Brand Watch News Report: Patek Philippe was started in 1839, a famous Swiss watch brand, each watch the average retail price of 13,000 to 20,000 U.S. dollars. Patek Philippe is technically in the watch has been a leader, with a number of patents, their watches are in the original fine by hand, adhere to quality, beautiful, reliable, excellent tradition of Patek Philippe with its strong sense of quality, superb process, a steady stream of innovation to create a world-respected watch brands.
English name referred to PP, has been translated as: Sympatec Philips, Partat Fei Li, Pak De Feili and so on. To fully appreciate the Patek Philippe watch than the watch you have owned the merits of the other, you must put the clock back and return to the old.
Early in the sixteenth century, the watch manufacturing industry has been profound culture sprout in Geneva. Watch manufacturer in Geneva is not only the early craftsmen, but also with a kind of almost fanatical dedication to ensure that works to achieve a perfect appearance and performance.
The strive for perfection in watch manufacturing spirit from generation to generation, until 1838, even as hundreds of (Antoine de Patek) the entrepreneurial base. A few years later, Fei Li watchmakers (Adricn Philippe) to join his company, and soon the two men together to change the history of the watch industry. They record the new invention, made a number of patents, such as the crown on the chain and adjust devices, and its precision mechanical movement of a record number of records, has not been broken.
Patek Philippe production plant was built in 1839. Each watch the average retail price of 13,000 dollars to 20,000 dollars. They are the only truly independent Swiss watch one from beginning to end is their own production, to train a PATEK PHILIPPE watchmaker take 10 years. Watch enthusiasts is a sign of nobility with a Patek Philippe watch, the noble art of Realm and expensive materials to create a Patek Philippe enduring brand.
Patek Philippe, founder of Antoine Norbert de Patek was originally against Russian rule in Poland in 1831 the revolutionaries. Poland, he fled to France after the defeat of the revolution, settled in Geneva, Switzerland after the start in the watch industry, opened in 1839 hundreds of watch companies. In 1844, Anthony Butterfield and Francois Czapek met in an exhibition in Paris. Fei Li was simply a case has been designed to thin, and the chain and adjust the key of the watch do not have the traditional pocket watch. The bags under the watch at the exhibition even ignored, while Anthony has hundreds of deep drawn for their new design. After some conversation they immediately reached an intention to that KAN Fei Li joined the hundreds of companies. In 1851, hundreds of company officially changed its name to Patek Philippe company.
Patek Philippe's factory standard by the knights of the sword and the priest, the cross combination, also called " Cross." Its origins are: 1185, the Spanish city called aggression by the Moors, the brave knight Dige Bellas Pastor Keith Raymond and a death in the war led by the people and eventually the Moors off cross and Sword, together have become a symbol of the solemn and bravery. This is just a symbol representing the percentage of Anthony and Jane Li Fei spirit of cooperation. The factory standard from 1857 has started.
Patek Philippe was established after the company received a big honor: the 1851 World's Fair in London, the Queen of England selected and bought a Patek Philippe pocket watch. Only handle new spin bag hanging on a watch set with 13 diamonds, gold pin, enamel covered watch decorated with blue and gold diamond makes up roses. At that time, the Queen's husband Prince Albert also buy a Patek Philippe for a cat form. Share boutique celebrity, Patek Philippe, which established its aristocratic status. For the pursuit of high state, Patek Philippe spared no expense in material selection on. Patek Philippe earlier case, the use of the material for the silver and 18K gold. Century, most of the selection of 18K gold (including gold, platinum, rose gold, etc.), and even platinum. The steel of the case, only a small part later. Patek Philippe watch movement and both the number of high drilling, the early drilling of the watch more than 15, then the product is more than 29 drill. 60's produced some of the properties of complex gold watches, diamond drill up to 37 numbers, for the same watch, rare.
Technology in watches, Patek Philippe has been a leader, has several patents. From 1851 "Patek Philippe" was the first "rotary handle on the winding" patent, the major projects include the exact patent regulator, dual timer, large screw balance wheel, automatic winding rotor periphery, and the balance wheel on heart devices. Only from 1949 to 1979, 30 years, there were 40 patents, the patent as much as watch the best.
