- A person or thing considered a model of excellence.
A diamond that originated in Brazil weighing 137.82 carats was also called Paragon. This name is also used for a series of massively parallel supercomputers.
It was necessary to completely revise the technical drawings of the original Wryst Racer automatic middle model to adapt to the larger size of the ETA7750 chronograph movement. The width has gone from 50mm to 52mm, and the height from 48mm to 50mm.
All the Force, Motors, and Racer model bracelets are compatible with the Paragon watch. Do not hesitate to contact us with any particular request concerning the bracelets or to find out which serial numbers are available.
Carbon fiber and forged carbon are materials made from carbon atoms but have different structures and properties. Carbon fiber is a material that consists of long, thin strands of carbon atoms that are woven together to form a fabric.
This fabric is then impregnated with a resin and cured to create a rigid composite. Forged carbon is a material that consists of short, chopped pieces of carbon fiber that are mixed with a resin and pressed into shape as the resin sets. This creates a composite that has a random, marbled appearance.
The main difference between carbon fiber and forged carbon is how they are manufactured. Carbon fiber is made by spinning carbon atoms into filaments woven into a fabric. This fabric is laid up in layers, often by hand, and aligned in a specific direction to optimize the strength and stiffness of the final part. The fabric is then infused with a resin, usually epoxy, and cured under heat and pressure. This process is called laminating, and it can be time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Forged carbon is made by chopping carbon fiber filaments into short pieces and mixing them with a resin, usually vinyl ester. This mixture is then heated and compressed into a mold to form the final part.
This process is called compression molding, which can be faster and more efficient than laminating. The chopped carbon fibers are randomly oriented in the mold, which gives the part a uniform strength and stiffness in all directions.
The advantages and disadvantages of carbon fiber and forged carbon depend on the part's application and design. Carbon fiber can be more expensive and challenging, especially for complex shapes. Forged carbon is slightly heavier than carbon fiber but is also more durable and resistant to impact.
Black carbon fiber and forged carbon are used for various products, such as automotive parts, sports equipment, aerospace components, and lifestyle accessories. Carbon fiber is preferred for applications that require high strength and low weight, such as bicycle frames, racing car parts, and airplane wings.
Forged carbon is preferred for applications that require high durability and impact resistance, such as brake levers, engine covers, and watch cases. Both materials have a distinct aesthetic appeal, with carbon fiber having a classic woven pattern and forged carbon having a unique marbled look.
In the world of precision timekeeping, few watch movements have earned the reputation and trust of the ETA Valjoux 7750. Known for its robust engineering and dependable performance, this Swiss automatic chronograph movement has become a benchmark in horology. For over five decades, it has powered countless timepieces across a wide range of brands, from entry-level sport watches to high-end luxury chronographs.
What sets the ETA Valjoux 7750 apart is its practical design. Unlike traditional column-wheel chronographs, the 7750 uses a cam-lever system that simplifies production and enhances durability. This architecture allows for smoother operation of the chronograph functions while reducing the risk of mechanical failure. The movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, ensuring precise timekeeping and a steady sweep of the seconds hand. With a power reserve of approximately 48 hours, it offers reliable autonomy for daily wear.
The 7750’s layout includes a central chronograph seconds hand, a 30-minute counter, a 12-hour counter, and a small seconds subdial. It also features a day-date complication, making it both functional and versatile. These features are arranged in a balanced and legible format, which has become iconic in chronograph design.
One of the reasons this movement is so widely adopted is its ease of servicing. Watchmakers appreciate the straightforward construction, which allows for efficient maintenance and adjustment. This practicality has led to widespread use and, inevitably, imitation. Several manufacturers have developed clone movements based on the 7750’s design, including Sellita’s SW500 and various Chinese alternatives. While some of these copies offer decent performance, none match the original’s proven reliability and Swiss craftsmanship.
The ETA 7750 is also highly adaptable. It serves as a base for numerous complications and customizations, allowing brands to tailor the movement to their specific needs. Whether housed in carbon cases for lightweight durability or paired with a rubber strap for sporty appeal, the 7750 remains consistent in its performance. Its compatibility with modern materials like carbon composite further enhances its appeal in contemporary watchmaking.
In Wryst’s Paragon collection, the 7750 finds a fitting home. These watches are designed for individuals who demand precision, style, and resilience. The movement’s shock resistance and stable performance make it ideal for active lifestyles, while the water resistance of the case ensures protection in challenging environments. Combined with bold aesthetics and durable construction, the Paragon watches exemplify the synergy between technical excellence and modern design.
The enduring popularity of the Valjoux ETA7750 is a testament to its engineering. It has not only stood the test of time but has shaped the evolution of watch movements across the industry. Its influence is evident in the number of brands that continue to rely on its architecture, and in the many that attempt to replicate its success.
For collectors and enthusiasts, owning a timepiece powered by the 7750 is more than a choice. It’s a statement of trust in Swiss innovation. It represents a commitment to quality, precision, and heritage. In a market flooded with options, the ETA Valjoux 7750 remains a symbol of reliability, making it the world’s most trusted chronograph movement.
In conclusion, if you liked the automatic watch collection models, it is now a question of stepping up a gear with a quality PARAGON automatic chronograph watch. Acquiring one of these ten watches will guarantee you a state-of-the-art timepiece and a safe and lasting investment.
