I wonder what mr journe would say when challenged that this piece seems to be somewhat gimmicky, just because it seems so contrary to the reputation of the brand.
Is the frequency of the Centigraph not irrelevant in measuring increments of 1/100th sec?
The criticisms of the ability of the Centigraph in being able to measure time periods down to 1/100 th of a sec seem to be centred around the frequency only being 21,600 rather than 360,000. I do not really understand why this has to be a requirement with...
your analaogy is as flawed as the concept behind the watch
Hi Mark, I appreciate that you are trying to make sense of Mr. Journe's invention, but I fear that it is a lost cause. The problem is highlighted by the clock analogy to some extent in fact. If you were to use the distance a pendulum had traveled during a...
BUT... I just watched the video on the FPJourne website
and about half way into it (when the remining time counter on the video reads 2.07), there is a close up of how the escapement wheel drives the 1 sec hand at the 10 o'clock position. It does not look IMO to be driven directly by the escapement wheel as I ...
There is no dispute about
the definition of being able to measure up to 1/100th : i.e., the ability to demarcate the 56/100th from the 57/100th of a second, that IS THE SCIENTIFIC DEFINITION so to speak. I am afraid there is NONE of such mechanism built in for the Centigraphe. If ...
