Born of the necessity to overcome the challenges posed to metal and silicon hairsprings – shock, magnetism and gravity – TAG Heuer’s Isograph technology is produced through a highly innovative manufacturing process developed in-house by the TAG Heuer Institute. The oscillatory regulator uses a carbon-composite hairspring, a completely new material created by the Institute, and a tailor-made balance wheel.
Together, the carbon-composite hairspring and tailor-made balance wheel form the oscillatory regulator. This technology has been given the name Isograph – the trademarked name comes from the Greek words iso, meaning “equal”, and grapho, which means “to write”, referring to the stable and consistent movement of the component. |
