Aeternitas Mega 4 - perfect creation of Franck Muller

Aeternitas Mega 4In November 2009 the american collector Michael Gold got unique watch in barrel-shaped case Cintree Curvex from hands of representatives of watch company Franck Muller. That evening he became the owner of the first piece of Aeternitas Mega 4, which are the most complicated mechanical wristwatch from the history of humanity. In 2002 the subdivision of development and innovations of watch manufacture Franck Muller headed 67 y.o. Pier-Michelle Golay. In his service record were noted watches for watch house Patek Philippe and Audemar Piguet. He started his work with amazing inspiration on collection of ultracomplicated movements of watches called Aeternitas Mega 4. The initiator of genus of Aeternitas was the model of chronograph Revolution 1 (the same as Imperial Tourbillon), which was produced at the beginning of XXI century. That was powerful flying tourbillon, window was situated at half of dial. But one tourbillon was not enough, the true meaning of the novelty was in pushing the side button-entire carriage of the compensating unit climbed up to the glass and linger there for as long as the holder of watches did not release the button. By the way the hands moved at initial position of 12-hours and stopped there, without preventing from examine detail of the descent. When tourbillon went down on its place, they began to work. In 2003 tourbillons got the second axis of rotation-in watches Revolution 2, the negative effects of gravity offset in both vertical and horizontal positions. Internal carriage makes one revolution per minute, and external - one turn in 8 minutes, as reported by LEDs on the left and right sides of the tourbillon window. In 2004, Franck Muller watch factory, and yielded a third dimension - the tourbillon was triaxial, and his third carriage makes one revolution per hour. In addition, three chronograph Revolution could boast a 10-day autonomous movement, even at that time, making it one of the most unique and outstanding Tourbillon in the world.
Transitional finale was the implementation of Revolution in chronographs Evolution 3-1: a triaxial tourbillon, which had a 240-hour power reserve, perpetual calendar with the added indication of the phase of the moon. Accommodated on the face of a large number of different pointers - and subsequently their numbers will grow because of this issue to the present invention will add a sophisticated mechanics no less difficult task of finding the optimal location indicators to understand the tangle of numbers and hands. Information overload and to this day remains one of the major challenges of the project, causing a lot of the comments of those who prefer to deal with the visualAeternitas Mega 4 watch mechanism and practical indication. It should be clear that solution of difficulties, which connected with dial's organization of Aeternitas Mega 4, just by the half was the problems of designers, which dial adapted to the a small area's needs of a complex fire and not the watch movement with the readability of the indicators. To achieve the desired result Goley could at the initial stage of development drawings, that's why the first drawings has great resemblances with ready movement. 2006 was noted by Aeternitas debut . The the watch’s name translated from Latin as “eternity”. The watch was called on purpose. Firstly the movement got platinum microrotor, and as known, chronographs with winding in ten years after its development were called perpetual. Secondly, Golay managed to improve Calender's characteristics which is set to Caliber 3410. Instead of conditional exact indication of month and date, which manage traditional Calender, the newest module did not require the correction. It is all in Gregorian calendar's uniqueness: it's  forefather-Julian's calender cleaned the discrepancy between calendar and astronomical time-6 hours a year-with the help of 366 day, which added to every fourth year. This day fell by February, the last Roman's calendar month, and the increased year itself became to calls “leap”. Aeternitas perpetual Calendar is flawless, it shows right date and month during 1000 years, and then comes to the beginning of cycle. Aeternitas Mega 4 can boasts another record . American millionaire, who was mentioned at the beginning, bought the first piece of watch for 2,7 million dollars. Thus, Franck Muller's watchmakers created the most expensive wristwatch, which was sold not on the auction but directly.
