subject: Guci Chronograph 1887 watch story [print this page] TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph 1887 gucci men's watches summarizes perfectly the rule of TAG Heuer in the manufacture of mechanical movements and watch cases. The main parts of the movement that animates (platinum plank bridges and oscillating weight), and its box are produced internally by TAG Heuer in its plant in Cornol Cortech (Jura).
These workshops at the cutting edge are equipped with machines and robots Swiss avant-garde capable of stamping, milling and finishing the pieces with a precision of one micron. Cortech also hosts the Swiss first robot able to automatically select and crimp the 39 stones of Calibre 1887. This breakthrough in modern engineering can produce a movement worthy of a great "Factory" at very competitive - in full compliance of the famous philosophy of "fair cost / fair price" for TAG Heuer.
The Calibre 1887 is an integrated platform chronograph movement column wheel / gear ranging from advanced technology. It was developed from elements in the intellectual property of Seiko Instruments Inc. (SII), which has designed and patented under the name of TC78 in 1997/99, as well as winning one of the newest buildings in the world of chronographs peak (most of which date back to the 1970s or early 1980s).
After acquiring the intellectual property rights with IBS, TAG Heuer gucci twirl watches has devoted the last three years rebuilding and redevelopment of key components such as bridges of the set and the deck, and to make adjustments and technical changes including a major system to allow adjustment of eccentric position of the oscillating pinion (originally patented by Edouard Heuer in 1887).
TAG Heuer has also partnered with 22 manufacturers of quality components (including 21 Swiss) to redevelop other major components such as the set, the shock absorbers and the elements of whiplash.
Final assembly is performed on a semi-automated line in a brand new dedicated workshop within the factory TAG Heuer gucci diamond watches in La Chaux-de-Fonds (Neuchtel), under conditions out dust and fully sealed. The traceability of each movement, subject to 116 measurement sequences under stringent quality control is ensured by high-performance software. Stations are fully automated, customized by a Swiss machinery T0 and T1, alternate with those requiring manual intervention specialists, watchmakers TAG Heuer and remain master of the whole process.
The Calibre 1887 inaugurated a new generation of mechanical chronograph movements, high quality and manufactured in Switzerland. More than 20 million Swiss francs have been invested in the sites Cornol and La Chaux-de-Fonds 50 direct jobs have been created as well as many other local partners in TAG Heuer in Switzerland. This ambitious and daring project will eventually produce more term tens of thousands of movements per year.
With 28,800 oscillations per hour, the Calibre 1887 is composed of 320 components and 39 stones to a size of 29.3 mm x 7.13 mm. It has a power reserve of 50 hours. "Engine" strong, robust and easy to maintain, it also contains a revamped version of the oscillating pinion boldly, his source of inspiration patented brand in 1887, with a column wheel.
The oscillating pinion, patented in 1887 by Edouard Heuer, works in tandem with the column wheel, like a car transmission system.
The column wheel, which coordinates the functions start, stop and reset the chronograph hands, works on the principle of a gearbox. The gentleness and precision engagement of its push-button is the expression of excellence in gucci twirl women's watches making high-end.
The gear works like a clutch swing. The optimized version of Calibre 1887 allows the chronograph to engage in less 2/1000e second. The Calibre 1887 is also equipped with a HER (High Efficiency Rewinding) is known among experts as the clock winding device more efficient in the world.
In fact, its automatic duplex delivers a power of 30% higher than the inversion system used in most traditional of Swiss chronographs. The HER is also renowned for its reliability and robustness.
