Limited series with 100 pieces
Chronograph : A chronograph in the modern meaning of the term, is a watch equipped with an independent needle that can be started, stop and reset to measure a time interval.
Automatique : An automatic winding watch is a mechanical watch whose reassembly is done through a mechanism that makes it possible to reset the spring of the barrel during the port of the watch. Thus the movements carried out by the bearer stores energy that activates the movement of the watch.
Tachometer : A tachometer is a measuring instrument for determining the movement speed of a moving object. On the watches, the system converts time and distance to reach the result generally expressed in kilometers / hour.
All this being recalled, you have all the elements in your hands. You have everything but you miss the essential: Ralf Tech is proud to present your new model, the WRV automatic tachymeter chronograph.
The year 2019 marks a new turning point for Ralf Tech with the arrival of the all-new WRV automatic chronograph "tachymeter" within its collection.
Highly inspired by the 1970s, the WRV is a hyphen between two eras. At the same time vintage and current, it happily marries the best of the two universes through complex and elegant curves that pay tribute to the visual codes of seventies while using today's technologies. Taking up the lines and codes of the WRV, the newcomer does not share any room. Because it is a new 100% model that was presented in Basel last March.
A new box: 43.9mm This is the diameter of the new WRV chronograph. Alternating polished and satin surfaces It hosts a crown revented at 3 o'clock (it was offset on the automatic WRV) and two pushers screwed at 2 and 4 hours. The glass located at its top 3.5mm thick measure and makes it one of the thickest of current watch production, forced sealing.
A new movement: Made in Japan, the new RT002® movement is a watchful masterpiece. This automatic chronograph movement, has 292 pieces and 34 rubies perfectly combining the mechanical watchmaking tradition and the high precision chronograph function.
IMPORTANT POINT, the chronograph activation mechanism consists of a column wheel. Considered by the industry as colors like the most coveted chronograph mechanism, the column wheel offers a very soft touch sensation thanks to its vertical clutch, which makes it much more pleasant to use than the cam lever chronograph system Horizontal used in traditional Swiss movements.
A new dial: Panda ... This well-known name of informed collectors means that, such as the pandas bear are who are black and white, with eyes and black truffle standing out on their white coat, the new WRV chronograph automatic dial is white With black meters or - and we will talk about inverted panda - black with white dials. Highly inspired by the 1960s car counters and by the chronographs of this time, the WRV automatic chronograph "tachymeter" plunges us with delight in that time when everything was allowed.
A new bezel: graduated up to 400 km / hour, the tachymetric tech of the new WRV makes it possible to measure the speed of an object on the displacement, that is to say generally an automobile ... sport especially!
A new bracelet: supported by an anthracite gray bracelet quilted with diamond pattern, the new WRV highlights the know-how of French artisans with this part sewn hand in the Jura.
A new workshop: again, Ralf Tech, French house applies to work French artisans. The new automatic chronograph WRV is therefore assembled in France and very precisely in Paris.
But even more than all these technical novelties, it is a new breath that surrounds the launch of this new WRV automatic chronograph "tachymeter". Inspired by the Universe of the Automotive Race This is the French pilot Nelson Panciacici who tested the first prototypes. Nelson Panciacici, a palmares impressive: 61 victories, 81 podiums, 38 pole positions & 46 tower records, double champion of Europe Elms, two podiums at Le Mans for Alpine and the development of the WRV automatic chronograph "tachymeter" and of His bracelet in Nubuck!
The WRV automatic chronograph "tachymeter" comes in 3 different versions, one with Panda dial and two with inverted panda dial, 2 with a 316L surgical steel case and one with black pvd coated case.
