Sixth, THE EASYLINK. You watch may extend if an increase in temperature, altitude or physical activity which will cause your wrist feels uncomfortable. This is the reason that Rolex research the patented Easylink, which allows you to increase the length of the bracelet by about 5 mm to receive maximum comfort. Moreover, the perfect Easylink system has been tested thousands of times in the most extreme conditions, without sacrificing reliability.

Seventh, THE OYSTER CASE. Very few people around the world are able to inside a Rolex Oyster. In fact, open the sealed case need a massive torque of five Newton meters. The back of any Oyster can protects the movement from shocks, pressure, dust, water and any other damages.

Eighth, SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER. There is a important institute should be indicated—COSC which is the acronym of Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres. This is an independent and not-for-profit association. Every watch must prove its super precision in a variety of extreme positions and temperatures.

The case of the Seamaster Planet Ocean (SPO) is the combination of polished and brushed surface; it can resist 600m/2000ft water. The helium release valve in the case helps you to prolong the time diving in water.

How about the bezel? You can easily grip the new coin edge underwater. Furthermore, if you make its way around the dial you can hear a nice “click ” sound. Besides that, the markings on the bezel fit the dial markers and hands perfectly. You will feel the artistic value when you see it.

The whole dial is very clear because of the oversized markers and the large hands.

SPO applied both sides with the Sapphire crystal which has an anti-reflective. However, some people said that this is not a sensible choice. From the technology point, some impact from rigid things will scratch the coating on the top of the crystal; from the aesthetic point, it will add some blue view of the crystal from some lighting angle.

The bracelet of the SPO is really heavy and thick. It does not taper as most other watches. The bracelet top and bottom have a brushed finish, and the sides are polished.

The SPO uses the two-button deployment clasp with integrated diver suit extension. The clasp can easily open and close, but feel very study.  The large

The most important part is the movement. There are 29 jewels in it, the most great advantage of it is that the friction has been reduced largely. What is more, the Caliber 2500 uses a free-sprung balance to improve the timing precision. 25, 200 VPH speed is also incredible.

Apparently, the Seamaster Planet Ocean is really a creative, classic art.

Today is a fine day. The weather is clear; temperature is comfortable; little wind… If I have to choose a word to describe today’s weather, I think “perfect” is the exact one. The same and only one that should be used to describe Rolex. Why? Let’s see it.

Firstly, THE MOVEMENT. It has the peculiar self-winding Oyster movement which is entirely researched and manufactured by Rolex. Every movement is an officially certified Swiss chronometer.

Secondly, THE PARACHROM HAIRSPRING. Rolex researched the blue Parachrom hairspring in five years. Crafted from a paramagnetic alloy, it is unaffected by magnetic fields and up to 10 times more resistant to shocks. In the past, the unique blue colour of the hairspring was a representative of prestige, which can only use in the most accurate timepieces. But today, it serves for Rolex.

Thirdly, THE CERAMIC BEZEL. Rolex choose the ceramic to make the bezel. Ceramic has the excellent performance in resisting corrosion, color remains from affecting by ultraviolet rays and protection from scratching.

Fourth, 904L STEEL. 904L steel has been used to make the steel watch cases. Because it can resist against corrosion, 904L steel is usually served for the chemistry industry. Besides this, 904L is also a highly polishable and extremely resistant alloy.

Fifth, A CLASSIC ART. Every Rolex is the product of know-how and artistry from watchmakers, designers, gem-setters and chemists.

Rolex is not only a precise watch; it is always used as a representative of one’s social status and wealthy. However, if anyone buys a fake one, it is beyond waste of money, he will lose his face in front of his friends. So let’s talk about how to prevent to buy a fake Rolex?

1, A ‘genuine’ Rolex is perfect in every aspect as in detailing, quality and craftsmanship. ioioi advice you to visit your local Rolex Dealer and inspect  different types of Rolex watches. Question your sales representative on various features of a genuine Rolex watch. You will see more about its uniqueness, functionality etc.

2, Check the Rolex Report which is an Unauthorized Reference Book for the Rolex Enthusiast, 4th Edition by John E. Brozek. More than 300 pages of relevant material which saves research time when one is considering to purchase a genuine Rolex, especially if it is a pre-owned watch.

