JEAN-MAIRET & GILLMAN CONTINENTES This square Continentes offers three retrograde hands and depicts time in three sections of the world: the Americas, Asia/Pacific and Europe/Africa. The mother-of-pearl dial of the watch has a world map decoration to indicate the three zones. Crafted in 18-karat rose gold, the watch houses the automatic JMG 3101TR/1153 caliber with 40 jewels, and is equipped with a 24-karat gold hand-decorated rotor.
JEAN-MAIRET & GILLMAN HORA MUNDI From the Around the World Collection, this Hora Mundi watch is crafted in stainless steel and houses the mechanical JMG 1999 self-winding movement. The Replica IWC Portuguese watch offers 44 hours of power reserve, hours, minutes, seconds, date, alarm function and a world-time function via a disk. The Ø 41mm case is water resistant to 3atm. The black dial is accented with a silver cities zone and the watch is fitted with a sapphire caseback. VULCAIN IMPERIAL GONG Imperial Gong combines a flying tourbillon with a mechanical alarm mechanism. Glossary ACCURACY s. Precision ALARM WATCH A watch provided with a movement capable of releasing an acoustic sound at the time set. A second crown is dedicated to the winding, setting and release of the striking-work; an additional center hand indicates the time set. The Replica Breitling Avenger section of the movement dedicated to the alarm device is made up by a series of wheels linked with the barrel, an escapement and a hammer (s.) striking a gong (s.) or bell (s.). Works much like a normal alarm clock. AMPLITUDE Maximum angle by which a balance or pendulum wings from its rest position. ANALOG or ANALOGUE A watch displaying time indications by means of hands. ANTIMAGNETIC Said of a watch whose movement is not influenced by electromagnetic fields that could cause two or more windings of the balance-spring to stick to each other, consequently accelerating the rate of the watch. This Replica IWC Pilot effect is obtained by adopting metal alloys (e.g. Nivarox) resisting magnetization. ANTIREFLECTION, ANTIREFLECTIVE Superficial glass treatment assuring the dispersion of reflected light. Better results are obtained if both sides are treated, but in order to avoid scratches on the upper layer, the treatment of the inner surface is preferred. ARBOR Bearing element of a gear (s.) or balance, whose ends-called pivots (s.)-run in jewel (s.) holes or brass bushings. AUTOMATIC (image 2) A watch whose mechanical movement (s.) is wound auto-matically. A rotor makes short oscillations due to the Replica Cartier Pasha movements of the wrist. Through a series of gears, oscillations transmit motion to the barrel (s.), thus winding the mainspring progressively. AUTOMATON Figures, placed on the dial or case of watches,cartier love ring yellow gold, provided with parts of the body or other elements moving at the same time as the sonnerie (s.) strikes. The moving parts are linked,cartier love bracelet white gold diamonds, through an aperture on the dial or caseback, with the sonnerie hammers (s.) striking a gong. BALANCE Oscillating device that, together with the balance spring (s.), makes up the movement's heart inasmuch as its oscillations deter- mine the frequency of its functioning and precision. BALANCE SPRING Component of the regulating organ (s.) that, together with the balance (s.), determines the movement's precision.
The material used is mostly a steel alloy (e.g. Nivarox, s.), an extremely stable metal compound. In order to prevent the system's center of gravity from continuous shifts, hence differences in rate due to the watch's position, some modifications were adopted. These modifications included Breguet's overcoil (closing the Replica Cartier Roadster terminal part of the spring partly on itself, so as to assure an almost perfect centering) and Philips curve (helping to eliminate the lateral pressure of the balance-staff pivots against their bearings). Today, thanks to the quality of materials, it is possible to assure an excellent precision of movement working even with a flat spring. BARREL Component of the movement containing the mainspring (s.), whose toothed rim meshes with the pinion of the first gear of the train (s.). Due to the fact that the whole-made up of barrel and mainspring- transmits the motive force, it is also considered to be the very motor.
Inside the barrel, the mainspring is wound around an arbor(s.) turned by the winding crown or, in the case of automatic movements, also by the gear powered by the rotor (s.). BEARING Part on which a pivot turns, in watches mostly a jewels (s.). BEVELING Chamfering of edges of levers, bridges and other elements of a movement by 45¥, a treatment typically found in high-grade movements. BEZEL Top part of case (s.), sometimes holds the crystal. It may be integrated with the Replica Cartier Tank case middle (s.) or a separate element. It is snapped or screwed on to the middle. BOTTOM PLATE s. Pillar-plate BRACELET A metal band attached to the case. It is called integral if there is no apparent discontinuity between case and bracelet and the profile of attachments is similar to the first link.
