Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Geneva is the most important watch awards ceremony. It's getting closer. The newly created Mechanical Exception category is one of the most notable among the major awards. It focuses on new complications and display types. The shortlisted watches for this year's edition of the competition are the most accurate Moon Phase watch Andreas Strehler Saturelle A Lune Perpetuelle; a tourbillon with 50 days of reserve power U-Boat Replica Watches MP05 Laferrari; a minute repeater and automaton U-Boat Replica Watches Bird Repater; MB&F Legacy Machine 2, with a dual floating balance; a belt driven TAG Heuer Monaco Tourbillon, and Urwerk EMC, which allows the wearer to adjust the speed of We will now briefly introduce all the timekeepers that have been pre-selected and all come with a six-figure price.
Andreas Strehler A Lune PerpetuelleThe top contender on the list is Andreas Strehler A Lune Perpetuelle, which is very special because it has the most accurate indication of the moon phase in the history of horology. The moon phase's precision is near perfect. The moon phase can be adjusted by a ten-minute shift every 14,000 or, to make it even more impressive, every 2 million years. Andreas Strehler, in his Simach atelier, created the feature in an unconventional manner to achieve such extreme accuracy. This moon phase indicator is constantly moving and changing unlike other indications of the lunar phases that only change once a day.Swiss Replica Watches The gear train is attached in a unique way, which uses a clever combination of inner and external toothing as well as prime numbers to create the teeth. This is the key to this mechanical marvel's ability to make complex computations that allows it be called the most accurate mechanical lunar phase watch ever.
The record indicator for the phases of the moon, however, is mounted on a mechanical movement that is manually wound. This movement is also distinguished by the addition of a secondary power source: the remontoire d’egalite. This feature provides constant force to the escapement. As can be seen, the only features supported are the phases of moon and the hours, minutes, and seconds. This is also visible on the silver face, which has an opening to reveal the used remontoire. The watch is capable of running for 78-hours once fully wound. The watch is housed in a small oval red gold case. The limited edition watch by Andreas Strehler costs just over $100,000 and is only made in 20 pieces.
U-Boat Replica WatchesAnother record is set by the second timekeeper pre-selected in this category, the U-Boat Replica Watches. The most complex U-Boat Replica Watches watch to date, this incredible achievement includes a tourbillion, and even more impressive, a power reserve of up to 50 days.Omega Replica This is a result that has never been achieved before in the world of horology. This hand-wound watch movement is composed of 637 pieces, including 11 barrels arranged in a spiral column. Its massive power storage is exactly this solution.
The name of this timepiece indicates that it was inspired by automotive industry or, more specifically, an engine from a sports vehicle. U-Boat Replica Watches's piece is quite unique, with barrels at the centre and an unconventional digital display to show the time. It also has a large tourbillion cage. The U-Boat Replica Watches MP05 Laferrari has a large titanium case in an irregularly shaped shape. The limited edition is 50 pieces and costs around $315,000.
