Damasko have been busy... DK14 and DK15
« 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.

Small sec hands would look good.

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.

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.

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.
