Breguet was born in Switzerland in 1747, while he spent most of his life in Paris. He created countless great inventions and was active in every aspect of watch-making industry. His neo-classical simplicity of the design surprised the world permanently. And his descendants used their own masterpieces showed their gifts and achievements in watch-making, just as their forefather.In the history of Breguet, it was always closely connected with Big Shots during different periods, and this could somewhat show the strength of Breguet in watch-making.

Breguet is always the love of the Royal nobilities. King Louis XVI, the French Queen Marie, Anthony Tsar Alexander I, the British Queen Victoria, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and even the Prussia William I, they were from different times, different countries, different cultures, and even different religions, but they shared the same preference–Breguet. What`s more, elites of different areas also adore Breguet a lot!

Genius Albert Einstein was Breguet`s loyal customer. World famous musician Tchaikovsky was also Breguet`s loyal user. And even nowadays, the U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles always let Breguet tell him time. And now, many call Breguet the “king of watch”, and regard Breguet as the “father of modern watch-making”, it is really an appropriate measure.

On the 20 Swiss francs banknote, the portrait of an 18 century watchmaker was printed, whose name is Abraham-Louis Perrelet. Switzerland the Watch Kingdom, paid tribute to Perrele by this way in order to show people`s respects for him, and especially for his watches.

btla4_conew3.jpg

Why Perrelet was so admired by the Swiss? Let`s just take a look at the history of this ancient man and his watches.

During the mid-18th century, the Swiss watchmaking industry was totally not what it is now. There even existed no proper tools for some of the important parts of a watch. For realizing his ideal watches, Perrelet focused his efforts on the tools. And he was the first that made the spool, calendar, the average time and the crab claw wheel, and completed a watch all by himself.

Perrelet, as one of the world top luxury watch brands, and regarded as the inventor of the automatic watch by almost all the watch-makers, appeared again under the spotlights and immediately gain the love of the public in 1995. Its automatic pendulum swings as a fan and gains great gravity. Then it can conveniently provide perpetual power for a watch. Just then, this Movement achieved the honor of “Year best Movement” at that time.

The name Rolex has been for so long synonymous with sophistication and excellence. A Rolex watch is indeed a valuable piece for more than one reason. Don’t misunderstand the people who strive to get one even if their bank account suggests they should wait a little. Rolex watches deserve any kind of sacrifice one might be willing to make in order to get them. They are expensive but you get what you pay for.

Rolex watches have always been the most reliable watches in the world. Their precision is outstanding and time seems to have a different dimension if measured by this type of watch. You surely feel safe and always on time with such a reliable ‘partner’ round your wrist.

The esthetics is also an important characteristic. There are several types and all of them are incredibly beautiful pieces of jewelry. How could you not feel special wearing such a perfect creation of good taste? No matter the outfit you have in mind, there is also a Rolex watch to mach it.

When people buy expensive things, they expect them to last for ever. And some do – the Rolex watch is one of them. Due to the material used and the perfectly conceived mechanism it contains, a Rolex watch is the best investment. If love for Rolex watches weren’t passed on from generation to generation, your grandfather’s watch would be the same impeccable piece of measuring time when it gets into your son’s possession. The watches don’t die. They don’t grow old either. Perfection is meant to always stay in fashion and so is a Rolex watch.

However there are people who wish they owned a Rolex watch but unfortunately will probably never be able to buy one. Life is not as unfair as it might seem sometimes. For them, a rolex replica watch is the solution. It looks the same from a distance and even a watch specialist might find it hard to distinguish between a real Rolex and a replica watch.

Besides, the price is so much smaller that any Rolex lover of the unfortunate category of people can afford to purchase one.

To answer this question we must first understand the type of brand Omega is. Omega is considered as one of the best watchmakers around and has a range of watches that denote quality. Prices therefore start from little under a grand and range upwards and in excess of three thousand pounds.

Despite the high prices however, Omega is one of the highest selling watch brands. This is for two main reasons;

The first reason is Quality.

Omega watches are known for their brilliant quality. The company know this and do their best to play on this but they are not the only ones that need to do this. Distributors and those that sell watches in shops all know that Omega watches are of very high quality too and this is certainly one of the unique selling points when consumers decide they want to buy. But that is not all. Anyone that knows anything about watches for example consumers looking to buy watches also know of the high quality of Omega watches and are therefore already in a position where they need only to choose the right style that suits them.

This brings us on to the second reason – Style.

