Nearly 200 years ago, Marie Antoinette, the queen of French, had a truly passionate desire for Breguet watches. In 1783, one of her admirers intended to designed a special watch as a gift to the queen. To be attractive for us now, the desingner wanted to use gold to replace metals as possible.

Though this special gift is so precious, even a rarity, the queen never had the opportunity to see the timepiece. It was fininshed at 1827 while the queen had been dead for 34 years. The whole time of the watch’s making is more than 44 years. This also made a legend for everyone to talk in the history of the watch. The same reason, this special watch became many watch’s collectors’ dream to be the owner for more than 200 years. But it was stolen from a Jerusalem museum and lost for several years.

In order to memorize the whole story and to show respect for the queen, the president and CEO of Montres Breguet, Nicolas G. Hayek decided to give himself a big chanllenge to reproduce the Marie Antoinette pocket watch identically in 2005. Reproducing and designing such a large number of complications on the sole basis of documents is against the odds and reveals the talent of the watchmakers at Montres Breguet.

For example, in the coachwork of the watch, the yellow gold of the 63mm-diameter case was cast in a special, more coppery alloy in order to match the period hue. The glasses for the dial and the case, made of rock crystal, allow the movement to display its finery and the marvels of its finish. After used nearly 823 outstandingly components, the reproduced pocke watch came to us, and its smallest detail demonstrate perfect execution and have been finished by hand. From the picture below, I’m sure most people will be amazed by its complexity. Even the box of the watch was made of more than 3,500 pieces sculpted from the wood of the royal oak tree from the Versailles Estate.

The most incredible coincidence I’ve ever heard of is the orginal pocket watch appeared recently with the reproduced watch announced.

As a famous watch maker, Cimier introduced the Petite Seconde Venom in September 2009. The new watch has 43mm stainless steel case with a black PVD finish. It has a polished finish on the bezel and case, a brushed finish on the top of the lugs. An ETA Unitas 6497 manual-wind mechanical movement inside improves the quality. Cimier blakened the movement of the watch and featured it with blued screws, all visible through a “Jorg Stiel” signed sapphire caseback. Jorg Stiel had been a football sporter in the Swiss national soccer team. Cimier may be want to show the respect for this great sporter with this action.

The hours, minutes and small seconds hands is black with yellow . A small seconds dial is placed at 10 o’clock, marked in 5 second increments. A polished PVD crown that is used to set the time and wind the movement is placed at 4 o’clock. Power-reserve is 56 hours. The strap is made of yellow python, which is in tune with the style of the watch. Water-resistance is 50 meters.

With regret to tell everyone, this pretty watch is limited only 200 pieces in the world. Maybe because of the same reason, the watch’s retail price is very high, $2,299. I think it should belong to the high-income class, or belong to the watch collectors. To be frankly, the Petite Seconde Venom is too beautiful and worth to be collect.

Rolex made the first rainproof watch of the world in 1926, after that, it spared no effort to set to develop a new product-Diving Timepieces. Once in 1960, Rolex made a diving watch just for experiment and hung it on the American navy submarine-TRIESTE which submerged into water with the watch in a 10,908 meters depth. Since then, Rolex had established itself as the leading role in the Diving Timepieces world.

1971, Rolex lauched the series of Sea-Dweller which had a helium vent valve and can dive into a 610 metres depth. Early in the next year, M. Patrice Chemin and M. Robert Gauret dive into the water which had 600 meters deep wearing this kind in a heliox environment in the Marseille territorial waters of France. They persisted on working for 18 days under that condition and set up a new world record for the time.

Ever since 1980, Sea-Dweller expanded the deepest waterproof point to 1220 meters, remaining until now. The above watch equips a sapphirine crystal lens and a self-winding cassette mechanism which comply with the ruquirements of the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute(COSC). Besides, it has a calendar display window and an exhaust valves which is placed in the left side. Let’s have an illustration about its’ operating principle. When the air pressure inside the watchcase is higher than the outside, the valve will open automatically and exhaust gas while can also keep the waterproofness. Due to this attribute, the divers will no longer use a toothpick to prick in order to open it. What’s more, they can feel more comfortable with the equipment which can exhaust helium automatically. All these advanced technologies result in a great boost of seafaring.

By any measure, the structure and function are perfect. You can’t ask for more

My husband love watches. He always talks watches with me. I think owning a watch is just to have something that is beautiful. But he thinks owning a watch is not just to have something that is beautiful, but also something that incorporates the best use of materials, craftmanship and engineering.

“I dream of being able to afford to buy a Patek Philippe one day. There are many manufacturers around the world, old and new, Swiss-made and others, who make distinctive, high precision and beautiful watches. Prices of quality watches vary to match a buyer’s budget. For example, Oris watches are renowned for their automatic timepieces with a unique calendar hand on the watch face. You can pick up a fine Swiss-made Oris watch for under $1000. Panerai are a less well-known Italian watchmaker. But their timepieces are of exceptional quality and precision, in contemporary designs. You can expect to pay upwards of $3000 for a Panerai watch. Both Longines and Tissot Swiss watches are well-known brands. They are an affordable introduction to Swiss watches as prices from around $300. Rado watches are renowned for using innovative, scratch-proof ceramics in the making of their timepieces. They are simple but beautiful wrist watches.” My husband said. “However they aren’t cheap, my dear.” I said.

I want to recommend you to swatch watches from Swiss, which is one of famous brands. You can buy a high quality and beautiful swatch wrist watch at a reasonable and cheap price. I think swatch watches are well-received among more consumers.
