2011 Top Class Jewelry Watches Recommended

Fashion Watch News Report: Then a few days, Chinese New Year is coming. In 2011, many people have said changing a living law, to lead a life of their own as the center, to be more self, to be lit every day life. Therefore, we prepare for your occasion jewelry watch, jewelry watch at this stage, there are diamond watch, diamond and precious stones combine design, and various precious stones mashup masterpiece, I used to think they are so unassuming, does not wear rate would be a bit low? But now that everyone should have a thorough self-centered story, in this story, let yourself shine.


Recommended three diamonds watches

Diamond watch solemnly never on a variety of occasions to show your most unassuming, wearing well, gorgeous noble; wear when they are not shining very confident. So, can wear the diamond watch, wearing a place that is not important, it is important gesture, it shines to promote your attitude to life - to be wonderful, it is probably also a lot of people choose to pay for drilling watch reasons. If you do not want to wear gold teeth Debu vulgar recommend that you pick a style scale drill marks, if there is enough gas field has character, or a case full of diamond drilling designed watch is High it is enough, you have to own by the temper yourself a bit twice, right?

Men diamond watch decoration, a small percentage more likely to draw the line: There are details, shiny, but not too Mother. This is a good example of Watch 4! These two nations and Montblanc are large dial, rose gold, diamond bezel chronograph, the most unusual is that although both sports watch two watches, but they flashed a gentle temperament of a gentleman, diamonds and rose gold the use of contributed; Luo Jiedu He only unisex watch, titanium case, drilling, and the color of satin with leather strap is very harmonious, very significant temperament. Center of the dial and the case of two square to the diamond outline, different; and said TAG Heuer, is that the four largest diamonds in the watch style, and in two different diameters combination of diamonds, black dial, combination of black ceramic and stainless steel bracelet, be regarded as the absolute hardness with softness in the watch works.

Tips with diamonds on the watch

1. As according to color, clarity, cut and carat of the "4C" standard, but colored diamonds may not apply to this standard.

2. Usually a diamond on the watch are the drill, decorated in the scale on the upper bezel, there are some more good brand of diamond setting technique will use a larger bit of diamond particles embedded in the dial or case, the most spectacular .

3. Square cut should be more valuable than the round cut.


Hublot Gem Series Chronograph

Indeed, simply decorated with precious stones do not watch much, may be compared to jewelry, precious stones for decoration really watch much less, so it is particularly valuable. The addition of various precious stones, so watch addition to the "Diamond Watch" is more than the addition of a small minority of choice if you already have your dream diamond watch, and they want to own a wealth of different collection, then the stones must-read watch.

Recommended watch two different styles: the former Hublot, to maintain their cool, tough "combat style": rose gold case, built-in red rubber belts, decorative rivets publicity entirely too noble in and out of rubies and "Born in the One" temperament, be able to win a lot of "practical school" of love; which Jacques de clover watch, subtle and romantic, with white mother of pearl or onyx dial built on top of fresh green, soft pink, blue and platinum pointer elegant and glamor of each other, displaying the time of extreme beauty.


Jacques de THE CLOVERLEAF watch

There can not think of opal you want, you know it is? Maserati Dior watch, manual winding movement equipped with Elite, diamonds are not regarded as its central idea, you see the color on the surface of opal is the art of picture on the dial. Someone lost it? Be a minority!


Three diamond + jewel watches

Drilling with stones? Will not be asking too much too much shine it? It is certain, so that money is of no use only, to have the kind of gas field, that is good regardless of the watch more and more people can not face, but ultimately you still Yade Zhu, and its light is dependent that in light of your aura Caixing. Diamond + precious stones, rare and precious, even if this style is still very volatile: luxury noble nature is self-evident, there is a romantic combination of jewelry so that the whole watch just exudes quiet elegance and intellectual power, and you absolutely can not think of the diamond, ruby and crocodile leather strap and she was bound to create a watch of "Gothic Style" whether they are not your dream case, let the eyes is something serious fun!

