» Second platinum model: Patek Philippe Annual Calendar chronograph Ref. 5960P
Thus, the new 2010 version of the Annual Calendar chronograph differs in subtle ways from its predecessors[…] … 5960P Annual Calendar chronograph was endowed with the first regularly produced chronograph movement developed from the bottom up by Patek Philippe and crafted entirely in-house from the movement blank to the finished caliber[…] … A genuine manufacture chronograph movement combined with Patek Philippe’s legendary Annual Calendar was exactly what the market had been waiting for[…] … As a matter of fact, the Annual Calendar chronograph instantly became one of the manufacture’s most sought-after models[…] … 5960P unites a mechanical flyback chronograph and an Annual Calendar, two of the most popular complications in timekeeping[…] … The calendar mechanism is based on a patent granted to Patek Philippe in 1996 for the Annual Calendar – it relies on wheels and pinions rather than the more common levers to control the calendar displays[…] … In actual fact, Patek Philippe’s annual calendar mechanisms have a proven 15-year track record for above-average functionality and reliability[…] … The manufacture’s patented Annual Calendar is a full calendar that automatically distinguishes months with 30 and 31 days and, if kept running, only needs to be manually corrected once a year on the first day of March[…] … The chronograph module of the new Ref[…] … This solution is extremely dependable and eliminates the risk of hand bounce in either direction when the chronograph is switched on, because no wheels are abruptly engaged[…] … Since the disk clutch is virtually wear-free, the chronograph hand can be used as a running seconds hand without hesitation[…] … 5960P, contrary to most chronographs, has no seconds subdial[…] … The round chronograph pushers and the large easy-grip crown are located on the right-hand side of the case[…] … The push pieces for adjusting the calendar indicators are on the opposite side[…] … These decidedly masculine attributes underscore the technical appeal of the chronograph[…] … Unlike most other chronographs, the Ref[…] … On three concentric scales, it indicates the minutes and hours totalized by the chronograph[…] … This function is particularly useful when the watch has stopped, making it necessary to distinguish between morning and afternoon hours when setting the time and the calendar indications[…] … The upper half of the dial is dominated by the Annual Calendar, which indicates the day of the week, the date, and the month in three apertures arranged along an arc between 10 and 2 o'clock[…] … The tips of the leaf-shaped hour and minute hands extend nearly all the way to the hour and minute markers, and the end of the chronograph hand skims the fractionally graduated seconds scale[…] … 5960P Annual Calendar chronograph shows how important even seemingly small details really are in haute horlogerie, be they a minor modification in power transmission or subtle color variations in dial design[…]
» BASELWORLD 2012: The De Ville Chronograph OMEGA Co-Axial Kaliber 9300/9301
And it was in the De Ville Hour Vision Annual Calendar that the Si14 silicon balance spring made its début, offering an unparalleled level of stability and performance in a series-produced mechanical watch movement[…] … The De Ville Chronograph OMEGA Co-Axial calibre 9300/9301 carries on the line’s tradition of classic design and its most innovative technology[…] … It is powered by the chronograph in the brand’s family of proprietary Co-Axial movements[…] … This new De Ville Chronograph is available with either a 42 mm 18 Ct red gold case on a brown or blue leather strap, or with a stainless steel case on a stainless steel bracelet or on a black or blue leather strap[…] … The two-zone dial has been created in a choice of opaline-silver or blue for the 18 Ct red gold models and opaline-silver or black or blue for the De Ville Chronograph in stainless steel[…] … The chronograph sub-dial at 3 o’clock has both the 60-minute and 12-hour counters so reading the elapsed time is intuitive[…] … The watch has a central chronograph seconds hand as well as 18 Ct gold diamond-polished, facetted central hour and minute hands[…] … The De Ville Chronograph is water resistant to 10 bar / 100 metres / 330 feet[…] … With its combination of simple elegance and cutting-edge technology, the De Ville Chronograph Omega Co-Axial Calibre 9300/9301 is a stunning reminder of what a classic, yet highly technical mechanical watch can be[…]
» It is not a one-of-a-kind timepiece: Patek Philippe Triple Complication
With a minute repeater, monopusher chronograph, and instantaneous perpetual calendar, it presents the most challenging degrees of difficulty with peerless perfection[…] … 5207 with a minute repeater, instantaneous perpetual calendar with aperture displays, and tourbillon; in 2011, the second is the Ref[…] … 5208P with a chronograph, minute repeater, and instantaneous calendar with aperture displays[…] … Eagerly awaited by collectors and fans of complicated watches, it is the manufacture’s first Triple Complication with a chronograph[…] … 5207 (minute repeater, tourbillon, perpetual calendar with aperture displays) and the Ref[…] … 5216 (minute repeater, tourbillon, perpetual calendar with retrograde date)[…] … Complication after complication Connoisseurs will appreciate that combining a self-winding minute repeater movement with a chronograph mechanism and an instantaneous perpetual calendar with aperture displays must have been a huge challenge for the caliber engineers and master watchmakers[…] … The self-winding basic movement with the minute repeater mechanism did not allow the arbors of the chronograph to extend through