Challenge The concept of the ultimate watch comes from F1 racing, and its design is closely related to its functions. For example, the dial incorporates two complementary construction methods: a multi-level process (different materials are stacked on top of each other) and a honeycomb process (to make the material stronger). The engineers also used the physical principles of shock waves to design the case to disperse the impact. The chronograph’s spiral hands also ensure greater resistance, as they can evacuate energy in the event of an impact.
先进 ZENITHIUM This advanced material is applied to one or more mandrels. This new material is three times harder than stainless steel and combines metal titanium (increased strength), aluminum (weight reduction), and niobium (shape memory). As a result, DEFY Xtreme is super powerful, unbreakable, and safe even at 100 atmospheres or 1,000 meters deep.
Such a technological miracle delivers a new aesthetic vision. Rose gold brings a new design concept, which has inspired the whole series, whether it is a tourbillon, a chronograph happy, an aviation model or a kinetic energy storage model. On the case or strap, the contrast with titanium and Kevlar fiber is so striking; on the dial, carbon fiber is set against the rose gold propeller, pointer and movement cover. Overall, the contrast between the two colors gives this watch an unexpected impact. Today, ‘fashion charm’ has become its new impetus.
ZENITH Defy Xtreme Chronograph Sea
Material: black titanium, carbon fiber
Movement: El Primero 4000 SX automatic winding movement (31 stones)
Functions: hours, minutes, small seconds, date display / stopwatch function / helium exhaust
Strap: black titanium, tempered glass fiber blend, butterfly clasp
Water resistance: 1000 meters
Mirror: Sapphire Crystal
Exaggerated and domineering case shape
     Defy Xtreme is a sports series launched by ZENITH in 2006 and a turning point in the design of ZENITH watches. This is because in the past, Zenith watches were more classic, but Defy Xtreme appeared in an exaggerated and domineering case, with a diameter of up to 46mm, a completely black black titanium case, and a number of technology concepts and materials. The completely professional appeal also presents an amazing appearance. When it comes to innovative or composite materials, Defy Xtreme fits almost exactly from the inside out. The first is the black titanium material of the case. Although it is similar to a titanium alloy, its hardness is 60% higher than that of stainless steel and it is twice as light as titanium alloy. This is to prevent such a huge case from being overly heavy, and To be able to cope with severe collisions, precisely because of its high hardness, ZENITH also developed special diamond drills and cutting tools to make Defy Xtreme’s watch cases, bands and other parts.

The combination of black titanium and carbon fiber
     The unique double-grid crown guard bridge, combined with black titanium, is the standard to withstand the impact design. This time, the carbon fiber material is added to the bezel, which echoes the carbon fiber push handle, which shows the Xtreme sports style.
Multi-level visual effects
     The design of the face plate has also been specially conceived. It seems that the multi-level visual effect is actually composed of Hesalite, aluminum and carbon fiber materials. However, in the chronograph model, a fourth carbon fiber material is also added. Its multi-level concept is derived from the honeycomb structure, which can effectively resist impacts and disperse the impact force from the outside. Even a small seconds turntable is designed with a device, that is, when the impact force reaches a certain stage, the The device will be released to allow the turntable to rotate, forming a physical effect called Helical, which increases the strength of the faceplate force. Inside, of course, is Zenith’s proud El Primero movement, from tourbillons, power reserve chronographs to chronographs. In 2008, a micro three-tier date dial (Stealth) was added, but among them Most importantly, ZENITH has exclusively developed a material called Zenithium. It is a new metal made of titanium, steel and aluminum. From development to use in El Primero high-speed movement, it took a total of five years to complete the volume. This material emphasizes the ability to absorb external shocks. Defy Xtreme uses a total of three bridges on the balance wheel, escapement wheel and chronograph wheel set, so it can stabilize key wheel sets and maintain accurate travel time and timing.

Professional strength up to 1000 meters
     The black titanium screw-in case back provides Defy Xtreme’s 1000-meter-high water resistance. The words on the case back are also unambiguously changed to blue.
Surprisingly calm and resolute
     In 2008, Defy Xtreme added the Sea style, which mainly appealed to the concept of summer sports and the sea. Therefore, many details of the watch are presented in blue, such as time scales, numbers and time dials, and other parts continue the original Design, but the overall dark blue with black titanium visual effects, surprisingly stable and resolute, but ZENITH has also significantly increased the composite material, such as the use of carbon fiber material for the bezel, and more particularly, ZENITH was originally in the The Chinese and Israeli stainless steels contain a mixture of Kevlar fiber and aluminum, while the Sea model uses black titanium to cover a reinforced mixture with 20% glass fiber. Defy Xtreme’s overall use of innovation and composite materials has reached a very high level. After the change, this time series Sea series still has many different new ideas.

