This innovative ZEITWERK family was born in 2009.

Since then, derivative models have been produced,

The Ref. 147.025F Zeitwerk Minute Repeater introduced this time was released in 2015,

This is a monster machine equipped with the most difficult mechanism not only in this family but also in the company's models.

Unlike other multi-functional combination devices, you will be able to enjoy the essential appeal of the Zeitwerk.

First of all, the Zeitwerk uses a digital display (disc display) to show the hours and minutes, rather than the usual needle display. It instantly switches to show the next time every hour and minute. Conventional needle displays only move one or two hands at a minimum once every 60 seconds and 60 minutes, but

The Zeitwerk performs the function of instantly switching between up to three hour and minute discs every hour.

The unique Fly Governor mechanism provides proper power management to create this modern monster model.

The display method for the grand complication with perpetual calendar using a disc display is

Patek Philippe also has a modern flagship model with a quick-change function.

It is a great accomplishment to turn this into a series product with a time display.

This feeling that could only be enjoyed at the end of each month and each year with the perpetual calendar,

Being able to enjoy it multiple times a day is a privilege reserved only for owners.

There have been models that display the time digitally before.

His masterpieces include the retrograde minute hand type jumping hour created by master Gerald Genta.

We have the Opus 3, which is part of the limited production collection "Opus," a collaborative project with Harry Winston's master craftsman, but there were difficulties with the stability of precision, visibility, operability, and continued production.

This model achieves all of these four elements, making it a great achievement in the history of wristwatches.

In particular, the company's distinctive unique technologies, including "stable precision," "visibility," and "operability," are its true strengths.

First of all, the power control device with a remontoir mechanism provides a sense of stable precision.

Originally, the mainspring, which is the power source of a mechanical watch, has physical characteristics such as when it is fully wound and

There is a big difference in the strength of the torque when the winding is about to unravel.

This was an unstable factor in accuracy,

It maintains a constant, appropriate power throughout the entire movement, from the start to the end of winding.

This ensures constant torque in any situation, from 1 minute to 60 minutes, or from 1 o'clock to 24:XNUMX.

Stable accuracy has been achieved.

Started dribbling as a top soccer player

He runs at 100% top speed from the start, and his ball handling, shooting and passing accuracy are flawless.

There is a very small number of players who can play accurately, but that is the image.

On the one hand, you may think that this is the difference between humans and machines, but

The final goal from the perspective of play vision is

I feel that the journeys that the Lange production team and the soccer players have taken are very similar.

Next, visibility.

The large windows make it easy for people of all ages and genders to understand everyday Arabic numerals.

The display method was not just a sudden, innovative idea.

The watch is based on the company's representative outsize date model, so the traditional techniques that have been cultivated up until now

It is an evolutionary version that closely follows the original and puts it to good use.

Unlike the needle indication, even with farsightedness or when you are drunk.

It's almost impossible to misread the time.

The idea for the clock was originally inspired by the five-minute clock at the Semper Opera House in Dresden, where the company is based.

From a historical perspective, you can see that they have a solid manufacturing philosophy.

Finally, regarding operability,

It's all done simply with the crown.

Moreover, it is also possible to "set back" the time. You can feel the company's high level of usability and solid technical ability to make it happen. This is the same as the conventional outsize date, where the two number discs are set with a button.

Since it is operated, you can operate it even while wearing it.

I am very impressed with the thoughtful operability.

As for this model of minute repeater, it is fundamentally different from conventional models.

First, it uses a decimal repeater, which means that instead of the traditional quarter chimes every 15 minutes,

The chime will sound every 10 minutes, resulting in more frequent strikes.

Its roots lie in a mechanism invented by Abraham-Louis Breguet, but rather than the mainstream quarter chime, it is a "decimal" type that was adopted for its compatibility with digital display types.

Repeaters made by other companies are activated by a slide lever using a power system separate from the mainspring.

This model is struck by a hammer, but a mechanism has been introduced to temporarily disconnect the mainspring (twin barrels) from the gear train when it is started in order to supply power to the repeater.

The structure is carefully designed to ensure safety. Generally, due to the structural characteristics of repeaters, the crown must be turned on before starting the watch.

This may cause a malfunction, but with this model the crown cannot be operated when the repeater is activated.

In addition, when the repeater is started, it will strike the time for a maximum of approximately 20 seconds, but it is designed so that the digital hour and minute display does not change during that time.After the strike is finished, the disc changes and then one minute later it returns to the normal instantaneous switching mode.This is an advanced, magical, extraordinary mechanism.

The pinnacle of mechanical technology, meticulously designed and thoroughly calculated,

In terms of the fact that it is more difficult to fake the accuracy of the watch when in use than with grand complication models, this is a masterpiece that surpasses all previous digital display models.
