Some time has come to giveaway a watch, and this time we've partnered with our close friends at Astor+Banks of Chicago. We reviewed their aggressively styled, armed forces influenced sport chronograph a few weeks in the past, and these days are giving you a chance to earn the PVD edition of that design. To be in the functioning, begin to see the regulations beneath and Superior LUCK!!!Become a amazing dude and comply with Astor+Banks on instagram. Also to keep up to date on future worn wound giveaways, stick to us on? Facebook,? instagram? and? twitter!To get while in the operating for that Astor+Banks Chrono S, all you should do is;Remark on this article on wornandwound. com (not the original evaluation or on any social media or other web page in which this put up could appear) prior to the giveaway is over on July seventeenth, 2014 at eleven:59pm (EST). You will need to enter a sound email address inside the remark form (if you don't use a third social gathering account, click on the d beside login). No need to say nearly anything precise in your remark, but ensure that you generate a thing (if possible anything great!). After July seventeenth a winner will likely be chosen at random and contacted by us. Moreover, the following regulations utilize. You are able to only enter when. You should comment using a legitimate e-mail handle wherever it is possible to be reached. Your comment have to be verified and authorised. You need to finish the aims to become regarded as.

Built all-around the retrograde minutes purpose, the leaping hrs system is made of a 12-link chain activated by a connecting-rod/crank as while in the HL collection. The retrograde minutes are indicated over a 180° sector of the dial. An ingenious mechanism governs the movement of the assembly with a speed control that protects the components from any shocks arising from its operation. The chain rotates the mobile bridge through 60° each hour, compensating for the effect of gravity. To provide sufficient energy, the principal barrel, wound by the automatic system, winds a second barrel, which drives the display complication.
Developed and produced by the Neuchâtel brand's own teams, this selection is the first to offer an in-house mechanical movement with automatic winding. Three models are currently available, each limited to 28 numbered timepieces: the new version HL2. 3 in titanium, the HL2. 1 in 18-carat white gold and the HL2. 2 in 18-carat 4N rose gold.
Three Patents for an exceptional timepiece
The first patent concerns the half-trailing several hours chain (as opposed to an instant system that is too fast to appreciate, or a dragging system that cannot be read correctly between the hours): every 60 minutes the chain advances in 3-4 seconds without jumps or loss of energy, making it possible to admire the beauty of the movement and its mechanisms in action.
The second patent relates to the regulating organ integrated into the mobile bridge movement. Its constantly changing position, driven by the display, compensates statistically for the effect of gravity, enhancing its precision.
The third patent covers the operation of the movement's two barrels. The principal barrel is wound by the automatic system and transmits the energy needed to wind a second barrel that is devoted exclusively to driving the complication. It is kept fully wound by the main barrel to ensure that an optimal level of energy is available to change each hour. This means the complex systems are powered independently without affecting the precision of the watch.
The Functionning of the movement
When the retrograde minutes hand returns to zero to begin the next hour, the connecting-rod system drives 1 revolution of the system by means of the operate star. This is when the mechanical magic of the Hautlence HL2. 0 starts to work:
The mechanisms come to life simultaneously, powered by the energy during the complication barrel. The speed control that allows the chain links to advance the hours in 3-4 seconds begins to function and completes 48 revolutions at high speed (as opposed to instantly). The half-trailing hours display advances one revolution powered by the system's gear train. A coupler transmits the kinematics of the chain to the mobile bridge movement incorporating the regulating organ, which rotates through 60°.
The kinematics of the full HL2. 0 movement are structured in three dimensions by the use of special bevelled gears. These bevelled gears are produced with uniquely shaped tools to achieve optimal efficiency in gear-train transmission.
This timepiece also includes a power-reserve indicator as well as an oscillating weight in 18-carat gold. All numerals and indicators are luminescent to ensure excellent readability at night.
Hautlence, contemporary watchmaking workshop in la Chaux-de-Fonds (canton of Neuchatel, Switzerland)
Founded in 2004, Hautlence whose name itself is an anagram of Neuchâtel pays tribute to the birthplace of the watchmaking art. The brand has been praised by replica watch collectors and aficionados from across the world for bringing a new dynamism to the art of fine watchmaking.
Hautlence has pushed the boundaries of traditional watchmaking codes, taking inspiration from the past and combining this with innovative mechanical solutions borrowed from other high-tech industries, with its architecture and designs displaying an unmistakable Bauhaus influence. This has inspired the brand to create new approaches to displaying the time, guaranteeing its place inside the annals of watchmaking history.
Designing and developing all movements in-house, the company has its own contemporary watchmaking workshop in the heart of the Swiss watchmaking metropolis, La Chaux-de-Fonds.
