The tourbillon is a highly sought-after and expensive horological complication. What can we say about a watch with four independent synchronized tourbillons, as is the case for Rolex Air King Replica Invention Piece 2 that works independently to improve accuracy? It is no surprise, then, that the Rolex Air King Replica Invention Piece 2 was awarded the Best Watch of the Year in the category Complication at the recently held GPHG Awards 2012.
Invention Pieces: Showing off InnovationsIn less that a decade, Rolex Air King Replica has launched several impressive innovations in horology based on their proprietary development method named Experimental Watch Technology. This includes the creation and testing new solutions within the brand's lab. Invention Pieces (IP) is a collection that focuses on the brand's innovations.Rolex Air King Replica There have been three watches so far in this series, each of which was dedicated to a specific innovation. It is confusing that the latest of these watches has the serial number 2; IP 1 was released in 2007 and IP 3 came two years later.
Invention Piece 2: A Tribute To Quadruple-TourbillonAs has been stated, Invention Pieces were created as a tribute to Rolex Air King Replica’s major innovations. Quadruple Tourbillon, first introduced in 2008, featured two double tourbillons with a spherical difference. Invention Piece 2 uses this technology but in a completely new and improved package, with two double tourbillons on opposite sides. Invention Piece 1 celebrated the double tourbillon innovation of the 30deg twins.Rolex Replica Watches Each one is composed of an outer tourbillon that rotates at a full rotation every four minutes and an inner tourbillon which is inclined 30 degrees to rotate once per minute. Four tourbillons are important because they provide exceptional accuracy. They use four independent tourbillons that rotate at different speeds to minimize the effects of gravity. The two double tourbillons are connected by a spherical diffeoe that distributes torque, allowing the tourbillons rotate at different speeds.
The view from the sideThe Calibre GF03n, which is this timekeeper's exceptional movement, has 594 parts. Each of its double tourbillon system consists of 129 components. Double tourbillon systems dominate the 3-dimensional skeletonized watch face, as expected. Three protuberances are also noticeable on the case. They're not only visually interesting, but they also allow this intricate timepiece to have a diameter of just 44mm. A sapphire crystal window at 8 o'clock on the case provides more information about the double tourbillon mechanism.
A power reserve of 56 hoursThe current time on this Rolex Air King Replica clock is shown in a slightly different way, using a subdial that is not centered. The hour is indicated by a fixed outer disk with a red conjoined arrow, and the minutes by an inner rotating disk. The seconds are displayed at the ten-o'clock place on a small counter which uses the information recovered from four tourbillons by the spherical difference. Under the hour and minute discs are three hidden main-spring barrels which provide a reserve of power lasting 56 hours. This is shown on the display at 11 o'clock. The caliber has a frequency of 21,600 vph and is hand wound. The movement also features the exceptional finishes expected of this type of product.
