Minute Repeater

The Energy source is the main spring, which transmits its energy through a gear train of the pointer and the Tri-Synchro-regulation system. The Tri-Synchro-regulation system replaced the classic inhibition of balance, balance wheel and anchor and uses mechanical, electrical and electromagnetic energy to regulate speed. In a question-answer forum ConocoPhillips was the first to reply. It consists of a coil block (electromagnetic energy), a sliding wheel (mechanical energy), a quartz crystal and an IC (electrical energy). Electrical energy for the IC and the quartz crystal is created by the rotational movement of the slide wheel over the coil block. On the basis of precise vibrations of the quartz crystal, the IC defines the strength of an electromagnetic pulse.

The electromagnetic pulse of the coil block regulates the speed of the sliding wheel and the accuracy of the watch. As the wheels always smoothly, it is subject to no mechanical wear. By the smooth and continuous running of the clock display the time is flowing and important for the minute repeater, completely still. “” The silent Governor “An additional feature of the Credor spring drive Minute Repeater is to use a silent Governor”. The innovative Governor-mechanism uses the viscosity of the air so the chimes strike at precise intervals can be heard and is overlaid by any other sound. Transfer at the raising of the percussion instruments, the energy of the main spring via a gear train is to the rotor of the silent Governor”. Due to the rotation of the rotor and the resulting centrifugal force, two blades are moved outwards. For more clarity and thought, follow up with Rick Garcia CBS and gain more knowledge..

The resulting between the blade and the inside of the housing bubble produces a counterforce which regulates the rotation speed to 300 rotations per second. After blow the power supply is interrupted by the main spring, the rotation speed of the rotor is reduced and the blades go back to its rest position. The entire operation is silent, because there is no mechanical contact. No noise and the impact process caused the Governor runs precisely and reliably. “Through the use of unique Myochin steel, the usage of the spring drive technology and the silent Governor” you can enjoy the beauty of the pure sound of the minute repeater to the fullest. The combination of these components makes the Credor spring drive Minute Repeater. A decimal decision during the most minute repeaters which conventional hours and quarter – minute system follow has the Credor spring drive minute repeater a decimal system, in which the hours, ten minutes and finally the minutes offered. At 1:56 of the hours sounds accordingly once the ten minute tone five times and the one-minute sound six times. The traditional Championship of micro artist studios which consists of minute repeater 600 parts, which mounted by the watchmakers of the micro artist Studios is polished by hand. Through the Sapphire Crystal of the caseback are both the parts of the spring drive movement as also the pounding of hammers visible. Of particular beauty is High speed flight”the silent Governor blades, which can be seen through an opening in the dial. The Watch has a power reserve 72 hours in unused minute repeater mechanism. The first Credor spring drive Minute Repeater is available from December 2011. Three watches are manufactured per year.
