Press release – the date and the future! A pioneer in the use of new materials, manufacturing, Audemars Piguet once again opened up new clues with the Royal Oak Carbon concept and timing Tourbillon watch. Is the first and only watch company to master forged carbon technology, manufacturing, in Le Brassus is taking further steps, the first watch equipped with two cases and the movement of carbon. Lightweight and sturdy tone of this special timer, as the carbon, forged carbon and amorphous carbon coating, its materials also include ceramics, titanium and aluminum eloxed. In its show that the model is entirely original linear time-minute counter. Royal Oak Carbon concept and timing Tourbillon watch undoubtedly foreshadowed the future.
Always one step ahead
In 2002, the 30th anniversary, the Royal Oak collection, Audemars Piguet put forward a concept of observation, the concept of the Royal Oak, caused a sensation. Today, manufacturers do not step in Le Brassus and introduced the concept of the Royal Oak Carbon tourbillon and metering. This super-light watches the first time a combination of carbon and flows, and the inherent complexity of 384 – part of the flywheel timing caliber 2895 movement.
Appearance, while the concept of the Royal Oak Carbon tourbillon watches and time to reflect the scope of the developments mean that the project. Forged carbon selected clothes circumstances in the Middle East version of this concept. Although this material is widely used in large parts of the aviation industry, Audemars Piguet is the first it has to adapt to small watch parts, as well as the aesthetic demands of Haute Horlogerie. Royal Oak signature panel is to produce ceramics, as pushpieces and crown. The latter is to strengthen relations with the United States and functions of the first letter of the unique characteristics of the positioning system, these two letters, the horizontal fully locked. At the same time, a security ring around 8 screw caseback exclusive design and production of physical vapor deposition titanium black.
Nor is the campaign also said that the material not to be outdone. The mainplate by the carbon and the central bridge from green eloxed aluminum. On the caseback side, bridges black coating deposition, and the control and coupling levers are black PVD-coated in relief and beautification of hand-painted metallic ring. 2 power reserves wrapped in a cone of amorphous carbon coating, as insert decorative openworked areas in 6 and 12 o’clock. At the same time, the flywheel transport of its unusual design – composed of more than 70 areas of the body weight of only 0.45 grams – to treat a two-tone black PVD and steel completed.
Large and complex Calibre 2895
Exclusive Audemars caliber hand injury in 2895 is composed of 384 parts. Live in its future “coachwork”, it combines the flywheel, a time-and double-barrel system to ensure that the 237 hours driving force reserve. It has central hour and minute hands, a power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock, select indicators at 6 o’clock, central time sweep second hand, and linear time-minute counter.
Ingenuity company’s logo is the 2895 Caliber
Caliber in 2895 adopted a fast-rotating twin barrels system – with some of the original is limited to 19.75 – a constant force to ensure the entire 237 hours of autonomy, and thus to improve their quality time. In fact, the full power reserve available thanks to two series-coupled barrels per day, amounting to about 290 hours. However, a clever locking system – in low-and high-definition disc-level areas – focus on running time of 237 hours, so as to ensure best practices. 19.75 winding turns of each barrel – a number much higher than average – it is possible to use a special thin spring.
Power reserve is displayed in 12-point advantage two other aspects of development, to ensure reliable and accurate display thanks to perfect adjustment. Power Reserve showed that transmission through a back bipyramid by Audemars Piguet in 1885. Development of the system suitable for watches, so that the extremely fine-tuning the amplitude indicators hands. Beryllium copper cone coated in amorphous carbon upward and downward movement of barrels of ornamental trees in accordance with the degree of winding up the position of low, a barrel fully wound, and vice versa. With this mobile cone, the second cone, also coated the amorphous carbon and picked up the information transmitted to the power reserve indicator hand at 12 o’clock. The amorphous carbon coating, is to ensure the excellent tribological properties of cone relationship between the two. In order to ensure the accuracy of power reserves and improve the safety of the impact or sudden movement, an unprecedented double rack and gear system to ensure permanent liquidator’s hand, so its accuracy.
Finally, the caliber 2895 also has a mechanism for the choice of indicators. According to the position of stem-winding, hand position on the dial-up showed up at 6 o’clock menu. In H, N and R indications correspond to the three posts winding stem: neutral (N), the winding-up (R) and time settings (h).
