Watches That Are Less Useful Than Tourbillon
When it comes to the Jaeger-LeCoultre brand, there is too much to talk about. I have the habit of collecting information and bought an internal material published in China 35 years ago. In this typeset book, details of hundreds of watch-related manufacturers in Switzerland that year were included, including Jaeger-LeCoultre. At that time, Jaeger-LeCoultre was also transliterated as ‘Jacques-Le Coulter’ Co., Ltd. instead of the current ‘Jacques’. And its business scope also specifically stated as the production of ‘quality watches and clocks, air pressure clocks (air clocks)’. As the name suggests, Jaeger-LeCoultre is actually a merger of two companies. One is Jaeger and the other is LeCoultre. In 1833, Switzerland’s Antoine LeCoultre invented a clock gear production machine, and then he opened his own small workshop to set up production of movement parts. With the joint efforts of Antoine LeCoultre and his son, the scale of the workshop has become larger and larger. By 1903, Edmond Jaeger of France found the LeCoultre workshop, hoping that LeCoultre could provide him with a movement. Edmond Jaeger later took the movement of the LeCoultre workshop to produce watches for the famous French brand Cartier. To put it simply, it is sub-contracting layer by layer … With the deepening of cooperation, LeCoultre and Jaeger formally merged into one company. The merged Jaeger-LeCoultre continues the watchmaking tradition and specializes in high-end movements. Its products have been used by many companies that are positioned on top of today’s brands, including but not limited to: Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piguet, Lange. …. Today, what I am sharing is an interesting model from Jaeger-LeCoultre-Duomètre à Chronographe two-wing single-button chronograph watch. At first glance, the design of the Duomètre à Chronographe dial is very symmetrical and regular. The left part shows the normal time. The right part shows the two long second hands in the center of the chronograph. At first glance, I thought it was a double chase. It is actually a large second hand and a chronograph second hand. When the chronograph function is reset to zero, the blue chronograph second hand is aligned at the 12 o’clock scale. And at 6 o’clock there is a small dial, here is to display ‘sixth’ seconds. Although there are many positive pointers, we can distinguish them by color. Gold belongs to the hour, blue belongs to the time. At the same time, there is a power reserve display in the lower left and right corners, respectively corresponding to the power reserve time of the two gear trains, each of which is 50 hours. Almost all of our common watches use a ‘single gear train’. The energy is released from the barrel and transmitted to the escapement balance via gears. If you just let the hour, minute and second hands run, this design is enough. However, if we need to add other functions, such as timekeeping and calendar, it will affect the swing of the balance of the watch, which will cause interference in the accuracy of the travel time. At the same time, these additional functions will also consume some energy, reducing the normal power reserve time of the watch. In order to solve this problem, Jaeger-LeCoultre proposed the Dual-Wing design concept. The dual-wing system is divided into ‘two sets of gear trains’: one set shows normal travel time, and the other shows secondary functions. The two sets of mechanical devices share the same escapement balance system, and each has its own independent power source. However, the design concept of ‘two sets of gear trains’ was not first proposed by Jaeger-LeCoultre. What Jaeger-LeCoultre proposed could only be called ‘Dual-Wing’. To put it simply, Jaeger-LeCoultre just took a name ….. and the most common design concept of ‘two sets of gear trains’ is on the minute repeater clock. Minute movements are usually equipped with two barrels, one large and one small. The large one is responsible for the normal travel time, and the small one is responsible for supplying energy to the hammer to hit the gong to make a sound. The two barrels drive different gear trains without disturbing each other. Therefore, for the three questions, even if the balance wheel is stopped, you can start the timekeeping function to make a sound alone. So why don’t other brands make such a ‘two sets of gear trains’? That’s because such a design is too complicated, taking up a lot of space, and the size of the movement cannot be made small. Therefore, this Duomètre à Chronographe has as many as 455 movement parts and a thickness of 6.95 mm. Through the sapphire back, you can clearly see the two side-by-side barrels in the movement. The left one is responsible for the chronograph function, and the right one is responsible for the normal running time. No matter which direction you turn the crown when you wind up, one of the barrels can add energy separately. The check box of the mainspring adopts the internal check mode commonly used in the pocket watch era, which is more expensive and more beautiful. The ‘two sets of wheel trains’ share one escapement balance wheel system. In order to realize the function of one-sixth of a second, a gear is superimposed on the escape wheel for transmitting a fine time interval. The timing function is controlled by a single button, which can be started, paused, and reset to zero with one thumb. It also uses the classic column wheel structure. Initially, Duomètre à