MCT Sequential Two S200 Watch
In March 2014, the new MCT Sequential Double S200 watch was built on a legacy of several years of MCT replica order. As one of our most popular new watches at the 2014 Basel International Watch & Jewellery Show, we are delighted to be able to experience this new, highly wearable and exotic luxury watch.
I remember the time when the first mechanical billboards appeared in my city, and the extent to which they surprised me with clever triangle blinds, allowing three different advertisements to be displayed in extremely limited space. Although this idea may make me feel more enjoyable than I should admit, I remember to say to myself: "Why didn't I think of this?"
Many years later, I found myself asking the same question again, because in 2010, MCT (or contemporary manufacturers) took the concept of blinds to a completely different level, putting four very complex and fully mechanical blinds into the order. An S100 tries to display time in a way we have never seen it in a watch. At the 2014 Baselworld Watch & Jewellery Show, we experienced the Sequential Two, the latest and most wearable reinterpretation of MCT's signature time control equipment, and saw that it offers many more popular than its predecessors. improvement of.
The Sequential Two S200 works in the same way as its predecessors. It contains a minute hand that does exactly what we want: an index pointing to the perimeter of the dial. However, just one hour through the "C" shaped platform (shown above, with the company name), quickly rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise to display the next set of blinds, showing the correct amount. Upcoming time We have a minute hand that rotates clockwise in the normal direction, and the next hour will show up where we usually call the previous blind.
To give a more practical example, on the image above, the time is 12:23. When the minute hand reaches 60, three-quarters of the arch will protrude to the left. Note that the blinds still show "9" and will rotate to "1" when the minute hand advances toward the end of the hour. The movement has four sets of blinds, each with three numbers.michele watch deco
It sounds straightforward, and achieving all of this at the micromechanical level is equally challenging, with each component operating reliably in the limited space provided by the watch. It is precisely when so many works are animated throughout the day that the power reserve of the mainspring has changed from an important aspect to the main source of the problem. The friction that exists anywhere in the component movement requires more power than the usual train, giving or taking some complications.
Despite this, MCT's efforts are still worthwhile, because in the entire 40-hour power reserve, the clever shutter system plus the large minute hand finally created a dial that was very clear even after a quick view of the dial. However, due to this, it is difficult to understand why they chose to have no indicators at the four positions where the screws are set to the fixed plates. It makes the exact time in these four "corners" quite difficult, and there is almost no aesthetic advantage.
Unlike most highly complex watches that show most of the mechanical complexity on the side of the dial, we only have a more humble sight, once we put the situation around the watch. Even for the well-trained eyes of experienced watch enthusiasts, what makes MCT more entertaining on the back of the case is the addition of a sturdy 18k gold micro-rotor to this internally designed movement. Even less complex movements are rare. Please note that the image you see here is a prototype version of the watch, and some of the bridges in motion are not yet complete.
In addition, they chose not to place specially executed decorations on all parts, such as hollow main barrel bridges and balance cocks, as well as beveled faces and hand-polished edges of all structural components. The result is that even if the time is displayed in a traditional way, there is no shameful movement.u boat chimera replica
Fortunately, the case of sequence two is circular, and this shape looks more suitable for circular motion than the rectangular case of the sequence One S100 and S110. We believe that this more traditional shape is very well matched to the highly complex dial, especially considering the slightness provided by this initial common casing - although important adjustments. For 2014, this novel MCT gets rid of the bezel we know and replaces it with a noble dome sapphire crystal, allowing you to appreciate the blinds even at very low angles.
Another feature I like is the design of the lug, welded to this moving circular dish-shaped bracket, strangely growing from its periphery and disappearing beneath it. It's an obvious analogy, it does look like a UFO, not too hard to be one - I can appreciate it.
The case has a diameter of 44.6 mm and a height of 14.5 mm; taking into account the acceptable number of additional louvers and C-platforms stacked on top of the base movement. Anything thicker will eject this piece into a beautiful but rarely worn category, and the actual wear resistance will be greatly sacrificed for fancy movement. Fortunately, this is not the case, and the precisely integrated miniature rotor certainly plays an important role in it.
MCT's Sequential Two is a smart move for the brand, combining its iconic and now unique movement design with a more wear-resistant, more refined case that makes the elegant dial look more balanced. Made of 18K white gold and rose gold, the former gives us a deeper impression with its bright red minute hand, which further enhances legibility; one of the key factors behind all the concepts of Sequential.breguet classique replica
