Telling the Time, the Exquisite Way

Casio is without a doubt one of the best-known manufacturers of various time-keeping devices, the company rolling out an absolutely huge number of such products over the years, with the G-Shock rugged timepieces probably being among the most luxury watches to be made available. One of the things that maintained Casio in the forefront of watchmaking was the constant appetite for innovations and the latest technologies, which manifests itself quite clearly in the case of one of its latest offerings, the Waveceptor watch.

Before going further with the most important and interesting features this high-performance chronograph has to offer, we'll have to talk a bit about two of the aspects that manage to differentiate it from most of the other watches available on the market. First of all, in order to permanently provide the exact time, the watch receives up to 6 times per day time calibration radio signals, which keep the displayed time accurate. Unfortunately, this function is only available for those people living in the broadcast range of an atomic clock, in the US, UK, Germany, Japan & China).

First of all, before going into what these special editions have to offer, let's talk a bit about the HM1 itself. According to the manufacturer, the HM1 features the world’s first movement with four barrels connected in both parallel and series, as well as the first wristwatch movement to have the energy transmitted to the regulating system from two sources simultaneously.

The movement sports a whopping 376 parts, 81 functional jewels, 4 mainspring barrels, 7-day power reserve and an elevated central tourbillon. This amazing timepiece's “heart” beats at 28,800 bph and sports an automatic winding system, with a 22K Gold Battle Ax winding rotor.
