Pre-Baselworld 2009: TX 830 Linear Duo Chronograph
[ via TX ]
BASELWORLD 2009, For Immediate Release--TX watches continues to break the confines of circularity by unveiling the new Linear Duo Chronograph, featuring the only quartz analog movement to indicate the chronograph minutes on a vertical line. "Our philosophy of innovation and precise instrumentation provides a springboard for the creation of the Linear Chronograph Series. This instrument breaks convention and delivers beyond expectations. The final vision is one of balance, confidence, beauty and power," says Hans-Kristian Hoejsgaard, President and CEO of the Timex Group. An extension of the revolutionary TX Linear Chronograph Series, the Linear Duo is driven by a sophisticated six hand movement run by four motors, each operating independently of each other.
Bidirectional motors propel the linear hand located at nine o'clock, indicating the chronograph minutes singularly and in five minute increments, and a retrograde hand at four o'clock tracks the hours of the chronograph. Designed in Italy by renowned Italian designer Giorgio Galli, the new TX Linear Duo Chronograph offers a clean silhouette with distinct masculine detailing. The 47mm curved case with subtle beveled edge is paired with bold highlight colors to create a striking balance of beauty and power.
