Athens watch pays high tribute to the petroleum industry with the latest member of the classic series-‘Baihai Oilfield Three Questions Timepiece’.
   The ‘Baihai Oilfield Minute Repeater Watch’ is crafted with enamel filling and gold carving: not only when the offshore oil rig is used to extract oil, it is dedicated to digging hidden deep in the ocean floor and belongs to the ‘black gold’ scenario of world assets. Presentation; and from the angle of looking up, vividly depicting the dazzling light of the sea water under the refraction of the sun when the marine folding arm of the rig rises from the black sea. Between the rough sea and the sky reflecting the setting sun, the delicate and exquisite structure of the oil rig can be seen at a glance. In the distance, another oil rig can be seen working diligently.
   The world-renowned Swiss Athenian watch with mechanical watches, the rest of the sound of the spring is always memorable. The complicated timepiece is not only the most difficult watch to make, but also a highly respected model for professional watchmaking and watch enthusiasts. The three offshore folding arms on the dial of the ‘Baihai Oilfield Minute Repeater’ are all mobile devices made of 18K gold. When the minute repeater function is activated, the marine folding arms of the drilling platform will follow the time. The spring sound of the spring moves synchronously, and it has audible instructions for telling the time, time and minute.
   The technique of filling enamel is a rare technique. The ‘Best Questions and Answers to the Time in Beihai Oilfield’ is the best example of this ancient art. The technique of filling enamel was first introduced in the 12th century, and today only a handful of artisans specialize in making. First of all, the enamel filling process requires the engraver to complete the design on the gold dial chassis to accurately sculpt a three-dimensional 3D pattern. Next, ask the enamel craftsman to fill in enamel blocks of different colors. After polishing the surface, the sculptor will carve all the metal dividers to perfection, bringing out the visual effect of the enamel process on paper.
   The rose gold dial with small and simple black hour markers and streamlined hour and minute hands are designed to highlight the highlight of the center of the dial-a magnificent view of the enamel oil table.
   The Swiss watch ‘Baihai Oilfield Minute Repeater’ is the representative of the extreme craftsmanship of high-end complex watches.

Time has thousands of gestures: mysterious, vivid, naughty, and unexpectedly like a woman, every ‘reading’ has a different harvest, changing rapidly and always unexpected. Harry Winston’s newly-designed haute jewellery series is designed to explore these wonderful moments: like charming red ‘confidants’ embellished with matching women but never taking the limelight at night, they decorate charming smiles and show time in a delicate and romantic way At the same time do not forget to release the mysterious atmosphere under the diamond shell.

HARRY WINSTON RENDEZ-VOUS
    Once upon a time, two people in love met secretly, and only time was an invisible witness of this love. This ‘mysterious’ watch pays tribute to the brand’s unparalleled jewelry processing skills. On one side is an elegant ‘climbing vine’ and on the other is a beautifully shining river of gems. The former is a contemporary interpretation of Harry Winston’s signature Cluster setting technique, which creates a three-dimensional effect of the gem. The center spine of the watch is inlaid with pear-shaped diamonds, and two rows of pear-shaped bright-cut diamonds on the left and right sides make the watch lively and dynamic, meandering and elegant. Opposite it is a sparkling river of bright-cut diamonds of different sizes, harmonious and smooth. All lines are delicately juxtaposed to form the perfect impeccable curve. The arrangement of two different rhythms is destined to meet unexpectedly. Once the switch is turned on, this seductive subtle game ends with a passionate embrace. All their intimate encounters are witnessed by the time hidden under the rotating watch case decorated with pear-shaped diamonds.

Admiral Longines 24-hour (second time zone) chronograph
42 mm stainless steel case, automatic winding movement L686 (ETA Valjoux 7754)
Features: Big red 24-hour arrow-shaped GMT hand with 24-hour scale on the inner edge of the bezel
Adjustment method: crown adjustment GMT pointer
     The function of the watch, in other words, is nothing more than that. Manufacturers launch new products every year, while discontinuing outdated products, all kinds of patterns can be seen on the face. The long chapter was exhausted, but he was undecided, as if it were not ‘the cup of tea of ​​his own.’
     In fact, as long as it is clear which features are most needed, the watch is not so difficult to choose. I do n’t see him. In today’s waiting halls, there are a lot of people buried in iPads. Everyone is enjoying it, and no one feels that there is anything wrong with the same thing. It is not difficult to draw the three necessary conditions for the so-called killer application, namely convenience, practicality and popularity. It is based on these three points that watch consumers will be divided into: some people only wear automatic watches, some people love the simple version of the junior calendar, some people go out and do not leave their perpetual calendar. However, from the perspective of compatibility, GMT watches are recognized as a killer application.
     That’s what GMT watches want. Ordinary mechanical watches, under normal operating conditions, we cannot adjust them, at most they are wound, otherwise it will affect the normal running time of the watch. GMT watches do not have this concern. Users can play according to their own wishes without changing the time in the main time zone. The entry-level GMT model, the adjustment of the off-site time and the main time zone are all realized through the 3-point crown. For more high-end models, the adjustment of the off-site is independent of the crown. This adjustment has profound meaning. Earlier human beings realized the independence of hands and feet. They started with grasping tools and finally grasped the fate of human beings.

Case: The case of a diving watch is generally relatively thick. The case and lugs are integrally formed from a single piece of metal, rather than assembled from multiple parts. In terms of design, it is relatively simple, and there are few complex geometric figures or multi-faceted designs. In the past, most diving watches were stainless steel cases. In recent years, titanium and ceramic materials have become popular, which has become a major attraction of diving watches.
    Dial: The design of the dial and needle of the diving watch also needs to be concise and reduce unnecessary functions. At the same time, the shape of the hands and scales must be as conspicuous as possible, and a set of special-shaped hands such as Mercedes-Benz hands, arrow hands, and geometry have gradually formed Unique dial design routine consisting of graphic time scales. In order to enhance the watch’s underwater and dark environment, many dive watches use a black dial to contrast the fluorescent coating.
    Table mirrors: Diving watches generally use thicker mirrors to increase their pressure resistance. Arched mirrors used to be standard on early dive watches, especially some of the Navy’s heritage dive watch series, such as the Blancpain 50 that had been equipped with the French diving unit and the Panerai that had been equipped with the Italian Navy. Nowadays, whether the watch lens has a strong protrusion is no longer a key factor determining the performance of a diving watch, it can only be regarded as a retro design element and a brand of the times.
    Bezel: The bezel of the diving watch is mostly a unidirectional rotating bezel with a fluorescent scale, which can help the diver to record the remaining oxygen in a countdown manner. Just turn the bezel counterclockwise to turn on the countdown function. When the bezel returns to its original position, it means that the oxygen is depleted. Before that, you should dive in for ventilation. The bezel of some diving watches is made of curved sapphire crystal glass and metal, such as Blancpain 50 search. Also made of high-tech ceramics, such as Rolex Submariner and Chanel’s J12 Marine.
    Crown: The diving watch basically uses a screw-in crown with excellent water resistance and a thick shoulder to prevent touching the crown and misoperation during exercise.

Strap: Diving watches mostly use stainless steel or rubber straps with folding safety clasps. There are also more retro canvas-like fiber straps and pin buckle designs.

Two identical dials are sandwiched by a Super-LumiNova® luminous coating to display the hands and digital scales.
