" Because these works of art have a little 'of meaning in indicating the time and I think the machines are, however, can be maintained for a very long time, which is why I try not to use materials such as selenium or ceramics . "(Thomas Prescher - AHCI watchmaker independent of Twann - Switzerland - read this link to the rest of the interview)

Just think, by the way of innovative materials and high-tech two craftsmen and artists of the time measurement. Roger and Thomas have two personalities diametrically opposed conservative and literally sewn to the tradition of the English school (Smith is the disciple of George Daniels) the first, classic - but bold and "reckless" - the mechanical view of the second. However, both those who are not married by now some of the proven trends in the watch of the third millennium.

For hundreds of years, when it came to building a timepiece, brass, silver, gold and steel materials were never challenged.

Daring, the first cases to look for an alternative was - well almost fifty years ago - Rado , later a pioneer in the development of ceramic speakers.
The PVD (Phisical Vapour Deposition), which today is never lacking in a line of sports watches, was tried in 1972 by Porsche Design, which together with partners in 1980 IWC created the first watch in the world with a titanium case.

But we are talking about the '70s and '80s: a long time ago now. Today mushrooming alloys and treatments that combine together many different metals. True, in many cases just treated DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) for triple Vickers - unit of measurement of hardness of a metal.

Well i have 10,000 Vickers - coincidentally - the Rado V10K , perhaps the most resistant watch in the world, against about 1,000 stainless steel 316L used in the field. Not to mention the Grade 5 Titanium , put on a silver platter to the table on the watch for the biomedical industry.

Special materials for crates, collars or particular aesthetic, yet I could list many: Urwerk ALTIN ??uses for boxes, steel with elements of Aluminum, Titanium and Nitrile. Audemars Piguet Carbon uses a truly unique: an isotropic material consisting of carbon nanofibers injected under high pressure of 7500 N / cm 2 at a temperature of 2400 ° C in order to obtain a material with mechanical stability, physics and chemistry in all directions.

Finally Richard Mille. The RM 038 is the case of a special alloy called AZ91 magnesium composed of 90%! And 'lightweight and highly corrosive. For those who want a piece of Haute Horlogerie "capable of floating" is the famous RM 027 Rafa Nadal: 20 grams - strap included - thanks to Lital ® a lithium alloy containing aluminum, copper, magnesium and zirconium.

Technologies but are they really necessary? We are going to face a nuclear fusion in the open and we need appropriate equipment? Let's hope not. Of course, the characteristics set forth by these materials are staggering.

Watches in nickel alloys and as many poor have crossed centuries coming to us in excellent condition: for those immortal lives today we expect from " Highlander "? We hope.

For mechanical movements, the high-tech materials may indeed represent a turning point. Here, if the Rado was for aesthetics, the pioneer is ever named Ulysse Nardin . If I had the foresight that Rolf Schnyder - the man who led the way until last April (unfortunately that time has left us cut off from a short illness), when about ten years ago - already sixty-five - launched the development from scratch escapement in silicon technology, which sees many brands now use this solution: recently, Patek Philippe has openly admitted.

The special materials in mechanical gauges today can do amazing things. Think MIKROTIMER Flying 1000 Concept Chronograph . For TAG Heuer, Atokalpa - group company Parmigiani Fleurier - has created a high-frequency coil to allow the chronograph to "vibrate" - even if you can call it - to 3,600,000 alternations / hour, or 500 Hz that Caliber also lacks the bar!

Thus ends the list of "wizardry" - to use an obsolete term and maybe a little 'old - that the special high-tech materials and have managed to make today a mechanism to: actions, calculations performed by a microchip.

Like a refrain that again, back to the beginning point of the article: Roger and Thomas will be right?
We believe we will never know.
In reply, giving more than a mere opinion, will once again be " on time "in person .