This six watchs can be called high jewelry watch, features a brand hard enough, fine enough skills, enough to shock the momentum intake.


The first group is based on daily function-oriented + jewelry

Rolex GMT-Master II watch, from the red since 1955, it features diamond + sapphire, both honorable and refreshing; Bucherer watch limited edition jewelry, name is Gothic, very cool, the entire curve is like a brother Special construction, white gold case and inlaid on the surface of 211 rubies and 169 diamonds, leather strap with black + red flashing crocodile skin, the overall pace is very uniform; Chanel jewelry collection edition watch, limited edition 10, 18K Platinum body with high-tech ceramic watch. Dial mounted 84 long ladder-type total weight of two karats of diamonds, 12 rubies on the time scale of its decoration. Personally feel that is both unassuming and very low-key works have an aesthetic contradiction.


Three complex functions of the watch + jewelry

Blancpain This watch is said to sell in the Arab super, blue, pink, emerald with radiation to the whole dial diamond bezel, very bright, tourbillon at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock position of the big date both practical and superb; Dior Tourbillon watch this ruby, not only has an attractive decorative tourbillon, and carefully selected square ruby is mined in about 30 years ago, are derived from the ruby mines closed in Thailand, is the son of miners private collections, each one is very clean, very attractive; there most recent Cartier, January 18 will debut the watch at the SIHH show in Switzerland, this floating Tourbillon rather a sense of fairy tale, a diamond in the center of the dial and carefully guarded crocodile time. White alligator body accompanied by bright green eyes, this alligator crawling around in the accompanied by an elegant water lilies in full bloom; lily of the material is translucent red and white enamel. People internally and externally is absolutely mind a tight art.

German Watch - Wonderful work in Rigorous Mechanical Watch Industry

Fashion Watch News Report: Germany, whether industrial or small craft products, quality is very compelling. Many people have wondered in thought, they have a secret weapon? The German watch, this is serious cast of the wonderful world of mechanical watches prove to the world, as long as a little harsh on themselves, can transcend all, a real heroes.


German watch is rigorous wonderful cast of the mechanical watch industry

I recently visited Germany again in-depth look into the watch factory that surprised by all the stunts. The answer is simple and remember the dragon kung fu panda Tips for it? Awa open admirer of the long-Tips can see is their own, at that time it has not had any so-called secrets. Therefore, a little harsh on their own, can transcend all, a real heroes.

Just getting started with the German mechanical watch when they found them with other European countries, particularly major powers Swiss watches watch a lot of different works. Whether or pocket watch, full of every corner of the German style of the strong to make them look different: half of the movement across the large 3 / 4 of the German silver plates, exposed the big drum (watch over the period general), full of soul and passion of the plywood carved, and that whole movement of the sleeve reveals the distinguished gold gem. In short, the German mechanical industry watch is wonderful, a rare achievement is not replicable.


Best reflect the style of German watchmaking is full of mystery and elegance of the carving process of the
5 years ago with one another in Dresden, and now I once again set foot on this land. The outskirts of the town of Glashütte in Dresden is the birthplace of a very traditional German watchmaking, several centuries have not much has changed, even the factory address.


Lange watch movement watch as the building appreciate a perfect

Of course, the modern watch industry in the introduction of CNC machine tools to CNC watch factory output has been significantly improved. Watchmaker that enough time alone with the sunlight, to produce parts from start to finish with both hands alone days are gone. Lange watch factory in the bottom, we see the use of large-scale plywood milling machine and substrate steps, also observed the use of tungsten wire placed in a plywood substrate etching process, said master watch plant, although they rely on machines to complete , but the factory was set up a final quality control manual. For each of the parts off the assembly line and quality inspection departments to standardize data to various parts of the specification, which will be counted as one beyond the standard retirement. QC in charge of introduction: "Our standard is fully consistent with results of numerical precision, rather than the scope of content in a range of error tolerance parts. The only way to ensure that each component in line with the stringent requirements of Lange, then to into the manual stage, that is the best embodies the charm of the realm of Lange. "


Modified according to the highest standards Lange Tourbillon framework

Best reflect the style of German watchmaking is full of mystery and noble carving, and because each piece is so unique, irreplaceable.

