Breguet - for saving energy

for saving energy

Hi All

just want to share my limited knowledge. I understand the speed at which the date changes has something to do with energy saving. For those watches with quick change, they need a lot of enery for the quick flick. The slower the change, the less energy it uses. Imagine the quick change is like the dial controlled by a stiff spring, you need enough energy to push to over the top of the spring when the date changes and it happens very quickly.

Many perpetual or complicated watches with many dials, they all move slowly, the main purpose is to save enery. All these window changesl chew up on the power reserve, the type XX has a chronometer which chews up power as well, so why not save some power from the date change?

Just my 2 cents worth.

no need to worry Thom I have a type XX as well and it shows the same behaviour in changing the date. Your watch is fine as long as all functions are running properly. The reason for the slow change of date might be due to the fact that the movement base w...

Agreed... Same here with mine.

Thanks for the input on the Type XX. That was the answer I was hoping for. And now that several folks have confirmed - I can relax about it! Have a great weekend.
