Vecchio è ancora nuovo come FP Journe Ricrea Groundbreaking Tourbillon Orologio

François-Paul Journe era a Manhattan recentemente come parte di un tour mondiale che celebra i suoi 30 anni come il fondatore e capo orologiaio di FP Journe . Egli è stato anche in città per introdurre la storica Anniversario Tourbillon, una ricreazione della guardia che ha iniziato la sua carriera come orologiaio indipendente.

Il movimento tourbillon

Journe era appena nel suo 20s, quando si mise a fare un orologio complesso interamente a mano. Gli ci sono voluti cinque anni per creare l'orologio da tasca tourbillon, che ha lanciato FP Journe. Trenta anni dopo la società guardare indipendente con sede a Ginevra, in Svizzera, è oggi un marchio internazionale con nove boutique in tutto il mondo, tra Manhattan, dove Journe ha fatto la sua comparsa.

L'orologio da tasca originale creato da François-Paul Journe 30 anni fa.

L'orologio da polso anniversario, limitata a 99 pezzi, è una reinterpretazione del originale orologio da tasca, utilizzando alcuni degli stessi materiali, come ad esempio un caso d'argento guilloché arricchita da due cornici d'oro in oro rosa 4N.

Lo zaffiro trasparente mostra di nuovo il movimento tourbillon di costruzione classico realizzato in ottone grana fine e dorata, identica all'originale del 1983. Due botti parallele distribuire l'energia di un treno ruote, disposte lungo l'asse della guardia, che gestisce il tourbillon girevole in un minuto. Lo scappamento pallet laterale, che è più compatibile con un orologio da polso, sostituisce il scappamento arresto dell'originale, e il tempo di avvolgimento e regolazione con una chiave sono state sostituite dalla corona ore 3.

Realizzato oggi nei laboratori di Ginevra della società, il movimento presenta componenti di alta qualità con la lucidatura moderno, smussatura e tecniche di finitura che non erano disponibili 30 anni fa. Essa comprende una sobrietà e una nobiltà di movimenti tourbillon di prima generazione.

Il movimento è protetto da una copertura posteriore della cassa d'argento guilloché. Il quadrante in argento grana è inciso con i numeri romani pieni e un cerchio orario d'acciaio, identica a tourbillon originale del 1983. Le ore sono indicate da acciaio azzurrato mani Abraham-Louis Breguet, identici a quelli della originale orologio da tasca.vedere di piu replica rolex e replica U-Boat Italo Fontana

Is It Best to Keep a Watch Wound?

Do watch-winders really matter in the life of an automatic watch? Is it best to keep them spinning and running? Or is it best to let them wind-down and be dormant for days and/or weeks?
If you Google these questions, you will find various answers.

Why?

1. It depends on a few variables.
2. No one (that I know of) has directly tested it.

There are no studies comparing identical watches – one stored in a safe vs. one stored on a winder – for a substantial length of time. If there were, the differences would most likely be negligible.
Having said that, I have done extensive research on the topic, and I can make some reasonable recommendations based on the facts.
This also brings to mind the debate on optimal service intervals, but that's an article for another day. Let's stay focused on the question at hand.

Should You Keep Your Watch Wound?

If your watch is relatively new (made in the last 15 years), keeping it wound will not make a noticeable difference in performance or longevity of the movement.
If you have a really old and/or valuable timepiece, and your main concern is preservation of the movement, then storing it and winding once every few months is ideal.
“Watches don't need to be kept wound all the time, but dormant watches in storage should be wound each few months ideally in order to prevent oils from stiffening.” – Arial Adams, Founder of ablogtowatch.com

Synthetic Oils

Movements properly lubricated with modern-day synthetic oils should not stiffen. Also, the oils are not likely to move due to capillary action ; however, they will eventually dry up.
“…the synthetic oils will dissipate, and leave the parts dry, but this happens regardless of whether the movement is running – it's really just a matter of time.” – Shane Griffin, founding member of Wound For Life – Opinion: Do I Need a Watch Winder?

Over-Winding

Automatic
You cannot over-wind a spring-driven automatic watch due to the preventative slipping mainspring. You can thank Patek Philippe for that.
“On June 16, 1863 Adrien Philippe is accorded Patent No. 58941 for the “slipping” mainspring. This invention allows simultaneous winding of two or more mainspring barrels, a technique which is the foundation for all further development of self-winding systems in wristwatches.” – Patek Philippe History – Collecting Watches
Sometimes an automatic watch will stop running at full wind, but this is because of a dirty movement, defect, lack of oil, or other damage.
“Watch movements, in particular, require regular cleaning and lubrication, and the normal result of neglecting to get a watch cleaned is a watch stopped at full wind.” – The myth of 'overwinding' – Wikipedia
Manual
It's almost unheard of for a traditional manually wound watch to have a slipping mainspring. This means that they can be damaged if wound too tightly. Occasionally, some manual watches with power reserve indications will have slipping mainsprings. To be safe, stop winding if you feel extra tension.

Tired Mainsprings

“After decades of use, mainsprings in older timepieces are found to deform slightly and lose some of their force, becoming 'tired' or 'set'.” – 'Tired' or 'set' mainsprings – Wikipedia
This is hardly a reason to keep a modern watch un-wound, but it might be a consideration in an extremely valuable vintage timepiece. For example, Albert Einstein's watch , sold at auction in 2008 for $596,000.
Also, some would argue that the mainspring is not crucial for originality. Much like replacing the tires on a car, replacing the mainspring can help maintain original performance (without impeding other functions).

Wear and Tear

Damage due to use is real (shock, wear on screw down crown threading, magnetism, exposure to water etc.). But if you buy a well made modern watch, and you're not cage fighting with it, the movement should be fine. It was made to run and stop, without doing damage.

Practicality

At the end of the day, it comes down to your needs. If you have an expensive perpetual calendar, a watch winder makes sense in terms of convenience; and you're not doing any damage to the movement by keeping it wound.
Conversely, if you have a valuable watch that you would rather protect than wear, storing it and winding every few months is your best bet. vedere di piu swiss replica e Breitling Chrono Avenger