In the manual processing of the part, I was invited to join the "watchmaker training courses" to explore the story behind its beautiful: even the smallest part of a grinding division also kept in the equipment to do the "8" shaped loop, until the smooth metal surface like a mirror. Of course, these steps Tourbillon the complex structure of the framework that is dwarfed compared to the light frame of a tourbillon is necessary to polish the legend 2 days. Who taught me skills polished technician has been 7 years polishing factory division, the patience of the Germans is that I admire. Learned from their mouths: "If the watch in order to complete a masterpiece such as Lange, technologies and tools is not enough alone, the most important thing is to uphold and patience." This spirit runs through the Lange watch factory has, in any corner meticulous. Especially plywood sculpture workshop, carved Chinese plywood is the best parts of traditional direct manifestation of Germany, where the five masters, like photos or postcards to be printed as a brochure of the brand. Carving is a very subjective process, each sculptor can not produce the same two works, let alone to operate different people! Sculpture department of the five master is a watch factory thousands of miles to pick candidates, although the birth of the works of their hands can not be identical, but each piece is definitely the essence of technology to show Lange.

As Lange uphold and abide by the same values, each one can be handed down Lange watch is a masterpiece, no doubt, as the fans have any form, such as beads as something precious, usually be firmly locked in the safe, Wear gloves will carefully take it out, especially for the super-sophisticated style. So, can you imagine a subtlety in the timing and returned two complex set of features a calendar, it is 18 years ago to return to the watch Lange altar watch since the production of one of the most complicated watch is a masterpiece. Some people are either dig or hoe in the garden at home, laying wood floors in the living room, this watch will not come off it? Crazy! However, their job is to find out how much this watch can withstand the wear and tear, it is how strong and swatch parts, and you do not need to do some of the time, it can still maintain accuracy. The company structure, the laboratory attached to the product development department, which is serving the industry's best watchmakers. They like to "trouble", good at logical thinking and physical understanding, each Lange watch factory are well aware of a watch.

They try everything to make every watch a Lange suffered "destruction", who pass the test successfully in order to achieve practical examination product Lange. For example, let DATOGRAPH perpetual calendar watch from a meter at the fall. Although this distance is not high, but watch the body, the parts must withstand the weight of higher than 5,000 times its own sudden momentum. In other words, weighing only 1 gram of a part into a twinkling of an eye, "weight" 5 kg, and this weight must shore. In accuracy, the laboratory balance wheel vibration using laser measuring the frequency and amplitude. With this method, during the construction phase can be adjusted to the balance wheel and hairspring perfect, the accuracy of the modern sophisticated watch unrivaled. In addition there are many, including temperature test, impact test and so on.

"We spent three months or six months to get a A.Lange & Sohne watch, and then we will dismantle it completely and re-assembly" In order to look carefully, testing each component and the coordinating role of the various components, Lange Every one watch factory works are undergoing this procedure.

No matter how much you've seen or books on Lange's introduction, not as the actual possession of a Lange watch surprises even more strongly. Lange, one can not be engraved pure art!

Carving day after day, the unique skeleton art finally was born.

Since the advent of the date of watches, talented designers who started the movement in the gears, the interaction between the rod and spring fascinated. They will watch the movement in a variety of plywood to be skeleton, to show deep in the interior works great as the graceful ballet-like dance.

As an elegant evening dress cut from not only the right, watch the skeleton in the handle, the artisans must also add its beautiful carved Microhyla his best to maximize the emergence of its gorgeous, and by any persons, regardless of the appreciation of the angle, can enjoy the light launched into the movement.


The artistic achievements of  skeleton watch completely  from the watch itself

And enamel gives this watch with other art forms are different forms of beauty is completely skeleton artistic achievements of the watch from the watch itself. The English original name "Skeleton" is trying to describe the watch with a skinny skeleton beauty. The most pure form skeleton structure is not simply exposed to the dial on top of the movement, but who need to polish their craft with as much as possible the movement of the metal plates removed, and through delicate outline, layout and lines and gorgeous and complicated modifications to show their unique artistic skills.


