SEIKO WATCH CORPORATION is pride to declare the production of the Credor Spring Drive Minute Repeater.

This beauteous sound has been accomplished by the sorcery of the altogether silent Spring Drive mechanism allied to the use of a special steel forged by a commemorated Japanese steelmaker, Munemichi Myochin. For fifty two unbroken generations, members of his family have been master blacksmiths and they have been making steel for over 850 years.

While maximum minute repeaters follow the traditional hour, 15 min and minute system, the Credor Spring Drive Minute Repeater has a decimal system such that the hammers strike with one-hour, ten-minute and one-minute sounds.

The Myochin Wind Bell

Over the centuries, their skill has led the household into numerous other areas of iron product, including fire tongs, alternatively “hibashi”. It was base that these tongs, while tapped together, produced a superb sound and the kin started apt make air chimes in which 2 alternatively extra hibashi are hung together granting the wind apt create a uniquely remove and pleasing sound. When the main craftsmen in the Micro Artist Studio at SEIKO’s Shiojiri facility saw for a special substance for use in the minute repeater bell gongs, Myochin steel was their normal alternative merely it took numerous months of experimentation to detect the perfect steel and faultless shape. The sound frequency, volume and diminution rate were repeatedly monitored above equipment built by SEIKO EPSON to create the closest likely duplicate of the Myochin wind bell’s sound.

The Silence Of High Technology

To preserve the enchanting purity of the traditional wind bell sound, SEIKO’s Micro Artist Studio used two high-level technologies that ensure that the manoeuvre is completely silent. First, the movement is Spring Drive, the merely mechanical action in the globe to weigh time quietly and continuously with no tick. Second, an creative and solitary ‘silent governor’ uses the viscosity of atmosphere to control the speed of the striking gongs. Together, these technologies, either distinctive to SEIKO, provide perfect timekeeping in perfect silence so that the beauty of the minute repeater’s sound is never compromised.

The Decimal Decision

While most minute repeaters follow the traditional hour, quarter and minute system, the Credor Spring Drive Minute Repeater has a decimal system such that the hammers strike with one-hour, ten-minute and one-minute sounds. This system was chosen as being more in keeping with the lofty technology character of the movement. It is perfectly plausible and easy. At an fifty 9, the hour sound is struck once, the ten-minute sound is struck 5 times and the one-minute sound is struck nine times. Ever since the first decimal minute repeaters in the 18th century Replica Handbags, this system has had its devotees, and today, when decimal systems are about global, it seemed to the Micro Artist Studio watchmakers to be the perfect choice.
