Following the success of the Big Bang, launched in 2005, Hublot set out on its next big challenge, to create an in-house movement following the same design philosophy of their iconic case. The result is the calibre 1240 โUnico,โ which demonstrates the bra...
Also the description of the LIGA process is very informative. I am glad you stated that the parts shown are not made for the Unico movement. When Ulysse Nardin started to employ the LIGA manufacturing, they soon realized that it was less than optimal for ...
Rolex's statement about the new chronergy escapement: "High-technology processes are also used, such as LiGA (micromanufacturing by electroforming) to produce the paramagnetic pallet fork and escape wheel of the new Chronergy escapement." Seiko: "The 9S66...
... so I have to use my leaky memory to compose a reply. I know that Ulysse Nardin created the so-called Dual Ulysse escapement in their 160 years anniversary timepiece by LIGA process in 2006. Back then, Nickel-Phosphor composition of complex shapes was ...
Very possible indeed that modern advances have enabled this process to create components suited for fast-moving and sliding components, and this probably accounts for its use today among mainstream brands/watches. Thanks again, Brandon
I learned more about the process and it showed Hublot truly is at the forefront of technology. All this for a 'standard' workhorse movement. Regards, MTF