the strike train from the back[…] … On the other hand, the date, day, and month disks of the calendar must lie directly beneath the dial to assure the best possible legibility of the aperture displays[…] … The only solution was to configure the chronograph between the repeater and calendar mechanisms[…] … 1st complication: the monopusher chronograph Patek Philippe has always emphasized the aesthetic appeal of a timepiece in the development of new movements, and it is a mandatory criterion of the Patek Philippe Seal[…] … For this reason, the chronograph mechanism with its column wheel and the horizontal clutch had to be made extremely thin to fit the space between the movement and the instantaneous perpetual calendar[…] … In this respect, the Patek Philippe portfolio is a rich source: the caliber CH R 27-525 PS is the world's thinnest splitseconds chronograph movement with column-wheel control[…] … It contributed the friction drives for the minute and hour counters that are not only very thin but also offset the torque differences between the coupled and uncoupled states of the chronograph, assuring that the amplitude of the balance remains consistent in every operating mode[…] … Additionally, the toothing profiles of the chronograph wheels, also derived from this record-breaking movement, reduce wear and increase power transmission efficiency[…] … Conversely, the patented self-setting hammers and brake levers were borrowed from the new CH 29-535 chronograph movement[…] … Thanks to innovations of this kind and to the classic column-wheel and clutch-wheel control design, the overall height of the chronograph mechanism was reduced to 2[…] … The result is a three-phase chronograph with a monopusher at 2 o'clock that executes the start, stop, and reset commands when actuated in succession[…] … The seconds and fractions of a second are measured with the large sweep chronograph hand while the continuously running counters at 3 and 9 o'clock display the elapsed time on a 60-minute and a 12-hour scale[…] … 2nd complication: the instantaneous perpetual calendar with aperture displays The basics of its construction bears similarities with the Ref[…] … 5207 launched in 2008, but the mechanism had to be extensively redesigned to accommodate the chronograph functions[…] … Because the chronograph mechanism is layered between the calendar and the movement proper, it was not possible to simply route the cannon pinion through the chronograph wheel into the calendar module with the standard time and calendar data displays[…] … Given the tight space conditions within the chronograph mechanism, it was a delicate task, and a considerable amount of research had to be conducted to develop the best possible solution[…] … Its rotary motion is laterally shifted before it is transmitted through the chronograph mechanism, but then routed back to the center in the calendar mechanism which drives the hour and minute hands, the calendar displays, the day/night indication, and the moon phases[…] … To distribute the force in the calendar module as economically as possible with the objective of assuring that all calendar displays will advance instantaneously and simultaneously at midnight ±2 minutes, the patented mechanisms of the Ref[…] … A large, 15-part yoke makes sure that all calendar displays are advanced by one day at the very same moment[…] … 5208 was endowed with an elaborate mechanism which instantaneously switches the calendar indications, the time display deserves special attention as well[…] … 5208P does not reveal the exciting realm of a chronograph mechanism, it does showcase a remarkable sight: the first Pulsomax® escapement and Spiromax® balance spring made of Silinvar® ever to be integrated into a Patek Philippe Grand Complication[…] … The energy gain is tapped entirely for the chronograph functions[…] … It shows hours, minutes, and seconds of standard time with a day/night indication; elapsed seconds, minutes, and hours of stopped times; the day, date, month, and year of the perpetual calendar; and not least the moon phases[…] … 5208 might at first sight be confused with one of Patek Philippe's popular Annual Calendars which display the calendar information in three apertures, including a particularly prominent date aperture, at the top of the dial[…] … But the slide in the left-hand side of the case, the monopusher at 2 o'clock, and the two subdials immediately show that more than a perpetual calendar is involved here[…] … People who know that movement wheels generally rotate continuously and at a rather leisurely pace can appreciate the fact that this instantaneous change of calendar displays is hardly achievable without an unusually elaborate ensemble of parts[…]
» Patek Philippe's Ref. 5960P Annual Calendar Chronograph
Aficionados have long awaited a new Patek Philippe chronograph[…] … Now, a year after having presented the world's thinnest split-seconds chronograph, the Geneva workshops can delight connoisseurs with a new, self-winding chronograph wristwatch which is crafted entirely in-house: the Patek Philippe Ref[…] … 5960P Annual Calendar Chronograph[…] … It features a totally new self-winding chronograph movement developed and manufactured by Patek Philippe and endowed with a further complication: the patented Annual Calendar mechanism[…] … The new caliber: Tradition and innovation in perfect harmony The new CH 28-520 IRM QA 24H chronograph caliber is a self-winding mechanical movement with a flyback column-wheel chronograph, power-reserve indicator, Annual Calendar, and day/night display[…] … The chronograph mechanism is based on the venerable column-wheel principle for controlling the start/stop commands[…] … However, it differs from classic Patek Philippe column-wheel chronographs