High Life

品 136 #8 2017 年 5 月 HIGH LIFE #8 May 2017 137 为 庆祝品牌诞生 185 周年，浪琴表推出了全新 Record 系 列腕表。该系列秉承源自瑞士索伊米亚的精纯制表传统， 融合经典优雅的设计和优越的品质，旨在成为浪琴表旗下的标 志性杰作。Record 系列因在机芯中运用单晶硅游丝而备受瞩 目，所有表款均被被瑞士天文台认证为精密计时器。 Record 系列卓越品质的核心要素，归功于协调腕表运作 的游丝。游丝与摆轮部件相配合，围绕着平衡位置往返振动， 须保持极为稳定的振荡周期。然而，磁场、温度以及因每年上 亿次运动而产生的磨损等因素，都会影响游丝的顺畅运转。 为提高精度并延长寿命，浪琴表决定在优质的机芯中加入 单晶硅游丝。轻盈的单晶硅不可氧化，因此可规避标准温度波 动、磁场以及大气压力的影响。Record 系列的所有表款均获 瑞士天文台认证，得以在表盘刻上Chronometer（精密计时器） 的标记。所有经认证的自动上链机械机芯，均须通过这一独立 机构的逐枚检验，象征着其纯正、非凡的品质。 C elebrating its 185th anniversary, Longines is taking the opportunity to present its new Record collection. In the Saint-Imier company’s purest watchmaking tradition, these automatic models combine classic elegance and excellence, aspiring to become the spearheads of the brand. These timepieces, whose movement includes a single- crystal silicon balance spring with unique properties, are certified as a “chronometer” by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute. Behind this ambitious profile is an exceptional heart, expressive and emblematic of Longines’ watchmaking expertise. This heart is the balance spring, the watch’s regulating organ. Coupled to the balance, it oscillates around its equilibrium position, ensuring its fundamental purpose: to beat with extreme regularity. Yet between magnetism, temperature variations and wear and tear (many hundreds of millions of “breaths” per year), everything seems to be working against its smooth operation. For increased accuracy and longevity, Longines decided to add single-crystal silicon balance spirals to its best movements–aresistantand lightmaterial that is inoxidizable and unaffected by standard temperature variations, magnetic fields and atmospheric pressure. Equipped with automatic calibres, all of the pieces were tested one by one by this neutral independent organization and can thus display the “Chronometer” label stamped on their dial. Bestowed with significant added value, these certified chronometers achieve the status of authentic, exceptional timepieces.
