The launch of a new Audemars Piguet Suprême Oak Concept is always quite of an event. Since 2002, the collection has been a platform of experimentation for Audemars Piguet, blending innovative technical solutions with avant-garde design. Good example, the new ROC Split-Seconds GMT ref. 26650TI combines a new automatic rattrapante chronograph movement with dual-time function and huge date, a brand new case size and an interchangeable strap system.
If the chronograph is one of the most revered complications, the rattrapante or split-seconds function takes it to a whole new level. This intricate mechanism is one of the most difficult to make. Split-second chronographs feature two superimposed seconds hands that time two events of different lengths simultaneously. One hand (the rattrapante) can be stopped to display a good intermediate time, while the other one keeps running. A second push on the rattrapante pusher allows the actual stopped hands to talk (rattraper in French) with the moving palm.
This complication has been extremely rare within Audemars Piguet’s wristwatch offerings with only one example documented before 1996, a watch purchased from 1949 that now belongs to a prestigious private collection. The actual function was then included in three muchos complications (1996 Grande Complication, 1997 Polish Oak Grande Complication, 2013 Royal Oak Offshore Voluminoso Complication). And, mention must be made of the particular Royal Maple Concept Laptimer. If this watch developed with Michael Schumacher is not per se a split-second chronograph, it is capable of measuring consecutive lap times within the racetrack.
The new Audemars Piguet Royal Pine Concept Split-Seconds premieres the brand-new motion combining any flyback chronograph with split-seconds, a GREENWICH MEAN TIME (GMT) function and a large date. Its open-worked dial gives a glimpse associated with its spectacular architecture while reinforcing the modern and technical character of the watch. The particular red and yellow accents, respectively marking the wathe and GMT (GREENWICH MEAN TIME) functions, and the tachymeter scale transferred onto the inner bezel add a nice touch. As its reference number suggests, the new calibre 4407 of this ROC Split-Seconds is derived from typically the calibre 4400, the brand’s in-house integrated chronograph first seen within the Code 11. 59 collection. As such, it is a high-end, modern construction with a column wheel and a vertical clutch. Still, it has been substantially re-engineered to allow the addition of often the rattrapante functionality, specifically for energy management. As well as unlike the exact calibre 4400, the hairspring features a Breguet overcoil.
One of the highlights of the modern-looking movements can be seen via the blue caseback. Typically the split-second system has been partly integrated inside the centre from the platinum turning rotor (that AP aptly describes as semi-peripheral). This particular allowed the very AP watchmakers to keep the main movement thinner and to offer an unimpeded view in the split-second steering wheel and clamp, under the x-shaped bridges at the centre on the movement. All of this while offering the practicality regarding automatic rotating.
The Audemars Piguet Souverain Oak Idea Split-Seconds GREENWICH MEAN TIME also introduces a new 43mm case dimension. Fashioned out of titanium, having a mix of satin-brushed, sandblasted as well as polished surfaces, it is probably one of the most complex cases ever produced by the brand. Its dynamic and angular architecture features ceramic push-pieces, multiple inserts and guards. The rattrapante push-piece is located at 9 o’clock (a nod to the 2015 Royal Oak Principle Laptimer). Often the GMT corrector is a push-piece co-axial towards the screw-locked overhead.
