A timepiece that has a lot to say, without being too loud. For the 10th anniversary of the Wempe Glashütte I / SA bracelet chronometer, the Hamburg company is launching a world champion with the Zeitmeister Jahreskalender. This calendar edition, limited to 100 copies, is not only the most complicated watch in the collection, but is also the world's first annual calendar with a German Chronometer certification. For the businessman with a sense of classic elegance and sensible investments, he combines everything to be always up-to-date. In addition to the central hour, minute and seconds display, the automatic system also provides four additional calendar details - the date, the weekday and the month as well The lunar phase.
Characterful but unobtrusive design
In order to offer a round-the-clock service to a mere 42 millimeters diagonal, a clear design is particularly important. The elegant Zeitmeister Jahreskalender uses separate auxiliary dials, so-called totalizers. The date is read at 3 o'clock, the weekday at 9 o'clock and above the month at 12 o'clock. Behind a dial is the midnight blue moon phase with golden starry sky, revealing not only the current state of the moon, but also whether it increases or decreases. The moon phase is placed at 6 o'clock and 6 o'clock, respectively - the moment when the morning or evening hours raise the moon in the sky.
The four calendar adverts in the middle of the dial serve the balanced overall picture. In addition, the readability is promoted by light-dark contrasts: all the times are printed black on the matt-silvered dial. Haptic Steel Stabindexe refer to the hours, the Dauphine hands are polished steel and the domed sapphire glass is anti-reflective on one side.
An annual calendar that combines functionality and enthusiasm
The company decided to announce the calendar data on pointers, since these have a good advantage as well as the good readability: compared to the often used date dials, pointers require less energy, which is why the automatic movement has a comfortable 42-hour running reserve at a frequency of 28,800 half-cycles per hour Hour (4 Hz), guaranteed. In addition, the caliber automatically takes into account all month lengths, except for the transition from February to March, which can be quickly corrected with only one handgrip.
To meet the Wempe requirements, a tried and tested Swiss automatic movement is optimized in glash nut production, assembled with the calendar module and highly precise. Equipped with a second stop and a KIF impact protection, the caliber finally works so precisely that it complies with the strict German Chronometer test according to DIN 8319 with its average gait deviation of only two seconds per day. The Chronometer certificate allows to rightly claim that the Zeitmeister Jahreskalender is one of the most precise of its kind on the current world market.
The distinctive, 42-millimeter timer housing made of stainless steel with deep-drawn horns and rounded flanks was chosen for high carrying and operating comfort: four separate quick-correctors are flush with the surface on the housing side, which requires the calendar to be adjusted only once a year . The housing base is screwed. He has a relief engraving of the Glashütter Sternwarte and the numbering of the limited 100 copies. The watch is sealed to 5 bar water-tight.
The elegant Zeitmeister calendar is carried on a hand-sewn brown bracelet made of full-cut croc leather with a folding clasp made of stainless steel.
