Quinting 3-hand watch Transparency
In 2004, after 4 years of additional research and development, the Quinting manufacture revolutionized once again with success the watch-making industry by launching the 3-hand (hours, minutes and seconds) transparent watch. This quality fashionable watch that captivates by its creative beauty and singularity is addressed to sophisticated, self-confident and stylish men and women that treat watches as defining personal style object and not as simple timekeeper.
This time-only model features a new patented movement : the Transparency. This is the first movement in the world with counter balancing forces invented for the seconds hand. This watch composed of 186 parts houses 9 perfectly parallel sapphire layers, 4 of which are mobile.
So, why there are four moving disks for only three hands ? The second hand needs to rotate much quicker than hour and minute hands. The Quinting movement is made of sapphire which is mineral, so heavy material. If there were only one disk rotating at the seconds hand speed, the correct movement of this hand would not be possible. That is why another sapphire disk turning at the same speed but in opposite direction was placed to balance the forces.
The Transparency watch, as see-through and revolutionary as the Quinting Mysterious Chronograph itself is available in both men`s and women`s models. With a diameter slightly smaller than the Mysterious Chronograph, it respects the purified and air lines of its elder and shows its luminous transparency, unique at Quinting. Creative, audacious, flamboyant and perfectly aesthetic, the Transparency catches the imagination of both aficionados and connoissers looking for something unique.
