Patek Philippe Replica Watches is joining in on the pre-SIHH celebrations with something a little unusual. Let's be clear: This is not a watch. It's a kinetic piece that relies on a micro-mechanics rooted in the watchmaking industry.
Reuge, the leading manufacturer of music boxes has partnered with them once again to create a 1.4kg rhodium-plated brass turtle that mechanically mimics the natural gait. The turtle does not walk on all fours, but it is propelled forward by wheels under the shell.
To create a more natural and irregular movement, the mechanism makes use of elliptical gearing. To prevent your friends from letting the turtle run around on the tabletops and then having it fall off the edge,patek philippe replica watches there is a safety feature that shuts the system off when the edge is detected.
There's still more. The 480 parts couldn't have been used to make a turtle that walks. As with many of Patek Philippe Replica Watches's projects, a surprise is hidden in this one as well. A flying, singing automaton bird is revealed from the central leather scale. It's clearly inspired by Pierre Jaquet Droz.
The second creature is made of 18K White Gold. Its wings flap and its tail moves. Finally, it opens its mouth in time with the bird song, before the turtle's shell closes,Rolex Submariner Replica Watches and the bird returns to hiding.
A security mechanism has been implemented for these handsy friends. If someone tries to close the open scale when the automaton bird sings, or worse forces the bird into its nest, the creature will automatically retreat.
Patek Philippe Replica Watches & Reuge, in recognition of the lives that were granted to these animals, which are forever linked to one another, have given them names. Kelys is the Greek name for turtle/tortoise. Chirp is the bird's name, and it makes sense. Together, they are Kelys & Chirp.
