New EMC Concept by Urwerk
Recently, the founders of the famous watch company Urwerk Felix Baumgartner and Martin Fry have announced the completion of works over the EMC concept, to combine traditional mechanics and advanced electronics.
The caliber is equipped with an electronic system of the optical sensor, the calculated block with the condenser and the generator, measuring the oscillation periods of the balance wheel and eliminating their errors. The system works without batteries and is fully autonomous.
The balance wheel is made of a copper-nickel alloy ARCAP, varies with the speed of 28,800 vibrations per hour, or 4 Hz. The mechanism is equipped with an adjustable screw by which is possible easily to change the length of the spiral.
Partners are now working to minimize the construction to the size of the wrist, which should be available by the autumn of this year.