Tambour LV Cup watch specially made by the Louis Vuitton Cup, the dial integrates the shape of the sail, the 9-minute minute hand chronograph, and the 10-minute mark is marked by a striking red
The greatest trip-the past and present of the Louis Vuitton Cup In 1983, the America’s Cup regatta evolved into two events. The first is the Louis Vuitton Cup, the qualifier of the America’s Cup. Only the winner of the Louis Vuitton Cup is eligible to challenge the previous American Cup champion. At that time, the leader of the ‘Baron Bich’ team invited friends who worked at Louis Vuitton to the summer resort of Rhode Island, Newport, to visit the America’s Cup. Soon, both parties discovered that the passion of the America’s Cup and the value it carries are in line with the spirit of Louis Vuitton’s brand-for many years, Louis Vuitton has been continuously exploring the meaning of travel to human beings, and the world-renowned America The regatta proved to people that the world’s greatest travel can be experienced only by breaking the waves on the ocean. From 1983 to 2007, the Louis Vuitton Cup, the outpost of the America’s Cup regatta, was held 7 times, witnessing a series of historical events such as the return of the America’s Cup to Europe after 152 years. In 2008, while defending champion Switzerland’s ‘Alinghi’ was still arguing with the American challenger ‘Oracle BMW’ over the rules of the game, the Louis Vuitton Cup and the America’s Cup sailing race broke up. Message. In 2009, the reborn Louis Vuitton Global Sailing Series (LVWS) came into people’s sight. This is undoubtedly good news for top professional players, because LVWS is second to none in the world, whether it is the setting of the schedule, the location of the races or the 5ACC class single-handed sailing boat.
The origin of J12-Chanel and the America’s Cup
The America’s Cup Regatta is the world’s earliest intercontinental sporting event and the originator of modern international sporting events. In 1851, the ‘America’ ​​sailboat owned by the New York Yacht Club was invited to participate in a competition with fifteen sailboats representing the Royal Yachts fleet. As a result, the Americas won unexpectedly and brought the trophy back to the United States, sweeping the face of the confident British. As a result, the America’s Cup regatta, the world’s top sailing challenge for honor, kicked off. This money-burning campaign, which is closely related to wealth and honor, has never really achieved fair competition. The wealthy people invest at no cost in order to make their sailboats better. In order to restrict the vessels of the sailing competition, some ‘international rules’ were successively formulated, such as the 12-meter rule of the International Sailing Federation which was applied from 1958 to 1987. Chanel’s J12 watch draws design inspiration from it. With a superior shape and advanced high-tech precision ceramic materials, it reproduces the scene of the ’12-meter class’ in the America’s Cup. .
Speaking of Ralph Lauren, everyone will always think of its iconic Polo shirt reflexively, but most people are still strange to its clocks. Ralph Lauren has been involved in the watch industry since last year, and has previously been in the European and American markets. This year, he began to enter the Chinese mainland. Many watch friends naturally classify it as a fashion watch when they see a watch produced by a fashion brand. I don’t quite agree with this view. Fashion brands are best at designing. After designing the game and borrowing the movement technology and production technology of professional manufacturers, can you say that this watch is not a professional watch?
From Polo shirts to watches, although spanning different fields, Ralph Lauren is exactly the same in the high-end positioning of the product. Ralph Lauren’s flagship watch is the Stirrup series. The stirrup-shaped design makes people know at first glance that it is the designer’s best effort and has the potential of flagship products. I took the watch in my hands and looked carefully, and found that the overall craftsmanship of this watch was indeed exquisite, almost indistinguishable from the high-end watches of professional manufacturers. Ralph Lauren watches of different styles, using Piaget, Jaeger-LeCoultre and IWC, respectively, coupled with the design of star characteristics, this fashion brand on the stage of high-end watches, has taken its own professional ‘dressing Dance steps. ‘

The Charming Bird technical characteristics:
● Sapphire crystal sound system
● Singing tits moving couple device
● Limited to 28
JAQUET DROZ’s The Charming Bird has a lively moving puppet device and a gently crisp bird’s time signal, which is different from the ordinary watch, making him the focus of watch circles.
A gift for the 275th anniversary of the founding
In fact, as early as 2013, in order to celebrate the 275th anniversary of the brand, JAQUET DROZ stunning the world with this Charming Bird. After two years of improvement, The Charming Bird launched a more sophisticated version. This finished product was not only in 2015. At the Basel Watch Fair in 2014, the brand’s craftsmanship was displayed. At the end of the year’s Oscars, the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève, it won the ‘Innovative Mechanical Watch’ category award, which was the brand’s current year. representative work.
This time the blue tits are very different
Many features of this old version, such as the eccentric hour and minute dial of the JAQUET DROZ signature plate, and the spherical mirror at 6 o’clock below form the ‘8’ shape, which is like the brand’s traditional large second hand layout, which marks the brand DNA. The visual focus of the entire watch is the blue tit in the ball! Birds have always been an important creative proposition of JAQUET DROZ. Today, the brand has already used a variety of techniques to express different attitudes of birds. The birds on this watch appear in 3D, combining master craftsmanship such as carving and painting. , The clever stand inside the sphere greatly increases the eye-catching index of this watch! As long as the pusher at 2 o’clock is activated, the bird will begin to flutter its wings, open its beak, and rotate in place.
It really sounds like a bird!
What’s even more amazing is that this bird also makes a beautiful chirping sound. The brand reduced the sounding system originally used for antique bird chimes to a large extent, and concentrated it on watches with square inches, while retaining the effect of loud bird chimes. Its technical difficulty can be imagined. The movement of the movable device is driven by three cams, one of which drives the bird to rotate, the other drives the beak to open and close, the wings and bird tail move, and the three control the tone. The chirping bird sound comes from the sapphire crystal sound system in the micro-mechanical device in the movement. It is designed by the bellows and is generated by air. In order to make the timepiece sound long and pleasant, the brand presents the melody in three different tones. The brand has also conducted long-term in-depth research on the vibration of the movement parts to reduce the noise generated during the operation of the machine. As a result, the noise of the new work during the operation of the machine is almost inaudible, and the bird song is louder and longer.
Pioneering new definition of complex functions
The Charming Bird has carried forward the brand’s signature motion technology, combined with hearing and visual enjoyment, to create a life-like beauty on the wrist with soul. No other gorgeous complication is needed, this Charming Bird is shocking enough. Combined with the transparent sapphire crystal dial, the beauty of mechanical operation also brings excellent visual experience. With the black machine plate, silver gear and other movement parts, it is slightly more modern, which also makes this watch suitable Set aside from the understated elegance that is common with brands. In addition to the platinum case version, there are also rose gold case versions, both of which are limited to 28 pieces.

