Patek Philippe Unique Watch: 10 Day Tourbillion
Making the Best even Better
The connoisseurs of the Patek Philippe watches were excited by the appearance of the new 10 Days Tourbillion watch. This is the first mechanical tourbillion watch with a ten days' power reserve. It is based on the Caliber 28-20/220, which initially was presented with the 10-days watch from Patek Philippe, which was the first wrist Chronometer with manual winding with a 10 days' power reserve, which actually has no analogues until present days.
With the 10 Days Tourbillion Patek Philippe has found itself one step further from other watch-making companies, thus proving once again, that they deserve to be on the top among the best watchmakers.
Changes and Innovations
As already mentioned this watch is the first tourbillion watch with a 10 days' power reserve. But did you know how much time and effort it required developing this wonder of watch engineering? Actually, not less than three long years.
During these three years the watch engineers have spent most of the time developing a brand new tourbillion, which was placed nearer to the dials side so that the tourbillion itself would be better seen. The case back of the watch is made of sapphire-crystal, so that the wearer can see the heart beating of his unique watch.
Due to the two new complications, this watch is considered to be a masterpiece, as these complications require rather much space in a compound room. However, the watchmakers have put 2 mainspring barrels for the power reserve and a tourbillion into a small watch case.
Revolutionary Power Reserve Mechanism
The two barrels mentioned above are the main pace-keepers of the watch. Since it was extremely difficult to build such a watch with this astounding power reserve, the watchmakers have calculated the size of these two barrels scrupulously so it would pass into the case and would provide the maximum of energy available. In order to bring up this energy both mainspring barrels are wound simultaneously. The first barrel is equipped with a system containing a slipping bridle, which prevents both mainsprings from being overwound and disengages the barrels when they have reached their wounding limit. A power reserve display near 12 o'clock shows how much time it is left until the next wounding.
