is a strong watch, made in Platinum, White Gold, Yellow Gold or Rose Gold.
The case is 41, 9 mm big for 12,6mm heigh, which gives it some nice volumes.
The movement is a new one, the Cal L 043.1, a 3/4 plate, decorated and finnished " ala Lange " which means a lot, with a "force constante " escapement , beating at 18 000 vph.
What is equally important is the purpose of the watch: An original reading of the Hour, inspired from the Past ( Grande Date ).
Here, we have a Jumping Hour and Minutes, coupled to a conventionnal second counter ( zero reset, of course ).
The layout of the dial enhances the specificity of this watch, with a kind of bridge between the jumping hours and minutes.
A bridge between Tradition and Modernity?
Some will love, others will hate, but you can't stay undifferent in front of such a piece.
The large amount of energy required for the advancement of the three simultaneous disk numbers every hour shall be issued by a barrel
newly developed, which is equipped with a spring-motor extra heavy.
Its patented construction is literally upside down on
venerable principle refitting relaxation. Thus, the cushion
intensive friction between the barrel back in action when the
shows, but the wheel barrel always turns the pad
reduction of friction as the cylinder expands. This
device increases the torque available for
the power supply to the clock and the three discs with
numbers of hours and minutes.
Also patented, a constant force escapement, positioned between
wheel cylinder and the balance, acts as a pacemaker for
jumps forward by the hour and minute - a mechanism which, in its
compactness is unprecedented. The forces present when the
encrypted disks are accelerated and braked far exceed those
ordinarily encountered in a movement. To absorb a
finned regulator has been incorporated in the mechanism. While it runs,
its wings must move the air as the blades of a fan;
it is this resistance that dispels much of the energy and
ensures a smooth switching.
At the same time,
the constant force escapement contributes significantly to stabilizing the
walking motion. Throughout the period of autonomy for 36 hours, it
causes the balance with a force almost uniform, which
of the state of tension within the engine and let
disrupt the cycles of switching, energy consumers,
occur every minute. It is true that the association of
wheel balance weights for balancing eccentric and a spiral
manufactured home is a regulator of high-precision operation.
