Double escapement wheel two is many, at the same time the use of four wheel in the watch did not appear before
Many people choose mechanical reason expensive and go out, just like the mechanical watch movement seems to have the rhythm of life. This rhythm refers to the mechanical wheel swing table. Many brands of promo, showing a watch manufacturing process is to balance began to wobble as the birth of the sign, balance began to wobble in a moment to the people as if baby is born very sacred feeling.
What is the balance of

We by the watch back through the surface and see the beating of the component is the balance wheel, above spring like called gossamer < br / >

We often see the current balance is such, also known as light pendulum balance, the English called smooth Glucydur balance. From the end of the last century, the end of 60 years, more than 90% of the Swiss watch is light.
A name is not literal English of the Balance Wheel, to swing back and forth movement name translation is very vivid. The mechanical watch is right or not, depends on the amplitude of the balance, which is the wheel swing amplitude. The measurement of the pendulum is a basic project of the mechanical table state detection. The normal wheel swing between 270 to 315 degrees. Watch frequencies, we often say, is to balance the swing frequency, for example vibration frequency is 18000 BPH is balance within an hour of swinging back and forth 18000 times, equivalent to 9000 back and forth.
Once extremely faceless balance
The watch is equivalent to the balance in the beating heart, very important. Before the article introduced the Englishman John Harrison because of dual metal structure balance contributions to get the British government launched warp bonus (longitude prize), elected in the referendum on the BBC in the selection of the 100 outstanding British (100 greatest Britons) ranked 39. Swiss French physicist Guillaume (Charles & eacute; douard Guillaume) because of the contribution to the balance wheel material invar invar alloy 1896 won Nobel Prize (what's so interesting haven't seen, hurriedly subscribe to look at the front of the article.
The role of the
As control flow rate
Watch open movement is very complex, plywood, screws, red gem axial, blue hairspring spring, but there what parts is the most important? Nothing better than & mdash; & mdash; gear, all display the time of the second hand, minute hand and hour hand are installed in the respective gear with the gear to rotate. Control the gear to turn the fast or slow, collocation dial scale, to achieve the time, that is, we see the time on the dial.

To control the gear change fast or slow speed, rely on the so-called escapement. Function is to control the drive time, minutes, seconds of gear rotation speed of the valve. Escapement, is to make the volume stored in the spring of the elastic potential energy, steady release, not all of a sudden is released.
Kinetic energy from the barrel out to escapement system, through the four gears, after four gears is in order to let drive escapement gear to rotate faster. We all know that the table is faster than the slow pendulum, the speed is achieved through the acceleration of the gear. The acceleration of gear is also very good understanding, we ride a mountain bike, mountain bike gear, rear wheel can be from small to large conversion, small cap can be laborious but wheels turn soon. Continue through the market on small role, can let tick operation of the escapement fork and escapement wheel usually per hour operation 21600 times. Energy is conserved, the energy of the same wound into more than 2 copies, each consumed energy is very small, but also let the table go longer, because the unit is very small, the time will be more accurate. That is simple in the.
Only one Roger Dolby four wheel
Generally speaking, control the flow of water installing a faucet can, more advanced in order to more smoothly, two, is a double escapement, which is still a lot of. But with four it is unique, has not been seen in the pocket watch era. And the result of this design, but also from the visual and auditory are very amazing. 4 beat balance, plus 4 balance wheel escapement sound, people really feel energetic.
