In Lange, the word SAXONIA is the embodiment of simple design and charming machinery. Both new SAXONIAs show the essence of the watch, as can be seen in the harmonious layout of the mother-of-pearl dial and the meticulous design of the factory-made movement.

SAXONIA white 18K gold and 18K rose gold models with mother-of-pearl dial

   The two latest SAXONIA watches are available with a 35 mm case and are made of white 18K gold or 18K rose gold. The white dial of solid silver is covered with a thin and gorgeous mother-of-pearl. Elegant solid 18K gold hands and bar-shaped hour markers complement the white alligator strap.
   Lange has always taken watchmaking skills seriously, like the manual winding movement of SAXONIA, which is already a big gem in itself. This L941.1 caliber brings together Lange quality marks such as traditional decorative components, screw-fixed gold sleeves, and hand-engraved balance wheel plywood, which has repeatedly demonstrated the famous reputation of the watch factory.

In 2010, Louis Vuitton introduced an innovative and interesting new time reading method: Tambour Spin Time, the secret lies in the beating cubes instead of the traditional hour hand Display the time at the time mark position.

Love sailing, love Tambour Spin Time
On the basis of this exquisite movement structure, La Fabrique du Temps, a watchmaking workshop under Louis Vuitton’s advanced watchmaking workshop, further developed and manufactured the same series of nautical watches—Tambour Spin Time Regatta. This fun-filled movement has two important functions: timekeeping and a five-minute countdown to the regatta — five flip cubes will show the passage of time.
According to the latest format of the America’s Cup regatta, the pre-race countdown has been changed to 5 minutes. The Tambour Time Spin Nautical Watch helps the sailor make full use of these five minutes to adjust the hull to the best starting position. The 30-minute countdown hand will start to move to the right, and the 5-minute countdown cube will slowly flip in turn, turning from blue to red. This way of counting can count the countdown before the game into the total duration.
Following the platinum model launched in 2012, Louis Vuitton launched a limited edition Tambour Time Rotating Rose Gold Nautical Wrist this year. This new rose gold version features a crown and buttons covered with rubber and an elegant dark gray alligator strap. Through the pale gray transparent sapphire surface, the movement and the Geneva wave pattern on the surface can be seen faintly.

Some time ago, I was writing an article about the 60th anniversary of the Longines Army Flag Series when sorting out new watches of various brands at the Basel Watch Fair, expressing a point of view from the purchase and daily From the perspective of wearing, this replica watch is a watch I think Longines is worth buying this year. I mainly want to say three reasons. One is that this watch will be listed in the country so you can buy it (because it is limited, it may not be easy). ), Second, it is suitable for daily wear, and third, its design is loyal to the original and has modern beauty, so it is more beautiful. After the article was published, some tablemates left a message ‘However, it is still an ETA movement’, which resonated with my contrast at that time. I think ‘how to face a watch with a good design but equipped with an ETA movement’ is really worth thinking about.
Where does the contrast come from

Equipped with ETA’s automatic movement provided by Longines Longines Replica Watch Limited Edition price 15900 yuan

   In 2013, the Swatch Group reached an agreement with the Swiss Competition Commission to gradually reduce the external supply of movements. Since then, homemade movements have been pushed to the forefront of public opinion. We can clearly feel that the watch market after 2013, A large number of self-made movements have been launched, and it is not uncommon for high-end watch factories to even launch a few new self-made movements in the same year. Let us even have an illusion that the self-made movement must be a beautiful movement. We have reason to believe that the re-selection of the movement supplier or the independent development of the movement, in the long run, the latter is a more ideal but also a risky choice, and the booming watch market at the time, Many manufacturers have confidence (the market has cooled in the past two years, and the pace of launching self-made movements has obviously slowed down a lot). The insistence of the high-end watch factory on the self-made movement and the good performance over the years have also convinced us from the bottom of our heart that the self-made movement represents the strength of a watch factory, represents the sincerity of a brand, and a watch is even higher. The value of having such a watch makes us more decent.

