MeToo with yr stab.
Btw, constant force would defy the laws/understanding of current physic if it purely mechanical parts. Many manufacturers toy with constant force notion, imo it can only be achieve if you have sensor inside to detect the input & output. Dun burn me as I am just a layman on watch mechanism/movement.😅
Very nice watches BTW that I believe are on many ppl grail watch list.
In my Grail Watches category
These two of my beloved watches share three distinct similarities that really excite me. Do you have a guess as to which they could be ...
:-) I'd say small seconds, power reserve indicator and white metal
I can throw in a black leather strap
Knowing you, I can see the joyful smile on your face
Such icons, such good choices. Thank you for sharing, here and in real life 🙏🏻 Claus
Good question!
Nonstandard time displays, asymmetric dials, subseconds, remontoir, power reserve, PT case, manual wind, uncommon/unrecognized brand among the public, and BEAUTY. That's everything I can think of!.
Constant Force.
But I can’t think of others as I assume you are referring to technical aspects. This sparks a question of mine, and I think you are the right person to answer it. Is “constant force” as we understand it as a means to more constant timekeeping just a gimmi...
Hi Jay 😊
without Remontoir de égalité/Constants Force, Zeitwerk would not be able to function at all. At Zeitwerk, it ensures the instantaneous change of the time discs and prevents the destruction of the caliber that the otherwise violent force of the huge strong...
Thanks Robert.
I should have been more descriptive, I think I understand the use in these two watches. For the ZW, and similarly for my Vagabondage, it’s crucial to the display of time / discs. I guess my question is more this general idea or goal to achieve a constant ...
Hi Jay 😊
There are many ways to achieve the correct display of time. Not least the skills of the watchmaker. This is the explanation for the fact that at the time when observatory chronometer competitions were held, it was both the watch and the Master watchmaker ...
Great photo!
Platinum Manual Constant force escapement Eccentric seconds dial Dial color I remember the first time I saw ZEITWERK at the armory in nyc during a watch show. It’s very different than any watch I’ve ever seen. However, I prefer the FPJ hands down. Aesthet...
Similarities that really excite me
Similarities that really excite me. For both, the year the watch was launched the watch was awarded one of the watch world's finest awards, the "Aiguille d'Or" at The Grand Prix in the annual Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG). Both watches have a u...
