Core

The concept of "Core" draws inspiration from the gravitational field model in physics, and it echoes the watchmaking industry's development of the tourbillon to counteract gravity. It pays tribute to the numerous pioneers in physics, the human exploration and challenge on gravity, and the relentless pursuit of precision craftsmanship.

The clever design of Core's gravitational field model makes the center of the dial appear as if it is collapsing under gravity, with our in-house tourbillon movement AK-57 pulsating at the center. Based on the model design of the centripetal gravitational force , we have innovatively designed a way to read the time on the watch, adopting a planetary synchronous orbital style for time reading, where the minute and hour dials move synchronously with the central tourbillon. The four-layered dial, like the earth's surface, crust, mantle, and core, distributes layers, blending the passing of time with the rhythmic pulsation of the earth, thus transforming time from a monotonous passage into a rhythmically cosmic experience.

We have optimized and streamlined the layout of the gear train for higher scientific efficiency. Additionally, within a limited space, we put four mainspring barrels to achieve an extended 120-hour power reserve. The power is transmitted in succession through four mainspring barrels. The actual torque delivered to the escapement system always comes from the same barrel, with the subsequent barrels continuously replenishing power for this barrel, letting the movement have more stable and balanced torque.

The entire tourbillon structure has 196 parts, and the movement is composed of four main bridges and three tourbillon bridges, each bridge undergoing more than three polishing processes to present a delicate texture. We have also created a tourbillon carriage made of a lightweight titanium alloy material weighing only 0.46g, ensuring accuracy in timekeeping and reducing energy loss.

Considering comfort and convenience in wearing, we have integrated ergonomic thinking into the design, with the Core's stainless steel caseback and sapphire glass adopting a wrist-fitting curved design. After collecting wrist data from over 1000 individuals, we make the watch's base and quick-release interface have a 15° curved surface, fitting more closely to the wrist. Paired with a flexible, skin-friendly NBR rubber strap and an innovatively developed X-change lever-style quick-release system, the Core provides a comfortable and personalized wearing experience for the user."
