Fashion Zone Report: Today, there are many big Jumping seconds work was available: Rolex 1040 movement configuration Tru-Beat, Audemars Piguet launched in 2007, configurations 2905 series of dance-type movement of the second millennium watches, Omega introduced in the late 50's The Synchro-Beat, Longines launched Jumping of 100 per minute Minute Decimale, Panerai Independent PAM00080 configuration Chezard movement and the introduction of configuration Chezard7400 Doxa Jumpinging seconds movement watches.

Many people have such a bias exists, that see the "Jumping seconds " in the form of watches, they shouted as "quartz watch." This can be seen as the sixties and seventies of last century by the "quartz crisis" profound impact on the watch can also be considered a lack of understanding of history. In fact, the "Jumping seconds" Jumping second display is not a "quartz watch," the original, back in the 70s of last century before the advent of quartz technology, the field of mechanical watchmaking already occurred is called "step-second hand" in travel time structure. According to historical records, first produced in 1850 left - Secret mechanical watch Jumping right in the second show, they have found the figure Jumping second-type movement. Subsequently, the second hand move around this unique way and entered the Chinese market in Switzerland, the "big eight" frequently appeared in the pocket.

Jumping seconds device in the first place, from the old pendulum. 17th century invention of the pendulum, so that people measured for the first time accurate to seconds.

There is a configuration in early 1040 Rolex automatic movement watch Jumping second show named "Tru-Beat", also implies this meaning. Compared with the smooth-type second hand, "second Jumping" Jumping second display more dynamic pace, but also more rich in mechanical sensitivity.

"Hertz" the origin

Hertz (usually abbreviated Hz) is a recording unit of time (eg 1 second) within the arc-shaped object in the number of physical quantities swing, usually expressed in a swatch cyclical phenomenon. Hertz Hertz's English name comes from a great scientist Heinrich - Hertz.
