Friction in movement
Hello everyone
i have question about friction among components in movement. For example , in zeitwerk ,the dial-rings are same as date-ring in other watches, such as lange 1. however, the most date-ring is just put on the plate, which means there is friction between them , in zeitwerk case, since dial-rings has to rotate thousand times per day, i think the plate will be damaged .
How lange deal with this problem?
Thanks a lot

A very interesting question in a first post! The answer is ... yes
Yes, you are absolutely right to be concerned about friction. As any watch will suffer from friction in terms of wear and tear, this Lange, and a few more Langes with the same "principle", are also worrying me! Now, the example of the Zeitwerk that you me...
Interesting analysis Moritz.
Obviously, the Zeitwerk system is much more demdanding than the classic date display. But I trust Lange about the reliability of the system. You have to consider that even if there are methods to simulate a long movement work, nothing can replace the real...
Simulation and reality: how do you compress the vaporisation of oil?
Thank you for your respond as it made me wonder of another aspect, next to wear and friction: the vaporisation of lubricant. This ZW has been tested with a five times faster running prototype (Homogenisierungs-Uhr) so that fading and abrasion and also rel...
if reality is not a problem, how about the finishing of components.
After the test , will disc scratch the plate badly or nothing ? thanks
Danke for this analysis!
In a manner that i love! Danke Count, and i trust all is fine with you! Tschuss Stephen
