Fashion Watch News Report: Germany, whether industrial or small craft products, quality is very compelling. Many people have wondered in thought, they have a secret weapon? The German watch, this is serious cast of the wonderful world of mechanical watches prove to the world, as long as a little harsh on themselves, can transcend all, a real heroes.
German watch is rigorous wonderful cast of the mechanical watch industry
I recently visited Germany again in-depth look into the watch factory that surprised by all the stunts. The answer is simple and remember the dragon kung fu panda Tips for it? Awa open admirer of the long-Tips can see is their own, at that time it has not had any so-called secrets. Therefore, a little harsh on their own, can transcend all, a real heroes.
Just getting started with the German mechanical watch when they found them with other European countries, particularly major powers Swiss watches watch a lot of different works. Whether or pocket watch, full of every corner of the German style of the strong to make them look different: half of the movement across the large 3 / 4 of the German silver plates, exposed the big drum (watch over the period general), full of soul and passion of the plywood carved, and that whole movement of the sleeve reveals the distinguished gold gem. In short, the German mechanical industry watch is wonderful, a rare achievement is not replicable.
Best reflect the style of German watchmaking is full of mystery and elegance of the carving process of the
5 years ago with one another in Dresden, and now I once again set foot on this land. The outskirts of the town of Glashütte in Dresden is the birthplace of a very traditional German watchmaking, several centuries have not much has changed, even the factory address.
Lange watch movement watch as the building appreciate a perfect
Of course, the modern watch industry in the introduction of CNC machine tools to CNC watch factory output has been significantly improved. Watchmaker that enough time alone with the sunlight, to produce parts from start to finish with both hands alone days are gone. Lange watch factory in the bottom, we see the use of large-scale plywood milling machine and substrate steps, also observed the use of tungsten wire placed in a plywood substrate etching process, said master watch plant, although they rely on machines to complete , but the factory was set up a final quality control manual. For each of the parts off the assembly line and quality inspection departments to standardize data to various parts of the specification, which will be counted as one beyond the standard retirement. QC in charge of introduction: "Our standard is fully consistent with results of numerical precision, rather than the scope of content in a range of error tolerance parts. The only way to ensure that each component in line with the stringent requirements of Lange, then to into the manual stage, that is the best embodies the charm of the realm of Lange. "
Modified according to the highest standards Lange Tourbillon framework
Best reflect the style of German watchmaking is full of mystery and noble carving, and because each piece is so unique, irreplaceable.
In the manual processing of the part, I was invited to join the "watchmaker training courses" to explore the story behind its beautiful: even the smallest part of a grinding division also kept in the equipment to do the "8" shaped loop, until the smooth metal surface like a mirror. Of course, these steps Tourbillon the complex structure of the framework that is dwarfed compared to the light frame of a tourbillon is necessary to polish the legend 2 days. Who taught me skills polished technician has been 7 years polishing factory division, the patience of the Germans is that I admire. Learned from their mouths: "If the watch in order to complete a masterpiece such as Lange, technologies and tools is not enough alone, the most important thing is to uphold and patience." This spirit runs through the Lange watch factory has, in any corner meticulous. Especially plywood sculpture workshop, carved Chinese plywood is the best parts of traditional direct manifestation of Germany, where the five masters, like photos or postcards to be printed as a brochure of the brand. Carving is a very subjective process, each sculptor can not produce the same two works, let alone to operate different people! Sculpture department of the five master is a watch factory thousands of miles to pick candidates, although the birth of the works of their hands can not be identical, but each piece is definitely the essence of technology to show Lange.
As Lange uphold and abide by the same values, each one can be handed down Lange watch is a masterpiece, no doubt, as the fans have any form, such as beads as something precious, usually be firmly locked in the safe, Wear gloves will carefully take it out, especially for the super-sophisticated style. So, can you imagine a subtlety in the timing and returned two complex set of features a calendar, it is 18 years ago to return to the watch Lange altar watch since the production of one of the most complicated watch is a masterpiece. Some people are either dig or hoe in the garden at home, laying wood floors in the living room, this watch will not come off it? Crazy! However, their job is to find out how much this watch can withstand the wear and tear, it is how strong and swatch parts, and you do not need to do some of the time, it can still maintain accuracy. The company structure, the laboratory attached to the product development department, which is serving the industry's best watchmakers. They like to "trouble", good at logical thinking and physical understanding, each Lange watch factory are well aware of a watch.
They try everything to make every watch a Lange suffered "destruction", who pass the test successfully in order to achieve practical examination product Lange. For example, let DATOGRAPH perpetual calendar watch from a meter at the fall. Although this distance is not high, but watch the body, the parts must withstand the weight of higher than 5,000 times its own sudden momentum. In other words, weighing only 1 gram of a part into a twinkling of an eye, "weight" 5 kg, and this weight must shore. In accuracy, the laboratory balance wheel vibration using laser measuring the frequency and amplitude. With this method, during the construction phase can be adjusted to the balance wheel and hairspring perfect, the accuracy of the modern sophisticated watch unrivaled. In addition there are many, including temperature test, impact test and so on.
"We spent three months or six months to get a A.Lange & Sohne watch, and then we will dismantle it completely and re-assembly" In order to look carefully, testing each component and the coordinating role of the various components, Lange Every one watch factory works are undergoing this procedure.
No matter how much you've seen or books on Lange's introduction, not as the actual possession of a Lange watch surprises even more strongly. Lange, one can not be engraved pure art!