by virtue of a remarkable innovation: The clamps do not control the engagement of a lever-mounted clutch wheel with the chronograph train but instead act on a disk clutch that transmits (chronograph running) or interrupts (chronograph stopped) the power between the fourth wheel and the chronograph hand[…] … This is a highly reliable solution that eliminates the occurrence of backlash-induced hand jitter or bouncing because it does not involve the sudden meshing of teeth when the chronograph is started[…] … It also replaces the conventional three-wheel chronograph train that for reasons of wear made it inadvisable to keep the chronograph running permanently[…] … In this movement, the chronograph hand can be used without hesitation as a continuously running seconds hand; because this has no negative impact on the rate accuracy of the watch, the subsidiary seconds dial customarily found in many chronographs is no longer needed[…] … The chronograph is operated with two buttons[…] … The patented Patek Philippe Annual Calendar is a full calendar that automatically recognizes months with 30 and 31 days and, assuming that the watch is always running, only needs to be manually corrected once a year on March 1[…] … Its modular design expands the scope of applications of the new chronograph caliber, providing future latitude for extra functions[…] … Unlike other chronographs, it does not have three subsidiary dials for the running seconds as well as the minute and hour counters[…] … It is very useful when the time and calendar displays need to be resynchronized after a longer standstill period[…] … The date changes between 8 pm and 2 am, so manual calendar adjustments must not be made during this period[…] … 5960P is dedicated to the Annual Calendar that displays the day of the week, the date, and the month in three apertures arranged along an arc from 10 to 2 o'clock[…] … A stately presence in platinum To present the very first self-winding wrist chronograph developed and manufactured entirely in-house, Patek Philippe is launching a stately first edition in a classic round platinum case[…] … The two chronograph buttons and the large knurled crown are on the right-hand side while the three recessed correction push pieces for the adjustment of the calendar displays are arranged in the left side of the case between 9 and 10 o'clock[…] … The chronograph is worn on a brown alligator strap with a platinum fold-over clasp[…]

» PATEK PHILIPPE: Chronograph Ref 5170 - The genesis of a new classic
It takes audacity to call a new watch a classic, but in the case of the Patek Philippe chronograph Ref[…] … Now, the time for speculation is over and the object of desire has become reality: the classic men’s wrist chronograph developed entirely by Patek Philippe and crafted exclusively in the manufacture’s workshops[…] … After all, the ambition with the new CH 29-535 PS chronograph caliber for the Ref[…] … 5170J was not just to present a classic manually wound chronograph movement with a column wheel and a horizontal clutch built entirely in-house[…] … The objective was also to outperform its predecessor, the CH 27-70 PS, which was based on a Lémania movement blank extensively reengineered and modified by Patek Philippe to create one of the most beautiful chronograph calibers ever made[…] … When the new chronograph movement premièred last November with the launch of the Patek Philippe Ladies First Chronograph, the CH 29-535 PS caliber was discussed in-depth by many journalists and found to fulfill the loftiest expectations[…] … It has been worth the wait Patek Philippe spared no effect to exceed all expectations with its new classic wrist chronograph[…] … Indeed, the development of the CH 29-535 PS movement took more than five years, spanning several stages that also embraced further chronograph calibers including, in 2005, the CHR 27-525 PS with a height of just 5[…] … 25 mm: it holds the world record as the thinnest split-seconds chronograph movement with column-wheel control[…] … The new chronograph movement inherited its chronograph wheels with the patented tooth profiles[…] … In 2006, the workshops presented the self-winding Annual Calendar chronograph with a disk clutch that delivered further important insights regarding power flows and amplitude characteristics in chronographs[…] … While the cap hides the refined details of the column wheel, it also firmly secures the chronograph levers in their positions – even in the event of sharp jolts – so it enhances functional reliability, a top priority at Patek Philippe[…] … The movement features a large chronograph hand, a seconds subdial, and an instantaneously jumping 30-minute counter[…] … The power reserve of the watch is 65 hours (over 58 hours when the chronograph is running), and a stopseconds mechanism simplifies the exact synchronization of the watch with a time signal[…] … 5170J chronograph, this begins with the 39-mm round case in 18K yellow gold[…] … The chronograph is operated with pushers at 2 and 4 o’clock[…] … Their rectangular shape has been a typical attribute of Patek Philippe wrist chronographs for seventy years[…] … The chronograph case is produced with a traditional cold-forming process in which small solid-gold bars are gradually swaged into cases in high-precision dies using heavy-duty presses[…] … 5170J chronograph is a consummate statement of timeless elegance[…] … The hour, minute, and seconds hands that indicate legal time are crafted from yellow gold to match the hour markers and Roman numerals, while the chronograph seconds and minute hands are black[…] … 5170J wrist chronograph to Patek Philippe’s men’s collection, the Genevabased manufacture has made a wish come true for many watch collectors and connoisseurs[…]
