No, this watch cannot kill superman but it is indeed named after the radioactive compound that is known as Superman’s only weakness. URWEK seem to always have a theme for their timepieces, this time being Kryptonite. The latest addition to the URWERK UR-105 CT collection is this glow in the dark timepiece nicknamed “Kryptonite.”

This new version of the watch only has a couple changes, being the color variation. The fascinating feature about the CT collection is the protective cover hinged on to offer a partial view of the time display.

In the dark, the hour markers and minute track emit an intense green light while the seconds indicator and the power reserve emit a blue glow. What makes this watch so amazing is the contrast between these glowing colors and the black matte of the case.

This timepiece is up for CHF 65,000 or USD 65,324. I am sure many superman comic lovers will have their eye caught on this precious timepiece.

What Watch Would Batman/Bruce Wayne Wear?!

Fiction Billionaire Bruce Wayne is actually one of the most famous billionaires in reality. But what time piece would this billionaire playboy/dark knight wear?
The answer is a Jaeger Le-Coultre
More Specifically the Jaeger Le-Coultre Reverso Grande Taille
Yup this billionaire crime fighter wears this classy timepiece.
You can see Bruce Wayne wear this timepiece in Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins
But lets go a bit further in time and you can see the Batman wearing this timepiece in Batman Forever by
Here’s the link to the scene. Batman Wears Jaeger Le-Coultre Reverso Grande Taille
The Jaeger Le-Coultre Reverso Grande Taille is very affordable compared to many other timepieces I’ve written about it is actually under the 10k range in most occasions. It has a Jaeger Le-Coultre caliber 822that has 134 parts 21 jewels with a power reserve of 45 hours.
This timepiece has a 3 bar about 90 meters of water proof
Measuring 42.2 mm long and 26 mm wide
width is 9.3 mm.
So for any Batman fan this is the watch to get!
]]> Tag Heuer Watch To Time The Flash   https://swisswatchland.com/2014/02/03/tag-heuer-watch-to-time-the-flash/ Mon, 03 Feb 2014 17:56:56 +0000 https://swisswatchland.com/?p=3268
Tag Heuer has two watches that seemed to be made to time how fast  DC hero Flash goes around the earth.
These two models are the Mikrogirder 2000 and Mikrogirder 10000.
These two watches set a new standard for chronograph watches.
I will be talking about the Mikrogirder 10000
These watches carry 3 chronograph readers. At 3 o’clock it has a 1/100th of a second reader, at 12 it has your basic seconds chronograph and then it has a blue central 5/10,000th of a second.
The watch has an Anthracite and Silver dial with a visible linear oscillator, black arabic numerals and hand-applied “10000” at 12. Luminescent markers on the hour and minute hands and the chronograph hands at 3 and 12 are solid rose gold, the logo is also solid rose gold.
This timepiece has a movement with 339 components with 28,800 vibrations an hour and 7,200,000 vibrations with the chronograph feature on.
42 hours of power reserve and 3 minutes for the chronograph.
3The case has a diameter of 45 mm and is made of Black titanium carbide.

Tag-Heuer:

“In early 2012, TAG Heuer’s award-winning team of engineers and watch masters made a radical decision: to start from a blank page, forgetting the hairspring and the balance wheel to repeat, using mechanistic theory, Christian Huygens’ extraordinary accomplishment of 1657— the total reinvention of mechanical watch regulation. The MIKROGIRDER represents a complete departure from the conventional, 3-centuries-old Christiaan Huygens system, which today still reigns over the mechanical watch industry. Instead of a spiral shape in a classical hairspring, it uses a coupling blade/girder and excitatory blade/girder system working with a linear oscillator.
The Mikrogirder system vibrates isochronously at a very small angle, as opposed to a traditional watch, which vibrates at an angle of up to 320 degrees. The advantages are numerous. In a classic spiral hairspring system, the effect of gravity due to mass is a dominant issue. With the MIKROGIRDER, the problem no longer exists. There is no loss of amplitude and the movement’s frequency can be modulated on a very large spectrum of frequency without overburdening the power supply.
The result is a significant increase in precision (division of time) and performance (frequency accuracy and stability). The MIKROGIRDER energy performance will enable TAG Heuer chronographs to attain ultra-high frequencies never before dreamed possible.”

 
 Now I had to search the web to show you just how the 5/10,000th of a second of a feature looks like.
 Flash is known for being fast but it takes him about 1/10th of a second to revolve around the earth by that time this watch would have gone around its dial twice. Which means it revolves around the dial every 1/20th of a second.
