onzenuub 307 Posted July 8, 2009 From Hungary this tourbillon watch: PRIMUS, the first BEXEI tourbillon wrist watch has an extremely complicated and unique movement. Respecting traditional watchmaking Aaron invented the three axis tourbillion movement where the 3rd (external) cage's unique form provides the possibility of using jewel bearings everywhere - instead of ball-bearings. This is a unique solution at this size and level of complication. (Patent pending.) This wristwatch also has an incomparable engraved dial. DETAILS case width: 38mm case height (diameter): 46mm case depth: 17,9mm band width: 22mm duration: 40 hours weight of the tourbillon system: 1,5 g 1st (inner) tourbillion cage turns around in: 0,5 min 2 nd (middle) tourbillion cage turns around in: 2,5 min 3 rd (outer) tourbillion cage turns around in: 12,5 min the balance wheel takes 3750 different positions in 12,5 min. COMPLICATIONS tri-axial tourbillon with jewel bearings wind up indicator hour/minute/second indication OTHER DETAILS hand engraved dial-base gold applied dials gold wheels 18K white gold case 18K white gold buckle diamond end-stones http://www.bexei.hu/primus_2_en.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AustinTech 0 Posted July 9, 2009 Good God, that is cool! I am convinced that watchmakers have actually invented the "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" laser-ray and shrink themselves and a bunch of parts in order to put this kinda thing together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
