I had been working for quite a while on a new concept...
And one day, as I was on my way to the cafeteria with the after sales manager,
the idea just came to me very clearly!
That day, I did not drink my coffee, I went straight back to my desk and told him:
"I found the idea for the watch of the future!"
There is a long story behind the "Quatuor".
The concept did not come out of nowhere.
It has been since my apprenticeship that I have been thinking about it,
as we all have the will to equal or even do better than our peers.
Precisely one of the main issues in watchmaking is the challenge of gravity.
From the very beginning, I have tried to analyze and find solutions to this problem.
The first step was to participate in the creation of the Double Tourbillon
which allowed us to master the differentials.
And, thanks to this knowledge,
we thought of using the differentials as well as their advantages to create the Quatuor.
Today, watches are moved in absolutely every position. This is the biggest contrainst.
We then needed a new interpretation...
Some made the tourbillon turn in several dimensions,
while we oriented the sprung balances in very specific positions so that they are all is simultaneously simulated.
Four sprung balances connected to differentials improve the frequency of the watch and thus the precision.
We have several ongoing patent requests on this movement:
regarding the challenge of gravity and the connection between sprung balances and differentials.
