Frederique Constant Manufacture Tourbillon Grand Feu

limited edition 188 pieces, enamel dial, Breguet-style hands, manufacture tourbillon with silicon escapement

Manufacture Tourbillon Caliber    

Based on its award-winning Heart Beat Manufacture Calibre, Frédérique Constant developed its Tourbillon fully in-house with a number of unique features:

    - Silicium (or Silicon) Escapement Wheel and lever
    - Smart Weight Balancing
    - Fast Oscillation at 28’800 BpH
     -Tourbillon Cage individually numbered


Silicium (or Silicon) Escapement Wheel


The Silicium Escapement Wheel and Lever have the following three main advantages:

Improvement    

Lubricant-free running


Benefit
   
1.  Age-related thinning and drying of lubrication will no longer occur

2.  An escapement wheel without oiling avoids the risk that oil spreads to other parts of the movement.

Very light (low inertia)    The escapement wheel is accelerated and

                                         stopped at each tick and tock of the watch.

                                         The lower weight silicium escapement wheel

                                         has lower inertia, increasing energy efficiency.


Good friction properties    Lower friction reduces loss of energy, hence

                                          the energy requirement for the calibre is lower.

Da quello che ho letto in rete, il prezzo dovrebbe aggirarsi intorno ai 50k  :o
