Showing at WatchTime Nyc 2016: RGM Caliber 20sharetweetshareWatchTime The big apple, America's largest luxury watch show, is returning this fall! Held for that second year back to back at Manhattan's luxurious Gotham Hall on October 14-15 (click here for details and tickets), the event comes with a lineup of sponsoring watch brands from Germany, Switzerland, Japan, as well as one American watchmaker, Pennsylvania-based RGM, that will be showcasing its Caliber 20 timepiece.Launched this year in commemoration of RGM's 20th anniversary, Caliber 20 joins its predecessors, the groundbreaking Caliber 801 in 2008 plus the MM2 Pennsylvania Tourbillon movement last year, inside the exclusive fraternity of "Made in the U.S.A." watch movements manufactured entirely at brand founder Roland G. Murphy's small atelier in Pennsylvania's Lancaster County, a normal center of watchmaking since the 1800s.Fittingly, the watch's movement has a distinctly American technological touch, one nearly lost to antiquity: the so-called "motor barrel" system. As a famous invention, the motor barrel (illustration below) was designed to reduce friction and wear within the mainspring barrel surfaces, thus transmitting power more efficiently. In line with Murphy, motor barrels were regularly used within the movements of top-grade American-made railroad replica watches of yesteryear, including the Illinois Bunn Special and Hamilton 950.The RGM Caliber 20 Watch carries a polished, stainless-steel, tonneau case measuring 42.5 x 38.5 mm, using a sapphire crystal in the front and back. True, including the movement, is manufactured at RGM's atelier. The dial, made from solid silver, is accessible with sometimes a full guilloche (pictured) or skeletonized dial. rolex resale value Hours and minutes are shown by two blued steel hands with keystone-shaped tips to represent Pennsylvania watches . The running seconds are displayed on a rotating disk at the pinnacle right from the dial as well as a precise moon-phase indicator, with mother-of-pearl moon disks, is installed in the cheaper left.Caliber 20 can be a manual-wind movement with 19 jewels as well as a frequency of 18,000 vph. Its mainplate and bridges are cut from German nickel silver, hand-finished and left unplated. Like other RGM in-house movements, it boasts several decorations, including côtes de Geneve, perlage and anglage, along with the novelty of the motor barrel system.The watch, links using a black or brown Louisiana alligator strap, is often a relative bargain when compared with others with in-house mechanical movements, starting at $29, hublot replica eta 500. (Murphy says the guy can build the watch using a gold case, for a high price , on request.)