Chronographe is a watch with a brand, a dial and a movement. It is interesting and fun. However, in the actual test, an awkward problem was found. Jaeger-LeCoultre proposed the Dual-Wing design concept. The dual-wing system is divided into ‘two sets of gear trains’: one set shows normal travel time, and the other shows secondary functions. The two sets of mechanical devices share the same escapement balance system, and each has its own independent power source. However, after starting the timing function, interference will still occur due to the interaction between different functions. At first, I thought it was because of a problem with this watch. Jaeger-LeCoultre spent so much effort to make this watch, but it still had an impact. So I found another piece of the same model and performed a second test, and found that it was still the same. At the same time, we found another FP Journe watch with the same concept design, two sets of wheels, and a single escapement balance. The final test results are still the same as those of Jaeger-LeCoultre. Therefore, the design of ‘two sets of gear trains and a single escapement balance wheel’ is just like a ‘tourbillon’. It is theoretically great, but in practice it cannot completely solve the problem. Of course, this article is not written so that everyone should not buy this Jaeger-LeCoultre biplane chronograph, but rather want to share the true story behind it. Just like the tourbillon, although it is not as accurate as the basic basic movement in common use, the research and development story behind it, the precise mechanical structure, and the innovative spirit of exploration have attracted many table friends. —END —

What About Citizen Watches? How About Citizen Watches?
About Citizen
Citizen is an internationally renowned watch company. In the world, almost all watch manufacturers have used or are using the Citizen “MIYOTA” movement (2035 is the representative product of Citizen), but Citizen is a huge enterprise The group has a wide range of operations and many branches, which may not be known to everyone.
Citizen’s predecessor was the Japan Shanggongshe Institute of Timepieces. Founded in 1918, it was mainly engaged in the development and manufacture of clocks. In 1924, it produced the first pocket watch. Citizen Timepiece Co., Ltd. was established in May 1930, and was named ‘CITIZEN’ by the then mayor of Tokyo, meaning all citizens of the world.
Just like its name, since its birth, Citizen has always been committed to ‘providing high-end products and high-level services for all citizens around the world’, and hopes to provide products that are ‘loved by citizens and close to citizens’ by providing To contribute to the good life of all mankind.
Citizen firmly believes that the combination of wisdom and sensitivity can benefit humanity. Relying on its own technical advantages in precision processing, measurement technology, energy saving, manufacturing technology and other exquisite designs, Citizen has continuously developed clock and watch products that perfectly reflect the ‘fusion of technology and beauty’.
The fusion of technology and beauty: while showing the right time, the watch also displays fashion and personality, reflecting the wearer’s taste, values and personality. In response to the different needs of consumers, Citizen uses the advanced technology and the delicate and elegant beauty of the oriental tradition to cleverly combine to provide consumers with a variety of watches with ‘fusion of technology and beauty’, adding color to people’s lives. . In terms of style design, there are everything from bold sports models to elegant formal wear models, which are suitable for the needs of consumers of all ages and types.
In early 2010, Citizen (China) Watch & Clock Co., Ltd. announced the formal implementation of single product barcode management. All watches sold at Citizen’s designated sales outlets will be affixed with exclusive single product barcode labels, which is equivalent to bringing an ‘ID’ to each Citizen watch. This is also the first innovation in customer service since Citizen released the ‘True Action’ customer service system in the watch industry in 2008.
How about Citizen watches
Comments from netizens 1: Citizen watches were created by a famous international watch manufacturing company in Japan. They were established in 1930. The Citizen watch has been the top pillar of the Japanese watch industry since 2011, and has repeatedly established the number one in the world-class watch list. The Citizen watch movement is also very famous. Most watch manufacturers around the world have used the movement of the Japanese Citizen watch. The precision of this movement has reached the world’s top level. Citizen watches have created many different styles, suitable for men and women to wear, but as the Citizen watches become more and more famous, so there are more and more imitations. If you want to buy, you must go to a regular mall or from high-end watches Don’t be fooled into buying at a store.
Netizen evaluation 2: The positioning is for young people and white-collar consumers, which can not be compared with Swiss watches, the difference is obvious. Citizen watches have no room for value preservation. For the three major watch factories in Japan, Citizen watches are still quite middle-aged. Some styles are suitable for middle-aged people. The price of Citizen mechanical watches is about 1000-2000. I suggest you pay more for 2000 Tissot ordinary series mechanical watches.