Patek Philippe exquisite manufacturing technology company, has created many top brands in the watch. In 1927, of the U.S. auto magnate Bo Jiade's order, made out of a company can play the most beloved of his mother's lullaby to play spring form, then the value of 8,300 Swiss francs. New York City collector shall request Greaves, Patek Philippe company from 1928 to 1933, with a 5-year time lag, star charts equivalent to a pocket watch. The exquisite, setting a milestone in the history of watches and clocks. In 1985, Patek Philippe's 940 model produced by multi-functional watches are automatic, calendar, moon phase, leap, jump on automatic features such as body thickness of only 3.75 mm, the thinnest watch for the same.
Patek Philippe was still present is the only manually refined, and can be completed within the original manufacturer of all the tabulation process and to adhere to the watch the traditional process. Swiss watch industry, said the traditional manufacturing techniques such as "7 kinds of traditional watchmaking in Geneva", which means a combination of designers, watchmakers, goldsmiths, watch chain maker, sculptor, ceramic artist and jeweler's traditional crafts. Patek Philippe convinced by such skilled craft masters are all produced out of the list of art treasures, which is the Patek Philippe watches the most even have to proud of. In order to break with tradition and create a better working environment, Patek Philippe, current president and managing director Philip Mr. Shi Dong in 1988, began planning and constructing a new factory, as is "to Patek Philippe Korea's unique combination of technology and technology under one roof. " After the opening of the new plant completed a complete "into the watch," the factory, next to an old castle has been renovated into a museum collection of the Geneva private treasures.
To achieve further development, Patek Philippe, an official in the October 1996 issue of "International Journal of Patek Philippe", in English, French, Japanese, Chinese, German, Italian language version 6 released by the magazine seeks to content to attract customers, enhance corporate image. All these prove that Patek Philippe in constantly innovating and change of business philosophy, so this century-old factory is still energetic, vibrant.
The corporate brand in the World Brand Lab prepared in 2006, "World Top 500 Brands" list ranked two hundred and fifty third.
More than a century, Patek Philippe has always believed in quality philosophy, to comply with quality and not quantity, the production of fine engineering principles of slow living. Only one subject, namely the pursuit of perfection. It pursues a limited production, but now the annual output of 25,000 to 30,000. Up to more than a half century, Patek Philippe, produced a very limited number of watches (only 600,000), lost to the annual production of a fashion statement, and only available in the world's top boutiques.
A watch from the design to the factory at least five years: 4 years of study design, 9 months (like birth a baby) production, 3 months, assembly and quality control. If the tailor-made, then the research and development required a longer time. Bird watch price $ 11,000,000, that is, Patek Philippe 1933, the United States a special bankers can display 24 different types of information: month, day, sunset and sunrise time, or even any one night in New York City The stars and moon map. Given the time clocks, watches, Patek Philippe studied not mean. After 3 years of the watch design, made of 5 years. Up to 8 years, only one watch. This is what a fine sense!
Patek Philippe has always maintained a watch a year in the traditional hand-made. To have this watch, only to wait 8 to 10 years, and expensive, 30 million yuan or so, but value for money. Process in the pursuit of perfection, beauty is everywhere, even in the sight of the case under the. Hand-polished connections, corners, a circular movement on the beautiful textures, these are subtle, but has also been carved finely ground.
Complex function is the top technology in the watch industry, and Patek Philippe respected is this "perfect complexity" and "perfect accuracy" of the combination. Patek Philippe noble lies not only in its elegant appearance, but also because it is the extreme precision internal mechanical complexity. "Beneath the surface in the most simple to configure the most complex form," Patek Philippe has been espoused criteria. Nineteenth century, Patek Philippe created the watch, although the wheel bearings on the end turned in more than 120 billion times, but still accurate too odd sigh.
Patek Philippe in order to try to produce other brands do not have the advantages of watch-driven, and innovation as a tradition from generation to generation. In 1989, Patek Philippe launched Calibre89 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of its establishment, and proudly announced, "This is the most complex functions of the history of a porwatch timepiece." Device which the date of Easter, retrograde date hand, calendar design were patented in the 1980s.
