Title: Damasko have been busy... DK14 and DK15
Post by: hanz079 on March 30, 2012, 07:21:50 AM
Seems like Damasko have been busy lately...
New models DK14 and DK15

Not my taste though... prefer central sweeping seconds hand.

I would have preferred a smaller seconds subdial and not a big one that "eats" the numerals 8 and 10.

Agreed!
Small sec hands would look good.
Whats the movement inside this thing?

Movement is Damasko's in house movement A35-1 using Silicon Spring and DLC escapement... lucrication free...

Be warned though, this model is priced similar to the other Damasko in-house movement model DK10 and DK11...
So we're looking at above rm10k a pop...  ::)

Since it's using silicon hairspring, i guess it will still be antimagnetic.

Transparent caseback, still got Anti-magnetic??? but I like the case back, not the front tough...10k a pop, so mine can sell higher liao  ::)

The only parts that gets magnetized and affect timekeeping is the hairspring...
If the hairspring already made by silicon, which has no magnetic properties, I guess that effectively makes the watch antimagnetic...
My opinion lah...

Some ppl dun understand why the Rolex Milgauss is advertised as antimagnetic when in actual fact, all Rolex watches using the new Parachrom Bleu Hairspring is antimagnetic.

Small second at 6 will be much better looking to my taste

Antimagnetic case no longer needed now

Rolek tend to overengineer things mah. Hmm I was wondering what happend if other part other than the hairspring got magnetised? Will they affect the timekeeping?

Actually, pallet fork, escape wheel or other steel component could get magnetized as well but the affect less the accuracy of the watch.
The faraday cage in the Milgauss act as extra protection in case of exposure to a strong magnetic force.

I still think the second dial look weird, somehow out of place. It's too big i reckon.
