Always in Motion: TimeMover 48-Grande Precision
Mechanical watches are more than just timekeepers. The lovely ticking of perfectly machined parts combine to produce masterpieces of horology many of which now have achieved collector status. Mechanical movements are considered by many to have a life of their own. The rhythmic ticking of mechanical movements makes hearts beat faster, many have more than just one. Most people wear one watch, some two. The others are stored in a safe or cabinet at home or in a safe-deposit box at the bank. Here is where the problem starts...How to keep all those watches wound and ticking, especially those that have special functions like a moonphase or perpetual calendar?... unless you are one of the exclusive owners of a watch winder.
We have the solution with our TimeMover 48-Grande Precision a cooperation between Erwin Sattler München , maker of the most accurate mechanical clocks in the world, and Buben & Zörweg , cabinet and watch winder manufacturer. The fascinating Sattler timepieces offer a precision movement with Graham escapement, temperature and barometric compensated pendulum, and a one-month power reserve. The escapement can be viewed through the dial. Erwin Sattler München designs and manufactures all its own movements. How many watch manufacturers can say that? All this giving the owner of a Sattler timepiece an accuracy of 1-2 seconds a month or better.
The TimeMover 48-Grande Precision is the best that the market has to offer in precision combined with an ensemble of 48 watch-winders arranged in six groups of four on each side of the clock. Each group of four has its own control panel which is located under each bank of twenty-four. The watchwinder technology is a cooperation between Elma and Buben & Zörweg . We must mention that constant winding is not always good for a quality mechanical watch. The slip clutch built into most automatic watches would constantly be used and would cause premature wear on spring and housing. The watch winders in the TimeMover 48-Grande Precision address this concern.
The TimeMover 48-Grande Precision watch-winders have several options available to the operator:
- Adjust turns per day: 600, 800 or 900.
- Left turn, right turn or both directions.
- Sleep phase. This sleep phase will allow the watch to unwind 10 hours in a 24 hour time period.
- Power wind option. With the press of a button you can start a one-hour continuous wind so you can wear the watch with a more completely wound spring.
So as not to interfere with the quiet ticking of the Erwin Sattler Precision Pendulum clock, the motors in the watch winders are produced by Faulhaber and use ball bearings instead of bushings. These motors are extremely quiet and are built for longevity.
The case of the TimeMover 48-Grande Precision is available with several different options. To keep your collection together, each TimeMover 48-Grande Precision is shipped with locking doors. Order the optional alarm system to further protect your investment. Not only is there enough room for 48 automatic watches but you can also store 24 more of your favorite timepieces (hand wind or automatics) in the supplied drawers.
The TimeMover 48-Grande Precision is designed for time-honored watch setting the mechanical way. Take a watch from the TimeMover 48-Grande Precision , look at the regulator dial of the Erwin Sattler Precision Pendulum clock and set hour, minute and second hands of the watch to the second.
We can take you back to the tradition of setting your watch using a mechanical timepiece, with all the age-old traditions of timepiece manufacturing, watch winder technology and case design. What is the one thing the TimeMover 48-Grande Precision will not do for you? It will not make the decision for you of which watch to wear.
The TimeMover 48-Grande Precision will only be available through select retailers for € 75.000.-.
An optional alarm system is available.