More and more brands are starting to make their own movements

   It is precisely because the homemade movement gives us a beautiful feeling. Relatively speaking, as a general-purpose movement, ETA seems very ordinary. Watches using ETA movement have a lot of impression value (without comparison, just No harm). In terms of quantity, ETA movements are very common, because they have been seen everywhere, and even so many third-party movement manufacturers are fully modelling ETA movements, which are rare and expensive. ETA movements are everywhere , Naturally does not appear to be expensive. In terms of price, watches with homemade movements are generally more expensive than watches with ETA movements. Generally speaking, the public price is less than 20,000. We can hardly find mechanical watches with homemade movements, but use ETA movements. There are a large number of watches, and they are mainly concentrated at this price, so we think that ETA movement is not a high-value movement. Furthermore, we can always see a certain brand launching a self-made movement, what craftsmanship it uses, what kind of meticulous decoration, high technology content, etc., and ETA movement we rarely see such ‘advertising’, so The ETA movement doesn’t know much, so it doesn’t consider it special. It is for these reasons that we have some prejudice against the ETA movement, even if many watch friends have watches equipped with the ETA movement, and the time is particularly accurate, but it can not change the impression that the ETA movement is an ordinary movement.

ETA 2824-2 movement

   Because of this, when the brand has an excellent design, the watch is very much loved from all aspects, but under such a design with a distinctive characteristic and historical background, we should think it should have a seemingly beautiful The self-made movement with higher technical content, but the fact is that only a higher-level universal movement is used, so people have a psychological contrast.
Movement and watch should be treated differently
   We certainly believe that the vast majority of watches using homemade movements have good quality. At the beginning, we were willing to pay for these new technologies, new designs, new enthusiasm, and new values, but gradually, We have found that some brands of self-maintained cores have achieved a high return rate. Despite the brand’s reputation, their self-maintained cores are not necessarily more stable, more durable, and more refined, and we ca n’t learn from advertising and brand information. Learned. Therefore, in the first two years, many people in the industry came out to remind that the homemade movement watch that sounds beautiful is not necessarily a myth, it may also be a fairy tale, which requires our rational treatment.

Most of Bell & Ross watches use ETA movements, but they do not prevent it from being very distinctive.

   Let me first talk about the ETA movement in my eyes: I certainly think that the mainstream mechanical movements of ETA are ordinary movements, but I also determine that these mainstream mechanical movements are good movements, fortunately, the quality is stable and the precision High and cost-effective. At the same time, we should distinguish the movement from the watch. After all, we buy a watch. Except for some large and complex watches, the movement only accounts for a small part of the value of the watch. I do n’t think it’s worth it to give up your favorite brand and design for the movement.

Tag Heuer changes ETA movement

   The quality of the ETA movement, I do n’t want to say more. Many watchmakers bought back an ETA movement. Just adjusting it can achieve high accuracy, even within 5 seconds per day. This is because of the ETA movement itself. Excellent quality and reasonable structure. To give a less appropriate example, I think that the ETA movement is just like Nokia in previous mobile phones. It is ordinary, but it is easy to use, cost-effective, and unmatched in the same price range.

ETA special for Longines movement

   Back to the Longines at the beginning, in fact, the Clock and Forms Bureau has now formed a very independent barrier. Let’s not talk about brands with the ability to make their own movements. We mainly discuss watches equipped with ETA movements. My point is, The movement has become part of the brand’s value, and the movement has already been selected when choosing a brand, so it is good to look at the brand.
   The reason for this is that the Swatch Group is a large application of ETA movements. Ordinary grade ETA movements are used in Tissot, Hamilton and Certina, and more advanced are used in Mido, and top ETA. Movements are mainly used in Longines, Radar and other brands. In addition, Montblanc, Tag Heuer, Baume & Mercier, Tudor, Breitling are also major customers of such movements. Some of these brands are not only in use, but also replace key components. To improve the performance and value of the movement, it is a modified ETA core. So when you choose a brand, you basically choose what level of ETA movement. However, we have to believe in the big brands and small brands because everyone is unfamiliar with it.

