Day & Night watch from the Titanic

Mechanical watch in the last century between seven eighties, Zengyin cheap, accurate quartz watches, which were hard hit by the rise, many traditional watch factory are in operation encountered great difficulties. However, after entering the 90's, mechanical watches are showing signs of recovery, and today reveal the booming situation, reason, or is it the requirements of the machine watch, from the time the demand function becomes more appreciation of the delicate machinery .

Not long ago, only 4-year-old Swiss watch factory Romain Jerome Day & Night launched a watch, can be called the Tourbillon watch features the ultimate upgrade to work. The watch has a double tourbillon that the structure of the machine on and nothing ground breaking innovation and breakthrough design, but conceptually it is very bold. It will only be two Tourbillon day and night to display the data, as hours, minutes, seconds, pointer, or other timing functions are completely lacking.

Unless you do not see the sun year round, exhausted in a room without windows, otherwise, at this time whether day or night, you can not see outside it? Obviously see that the timing function in the body this watch to be reduced to a minimum,collection ofvalues is its focus.

While this Day & Night watch as the unique design, Romain Jerome specifically requested BNB Concept created a new, named "RJ One" of the movement, which is exclusive of the watch factory first movement. The two dial tourbillon with a differential system to coordinate the operation of the two, while the energy transfer between them is also a symbol of the eternal cycle of life and day and night. The two Tourbillon will be accurate to alternate every 12-hour sports: when the top representatives in the daytime Tourbillon after the completion of 12 hours of dancing would stop suddenly, and immediately below the representatives from the night and then flying tourbillon. Transfer their operations to capture the moment, I am afraid there are some other fun. Although the dawn double tourbillon design effort-consuming, but the flood watch today's complex functions, only this structure is not enough to make it unmatched in the world. Romain Jerome used the plant to follow other family forms do not come for the killer to watch overweight Day & Night - Titanic factor.

Back in 2007 the Baselwatchshow, Romain Jerome has introduced the first time, called "Titanic DNA" watch series. As the name suggests, the selling point of the series from 1912, sank in the North Atlantic cruise on the famous "Titanic."

As for the so-called "Titanic factor" is not a simple form of nostalgia or to pay tribute to style icon, as in the design Panlongfufeng products, but genuine watch in building materials, used to die in the Titan 3840 meters under the sea Nigeria remains number. "We bought a piece of weighing about 1.5 kg of 'Titanic' wreck, salvaged in 1991 it was up," Romain Jerome's president, said Yvan Arpa, "On the way to buy I can not tell you, but you can guarantee it is true, it has also been confirmed by Harland & Wolff shipyard. "located in Belfast's Harland & Wolff shipyard, it is nearly a hundred years ago the construction of" Titanic "shipyard, Romain Jerome to the wreckage of this piece of valuable , combined with the plant provides replica "Titanic" stainless steel, made of stainless steel case of this rust. Watch the reason for creating such a rust effect, we naturally hope to raise awareness for the "Titanic" legendary memory.

However, to achieve this objective is not an easy task, because the oxidation has always been the enemy of the watch industry. Watch the master at the Romain Jerome painstaking research has finally developed a way to stop the rust process technology, the case can be preserved at the same time the rust will not be further eroded. Watch This combination of old and new material approach is to deliver a message of hope, on behalf of to survive is more important than death, is an expression of rebirth.

Romain Jerome's patch of "Titanic" wreck weighing only 1.5 kg, is not difficult to imagine this series of watches is very rare in the output. Day & Night Watch Global Limited 9, if you do not like this game watch twilight, it can continue to wait and see - in the 2012 "Titanic" before the 100th anniversary of the sinking, Romain Jerome will be gradually introduced with 2012 watch this legendary factor.

Watch the antique table that we know about?

Everyone has a bell, and everyone wearing a watch. However, the auction market in Asia watches the rapid development in recent years to the rise of the thing. Antique pocket watch, whether historical precipitation and the decorative aesthetics, or the complexity of the modern watch features and exquisite workmanship, are attracting more and more people into watches auction.

The end of October 2008, Sotheby's Hong Kong autumn auction of luxury watches, with a total turnover of close to 48 million Hong Kong dollars, Sotheby's Hong Kong over the years to refresh the maximumclockauction records. Auction, Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Jacob & Co watches continue to make a success of brands such as; the first time, the theme of the special ladies watch film, but also all the shoot. Hong Kong, Christie's auction early in December to the list also produced elaborate works, including a royal palace goods pomegranate-shaped pocket watch called the classic pocket watch made in the extraordinary.

