And the maximum power reserve is 150 seconds...

Post by: shifter on March 25, 2011, 01:10:49 PM: That's just on chrono function not as main timekeeping (just 28.8k). No biggie but thanks for sharing...

+ it is just a concept. I'd like to look at a real retail offering if that ever happens...

I think the chronograph balance wheel should oscillate at 360,000 bph only.
1/100 second chronograph translates to 100 beats per second.
In 1 hour that comes up to 100 beats per second x 3600 seconds = 360,000 beats per hour.
Please correct me if I'm mistaken. :)

:Cheers:

The mikrotimer 1/100's chrono balance wheel oscillates at 360,000 vph = 100 vibrations per second.
The mikrograph flying 1000's chrono balance wheel oscillates at 3.6 million vph = 1000 vibrations per second.
This is the official Tag video... pretty cool.