Breitling Super Ocean Series Watch with ETA Movement

   From the perspective of ordinary watch enthusiasts, we do n’t have much to say about a universal movement like ETA. When we are talking with friends about an ETA movement watch, you can say that it is a mechanical movement and can automatically Apart from being on the chain and going well, is there any technical talk about it? I don’t think so. Based on this, every time a friend asks me to recommend a watch, if it is not an Omega, IWC, Rolex or above, I generally only say a few recommended brands, and then look at the style you like, the movement does not need to pay too much attention As long as there is no quality problem under the test. Even for big names like Patek Philippe and Rolex, the movement is only a small part of what we talk about. What we like is their quality, design, heritage, feelings and stories.
   Therefore, when we are faced with a watch equipped with an ETA movement, is the brand and design of this watch your favorite, is its price suitable, and is its after-sales guaranteed? These are better than this movement. More important.

Enamel Watch
What is enamel made of? Start with a pile of sand & hellip; & hellip;

What is enamel made of?
When it comes to enamel watches, they must be described as more expensive than sky-high prices. In fact, the raw materials of enamel itself are extremely ordinary: nothing more than some silicates such as quartz, feldspar, borax, etc. To put it plainly, it is a pile of sand. The same composition, which is attached to the surface of the pottery or porcelain tire, is called & quot; glaze & quot; and the building tile is called & quot; glazed & quot ;, and attached to the metal surface is & quot; enamel & quot;
Enamel has the warmth of jade, the brilliance of jewelry, and the detail of bone china. The most important thing is that this material is timeless and will not oxidize and fade. Even after hundreds of years, the bright colors of enamel will not fade away.
Why are enamel watches so expensive?
Although enamel is beautiful, it is very risky. The paint of various glazes cannot be mixed, and the fluidity of the glaze and the water volatilization during firing need to be reasonably considered. Secondly, whether the outline of the pattern becomes blurred after firing in the furnace is a risk of painted enamel, but also its value. For example, uneven heating during firing may not produce the same color even with the same glaze. In addition, it needs to be fired in at least twenty processes at a high temperature of 800 ° C. At each step, there is a danger that the glaze may break or the color may change slightly. Therefore, with little care, the entire production process will be abandoned. For every successful work, you may face multiple times of rejection before.
How does the color of enamel come from?
The basic color of enamel is white or colorless, and many other colors come from combining with different metal oxides. For example, antimony is yellow, gold is red, rhodium is black, manganese is purple, cobalt oxide is blue-violet, copper oxide is blue-green, nickel oxide is red when potassium is contained, yellow-green when sodium is contained, etc. .
The enamel watch must be drawn manually, and no machine can replace it today. It takes hundreds of hours for a skilled technician to draw such a small surface. The color of the enamel watch is difficult to control. The key is that the melting point and color performance of the enamel and mineral are difficult to control. For example, enamel with low ductility and cobalt can be fired at medium temperature (732 to 788 degrees Celsius) to produce a special color such as peacock blue. If the color is separated from transparent and opaque, the same color enamel is used in different materials. There is also color difference after firing.
Now the high-tech watchmaking trend is rampant, and the role of people is almost reduced to the lowest level in history. Only the quartz era is comparable. Most watches are cold, without the artistic atmosphere brought out by popularity. The hand-painted enamel watch gives a warm feeling and is worthy of appreciation and play. GQ once again invited Mr. Yongling Lin, the authority of Asian watches and clocks, to tell you how to appreciate and collect enamel watches. In addition, we also made an interesting analysis of enamel watches.
Why are enamel watches worth collecting?

