New 2006 | TimeMover – Case in walnut, doors covered with leather
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? It is a problem, unless you are one of the exclusive owners of a watch winder.
We have the solution with our Grande PrécisionTimeMover Collector 48, a cooperation between Erwin Sattler München, maker of the most accurate mechanical clocks in the world, and Buben & Zörweg, cabinet and watch winder manufacturer from Austria.
Grande Précision – TimeMover Collector 48 – the time machine
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 of this gives the owner of a Sattler timepiece an accuracy of 1-2 seconds a month or better.
The Grande Précision TimeMover Collector 48 provides the best clock 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.
Each group of four has its own control panel 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 Grande Précision TimeMover Collector 48 address this concern.
The Grande Précision TimeMover Collector 48 watch-winders have several options available to the operator: Adjust turns per day: 600, 800 or 900. Clockwise, anti clockwise, or both. 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 Grande Précision TimeMover Collector 48 is available with several different options. To safeguard your collection, each Grande Précision TimeMover Collector 48 is shipped with lockable 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 favourite timepieces (hand wind or automatics) in the drawers supplied.
The Grande Précision TimeMover Collector 48 is designed for time-honoured watch setting the mechanical way. Take a watch from the Grande Précision TimeMover Collector 48, 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 Grande Précision TimeMover Collector 48 will not do for you? It will not decide for you which watch to wear.
