Which brand makes the best in-house watch movements?

　　Nowadays, many luxury watch brands have the capability to develop their own in-house movements. However, what are the respective characteristics of these manufacturers' movements? Which brand's in-house movement is superior? Let's explore this with Xiaoya below.

　　IWC In-House Movement: Calibre 52000

　　The Calibre 52000 movement family made its debut in the 2015SIHH Portugieser collection. The newly developed Calibre 52000 in-house movement family features the Pellaton bidirectional winding system and is equipped with twin barrels. This not only provides sufficient energy for the watch's seven-day power reserve but also drives newly developed complications such as the annual calendar or perpetual calendar. Another innovation of this movement family lies in its materials: the winding pawls and the automatic wheel are made of black ceramic, and the rotor bearings are made of white ceramic—specifically, zirconium oxide.

　　Vacheron Constantin: Calibre 3300 Manual-Winding Movement

　　This new chronograph movement has many highlights. The R&D team designed a precise and reliable chronograph activation device for the unique 45-minute "dragging" counter (rather than the traditional minute counter). The movement's lateral clutch system uses a new "friction" technology, so when the chronograph is activated, the chronograph seconds hand does not tremble slightly as it did in the past. In addition, the sliding button on the side ensures better control of the chronograph function. The balance bridge is decorated with an exquisite hand-engraved scroll pattern, specially designed by Vacheron Constantin designers for the brand's 260 anniversary commemorative watch. This decoration, also known as "fleurisanne engraving", is inspired by the vine patterns decorated on the first pocket watch signed by Jean-Marc Vacheron in 1755.

　　Piaget 1208P Ultra-Thin Movement

　　The Piaget-manufactured 1208P automatic mechanical movement is descended from the same lineage as the prestigious 12P movement and is currently the thinnest movement in the world. To achieve the record-breaking thinness of 2.35 mm, the watchmaker Piaget spared no effort, utilising its rich experience accumulated in the ultra-thin field to craft precision movement components. Some gears in the 1208P movement are only 0.12 mm thick, as thin as a hair. The distance between gears is also minimised to just 0.1 mm. In addition, the movement is equipped with a balance-stop device. To make efficient use of space, the rose gold eccentric micro-rotor is positioned at the 9 o'clock position of the movement and is engraved with the Piaget coat of arms. There is also an eccentric small seconds hand located at the 5 o'clock position.

　　Omega 8500 Co-Axial Movement

　　The 8500 is Omega's first in-house base automatic movement in 30 years. It was first fitted in the OMEGA De Ville series in 2007. It features co-axial escapement technology, chronometer-certified precision, 202 components, bidirectional winding, twin barrels, a 60-hour power reserve, a balance bridge, a free-sprung silicon balance spring, and a four-arm regulating weight balance.

　　The 8500 movement has many technical advantages, including bidirectional automatic winding, with an optimised bidirectional automatic winding mechanism ensuring highly efficient automatic winding. Energy is transmitted by twin barrels, providing a power reserve of up to 60 hours. It also features Co-Axial escapement technology. The Co-Axial escapement reduces friction and energy consumption between the escapement components, maintaining the precision and stability of the movement over long periods of operation.

　　Roger Dubuis RD505SQ Skeleton Flying Tourbillon Movement

　　Skeletonised mechanics are the greatest signature of Roger Dubuis. Roger Dubuis has repeatedly pioneered the field of contemporary skeleton movement technology, and the Double Tourbillon Skeleton movement is an unprecedented and highly representative classic masterpiece. Taking the RD505SQ skeleton flying tourbillon movement as an example, let's discuss its performance. A flying tourbillon (rotating once per minute) is positioned at 7 o'clock. It is a manual-winding mechanical movement, precisely adjusted in six positions, featuring a black skeletonised movement, circular-grained mainplate, Côtes de Genève decoration, a Celtic cross-shaped tourbillon carriage, and is fully finished to the standards of the Hallmark of Geneva.
