Hearing about the sports watch, probably the majority believes that the more massive and heavier than their case looks, the better it will protect the inside mechanism of shock. But think for a second watch movement is installed securely in the case, and thus makes him whole, and vibration transmitted from the blow calmly mechanism, passing through the case. How to solve it - the first company came up with Jaeger-LeCoultre.
 Of course, the impact force could be reduced, making the watch out of some plastic and elastic material such as rubber, but this will love not everyone. Therefore, Jaeger-LeCoultre decided to create a system that absorbs shocks, which will work not only on the posters. To do this, Master Compressor Extreme World Chronograph applied a double hull: out of steel or platinum, and titanium inside. But that's not all, or a "rattle" would amount to more problems. Between buildings installed amortization - spar and bottom welt top, which allows the internal body to move vertically on impact. And this is a serious protection - suppress the impact force, sending it into motion.
According to Jaeger-LeCoultre, the best watches are equally important as the functionality and presentation. It sounds simple, but actually not so easy to translate: very often colorful and striking design feature is contrary hours, and the mechanism has changed a great deal to do at last earned hours. It is one thing - think of watches, which theoretically would be all right, and quite another - to make a clock that  would work in real life. Even if the tests show COSC watch yourself well in all six positions, because the balance wheel will always be horizontal, it does not guarantee that they will go very well when they put on the hand. When Jaeger-LeCoultre watches experienced Extreme World, then carefully studied the effect of dynamic movement, and even attacks on the work hours. As a result, a chronograph mechanism Extreme World is set to air shock absorbers - the world's first real shock-resistant case.
Dissipation is due to the impact that reduced recoil momentum, as in the case, thanks to depreciation, compressed air is used. This is vital because if the moment of impact it does not, spring will give impetus to the entire movement and it move back with the same force with which was impacted.
Chrono Extreme World - it may be the only market to watch is really shockproof casing.
