interesting facts about Chronoswiss
A Chronoswiss with automated winding mechanism will be maintained running only by swinging your arm. This mechanism was invented by " Abraham Louis Perrelet“ in 1770. His only problem was then, that watches were not yet carried at the wrist but only in the pocket. If your Chronoswiss happens to fall down, please refrain from getting a shock. The sensitive blocks are shielded against any kind of shock.
The safeguarding mechanism (shock absorbance) was called Incabloc already in the 1930s.
Naturally it was developped further during the following decades and it was adjusted to the changing customs of fashion.
The clockwork of caliber C 732 with automatical wind-up has got a skeletonized rotor
and 24 functional jewels. The chronograph can measure time intervalls um to 12 hours.
directly under the clock face the patented drag indicator-mechanism is located.
Due to classical principles it has been constructed with control gear and plier.
The speciality of the Chronoswiss-development consists in the fact,
that the drag indicator doesn't lead to a bigger height of the clockwork.
This was possible because of the decentral display of the hours and minutes at the "3".
If the chronoswiss once is falling down, you do not need to be scared,
because of the fact, that the sensitive pins are protectted against any kind of crushes/pushes.
Incabloc, was the protection system (crush protection) in the years about 1930 called.
Certainly, it has been improved consistently in the following centuries and adapted to the habits of wearing.
