourbillon watch with a long list of features double-sided, watch fans gathered in the center of attention or 174-based product family movement, especially when rotating the ball shape Tourbillon sublime landscape, it is as silly as drunk. Ball shape Tourbillon watch is a double apex Reverso series, only have 175 years long history, deep traditions and spirit of innovation technology watches Jaeger-LeCoultre watch factory, to be able to complete this masterpiece.Completely free from interference of gravity, always maintain the excellent precision watch, watch factory master clocks once again proved their creativity. Reverso watch the ever-changing, constantly rewriting the history of art of the High Watch.
