AS RARE AS THEY COME......
Audemars Piguet once again stuns the world of horology with its Deadbeat
Seconds & Escapement Grand Complication.
The Millenary Manual Winding Movement with AP
Escapement and "Deadbeat Seconds" (or "Jump Seconds)- a
remarkable achievement for a mechanical wrist watch.
This watch features:
- Silvered textured guilloche dial.
- Blued applied Roman numeral hour markers.
- Blued skeleton hands.
- Small seconds sub-dial at the 7 o'clock. This
small seconds hand features the "Dead Seconds" complication.
- The Dead Seconds Complication: With regular
mechanical watch the beats per hour (vph) interpret into the frequency the
seconds hand advances - giving the seconds hand the perception of smooth motion
AKA "the sweep seconds hand". With the dead seconds complication the
seconds hand jump every second. This complication is achieved through am
additional going-train driven by a second barrel. AP devised a system with two
- superimposed seconds-wheels driven by a
"differential", one is free and moves steadily forward at the rate of
the VPH, while the other carries wolf's teeth and moves in jerks â“ hence the
jumping seconds.
- The new AP High Efficiency Direct-Impulse
Escapement is proudly displayed on the dial side of the watch. The benefits of
this new escapement are considerable:
*No need for lubrication on the pallet-stones.
*Detached single-beat escapement: A single impulse
corresponds to two vibrations, thus decreasing disturbance to the rate and
promoting extremely high efficiency.
*Direct impulse on the balance: The energy is
transmitted directly from the escapement to the balance instead of via the
lever, thereby reducing energy losses and increasing efficiency.
- High efficiency: In a movement equipped with a
Swiss lever escapement, the latter absorbs 70% of the energy. The system
developed by Audemars Piguet absorbs only 50%, representing a considerable gain
in efficiency compared to a classic movement.
- Excellent shock-resistance: The meticulously
developed shape of the various parts (especially the guard-pin) and their ultra
precise machining guarantee optimal security against "tripping" and
"over banking".
- Long-term stability: The tests conducted over the
past five years have shown that this escapement displays excellent operational
stability.
- Improved accuracy/chronometry: the isochronism of
the sprung balance may be adjusted by shifting the locking-point in relation to
the impulse provided by the balance; a reduction in mechanical disturbances to
the balance improves the overall precision of the movement.
The
hand-wound Audemars Piguet Calibre 2905 is an oval-shaped movement comprising
233 parts. It is derived from the Caliber 2899 movement housed in Cabinet N° 5
in the Tradition d’Excellence. In addition to its outstanding technical
properties, epitomized by the Audemars Piguet escapement, it is also
distinguished by the care lavished on the shape and finishing of its
constituent parts. All components are entirely hand-finished in the noblest
fine watchmaking traditions: beveling, rhodium-plating, and, depending on the
part, côtes de Genčve and stippling. This concern for detail is reflected
on the back of the watch. The sapphire crystal enables one to admire the twin
barrels rotating
within an extremely contemporary geometrical stage-setting featuring the
ratchets and the jeweled bearings. A spectacular dance of suns, stars and
satellites, against a backdrop adorned with horizontal côtes de Geneve. In
harmony with the standards of fine watchmaking, the fastening screws with their
points of attachment arranged in a triangular pattern are linked by a circle
when their direction is reversed. To ensure the harmonious visual appeal of
this arrangement, this three-point screw and circle layout is echoed in the
center of the barrel, adorned with a radiating motif known as a sunburst
effect.
The Audemars
Piguet Millenary shows that even as venerated a classical watchmaking house as
Audemars Piguet can break new ground with a unique and distinctive design. The
Audemars Piguet Millenary departs from the traditional round case, instead
offering an oval form inspired by the Roman Coliseum’s architecture.
Imagine if you will wearing a piece
of technological wizardry on your wrist designed by some of the finest
watchmakers in the world.
The
Audemars Piguet Millenary Deadbeat Seconds & Escapement Grand Complication watch
is a high luxury timepiece which has piqued a tremendous amount of excitement
amongst connoisseurs and collectors.
No doubt - One of the most sought after Audemars Piguet watches
ever released.
The Audemars Piguet brand offers watches of the highest
quality matched with incredible style.
Owning a watch like this is a privilege afforded to
very few collectors, since producing a watch like this requires a master to
produce it.
This amazing special edition is one of only a handful of example
timepieces from Audemars Piguet and is a very lucrative and hard to find
timepiece.
We attached a few pictures of the actual watch. It is probably one of the coolest AP Limited Edition watches we ever had the privilege of owning. The watch is unbelievable in detail and structure from its front to its case back where you can see the way everything works. This watch features a true open-worked dial which allows the collector to visually see and appreciate the way this magnificent timepiece works when set into position. I have to say from one watch enthusiast to another, this is definitely a watch that is understated and yet is simultaneously extremely rare an exotic. Many watch companies do not have the ability to create a watch of this caliber where one can appreciate it's mechanical composition as well as its aesthetic perfection. I have to say I give this watch a 10 out of a 10, and assure you that you will be extremely happy with the detail that Audemars Piguet offers on this magnificent masterpiece.
