Clearly this Clerc watch has a spacey look. A lot of their more "ambitious" pieces tend to have a style that looks like something out of a sci-fi movie prop bin. This one is actually a bit more down to earth compared to what I have seen in the past. As though Clerc is calming down a bit and realizing the world is looking for more subtle avant garde style cues these days. If you make a watch that looks like a time machine – it better damn operate as one. Wow, I just realized how utterly ironic that statement was.
Clerc joins the growing number of watch brands that are using silicium (silicon) in their movements. The most popular metal part to replace with silicium is the escapement. This is a small gear-like wheel that is connected to the balance wheel and is responsible for moving power to the movement. Silicium gives this part ultra high endurance and precision. The basically means that the part doesn’t wear (like ever), doesn’t need any lubrication, and is very consistent which leads to overall improvements in rate results in the movement (accuracy gains). Basically, technology permitting,Omega Watches Replica, silicium is more or less better than metal. Technology is not entirely permitting today, and may actually never be. Not because we can’t do it, but needs of the watch industry alone are not enough to advance silicium research. That is in the hands of the computer industry – who might abandon silicon in the next several years in favor of something else. Anyhow, to make a long story short (more…)
