What are the differences between the world's 59360 and 89360 Chronograph movements?

[home of watches]

Watch the clock [technology] This matter should not be delayed. straight into the topic. I want to discuss a small technical problem with you today. Although the technical problems may seem less obscure than the discussion of the watch trade, please be assured that the article is not long.

Because, not long ago, I transferred a Portuguese Jones arrow, which kept me focused on Wan Guoshen. I then found that 59360 nations and the 89360 chronograph movement chronograph movement, although all nations own movement, has adopted two kinds of different tectonic movement time, especially some of the characteristics of the 59360 make people feel very interesting.

The self timing automatic winding core 89360, the 89360 series has been upgraded to 89365, the use of ceramic winding pawl.

The production manual Chronograph timing core 59360, while this movement will be the protagonist.

At present, 3 Chronograph movements are used mainly in the chronometer of the nations. One is mainly used in Portugal, pilot timing timing, Portofino Chronograph on 79350 (79000 Series) self winding chronograph movement. As we all know, this is the 7750 core pieces of outsourcing based on time movement, practical, low price, so let's fly, the Portuguese meter popular; the second is mainly used in the IWC Portuguese elite, yacht pilot top gun time on the 89360 (89365 Series) from the universal automatic winding chronograph movement, this movement is universal at present, the main production time movement; the third is to use the protofino 8 chain single button Chronograph on all 59360 production manual winding chronograph movement. In the 3 movement, the universal entry timer is swept by the 79350 (79000 Series), and the 89360 series and the 59360 series are used only on the world's high-end chronograph.

IWC Portofino IWC use single button 59360 manual winding chronograph movement chronograph.

The 59360 is universal in 2015 launched a new manual winding chronograph movement. The machine core has just launched, we can easily be a movement as a universal 89360 automatic winding movement "manual version", I remember, while this movement is in the year of the Hongkong watch and Watch Fair on the first miracle in the world, the use of Portofino Chronograph on a single button. When I was in the more in-depth understanding of the structure of the 59360 movement, I realized that all 59360 and 89360 have nothing in the same place, if not to say something in common, that is they are the core splint under the banner of "IWC" logo, only this.

First of all, let's take a look at the core part of the timing movement, the clutch device.

We all know the main automatik timer core 89360 series using a vertical clutch, which is the mainstream configuration of modern timing movement. But the 59360 manual winding chronograph movement does not use vertical clutch, 59360 using a swing gear clutch (clutch is like 7750 core, 1887 core TAG Heuer). Why is that?

Swing gear clutch universal 59360 manual winding movement, we can see its location and details.

The 59360 movement uses oscillating gears for two reasons. First, the universal protofino single button chronograph movement using 59360 hour time without disk, so the minute and second hand gear timing gear is directly connected, universal use of layout of the most direct timing gear train; second, because the 89360 series is the integration time movement, time 89360 series core part (timing gear) and connected the main spring movement directly, the start timing function, timing function 89360 series of movement directly powered by clockwork. Based on the structure of integral timing, the 89360 series uses vertical clutch. But the universal 59360 chronograph movement is actually a modular timing movement. The timing module is not directly connected with the movement spring, and the timing module is only connected with the time wheel of the movement of the machine. Therefore, it is the most direct way to use the oscillating gear to directly connect the timing module to the second wheel.

The 89360 part time automatic winding chronograph movement, we can see the vertical double clutch gear. Totally different from 59360.

So we can see clearly that the universal 59360 manual timing movement and the 89360 series automatic timing movement are completely different in the basic structure of the movement. 59360 is a modular timing movement. We can know the number according to the movement, 59360 manual winding chronograph movement, is the timing module is mounted on the base of 59000 nations series manual winding movement. And the 89360 series timing movement is the universal dedicated integration timing movement, the use of modern timing movement of the standard configuration, cylindrical wheel plus vertical clutch. The difference between 59360 and 89360 is not only a manual winding is a basic structure of automatic winding, but two chronograph movement is completely different. From this we can see that the vertical clutch is only used in the integration of timing movement. The modular timing movement will use oscillating gear or horizontal clutch.

Another interesting part of the universal 59360 chronograph movement is the timing of the turn round.

As we know, a chronograph minute, hour time disk has two operating modes, one is instantaneous; a continuous operation, all 59360 chronograph movement is instantaneous jump, and universal gear deliberately in minutes to open a small mouth, so that we can see the minute gear instantaneous trip mechanism. When we look closely, we can see that there is a thin spring on the timing gear of the 59360 movement. This is the instantaneous jump spring for the minute movement of the movement. Each minute, the reed releases the gear once, and the minute pointer on the disk jumps to the next minute. This part of the world is concealed by all the nations. It is hard to find out if they do not pay attention to it. And some of the traditional timing movement, will be instantaneous jump mechanism is very conspicuous, used to highlight their Chronograph pointer instantaneous jump function.

The 59360 manual winding chronograph movement Chronograph minute unlocking mechanism, we can see from the view, small reed gears.

Also, as with the 59000 series of movement of nations, the actual power 59360 chronograph movement for more than 8 days, but on the eighth day, there will be a spring pressure on the balance wheel to wheel automatic stop, stop operation manual. Ensure that within 8 days, the movement is always in a good range of power. Prevent the power of the end, winding low torque, resulting in a significant decline in travel time precision.

I must say that the watch with this 59360 movement is an expensive watch. IWC Portofino single button chronograph, 18K Gold watchcase, rose gold shell price more than 170 thousand, need to add 10 thousand platinum. The player who buys this watch is destined to be very few, but that doesn't prevent us from getting to know the interesting movement. (picture / text, home of Yan Danping)
