Movement and text details
The movement is a Jacquet7060 with a custom module made for HW, an HW2821.
This actually has an amazing 5 day power reserve and as a world first, it has a gear train with NO BACKLASH.
This is done via a compensating toothed gear,
featuring a notch on each tooth, this controls the amount of free play between the various trains.
This results in a greater precision of the hour and minute display....ie, pointing to the exact position of the hour that corresponds to the minute, which has been an irritation of many hi end watches ....eg the hour hand pointing to slightly off the exact middle between markers when the minute hand is exactly at 6.
Note the two tone power reserve indicator.
The wheels are all polished and chamfered, hand blued screws, Cotes de Geneve...are some examples of the amount of detail put into the movement.
The movement and the notched gears are an indication of the technical direction and how serious HW is as a watchmaker today.
What a torture!
