Patek Philippe - The Sound of Time

In the first part of my article "Patek Philippe replica watches - the wonderful sound of the time", I used the traditional Schlagwerk to describe the history of the clock, probably the world's best watch manufacturer Patek Philippe.

In order to show time, in addition to optics, acoustic dimensions can only create the best watch manufacturers. But there are also differences here. Anyone who has had the opportunity to listen to different clocks with different manufacturers will be surprised to find that there are better solutions for acoustic quality.

In some iterations, for example, while the hammer is striking, they hear a humming sound or a clear audible click. Patek Philippe is not like this. This Geneva-based manufacturer has developed micromechanical solutions for decades that have accumulated experience in repeating the construction of watches, enabling them to experience pure sound. No annoying noise.

The number of hours played ten times, three times in a quarter, and 13 times in minutes. This resulted in 10 minutes and 58 minutes.

Overall, the theme of sound plays a key role in Patek Philippe's percussion watches. This is not an eccentric old relic, or even a marketing gimmick, each clock with Schlagvik will personally face the watch of Thierry Stern and a watchmaker/watchmaker finishes the watch made by the watch Perform a sound test. This app is an excellent quality test, like this, every fake luxury watches is done.

But how does the percussion watch work? More precisely, how do you convert a time display into an acoustic time display with a hammer and a hammer when needed? Because there is nothing else with a drum.

The distinction between clocks with self-influencing mechanisms, also known as sonneries and Repetitionsuhren, has been explained in the above link section 1 of this article. The Sonners broke the hours and hours when the mechanism was activated every hour and every quarter of an hour. In contrast, a small Sonnerie beat the entire hour and quarter of an hour, Petite Sonnerie beat the hour throughout the hour and quarter hour (no longer showing the entire hour). The famous pocket watch Calibre 89 provides Grande Complication with the mechanism of Grande and Petite Sonnerie.

However, repeating the watch will not be defeated independently. They must be activated by a slider on the edge of the housing (usually using a pusher). In both types of watches, the mechanism of "programming and converting time into acoustic signals" is very similar.

A sonar obtains the energy required for acoustic time display from a normally elevated barrel. Repeat the watch to get energy from the slide operation. Here, the spring is tensioned and then the wheels of the acoustic time display are driven.

Then we can understand the exact function of the Schlagwerk clock. I want to explain the mechanism by repeating as much as I can understand.BREITLING Cockpit B50 Orbiter VB50106A1O1S1

Some of the basic parts of the repeating mechanism can be found on the dial side of the movement and are invisible to the naked eye of ordinary observers.

Rugao, the hammer and the governor (Patrick Philippe is usually protected by a small cage cross-protected with gold Calatrava) can be found behind the movement, easily visible through the glass behind the watch.

I have already mentioned the slider on the side of the case. Once the slider is actuated, the impact mechanism reproduces the time acoustically.

This is a short video showing the mechanism in action.

Prizip is similar to a church clock, but the difference is that you can use Repetitionsuhr to trigger beats at any time. In addition, the time in the one-minute transponder is just right, that is, reprinted to the minute. The number of low-pitched sounds results in hours, the high-pitched high and high-pitched high-pitched highs from a quarter of an hour, and the high pitch reached the number of minutes.

Clocks with drums are technically very complicated. The repeating mechanism controls the precise sequence of movement of the levers, pins, wheels, cams and spring triggers so that the hammer on the hammer strikes correctly and evenly.replica swiss watches

Another challenge is the miniaturization of pocket watches and even watches. In addition to the traditional movement, a series of components must be placed without compromising the accuracy of the movement and being unable to withstand the clock in terms of size.

The acoustic time display should sound pleasant, don't be too loud or too quiet. In the production of such micromechanical art, it is almost unthinkable to consider how many different factors. Choosing the right shell material is a science in itself.

The actual Schlagwerk is an independent gear train. It is similar to the movement of an optical time display in its structure. It is driven by a tension spring (tensioned by a slider), a multi-stage gear mechanism and a device that prevents the impact mechanism from running too fast. Patek Philippe uses centrifugal governors here, which are well known on a larger scale, such as from historical steam engines.

After the bounce is over, the repeat mechanism still takes about 20 to 30 seconds to return to its original position. During this time, the mechanical device can neither be triggered again nor manipulated on the winding crown.

I think the acoustic time display is very time consuming and obvious. How fascinating this way of sensing time today is.patek philippe grandmaster chime
