Horological Meandering

I don't know if you have watched the presentation of the MikroTimer 1000 but this is the official video :

===>     baselworld.tagheuer.com 
 

Still a concept watch, only several minutes of power reserve and an uncertain reliability. 2 frequency engines as for the Mikrograph.

500Hz, 3.600.000 beats/hour for the chronograph : just amazing.

Enjoy the video !

that's why I always loved and respected the work TAG Heuer does. Their concept watches are always fascinating and exceedingly well designed!

Thanks for posting,

Come to think of it, that would be a good use for the big spring.

of the piece live in action!

...and I love that Tag is exploring various new concepts, but at a certain point, I find it hard to enjoy the motion of the second hand when it gets to moving this fast!

It's not very beautiful to watch this second hand flying like a propeler, I think the Mikrograph 1/100 th is much nicer on this point.

Happy that the technical achievement takes widely over that  !

No message body

The watch is not bad either.

It looks very good.

Best regards,

Yes Marc it will need a barrel the size of a pizza !

Another picture from Tag's website showing there is no balance wheel :

I believe that "perforated aluminum plate" serves the role of the balance in the "high-speed" part of the watch

...and when they can fit 1,000 readable graduated indices around the outer track of the dial it might be useful.

But is it accurate? A hand moving around a dial in 1000 steps is one thing. Splitting a second into 1000 equal parts is another.

I couldn't find any details of what looks like a palletless anchor? Anyone?
