Do you need to use a microscope to learn a watch? GREUBEL FORSEY'S MICRO LIGHTNING NEEDLE
And also worn by ordinary people, this specific watch should also be put on by Ant-Man or the occupants of Lilliput. The upper half the dial is an eccentric hour or so and minute dial. Besides exposing the escapement tire system such as the balance controls at 9 o'clock, there's also a very special device: some sort of micro lightning needle " small" second dial verticle with respect to the surface. The key level is that the brand knows All people have bad eyesight, so they attentively attached a 23x magnifier to the top of the crown from 9 o’clock.
The name of the watch is Foudroyante EWT (Experimental Watch Technology). " Foudroyante" refers to the turbo second hand. Usually the second palm moves one distance for every second and circles the particular dial once per minute. The particular lightning second hand divides one particular second into equal elements. And it runs in leaping seconds. Some people also phone it femtosecond. Common kinds include 1/5 second, 1/6 second or 1/8 second. Jaeger-LeCoultre's Duometre, Habring2, Girard-Perregaux, etc . have all done that.
The super second hand is usually equipped with a new timing function. When the the right time is started, the turbo second hand will move synchronously. Since it requires very recurrent and rapid continuous conquering, stability and durability are hard to achieve.
Regarding GF's Foudroyante EWT, it is lightning second hand is made of tiny components using micro-mechanical architectural. It is directly driven from the escapement wheel and gets every 1/8 second, using a vibration frequency of twenty eight, 800vph. The brand says that will compared with traditional lightning sharp needles, it consumes 1, 700 times less energy and also takes up 96% less place, making full use of the strength and limited surface living space of mechanical watches.
