In watchmaking: High-frequency escapements
In the world of horology, a 10 Hz movement refers to a mechanical watch that operates at a high frequency.
- Mechanism: A watch's frequency is determined by the number of oscillations per second its balance wheel and hairspring perform. A 10 Hz movement completes 10 oscillations per second, or 72,000 vibrations per hour (vph). This is more than twice the speed of a standard 4 Hz movement.
- Purpose: The higher frequency is designed to improve the timepiece's stability and accuracy, making it less susceptible to disruptions from external movements. It also allows for a smoother movement of the seconds hand.
- Technology: Developing high-frequency movements is challenging due to increased energy consumption and friction. Watchmakers like Breguet have addressed this by incorporating lightweight silicon components and magnetic pivots.
