" While last year's Cabriolet was more of a unique watch with a square flip around case, this year's Microtor is a lot more sober of a looker.Micro rotors are meant to do one thing only really.Provide the convenience of an automatic winding Replica Franck Muller watches movement without blocking the view of the movement too much.Traditional rotors cover about half of the movement's suce.So if you have a exhibition caseback, you can't see the entire, decorated image that the watch maker wants you to see if you have a standard automatic watch.
With a micro rotor, you can shrink the size of the oscillating weight, place it off-center, and reveal a lot more of the decorated movement.It is Replica Zenith watches really the best of both worlds.An engineering complexity with micro rotors has always been weight.You need to make them heavy enough to spin around sufficiently to keep the watch wound.For this reason watch makers have typically employed denser metals for the rotor.
You can see in the images that Universal Geneve chose gold (heavier than steel) for this purpose (which is common).The heavy metal replica Cartier watch platinum is also often used for these purposes, and is sometimes combined with the use of gold.The rotor is also very thick, and set deep into the movement.Again, this is to ensure the maximum possible weight for the rotor so that it oscillates frequently and with ease.
