完整圖錄內容
Charles Frodsham is a venerable maker of British chronometers whose pieces date back to 1834, but it wasn’t until 2018 that the brand introduced a wristwatch – 16 years in the making - whose technical prowess took the horological world by storm.
Launched in 2018 and made in-house, the Double Impulse Chronometer combines the tradition of English watchmaking with the cutting-edge modern technology of today. It is most notably the very first wristwatch to utilize the oil-free double impulse escapement mechanism. The large free-sprung balance has a self-compensating balance spring with raised terminal curve, and a proprietary shock protection system with fixed jeweled bearings.
Absolutely every component of this watch is made by Frodsham including the case and ceramic dial. The only elements from the outside are the crystals, the main and balance springs, the jewels (that are from the brand’s existing stock dating from the 1950s) and the strap, giving the term “in-house” a brand new meaning.
Only a handful of Frodsham’s Double Impulse Chronometers leave the brand’s workshops each year, with years long waiting lists. As such, the present example in stainless steel offers a unique opportunity.
