史上最平易近人的陀飞轮表
TOURBILLON, MORE APPROACHABLE THAN EVER
As its R&D DSirector Guy Sémon said, TAG Heuer targets young people who appreciatethe avant-garde. And TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer-01 is undoubtedly the best choice for this group of people. It combines the two most popular and complex devices in traditional watch-making industry - it is an automatic chronograph combined with a titanium and carbon fl ying tourbillon.
Made from grade fi ve titanium - lightweight and more shock-resistant - it uses a different form of construction with 12 modular components. This design opens up a huge range of possibilities, with an inf i nite combination of materials, colours, treatments and fi nishes.This assembly is complemented by a black alligator strap sewn onto rubber, ensuring it boasts TAG Heuer's signature ref i ned, yet sporty look. It's also waterproof to 100 metres.
At 4 Hz, and 28,800 vibrations/hour, the main technical challenge was to house a single barrel, the chronograph functions, the automatic winding mechanism and the fl ying tourbillon within a diameter of 32 mm, whilst ensuring the counters were well spaced to create a modern, balanced look.
When asked how TAG Heuer managed to bring out this accessible luxury, Sémon said: “We have good mastery of the industrial processes and manufacturing costs.”
At the end of the interview, Sémongave a Mona Lisa smile and said: “This June, TAG Heuer is going to bring out its new invention, which is def i nitely going to amaze the market again.”
正如Sémon先生所说,豪雅的主要受众群体是前卫而有品位的年轻人。今年推出的新款泰格豪雅卡莱拉Heuer-02T再一次彻底满足了这个群体的择表条件。它融合了传统制表领域最知名的两种复杂装置:悦目的陀飞轮装置和精准的计时装置,却有着比所有瑞士品牌的陀飞轮手表都要平易近人的定价。
此款腕表制造最大的技术挑战是如何在4赫兹和28,800振次/小时的频率下,将单发条盒、多种计时功能、自动上弦装置以及浮动式陀飞轮全部容纳于直径仅32毫米表壳内的同时保证各个计时盘的合理布局,以赋予腕表时尚、具有平衡美感的外观。
卡莱拉Heuer-02T此款机芯由5级钛合金制成,材质轻盈,防震性能更强。黑色鳄鱼皮表带内衬天然橡胶,防水深度可达100米。
当被问到这个突破是如何实现的时候,研发总监Sémon如是说:“这款手表之所以能脱颖而出,得益于豪雅精湛的制造技艺和对工业流程和制造成本的完美把控。”
说罢,他自豪而神秘地笑了:“今年6月,豪雅还将推出一款研发新品,必将震撼高级制表界。”
泰格豪雅这次又将如何打破常规,让我们拭目以待。
