Hight Quality Tag Heuer Carrera Grand Carrera Replica For Sale
Notable CollaborationsDuring the course of years, Strehler occasionally embarked on collaborations with major watchmaking brands. Among the companies that Strehler worked for are Harry Winston (specifically its Opus 7 watch), Maitres du Temps (Chapter Three), Maurice Lacroix (Masterpiece Le Chronographe Squelette), H.Moser & Cie (Perpetual 1 piece that won the Best Complicated Award at the GPHG 2006),Tag Heuer Carrera Grand Carrera Replica Vogard Datezone Pilot Chronograph, Chronoswiss (Chronoscope; this collaboration is likewise of upmost importance for Sauturelle timekeeper, but we shall talk about it a bit later on) and others. It is very important to say that the renowned Swiss horologist is also a member of the Academie Horlogere des Createurs Independants (AHCI) since 2000 and that he is this year's winner of the prestigious Gaia Award in the category Crafts - Creation which is given by the jury of the International Watch Museum in Chaux-de-Fond's.
Strehler's InsectsThe new Sauturelle timekeeper is one of Strehler's creations that follows the philosophy which compares the watch movements to living organisms. Though launched after the similarly inspired Papillon (French for "butterfly"; premiered in 2008) and Cocon (meaning "cocoon"; saw the light of day last year), Sauturelle ("grasshopper") is actually a concept from a few years ago. The watch was actually supposed to be launched by Chronoswiss with whom Strehler was collaborating (it was supposed to have the same name - Sauterelle). Unfortunately for Chronoswiss, due to difficulties that marred the company at that time, the project was not completed and the watch was not launched. Fortunately for all watch aficionados, Strehler is now presenting this concept in his own interpretation. Andreas Stehler Sauturelle was initially previewed at this year's edition of the Baselworld show and fully unveiled and exposed at the Salon QP in London this November, where the watchmaker even presented a larger scale model of the timepiece in order to explain its functioning.
The Problem of Regulated EnergyAs it has been mentioned, the main horological value of the Strehler's new watch is the original planetary mechanism that tackles the problem of energy regulation. Usually, when a mainspring is fully wounded, the balance receives more energy than it is necessary. When the power reserve is at the end,rolex replica watches we have a reversed situation and the amount of distributed energy is insufficient. Both of these situations have a harmful effect on the accuracy of the timepiece. This is an issue of paramount importance, as it can be demonstrated with the fact that Girard-Perregaux Constant Escapement L.M. timepiece (that has its own manner in which it resolves the problem) snatched the main award at this year'sedition of the GPHG awards. Some of the other solutions to the problem are exemplified in the models we have previously reviewed, such as A. Lange & Sohne Lange Zeitwerk Handwerkskunst, Christophe Claret Kantharos Chronograph, IWC's models Ingenieur Constant-Force Tourbillon and Portuguese Siderale Scafusia, Thomas Prescher Nemo Captain and Zenith Academy Christophe Colomb Hurricane.
The First Ever Remontoire d'Egalite with a Satellite GearHowever, let us get back to the "Grasshopper" model we are now covering. This watch uses an innovative version of remontoire d'egalite mechanism in order to tackle the problem. This feature, also known as just remontoire, utilizes a secondary source of energy, or in other words, the balance does not get the energy straight from the mainspring, but instead through an intermediary which is in this instance the skeletonized planetary mechanism. This exposed satellite gear distributes the same amount of power to the seconds wheel. Moreover, it simultaneously displays secondes mortes as it rotates in six degree increments (Among the others, this complication also known as dead-beat seconds where the indication for seconds moves in one-second increments, just like it can be seen in quartz watches, is present in the previously reviewed Antoine Martin Slow Runner, Arnold & Son East India Set and Gronefeld One Hertz). The energy from twin barrels of the watch's mechanism travels to the satellite wheel with a star-shaped contours and afterwards gets transferred to the balance. Then, until the next impulse, the satellite wheel stands still again the palette-stone. It is very important to accentuate that this is the first time that this planetary mechanism is used in a wristwatch.
