The leading Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, and Richard Miller make everyone feel that they can be sold as long as they are sports watches. If you fall, you may even have to raise prices in the secondary market or fall into a long queue. Especially high-end sports watches, there are fewer competing products. In 2010, watchmaker Laurent Ferrier launched his own name under Patek Philippe. In the year the brand was launched, the Galet Classic won the Geneva Men’s Watch Award for Best Men’s Watch. This award has opened the visibility of this young brand in the global market. However, the brand was in danger for a while, almost stopped eating, and later got an investment of 500,000 Swiss francs to survive the crisis. Facing the huge market, the former Danish watch brand Urban Jürgensen launched its first luxury sports watch in March, and today Laurent Ferrier is also closely following. This Grand Sport uses a 44mm steel case and a rubber strap. The dial is a smoky gradient brown. The long waterdrop-shaped scales and hands are made of platinum and filled with eye-catching orange and yellow luminous light. In order to make a name for itself, the first batch of the tourbillon movement only sold this time, limited to 12 pieces, priced at about 1.15 million yuan. Monochrome, a foreign watch and clock media, ran to take pictures of the real thing. # 江 诗 丹 顿 美食 三 问 万年历 #Phillips will auction a rare Vacheron Constantin watch Ref.3620 on May 11, with a three-question, retrograde perpetual calendar, which is considered to be one of the most important in the history of Vacheron Constantin brand. Antique watch. In December 1935, Vacheron Constantin received a letter from the Spanish retailer Brooking, a Spanish businessman named Francisco Martinez Llano wanted to customize a complicated watch. In the end, he set several requirements: a barrel-shaped case, three questions, retrograde display, perpetual calendar, and enamel lettering on the back cover. The most special thing is that the start lever of the three questions function should be set on the right side of the case, and Not the regular left. At the same time, he also required the dial to be concise, so he deleted the leap year display of the perpetual calendar. In addition, for accessories, Llano ordered two dials ‘one radium luminous numeral and another enamel black Breguet character’. And six extra belts because Llano lives in hot Madrid. For this watch, Llano paid 3750 Swiss francs at today’s price, which is about 1.2 million US dollars. After receiving the order, Vacheron Constantin found Nicole as the three-question movement, Victorin Piguet as the simplified perpetual calendar, and Stern Frères as the dial. After 4 years, Vacheron Constantin delivered the watch in January 1940. Its owner, Llano, wore it for the next seven years until his death in 1947. The watch was then placed in a vault for more than 60 years. Because it is an orphan and hidden in the vault for many years, everyone knows little about the public information of this watch. Most people have only seen a black and white photo in the book, and even the material of the case of this watch is unknown. . In 2011, Alex Ghotbi received an anonymous message online, and some people claimed to have this Ref. 3620, which had disappeared for many years. Just when Alex Ghotbi was so excited, the man disappeared again. It was only recently that Alex Ghotbi reconnected with him and learned that he was a descendant of Llano. Over the years, the enamel black Breguet characters of that year have been lost, and the radium luminous figures have long been worn out. This Ref.3620 was returned to the original Vacheron Constantin factory. In addition to repairing and maintaining the movement, it was also equipped with a dial remade in the style of the 1930s. The final transaction price was 740,000 Swiss francs, or about RMB 5 million. # 最 繁 的 凤凰 丹尼斯 作品 # On May 11, 2019, Phillips will auction a piece of George Daniels George Geneva’s work in Geneva, Switzerland, which is known as ‘the greatest contemporary watchmaker’. And this pocket watch with three questions, perpetual calendar, tourbillon, coaxial escapement, thermometer, time equation, moon phase, power reserve, hour, minute and second display is also the ‘most complicated clock’ made by George Daniels. Mentioning George Daniels’s name may be strange to some of his cousins. However, the ‘coaxial escapement’ he invented became famous after being promoted and used by the watch brand Omega. George Daniels was born in England in 1926. In 1944, at the age of 18, he entered the British Army. At that time, he had already become interested in clocks, so he taught himself to repair and did some simple repairs for friends in the army. In 1947, George Daniels retired, purchased some tools with a £ 50 retirement fee, and officially started his watchmaking career. After more than a decade of hard work, George Daniels opened his first watch repair shop in London in 1960. The machinery is interlinked, and when designing watches and clocks, George Daniels was also involved in the maintenance of vintage cars. During this time, he met a close friend ‘Sam Clutton’ who played an important ‘turning point’ in his watch career. Sam Clutton not only likes vintage cars, but also collects antique clocks and has a lot of connections with European high-end watch collectors. So through Sam Clutton’s matchmaking, George Daniels was fortunate to have access to a large number of fine antique clocks, including the works of the French watchmaker Breguet in the eighteenth century. Even more rare is that as a technician, George Daniels can disassemble and maintain Breguet’s work, instead of simply looking at the appearance. Over time, George Daniels became an expert figure studying Breguet. In 1969, George Daniels made his first pocket watch by hand, thus starting his ‘watchmaking’ career. The area where George Daniels excels is ‘escapement’. The invention of the ‘Co-axial’ coaxial escapement has influenced the world watchmaking industry. Therefore, according to the different escapements, George Daniels’ watchmaking career was divided into three stages: Detent Observatory escapement, 1969-1976. Double Impulse escapement from 1976 to 1979. Co-axial escapement, George Daniels died from 1979 to 2011. This Grand Complication pocket watch not only has three-question, perpetual calendar, tourbillon, thermometer, time equation, moon phase, power reserve, hour, minute, and second display functions, and more importantly, it uses Daniels proud Co-axial Shaft escapement. This Grand Complication has remained with him since it was made in 1987 until the death of Daniels in 2011. It has never been sold in his life, showing its cherishment. After his death, Daniels’ collections of watches and clocks for decades belonged to the George Daniels Education Trust. In 2017, Sotheby’s auctioned 134 of them and raised more than 8 million pounds to help students obtain higher education in the fields of horology, engineering, medicine, and architecture. This includes the Grand Complication, which was sold at a price of 918,450 pounds, or about 8 million yuan. The final transaction price on May 11, 2019 was 2.42 million Swiss francs, or approximately 16.31 million yuan, which doubled in two years. # 百年 梅花 发布 自 制造 机 # In 1919, Swiss Fritz Schluep founded a new watch brand called ‘Felco’, which was later renamed ‘Felca’. However, it is embarrassing that, whether it is the old name or the new name, I think most people have no impression at all, and they do not know it. But when it comes to ‘Titoni Plum Blossom’, many Chinese are particularly familiar with it. In fact, ‘Titoni plum’ is a watch brand derived from ‘Felca’. This year is exactly the 100th anniversary of this family business that has been passed down for 3 generations. To this end, the brand launched the first self-produced movement T10, which provides a 68-hour long power reserve, and will be first installed in the brand’s new Line 1919 series. As China’s largest market for plum blossoms, this grand conference was naturally held in China. congratulations! —END —
