Fashion Watch News Report: Girard Perregaux dual axis tourbillon will form a rare combination of mechanical structure and innovative ideas, let fans relive a watchmaking technology and aesthetic innovation with a sense of history.
Dual-axis tourbillon origins can be traced to more than a century ago, the pursuit of precision watchmaking industry in the period of history when the testers: the early 19th century, with the tourbillon technology available, the accuracy of time measurement into a new era. Tourbillon is the principle of balance wheel escapement and an auto parts plant in rotating frame, which offset the movement in a vertical position, gravity escapement and balance wheel of the structure caused the error. Girard Perregaux form one of the founders of Constant Girard is not only an outstanding watchmaker, the technology is particularly Tourbillon experience. In 1867, he produced a tourbillon watch the Paris World's Fair exhibition, and received honorable mention; Later, he further strengthened the technical and aesthetic considerations, create a Three Golden Bridge Tourbillon, and access to fair gold medal. Girard Perregaux watch process as an outstanding, fair watch factory was later refused to continue the competition.
Girard Perregaux watch inheritance history of excellent technology, introduced this year, more high-profile dual axis tourbillon watch; Tourbillon formed by two concentric framework, so that the balance wheel and escapement to multi-angle rotation. Device placed inside the box and escapement wheel, a trip every 45 seconds, 1 minute 15 seconds frame to turn around, and successfully turning around the whole it would take 3 minutes and 45 seconds. Such as air and beautiful ballet dancing, changing the angle of rotation, to further enhance the balance wheel escapement and accuracy. Tourbillon weighs only 0.8 grams, from 110 parts composition, exquisite workmanship, magnificent mirrors and a transparent sheet from the watch back to make is exhaustive. Tourbillon with gold, steel and titanium metal manufacturing, can improve the balance of the whole structure and performance. Movement of the two winding drum assembly, each equipped with two sets of winding, the total energy reserve of 72 hours, and the other energy output remained swatch on average.
Dual-axis tourbillon exquisite workmanship and traditional Girard Perregaux watch the same strain, in particular bypass arrangement there have been many works of Constant Girard and three Golden Bridge wind tourbillon; its hollow bypass line shape, the inspiration from a 1860 launch shall watch, this watch was issued by the Neuchâtel Observatory first prize. Dual Axis Tourbillon movement style of innovation, beyond the purely mechanical technology and function level; exquisite detail the modification, but also show respect to the founder: for example, oval cake drum winding pattern to reproduce the Constant Girard's pocket watch workmanship ; plywood and manpower by the satin polished chamfer, so that plywood surface gloss and perfect, hand-stellar; movement, meticulous workmanship, the assembly in the luxury of 45 mm rose gold case in the naturally complement each other.
Dual-axis tourbillon aesthetic and technical value of the heights, as Girard Perregaux breathe new life into the historical tradition of the watch, highlight the style of the top mechanical watches, limited edition 33.
