Ingenuity is watchmaking's heartbeat. Throughout history, the industry has thrived and prospered due to its ability to integrate, showcase and delight in new technologies and thinking. Here are some of our more recent advances:
TimeKiss
|
The advanced features and customization capabilities of Hoptroff movements need
to be set up and managed. The TimeKiss optical interface is a simple, quick
interface to the TimeKiss configuration area of our web site. No external
components or cables are required, and there is no software to install. All
you need is a web browser. (Patents pending.) |
|
Autonomous daylight saving adjust
|
Rather than employing complex radio technology, Hoptroff uses a simple internal calendar to adjust for daylight saving. (Patents pending.) |
|
Stop second indicator
|
By advancing rapidly once per minute, the seconds hand can be deputised to provide extra information. (Patents pending.) |
|
Single-stepper perpetual calendar
|
The internal calendar adjusts for short months automatically, even when used with traditional single-stepper movements. (Patents pending.) |
|
Interstitial indicator
|
By advancing slightly too far, or too short, additional information such as am/pm can be conveyed. (Patents pending.) |
