关于ST1901的历史,相信老面肯定也发表过,以下这段文字是该众筹发起人编写,我在下面翻译一下。感觉国货的问题就是不爱惜自己,如老面所说,墙内开花墙外香,Kickstarter上有很多成功的手表项目都使用了海鸥的机芯,并加以打磨。

The movement within the Lomond is a special one; it has history. Originally developed by Fabrique d'Ebauches Venus S.A in the 1940's, the Venus 175 was used in many high-end timepieces, most notably by Breitling. Soon this 175 Caliber was copied by a Russian firm and came to be known as the Strela. When Venus decided that they wanted to develop a new movement, the 180, they went looking for buyers for their Venus 175 caliber.
上世纪四十年代,维纳斯175用于许多高端手表,比如百年灵。没多久就被苏联人复制为Strela。于是维纳斯决定研发新的机芯,即180,同时他们决定把175卖掉。
The Soviets didn't want it - they had their cloned Strela movement, but the Chinese just so happened to be looking for a movement to install in a new pilot's watch for their air force. Venus sold everything to the Chinese - machinery included. After the war the caliber soon filtered down to consumer watches and has ultimately become the Seagull ST19.
那毛子自然不稀罕了,因为他们已经有Strela了,而那时候我国正在为航空表谋求机芯。于是双方一拍即合,我国全盘接手了175,包括制造机械。然后就演变成了海鸥ST19系列。

In part, due to the history and background, the ST19 still shares the robustness and accuracy of the Venus 175, which is why we've chosen it for the Lomond Chronoscope.
因此,ST19有着与维纳斯175同样的强壮与精确,因此我们选择ST19作为该表的机芯。 |
