Cartier (Cartier) launched three metal Santos-Dumont skeleton watch

Cartier’s boldest yet, the Santos-Dumont, also features a new in-house movement (oh, and the lacquer is back, too).

Over the past dozen years, Cartier cheap has made a habit of releasing eye-catching skeletonized watches. It started with the Santos 100 in 2009, and this year Cartier launched the Santos-Dumont skeleton watch in three metals.

The three Santos-Dumont skeleton models are equipped with Cartier’s new 9629 MC movement, a micro-rotor movement composed of 212 parts, which Cartier said took two years to develop at its La Chaux-de-Fonds factory. become.

The flagship of the new Santos-Dumont Skeleton collection is the yellow gold version, limited to 150 pieces. The case and bezel have a blue lacquer finish, a bit like the lacquer of last year’s Santos-Dumont Limited Edition, and it looks just as good. In addition, Cartier also launched rose gold and stainless steel Santos-Dumont.

Movement aside, to be clear, this is a gigantic aside, the skeletonized Santos-Dumont is familiar: case thicknesses of 31mm and 8mm (“big” in Cartier’s dictionary), bezel with exposed screws, each This model features Cartier’s signature blue cabochon and blued steel hands.

Cartier’s in-house caliber 9629 MC is a beautifully crafted self-winding movement. Most notable is the tiny rotor at 8 o’clock in the shape of the Demoiselle, a series of light aircraft designed by pilot Alberto Santos-Dumont himself (he was a friend of Louis Cartier, who designed the original Santos -Dumont Discount watches for him). No one should miss a little romance with this tiny model airplane soaring above the globe.

Cartier has been working on designing skeleton movements from the ground up since 2009, and it shows. Let’s remember that Cartier only reintroduced the Santos-Dumont in 2019 as a decent entry-level quartz watch.

Four years later, we have Santos-Dumont’s skeletonized micro-rotor – and we’ve all come a long way. The painted gold version won’t set the watch internet on fire like last year’s trio due to its limited nature, but the blue and gold combo is just right (I grew up watching Reggie Miller wear the Indiana Pacers tormenting the Knicks’ yellow and blue jerseys, but I know my Golden State Warriors, Notre Dame, Los Angeles Rams and many others fans will nod). Of course, I could do it without that little model plane (miniature rotor) that circles the globe, but that’s Cartier – blending its historical narrative into its modern brand, sometimes even wrongly.

Every time Cartier makes a hollow copy watches, it is a little different. The structure of the movement is just right for Cartier’s famous shaped watches. Asymetrique is not the same as Cloche, not the same as Chinoise; not at all the same as last year’s Masse Mystérieuse. Of course, it’s a formula. But the magic is in execution.

By the way, this is not the only skeleton design Cartier has made this year. This year’s complex skeleton Cartier pocket watch is a pocket watch that combines a minute repeater, a flying tourbillon and a perpetual calendar. It measures only 35mm. Seeing a beautiful modern pocket watch like this only makes me appreciate the minimalist Santos-Dumont even more.

ULYSSE NARDIN: Introducing the Marine Torpedo

zelin0802

Introducing the Marine Torpilleur, a lightweight, modern nautical timepiece for those who control their own destiny.

In the 19th century, when explorers roamed the oceans, the pocket timepiece was the captain’s watch, a sign of his status on shore and at sea. Ulysse Nardin’s pocket-sized chronometers are among the most coveted – prized by naval officers and merchant captains around the world. A vibrant nautical history has resulted in an iconic nautical chronometer, the ultimate expression of technical performance and beautiful design.

Now, there is a new generation of chronometers designed for the modern age: the Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur.

Named after the small, fast boats of that early era, whose agility ensured they could easily outrun larger vessels, this is a timepiece for the contemporary explorer. The Marine Torpileur is a lighter, thinner version of the iconic Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronometer, designed for a younger, less formal age. Sure, it has a dynamic appeal, but it’s also backed by generations of craftsmanship and performance that loyal customers know they can expect from the Swiss watchmaker. Like the marine chronometer from which it was inspired, the Torpilleur is powered by an in-house self-winding UN-118 movement with the same 60-hour power reserve and proprietary silicon anchor escapement. Marine Torpileur is also COSC certified and meets the same exacting standards, allowing it to proudly receive the Ulysse Nardin Certificate of Performance.