Why enamel watches are worth collecting
Now the high-tech watchmaking trend is rampant, and the role of people is almost reduced to the lowest level in history. Only the quartz era is comparable. Most watches are cold, without the artistic atmosphere brought out by popularity. The hand-painted enamel watch gives a warm feeling and is worthy of appreciation and play. Those who are interested in this can take a walk to the Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva, where there are twenty or thirty enamel pocket watches created from the 1960s to the 1980s. After I watched it, I suddenly felt “I’m awakened.” Is it difficult to make a perpetual calendar chronograph? difficult. But compared to this level of miniature enamel watch, it is really too easy. Because it is not difficult to find machines and people making high-complexity watches, there are only a handful of such enamel paintings.
What is a good enamel watch?
In addition to color control during the production of enamel watches, the most important thing is to have superb stone polishing skills, eliminate bubbles or sand holes, and make the entire surface smooth and bright. The legendary enamel master Suzanne Rohr once said that when her polishing master left, she could not even paint again. We can’t see enamel paintings comparable to pocket watches now. The enamel master became a monk halfway, and didn’t even think about drawing a good picture, let alone imitate the masterpiece of an art master. It is no longer easy to draw a picture, and polishing is definitely not done. Therefore, in addition to the bubbles in this level of painting, the side also looks like the moon’s surface, which is uneven. Therefore, someone threatened that the smooth one is not the real enamel & mdash; & mdash; save some money to buy a top-quality Patek Philippe to see it.
Why is a micro-painted enamel watch difficult to find?
The situation that top-quality micro-painting tables are hard to find will certainly continue. I think the conditions for change are almost non-existent.
A certain brand makes such watches, but the works are just a little unsatisfactory. I selected a famous painting with great interest and ordered it. I didn’t wear it for a second after I got it. The elementary school students were sloppy and had tarnished wrists. In Paris, Anita said angrily that small craftsmanship is only valued in a country like France where art is important, and in Switzerland, the government has no support at all and can only survive on its own. In order to survive, artists can only make unique products with simple methods. Fortunately, in our watch world, there are three or two people who are as real as Anita (I also admire Dominic of Van Cleef & Arpels).
If you can find a way to persuade a real artist like this, there is still a chance to collect good works. Recently, a friend won the approval of Anita and painted the treasure of the Uffizi Gallery on the surface of his hand, and Botticelli painted Spring.
I like Klimt’s other masterpiece ‘Dana’. Under the instructions of his uncle, Anita reluctantly agreed to take over the job two years ago, but I saw that other brands had actively given up on this painting. In fact, the pros and cons are definitely more obvious in comparison. I should try her again!

Anita Porchet, the enamel master you should know best

Enamel Master Anita Porchet
Anita’s full name is AnitaPorchet, and her signature on the picture is ‘A. Porchet’. Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Cartier, Piaget and Hermès are among her many top enamel watches. Her master is the famous Suzanne Rohr and her master is Carlo Poluzzi, both of whom are top figures in the Geneva enamel painting world. At the same time, Suzanne passed to her the century-old enamel glaze and painting tools she had, so her enamel paintings would have a unique jewel even if they were of the silk type. The enamel ‘ld’ master once told me that modern technology is advanced, and what kind of color can be blended out, I am too lazy to respond. The formula of Su Ma Li Qing on the blue and white porcelain of Ming Chenghua has not been imitated for more than 500 years. Who can imitate the thick and precious precious light? Five years ago, Patek Philippe exhibited a pocket watch ‘Judith’ created by Anita in Basel, which was drawn from Gustav Klimt’s painting of the same name, and everyone was amazing. This is a famous painting that people are not familiar with. But in addition to faxing, the painting has another extraordinary brilliance after being fired with enamel, especially the gold, which is difficult to show on the canvas. Patek Philippe’s president, Lao Shiduan, said that Anita is a new star in the enamel world and has an unlimited future. Modern enamel watches are popular, and many brands are flooding them. Especially in the production of filigree, the pattern is often too simple, as simple as a pencil sketch. In this climate, it is to be expected that Anita’s work will stand out. I bought the ‘butterfly’ butterfly enamel watch she painted for Patek Philippe, and she used a lot of micro-painting techniques. I am most happy that Patek Philippe allows her to sign on the surface, which has never appeared in the brand’s watches. On the table
Her autographs, recent works and the ‘maps’ she painted for the count. Unlike other people’s response, she did not casually fill the color with perfunctory things. Mountains and rivers have the richness of mountains and rivers, the land has the yellow sand of the land, and even the picture shows the performance of day and night. All of this depends on the foundation and inheritance.
Anita learned the skills and entered the watch circle, and the earliest collaboration in my memory should be the earl. Around 2003, the brand launched Anita’s micro-painted enamel ‘Rose’, which is made one year each, with a limited number of three. I bought ‘Landy Rose’ for the second year. Like the fine brushwork of a flower book, the bright and luxurious ocher red, the petals are delicious and dripping. The exquisite fineness that can not be achieved with silk enamel is expressed here without any effort. In the past few years, Anita has mainly painted silk. The time difference between the two is only three or five times. ?
