When it was first introduced in 2009, the Zeitwerk was groundbreaking. It was the first wristwatch with a mechanical digital hour and minute display. It was not a brand new concept as it goes back to the 19th century by Josef Pallweber an Austrian watchmaker who incensed his creation to some manufactures, most notably IWC in their pocket watches.
The challenge in creating the movement is to power 1608 instantaneous jumps in 24 hours for its three discs, one disc for the hour and two discs for the minute, precisely. So the Zeitwerk carries the thickest mainspring the manufacture produces and it has a remontoire that delivers a constant force for equal torque to power the jump.
The Zeitwerk 140.029 is encased in a 41.9mm diameter 18K White Gold case paired with the crowd’s favorite black dial crafted from solid silver giving it a good contrast compared to the other variants.
