Spectacular Double Spherion by Purnell

[@bobbysebastian3709]

Spherions from the watchmaking genius of Eric coudray. A mechanical marvel indeed.

[@zachrichards9426]

My god the black case with the blue cages is absolutely stunning

[@complexobjects]

This is the type of mechanism you stare at and ask "what is even going on in there?" I think that mesmerizing complexity is a large part of why people spend the time and effort needed to produce this.

[@helsinki]

The watch looks like it could open a portal to another dimension.

[@csnoopy]

That’s probably one of it’s hidden features

[@lordkayx]

This is what Quinn Malory would have made if they rebooted Sliders.

J'aime la modestie d'Eric Coudray, il dit qu'il utilise l'échappement de Potter mais il a apporté une modification radicale : il l'a en quelque sorte inversé pour passer en denture intérieure d'où le fait qu'il ne soit "pas évident à mettre au point"! En effet, ça implique de revoir complètement la géométrie de la denture et de l'ancre. J'avais envisagé cette possibilité théorique il y a plusieurs années et je ne suis pas surpris que quelqu'un ait fini par le sortir, même si contrairement à l’œuf de Colomb il ne suffisait pas d'y penser : il fallait aussi le développer et le rendre viable! Bel exercice de style!

[@watchestv-com]

Merci beaucoup pour ce commentaire éclairé 👍🙏

[@benoitmartin8283]

Je me réponds à moi-même car après une petite recherche, l'échappement de Potter avec denture intérieure a déjà été employé sur la Frank Muller Tourbillon Thunderbolt en 2012. Le développement serait dû à Jean-Pierre Golay d'après cet article : businessmontres.com/article/franck-muller-on-refait-tout-a-lenvers-et-ca-tourne-encore-plus-vite Cela n'enlève rien au mérite d'Eric Coudray, la création en horlogerie est toujours un mélange de réinterprétation et de création "pure". Il est rare de réinventer la roue!

[@Eng-OS]

J'en avais déssiné un en 2009 quand je bossais chez JLC...

[@Eng-OS]

@@benoitmartin8283 oui l'échappement Potter avec denture interieur existait mais le gros défi c'etait de miniaturiser tout en montant en frequence. Là en 4Hz ça fait des tout petits jeux.

The Purnell Double Spherion is a beautiful gyrotourbillon watch. the Two color gyrotourbillon spinning is fantastic. I like the fact that the Purnell gyrotourbillon back case and side case are transparent. The Purnell Double Spherion remind me of the Jacob&Co double gyrotourbillon watch but the Purnell with the colored gyrotourbillons and transparent case is more beautiful.

[@terra___photo]

JUST IMPECCABLE. The skill, time and passion that goes into these is next level.

[@SoZo]

maybe this watch is teh holly grail..

[@mixnation79]

Jacob and Co came out with a very similar style movement using two triple axis sequential tourbillons last year that they're currently using in the watch they are making for Bugatti. I always thought it looked a little strange because the tourbillions didn't turn smoothly but Purnells does the same thing so it must just be the way such a complicated "mini machine" works. I wasn't familiar with Purnell until this video but will definitely be looking into them more as I love collecting watches from small brands with complicated in house movements. A great video as always. I must say your quality and informative videos are a strong reason for my collection continuing to grow faster than it probably should, Viva Watchmaking!!

Can anyone make a dual caged toubillon in a much smaller case? I don't like the "clock on the wrist" look. I want my form and function in a useful case size.

[@watchestv-com]

Considering the complexity of movement, it’s seriously not that big. I seriously don’t see how this could be made smaller. Best to you

[@purnell_official]

Discover the piece for real by yourself you'll see how it nicely fits the wrist! but stay tuned in 2020 your wish might become reality... !

[@guitartec]

@@watchestv-com In there lies the art, I guess. Some watchmaker somewhere will bring the size down as soon as we get over this odd fascination of having a clock on the wrist.

Quite something

[@lefroy1]

Another great video Marc! Since I first saw LeCoultre's Gyrotourbillon, I have been wondering why watchmakers don't utilize 3D printing for these incredibly complex 'cages'. To my mind, it's a technology which lends itself perfectly to the application.

[@purnell_official]

the cages are in titanium weighing 0.79grams - not sure 3D printing can be on a reliable technological material... something new to look into

[@watchestv-com]

Could happen in the future, interesting comment 👍

[@watchestv-com]

I do agree with you ;)

[@oldschooldrumcorps]

I have a "conventional" tourbillon, and as much as it amazes me, it is not even close to being as phenomenal as the Purnell. I only have a one dimension single balance wheel/escapement to look at, and it rotates at a so slow rate in comparison with the Double Spherion's flying cages....Wow is an understatement....more like "Holy sh**!!!

[@watchestv-com]

Hahaha, I like the attitude!!! All the best to you

[@FalconPunch1978]

Very impressive. I think Rube Goldberg would love it.

[@Kpiotr]

Although I am not exactly a fan of gyro... Sorry, Spherions, the engineering and craft that goes into them is something else. And there's Mr Purnell's enthusiasm, always nice to see an enthusiastic company owner.

[@ghostindamachine]

We've heard of hypercars. The Purnell Escape II is a hyperwatch. Pure and simple.

[@neonstrawberry8826]

whats the song? cant shazam it

[@emonty62]

WOW-WOW

[@deepak_nigwal]

I still need more insights about working of this arrangement, as how did they manage to keep the escapement stationary, and worked the pallet and balance around it? Also, about taking the average of both balances, how do they do it? Also, if I could read their patents and study them a bit :) I am hungry for more technical details :)

[@RollaArtis]

This is amazing but completely Bonkers - seems that because of the double carriages inertia, multiple spring barrels are fairly essential.

[@purnell_official]

The six spring barrels are necessary due to the energy consumption of the Potter escapement allowing the fastest rotation of all triple axis tourbillon in the world

[@RollaArtis]

@@purnell_official Quite.

[@kwangbug]

nice technology

[@pradiptabora]

it is really about adding more complexity to the watch. There is no requirement of a second tourbillion as he only uses the average of the two to calibrate. even if you built an octa spherion, nothing was added to the watch in terms of accuracy.

[@watchestv-com]

And like Cedric says, it's more an exercice of style, a cool one for sure. Best to you
