New Sophisticated X-TREM-1 Watch by Christophe Claret
Famous for its sophisticated wristwatches the Swiss company Christophe Claret has decided to surprise once again the watch world with the new project, which will be presented at the international exhibition BaselWorld 2012.
In the new X-TREM-1 watch the manufacturer used the tourbillon function by applying magnetic fields to create the illusion of floating on air indicators of hour and minute. The X-TREM-1 watch - the first "swallow" of a new generation of watches, which are the main achievements of modern watchmaking in terms of technical equipment and aesthetics: "flying" tourbillon with an inclination angle of 30 °, mounted on three-dimensional titanium curved platinum and equipped with a retrograde system of hours and minutes indicating, this is radically different from existing ones. Two tiny steel balls, isolated in a sapphire tube on the left and right side of the case as if by magic moving next to the scales, covered with white fluorescent substance, due to magnetic fields.
The name of the model X-TREM-1 is an acronym for its technical capabilities:
X - Experimental
T - Time
R - Research
E - Engineering
M - Mechanism
The unique technology has been developed in conjunction with HEIG-VD (School of Business and Engineering) and the design team, headed by Professor Besson.
The case of the novelty has a rectangular shape and is made in several versions: polished pink gold, white gold or platinum. All cases are covered with PVD-coated in black titanium. The case dimensions constitute 56.80 mm x 40.80 mm x 15 mm. The watch water-resistant is up to 30 meters. On the reverse side of the case is placed the crown and the button of setting the time.
Inside the case is built a manufacturing mechanism FLY11 with manual winding. The dimensions of the mechanism are 46.4 mm x 26.6 mm x 11.94 mm. The caliber, collected on 64 jewels, includes 419 components, provides a 50-hour power reserve and the balance frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour. Two winding barrels, set in caliber, provide time indexing and the work of the tourbillon. In the carriage of "flying" tourbillon, which is located on ceramic bearings, is installed the second hand.
Of course, it should be noted that each movement from start to finish is hand-assembled by one master, who is responsible for its quality. All models are tested THF (Test Homologation Fiabilité) and only after that they become the holder of a certificate that certifies their accuracy and quality.
New technological masterpiece X-TREM-1 by the company's Christophe Claret comes on a black alligator strap or rubber.
If you are interested in this unique masterpiece of technical progress, hurry to buy a watch X-TREM-1, because the production of new items is very limited. Of the three model variants with cases made of various materials will be issued only in eight items.
