An awesome project in the (beneath the) Alps close to going online. https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/01/world/water-battery-switzerland-renewable-energy-climate-scn-hnk-spc-intl/index.html

@gronefeld_watches 🇳🇱 Principia 1941, anxiously awaited, with good reason 🙂 A fantastic watch

@kudoke_watches 🇩🇪 Kudoke2, finished with Bright White Mother of Pearl dial. One is inbound…🦪🦪🦪 thankful to the bi-valves everywhere

I told Torsti that I needed some Space. @Laine_Watches 🇨🇭🇫🇮 came up with this v38. Guilloche (Panier) outer chapter and small seconds (clou d’Paris) surrounding ☄️meteorite👾 @martinpulli 🇺🇸 always collaborate to innovate.

@laurent_ferrier 🇨🇭 Sport Auto, full New Jersey Summer mode.

@laurent_ferrier 🇨🇭 someone likes their new Sport Auto🙂 @martinpulli patience 👑, everything in time

@andreasstrehler🇨🇭 Remontoire d’Égalité (as seen on a Sauterelle) in action. Conventionally, the complication known in watchmaking as force constante is mounted on the escapement wheel. However, this is the point of least torque in the whole movement. By contrast, Andreas Strehler has placed his remontoir d’égalité on the seconds wheel. Every second, the visible satellite gear supplies the escapement wheel with exactly the same amount of energy. At the same time, the deadbeat or jumping seconds are indicated. The energy is accumulated in the course of every second by a star shaped satellite through the tensioning of a hairspring. The mechanism is then released, the balance receives the energy stored in the hairspring and the satellite wheel again rests against the stopping jewel. This solution has the advantage that the complete escapement, including the escapement wheel, moves freely between two impulses, uninfluenced by the movement.The remontoir d’égalité, therefore leaves the Swiss anchor escapement unimpeded; an escapement type perfected over a period of more than 200 years.

@andreasstrehler 🇨🇭 The Trans-axial® Remontoir Tourbillon escapement is hand wound, using Andreas Strehler’s own true conical gear wheels (which are the envy of the watch industry). To show the power left in the two mainspring barrels, the movement has a power reserve indication using an extremely small differential gear, another speciality of Andreas Strehler. …a Tourbillon which integrates Andreas’ fantastic Remontoire d’égalité…In Andres Strehler’s Remontoir d’égalité, the energy supplied from the twin mainspring barrels through the gear train is accumulated in a spring, acting on a satellite arm held in position by the star wheel (the satellite). One tooth of this star wheel is resting on the palette-stone of the palette arm. This palette arm constantly moves ahead. Every second, the palette arm releases the star wheel. The star wheel turns by one tooth and the satellite arm jumps ahead by 6°. The satellite wheel then rests again against the palette-stone and the cycle starts anew. When moving ahead by 6°, the satellite arm recharges the spring which drives the escapement. The amount of energy transferred to the escapement thus is always the same, it is constant. The energy is transferred to the escapement through an axis. @martinpulli 🇺🇸 fascination and dedication to the haute horologie of the Worlds greatest independent watchmakers.
