TAG HEUER 2005: THE CALIBRE 360
The Calibre 360 beats 10 times faster than the most precise mechanical wristwatch movements on the market today. It is like being endowed with two hearts-2 sets of escapement mechanisms are allowed to cruise at a regular speed (28,800 oscillations/hour) under normal conditions then accelerate to immense speed (360,000 oscillations/hour) in chronograph mode. For a movement to be this incredibly precise, it requires more than 230 components,Hearts of Cartier Ring in Stainless Steel Plated with Rose Gold, a lightened and miniaturized hairspring and escapement mechanism (26% smaller in diameter than an ordinary balance wheel), and, finally, no fewer than 3 exclusive worldwide patents: 1. 1/100th-of-a-second display on a mechanical wrist-worn chronograph; 2. Bi-directional crown and rewind system: The single crown controls the automatic watch and the mechanical chronograph, as well as the Replica IWC Portuguese watch's hour and date setting. When turned counter-clockwise, it rewinds the automatic watch; when turned clockwise, it rewinds the manual chronograph; 3. Transmission of the date from the base of the movement to the upper dial.
