SWISS RADAR NEW HYPERCHROME CHOCOLATE BROWN HIGH-TECH CERAMIC WATCH
byadmin 7. November 2020
Uncategorized
(Linno, Switzerland-March 2015) RADO has always been known for its
outstanding Swiss quality, award-winning design and unrivalled
material skills. The preciousness of Swiss Rado high-tech ceramic
watches lies not only in the characteristics that are not easy to
wear, but also in their elegant appearance and excellent wearing
comfort.
Three gorgeous choices unveiled
Thanks to the continuous research and development in recent
years, Swiss Rado watches are constantly introducing new high-tech
ceramic materials: from the first black high-tech ceramics to the
elegant launch of white high-tech ceramic watches; at the same time,
Swiss Rado is also the first The brand using plasma high-tech
ceramics, beyond the imagination, makes the watch shine with a warm
gray metallic luster even though it does not contain any metal
components.
Today, the Rado, with its sleek design and high-tech ceramics,
adds a new color-chocolate brown. The chocolate brown, which is well
known to connoisseurs of Swiss craftsmanship, is the iconic color of
Maîtres Chocolatiers chocolate, and it is this brand that makes
Switzerland the embodiment of chocolate heaven. As the light changes
throughout the day, the exquisite high-tech ceramic surface can fully
reflect the light and shadow colors from deep dark chocolate to sweet
light brown, creating the ultimate artistic effect. The surface
temperature of high-tech ceramics can change with the temperature of
the wearer. The excellent touch makes the beauty of rich colors extend
with the fingertips. The chocolate brown high-tech ceramics create the
dual enjoyment of senses and vision.
Concentration of alcohol
The new chocolate brown high-tech ceramics are the first to be
used on three watches of the RADO Hao Xing series. The limited edition
of the Swiss Rado Hao Xing diamond series automatic mechanical watch
perfectly interprets the rich brilliance of chocolate brown high-tech
ceramics and shows the outstanding craftsmanship. Rose gold parts and
chocolate brown high-tech ceramics complement each other, 56 top
Wesselton diamonds complement the watch, making this extraordinary
watch a sensual and attractive focus, and the chocolate brown
high-tech ceramic case back Limited edition number (XXX / 600).
The limited edition of the RADO Rado Star Speed ​​Automatic
Chronograph also uses chocolate brown high-tech ceramics. The
designers of the Swiss Radar boldly adopted the contrast design of the
matte brown high-tech ceramic case and the polished dark brown bezel.
The bezel is engraved with a speed scale and covered with a white
Super-LumiNova® luminous coating. Rose gold PVD stainless steel
inserts, crown and chronograph buttons echo the rose gold details of
the dial. The dial features a swivel anchor mark unique to the Swiss
Rado automatic. Limited edition number (XXX / 999) engraved on the
chocolate brown high-tech ceramic case back.
Watches in this new color also include the RADO Haustell
automatic mechanical watch, dark brown polished ceramic case with side
inserts and rose gold PVD-coated steel crown. The brown dial with rose
gold hands, black trim, and luminous coating are embedded in the brown
bezel, and the anti-glare curved sapphire mirror on both sides
completes the look of the watch. The 21-stone automatic mechanical
movement and the black automatic top are clearly visible on the brown
polished high-tech ceramic sapphire case back; this model uses a
three-row matte brown high-tech ceramic outer chain link, and the
polished brown high-tech ceramic middle chain link With titanium
tri-fold clasp.
RADO is always committed to the vision of excellence and
long-lasting beauty. Swiss radars process ceramic components at
extremely high temperatures in a specially developed sintering furnace
to achieve this new color. As we all know, the sintering process of
high-tech ceramics is extremely difficult to control, and the precise
processing of the color of high-tech ceramics materials is undoubtedly
once again highlighting the status of the Swiss Radar as a material
master.

