Malunga ne-Jupiter Iwotshi

Ngaphakathi kwiwotshi yeJupiter, iingqukuva zentsimbi ziqengqeleka kwimijelo ecinezelwe ngoxinzelelo lwehydraulic, egcinwe endaweni yayo ngamandla emagnethi. Udayalo olungamaza lufakwa kwiglasi yekristale emile okweconvex, nto leyo ethintela ingqukuva ukuba ishiye iindlela zazo. Idome yeglasi egqume indawo yewotshi ephezulu itshintshela kwisingxobo sentsimbi engenamthungo. Ngokushiywa kwesiqu esibonakalayo, ukubukela izandla okanye ukuphawula, akukho zixhobo zokuphazamisa kwiinkalo zokuxela ixesha. Nangona ukungabikho kwezandla zokubukela ezibonakalayo, ukunyakaza kwe-quartz eqhelekileyo kusetyenziselwa ukuqhuba isalathisi sexesha leplanethi.

Ukuqatshelwa

Malunga ne-Ibhaso Legolide le-A' Design Award

Jupiter Iwotshi ngumphumeleli weIbhaso Legolide le-A' Design Award, ukuqatshelwa okuhlonitshwayo kakhulu okunikwa imiyilo yeklasi yokuqala, ephawulekayo nentle. Abaphumeleleyo beGolide ziimveliso ezintsha kakhulu, ezinombono ongaphaya nezikhazimlayo ezibonisa ubuchule, ubulumko nobuchule babayili bazo. Jupiter Iwotshi iyathenjwa ukuba ibe yimveliso edunyiswe kakhulu, ebeka umkhwa nekumgangatho wesikhumbuzo enikela ixabiso elingazange libonwe. Lo myilo uphumeleleyo weIbhaso Legolide le-A' Design Award yiprojekthi emangalisayo nehlonelwayo eluncedo kakhulu kwaye inyusa imida yobugcisa, inzululwazi, uyilo kunye nobuchwephesha. Jupiter Iwotshi idala iimvakalelo ezinzulu zonqweno, ivusa umdla, ikhuthaza ukuyila kwaye iyasikhwebela.

Iziqinisekiso, amalungu eqela kunye neenkcukacha zobugcisa ezinikezelwe ngumyili.

Iimpawu Ezizodwa: This minimal timepiece uses a conventional watch movement to drive a unique planetary watch face. Hours and minutes are shown by little steel spheres that are moving inside circular channels of the hydraulic pressed dial, which is inset into the convex shaped crystal glass. There is no visible stem or watch hand. The glass dome covers the whole front facing area of the watch and creating interesting light reflections.
Imilinganiselo nePakishini: Casing Material: 316L stainless steel, sandblasted
Case Size Thickness: 14.0 mm, Width: 41 mm
Case Back: 316L Stainless steel, matte, screwed on case back
Hands: Stainless steel spheres
Watch dial: Convex shaped by hydraulic press, sandblasted polishing
Crown: at 3 Hour Position
Strap: Width 20 mm, 316L stainless steel Milanese mesh
Movement: Swiss Ronda 502 (Far east manufactured)
Glass: Concave polished hardened mineral crystal
Battery: SR920SW
Water Resistant: 5 ATM
Iithegi: watch, wrist watch, ziiiro, time, magnets, jupiter, spheres
Ubuchwepheshe Bokuvelisa: Compared to traditional watches, the Jupiter watch uses an additional layer of hydraulic pressed brass above the dial to separate its' time indicators from the movement. Little steel spheres are placed into these pressed rails and pulled by magnets underneath this layer. Crystal glass is being sanded into a deep convex shape and placed above the visible part of the dial, so that the steel spheres are being trapped between glass and dial. The magnets themselves are being powered by a conventional Swiss Ronda quartz watch movement.
Umngeni Woyilo: This project started with a foil that can visualise magnetic fields. We prototyped a watch using this foil as watch face and moving magnets underneath. The magnets produce a darker trail when they move along. After further experiments using iron powder, the final design of the Jupiter watch combines the visual appearance of magnetic trails with a more straightforward way of incorporating magnets while ensuring good readability and timeless design.
Uphando: ZIIIRO is all about unique ways of telling the time. We are aware that the purpose of a traditional wrist watch has evolved from time teller into a status symbol or accessory for expressing one's personality and fashion style. In order to figure out the fashion part, we exhibited at the Berlin fashion week 4 times, where we could get feedback from all over the world. After additional market research by making polls and looking at our customer base, we discovered that a large portion of our fans is affiliated to the creative industry. Since being creative is our credo, it shows that we are doing something right.
Inkuthazo: I had the very first idea of a magnetic watch when I stumbled upon flux detector foil, a thin film than can visually detect magnetic fields. By prototyping these ideas, the concept evolved into the design of the Jupiter watch, which is simpler and more straightforward than earlier takes using iron powder or foil. To give the evolving spheres more significance, the dial is visually elevated into the glass.
Ubude Beprojekthi: The project started in Mid 2019 in Nuremberg, Germany and Hong Kong. It was released for purchase in Sept. 2020. In Japan, it was released through a crowdfunding campaign, which achieved 7000% funding.
Ukuhamba Komsebenzi: Time can be set by pulling out and turning the crown. The two steel spheres indicate the current time, the inner one shows minutes while the outer one shows hours. To keep the visual appearance minimal, there are no markers. When setting the time, the spheres have to be moved into the correct position in relation to the watch orientation.
