General Purpose- To demonstrate how an Omega Watch is made

Intro: Today I’m going to demonstrate how the inside of an Omega watch functions, the Co-Axial Chronometer-The organ determines the frequency of the movement through regular Oscillators. The Co-Axial Escapement wheel & pallet fork interrupt the rotation of the gear train & send impulses to the organ gear train transmits energy to the Co-Axial escapement & turns the hands of the Omega watch Solid Banking movement of the pallet fork is limited on either sides by the Solid Bank pallet & fork bridge.

Main Support #1

The OMEGA Co-Axial calibres were built to provide working conditions to the Co-Axial escapement. The components consists of a balance roller carrying a pallet and an impulse pin, an anchor with 3 pallets and a 3 level Co-Axial escapement wheel comprising the Co-Axial wheel, the Co-Axial pinion and the gearing/transmission pinion which is connected to the intermediary wheel and the gear train is adjustment is made by micro screws embedded in a circular balance wheel. This design improves shock resistance & avoids the disturbances caused by the balance spring.

Main Support #2

The technology is complex but there are some impressive advantages to the design when it is compared with the Swiss lever escapement: energy has to be transmitted to the oscillator that maintains it frequency. In a Swiss lever escapement involves the wheel tooth sliding along the inclined surface of the pallet. The sliding movement generates friction making optimal lubrication vital if the escapement is to function correctly. The OMEGA Co-Axial escapement is used in conjunction with a free sprung-balance.

Main Support #3

The quality is a hallmark of every watch all materials used in the creation of each component- from the smallest screw in the movement to the metal used in the cases- are

    There has been a couple of speculation about the reasons for our failing sales. One reason is because of our advertising. Some think that the advertisement of our product is not being recognized by the consumers. Others think it is because our products are not being made by quality products. After careful review of the response to advertising, the perception about chronometers, and the consumers’ profiles, I have viewed that our reason for low sales is not because of advertising but because of the watches being rejected by SOCC. The watches are failing at least three of the tests by SOCC. In order to decrease the rejection of the test to less than 10%, I have done some research on different machineries that would help improve the passing of the tests.…

    The gear mechanism used in supporting the motion of the three wheels not only ensures its stability and safety of system but also provides smoothness in motion. Modification has been done from previous designs of straight frame to curved frames, since the straight wheel was took more thrust to tilt the wheel frame to engage next planetary wheel therefore to avoid those sudden jerks in motion the length of the wheel frame has been shortened and curved so as to provide smoothness and avoid even the slightest risk of failure of system. Now there is no chance of colliding with the stairs during its motion. Overall all the chances of failures or which might have prohibited the smooth mobility of the wheel chair have been removed as much as possible.…

    Today, a wristwatch is considered as much of a status symbol as a device to tell time. In an age when cell phones and digital pagers display tiny quartz clocks, the mechanical wristwatch has slowly become less of an object of function and more a piece of modern culture. Walk into the boardroom of any Fortune 500 company and you’re likely to see dozens of prestigious wristwatches, including such names as Rolex, Vacheron Constantine, Frank Muller, Jaeger-LeCoultre and even Patek Philippe. However, this was not always the case. Less than 100 years ago, no self-respecting gentleman would be caught dead wearing a wristwatch. In those days of yore, real men carried pocket watches, with a gold half-hunter being the preferred status symbol of the time—no pun intended. Wristlets, as they were called, were reserved for women, and considered more of a passing fad than a serious timepiece. In fact, they were held in such disdain that many a gentlemen were actually quoted to say they “would sooner wear a skirt as wear a wristwatch”. The established watch making community looked down on them as well. Because of their size, few believed wristlets could not be made to achieve any level of accuracy, nor could they withstand the basic rigors of human activity. Therefore, very few companies produced them in quantity, with the vast majority of those being small ladies’ models, with delicate fixed wire or chain-link bracelets. This all started to change in the nineteenth century, when soldiers discovered their usefulness during wartime situations. Pocket watches were clumsy to carry and thus difficult to operate while in combat. Therefore, soldiers fitted them into primitive “cupped” leather straps so they could be worn on the wrist, thereby freeing up their hands during battle. It is believed that Girard-Perregaux equipped the German Imperial Naval with similar pieces as early as the 1880s,which they ore on their wrists while synchronizing naval attacks, and…
