Loading...I found this video on Youtube depicting the 1/100th Mikrograph by Tag Heuer. Tag Heuer has been working for a long time on creating an automatic wristwatch Chronograph that is able to measure 1/100th of a second. In addition, they are also working on the 1/1000th Mikrotimer which was first presented at Baselworld this year.
The Mikrotimer is able to measure 1/1000th of a second. It is a very intricate mechanism.
This photo is taken from the above video by Tag Heuer.
Initially when I saw this video and photo, I asked myself, how do you read the dial and the 1/1000th of a second measurement? Well, someone in a German forum gave the explanation:
1) The small gauge at 6 o’clock shows the 10th of a second and stands at 1.2 seconds.
2) The second ring (dial) inside of the dial where it reads Mikrotimer shows the full seconds in 5 seconds distance and displays right now 20 seconds.
3) The first (outer) ring (dial) displays 1000th of a second and currently shows 68th/1000th of a second. (precisely: 0,068).
4) And the third inside ring (dial) where the Tag Heuer Logo is located displays the minutes and currently shows “2” minutes.
So this means:
2 minutes and 20 + 1.2 + 0,068= 21,268 seconds
QED.
It is quite a tricky dial to read… 😉
