Jules Audemars Equation of Time

The new Jules Audemars Equation of Time has its eyes firmly fixed on the universe, as it admires and reflects the endless dance of the stars 감옥탈출 리마스터 다운로드. This exclusive watch combines several functions: equation of time, sunrise and sunset times, as well as a perpetual calendar with astronomical moon.

The equation of time :

True noon, when the sun is at its zenith, depends on the longitude of the place where the observation is made, always taking into consideration the equation-of-time differential, save on April 15th, June 14th, September 1st and December 24th. This differential ranges from minus 16 minutes and 23 seconds on November 4th to plus 14 minutes and 22 seconds on February 11th. The equation-of-time pointer fitted on the dial’s central axis shows this differential, true noon corresponding to its position exactly over the minute hand, and the hour hand is providing the local time of solar culmination realtek 오디오 드라이버 다운로드.

Sunrise and sunset times :

At the equator, the duration of days and nights is the same throughout the year. The greater the distance from the equator, the greater their seasonal variations; during solstices at the poles, the sun either never sets or never rises above the horizon. Sub-dials with 0-to-12 and 12-to-24 graduations show the times at which the sun respectively rises and sets all throughout the year at the latitude for which the watch has been adjusted, corresponding to the city of reference engraved on the flange Download the Android webview image.

The astronomical moon :

With a standard perpetual-calendar mechanism, the lunar cycle requires a correction every two years and seven months.

Compared to the 59 teeth of a standard “horological” moon mechanism, the gear-train driving the Audemars Piguet moon comprises 135 teeth, and its differential with the actual moon cycle amounts to a mere 57 and 1/5 seconds compared to 44 minutes and 2 and 4/5 seconds for a standard “horological” moon.

Customised models :

Sunrise and sunset times depend on both latitude and longitude, whereas solar culmination time is determined by longitude Jane Doe. Given that each watch may be adjusted according to the location chosen by its owner, the sunrise and sunset cams are available for all cities of the world, apart from those located beyond 55 degrees North (Novosibirsk and Edmonton) and 55 degrees South (Auckland and the Falklands). The name of the city of reference is engraved on the flange carrying the equation-oftime graduations.
