ZEITWERK MINUTE REPEATER
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 displays the hours and minutes digitally (on a disc) rather than using the usual needle display.
It will instantly switch every hour and every minute to display the next time. With the conventional needle display, the hands would move at least once or twice every 60 seconds or 60 minutes, but
The Zeitwerk Minute Repeater 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 of the grand complication with a perpetual calendar using a disk display is still a modern flagship model of Patek Philippe.
There are instantaneous switching types, but to turn them into a series of products that display the time is a great achievement.
It is a privilege only for owners to be able to enjoy this excitement many times a day, which was previously only possible at the end of each month or year with a perpetual calendar.
There have been models that display the time digitally before.
Some of his representative works include the retrograde minute hand jumping hour watch by Gerald Genta and the Opus 3 from the limited edition Opus collection, a collaboration between Harry Winston and the master.
There were difficulties in maintaining accuracy, visibility, operability, and continuous 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.
The mainspring, which is the power source for a mechanical watch, has physical characteristics that mean that there is a big difference in torque strength between when it is fully wound and when it is about to unwind.
This used to be a factor in the instability of accuracy, but the entire movement from the beginning to the end of winding is kept constant with appropriate power.
As a result, we have achieved stable accuracy with constant torque in any situation from 1 minute to 60 minutes and from 1 o'clock to 24 o'clock.
He is a top-notch soccer player who runs at 100% top speed from the moment he starts dribbling, 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.
This may seem like a difference between humans and machines, but the work of determining the final goal from the perspective of play vision is important.
I feel that the journeys that the Lange production team and the soccer players have taken are very similar.
Next, in terms of visibility, the Arabic numerals are displayed in large, easy-to-read windows for people of all ages and genders.
The display method is not a sudden, innovative idea, but is based on the company's signature outsize date mechanism.
The traditional techniques that have been cultivated up until now have been firmly followed, and this is an evolved form that applies them.
Even if you have farsightedness or are in any state of drunkenness, it is almost impossible to misread the time, unlike the pointer display.
The idea was originally inspired by the five-minute clock at the Semper Opera House in Dresden, where the company is based, so it has a solid manufacturing philosophy from a historical perspective as well.
Lastly, regarding operability, everything is done simply with just the crown.
What's more, it is also possible to "set back" the time. You can experience the high level of usability and the solid technical capabilities that make this possible.
This is because the two number discs on the conventional outsize date are operated using buttons, so they can be operated even when the watch is worn.
I am very impressed with the thoughtful operability.
As for this model of minute repeater, it is fundamentally different from conventional models.
Firstly, it uses a decimal repeater, so instead of the traditional quarter chime every 15 minutes, it chimes every 10 minutes, resulting in more frequent chimes.
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, turning the crown on during start-up can cause malfunctions.
With this model, the crown cannot be operated when the repeater is activated.
In addition, when the repeater is started, it strikes the time for a maximum of about 20 seconds, but the digital hour and minute display is designed not to change during that time. After the strike, the disc changes,
It is equipped with an advanced, magical, and extraordinary mechanism that instantly switches back to normal one minute later.
Please try the pinnacle of mechanical technology that has been carefully designed and calculated.
