Patent application #8 begins by giving background on the
replica watches uk invention as a new means of casing-up movements into watch cases in a way that results in fewer broken parts from a shock and reduces the shock to the movement by 60%. This follows a history of other shock absorption improvements, such as the balance bridge introduced with the 3135 calibre. The
replica watches uk background states that this solution is completely unexpected, due to the fact that current attempts are aimed at using elastic polymers to absorb shock and this invention succeeds in reducing shock by using solid
replica watches materials. Other casing methods could be a plastic ring (Swatch 2842 powered automatics were mounted this way) or in the case of
replica watches uk some 1990s Tudor watches, a solid metal ring over which the screws and braces clamp the movement in place
replica watches uk with a flange and other complex surfaces to locate the movement.
