Comprehensive analysis of commonly used terms of luxury watches


 Tourbillon
Whenever a slight concern for the people who watch are familiar words to the Tourbillon. In recent years, it's from the old Mr. Breguet invented the dictionary out, became the watchmaking sector is hot and trendy vocabulary. Although often hear some people talk about which table has a Tourbillon watch, it is still begs the question: "What is the tourbillon in the end?"

Mr. Breguet pocket watch age or years. When people put into the pocket watch in the vertical, or horizontally in your hand at the time, the balance wheel powered pocket watch, pocket watch because of the angle changes, affected by gravity, when the fast swing was too slow, so watch the result is bound to affect the accuracy of travel time. The Tourbillon is responsible for the balance wheel and storage, release force escapement pocket watch, placed in a cage like device, like them, and keep a steady speed of rotation, in order to eliminate the impact of gravity, so the table go more time.
Mr. Breguet would never think of two hundred years later, this had a post solely on practical devices, and today the brand has become a symbol of watchmaking skills competition device. Watchmakers kept immersed in the manufacture of tourbillon tourbillon and new forms of creative process. Thus, the accumulation of wealth of historical content in the manufacturing technology can continue guise, appearance, form and very Gaotou the little guy - Tourbillon, no doubt pushed to the watch brand's future business operations.
Eccentric Blancpain Tourbillon, Omega in the Tourbillon, Glashütte flying tourbillon, GREUBEL FORSEY Tourbillon 30 degrees of tilt, Breguet Double Tourbillon and the production is recognized as the most difficult, Jaeger-LeCoultre ball Tourbillon, are in a big competition in this important role on stage.
Power Storage
Also known as energy show, visually, is that there is usually a dial on the power reserve display that window, also called energy display window, the table at any time to remind the owner "of the winding up." Mechanical device powered watches, if not on the winding, it is possible to go are not allowed to even stop. The power stored in the first few centuries ago, sailing on the clock, when the ships at sea, to rely on precise navigation minutes travel time to measure longitude and ensure safety of navigation.
However, in the power reserve and tourbillon, as no doubt become technicians to demonstrate their superior technology watch one of the signs. Power reserve watch industry evaluate the merits of the two main criteria: a long power, which is maintained when the power reserve watch to go the longer the better. The second is the decreasing rate of energy more evenly as possible. If a watch out faster and faster decay of its energy, it would go not allowed. So, watch the energy reserves of the longer, the more uniform attenuation of the higher requirements of watchmaking technology, the table more difficult to do.
Jaeger-LeCoultre minute repeater watch (MASTER MINUTE REPEATER ANTONIE LECOULTURE), with 15-day power reserve (which was also known as 15 chain) is currently the longest power reserve watch.
Calendar
From the literal meaning of the Chinese view, calendar table do not seem to be a thousand years adjusted to reflect the true time of operation each day. General time-table, to a large monthly Satsuki and leap year, the manpower necessary adjustment. The calendar table in short, is the kind of tune you can not hand out their report year, month, day or leap year, intercalary month, and moon phase tables, and astrology. However, Seoul's most amazing is that this series of actions, are driving each other mechanical components to achieve. Therefore, before the movement in the design of the assembly, it is necessary for precise calculation of the calendar in order to visually shown on the dial. Calendar table, formerly known astronomical clock, solar terms in the agricultural society's important role in the birth of the reason astronomical clock. With the evolution of the calendar, astronomical clock also changed the show's segments and reflects more and more accurate. From the first show year, month, day, week, to hours, minutes, seconds and moon phase, fortune.
Chronograph
The first chronograph in 1802, the Royal race meeting in Paris. Watchmaker was created specifically for a game timer. Timer on the device a pointer to the ink sac, drops in the beginning and end of the game at left marks on the dial. This is the name of today's chronograph - CHRONOGRAPH the origins of Latin in it, "the time of writing," It is regrettable that this meaning can not be done using a timer, let the pointer quickly back to the twelve time position, to start the next time, so practicality is not high. In the watch to a process known as "zeroing." To the mid-nineteenth century, the timer on the improvement of the "start - stop - zero" three steps to complete, practical greatly increased. 1860 or so, sports events starting with the same players for the two timing requirements, then split seconds after needle timer came into being.
Today, no one would buy hundreds of thousands of chasing a chronograph, the Jockey Club for the occasional attendance at athletics or computing time. As mentioned earlier, chronograph function in contemporary life, and also watch a lot of features, like long lost purely practical value, and transformed into a superb symbol of the tabulation process.
Asked the table and alarm clock
Asked the table about the birth of two different ways: one is the seventeenth century, just ask the British produced the first table, the purpose is pleasant to the ear in the night, watch the hour. And in another way, when the aristocratic palace advocating alternative lifestyle products - the time to listen with our ears.
Asked the table, is the time when you want to know when to ask for your tables. You can ask the table pressed buttons, hammers tapping sound through the spring issue will be the number of different voices, to report the time. Asked two questions form the table and three asked the table. Two questions can be reported to the table, the moment, for example, is now two forty-five. The three questions asked in the table table is making the most difficult, can be reported, the moment, points, in addition to a few a few moment, but it also sort of answer you are now.
Asked the table today for manufacturing the highest realm, the three asked the table to play the sound sounds of spring, when the issue of temperament and timekeeping of the three asked the table. Such as the Crystal product family to play spring, sweet sounding voice, different from the general tone of the metal spring. Girard Perregaux Opera No. 2, the three asked the Kunlun church bells, marked the three asked the table made the highest level. As people say, quarterly fashion designers and fashion trends change is a common brand planning a conspiracy. Watch those dazzling virtuoso, but also watch the brand's business operations do, the clock on technology technician endless chase, and table fans obsession with the infinite desire, time and again brought to the stage of history.
