covER fEaTURE watch in 2004. The remarkable concept watch was able to substitute traditional pinions and gear transmission with a belt-driven mechanical transmission instead and fast became the one of the most audacious movement designs in history. This year, to celebrate their 150th anniversary, TAG Heuer unveiled the revolutionary watch, the Pendulum Concept, a concept watch that completely reinvents the idea of an oscillator. The avant-garde Swiss watchmaker swapped the traditional hairsprings with magnets, ultimately creating the first-ever mechanical movement without a hairspring. Most mechanical movements involve four basic operations where energy is generated, stored, transmitted then regulated. The hairspring has always played a pivotal role in the regulation system. Now, thanks to an “invisible” or virtual spring derived from magnets, the physical coiled strip of fine metal alloy – better known as the hairspring – is no longer necessary. The magnetic fields generated are able to provide alternative oscillations of the balance wheel and make the pendulum an exceptionally good timekeeping device due to its resistance to changes from perturbing forces. Created by TAG Heuer’s Research & Development engineers together with Microsystems research experts at the Integrated Actuators Laboratory (LAI) over a span of five years, the TAG Heuer Pendulum Concept beats at 43,200 beats per hour (6 Hertz) and has marked a new era in watch-making. 40 Pendulum Tourbillon TAG Heuer Monaco The movement
