A collaboration between Meissen Porcelain Manufactory and Glashutte Original Watch Manufactory, that last more then several years can only create a true classical masterpiece that is elegant and a perfect indicator when it cams to watches. The two constructors and inventors, in the same time, have also shown to the world the discoveries like Meissen porcelain and flying tourbillon. For this year the innovation name is Senator Meissen Tourbillon.
The main characteristic for the Senator Meissen Tourbillon is the rose gold case and its diameter is 40 millimeters; this is the main characteristic because inside this case lies a technology that was developed in three years of hard work and innovating ideas. The dial of the watch is made from pure ceramics and the process to obtain this perfect flat piece of rock is a very intrigue one. Meissen chose ceramics because it can not be influenced by the earth gravitational field.
The technological process of the ceramics dial begins with the creation of a disk from liquid porcelain that requires 1400 Celsius degrees. The amazing part of the creation of those porcelain disk is that every single one of them are handily inspected and only ones that are not showing signs of cracks or those that are not finished complete can continue their road to the painters. For the inscription of the roman numbers there whore chose experts in painting and the numbers are compound by to layers of paint and each layer needs to be treated in the oven with temperatures near 900 Celsius degrees. After the entire dial has been inscribed and finished it goes again in the oven for two days for the paint to dry and for a better resistance of the ceramics piece.
For the Senator Meissen Tourbillon are used the same blue indicators that Meissen used before. An extraordinary property lies in the turning wheel of the watch that when not pull it can turn itself 360 degrees to compensate with the earth gravity and movement. But a subsidiary second’s indicator is placed near the hour six, where we can also find the flying tourbillon and just for this to be more visible it was created with the help from a non-reflexive ruby.
The tourbillon measures only 0.8 millimeters in diameter and has the properties of ceramics isolation but also the 3 years of development and research. The tourbillon is isolated in a ceramics box from the rest of the mechanical parts and it construction requires numerous hours from the engineers mostly because they didn’t use the same material for the entire indicator, it is compound from red gold white gold and also titanium screws. This tourbillon offers a 21 first look when it comes to technology and the rest of the watch is like drag out from a movie from the sixties.
The heart of the Senator Meissen Tourbillon is the automatic Caliber 94-11 and this mechanical masterpiece can be admire throw the back of the case and actually throw a non reflexive ruby. The watch can sustain a 48 power reserve and this option can be very useful in the modern world or when it cams to meetings and work.
The watch can be found all over the world and the price for Senator Meissen Tourbillon begins from 11.150 euros and it cams with a warranty of 12 years but you must remember that the watch is not water proof and the manufacturer doesn’t take blame for any water accidents. Is an excellent opportunity for every one that loves new and old at the same time.
