Structural interpretation of the new rules of the calendar watch

Watches evolved over the centuries, first disk of only 2-3 indicators. People often satisfied when they began to reflect whether the pointer to the need to increase? Means to add additional features, the first watchmaker who is from the "calendar" began to add. As the situation develops, the calendar has evolved different clans.

Digital watches

In ancient Egypt, the Nile flood every time interval of about 365 days. It also found that the morning one day each year in June, when the tide came to the Nile near Cairo today, Sirius and the sun also rises from the horizon. This as far as the ancient Egyptians Bianba year as 365 days, while the Sirius and the sun also rises from the horizon the day as the starting point of the year. Divided the year into 12 months, 30 days per month, plus 5 days for year-end holidays, which is the solar calendar of Egypt - the first human calendar. Although later than Caesar's, "Julian calendar", the Roman Pope's "Gregorian Calendar", the sun calendar seems flawed, even ridiculous, but that at a minimum stones than those who squatted next to children Road is zoned Road, another child of the ancients improved a lot.

Based on calendar days, twice a day is the sun exposure to the object without a shadow of that time. Historically, the calendar shows early in the 16th century appeared in the linked watch, and to the 19th century, modern mechanical watches and shaped form, based on this level, race calendar campaign was started to multiply like pointer calendar, returning to the calendar , Windows Calendar, a large window without the visual gap between the calendar and so on. Each had a different impact on the internal mechanical structure the appearance of the calendar form, the more top of the calendar used by the more elegant movement, process more complex.

Is a pointer early in the calendar world clock, after all, to balance the disk was suddenly break their pattern of the window was unimaginable. As the Windows-style calendar display in the manufacturing more difficult, so 70 years until the 20th century, as industrial technology, Windows-style calendar was popularized. Windows Calendar and calendar function pointers the same, but there are big visual difference. Particularly complex paragraph pointer watch calendar, they seem complex and structured. In contrast, Windows Calendar is more intuitive, and more logical pointer calendar.

Pointer to the calendar directly to the number imprinted on the disk, by moving the pointer one cell every 24 hours to count, is very much based technology. As the disk limitations, the figures from the dense identify the date of the day It is not a comforwatch thing to the eye. In recent years many of the brand will expand to the outer radius of the calendar plate to ensure clear and easy to read, and spawned an innovative class of technology - flight back to style the calendar. It is no longer behave in cruising children, instead of using the beautiful fan-shaped disk, at the end of the last minute to start jumping moment.

Windows Calendar is a pointer to the calendar of the most powerful rival, as in all the calendar, the most simple is the Windows calendar style. It relies mainly on mechanical body movement of the rotating outer ring to change the calendar date window. Early use of gradual change, often referred to 9 pm to 3:00 can not adjust the date, because it was state of the internal gears are meshing. Although we can not simply determine the type of movement through the calendar fine, but it does the big brands will choose instantaneous hop calendar, the calendar does not adjust the blind instantaneous jump, also without fear of dangerous moment restrictions. It uses an eccentric cam and a flat perforated ruby with, aside from the top of the calendar body. Nearly 24-hour rotating it one step shy away from the edge, in the 23:59:59 that moment, Ruby picks slipped to some of the cam depression, transient decline also struck a date.

In the era of the calendar window, there are two brands which have different contributions. First, the Rolex calendar watch has 2.5 times the magnifying glass to enhance the identification of the wearer a chance to fully reflect the focus on practical and humane design. More important is it to achieve a real sense of "instantaneous jump," many watch fans and even Rolex precision as a measure of instantaneous jump the standards of other watches. Secondly, the product family watch in 1967 invented the "fast dial calendar institution" and patented. This mechanical structure can be fixed by the crown pulled stalls, so time to round off the calendar associated with the wheel, so that it can adjust the calendar alone. This point, completely breaking the bottleneck of the calendar window, enjoy the convenience of fast notes.

Calendar largest "big Windows Calendar", which is the most popular display modes. Tai Chi Bo watch from the calendar first invented in 1930, for various reasons, until 1994 the brand in Germany, Lange has been carried forward under the command of the opportunity. Since then, the design of large wind fan calendar time, all of the luxury brand have imitated. Watch Lange introduced the world's first large calendar only mature technology watch, light from the uproar in the industry immediately. Lange's great inspiration for the calendar is not accidental, as early as 1841, Lange's father and teacher, founder of Mr. Gutkaes created a 5 minute hop character, which is recognized as a large calendar of modern source of inspiration. 1950 was to try to 10-digit numbers and two separate disk drive to expand the size of the calendar, unfortunately, was produced by the movement of technical conditions have compelled people to give up heavy. Technology mature Lange large calendar were marked in the two wheel 1 to 3 (10 digits), 0 to 9 (digits), when the date of operation to 31 bits roulette need more to stay 24 hours ( 31, 1, share a single digit), only 10 number plate to the space only, which is a large calendar of technical difficulties. Great calendar of different brands there is a big difference between the first two calendar there is no visual gap between the plate, followed by two disc jump at the end of the harmonization of the time, but these have been the end of the last possible moment identify strengths and weaknesses.

From this, the calendar is not just a figure will jump, rally behind a watchmaker great energy, and evolution as the calendar and create a new mechanical structure.
