New Luxury Watches Report: Sources in the family plot of the factory's Rise and Fall of the major movement.

Product family is often the early works of other well-known movement watch factory use, instead of the standard models of small three-pin, watches became popular in the 1930s had already appeared, through continuous improvement, with a different style in different watch in style. Vacheron Constantin in the 1930s to the 1970s, the small three-pin of its classic watches are using the product family do a small three-pin modification and restructuring of the movement, but it is worth noting that, when the quality movement, only the VC and AP in use, both at home watch factory is integrated major shareholder, this way to become their own special movement of the. AP later sell shares, Vacheron Constantin has developed its own cal.1400 movement, under its brand watch the little three-pin began to use the brand made the movement of small three-pin models, and AP movement in a self-developed Cal.3090 After nor re-used factory from Jaeger-LeCoultre watch movements of small three-pin. 60 years were the heyday of the small second hand models, was developed by a small family plot second hand movement in addition to the watch factory, there IWC has used this movement. In the 1990s, when mechanical watch again popular in the market, this section has also been movement by several other well-known brands.

Stand the test of time long
  
While this product family for 20 years since the widespread use of the little three-pin movement, not only in shape and classical, is also very strong in performance, lean and durable, even eighty years ago, the design of the movement, after a time the ever-changing, which still remains the prototype, and is widely used by well-known brands, to the still running smoothly and swatch. So that those who pass on enough to wear the watch handed down, regardless of the pragmatic function or tabulation process, the division is the ideal form of ownership.
  
Nearly a century passed Breguet Cal.818 movement
  
BREGUET the old brand, the hands of the most basic refining its early primary three-pin watch is equipped While this movement, the number Cal.818. In addition to the unique shape of the face plate, the surface of rhodium-plated movement with stripes across the Geneva-like corrugated grinding, sanding board with fish-scale pattern, independent of the edge of the plywood, but also has a deal for the chamfer polishing, while the use of traditional Y-MA-type escapement structure, the cowboys were also made on the chamfer polishing.

Breguet Cal.818 meticulous workmanship movement
  
Movement of the pointer inside the rod adjustment mechanism is very delicate workmanship; forward section of the size of the drum, was designed under the board. In addition, non-return mechanism for winding strip mining reed, when the sound of a larger article to forward, this is a very unique design, but may be material in the process of dealing with less than ideal process, a few broken cases will occur, resulting in in a wound can not. Of course, the watch will fault when the organic components, another part can be, but if we can non-return mechanism to block steel processing, leaving the site when the reed thin, so that the voice of the winding would be more soft, broken also decreases the probability; because of the winding strip of non-return reed mechanism design, as early as 100 years ago has appeared in the watch, unless the human factor, or very little chance of breaking. While this movement can be modified if the double-layer alloy springs for the abolition of speed needle, regardless of weight or make heavy use of screws to fine-tune the speed of today's technology to help to improve the accuracy of balance wheel can definitely make this movement to achieve the most perfection.
  
Primary three-pin charm a long long time
  
The most basic entry-watch collection is the small three-pin, it is also the most engaging and the standard models. Most of the small second hand was placed at 6 o'clock, when the minute hand is located in the center of the face plate, such a configuration, it seems most pleasing to the eye. Since ancient times, this design did not have too many changes over the past 200 years the years, placed in the pocket watch from the large size, change into when worn on the wrist, not the same size is small, thin, but it escapement structure, not much has changed for centuries, from theory to the mechanical structure, so that the position of gear, and even plates of little change in road style. In addition to scale

Inch size, thickness and different, but almost every brand of small three-pin watches are very similar, but the performance of precision and polish in the production process, and the strengths, almost every brand has its own style of board road classic design continuity. Production of a robust and accurate watch movements can accompany life watch fans, I believe this is the ideal to all watch engineers.
