The Four Anatomical Stages

PHASE 01CQ-01 SPECIFICATION

The Swiss Anchor Escapement

Impulse delivery at 4Hz with synthetic corundum pallet stones

The beating heart of mechanical chronometry. Each oscillation releases the 15-tooth escapement wheel via a micro-machined anchor fork fitted with synthetic ruby stones. The impulse jewel transfers kinetic force into the balance roller with zero rebound friction.

Deeply beveled pallet bridge with hand-chamfered internal angles

Epilame-treated escape wheel teeth ensuring lifetime lubrication stability

Laser-balanced anchor fork with micro-counterweights

PHASE 02CQ-01 SPECIFICATION

Flying Tri-Axial Tourbillon Cage

Complete multi-dimensional nullification of Earth's gravitational field

Invented by Abraham-Louis Breguet in 1801, elevated through contemporary aerospace engineering. The entire regulating organ rotates across three distinct planes: the inner cage revolves once every 15 seconds, the intermediate cage every 30 seconds, and the outer titanium carriage every 60 seconds.

Ultra-low inertia architecture reducing torque draw from the gear train by 34%

Counterweighted with 18k gold balance masses calibrated to ±0.01 milligrams

Cantilevered flying mount eliminating upper bridge visual obstruction

PHASE 03CQ-01 SPECIFICATION

Coaxial Twin Barrels & Gear Train

Constant-torque energy transmission over 72 autonomous hours

To eliminate isochronous error as the mainspring winds down, Calibre CQ-01 deploys two coaxial barrels connected in series. A Geneva stopwork cross limits the spring travel to its strictly linear elastic tension zone, providing unwavering amplitude for 72 continuous hours.

DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) interior barrel coating eliminating lubrication decay

Concentric circular graining (colimaçonnage) on both ratchet wheels

PHASE 04CQ-01 SPECIFICATION

Quantum Balance & Laser Regulator

Monocrystalline silicon hairspring with zero magnetic vulnerability

Traditional steel hairsprings are prone to magnetic corruption and thermal expansion. Calibre CQ-01 introduces a proprietary DRIE-etched monocrystalline silicon (SiO₂) hairspring with an integrated terminal curve, immune to magnetic fields up to 15,000 Gauss and laser-tuned to within 0.2 microns.

Terminal curve geometry derived from relativistic fluid dynamics equations

Laser-etched stroboscopic markings for micron-level frequency calibration

Variable inertia rim allowing precision adjustment without disturbing the active hairspring length

Quantum Metallurgy & Materials Science

MONOCRYSTALLINE SILICON (SiO₂)

DRIE-etched hairspring with integrated terminal curve. Zero magnetic hysteresis and thermal coefficient compensation ensuring identical amplitude at -20°C and +60°C.

GRADE 5 TITANIUM (Ti-6Al-4V)

Vacuum-arc remelted titanium selected for maximum strength-to-weight ratio. The outer tourbillon cage weighs only 0.28 grams, reducing kinetic drain on the gear train.

SYNTHETIC CORUNDUM (Al₂O₃)

43 functional friction-free jewel bearings cut from monocrystalline ruby boules, polished with 0.05-micron diamond compound to reduce escapement energy loss.