In order to show the reader watchescollectionof basic features, the author first connection Sotheby's Asia director, business development director of the Department of Jiao Mei Watches (Peony Kiu) President, on the basis of the following questions one by one to ask these watches.

Author: auction, watch and store general merchandise watch, there are different how?

Jiao Mei: watch here are usually top-class international brands, such as well-known Patek Philippe (PatekPhilippe), Vacheron Constantin (Vacheron Constantin) and so on. Brand good premise, but also the challenges in the watch in a number of complex functions. Therefore, we often see description appears tourbillon watch, power storage, calendar, moon phases and other functional words. Materials and processes are also important, such as pink gold or platinum, platinum, there is no diamond, enamel Yihuo application process. Of course, watch the limited and specific number or not, also decided to auction the scarcity of the element!

I: Why go to auction to buy watch? Watch shop has a lot.

Jiao Mei: watch either at auction is very scarce, very difficult to buy stores in the general watch; or is cheaper than the market price. This would have been to buy. That one or two million dollar watch, often when manufacturers in the production of a limited few, such as a total only do dozens of pieces, if for specific numbers, such as "1" or "8." These are all special and rare show to watch. The high-end watch than normal, our valued customers are generally more attractive. Plus commission after the transaction price, at least not higher than the market price for the store watch.

Author: Other art classes are generally the more valuable the more ancient, watch the situation?

Jiao Mei: both new and old, as long as something good, a small number, all very difficult to buy. This watch will be expensive. For the modern watch, the more new, more complex functions, the brand more loud, the more expensive price. Moreover, if this watch is a special limited edition number of complicated watches, buy back, picked a good time to re-sell, there may be money. Antique watches are not the same side, first year of issue, and the historical value and heritage context, and their decorative clocks, such as whether the process with the enamel, is inlaid treasurejewelrystone.

I: If there is interest in buying the face of a clock auction, but guests do not know, how would you recommend for him?

Jiao Mei: It depends on the specific needs of the guests. If he wanted to buy for long-term collection and preservation, then the top of the antique pocket watch is a more prudent choice. If it is bought to wear their own utility, then some of the classic brand of classic style can be considered, such as sesame chain Tourbillon Lange. And, like Patek Philippe, Vacheron, Lange and other such big brands, the value of the insurance of more. If he just want to short-term investment, then perhaps some of the brand is relatively inexpensive watches, better time to buy and sell, pick a good time to be able to earn post backhand. Of course, if he wants to flaunt wealth, all shiny diamond watch more friends.

Author: Women watch how the market? Women watch it pay more attention to material rather than function?

Jiao Mei: In recent years, women form the market is getting better. This may be a modern woman's fashion sense, an extension associated with. Many female customers is not limited to use of jewelryornamentsto dress, watches have become an important option. But mostly female customers to buy from the perspective of the beautiful. Looks beautiful, exquisitely designed, Rangbaodan diamond, the more important. Female guests will not mind too much whether a challenge to watch how many complex functions inside.

Author: watch the production and consumption have originated in Europe. Top watch brands now are almost all from Europe. For Asian customers, the purchase and collections in recent years to the list of what changes the market?

Jiao Mei: Asians, especially Chinese, watches like a long time. Qing court collection watches, so that the Western craftsmen specifically manufactured to cater to Chinese tastes pocket watch. Over the past decade, the Asian market soon watch, especially the complex features top international brand watches, more and more popular. The brand began in Asia in the Chinese do in-depth extension, and the establishment of agents of the context.

Jiao gold watch from the perspective of the main talk. But she also stressed that beautiful antique pocket watch is also very Zhen Han palace-level collections. Surviving only because of very small, they are increasingly unwilling to Nachulaimai collectors, so very few in circulation, only occasionally released in the market are excellent. This time, Hong Kong, Christie's auction of exquisite watches have three rare painted enamel, artificial carved pocket watch. The pocket watch manufactured specifically for the Chinese market. While this is one of the most compelling small and absolutely not backing a long history Piguet & Meylan, gold, cloisonne enamel Xiang small pearl, two asked to play spring, center seconds, pomegranate-shaped pocket watch. Presented by the British royal family is said to be Emperor Qianlong Emperor goods, about 1820 system, valuation from 1.2 to 2 million Hong Kong dollars. Literature research, to create a pair of the same watch can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty years, the British royal family as gifts by the emperor Qianlong Emperor of China products. George III was King of England appointed George Macartney (GeorgeMacartney) mission for the British Ambassador, has also appointed George Staunton (George Staunton) as Fushi, together with other diplomats to visit the Qing Dynasty ordered the composition of missions. This watch has been left, therefore pass in nearly a century of China until after the outbreak of the Revolution of 1911, with the royal family to flee and disappear in the palace. In 1924, Emperor Pu Yi fled the Forbidden City, and this legend is also associated with left pocket watch.