Queen Marie Antoinette: Madame Deficit

French history of "Madame Deficit," said the Queen Marie Antoinette story and the skeleton form, probably in the history of the world watches the most interesting legend. 1783, by the master of the queen thinks highly of the famous Louis Breguet watches received a security official from the Queen, the mysterious order. Order requirements Breguet made for a queen all the complex features a collection of pocket watches at that time, and maximize the use of gold to create works of every detail. Thus, a combination minute repeater, perpetual calendar, time difference, power reserve display, metal thermometer, an independent central seconds hand, small seconds display and a range of areas was a major invention of the skeleton watch pocket watch was born.

Only number 160 in the pocket, all the bearings are completely sapphire crystal production, impose pure gold case and dial with white enamel dial and a natural crystal. Although Mary Wang Houhuai watch after the completion of a pocket watch at the time of the most complex, but the Queen has not had the pleasure to enjoy this work personally. Long only watch the production process so that only declared completed until 1827, when both Mr. Breguet Queen or have passed away.


In the early pocket watch era, skeleton watch is the rare art.

Watch popular early era, skeleton sheet as it is the rare art. 1760, for the first time, the wearer can be opened without the premise of the watch, just curled from the complex to see a strong movement skeleton empire. To accomplish this feat with the times is the meaning of watchmakers Andre-Charlés Caron. He alone world's first designed and completed a skeleton form, will watch the movement within the complex structure and subtle parts to the perfect talent for art Banzhebanyan to show in the world. In the modern skeleton watch, equipped with complex functions, or in which the work was carried out jewelry inlaid skeleton sheet value of the highlight another important factor. But no matter how the trend of the evolution of fine lines and layout of the degree of pleasure, is a skeleton form is called the art of high standard.


Only internally and externally and complement each other then create skeleton fine art watch.

 Four reasons why skeleton watches are so expensive

The perfect combination skills

Design and manufacture of a skeleton watch top, the difficulty lies not only skilled technicians need to watch the movement of the contour to be the most delicate and sophisticated modifications, the movement often need to watch their aesthetic orientation, and the even the transformation of the new design. Only internally and externally to complement each other in order to create a skeleton called the art of the watch. This requires both the designer and manufacturer requires not only well aware of the movement structure and the morphology can be derived based on deep-rooted sense of space. In addition, the designer and manufacturer of skeleton watch with unparalleled understanding needed to understand the skills and imagination for the perfect gesture to be represented.

Carved craft the verge of extinction

As an elegant evening dress cut from not only the right, watch the skeleton in the handle, the artisans must also add its beautiful carved Microhyla his best to maximize the emergence of its gorgeous, and by any persons, regardless of the appreciation of the angle, can enjoy the light launched into the movement in the natural slope along the polished dance students. Carved skeleton watch top most process control machines using traditional hand-carved manner, but even in the most exquisite watches Swiss manufacturing process, excellent manual engraving machine was only a small number of skills mastered by the master clock, or even be able to watch Senior delicate carved ornamentation given machine is also one of their number. Process technology limitations, so that the skeleton form to become hard to find areas of high watchmaking treasures handed down.

Unique characteristics of art

As skeleton skeleton and carved in the watch all through the manual process must be completed, there will be between each skeleton watch quite subtle differences, even if designed and manufactured by the same manufacturer of the skeleton form of the same style, and its details are different. This unique feature, the skeleton watch gives the more artistic potential and value.

Negligible production

Watch popular back in the era of skeleton watch as it is the rare art. The long production process and for the most demanding of craft production led to skeleton the little watch. Renowned Swiss watch masters Kurt Schaffo skeleton altar and his son, the studio created by each of the three-dimensional relief is also a mere few skeleton form. In addition, skeleton skeleton and carved in the watch all through the manual process must be completed, will be there between each skeleton watch rather subtle differences, this unique artistic value, but also resulted in the skeleton watch collectors rush.