COMPANION OF AIRBORNE PARATROOPERS – BALL WATCH BALL ENGINEER SERIES
HYDROCARBON CHRONOGRAPH WATCH
byadmin 30. October 2020
Uncategorized
Ball Ball Watch is proud of its American railway tradition and is now
proudly introducing the new Engineer Hydrocarbon Spacemaster Airborne.
Its unique design enables the wearer to withstand the harsh
environment that the US airborne paratroopers need to face. It
combines cutting-edge watchmaking technology, unparalleled waterproof
and shock resistance, and high-performance design.
The U.S. Airborne Troops are the most experienced and frequently
deployed units in the U.S. National Armed Forces. The U.S. Airborne
Paratroopers need to perform their missions in the harshest
environments behind the enemy, and therefore need the most waterproof
and shockproof performance and the most reliable equipment support.
Ball Watch specifically engraved the logo of the US Air Force Rescue
Force on the caseback of this new watch model to pay tribute to the
unit. This U.S. special airborne unit is mainly responsible for rescue
operations and providing medical needs to soldiers on the ground. The
table also bears the famous motto of the US Air Force’s rescue
force, ‘That others may live.’
The stainless steel case of Engineer Hydrocarbon Spacemaster Airborne
has a diameter of 42 mm and contains an ETA 2836-2 self-winding
movement. Its accuracy is certified by the Swiss Observatory. In
addition to displaying the time, the watch has day and date windows at
three o’clock and four thirty, respectively, showing daily important
time information. The black dial design is simple and eye-catching,
with round fine engraving and protected by anti-glare sapphire crystal
glass. In addition, the minute scale is engraved on the dial flange to
make the watch more layered.
Airborne paratroopers often have to parachute and experience different
severe environments, which means that they are often hit. In view of
this, the Engineer Hydrocarbon Spacemaster Airborne is equipped with
the latest patented ‘spring lock’ system from Ballox, which is a
movement specially developed by Ball Watch to ensure accurate
movement. The hairspring is surrounded by a ‘protective case’,
which can absorb the energy generated when the watch is subjected to
external impacts; the impact of these external impacts is enough to
make the average movement time of ordinary mechanical movements as
fast as about 60 seconds per day. The ‘hairspring lock’
anti-vibration system can effectively reduce the running time error by
as much as 66%, thereby ensuring that the movement of the mechanical
movement is accurate.
In addition, the patented crown lock protection system complements the
case design, further enhancing the accuracy of the watch’s
timekeeping. All models of the Engineer Hydrocarbon series are
equipped with this function, protecting the crown directly connected
to the movement from the impact from the outside. The rigorous
construction and design of the watch allow it to be magnetically
shielded to 4,800 A / m and to withstand shocks up to 5,000 Gs.
When designing this watch, Ball Watch once again applied advanced
ceramic processing technology, adding a strong luminous coating to the
ceramic timing ring. Ball Watch is the first watch brand to conceive
of combining these two materials, so it can make the digits of the
chronograph ring shine in time, so that the wearer can still read
clearly in the dark. The ceramic material itself provides the
watch’s rotating chronograph outer ring with additional protection
against corrosion, scratches and UV light-these are the most common
problems encountered by watches worn by paratroopers during high-risk
operations. The unidirectional rotation of the chronograph outer ring
of this watch prevents the wearer from accidentally shifting the outer
ring and extending the originally set time.
For any paratrooper, it is very important to be able to read time at
any time, day and night. Engineer Hydrocarbon Spacemaster Airborne is
the same as other Bohr models. Its hour scale and three hands are
inlaid with 3H self-luminous miniature gas lamps. Without relying on
any external light or energy, the brightness of the self-luminous
micro gas lamp is 100 times higher than that of the traditional
traditional luminous paint. The self-luminous miniature gas lamp on
the dial is specially embedded on the metal face to enhance the
scattering of light.
Engineer Hydrocarbon Spacemaster Airborne is equipped with a stainless
steel strap with patent-registered ‘foldable’ buckle and
‘extension system’, allowing the wearer to comfortably adjust the
strap to the wrist-like tightness, and even wear the watch on clothing
Like the paratrooper’s uniform. This new chronograph is even more
traditionally packaged, with a specially designed durable watch case
and an extra premium rubber strap.
Today, Ball Watch continues to follow the brand’s established route,
once again being identified as the leader in the history of
watchmaking and the modern adventure timepiece.
EXPLORATION OF LONGINES MUSEUM PRODUCTION ARCHIVE EXHIBITION AREA
byadmin 28. October 2020
Uncategorized
The production archives exhibition area is located on the left-hand
side of the entrance of the museum. The small room is neatly lined
with top-to-bottom, thick and slightly yellowish documents. These
archives record all the secrets of Longines produced from 1867 to
1967-since 1867, each Longines has an independent number, what
material each Longines uses and which movement it is equipped with,
When and where they are sold are recorded one by one. Even if you are
lucky enough to own a 1867 pocket watch, you can definitely find out
here the name of the watchmaker who performed the speed test for this
watch.
Longines Product Register
There are more than 800 information books in the historical archives.
Thanks to the development of current technology, the data of Longines
can now be queried through computer records. Longines has also scanned
these 800 data books into the computer by scanning. , You can now
check the details of earlier Longines models directly from your
computer. Today, Longines receives about ten to fifteen table friends
from all over the world every day to inquire about the details of the
watches they bought that year.
From the information book opened by the center, we can clearly see
some records on it, the model of the year, the movement used in the
year, and some details of the watchmaker. It can be seen that
Longines’s preservation of these materials is still very complete.
For the preservation of early watch information, I think Longines has
done a great job in this respect, which can be said to be a
continuation of the tradition.
This table is a workbench of the craftsman at the time. Below the
file is a collection of delicate and delicate pocket watches produced
by Agassi Workshop in the mid-19th century. At that time there were no
watches manufactured under the brand name Longines.
Production archives area of ​​Longines Museum
These books outside contain information about some agents who buy
Longines watches. These are not arranged according to the serial
number, some are organized by area, and some may be organized by some
large agents. On the book.
The book opened here is some information from some Longines retailers.
There are also some staff rules at that time. Because everyone used to
work from home at that time, the time was very flexible and scattered,
so it was difficult to organize them in the factory for unified
management. Therefore, there are so many regulations to make them
better obey management.
Ernest Francion hired a young engineer called JacquesDavid to assist
him in designing machines to improve watchmaking processes and
processes. He was invited to participate in the Philadelphia Expo that
year and saw some new technologies in other countries. This book
contains not only text but also hand-drawn drawings. Gap, so this is
also a very important milestone for him to promote the Swiss
watchmaking industry in the past to resist other aspects of
competition and produce some changes in the production organization.
At that time, many Swiss watchmakers were more resistant to the
process of mechanical manufacturing, but JacquesDavid and Ernest
Francion had very keen intuitions and benefited from it. With their
advanced ideas, Longines was also a pioneer of mechanization of Swiss
watchmaking at the time.

