even chopard was developing somethin new. hope is not just a protype... Genequand is the name...did they make it? This would be really innovative

I also hope it won't be just a prototype but it is at least maybe another interesting developement in progress? Let's see tomorrow. Cheers, Mark

but it will be more interesting to know its chronometric charactoristics. Is the timing better than a standard Swiss anchor escapement with a normal balance? Parmigiani visiters at the SIHH, please take a look and let us know. Don

There have been several new and somtimes very complicated regulator systems unveiled during the last years and the question we can ask is "what does it bring in terms of chronometrie"? I think that when dealing with mechanical watches, it is more about th... 

In general I am inclined to agree with you Mark, but in the case of the oscillator and escapement of a watch I disagree. A watch that is very pretty, but needs to be set daily will certainly not be a big hit. We seem to have hit a wall when it comes to th... 

In the past, I haven't seen prooves of the improvement and it was mainly used for communication purposes. On the other hand, I like seeing these new developments and I'm also hoping to see a possible breakthrough in the future from this kind of research. ...
