The laptimer complication you've described represents an extraordinary milestone in the world of watches, evolving the classic split-seconds chronograph. By activating the pusher at 9 o'clock while the chronograph is running, one hand instantly resets to zero to start timing a new lap, while the other halts, allowing the previous lap time to be recorded. With a subsequent push, the stopped hand restarts while the running hand halts—offering limitless lap recording capabilities.
Dedicated to Formula One icon Michael Schumacher, this innovation is a vital tool for racing, enabling timekeepers to monitor two race cars simultaneously.
The movement behind this masterpiece is a horological marvel. Developed over five years, it features 413 components and three column wheels. The case, equally impressive, draws inspiration from race cars, blending advanced materials: forged carbon for the main body, titanium for the bezel and case back, ceramic pushers, and pink gold accents for the crown and start/reset buttons. This remarkable watch is presented in pristine condition and comes complete with its original accessories.
由傳統的追針計時演化而來,圈速計時在高級製錶領域可說是一項跨時代的創新功能。當計時功能啟動後,按下9時位置的按把,其中一根計時秒針將瞬間歸零並重新開始計算下一圈的時間,而另一根計時秒針則同步煞停,讓操作者有餘裕記錄前一圈的時間。再按一下,則可讓停止的那根計時秒針歸零重啟,而原本在運行的另一根指針立即煞停,如此便可不斷反覆計算每一圈運動所需要的時間。專為一級方程式賽車傳奇人物Michael Schumacher打造,這項創新功能對賽車運動而言至關重要,讓車手能夠同時監測並記錄不同的圈速。
在這項傑作的背後,是愛彼歷時五年研發,由413枚零件組成,並配備三枚導柱輪的手動上弦機芯。錶殼同樣出類拔萃,汲取源自賽車車身的靈感,將高端材質合而為一,將用於車身的鍛造碳作為錶殼主體,錶圈和底蓋則採用採用鈦金屬,再加上陶瓷按把與玫瑰金色調的錶冠及計時按把。這件拍品同時還具備絕佳的品項及完整的原廠配件。
