The watch's core and its important components

Human beings need a constant, universal and continuous measurement unit, and in the end, they choose to take seconds as their basic unit. The use of the second can be traced back to the Sumerian culture, which was adopted by the sumerians four thousand years ago. The timing unit of nature is the speed of the earth, and the time spent on rotation is divided into 24 hours, 60 minutes per hour, 60 seconds per minute, 1440 minutes per day, or 86400 seconds. The world's current legal time, called standard time, is calculated by the international time authority in Paris, France, and all clocks are based on it. In fact, from the day that the clock appeared, how to make the watch "go" -- as accurately as possible to reflect the time, became a basic working direction of the clock industry.
The original watch was not accurate, and one hour a day was normal. Today, a quality mechanical watch has a daily error of between two and five seconds. A fine quartz watch will not have the same error for a month, and the cesium clock will have a higher accuracy and 30 million years of error.
Watch how the accuracy, the stand or fall of its quality is very important, and the quality of watches in addition to materials and external decoration, mainly depends on whether it is well designed, seiko manufacturing, a perfect heart - inlaid movement. What's the difference between a real name factory watch, a complex feature watch that costs $500,000, and a common mechanical watch that costs only 50 to 80 yuan? It is said that the difference between them is like a fisherman's hut and a magnificent castle.
An average watch has about 90 to 120 pieces of spare parts, made and inlaid by machines, showing the time of the day, or even the second or the week or the date. Most of the multi-functional watches, priced between hundreds and thousands of yuan, are available in chronometer. The chronometer has two independently operated machines, one set for display time, and the other for measuring the length of time, the amount of time it takes to measure from one moment to another. There are more than two hundred parts in the meter, and the operation is independent, and there is no connection between the engine and the second hand. The most famous and precious "complex function table" has an internal structure and some 1,400 parts.
The heart of each watch has five complex parts
The driving part: the hairline, is a thin spiral piece of steel, the length limit is 20 to 60 centimeters, the thickness can only have 00.5 to 0.20mm, the curl hides in the chain of the gears.
The transmission part: the gearing system, consisting of a set of gears, each mounted on a large or small shaft, which is connected with the teeth, conveying the power to the escapement device and the display time section.
Acceptance part: the escapement device. It creates the pulsation of the wheel, distributes the power to the wheel, and makes the pendulum vibrate regularly.
The regulating part: the wheel. It oscillates back and forth rhythmically, dividing the time by an average of one paragraph, adjusting the rotation of the gear drive system to make sure the watch works properly.
Display part: time display. Include a font and pointer.
Whether the above five parts work well or not depends on whether the parts are made accurately, and the inlaying of the work must be absolutely accurate and must not be biased in any way. A miss is as good as a mile. A slight defect can destroy the accuracy of the table or even call an entire table to stop functioning.
The "multi-function watch" is the best work of the watch design and manufacturing technology and precision craft. Besides the display time, it has more and more functions. If the phases and seasons are shown, and can be set every hour, every 15 minutes, it has a calendar. The structure of this table is dense, and its design is like a house, which is layered. The lowest level is the dungeon, which is a time device that displays time, minutes and seconds. The second layer is the time of the time of the newspaper, the design of the precise model can be hourly, every quarter hour, every five minutes, even after every quarter hour. The core consists of 1, 400 to 1, 800 pieces, each of which is only a thousandth of a millimeter, each of which is cut, polished and cut by the top master.
In terms of technology, technology and craft, there are only a few European watchmakers that can make a few watches. Look at the industry today, and know how to make these "complex functional tables". Fewer than a hundred. And the skilled watchmaker makes one such machine, which usually takes six to twelve months.
The tourbillon is one of the most ingenious and innovative devices in the manufacturing table, and one of the most accurate masterpieces. Collecting the escapement device, the central part hides the regulating part. In 1791, brigai, a Swiss man known as the "king of watchmakers" and "emperor's watchmaker," designed the tourbillon. In the 1980s, complex features were incorporated into the topfly table to add one more function. Naturally, only a very expensive watch will fit it.
"Appear a table", can be said to be the peak in the design of the watch, the table board and plywood is not sealed, seems as if all parts connected only by a very fine thin hair, storage and transportation is how, how do balance wheel vibration, as well as the escapement how bar back and forth, etc., all is clear. This wonderful design makes people seem to see the pulse of life, and realize the secret of a world, which can not help but be breathtaking.
