High -precision timepiece
Luxury brand Rolex will build nuclear clocks in the future-why?
Rolex founded a new company – the Rolex Quantum Sa. This should also build watches in the future, but not for the wrists of high -earners.
The latest litter from Rolex, the country Dweller, offers a gear accuracy of -2/+2 seconds a day. This is a very good value for a mechanical watch, because translated that only a tiny part of the 86,400 seconds that a day has is clocked too quickly or too slowly. Only some watches with quartz or so-called Spring Drive work are more precise. But it must be even more precise in science.
Rolex confirms a new start -up
Apparently Rolex has now set itself the goal of building the most precise watches in the world. For this purpose, the Rolex Quantum Sa company was founded in May, as the company star confirmed. “After our successful cooperation in the design development of a new generation of atomic clocks, the CSEM (“Center Suisse d’Electronique et de Microtechnique”) and Rolex decided on a partnership for the further development of innovative technologies”says Rolex. “The company in Neuchâtel (in German in German, editor’s note) benefits from the immediate vicinity of the CSEM and has set a clear mission: the development, manufacture and distribution of high -precision optical atomic clocks. We publish more details and information about future projects in due course.”

The Swiss “” writes that the rolex nuclear clocks “Subdivid into 750 billions of units for a second” should be able to. A deviation of a whole second would not be a question of days or months, but probably more billions of years.
Why at nuclear clocks?
The business magazine arises as to why Rolex is taking this step. Because the clocks that the new company will build are not aimed at private customers – and certainly do not fit on any wrist. “It’s about image transfer”is it[calledThe”Trading newspaper” suspects that it is about the good reputation, an advertising effect and possibly a technology transfer in “slimmed down” could go for future models.
Atomic clocks are used worldwide to determine the time and are also used in areas such as navigation, telecommunications, power grids and basic research. Without this type of watch, there would be no GPS, for example.
The statement that you build the most precise watches in the world is certainly not damaged by the brand’s nimbus. And you shouldn’t forget that Rolex is committed to it – maybe Quantum will help here in the future.
