Top chronographs and chronographs are generally two worlds; in order to fully represent the movement of the wheel, they would rather give up the automatic winding, in order to make the clutch action clearly visible, they are willing to give up the mainstream nowadays vertical clutch, this All show a very different thinking with the general chronograph, but these are just hardcore gamers on the chronograph requirements, so only the top brands have the means to support the batch of jealous. PATEK PHILIPPE Ref.5170R Time back to 2008, that year PATEK PHILIPPE Patek Philippe introduced Ref.5070 Platinum Edition, was widely publicized 5070 is about to stop production, this 5070P is its last facelift, but at the same time, PP will no longer be used The CH 27-70, modified from Lemania 2310, will be replaced by a brand new hand-chronograph movement developed by them. Sure enough, at the end of next year, Patek Philippe officially announced at a special conference their new generation of hand chronograph chronograph movement CH 29-535, the only surprise to all of this new look is the only expected new movement is Lady First 7071 in the female form on the top. ▲ CH 29-535 as a chronograph movement is characterized by one of the two sub-surface plate does not fall on the axis, but slightly down a few degrees lower, the visual impression a little subtle; the other on the right chronograph minute hand is the use of the moment Jump, interpretation more accurate. In fact, PP's strategy here is not difficult to understand, on the one hand do not want to come out in the period to come up with too strong products, intends to leave the trump card at a later show, and then CH 29-535 itself topic Sex is enough, no need to run out of all the good cards. All in all, 5070 successor machine did not follow the homemade chronograph with the publication, but a little hanging our appetite, until 2010 BASELWORLD finally launched, and this long-awaited chronograph is our introduction 5170. ▲ press to use a square design, which has been from the beginning of 5070 has been; as a result of the previous generation of 130 have a square press by the round, it does not matter what kind of more classical. Because it is hand chain, so the crown to maintain a certain size for easy winding. The first paragraph of the material is yellow K70 5170, launched in 2013 white K gold version, and the original rod + Roman mark into Breguet numerals; 2015 launched the black white K gold, the change Section further removed the pulse gauge on the outer rim of the face plate, and finally came to the 2016 rose gold section, this time the introduction of black and white two face plates, full use of Breguet digital + pulse-free meter Of the face plate design, thus 5170 only the remaining two rose gold models and black and white K gold models, the use of the old design of white flour K gold and yellow K gold now no longer exists in the official catalog. ▲ CH 29-535 is a PP hand-made chronograph hand-chronograph movement, when the first is also marked PP models. Column wheel, horizontal clutch and indirect zero are all traditional high chronograph movement specifications, but in addition the movement still has a lot of innovative patented design. 5070's face plate is basically take the classical style, but on the one hand it bears a lot of weight, and then the lugs are not the standard Huai Kale Zhuohua style, so the overall look rather a bit sports watch posture. 5170 is a complete return to the classic, the whole table from the face plate to the case are faithfully reproduce the classic Ref.130 PP chronograph; stick + Roman numerals or the time mark of all Breguet numerals are the past 130 antique The style that once appeared in the table - in fact there are many more changes in the 130 models, if the brand is interested, you can make several changes again. The original pulse meter on the surface occupy a small proportion of the accident is removed after the face plate did not appear to be empty, it should still be to worship the face plate and the time-scale design successfully averages the entire surface of the center of gravity, So watch the face plate to maintain harmony, but for some players may still prefer the outer ring with a pulse meter or tachymeter professional feeling yet.

The 3000-series movement is a long-awaited self-made chronograph caliber system launched by the VC in the year 2015. The two models are the 3200, the timekeeping tourbillon, the 3300, the chronograph, and the Ring-shaped chaser chronograph 3500, and three movements are mounted on the same with the new watch set for the anniversary Harmony on top. As a high-level complex features, the existence of time-measurement tourbillon itself has a certain topic, but for the hardcore gamers timing pinch is probably the most impressive of these three, but if you consider the real sales , The actual use of words, may still belong to this spring chronograph most comprehensive strategic significance. ▲ pulse meter in the face plate is very eye-catching, one it uses a red number scale, and then it occupies an area of ​​not small, or even grab the limelight of the central small dial, under the original existence of the original sense of it Come so strongly. The Harmony series is based on the brand's first chronograph introduced by VC in 1928. The case is decorated with a decorative cushion and fully reflects the design preferences of the time. The current VC pillow Only American 1921 model section of a paragraph, this is enough to show this new series in the brand across the board unique products. Among the three new movements, the 3200 and 3300 belong to the same system, while the 3500 is a separate development, but the three are also set at 6 o'clock power reserve display; to this, for example, its energy storage is displayed Into a small diameter disc, the scale of the outer ring marked only 0-1 / 2-1, simple and retro with a little retro flavor, very chic, but consider the original 1928 antique models only simple binocular configuration, Perhaps omit the energy storage display is a good option. ▲ with the coaxial crown press to be well designed is also a science, too few prominent part will be bad press, more will appear unexpected, but also can not affect the operation of the crown itself, not good sense of proportion The best way to solve the problem here is with VC. Single-touch operation is an important feature of this series watches, integrated into the crown with the coaxial press to show the engraved style engraved into the classical case of the line and fluent, compared to the chase style had 2:00 The bell more by a chase needle, the outline of the contour but not as neat as this. The original 1928 watch was marked on the outer rim of the faceplate with a pulse meter, which was also faithfully engraved on it, albeit of limited relevance, to the player as a rather delightful detail; incidentally, About this part of the design of the same series of three are not the same, including the Tourbillon paragraph without any measurement, chase style is replaced by a tachymeter (on the timing of the needle is also more reasonable). ▲ 3300 movement also uses the column wheel, horizontal clutch, indirect zero and so the classic design, "high-end models," the positioning is quite clear, but the movement still developed a variety of internal performance-enhancing The new agency, not blindly Antique favor. Pincushion case is another technical point of this series, better than the round shell or square shell, pincushion shell subtle shape, in the molding, especially when it is time to maintain the correct deformation of the line requires a highly skilled manual, Coupled with the complex details of this surface treatment, all this is not difficult to see the top of the VC processing water Huai.
