60 UNIQUE PIECES CHALLENGE FERRARI

But nevertheless it keeps its value as a poem. The way taken by the
manufacture is the one of the contemporary man of the third millennium.
Abraham Louis Breguet found the solution how to eliminate errors caused by
the effect of gravity, Mr Pascal Berclaz from Quinting found the solution
how to compensate all the errors not only those caused by gravity but also
the errors that result from the movements of the man’s hand who plays golf
or violoncello or pilots a space shuttle. His watch is not subject to the
effect of gravity but to other forces. To realize this the Quinting
manufacture has created a worldwide premiere, the first transparent
movement in the world with counterbalancing forces in which two parts move
in opposite directions or in other words the wheels of the seconds turn as
the seconds hand and other wheels rotate in opposite direction. Thus if one
set of wheels accelerates the other one decelerates and thanks to the
mysterious Quinting system the forces will be counterbalanced. Guided by
the principle that the definition of art is knowledge that took shape, the
Quinting manufacture creates The Ferrari watches.
If Abraham Breguet wrote poetry of the horology with its Tourbillon,
nowadays Quinting composes music for it. Although the Quinting watchmakers
have gone further than Abraham Louis Breguet, their marvel has a reasonable
price of 35 000 USD for a unique watch Ferrari Challenge.
§ To create only unique timepieces
Quinting and Ange Barde have decided to create only unique timepieces.
Indeed, all the watches seem to be the same but they are in reality all
different. There are 60 unique watches. The number 60 represents the number
of minutes in one hour. On the case of each watch is engraved a number
between 1 and 60. This last one indicates the minute when the two cars are
superposed to be just one.
For example, if you choose the watch number 5, the two cars will be
superposed every hour and 5 minutes: 12.05pm, 13.05pm, 14.05p…
The racing drivers who ran for the Challenge Ferrari title, including Ange
Barde, had their blood group engraved on the case of the watch instead of
the minute.