The outstanding design is also evident on the dial, where the iconic features of the Marine collection are evident: Roman numeral hour markers and the iconic “1846” emblem with flashing red. While the elegant hands have the recognizable shape of a marine timepiece, they are also redesigned for the marine Torpilleur.

The small seconds at 6 o’clock surrounds the date window, and the 60-hour power reserve indicator is at 12 o’clock. fashion cheap watch

Sophisticated and modern logo. This is the new Marine Torpileur. Initially available in three different models and two different dials, in stainless steel and 18 karat rose gold. Three successful visions of our times that embody the modern spirit:

Zunba, a low-key but powerful flagship – OMEGA

zelin0802

For a long time, Speedmaster, Hippocampus, Constellation and De Ville are the four series that OMEGA is well known to us. The presence and discussion of Zunba seems to be lower than that of other watches. In fact, Zunba belongs to the Constellation series, which originated from the famous design of the 1952 Constellation series. With a classic design and a Master Chronometer movement, the Zunba is also the world’s first Master Chronometer. As the flagship model of the brand, why is it so low-key?

Omega Constellation was born in 1952, and then in the 1950s, the Constellation series began to be sold in the United States, but in the United States at that time, “Constellation” was registered by other companies, so Omega could not use this name.

In 2015, Omega replica reactivated the name “Zunba” and launched a new Zunba watch, which is still divided into the constellation series. With its elegant design style, it is equipped with Omega’s most advanced Observatory movement, which has also passed the Strictly tested by the Observatory, Zunba has also become Omega’s flagship watch.

It can be seen that the most iconic design of the Zunba series is the gossip design on the disk. The inspiration for this design comes from the 1960s and 1970s. Because the shape resembles a dessert “pie” that is often eaten abroad, it is also called “pie plate”, while it is often called Bagua noodles in China. Judging from the elements of the dial, the Zunba series continues the constellation star logo. This Sedna K gold Zunba is made of Sedna K gold for the case, hands and hour markers. This material is the brand’s patented material. , the color is relatively brighter. The hour markers and hour markers are covered with Super-LumiNova luminous coating, and the time reading function at night is also guaranteed.

There is also a more special design, which is the dog tooth design of the bezel. Omega’s constellation in the 1970s, in addition to abalone shells and double calendars, another major feature of the era is the dog tooth ring. Zunba’s dog tooth ring is actually inspired by the antique constellation in the 1970s, not other modern brands. Omega’s dog teeth are finer and more reflective, giving people a more elegant overall feel, and you can see its production level. replica watches perfect

The watch is paired with a brown leather strap, and the Sedna 18K gold observatory badge is set on the sapphire glass case back, showing a refined and elegant style.

In December 2014, Omega and the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS) jointly held a press conference to announce the launch of a new watch certification program. The Zunba watch is the first watch to be tested and certified by the new watch certification process, becoming the world’s first Master Chronometer watch. This procedure not only measures the performance of the watch under everyday wear and tear, but also ensures that the watch and movement can function properly when exposed to a strong magnetic field of 15,000 gauss.

The watch is equipped with the Omega 8901 Co-Axial Master Chronometer movement, which uses innovative anti-magnetic technology. Not only the movement, but the Master Chronometer certification also requires the entire watch to undergo an overall anti-magnetic and waterproof test, which is more stringent than the general certification process. There are very few watches that pass this test.

In addition, the Zunba series also has stainless steel models to choose from, but there will be some differences in details such as the configuration of the movement. Some people like Zunba, because it is low-key enough but powerful. Whether it is the identity of the first Master Chronometer watch, or the classic design and brand origin, it deserves to be called the flagship of the brand.
