Because in the era before the invention of electric light, which is that people in the dark of night the only way to know the time. Since the whole point timekeeping on Ming watch records can be traced back to the late 15th century, the wearer may be required timekeeping and reported engraved pocket watch is the second question appeared in the 17th century. Past, the three asked the watch to sophisticated “mechanical memory” in the night for people to timekeeping; now, they have become the best witness superb tabulation process, to master the technology only a handful of watch factory.

Founded in 1875, Audemars Piguet watch factory is committed to three long watchs and large self-ming minute repeater device production technology and precision of the three after another repeater function, and other complex functions with, for example, in 1882 launch of the minute repeater perpetual calendar chronograph, 1885, again adding to the power reserve display. With the accumulation of experience, Audemars Piguet  made history in 1892, the first three questions only watch. The micro-mechanical technology, the culmination of a complex function of the minute repeater permanently implanted Audemars Piguet genes.

These features make 21,600 vibrations per hour times the balance wheel – gossamer fine-tuning to be accurate.

Movement of the two barrel can provide up to 7 days power reserve, and the third barrel is a timekeeping device specifically designed for the percussion, which is generally barrel than 2.5 times, watch the three questions has the most perfect timekeeping sound.

100% Audemars Piguet self-made movement

Cal.2897 self-winding movement is entirely designed and manufactured by Audemars Piguet, both Tourbillon and column-wheel chronograph two complex functions. On the movement of the structure, it is the Audemars Piguet watch the highest tribute to the traditional. Side of the curved bridge decks, S-shaped rod, minute timer span of the curve and the typical column-wheel and the dentate are no less than any work of art, people almost forget who turned out to be of practical use mechanical devices.

Seiko decorative components inherited the tradition of Swiss watchmaking: the perfect bright polished surface of the component technology to send a number of mirror-like brilliance. This requires continuous use of mirror-polishing rasp, rod polishing finishing, polishing machines and a variety of abrasives, grinding process after more than can be achieved after the unparalleled optical effect. For all of the concave corner and convex corner, and side is required to remove the surface between the sharp edges and corners, the angle of the ground into a smooth, this is the so-called chamfer grinding. All components of this movement are polished by hand carefully chamfer. Rhodium-plated bridge decks and board, chamfered and polished pearl dots, and surface treatment by sandblasting the fog, the outer edge of the line by hand rasp. After the completion of decorative components eleven, watchmakers will carry out preliminary assembly to determine the movement to run properly. Then open the movement, the scrubbed and then re-mix component eleven, and finally into the case. Therefore, made a movement at least 15 days working hours, then need to go through a number of tests to ensure flawless movement.

Combination of power and beauty of the wrap-around semi-circular rotor

All components of this movement are polished by hand carefully chamfer.

950 platinum plate surround-type ball bearings to ensure efficient automatic self-winding. Due to the automatic plate around the periphery of the movement, it can significantly reduce the weight of the movement, speed up the rate of automatic winding. Watchmaker in the circle inside the dug in case a groove, the semi-circular plate can be automatically carried out at 360 ° around the tank. Automatically set the size of the semi-circular design just right, it can optimize the efficiency of automatic winding. In addition, the movement in the periphery of the disc will not automatically increase the thickness of the movement, the movement can remain slim. In appearance, since there is no shelter movement back through the transparent sapphire crystal case back, magnificent column-wheel chronograph device panoramic view.

So that the audience totally selfless Tourbillon

Among the many watch brands can be made by a handful of Tourbillon. As the gravity of the master control, Audemars Piguet has so far created more than sixteen different models with a tourbillon movement, and in 1986’s first ultra-thin self-winding Tourbillon watch.

Tourbillon is a watchmaker challenge gravity of the weapon, because this device can offset the gravity of the balance spring and escapement of interference, so the watch can improve the accuracy of travel time. Tourbillon is the principle of the balance spring and escapement of light as a feather placed in the small movable frame, rotation per minute lap, which offset due to gravity caused by differences in travel time.

Dial at 6 o’clock position with openings, through the crystal mirror and enjoy the beautiful black titanium tourbillon bridge decks. Start Tourbillon is a difficult technique, only the experienced, skillful watchmaker to complete. Tourbillon frame weighs less than 0.45 grams, 0.017 grams of weight you can just keep it balanced. Escapement system weighs only 0.12 grams, so this movement the “heart” can be described as light as a feather. Watchmaker to consummate technology components will be assembled into 85 Tourbillon requires nearly three days, including two days to assemble Tourbillon framework. Time-consuming assembly of the entire movement you need more than 15 days.

Accurate and reliable, handy chronograph device

Cal.2897 unobstructed movement of people a taste of column-wheel chronograph mechanical beauty. Column-wheel chronograph function is to coordinate the start, stop and reset. In the past, such a mechanism will cause when it starts beating chronograph pointer; To correct this shortcoming, Audemars Piguet has developed a clever linkage device, the connecting rod on the addition of a Komagari, can significantly improve chronograph start shock performance. Chronograph device assembly and fine tuning carried out entirely by hand carefully, meticulously. Thus, the chronograph starts to become smooth precision, with the handy.
