Tag Heuer new Pendulum Concept

Pendulum Concept

Since the creation of the Galileo-inspired hairspring by Christiaan Huygens in 1675, the regulating organ of all mechanical watches has been based on a balance wheel and spiral-shaped torsion hairspring system. A coiled strip of fine metal alloy, the hairspring provides the torque necessary for the balance wheel to oscillate and regulate its frequency.
In the TAG Heuer Pendulum Concept, the traditional hairspring is replaced by an “invisible” or virtual spring derived from magnets.
The complete device forms a harmonic oscillator. The magnetic field, generated by means of 4 high-performance magnets and controlled in 3D through complex geometric calculations, provides the linear restoring torque necessary for the alternative oscillations of the balance wheel. The oscillating period of the TAG Heuer Pendulum Concept is resistant to changes from perturbing forces, which is what makes it an exceptionally good timekeeping device.
The movement built with this revolutionary oscillator is fully mechanical and does not contain any electronics or driven actuators. The magnets generate a constant field over decades.
TAG Heuer Pendulum Concept, the world’s first oscillator in a mechanical movement without hairspring, beats at 43,200/hour (6 Hertz) — making it a superlative representative of TAG Heuer’s unique mastery of high frequencies and ultimate precision. It requires no additional components and is based on physical magnetic properties.
It gets its name from an earlier Huygens creation — the pendulum clock of 1657.

Qui cambia tutto, i magneti sono sempre stati nella storia dell'orologeria meccanica (non quella al quarzo) un problema, invece questo movimento utilizza i magneti per l'organo oscillante...... ....... beh che dire ....... interessante davvero . Ma come si comporterà in presenza di altri campi magnetici ??

in questo caso Tag da una bella risposta ai critici......e alle recenti brutte figure......

l'avevo visto...sul tubo gira anche qualche filmato...

very interesting...chissà il prezzo...

Molto bello e interessante, innovativo...prezzo proibitivo???

a volte ritornano?

assurdo che chi sforni a ritmo regolare tutta una serie
di concept,non si costruisca i movimenti e quando lo fa
sono su licenza!!!

è per i nuovi arrivati....
