Only one minute hand on the dial? See how Chopard’s instant jump watches are rendered

Last year, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Chopard cheap watchmaking workshop, Chopard launched its first instant jump watch, the L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 watch. This watch not only retains the consistent characteristics of the L.U.C series, but also incorporates four barrels in the built-in movement to ensure that the movement can provide high-efficiency and long-term power for up to 8 days after winding. So, what is an instant jump watch? To put it simply, the calendar is instantly completed during the conversion process, jumping to the next day’s calendar at a very fast speed, although this technology is not uncommon these days. In the watchmaking industry as early as the early 20th century, it was a very difficult challenge to realize the instantaneous jump calendar function. So, what is the specific design of the watch? Let’s look down: (watch model: 161977-5001)

The L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 has a rounded and refined shape with very smooth lines, and its shape is inspired by the hunter pocket watch designed by Louis-Ulysse Chopard. The watch is equipped with a 40 mm case with a thickness of 10.30 mm, which is more comfortable to wear in a moderate size.

The white as jade dial is based on 18K rose gold, and then fired by the Grand Feu enamel process, showing this ultimate pure color luster. This processing process comes from the hands of enamel artisans in the Chopard watchmaking workshop, and the processing process is very difficult. , the enamel is fired several times at a high temperature of 820°C to obtain a complete and flawless white enamel plate. In order to ensure a more refined style, the craftsmen carry out slight polishing to make the dial have a rounded appearance, showing Unique light and shadow effects. In addition to the dial, the hour markers, the scale circle and the Chopard logo at 12 o’clock are all made of craftsmanship and are more complicated.

The most conspicuous thing on the dial is that with the center as the origin, only an 18K rose gold minute hand is set up. If you look closely, the 6 o’clock window is not a traditional date window, but a window used to display the hours, which jumps instantaneously. When the device is working, the concise and clear minute hand will not block this change. At the same time, the window design with black characters on a white background also makes it more eye-catching when reading. wholesale replica watches

Through the transparent case back, we can clearly appreciate the L.U.C 98.06-L movement inside. Looking at the bottom of the watch, due to the overall round and unique “pocket watch” style design, the bottom cover also continues this harmonious beauty. In order to ensure that the watch can successfully complete the instantaneous jump without the “secret” of the stoppage phenomenon, the movement is equipped with 4 stacked barrels and incorporates the Chopard Quattro patented technology to ensure that the watch rotates on the hour disc. In the case of consuming a lot of energy, it can provide a power reserve of up to 8 days, which is very rare in the bezel. The thickness of the movement is 4.85 mm and it is equipped with a gooseneck hairspring for more precise adjustment. The balance spring is equipped with a Philip end curve, which allows precise control of the oscillation of the regulator.

Such an excellent and chic instant jump watch is full of high-class and classical elegance in terms of size and overall style design, and it can be said that the design is full of unique charm. Coupled with a complex and precise movement, it is quite perfect from the inside out. cheap replica watches

Patek Philippe 5750P Minute Repeater

The new Calibre R 27 PS and its four patents are placed in a watch, showing novel design elements, but with a typical Patek Philippe appearance and feel. Limited to 15 pieces, the 5750P is a classic model with a diameter of 40 mm. Its shape is reminiscent of the brand’s previous minute repeater models-especially the 5178 minute repeater with cathedral gongs-its round watch Case and stepped lugs. This is a fairly thin watch with a height of 11.1 mm. If these elements are classic, then the dial is much bolder, but equally impressive.

The design of the dial is composed of 5 parts, with “a hollow pattern inspired by the spoke wheels of old cars”, which stands out against a black background with a snail pattern. Complex and complex, the same pattern repeats on the small second hand, which is a rotating disc with small marks, as a hand-this creates a dynamic effect on the watches replica. The time is indicated by flat white gold Dauphine hands and black white gold kite-shaped hour markers.

The back shows the internal Calibre R 27 PS, with classic (understanding rather than cathedral) gongs, of course in the middle, the tuning-fork-shaped tuning rod carries the fortissimo amplifier’s transparent oscillator chip system. This 3Hz automatic movement is equipped with all the technology of the brand, including the Silinvar Gyromax balance spring launched in 2006. All parts are beautifully decorated. The platinum micro-rotor dial with Geneva stripes, bevels and ray patterns is made of laser-based light-absorbing surface texture technology, which can make some parts appear black.

The Patek Philippe Advanced Research 5750 Minute Repeater is equipped with a striking orange alligator leather strap with contrasting black stitching and is closed by a platinum folding clasp.

Franck Muller Vanguard Revolution 3 Skeleton

Franck Muller had a wonderful time.

There are many words that can be used to describe the complexity of Franck Muller, but “restraint” is definitely not one of them. From the whimsical Crazy Hours to the incredible Aeternitas Mega, Famulan’s timepieces are not for the faint-hearted.

One of its latest products comes from the brand’s revolutionary tourbillon series, which means you can already believe that it is visually and technically shocking. And, indeed, Vanguard Revolution 3 Skeleton is very worth seeing-it is a steroid tourbillon if you will.

The dial itself is composed of many components, and you will be a little lost, not knowing where and what to look at first. Therefore, the design team included a domed sapphire crystal at the six o’clock position (it is also on the back) as the magnifying glass underneath-the three-axis tourbillon, which Frank Muller copy made his debut in the Revolution. 3 Looking back on 2004 and the pride of the series joy.

You may ask, what is the difference between a three-axis tourbillon and an ordinary tourbillon? Well, in addition to being very beautiful, the former compensates for gravity in all positions, instead of a traditional tourbillon, it only corrects gravity when the watch is upright. So, basically, a super winner.

Of course, the use of a three-axis tourbillon also means that there are three carriages, and more power is needed to drive the gear train and activate the balance wheel. With this in mind, the movement has a 10-day power reserve, and you will see this indication at 12 o’clock.

Since the time required for the three carriages to make a round is different, retrograde displays are set at four o’clock and eight o’clock to indicate the carriage of eight minutes and 60 seconds respectively. One hour later, the third car made a round. men watches cheap

The Vanguard Revolution 3 Skeleton first appeared in the Vanguard case (the previous Revolution models were all installed in the Cintrée Curvex case), using black PVD ​​coated grade 2 titanium for ultra-light treatment. It is paired with a red Alcantara strap-a suede-like material that you will often find in car fixtures-and comes with a special box with an automatic opening system. Considering the dizzying price of S$770,486 for this watch, there is also a five-year tourbillon warranty that should reassure most wearers.

Although it may be out of reach for us mortals (well, very out of reach), the Vanguard Revolution 3 Skeleton is no ordinary luxury men watch. With superb technology, incredible craftsmanship and pure charm, this is a collector who prides himself (or herself) as a truly unique person.