This precious pocket watch in addition to witness history in the noble origin, its design and workmanship worthy of note also in the future. Hong Kong, Christie's Assistant Vice President, Ministry of experts Chow Yin watch group (Amy Chow) President answered a question the author's meticulous.

Pocket watches are generally a single production, and this is made a pair. Why? Because the British know that the Chinese people like pairs only good fortune, so do a pair of Qianlong Emperor and Empress to one person one. The shape carved into the shape like the pomegranate, symbol of the pomegranate is a symbol in China, the moral of many descendants. Translucent red enamel paint, embedded with gold, red and yellow with the color of this style is also specifically cater to the aesthetic of Chinese imperial habits. Pearl pocket watch was made popular elements. This pocket watch precious pearl inlay accompanied by 1200 into a petal shape, plus wings crown decoration, colorful. Moreover, even in the present, can make such exquisite complexity, and asked to play two spring function of the watch, not common. As early as the spring of 2005 in the auction, Christie's HK to 3.032 million bid to sell the watch. After a lapse of three and a half years, wait and see.

The other two watch, though not the Qianlong Emperor, although in unique style. One is the same by the watchmakers Piguet & Meylan in 1820, China produced exquisite royal gold, enamel Xiang small pearl, two asked to play spring, center seconds watch, valued from 400,000 to 500,000 Hong Kong dollars. While this watch is depicted on a busy shipping port of Qingdao picture, take a closer look there are ships flying a foreign flag. Is a typical port of landscape subjects. The other one is Ilbery for the Chinese market and produced a rare pearl in gold and enamel Xiang, composite pocket watch, about 1820 system, valuation from 320,000 to 480,000 Hong Kong dollars. The surface is painted an official portrait. In fact, such an approach is very popular at the time: the Qing nobility like to watch, they watch the European Masters or Ming Jiang ordered his favorite subjects. And his own portrait on the watch is a very common practice. Custom overseas, the Chinese use the pocket watch trend is quite popular in the Qing Golden Age, so that when the European watchmaking expertise in order to meet the tastes of Chinese export manufacturing various types of pocket watch here.

Zou Yin Kwan, said at auction antique clocks, watches and clocks manufactured in the history that has special historical and technological value of the clock; luxury watch, that in accordance with the concept of high-end jewelry design and making of watches and clocks; fashion brand, the main means by buyers pursuit of a complex function of brand watches.

Antique clocks antique watchs need special attention to product phase, if damaged or scratched, collectible value will be greatly reduced. In the context preserved, if age-old, might have ordered the illustrious heritage background, it is good enough it! Luxury brand watches the watch and are mainly used to wear. Must buy love! Brand, product phase, the taste of a less.

It is worth mentioning that the current economic crisis on the watch market impact will not be too obvious. This section is not the object of speculation, so we are basically in a relatively realistic markets and trade flows. Undulating, without too much worry.

 　　

Luxury goods sector, while the excellent fishing off the watch industry

"Fishing out of bounds", rivers and lakes that are taboo for the Young and Dangerous is concerned. But in the luxury goods sector, it is commonplace. If occasionally, we say good reputation of its "Crossover", if insisted whom are altogether referred to as "diversified." "Fashion watch," that is the fashion brand launched its own brand of watches, no doubt is the recent manifestation of this wave of diversification.

For the fashion watch, hate is a very extreme indeed. Fashion brand for fans who often rush; while playing for the mechanical watch was originally born players, many will be treated as senior watch the "South Guo," but his nose. In fact, although the watch is a fashion category, but a brand because of their natures in different markets in the fashion style of the watch is completely different, their "short" a bit too arbitrary.

Undeniably, many brands brand authorization issued indiscriminately, or without intention to launch a bunch of features in addition to the fashion brand Logo no watch, the watch does is to fashion a bad reputation for big important reason for its fashion in their watch looking for a mechanical watch are not easy, natural to a mechanical watch enthusiasts could not understand. But they also have their reasons, fashion clothes, the watch has always been people with products from time to time for style, if using mechanical movement, a few days back on the chain would not re-adjust the time, does that mean trouble for buyers, this occasions quartz watch is a perfect match.

