The AgenGraphe® or the modern-day chronograph

Jean-Marc Wiederrecht’s objective in creating the AgenGraphe® was to improve the mechanisms of existing chronographs for greater precision and better readability. It took him 10 years to come up with his most revolutionary invention.

How the AgenGraphe® gauge works

It is a caliber with a central display (no need to read the short time measurement anywhere other than the center of the dial), which is also modular: parts can be added or removed according to the wishes of the client brand. As for its precision, it is extraordinary: the AgenGraphe® has a truly instantaneous jump, without the slightest latency, whereas the jump of typical chronographs often starts around the 58th second and lasts about two seconds. Each of the modules of the AgenGraphe® is the subject of a patent registered by AGENHOR.

AGENCLUTCH

The AgenClutch® combines the best of the horizontal clutch (low profile and minimal fuel consumption) and the vertical clutch (precision chronograph function).

Slide
THE AGENGRAPHE® HEART

For maximum legibility, AGENHOR decided to place the seconds, minutes and hours hands in the center of the dial. This is the only position that allows a large display.

Slide
AGENPIT®

The AgenPit® regulating mechanism eliminates the complexities of adjusting the balance wheel mass by adjusting the length of the spiral spring.

Slide
AGENPAL®

The AgenPal® oscillating weight is equipped with a plain bearing, so there are no ball bearings. It is an independent module with a force-reducing device, positioned on the dial side, so that the movement is clearly visible in the caseback.

OUR INVENTIONS

The gear with split teeth

This is one of AGENHOR’s main patents registered in 2002. The wheels are asymmetrical and the teeth are split, which avoids any jamming. The gears maintain continuous contact without ever seizing up or showing any play. This innovation provides higher performance than conventional gearing since the extreme precision of the gears allows for unparalleled time setting and reliability.