Secret royal wearing a watch by the European

Fashion Watch News Report: European countries can be quite constitutional monarchy, the royal luxury and wealth for themselves. Now, the palace has been infected with the Aging, and the mottled old outer wall can not cover up their huge family property. Watch this fine degree of objects in the royal family is quite a fine American, stress can not say much. Clock, watch worth mentioning, there is no European royals do not like, let us look at the watch by the European royal family to wear it!


Whether clocks or watches are the love of Royal family 

1688 Cromwell that field "glorious revolution" and then almost become like the British like the French Republic, but finally did not. Wealthy Needless to say the British royal family, Europe, the Netherlands, Belgium, Monaco, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the royal family which is not poor, do not look old palace of the house, the regiment can be thick go again. Paintings hanging on the wall, bottles and cans from the cupboard, took out a random one sent to the auction value of one to tens of millions. Some of the royal family has been swept for centuries without clearing library, and in the end say their home to take advantage of what was not sure. Perhaps the only exception is the fine hand objects such as watches, jewelry, cameras, these types of finite.


                                           Royal family get one good watch is easier than changing clothes

Speaking of loving the members of the European royal family, described by one million words can not be over, but when it comes to watches, but also add hundreds of thousands of words. Like "watch", from King Louis 16th century to start counting. But then, watch the watch is not real, or rather linked jewelry and jewelry watch. To the Victorian, and she had to go out when I wore a watch, a small piece of the watch from leading manufacturers in many later writings but because this woman has been mentioned is too dignified, almost nobody can see clear bracelet she was wearing in the end, or set in the bracelet on the "bracelet watch."

Add to watch it now, it is opened up, the pack flared. Since the old brand name mention, the new brand of rare stuff, too young to make the European royal nobles rush. Rainey Ai Monaco royal family that is not entirely easy some of the princess and the prince are all watch connoisseurs and big buyers. They relied very close to France and Switzerland from the convenience, often the shuttle to and from among the three countries, get a good watch block satisfying than the clothes we change is easier.


Royal luxury and wealth

Speaking of lists, of course, is a small timer court, mainly watches, pocket watches have a very small amount. Chinese usually have a strong general statement, a word meaning, the two combined, course of time, now that I understand completely into a meaning. Such as watches, clocks large, the watch is small, all adds up to the size of the timer count. Western counterparts, CLOCK, refers to the bell, and WACTH refers to the watch; the two must not be combined as the Chinese like that, read in is so easy to read.

In short, the clock, watch worth mentioning, there is no European royals do not like. The main room usually has a palace of priceless antique clock, but in the field collection of watches and clocks, in principle, "clock" position of not much, some people can not help but ask why? In fact, the microstructure is not rare that conclusion. Putian bulky things down to earth people who do not have much collection, one hand I was playing hard; second to the high cost of collection; third is not easy to carry and sell tasting; West also have a collection of World War II weapons, and finally had to donate it to the museum , would like to bequeath to future generations will not work, not to put too.


Much stronger than modern watches antique clock.

Although the precise clock fun, but after all, than watch a specificity and affinity, and much stronger than modern watches antique clock, two dozen international watch industry brands out loudly bangs which are not. Hardly a European royal people only recognize the sincerity of a given brand, for the Swiss watch conventional, each model in specific areas of development, so the female members and male members of the hobby is not very consistent tendency, coupled with some of the young royal members do not inherit the old aristocratic interests, such as the UK's Prince Harry, the younger members of the Spanish royal family, so, when the release of electronic watches are extremely rare royal field of vision.


Royal Watch 

Collection of watches worth more than pay attention, pay attention to the royal family more like the course, precious metals manufacturing and sale on a universal value. Then there origin and function. Have access to court wealthy plastic watch, not because of anything else, it is rare. Like the first generation of computers, whether desktop or laptop's, want to play really difficult to get hold of. In addition, distinctive appearance can watch the game, by type and color to make money is the watch manufacturing industry victorious magic, do not is a fool. Any time an essential tool in addition to the "content" to be particular about the type and color of the outside of the United States. The so-called type, of course, refers to its shape; the so-called color, refers to the overall color of the timer and all other exposed to the surface details. People are concerned about the watch is worth two points in this effort are spared.


