The pursuit of the perfect voice: Audemars Piguet superman

In the modern watchmaking industry, many of the complications that were difficult to produce (and therefore very expensive) were becoming less and less. Because of the desire to provide consumers with better value (and greater pressure because of the initial boom in the early 21st century), the watch brands are increasingly using industrial manufacturing methods to create complications such as tourbillon and permanent calendar More affordable than ever before. But there are still some complications that boycott this trend - one of them is minutes
Relay.

Audemars Piguet: Royal Oak Concept Supersonnerie

Instead of becoming more affordable, almost the opposite trend can be seen in the repeater - they are becoming more and more places where the brand shows their highest professional knowledge as well as the corresponding high prices. One of the latest watches Replica Watches is Audemars Piguet's "Supersonnerie", an eight-year, three-minute repeater designed to provide a range of technical improvements that AP will make it the best repeater world. (The term "sonnerie" is the most common type of watch, this watch can withstand time rather than on demand; but the terms used alone can also refer to repeaters, sonnerie "here may be chaotic, so we should clarify, Supersonnerie is a three-question newspaper, not a big sonnerie.

To understand why, it helps to see what is the three question time, how does it do what it does.

In addition to the advanced three-comment timer, Supersonnerie also integrates a 30-minute chronograph and tourbillon regulator.

A three-ask timer is a clock, press the clock "on demand", that is, it rings time when you tell it. Normally, the repeater will function when the slider is pushed into the side of the housing. Push the slider to blow a spring to power the spring. A classic triple repeater will sound on two gongs: a lower pitch, a higher one. Little jingle in the low gong on. The number of hours before hours is indicated by the bells on the lower and higher gongs. And minutes on the higher gong.
In every minute of the repeater is a complex system of gears, cams and levers composed of three asked the complications of the time. The triple repeater basically operates by mechanically reading the time from the position of the hand and then making the time shorter. The three-comment timer is not a new complication; it exists in the Breguet era in a largely modern form.

Abraham-Louis Breguet also attaches great importance to the watch Rolex Replica. In 1783, he created the first eye-catching repetitive watch, by a gong instead of a bell, which was so far used in general operations. Initially straight, and crossed on the backplane, gongs evolved into round, rounded around the movement. Its advantage is greatly reduced the thickness of the amazing watch, while making the tone more harmonious and clearer. A very useful invention, which was adopted by most contemporary watchmakers immediately. Bao et al. Also invented a variety of watch repetition mechanisms, especially for quarterly, half minutes and minutes. As in the era of treasure, modern watchmakers face some challenges: make the repeater as loud as possible, but at the same time make it sound happy. In addition, the repeater can adjust the repeater according to how to adjust the time, and the clock too fast or too slow may sound unpleasant. Perhaps more than any other complex, a three-time newspaper needs a watchmaker to understand the watch Imitation watches as a whole, because the quality of the sound is closely related to the structure of the box and the dial.

Supersonnerie's side view of the situation. Allowing the sound from the reed spring to pass through the hole in the housing back cover of the inner resonant membrane is visible.