Feature 1: using sapphire crystal system
The inside of the movement uses a sapphire crystal sound system and an air box design. The sound tube is sapphire crystal, hard and wear-resistant; the piston is made of carbon material, which can reduce friction. The piston is used to pump and store air, and to make the sound of a time signal.

Feature two: Fine carving
Birds have always been an important theme of the brand. Starting with feather carving and finishing the delicate head and bird tail, the craftsman must be fully absorbed, and the delicate strokes and bright colors make it come to life.

Feature 3: Visual effects with a sense of technology
With a strong sense of perspective, the dial pattern and the 6-point spherical mirror surface exude a sense of technology that looks quite subversive to the classic elegance of the brand’s timepieces.

Feature four: the integration of Jacques Dro craftsmanship
The 610 movement combines the two-needle travel time, moving couple, and sounding device. The difficulty of sounding device production is significantly reduced after the system scale is significantly smaller than the antique bird chime. Interactive device on your wrist.

The earliest time in Athens began to make sailing clocks in 1846. The Athens brand, which started from making sailing clocks, has a very absolute position in diving watches. Athens created a patented dual-window large date window display watch (Patent No. CH 688 671) in 1995, making the date display at a glance. The patented large date window display technology was first applied to the revolutionary Ludwig perpetual calendar in 1996. Watch.
This version introduced today belongs to the brand’s Michelangelo series. This series has basically been discontinued and is not common on the market. Its significance lies in breaking the tradition and thinking spirit.
 Michelangelo is a well-known Renaissance artist. His sculptures, represented by the ‘muscles,’ are known for their strength, and they have deeply influenced the artistic trends that followed. Athens used this as its background, using a barrel-shaped case that the brand had never used before, and using Roman numerals to express its respect for art.

The case of the Athens 273-68 / 412 watch is made of stainless steel. The lugs and the case are perfectly integrated and integrated, and the barrel shape also implies classical, artistic and breakthrough. The black dial is inlaid with Roman hour markers, and the center area of ​​the dial is the functional block of the watch. From the blue hands to the functional layout, the whole is simple and reasonable. The oval shape also fits this classic temperament.
The strap is a black alligator leather strap with brown lining. If you use a word to describe it, you should use ‘elegance’.
Athens 273-68 / 412 Cask Watch has two functions: calendar display and power reserve.
The calendar display is located at 6 o’clock on the dial and is displayed in a smaller window, which is also located at 6 o’clock on the small seconds dial. From the perspective of daily wear, such a font, although small, can be clearly seen, even larger than the font of the small second dial. In addition, the calendar is a very useful feature.
The power reserve display is located at 12 o’clock on the dial and is indicated by a separate hand. The power reserve display function has many benefits. It is a measure to protect the mainspring from reminding you to wind up in time. After all, the mainspring is metal. Long-term expansion and contraction will cause metal fatigue. Watches without a dynamic storage display are generally watch friends It will be wound every day or from time to time. Increasing the frequency of manual winding will cause the metal to be more fatigued. The dynamic storage reminds the table friends that they do not need to hand-wind on a specific power reserve.

All the Michelangelo watches in Athens are designed in the style of barrel-type watches that have never appeared in other series. It is a breakthrough of the traditional circle of the brand. Designing different types of kegs is even more difficult. The ‘wine barrel’ lines in Athens are smoother and softer, and the case is fuller.
The Athens 273-68 / 412 watch uses black as the dial’s base color and gray as the main color. The overall color is too deep, and the appearance of the blue hands breaks this depth, making the watch more agile. In fact, the innovation of the Michelangelo watch in Athens in terms of craftsmanship and mechanical structure is not so significant, but its unique shape and the historical and artistic significance behind it are more valued.
