In Chinese history, chickens have always been gifted with positive, sunny, punctual, and so on. Majestic and cocky roosters have always represented energy and hard work. Athens Watch of Switzerland launched the new year of the rooster zodiac with golden enamel enamel 鎏 in 2017. In this watch, the rooster has always held his head upright, showing his energetic appearance. And this watch uses the rare enamel technology to highlight the brand’s innovative ideas and superb technology. (Watch model: 8152-111-2 / ROOSTER)

Complex procedures, precious and rare

   The Athens watch has been using enamel technology for more than 25 years to make dials. It is also one of the few watchmaking brands specializing in this century-old technology. The master of craftsmanship captures the natural power and beauty of the rooster on the classic dial of the Golden Rooster. Through the infilled enamel technology with a history of more than 100 years, the master craftsman’s sketches are given different lives.

   The 40mm 18K rose gold case is extremely luxurious. Through the anti-glare sapphire crystal glass, you can clearly see a gilt golden rooster proudly present on the dial. This process of filling enamel first uses a chisel to sculpt grooves on the metal faceplate according to the texture of the pattern, and then fills in the enamel glaze blending solution. Different metal oxides will extract different color hues, and then set the color after baking at high temperature. After the dial is polished, there is a very fine process. The engraver will carve all the metal dividing lines on the dial to enhance the visual effect. The complicated process and the exquisite craftsmanship are only for making an extraordinary work.

   The crown is inlaid with a sapphire, which shines charmingly. The classic logo of the Athens brand is drawn on the top, which is beautiful and elegant. The crown is also waterproof, which meets the needs of daily life.

   The strap is perfectly connected with the lugs and complements the ocher gold color of the dial. The overall hue and texture reveal a noble and elegant temperament. The black leather strap and rose gold pin buckle look elegant and elegant. The strap material will increase the comfort of the wrist when worn on the wrist.

   The watch is equipped with a UN-815 movement, certified by the Swiss official observatory, and is recognized for its extraordinary quality. It has an automatic winding function, a transparent case back design, and sapphire crystal glass, which is fixed by screws. The power reserve is about 42 hours and the waterproof depth is 50 meters.

   Combining the distinctive movement with exquisite enamel technology, it gives the watch a unique texture. Athens Watch sincerely launches a limited edition of 88 gold-plated golden rooster watches. This elegant watch is a must-have for successful brave and confident people, and is also loved and respected by collectors.
Summary: The Athens watch 鎏 Golden Rooster watch vividly shows the rooster’s look, which is unforgettable. The Athens watch uses a rare enamel process to realistically interpret a realism on the dial. Watch design shows a passion to move forward, just as people need to fight for life, they need to fight for it. This exquisite and beautiful timepiece is limited to 88 pieces, and it is worth owning regardless of collection or wearing.

The brand Omega is a giant of the times. This classic constellation table, the original pointed fly logo will cause many memories of the observatory of the past. In fact, the Omega 5 series and 3 series are very exciting. Regardless of the technology and performance of the movement, time has given the best assurance. The upper frame of the gold watch used is made by pressing a thin layer of gold on the original steel case, as if it is set on the watch case, hence the name of gold. This process is more wear-resistant and durable than gold-clad and gold-plated. The transaction price of this watch belongs to a moderate range. I carefully looked at the dial of this watch. Some characters and the central cross line have obvious scrub marks. This is a fatal injury. If the dial style is gossip, the price will be much higher.

As an independent complex function, the chronograph has always occupied a place in the watchmaking industry. The timepiece itself shows the passage of time in an intuitive way, but achieving other mechanical functions is a big challenge, because adding a timing function will interfere with the operation of the main gear train. In order to avoid this problem, Breguet has adopted two sets of independent gear trains in the new Chronograph Chronographe Indépendant 7077 series: a set for driving the hour and minute hands, which is adjusted by a balance wheel with a frequency of 3 Hz. It has a 50-hour power reserve; the gear train used for timing functions uses a 5 Hz high-frequency balance wheel to ensure timing accuracy, and cooperates with the gear train responsible for time display. Breguet’s research on high-frequency balances shows that the higher the vibration frequency, the more stable the travel time accuracy, because interference can be quickly corrected. The two gear trains are not connected to each other, so turning on the timing function will not affect the movement of the movement.

   Usually, installing a second gear train means installing two barrels to power the timing device, which requires more space, and the two barrels must be wound separately. Breguet’s watchmakers have adopted a new type of spring on the new Tradition Chronographe Indépendant 7077, which perfectly meets the power requirements of the chronograph. The power required by the timing device comes from the energy provided by the wearer when operating the zero button. Curly leaf-shaped springs can store this energy. Although this traditional spring can only store up to 20 minutes of power, it is suitable for timing functions that measure short-term activities. With this design, the power reserve of the timing device is always full, so the wearer can turn on the timing function at any time without worrying about whether the movement power is sufficient. Breguet has designed a special-shaped spring to ensure that it is always fully curled and has sufficient elasticity to provide additional power when the insurance is released.

   This application of leaf-shaped springs has brought a series of related innovations to Breguet. The eccentric gear train is connected to the leaf spring to offset its torque, thereby ensuring that the amplitude and swing speed of the timing device remain stable. Breguet has applied for a patent for the spring and gear train. This gear train adopts a new shape that can stably output power after changing the previous bending range. In addition, the 7077 chronograph is equipped with an exclusive patented titanium chronograph balance, which perfectly complements the movement balance. If the balance wheel is made of high-density material, its size will generally be reduced. However, one of the characteristics of the Tradition series is that it uses a transparent bottom cover to display the main components of the movement. Therefore, in order not to affect the overall appearance, although the frequency of the two balance wheels is different, Breguet chose the same size and published For aesthetic considerations a symmetrical mounting position is used.

   The timekeeping function of this Breguet Tradition watch is controlled by two screw-in waterproof buttons. Unlike ordinary chronographs, one of these two buttons controls the start of timing, and the other controls the time reset to zero and resets the timing function. It is the latter’s return-to-zero function that tightens the leaf-shaped springs and stores power for the next time. The titanium balance wheel is also equipped with two braking devices on both sides. The first one is mounted on the cam. When the timing starts, the balance wheel is released, and when the timing stops, the balance wheel is fastened. This design ensures that the balance wheel is always in the ideal position and can reach normal amplitude quickly. The innovative device has been patented.

   Tradition’s patented pare-chute shock absorber protection and timing control device reflect the long history of Breguet, especially the timing control device, which reminds us of Breguet’s sale on January 6, 1825 4009 double-second Observation Timer.

   Breguet Heritage Chronographe Indépendant 7077 Heritage Chronograph inherits the traditional characteristics of this series, especially the perfect symmetrical effect. The engraved gold-plated silver dial shows the hours and minutes with an eccentric dial at 12 o’clock, and the chronograph hands are in the center of the dial. The timekeeping indicator is at 6 o’clock. The 2 o’clock position and the corresponding 10 o’clock position each have a retrograde hand to indicate the watch’s power reserve and accumulated chronological minutes, respectively; the 4 o’clock position and the 8 o’clock position are two balance wheels. This hand-wound timepiece is water-resistant to 3 Pa (30 m) and comes with a leather strap.
