If one kind of system tables are only a few watchmakers art can really grasp, it must be a timekeeping device, which is recognized as the most difficult to master replica Rolex watchmaking skills in complex processes. 200 years, SOLITAIRE Vacheron Constantin continue to create such a fine masterpiece.
Today, Vacheron Constantin launched Patrimony Contemporaine 1731 ultra-thin movement , engraved with the prestigious Geneva Seal, once again set a new milestone. This exquisite watch is not only equipped with sophisticated timekeeping devices, while overcome technical difficulties, creating the thinnest on the market movement and the thinnest of the three asked three questions Replica Watches UK. Movement thickness of only 3.90 mm, and the movement of the watch is equipped with a thickness of only 8.09 mm, both the exquisite art of watchmaking to the extreme.
First a repeater wristwatch was born in the 18th century, because of the advent of electric lighting yet, people need to rely on timekeeping know at night time. Today, in spite of three repeater watch is no longer a must-have feature, it is still a top symbol of the art of watchmaking. Because each one is unique miniature asked the table, each one carrying the watchmakers unique imprint.
Each one has its own watch the rhythm of life, Naruto played upon his own music, often chime sound, as if reciting a passage time of elegance and Music. Watch three questions may need to set alarms at the whole point, the whole moment and minutes. Edge of the dial to the time slider is the case with the main complex device only exposed part of the flick the slider, a hammer spring herald the whole bass sounded when the two were percussion hammer spring herald the treble and bass the whole moment, the last minute by the treble spring herald.
Inheritance professional skills and superior quality
Vacheron Constantin is not only built on top of historical heritage, but also to world-renowned luxury watch compose a real, enduring hymn. In 1810, Vacheron Constantin created the brand’s first three questions a pocket watch.

If 1929 was the king of Egypt King Fouad and in 1935 his son King Farouk customized watch, elegant, immortal. In 1941, Vacheron Constantin launched the first single-complicated watches, using three questions form shape design is equipped with 4261 movement.

Superb technology is not only reflected in the movement’s own slim, 1731 comes with an extremely clever movement device – flight timekeeping governor by Vacheron Constantin in 2007 for the three series of the 2755 movement, the movement asked specifically developed. With traditional lever governor is different is that this governor is completely silent.
Governor function is to stabilize the hammer percussion sound spring rate. If the lack of regulator or governor, Panasonic will follow the order of frequency drum clockwork percussion sound out, only to produce rapid and difficult to identify the scale. Vacheron Constantin manufacture flight governor inertia block or two from the weight composition, as governor rotation axis brake to balance the three asked watch cylindrical spring energy released. To achieve this functionality, the brake with the centrifugal and centripetal forces.
When the governor rotates, centrifugal force weights at one end of the center outwards, and the other end of the pressure in the rotary shaft, so that the rotational speed is more stable, more stable timekeeping rhythm. Governor nuances have been carefully polished modification, engraved with the brand logo ” Maltese Cross “logo, but the logo can not be seen from the front of the movement.
Pursuit to perfect harmony phonological
Patrimony Contemporaine 1731 watchmakers ultra-thin movement embodies the best sound quality for the pursuit invested a lot of effort, because the sound quality is the key to success timekeeping watches.

Case and movement integration, cleverly taken into account in the design of the mechanical and the case airflow between other small parameters, so that to achieve the best sound propagation effects. Vacheron Constantin, the pursuit of perfection did not stop there – the case itself does not have any seams, all components interoperate, metal bit accurate docking, thereby expanding the amplitude of the sound while flying governor will ensure that the hammer to knock a steady rate strike gongs.
Each watchmakers took several months for him to assembly and commissioning of the three asked the watch into their own music, but the sound to go through the movement Vacheron timekeeping device expert sensitive ears listen, but also to go through a few fine-tuning procedures to ensure high bass in perfect harmony. Tests carried out in the morning 4:49 am sharp, the whole point of this time (sounded four times), the whole moment (sounded three times) and minutes (sounded four times) at intervals almost the same, and therefore the most rhythm at this time clear.
The real question form where the soul, that is unique to each watch sounds, in the factory will be recorded and carefully preserved, thereby carved Vacheron Constantin watches hall in a “sound marks.” This process not only ensures all Vacheron Constantin watches – whether historical or contemporary works before – provide lifelong maintenance, and to ensure that any one with three repeater function watch can be in the workshop restore its unique sound.
