Хронограф за $260 000 - кварц? Что Audemars, Hublot и Tag Heuer сделали с часами?

Chronographs are no longer just tools. Manufacturers create them as sources of emotion. To make the chronograph buttons click like a smartphone sensor, Audemars Piguet assembled a movement from 512 components. To simplify the mechanics, TAG Heuer replaced the classic levers with two microcomponents created using LIGA technology. As a result, the mechanism... became more complex. And Parmigiani completely removed the chronograph from the dial. Almost. Watches & Wonders 2026 has definitively demonstrated: manufacturers no longer compete in precision or practicality. They compete in sensation. This video features four of the exhibition's most bizarre, controversial, and technologically advanced chronographs: — Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept RD#5 Flying Tourbillon Chronograph — TAG Heuer Monaco Evergraph Chronograph TH80-00 — Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Chronograph Mystérieux — Hublot Big Bang Unico Reloaded Using these examples, we'll try to answer the question: what should the chronograph of the future be like? The Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Chronograph Mystérieux looks like a regular three-hand watch. Until you press the button. Then, the hands literally switch roles: one starts counting the time, the other continues to display the current time. A chronograph without counters. Brilliant? Or pointless? The Hublot Big Bang Unico Reloaded is the complete opposite. Here, the movement isn't hidden—it's on display like the engine of a hypercar. The column wheel, the gear train, the multi-layered case architecture, colored ceramic, sapphire, titanium, Magic Gold—the watch literally screams complexity. And yes, the pushers are a marvel of engineering in their own right. The TAG Heuer Monaco Evergraph Chronograph TH80-00 is an attempt to rewrite the very principle of a mechanical chronograph. Instead of traditional levers, it features flexible bistable elements. TAG claims that in 10 years, all chronographs will be like this. Will they be? And the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept RD#5 Flying Tourbillon Chronograph is perhaps the craziest project at the exhibition. A mechanical chronograph for 260,000 francs that feels like a quartz movement. The pushers are so softly pressed that it's almost impossible to believe it's happening. To achieve this, Audemars Piguet had to completely reinvent the reset system. All four brands are trying to make the chronograph more user-friendly. But the more convenient it becomes, the less it resembles a traditional chronograph. Where are we heading? Toward the mechanics of the future, or toward a time when watches will finally become an amusement park for the rich? ⏱ Timestamps: 00:00 — Battle of four incredible chronographs 01:26 — A $260,000 chronograph that feels like quartz - Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept RD#5 01:45 — A failed attempt to simplify the mechanism, or the TAG Heuer Monaco Evergraph Chronograph TH80-00 06:45 — The most blind chronograph: Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Chronograph Mystérieux 07:26 — Hublot Big Bang Unico Reloaded: Mechanism as a spectacle 14:38 — So what's happening to chronographs?
