The mark of the Joux Valley gives such a prestigious Exhibition model, which has the elegance of simplicity and has an interesting technology research

Found in the variation of this version of the Millenary the same dimensions.

What is remarkable is the technique

AP of the escapement, which was originally a mechanism dating from the late eighteenth Robin and revisited with all the modern art of watchmaking, it was able to reduce energy losses and even dispense with lubrication on the levees while ensuring a Swiss anchor escapement, shown resilience.

This escape allows a direct impulse, with double spiral. There is also adapted the hammers andstamps of the ring. This allows the system to which names the minute repeater model.

The caliber is the 910, manual winding, case oval titanium gold dial eccentric. This allows the proper disposal of complications.

This version of the Millenary finds its place with other models like the N5 Excellence, the MC12and Deadbeat Second.

The automatic mechanism has its own memory, which can read the time in the dark with an audio indication.

If the double spiral “flat is interesting here also to the strength of the whole, this enables more consistent and less fragile than the Breguet spiral, in addition, this mechanism is also less sensitive to wield a double tourbillon, we are told.

Thus, the balance spiral has a mix of 21 600 per hour and the adjustment would be finer.

The Millenary Minute Repeater also has three barrels, one dedicated solely to the ring.

This timepiece has an autonomy of 165h, with an adjustment to the nearest second.

Beyond science watch deployed for this model, we also note the attention to quality materials and finishes used in hand: a beautiful object for amateurs who will no doubt go.

For the record, it is worth recalling that the Audemars Piguet was born in 1875, the alliance of Jules-Louis Audemars and Edward Auguste Piguet at Le Brassus.

Its production would be 25,000 models a year.

One model is Emblematic brand Royal Oak, named after a ship of the British fleet, including the ports of the guns
