I would love one of these

um. no.

Never seen, not even know the brand.
It surely wears big

 

[Mendel272]

Too bad. The gens are cutting edge. They developed a 6.6 million vph mechanical oscillator

 

[Pix]

6.6 million is not possible... :thinking:

 

[Mendel272]

6.6 million is not possible... :thinking:

Sure it is, just not the way most watches are made. They maxed the traditional way out at 72k. They used a sonic resonator. Google bethune resonique

why..????>>>>

Who would they sell them to..???....
That's the only one ever made, and it's a glut on the market!!!
But...wait...I shouldn't sugar coat it...That's the fugliest watch I've ever seen...And I've seen a lot!!!!

 

[Mendel272]

I dont want that one, altho it is interesting
Look at their lineup. They have some really nice pieces

Hi Mendel
Pix is right !! It is no possible in a mechanical watch.
The beat for this Bethune is 36.000 bph (very high in fact !!)

Incorrect my friend

It is not impossible, for it has been done

 

[Mendel272]

And now they are talking about going as high as 20,000 hz

Of course, those are experimental. As far as production watches, I would kill for one of these

Or one of these

Yes I know, it is Ok for prototypes or experimental but not in commercial watches. The Bethune commercial have 28800 and 36000 bph

here is a video of the tag that has 3.6MM BPH really awsome. also claims to be 25 times more accurate than other watches because of the high beat rate.

I'll bet my dog turd to your dollar, that tag will need servicing after every 6 or so uses. lol Faster than a hummbird indeed.

 

[jcrry2]
