Norqain has launched the NORQAIN 8K Manufacture Calibre (NK24/1), marking a significant achievement in mechanical watchmaking. Developed in collaboration with Manufacture AMT, this new movement features a skeletonised flyback chronograph, inspired by the world’s highest peaks, also known as the Eight-Thousanders.
The Flyback Chronograph: Precision and Adventure in One
The NORQAIN 8K Manufacture Calibre stands out with its flyback chronograph, a function that allows the chronograph to be reset and restarted with a single push of a button. This makes it ideal for the fast-paced, adventure-driven lifestyle that Norqain watches are designed to support.
The flyback chronograph is particularly suited for sports and activities where quick, repeat training exercises are essential. The ability to reset the chronograph instantly offers precision for measuring time intervals during speed, strength, or stamina-building activities.
High-End Components for Maximum Performance
The NORQAIN 8K Calibre incorporates high-performance components, enhancing both functionality and reliability. The movement is equipped with a column wheel, a feature typically found in high-end chronographs, which ensures smoother and more precise start/stop activations. This mechanism gives the chronograph a quicker response, improving the overall user experience.
In terms of precision, the 8K does not compromise on accuracy. It is COSC-certified, meaning the movement meets the highest standards of timekeeping accuracy. With an impressive 62-hour power reserve, this calibre ensures consistent performance, even over extended periods.
An Aesthetic Inspired by the World’s Highest Peaks
The design of the NORQAIN 8K Manufacture Calibre reflects the brand’s adventurous spirit. The movement’s mainplate, bridges, and rotor are all adorned with a unique motif that tells the story of the Eight-Thousanders—the 14 mountain peaks around the world that exceed 8,000 meters in height. This decorative element not only adds to the visual appeal of the movement but also reinforces Norqain’s connection to exploration and nature.
A Milestone in Norqain’s Mechanical Watchmaking Journey
The 8K Calibre represents a significant milestone for Norqain, showcasing their dedication to mechanical innovation. By partnering with Manufacture AMT, Norqain has created a movement that not only meets the demands of adventurers but also embodies the brand’s ethos of pushing boundaries in horology.
Where will this new calibre make its debut? Stay tuned—Norqain will reveal more in the coming days.
