T-1000 Gotham

Description

The T-1000 Gotham \u2012 with a stamina of superhero proportions\tNight has fallen on the city. The only sounds to cut through the incessant hiss of beating rain are a distant police siren, a sudden crack of thunder and the squeaking of rats scurrying along the gutter. It\u2019s not just the grime and decay of the sinister streets that you can smell; the stench of crime and corruption fills the chilly night air just as sharply. There is a sense of foreboding. The end is nigh. Time feels like it\u2019s running out\u2026.\tBut from the shadows, a dark crusader rises \u2012 the T-1000 Gotham \u2012 a brooding, enigmatic operator with a body so muscular, so imposing, the bad guys go running scared into the night; and with a stamina of such superhero proportions, it can keep on working day after day after day for an incredible 40 days before needing to be wound up again. The T-1000 Gotham is a tireless \u2018time fighter\u2019. With a mind-blowing power reserve of more than 1,000 hours, it doesn't just push back the boundaries of the possible \u2012 it blows them away to create a whole new reality.\tAn amazing six \u2012 yes, SIX \u2012 mainspring barrels endow the T-1000 Gotham with what is the world\u2019s largest power reserve \u2012 this colossal energy is generated by an ingenious, over-sized winding lever cunningly integrated into the back of the robust case. The case, made from natural and/or blackened titanium, is tank-like in appearance. But this rugged, chiseled exterior belies the complexity of what\u2019s housed within \u2012 intricate mechanics more evocative of a high-performance sports car than an armored vehicle. The T-1000 Gotham is a limited edition of 25 pieces available in two different combinations of natural and blackened titanium, with a choice of black, gold, red, blue or purple movement.REBELLION T-1000 GOTHAM IN DETAIL\tOver 1,000 hours of energy = a true endurance machine No fewer than six mainspring barrels provide the T-1000 Gotham with its exceptional 1,000-hour power reserve \u2012 the world\u2019s largest. In a patented system of energy distribution, the six barrels are wound in parallel by two finely engineered chains, discharging in series (2 x 3) to optimize the torque and power to the regulator. The latter\u2019s unconventional 39\xb0 inclined balance at 6 o\u2019clock \u2012 which maximizes timekeeping precision by minimizing flat and vertical positions \u2012 can be seen oscillating through the sloping crystal at 6 o\u2019clock.\tFeel the power of the T-1000 Gotham The T-1000 Gotham\u2019s incredible fuel storage capacity needs to be complemented by an equally impressive power generation system. And what a system it is. The over-sized winding lever enables approximately 10 times as much winding force to be applied than a normal winding mechanism.\tStealthily housed within the case back, the mask-shaped lever can be unclipped from between the lugs, and then lifted up and out, above the REBELLION logo emblazoned on the case back. Now primed for action, the lever provides a unique kinesthetic pleasure for the owner for whom the terms \u2018fuel pump\u2019 and \u2018filling up the tank\u2019 will take on a whole new meaning.\tAn engine that purrs sweetly \u2012 a body that means business The innovative lever is neatly harnessed on either side of the case to robust plates, which are fixed to the chassis via sturdy hex-head bolts. Concealed behind these plates are the six mainspring barrels, three either side. Rebellion\u2019s automotive pedigree \u2012 the Rebellion Racing team won the 2012 FIA Endurance Trophy (LMP1 class) \u2012 is evidenced by the patented time-setting clutch activated by a push button in the virile, grooved crown that makes setting the time as easy as shifting gears. The vertical, roller-borne hour and minute indications plus large portions of the eye-catching threedimensional movement \u2012 available in a choice of black, gold, red, blue, purple \u2012 stand out in all their glory through the upper, anti-reflective sapphire crystal. This T-shaped crystal is surrounded by a solid grill panel fixed by screws featuring the brand\u2019s signature REBELLION logo screw heads, as is a second geometrically-angled panel towards 6 o\u2019clock that affords a superb view of the balance wheel beating away \u2012 as well as more of the movement \u2012 through another sapphire crystal that slopes neatly with the balance\u2019s incline.\tCompleting the T-1000 Gotham is the black alligator leather strap and REBELLION buckle featuring patented folding clasp with micrometric push button regulation.\t\xa0