Netizen evaluation three :. nice. . It belongs to the mature and slightly fashionable, and endorsed by Takeshi Kaneshiro, the price is medium among brand-name watches, and it is worth buying. Compared to CASIO single sports wind is much better. . Positioning is for young people and white-collar consumers, which cannot be compared with Swiss watches. The difference is obviously that Citizen watches have no value preservation space. For the three major watch factories in Japan, Citizen watches are still quite middle-aged. . Some styles are perfect for middle age. More and more watches are being bought, it is a symbol, but many people do not know how to choose a watch.
Netizen evaluation 4: Citizen is made in Japan. I brought a piece with me. I bought it at 1800 last year and it has risen to 2100 this year. The quality doesn’t have to be said, very good. It is not recommended to buy quartz watches or light-powered watches. Mechanical watches can be purchased for appreciation.
Netizen evaluation five: Hello, I just got one last month, and the quality is good. At that time, I chose to compare it for a long time, and finally decided to buy one based on various references. It has been used for a while now, and it feels good in both price and performance. At the time, I also saw it on the evaluation webpage recommended by netizens, and the evaluation was still very fair.
Netizen evaluation 6: Despite national emotions, Citizen is still very good, such as light kinetic energy, radio wave watches, etc., the travel time is accurate, it is recommended to go to the shopping mall counter to buy.
Netizen evaluation 7: Very good ~ This brand has the characteristics of Japanese products: it is more practical, the price is not too expensive, and it can satisfy the vanity of people’s brands ~ It is recommended that you buy the current kinetic energy of his house, which is very good ~ If you can choose, Casio’s is also very good ~

Defy El Primero 21 Watch El Primero Star Speed legend Enters The One Hundred Seconds Era
Swiss watchmaker Zenith has gone through a century and a half, and it will resolutely enter the 21st century with its new one-second chronograph movement. The 21st century Defy El Primero watch inherits the roots of legend, while showing outstanding performance: COSC (Swiss official observatory inspection agency) certified self-mainframe-driven central hand to achieve a hundredth of a second display, one rotation per second — Quite dynamic and distinctive. Its double-chain structure is based on two regulators and is made of a carbon-based carbon nanotube composite. This is a new patented material that is insensitive to magnetic fields and temperature gradients, well above existing standards. The Defy El Primero 21 comes with a domineering 44 mm titanium case for extreme precision. In 1969, the world’s most accurate production chronograph entered a new era.
Zenith has become a recognized king of high-frequency chronographs with its traditional El Primero star-speed movement, and today it once again reaches the ultra-high precision watchmaking world with the Defy El Primero 21 watch. From tenths to one hundredth of a second, a huge leap in performance and design has been achieved.
Soaring from 10 to 100
1969: With El Primero (meaning ‘first’ in Esperanto), Zenith adds extraordinary color to the legendary chronograph history: integrated automatic column wheel mechanism with 36,000 vibrations per hour (5 Hertz) Vibration at high frequencies, making it accurate to a tenth of a second of a certified astronomical watch. To date, it is still the world’s most accurate production chronograph. The same gene, but a new record in the new century-Zenith has further improved the performance of the movement. The Defy El Primero 21 displays a hundredth of a second with a central pointer and a vibration frequency of 50 Hz, ten times faster and more accurate than its famous predecessor. Become the first achievement in the new products gathered by the stars.
Precision, speed, and reliability: Today’s Defy El Primero 21 and the 1969 El Primero star speed are the same. The brand has a record 2,333 time-testing awards. The main difference is that the new generation of products has been developed with the aim of industrialization from the beginning. 32 mm in diameter, compared to 30 mm in the previous generation; 7.9 mm thick, compared to 6.50 mm; today includes 203 components, compared to 278 components in 1969. Mechanical functions are more complex, but the number of components is smaller: also in the automotive and aerospace industries, the Defy El Primero 21 is derived from modern engineering technology and uses statistical dimensions to match functional dimensions to machine functions, all designed to ensure simplified assembly and adjustment To achieve the best level of performance and certification.