Uncategorized
A perfect blend of avant-garde technology and more than 140 years of
exquisite craftsmanship, Audemars Piguet boldly interprets
contemporary design styles, reflecting breakthrough innovations in
watchmaking technology and aesthetic design.
Audemars Piguet’s new ‘Classic & Legend’ work launched in
2016 is a vivid manifestation of the brand’s watchmaking philosophy:
the internal details represent the rigorous level of fine watchmaking,
and the external design is the pinnacle of contemporary art.

Precise work of gem setting
MIL_77249BC-ZZ-A102CR-01
MIL_77249OR-ZZ-A205CR-01
Twenty years after the advent of the Millennium series, Audemars
Piguet has launched two new original design watches.
Equipped with Calibre 5205 and Calibre 5206 self-produced
movements, you can see the beauty of the movement without turning the
watch. This classic design is reinvented again this year,
Create a unique visual effect: the ingenious combination of onyx
and diamonds, gold and pearls outlines the dial design pattern.
At first sight design
77249BC.ZZ.A102CR.01 design
The new millennial women’s watch with a staggered set of onyx
and diamonds creates a unique aesthetic with a graphic design style,
reflecting meticulous craftsmanship. Classic technology presents a new
look: bright-cut diamonds and black velvety onyx form a dial pattern
that looks like a zebra stripe.
77249OR.ZZ.A205CR.01 design
The highlight of the new millennial women’s watch is the
integration of the movement balance wheel and bridge into the overall
design of the dial: the master of gem setting and the watchmaker work
together to create an unparalleled decorative aesthetic with skilled
craftsmanship.
Glamour Pearl
Audemars Piguet’s continuous exploration of high-end jewellery
watches with unique contemporary design interpretations, applying the
classic jewellery material-pearls, to new areas of high-end
watchmaking.
More than a century ago, small pearls were often used to
decorate the case. In 2016, the innovative method based on traditional
decoration technology lit the dial of the new millennial women’s
watch. Pearls seemed to be magnetically adsorbed on black onyx to form
a unique geometric pattern.
The production of the new millennial women’s watch needs to
comply with specific standards for traditional jewelry setting. First,
the jewelry setter needs to finish the pearl selection and choose the
perfect shape
(Round) and specifications (1 mm in diameter), and then set with
the highest accuracy. After completing this production process, the
unique oval dial of the new millennial women’s watch is like a
canvas with pearls.

