Encino Skrev:

baun Skrev:Tidsmåling i timer, minutter og sekunder er basis. Alt det kommer oven i det er komplikationer (undtagen COSC certificering). Dato, dag, power reserve, måne faser, chronograffunktion osv. Men visse komplikationer er blevet så almindelige at de ikke regnes for noget særligt. dato fx.

En trejde mening

Jeg tænkte ikke så meget på hvad jeg synes er komplikationer, men mere på hvad der defineres som komplikationer i opslagsværker mv.


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In horology (study of clocks), complication refers to any feature in a timepiece beyond the simple display of hours, minutes, and seconds.

A timepiece indicating only hours, minutes, and seconds is otherwise known as a simple movement. Common additions such as day/date displays, chronographs, and automatic winding mechanisms are usually not sufficient to permit a movement to be called complicated. Moreover, that a watch movement may be a Certified Chronometer does not itself count as a complication.

The more complications in a watch, the more difficult it is to design, create, assemble, and repair. A typical date-display chronograph may have up to 250 parts, while a particularly complex watch may have a thousand or more parts. Watches with several complications are referred to as grandes complications.

The initial ultra-complicated watches appeared due to watchmakers' ambitious attempts to unite a great number of functions in a case of a single timepiece. The mechanical clocks with a wide range of functions, including astronomical indications, suggested ideas to the developers of the first pocket watches. As a result, as early as in the 16th century, the horology world witnessed the appearance of numerous complicated, and even ultra-complicated, watches.

Ultra-complicated watches are produced in strictly limited numbers, with some built as unique instruments. Some watchmaking companies known for making ultra-complicated watches are Breguet, Patek Philippe, and Vacheron Constantin.[1]

Jeg mener det er analog til hvad jeg har læst i diverse bøger om ure. Og jeg mener endda at visse steder figurerer det at et ur er automatisk også som en komplikation. Og det var vist også ganske kompliceret da det var nyt - og sådan er der jo så meget der er kompliceret i en tid og let 50 år senere.