The owner of luxury watches are rare in any era.

Watch the early design concepts and aesthetic value, the design can not be a university asked the time, already well developed, almost all of the advanced or custom varieties should have a preliminary design, and draw a large number of sketches, then pick the thousands million decided upon selected shot. Even so these clocks get now, its ingenious design, the type and color of the beautiful, exquisite craft, but also enough amazing. Only by standing on the shoulders of our predecessors to stand higher and see farther and more open. A watch was first introduced, was a novelty to sell, over a period of time, its real value can be reflected. As for how long this period of time, each different, ranging from a few years, as many as half a century or even centuries of both. International watch industry has its own set of perfect and conventional evaluation criteria, are a special case of a rare occurrence, and the watch is a special case of this rare and often is the most worthy collection of curious species, the royal family is no exception.

Antique watch is the youngest member of the watch, but it is also most worthy of collection. Speaking of collection of antique watchs, unlike porcelain palace furniture, down may not be how old, 100 years are considered incredibly, the key lies in goods. Dark-and specifically, is the watch collection features the line, lay only watch in envy. Is not too early to say, at least in Europe, since the Renaissance, all related to the metal with the timing equipment, and then compared with the other civilian goods, are of precision objects, non-wealthy people have missed. Perhaps because of this "material to dilute" the reason, decided to end its "valuable" high probability.

Although the history of the watch are not comparable across such a large palace's marble sculpture or painting, but more than cameras, cars and other senior civilian goods for long, in fact, than the general scarcity of works of art and crafts, both of you are very likely in Europe and America The flea market find, and decent watch, not so common, and some did not even a half-step over the palace. Was well-made watch or a person or a family social status and educational level of the symbol. In this large population, the watch collection value larger, more complex categories, participants and competitors more. The owner of luxury watches are rare in any era.

If your watch is "CUSTOM MADE", then it will be more room for future appreciation on the level. The simple tailor-made English combination is the meaning of the Chinese, especially custom-made for a royal family, although this alone can not guarantee a piece, but one literally, it is already, and the public to enjoy, the concept of small profits very different, not to mention the deep meaning in there too many "custom" concept is not subject to much money, and more patience to be stronger than the common people and expertise. To modern technology standards, like for every child the money out of people who can afford the "custom" piece of the world is not a problem unique watch, of course, is for the watch maker, to where your name is not a problem , it is important or for whom this watch is customized, is just an unknown upstart taking advantage of the money, or the ringing of the royal family, the original big European royal family, the Japanese royal family and later joined by Brunei's royal family, now Large orders are mainly from the Gulf countries, the absolute volume can be "scary" word to describe. Despite the progress of human civilization has now grown to as long as the money, in addition to what can be got to the point where nuclear weapons, but for a watch, the traditional criteria has not changed much. On the production process, and now the watch is quite a fine; of which have the function, nor can be described as incomplete; say to the pattern, but can not be said of many. But the really rare board watch list of the goods, or rare.

Whether it is the last pocket watch, or the popular short-watches, men in general tend to solemn and dignified body is large and heavy, of course, does not rule out the slim thin. Women tend to form exquisite and delicate, but in recent years, many luxury brands of the female form with the male form is almost enough stature, or a watch with the men with a normal size, only in color, strap, etc. There are subtle differences, there is introduced to couple sheet in the form of watchs, in addition to a smaller size, the same from the inside out. This watch can remain together if too young, not leave to leave and can usually mark the high prices. Advanced watch the "right" in the form of the sale, it is watch business marketing strategy, sales of other luxury goods is difficult to follow. Chosen to watch, because jewelry is the next of kin, so a sell two pairs, people take for granted. The use of precious metals, produced, and then crown the top brands of watches in itself a store of value, if coupled with the design, production of scarcity, and other factors effect of royal families, how can we lower the price it got.