THE INEXTRICABLE BOND BETWEEN AVIATION AND TASTING BREITLING CURTIS
WARHAWK SPECIAL EDITION WATCH
byadmin 11. September 2020
Uncategorized
Centenary has always had an unusual relationship with the aviation
industry. It has witnessed different glorious moments for mankind by
virtue of precise and reliable precision instruments with outstanding
performance. The experience of working with the aviation industry for
so many years has created Breitling’s highly recognizable aesthetic
design and presented us with many superb wristwatches. At this
year’s Baselworld, Breitling exhibited two chronograph watches and a
large three-hand watch to commemorate the friendship with the classic
P-40 fighter fighter manufacturer. Next we will take the Pilot 8B01
Chronograph Curtis Warhawk Special Edition as an example to experience
this deep cross-border feeling. (Watch model: AB01192A1L1X2)
The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk fighter was one of the main military
fighters of the US Army Aviation Corps during World War II. This
famous fighter was manufactured in large quantities from 1938 to 1944.
It was during this period that Breitling was building cockpit timers
for the Royal Air Force and other Air Force military aircraft. In
these new timepieces, Breitling fuses the DNA design elements of
aviation watches into the watches, imprinting the friendship between
the two parties in the flowing years.
Watch real shot
The watch case is made of stainless steel, and the bezel is the
signature groove design of Breitling Aviation chronograph. The sides
are polished with a brushed process, and the front of the bezel is
polished with a polishing process to highlight the special texture of
the metal.
The two-way rotating bezel is painted with red marks, which is
very eye-catching and easy to read the time information.
The crown and timing button are located on one side of the watch.
The crown is engraved with the brand’s LOGO ‘B’, and is
surrounded by a non-slip texture to facilitate time adjustment. The
buttons on both sides can be used to start or reset the timing device.
The distinctive military green matte dial is impressive,
contrasting with three silver function dials, bringing a strong visual
effect. The hour markers and hands are coated with Super-LumiNova,
which makes it easy to read the time in the dark. The 30-minute
cumulative chronograph at 3 o’clock is painted with a red mark and
echoes with a red central chronograph second hand at the end, adding a
touch of bright color. There is a date display window between 4 and 5
o’clock.
In order to match the overall style of the watch, the green
military strap adds a tough style to the watch, which is very suitable
for those who like sports watches.
The transparent caseback is printed with the Curtis logo and a
fighter fighter pattern. This pattern is inspired by the typical
coating of the fighter jets that were piloted by the American
Volunteer Group and served in the prestigious Flying Tigers of the
Chinese Air Force. Installed. Breitling’s own 01 movement powers the
watch. This movement is certified by the Swiss Official Observatory
(COSC) and is water-resistant to 100 meters.
Summary: Breitling’s new watch has recreated an aviation legend for
us, allowing us to deeply appreciate the deep friendship between the
two. Retro watch styling and bold color applications are extremely
attractive for those who love retro style. If you are interested in
this watch, you may wish to pay more attention. Reference price: ¥

particularly successful with top-level chronograph technology. Over
the years, Minerva has been based on traditional watchmaking
technology and constantly strives for excellence, which can be
regarded as a model of Swiss traditional hand-made watchmaking. The
watch factory’s self-made high-inertia large-scale balance wheel,
balance spring, and chronograph movement components are all fine-tuned
by watchmakers. The scene is the same as that of a century ago. Today,
Minerva, as Montblanc’s ‘Advanced Watchmaking Technology Research
Institute’, is committed to carry forward the century craftsmanship
and technology of the watch factory, which shows Montblanc’s
determination to continue its valuable technical experience.
The classic Minerva Pythagore movement was born in the early 1940s.
At that time, based on the Pythagoras golden ratio principle, Minerva
developed this diameter of 10.5 cents (1 cent is about 2.25 mm).
Movement, giving the watch a new look. The golden ratio refers to a
certain mathematical proportional relationship between the parts of
things, that is, the whole is divided into two, and the ratio of the
larger part to the smaller part is equal to the ratio of the whole to
the larger part. The ratio is about 1: 0.618, which is the length The
segment is 0.618 of the entire segment. 0.618 is considered to be the
most aesthetically significant proportion number, this proportion is
the proportion that can most cause people’s aesthetics, so it is
called the golden section. The four bridges of this movement are
placed at 0 degrees, 45 degrees and 90 degrees to each other, which is
very close to the plan projection of the Pantheon, which is also built
in the golden ratio.

ultra-modern, ultra-lightweight movement with a weight of only 4.73
grams and a vibration frequency of 2.5 Hz. It can provide a 50-hour
power reserve and bring traditional aesthetics to the future.

middle diameter, case back, bezel and crown are all made of unique
ITR²®Kevlar® / carbon material, which is extremely difficult to
control. Titanium is four times lighter than the disruptive composite

harmony and beauty of the movement can be seen at a glance. The
movement components are entirely hand carved. The small seconds dial
at 6 o’clock is hollowed out to make the watch lighter and more
transparent. The charcoal-gray sub-dial is made of ultra-light
anodized aluminum and is directly engraved on the titanium main dial,
with elegant red Melamine hands adorned with red tips, making the time
display clearer and easier to read. All the carefully crafted
technical details elements highlight the consistent aesthetic style of
