HIGH LIFE 131 三重音韵 芝柏 三问报时三轴陀飞轮腕表 为了完成这枚创意惊人的三问报时三轴陀飞轮腕表，芝柏 品牌的工程师和制表师同时担当弦乐器工匠的角色，锤炼 出这一件可以精确报时的“乐器”。制表师在表盘上创作 了一个全新的小时显示结构，以一条长形搭桥在上链表冠 的位置，把表盘一分为二，并在表盘的上半部位置腾出足 够的空间，展示整个三问报时的机械结构。 同时为了增强三问报时音量的效能，以往被放置于机 芯背面的零件，例如音锤和环状音簧，现在则被改放于前 面。当拉动表壳左侧的拉杆来启动三问报时装置时，部分 由环状音簧发出的声音，就不会再被紧贴腕表的手腕或者 主基板所吸收，而是经由五级钛金属表壳扩展开来，使音 效达到最响亮的效果。 Trebling phonology Girard-Perregaux The Minute Repeater Tri-Axial Tourbillon A gem of mechanical refinement and a true musical instrument, the Minute Repeater Tri-Axial Tourbillon was developed by the engineers and watchmakers of the ManufactureGirard-Perregaux inamanner entirelyworthy of a luthier. To free up asmuch space as possible over half of the upper disc surface and display the movement structure of the minute repeater, the masters of the Manufacture Girard-Perregaux created an original hours display and divided the space into two parts by means of a long bridge positioned in line with the winding crown. To enhance the auditory efficiency of the minute repeater, elements such as the hammers and gong- rings usually placed on the back of the movement were therefore repositioned on the front. In this way, once the repeater slide on the left of the case middle is activated, the sounds emitted by the gong-rings are no longer partially absorbed by the wrist nor by the main plate, but can instead more easily radiate towards the outside of the Grade 5 titanium case, giving the sound its full amplitude.