Together with the high quality, Omega watches also boast many fine styles too. Some of these styles, including the Planet Ocean range and the Seamaster range are considered to be two of the nicest and most sought after styles of watches around. Again, both the seller knows this and can play on this to their advantage, and the consumer knows this too. In fact, such are the popularity of these styles that when a new model hits the shops, the individual watches can be hard to pick up as they are so much in demand.

With these two considerations in mind, consumers can go to their desired locations to buy Omega watches at ease knowing that they will be getting value for money. Although some may disagree, price for Omega watch lovers is not the biggest factor. If these consumers decide they want a particular watch, then they will buy that particular watch.

So in conclusion, although Omega watches can be expensive, it is not the price consumers are looking at. It is actually the watch itself and the individual watch models particular style and level of quality that consumers are interested in. Let us hope they find what they are looking for!

We are so interesting in wristwatch, but I think many wristwatch fans aren’t clear about the invention of wristwatch. Let us review this special story. At a party in Paris in the early 1900s, Alberto Santos-Domont explained to his friedn Louis Cartier how one cannot tell the time on a pocket watch when his two hands are busy. Cartier was very seriously about this request in 1904. With Edmond Jaeger’s help, he created the first wristwatch prototype that would enable his friedn to tell the time without taking his hands off the flying control.

Today, the spirit of the first unique Santos de Cartier is echoed in the unique Only Watch white gold Santos triple 100. The case of this watch is based on the famous Santos case invented in 1904, which, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Santos, was reworked in 2004 – hence the name Santos 100.

 The Santos 100 has three different faces: the first being white with Cartier black Roman numerals; the second, totally engraved with an exotic dragon and a third position, halfway between the two faces, offers a totally transparent view of the unique highend manufacture square skeleton movement, which has been 100% developed at the Cartier manufactory in La Chaux-de-Fonds.

When you turn the crown, the dial itself is made up of different facets and the facets turn.

Finding a way to incorporate the Roman numerals with essential elements of the movement is the main difficulty in developing this concept of a special skeleton movement. With a skeleton movement, watchmakers normally take a standard movement and work on it to achieve a version that is as minimal as possible. The square Santos 100 skeleton has been specifically designed as a skeleton movement. This created another problem at the development stage of this watch. Since this skeleton movement was intended to be very pure with a lot of “air” around it, the Cartier team had to redesign the bridges in order to ensure that they could support the movement.

Being the frist wristwatch to be remembered, the Santos 100 is worth to be owned, moreover when you buy it, you are alse buy a unique Cartier with three different faces of the watch.

In the today’s watch manufacturing, new material was used becomes a new trend. Among those new material, Liquidmetal alloy is very important now. The Liquidmetal alloy represents a metallic material, featuring a disordered, non-crystalline atomic structure. Its fusion temperature is two times lower than that of the traditional titanium alloy. But it becomes three harder than stainless steel when it is cooled. This material’s amorphous structure enables its seamless bonding with the ceramic bezel. Liquidmetal alloy includes five components: zirconium, titanium, copper, nickel and beryllium. Due to its low critical cooling rate, a bulk metallic glass can be turned into a structure, measuring a thickness of more than a tenth of a millimeter. Zirconium is an important component of both the Liquidmetal alloy and the ceramic material, created from zirconium dioxide. The hardness of these two elements ensures great scratch and corrosion resistance of the smooth bezel.

seamaster-planet-ocean-liquidmetal-omega-watch.jpg

Today I would like to introduce the first watch in the world that demonstrates an alliance of ceramics and Liquidmetal. Its manufacturer is the famous watchmaker-Omega, Its name is Seamaster Planet Ocean Liquidmetal Limited Edition.

In fact, Swatch group researchers have produced a spectacular ceramic diving bezel which features numbers and scaling manufactured from Liquidmetal alloy by cooperating with Omega’s produce development team. They create a silvery contrast against the black ceramic background. The color of the ceramic dial is in perfect harmony with that of the bezel.

The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Liquidmetal Limited Edition watch exposes a case, 42 mm in diameter, sculptured in stainless steel. Benefited from the same material, the watch is secured to the wrist on a bracelet. It is fitted with the Omega dual-pushbutton folding clasp provided with a concealed dive extension for wearing the timepiece atop a wetsuit.

With applied Superluminova hour indexes and hour hands with arrow tips, the dial of the Omega watch boasts supreme legibility under reduced or no light conditions. The dial is protected by a thick gently convex sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides. The innovative Omega Co-Axial calibre 2500 inside the watch could offer 42 hours of power reserve. The watch impresses by its 600-meter water-resistance. In order to tribute to the year Omega issued its now-legendary Seamaster watch collection, this one-of-a-kind innovative Omega watch is released in a limited series of 1948 pieces.