Moreover, their fans, but in fact have a brand to buy branded jewelry, watches, but such as necklaces, purses and other new forms of embodiment, mechanical watch enthusiasts insist to ask them to watch the fashion watch, rather foolishly sentimental .

Fashion models watch to release the mechanical movement was undoubtedly a big step forward. In this regard, I should be highly commended Emporio Armani, which introduced mechanical fashion watch, even with a Chinese-made movement, can be considered to help China's mechanical watch movements to go abroad for more people familiar with the tremendous contributions made by - - Yes, after the Armani fans can justifiably with Emporio Armani, and will support this as a patriotic act of domestic products. However, because the reasons for a premium brand, Emporio Armani's mechanical watch that has the price of traditional mechanical watch brand entry models had almost the same.

J12 Tourbillon Series

Of course, in today's fashion in the watch, no lack of bullish watch a large number of real market, as new business growth and wantonly layout - Fortunately, there is the public version of ETA movement, and high end OEM manufacturer's help, fashion brand to be launched complex function even Tourbillon watch is not difficult for the senior. So overnight, prior to the quartz watch fashion-oriented advanced features of the watch after another into the machine watch.

To know the watch has beautiful people, this is undoubtedly a blessing. Fashion brand was born to do, the design of the watch with the traditional watch brand, how much will be somewhat different. Famous footwear brands such as Salvatore Ferragamo Vara series launched, every watch is accompanied by three different bracelet colors, easy to wear those clothes with different colors. Another example is the famous Chanel J12 Tourbillon series, have used 46 rectangular diamonds, weighing 4.5 karats limited edition, though the eyes of some mechanical supremacy is superfluous distracting, but since they wish to have their own beauty who understand the watch, will have fame or fortune.

High-end fashion in a public form, the most promising individuals or Hermes. Hermes itself, even if the big names in the fashion industry's biggest names, and this style continued to watch the same area. Shares Vancher, so Hermes watch its no longer need to rely on the public version of ETA movement, such as last year's very popular equestrian champion of that paragraph (Dressage) will be used Vancher P1929 movement, regarded in recent years to squeeze into the hot half of the "self-organic core, "the force. Of course, bullish Hermes, also lies not only in their own movement. In fact, the watch early in the Hermes and other companies are still using version Valjoux 7750 movement, it would have been able to watch home and those of traditional top ten brands, professional journal for those who really watches a regular part of the evaluation.

Watch: From the timer to the collection

Although some object in life though never left us, but they are role changes with the times changing. 30 years ago, the watch can be considered pieces of a rarity, and the girl find the man if the object sent one watch, one piece that can make girls feel more fashionable things, it is the embodiment of man's well-off family property. Now, say a little exaggerated, almost not many people willing to wear "heavy" and watch, even if some people are willing to wear it, watches are no longer a timing tool, she has become one kind of status and personality of the typical highlight items symbol. In addition, once a prominent wall hanging at home or on the watch highlight family of watches and clocks, also gradually change from the necessities of people into the closet for a fascinating collection of. Haikou, watch collectors, as a Professor Liu said the elderly, the time clock ticks, it seems, his status also will be an interesting change.

Professor Liu displayed his collection of old Soviet revolutionary memorial watch set

80s of last century

Watch a "Big Three" of

Datong Road, Haikou, a company who lives in dormitory areas for the elderly Professor Liu is a retired cadres. He is 70's last century came to Hainan as the talent introduction, through the southern island of Hainan, which was once the province of international travel times change, and eager to watch the collection he has not watch this little thing 30 years feelings of profound change.

Mr. Liu told reporters that the 70's, his power from a vocational school in Guangdong after graduation went to Hainan "pioneer" and his life into the power industry in Hainan, while the clock is his most favorite of this life 1.

"At that time the people of Hainan can not find places to buy the watch, then victory is the sea of sand road along the busy area, although there are several small traders row, daily tickets are received, such as items like clocks are rare.

"At that time the watch can not just anybody can buy, ask for help through the back door to find relations." Mr. Liu said at the time watch should be under the planned economy to buy tickets, watch though is necessary, but it turns out to be "easy to get the daughter, hard to get a watch. " Although Mr. Liu has been retired for many years, can watch as much as the young love of the time, has been wearing a wrist heavy "radar." Bring up the past, the old man said his most memorable is the "Shanghai."

