制表大师阿尔弗雷德•海威格(Alfred Helwig)肖像
来自德国格拉苏蒂镇的制表大师阿尔弗雷德•海威格(Alfred Helwig),以令人难以置信的天赋而着称于世—— 他不仅拥有工匠的艺术能力,而且还在机械钟表技术开发方面展现出巨大的创造力。他毕生致力于提升钟表的精密度——他创造的飞行陀飞轮,就是他对精确性孜孜以求的有力见证。
The master watchmaker from Glashütte, Alfred Helwig, is still known today for his incredible gift – a synthesis of the craftsman’s artistic abilities and the highest degree of creativity in the technical development of mechanical watches. He dedicated his life to achieving as great a degree of precision as possible. His brilliant development – the Flying Tourbillon – bears witness to his untiring search for accuracy.
外观优美、技术上堪称完美的擒纵模型、历史图纸及手绘图,充分证明了阿尔弗雷德•海威格(Alfred Helwig)的卓越才华。海威格在1905年制作的装载杠杆擒纵结构的一款女式怀表以及他德国格拉苏蒂钟表制作学校的学生设计的飞行陀飞轮怀表,此次也一并得以展出。这些令人叹为观止的钟表,生动地展示了阿尔弗雷德•海威格(Alfred Helwig) 出色的实践和教育能力。
The genius of Alfred Helwig is demonstrated by beautiful and technically perfect escapement models, historical drawings and sketches. A women’s lever escapement pocket watch that Helwig built in 1905 as well as pocket watches with Flying Tourbillon designed by his students at the German School of Watchmaking Glashütte are equally on display. These stunning timepieces are a vivid demonstration of the outstanding practical and educational skills of Alfred Helwig.
飞行陀飞轮模型
此次展出的其它展品,如具有时角指示功能和杠杆擒纵结构的船钟,具有时角指示盘和双追针功能 – 可以快速定位的飞行员腕表原型,则凸显了阿尔弗雷德•海威格(Alfred Helwig)在研制高精密时计方面的技能与雄心;
Further exhibits underline his skills and his ambition to develop highly precise timekeepers such as a marine chronometer with an hour angle indication and lever escapement or a prototype of a pilot’s wrist watch with an hour angle indication dial and rattrapante function – for the rapid and certain determination of location.
阿尔弗雷德•海威格(Alfred Helwig)以其广博的知识与实践经验享誉整个欧洲;很多钟表工匠和教师为丰富自己的知识,而纷纷拜读他的着作。阿尔弗雷德•海威格(Alfred Helwig)一生发表了约40篇论文和书籍。1927年,他发表了一篇关于“旋转框架钟表”的论文——这即是他发明的飞行陀飞轮腕表。在这篇长达98页、并有 56 张插图的论文中,阿尔弗雷德•海威格(Alfred Helwig)描述了陀飞轮手表的具体结构。
Alfred Helwig was known all over Europe for his comprehensive knowledge and his practical experience. Many watchmakers and teachers read his publications to improve and further their own knowledge. He wrote about 40 articles and books over the course of his life. In 1927, he published an essay on “rotating carriage watches” – which is what he called Tourbillon watches. In 98 pages with 56 illustrations, Alfred Helwig described how Tourbillons and carousel watches are constructed.
时至今日,阿尔弗雷德•海威格(Alfred Helwig)的出版物仍然是钟表设计师、监管者以及业余钟表制作者的重要参考资料,尤其是《钟表精确调校》(Feinstellung der Uhren)以及《德国钟表制作学校教育》(Die Lehre an der Deutschen Uhrmacherschule)这两本书。
Alfred Helwig’s publications remain today important reference works for watch designers, regulators and amateur watchmakers. This applies in particular to the book “Feinstellung der Uhren” (Fine Adjustment of Watches) and to the series “Die Lehre an der Deutschen Uhrmacherschule” (Education at the German School of Watchmaking).
阿尔弗雷德海威格限量款陀飞轮
无论是美学或制表工艺,阿尔弗雷德•海威格(Alfred Helwig)所创造的飞行陀飞轮都是一流的成就,即便以当今的创新角度来看都堪称实至名归。尽管取得了一系列卓越成就, 阿尔弗雷德•海威格(Alfred Helwig) 的一生也始终保持谦逊的本色。格拉苏蒂品牌(Glashütte Original)以限量版的飞行陀飞轮腕表纪念这位制表大师。自2002年以来,格拉苏蒂品牌的钟表制作学校以阿尔弗雷德•海威格(Alfred Helwig)冠名,矢志以最高的标准培训未来的制表大师。
Alfred Helwig’s Flying Tourbillon is a first-class achievement in both aesthetic and watchmaking terms – as much so today as at the time of its creation. Despite this and his many other great achievements, Alfred Helwig remained a modest man throughout his life. Glashütte Original honors the master watchmaker with limited editions of Tourbillon watches. Their characteristics include the Flying Tourbillon brought to the highest degree of perfection and built on the front side – a successful tribute to Alfred Helwig. Since 2002, the Watchmaking School of Glashütte Original has borne the name Alfred Helwig, thereby committing itself to the very highest standards.
本次展览地点在德国格拉苏蒂钟表博物馆,展出时间为2011年7月6日至10月31日。
The exhibition is on display from 6th July until 31st of October 2011 in the German Watch Museum Glashütte. A small exhibition catalogue can be purchased in the museum shop for 6.50 Euro.
