Spring Drive is a mechatronic marvel that is also indisputably a work of art. Nearly all of the astonishing 276 components, meticulously crafted and hand assembled, are those of a classical mechanical watch. As an inspired design piece with exquisite attention to detail, each timepiece reveals the fascinating complexity and graceful motion of Spring Drive through its crystal caseback
The genius of Spring Drive is found in three key innovations.
First, the mainspring has been engineered with a new high-elasticity alloy called Spron 510 which enables it to deliver more power, more smoothly, and for longer. With 72 hours of reserves, Spring Drive runs twice as long as conventional mechanical watches.
Second, the new “Magic Lever” winding system is fitted directly to the shaft of the oscillating weight for a 30% more efficient transmission of power.
Third, Spring Drive’s revolutionary new regulating system, tri-synchro regulator, replaces the inferior escapement system used by classical mechanical timekeeping for over 250 years. By regulating the mechanical, electrical, and electromagnetic energy generated by the mainspring, Spring Drive achieves unprecedented precision and stability. |