Mr. Liu recalled that when he has a Shanghai Brand watches, "to spend more than 120 dollars to buy, and really quite luxurious, and the top of their wages for months! Careful to wear, sleep is not willing to Abstract." Mr. Liu that was the most popular imported watch has Enicar, Rome, Swiss watches, etc., is made of "Shanghai", "Tianjin", "Zhong Shan" ... ..., made the watch in the 50-90 dollar price range generally, as Hainan no local production of the watch business, people have to go outside the province to buy to buy the watch, he watches his father is doing business in Hong Kong to buy him and mail it back. "Probably in 1985, when once I was sent to Guangzhou, Hainan, the power sector of a vocational school, was in Guangzhou, a famous mountain, there are many shops to buy the watch, never seen in Hainan so many kinds of watches, I was instantly attracted. "Mr. Liu said that since the trip to Guangzhou, so that he felt after the charm watches, and watch the indissoluble bond, but was more than 40 yuan a month's wages, Tim full stomach on a good family, and simply can not afford a watch, had to "look the watch beyond the reach of" the.

It is understood that the late 80s of last century, quartz watches, mechanical watch technology to produce mainly caused by the impact of Chinese watch, because travel time and high precision, without winding, and inexpensive, stylish, quartz digital watches has become when people buy watchs choice, some people also put on a quartz clock.

 90s of last century

Come watch phone "back second-line"

90's of last century, with the deepening of China's reform and opening up, improving people's lives, whether spiritual or material life, great changes have taken place. BP machine from the early 90s (pager) epidemic, to quietly phone the mid 90s pop, a variety of BP machines and mobile phones have timekeeping function watches the status and greatly decrease the price, many people took many years of wearing the watch picked. Many people are still hard at home clock ticking along, but slowly has become a decoration, lost its original meaning.

"Some of the mall in Hainan gradually began to watch, watch the counter." Mr. Liu told reporters the mid 90s of last century, the Swiss high-end watch, represented by "overseas Army" watch-making industry in China has brought new impact, Rolex , Omega, radarwatchesthe first to enter the Chinese mainland, the product family, count, love their brands have entered, the concept of luxury was introduced to China. With the development boom in Hainan, one hundred thousand talents to Hainan, and huge spending power, buying watches do not have to go outside the province to a hard, eager to watch a certain economic base, he began to spend a lot of money and energy, using every means he could think of "solicit" clocks and watches.

"90's of last century, my monthly salary has risen to a more than 1000 pieces, have some economic foundation to buy clocks and watches." Mr. Liu said that from the beginning of man operation to the entire family, and later developed into the market to Favorites faithful to find form, "Amoy watch", asked a friend or relative to travel abroad or to Hong Kong and other places to buy the watch. Mr. Liu, like in a clock like a child's world, the more "play", the more "play" more happy, more "play" more You Jin. "With time, the phone can see there, is not popular to watch slowly, and people on the clock also reduces the demand for passion." Mr. Liu said, laughing in the process of collection of watches watches as he felt the tremendous changes in people from the extreme inspired by watches and clocks, to the land of the watch and watches are electronic counters in the high-end import watch, watches from the necessity to normal supplies and then to the real status symbol, so that Mr. Liu with emotion changes of the times and people's living standards and levels of life seeking to upgrade.

In the new century

Watches have become a fashion collection

Into the 21st century, watches not worth the general population can afford, some high-end watches, gold-silver mounted easily diamonds, one should tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands. "The poor play cars, rich people play watch" concept of consumption is gradually penetrating consumer groups in China.

This reporter learned that 80 of the last century, the supply of watch shops in Hainan have the counter for more than 95% are domestic watch, last century, the early 90s account for 80% of the domestic watch, to the late 90s of last century the proportion of imports and 90 %, to import the watch now is "to shine." "Mr. Liu said, now watch this is becoming a status symbol, but also increasing the value of the function," the general white-collar workers may pick a few thousand to 10,000 price of the watches, and some merchants to accept the price can go to a few 100 000, watches have become manifest as a symbol of wealth and value.

11, walked into Mr. Liu's watch collection room, reporters were attracted by a variety of clocks, including two well-made watch by the combination of Mr. Liu's most striking. One set of American Maritime Tiu Chung, rotary clock can be formed and the French Angel clock watch portfolio Mr. Liu called for the "three wishes in life," that is "smooth sailing", "Turnaround," "longevity."

" What's bothering when his wife advised him as long as a "pack up and make your pile of watches go," over half an hour to calm the Fed.

"Are more than 60 people, and a torment to watch from, as is the same as being childish." This is the wife of his evaluation.