Therefore, the new watch is equipped with the new El Primero star speed movement, which has higher performance and is equipped with new adjustment mechanism and patented timing control mechanism. This modern movement is COSC-certified and measures one hundredth of a second, demonstrating its ambitious goal: to establish itself as the ‘most accurate timepiece’ brand on the market today. The watch is enriched with modern technology and traditional craftsmanship, combining Zenith’s rich history with cutting-edge clock innovation.
Double reconstruction frame
The central chronograph hand rotates a full circle around the dial in one second, highlighting the aesthetic, visual and auditory characteristics of the new Defy El Primero 21. Reading in hundredths of a second is simple, fast, and direct, giving you a sense of the moment.
The frequency reaches a staggering 360,000 vibrations / hour, ensuring its accuracy of one hundredth of a second, and energy consumption is ten times higher than before.
There is another unique feature whose purpose is to avoid the chronograph function disturbing the smooth operation of the watch. This feature is: Defy El Primero 21 is equipped with two independent ‘gearboxes’: one for displaying time and the other for timing . Each ‘gearbox’ is equipped with its own transmission and escapement, so there is no coupling clutch.
To pay tribute to its historical roots, the balance of the watch oscillates at a high frequency of 5 Hz-the famous and iconic 36,000 vibrations / hour that the El Primero chronograph movement has been famous for since 1969. This self-winding movement is as accurate as ever, certified by COSC, providing a 50-hour power reserve, and with a 50-minute battery life that matches the accuracy of the hundredth of a second.
Hairspring uses carbon-based carbon nanotube composite material (new patented material)
In 1865, the founder of the young and visionary Zenith, Georges Favre-Jacot, brought together the different types of watchmaking that were usually scattered under one roof, creating the industry The first watch factory. Today, this spirit of independence and comprehensive skills is fully reflected in the new El Primero 21 self-moving core with its own patented hairspring. Gravity, temperature, and magnetic fields, all kinds of hostile characteristics that are not incompatible with precision, are completely neutralized.
The new hairspring developed by LVMH Group engineers is derived from a patented technology that is also the world’s first. This hairspring is made of graphene-based composites with extraordinary physical and mechanical properties, so it is insensitive to temperature and magnetic field influences, far exceeding the known 15,000 Gaussian standard, guaranteeing availability under all conditions of use Unparalleled accuracy.
In addition to the integrated structure, double-chain construction and excellent timing performance of the new hairspring, the El Primero 21 movement is also equipped with a patented timing reset control mechanism, consisting of three core components and a unique starter mechanism, ensuring simultaneous reset seconds And tenths and hundredths of a second.
This new generation of dual barrel El Primero star-speed movement drives the central hours and minutes function, a small seconds hand at 9 o’clock, a central chronograph hand with a hundredth of a second rotating around a scale on the circumference, 30 at 3 o’clock Minute chronograph, seconds and tenths of a second at 6 o’clock, and chronograph power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock. The two-position crown (for winding and time setting) can be wound manually in two directions: for the chronograph function, clockwise, for the watch, counterclockwise. Rotating the crown 25 turns is enough to power the timepiece barrel. One-way automatic winding with star-notched automatic rotor / star-shaped skeleton automatic rotor control function.
Iconic ‘hundredth of a second’ display
Defy El Primero 21 is based on modern mechanical technology and has been given unprecedented visual, auditory and dynamic characteristics. It is a model of Zenith’s new generation of chronographs.
It proudly demonstrates the heritage of a watchmaker with a long and professional timekeeping expertise, while incorporating the most cutting-edge breakthrough technology. The essence of this brand can be seen in the stunning design of the watch-the case diameter is 44 mm, made of grade 5 titanium-inspired by the original El Primero model. The case is equipped with a grooved crown and chronograph buttons, and short lugs, alternately matte and satin finish; its rubber watch with leather inlays and double folding clasp.
The hundredth of a second display is designed as follows: the inner bezel is designed with 0 to 100 graduations, and the hundredth of a second chronograph hand sweeps across the inner bezel at a speed of one full revolution per second-quite intuitive and visually striking force.
The hollow dial reflects the elegant contemporary decoration style, which is also the representative aesthetics of Zenith’s new series. Star-shaped sweep seconds hand, large luminous rod-shaped hands and faceted hour markers: all the important identifying characteristics of El Primero are integrated, and the chronograph dial uses the two from the 1969 legendary chronograph Colors — blue and dark gray.
Defy El Primero 21 — a benchmark for authentic Swiss watchmaking, hope for future creativity.
