The extraordinary DEFYZEROGVIRGENDEGUADELUPE presents the revered image of the Catholic Virgin in the small chapel of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City.

25 years after the reunification of East and West, the German Glashütte Watch Museum held a special exhibition showing the outstanding achievements of Glashütte’s former designers, watchmakers, toolmakers and Precision machinery. Despite the difficulties, the museum has successfully preserved the precious watchmaking traditions of the East German era.
   With the establishment of the VEB Glashütter Uhrenbetriebe (abbreviated as VEB GUB), Glashütte opened a new chapter in history. From 1951 to 1990, the state-owned enterprise produced many products and equipment for scientific research and daily life. At this special exhibition, various products of this period, including watches, marine clocks, special machinery, wall clocks and different types of timekeeping products will be presented to the world.
   Before 1990, the Glashütte People’s Watch Factory became the largest employer in the region. In addition to producing watches, it also undertakes other tasks including talent training and organizing employees’ leisure activities, which will also appear in this exhibition.
   The museum displays a range of products, tools, special equipment, teaching materials, drawings, and numerous historical photos of the time. The sales and marketing methods of the East German era are also reflected in original promotional videos and product manuals.

If morning peaks, meetings, and investment are the main themes of your life, then the significance of travel is that at three points and one line of life, a section of SOLO has finally appeared. Travel the world and enjoy the convenience and reliability of a luxury sports or business travel watch. Travelling with a tourbillon? It really hurts. However, the watch can only be placed quietly at home? That does not lose the meaning of its rotation? When you go out, you also need a long-powered watch!

   Of course, this depends on its powerful Cal.242 automatic winding movement,
243 parts, with a diameter of only 30.60 mm and a thickness of only 6.10 mm, are equipped with a silicon spring and a pallet for reducing the influence of magnetic fields. On the 12th, Honghuang’s power only relied on a clockwork box. For the entire watchmaking industry, it is also necessary to worship Blancpain watchmakers.

   The 7-day holiday may have only used half of its power. In fact, the power reserve of the Blancpain long-powered tourbillon on the 12th is sufficient to support the watch to run for about 14 days. For the sake of conservativeness, it is set as the 12th. Of course, with those watches that can only run for 4 and a half days, but have to say 5 days. This is Blancpain’s low-key, no exaggeration, no impetuous, would rather say less, never say more!

   Speaking of impetuousness, the appearance of this watch is surprisingly low-key. This is not the kind of exposed art form of the Impressionist or Expressionist school. If you want to compare it, this dial design can be called Chinese freehand landscape painting. Simplicity is a mood that cannot be described by Western painting. The dial and painted Roman numeral hour scales are fired from bright fire enamel. It is also paired with Blancpain’s signature double-layer bezel and hollowed-out willow leaf hands known as the ‘first needle in the world’. They are simple and beautiful. Yan. This belongs to the spring and white snow in the design of the watch, which is subtle rather than the hustle and bustle of the plate.

   12 o’clock on the surface of the plane to make perfect flying birds, is naturally a one-minute flying tourbillon of Blancpain. The reason why it is called a flying tourbillon, I believe that my cousin who is familiar with the tourbillon mechanism has long understood it. Just as Blancpain President Mark Hayek said, the existence of a fixed tourbillon table bridge is really unsightly, making it impossible to watch the perfect operation of the tourbillon. Just like breaking the bond, you can fly freely.

   The tourbillon on which the watch is equipped is Blancpain’s largest tourbillon mechanism. It can even allow you to appreciate the full picture of the balance wheel and escapement in more detail, letting people enjoy the watch in the constant speed of the tourbillon. ‘Tick’ operation.

   Through the sapphire back, in addition to the exquisite mechanical structure, the shape of the oscillating weight is more eye-catching. The design of openwork and openwork opens up a larger space for viewing the delicate decoration of the movement’s bridge below. Blancpain cleverly expands the outer edge below the surface of the oscillating weight and extends beyond the circumference of the movement to compensate for the lost weight of the openwork and to ensure the optimization of winding efficiency. On the back of the case, there are two more worthy of play, the hub-shaped gear known as Blancpain wheel, which is unique to Blancpain, and also for marriage with Lamborghini.

   Blancpain’s traditional fine-grained pattern decoration on the bridge of the movement’s traditional movement, all use hand-carved noose pattern, lightly turn the watch, the beautiful light flowing between the lines, flowing light, like the poetry of vision, the dance of light and shadow.
