1969, zenith shocking el primero movement launched to 36,000 times per hour the speed of the balance wheel, quickly set off in the table a whirlwind altar, at the same time shattered many times over the same period 28,800 of the balance wheel speed movement known as the accuracy of become the peak age of mechanical watches dominate the table of the legendary altar table factory.
1969, zenith launched ground-breaking el primero movement, 36,000 times per hour the speed of the balance wheel, not only to quickly set off a Tornado table altar, but also shattered many times over the same period before 28,800 rounds of speed of movement of the so-called accuracy. Until today, even the coaxial escapement device ─ father, Dr. (dr. george daniels) could not escape the charm of the el primero movement of its device in his R & D unit of the escapement, we can see there are el primero and accuracy of its attractions.
In fact, there are some zenith past . It is in the zenith of 30 years of service, Mr. Ma Ke (marc-w. roethlisberger) said that in the 70′s, zenith by the Americans after the acquisition, given the prevalence of quartz watch at that time, it was decided to produce mechanical watches all the old machines sold or scrapped, So 70′s to the zenith, it is ridiculous for some years, at the same time friends like mechanical watches, but also a pity. But 15 years later, aided, when the traditional form once again become the mainstream market, the Swiss capital zenith recovery plants, and buy back more than a decade ago to sell its machines under the pretext of re-el primero attack launched chronomaster, class 4 time series and the rainbow series, was again let the world experience to 36,000 per hour to the Need for Speed.
In fact, if carefully observed and the el primero movement per hour to 28,800 different movements can be seen from the movement to analyze the composition of parts. Before the first round of the size, el primero smaller the balance wheel, and light; the second to take place on the heart of the gossamer softness of view, el primero gossamer hardness than the average of 28,800 movements to higher and el primero 5 car movement (21 teeth) the number of teeth than the average to 28,800 movements (20 teeth) more than the number of teeth of a tooth. Lvmh Group is currently a member of the zenith, the future is bound to continue to show the world the production of a new style, and more complex zenith of the movement to improve the status of the watch industry, means that in the near future, as in el primero Tourbillon name, will be more “fast track” to set off a whirlwind of the altar table.