For their own products better than other brands, Patek Philippe has always used the finest materials. Gold, rose gold and platinum, 18K gold (purity 0.75), high purity platinum 0.95. Elegant appearance, fusion gemstone division, sculptors and other outstanding creation. The State of the noble art of the perfect combination of expensive materials, Patek Philippe created the enduring.
Currently, Patek Philippe is the only complete all the tabulation process at the factory and get "Geneva" logo watch manufacturer. "Geneva" logo from 1886, designed to ensure that the origin of watches and craftsmanship. Only carry hand-and automatic-winding mechanical movement watches to honor. The Patek Philippe is a watch factory in every meet this standard. Patek Philippe for the owner in terms of the watch, every watch is unique. Has been since 1839, every factory, Patek Philippe has its own name, each watch have been recorded. A strong sense of quality, superb technology, a steady stream of innovation to create a world-respected brand Patek Philippe.
Mark Patek Philippe
Spring of 2009, Patek Philippe Limai into the new era: Patek Philippe in the future will be fully produced by the mechanical movement Patek Philippe unique imprint. Workshops in Geneva since the inception in 1839, has always been committed to the pursuit of excellence and independence, and imprint of Patek Philippe is the latest fruit of this philosophy. The new quality mark clearly show the true Patek Philippe, the essence of tolerance and Zoran: to perfection level of technology, far beyond the external norms and official standards. After all, the real passion blazing internal quality must be reflected. )
More than a century, the Geneva Seal Patek Philippe in the development and improvement of the mechanical movement of the process, become stuck to the quality standards, a clear definition of the mechanical movement required to achieve the minimum level of quality. However, adhering to the tradition of innovative watchmaking, Patek Philippe has never stopped its continuous improvement of equipment performance during the pursuit of dollars.
Patek Philippe as a "complete" watchmaker, not only maintained the movement's unique combination of level of depth and can produce their own case and other major external components. Therefore, the quality of Patek Philippe is closely related specifications not only with the movement, but also the entire gold watch closely.
There is no doubt the whole gold watch must have a quality label. This requires a new mark, to determine with Patek Philippe timepiece device manufacturing, precision adjustment and lifetime maintenance of all abilities and characteristics are closely related.
Workshops by this introduction of the famous Geneva, Patek Philippe watches marks perhaps the most high-end features and the industry's most stringent requirements of quality mark. This standard is applicable to any of Patek Philippe, mechanical movement, no matter how complex.
Patek Philippe, and applies not only to mark the movement, which involves: case, dial, pointer, button, bracelet, etc. Health and ear, and even finished products involved in the aesthetic and functional standards watch.
| In addition, the imprint of Patek Philippe is also a reliable guarantee for the accuracy of travel time - after all, Patek Philippe watch is to calculate the first time an instrument.
Patek Philippe timepieces the travel time stability test, the movement has never been installed shell watch the finished product to the final stages of tabulation process, respectively. After installation shell watch the final travel time measurement accuracy of the simulator through the kinetic energy, the internal accuracy must meet the following criteria:
- For movement greater than 20 mm diameter watch, precision must be in travel time every 24 hours -3 / +2 sec
- For less than 20 mm in diameter Movement watch, the accuracy of travel time must be in every 24 hours -5 / +4 seconds.
Patek Philippe tourbillon watch must not only accept the same process as other mechanical watch during the test, and must comply with more stringent restrictions on the following:
During the final testing simulator using the measured kinetic energy of accuracy of travel time must be in every 24 hours -2 / +1 sec.
- Location of all six tests, the average travel time precision and accuracy of travel time for each position between the maximum deviation of not more than 4 seconds per 24 hours.
Each one of Patek Philippe Tourbillon accuracy of travel time were recorded in a while and watch the issue of the certificate issued by an independent.
More important is: In order to achieve the accuracy standards within the travel time, unlike the movement of the shell that is not fitted the traditional testing methods, Patek Philippe, when the final test to go watch all assembled on.
Patek Philippe is a full range of quality mark label