3,In essence, look between its bottom lugs (part where the band connects to case), top lugs and opening the case back. This is the best way to distinguish between a ‘genuine’ and fake Rolex.

a) Clear Case backs – Notice that Rolex does not make watches with clear case backs. So if you find a watch which has a clear case back it is definitely not a ‘genuine’ Rolex watch.

b) Engraved Case backs - No logos or slogans are engraved on a Rolex case back. You won’t even find any engravings on it. The only exception to this case is the Ladies model (circa 1990’s) and the ‘Sea-Dweller’ model.

c) Hologram Stickers – A simple way to distinguish between a fake and a ‘genuine’ is to check the case back. A ‘genuine’ Rolex watch comes with a 3-D hologram-encoded sticker on the case back. Moreover you can clearly identify the Rolex ‘crown’ trademark which is place right above the case reference number. In most cases, the 3-D effect is not even identifiable in a fake hologram sticker.

d) Date Magnification – Common errors made by replicas include the cyclops being much smaller and not aligned properly, a large font date is another feature to fool a customer. With the case of genuine watches, all of the genuine ones feature the cyclops that magnifies the date by 2.5x, the only exception being the ‘Sea-Dweller’.

e) Triplock Crown Seal – The three Rolex models, namely the Sea-Dweller, Submariner and Daytona feature the ‘Triplock crown’. While a replica does not have a seal, a genuine Rolex uses the extra seal by the rubber o-ring on the winding tube. This is worth a mention as many original Rolex parts and accessories can also be replaced by fake ones, and so in the cases of pre-owned Rolexes this should be kept in mind.

f) Micro-etched Crystal – The Rolex ‘coronet’ or ‘crown’ just under the 6 o’clock marker was micro-etched on all Rolexes from the year 2002. If you use a jeweler’s loupe, you will notice that in comparison to a replica, the ‘genuine’ crown is much more evident and robust. In addition, fake ones have a poor overall design.

g) Size and Weight – although it is not the most scientific method for determining a fake, it should be noted that genuine Rolex watches are very sturdy and therefore relatively heavy. Fake watches are made from cheaper materials and typically feel very light. Also, the bands on genuine Rolex watches are full whereas fakes often display hollow links.

h) Hand Movement – The second hand on a genuine Rolex watch features a smooth and continuous movement that often cannot be duplicated by fake watches. Their movements are often in small, jerky increments.

i) Sapphire Composition –Many faux-Rolexes will use regular glass instead of true sapphire crystal. A good test of the materials is to check the water surface tension. A smeared film of water will pull together on sapphire due to the extremely smooth surface.

j) Lettering – Be sure to check the dial of your potential purchase to see if the lettering is precise. Under high-magnification, the type should reveal clean edges not found in many forgeries.

k) Case Reference Numbers – The serial and case reference numbers can be found in between the lugs on the side of the case. Genuine Rolex numbers are engraved with great detail and are very smooth. The numbers on fake watches often look “sand-blasted” or are roughly etched into the case.

4, Most important is—- All genuine Rolex are produced in Switzerland. ioioi suggest you to go to Switzerland and buy your favorable Rolex? You have more choices there. What is more, you could buy the genuine one. You have even made an important decision to purchase such an expensive watch, why not spend a little money to buy the “insurance”. Enjoy yourself in Switzerland!

F.P.Journe, the famous watchmaker, released its newest Chronometre Bleu watch on October 2. We are happy to see the new watch that demonstrates unparalleled chronometric features.

With a 39mmcase of the novel timekeeper which is rendered in tantalum featuring blue hues, we are confident in its character.

Eveyday I always introduce the watch’s news for you, today I want to change my habbit. A new clock will be introduced for my friends, maybe it would make you exciting.

Celebrating their birthdays or anniversaries is in the best traditions of many horological companies. Such an event, however, is not always marked with the release of a product that bears an eloquent inscription birthday.

This is a spectacular element of the design work, performed at Jaeger-LeCoultre in the Atmos branch. Since 1920s, the Atmos creations have been regarded as the most appealing desk clocks in the world.

The complicated mechanism employs insignificant changes in the environmental temperatures for animating the clock. It is considered to be almost perpetual, since it requires neither winding, nor batteries.

The limited series Birthday Atmos clock from Jaeger-LeCoultre, reviewed by Watches.InfoNIAC.com, is powered by the entirely hand-made Caliber 564 movement. This clock has been manufactured from many different materials: a large amount of rhodium plated steel, mother of pearl, the dial is coated with, and diamonds, mounted on 8 out of 16 models.

The clock dial is marked with fancifully repeated inscription Atmos Birthday. Due to their unique nature, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Atmos clocks have become the most preferable presents, high society individuals choose to give to each other.

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.

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.
