Analysis of the top ten famous watches The so-called top ten famous watches will always be in the hearts of every watch lover, but it is difficult to become a common knowledge, because different people have different feelings about various values, different views on things, and even different understandings of aesthetics. Knowledge is not the same. But even so, there are still many truly high-end watch brands that are generally recognized by the public and occupy a high position in the minds of many watch fans. This means that the brand has intangible value and rich connotations. It also shows that although watch fans Each has a subjective consciousness, but most knowledge can still be obtained through objective analysis, and the top ten watches in the minds of watch fans are ranked. Here, let me briefly talk about my personal views on the top ten famous watches! To objectively judge the value of a watch brand, you can roughly start from the following four directions. First of all, the brand has a long and glorious history. About a hundred years or more is the so-called "long". Only watch factories that have been for more than a hundred years have experienced the period of manual watchmaking, and only manual watchmaking can produce mechanical watches with deep value and connotation. Patek Philippe, which ranks first, has taken the lead in this regard. The brand was founded in 1839 and entered the Chinese market in about 2005. Throughout its 170-year history, innovative, complex or representative masterpieces have been produced in each period, which naturally have the highest brand value and popularity. Piaget was founded in 1874. It has been nearly 140 years since its establishment. Since Cal.9P in 1957 and Cal.12P in 1960, respectively, setting world records for the thinnest hand-wound and automatic movements in the world, Piaget is still continuing to make products. Rewriting many historical records will naturally gain widespread public recognition and enhance the intangible value of the brand. (Piaget's ultra-thin watch series in the 1960s) There is also Rolex, which was born in 1908. It became famous for its first mass-produced automatic watch, and then set the standard for diving watch production with its Oyster case: its classic Oyster case The case is carved from a single piece of metal, with a solid central part, a screw-down case back, and a double-buckle winding crown. Whether it is in the depths of the ocean or at the top of the world, it has always proven its sturdiness in extreme environments. and reliability. Therefore, it is ranked tenth, which is reasonable! (Rolex Oyster Case Diving Watch) Secondly, the appearance design must be unique. It is best to have launched a timeless classic style series and the product is highly recognizable. If a high-profile brand does not have a classic appearance, it will not be able to show its brand value, nor will it be able to highlight the wearer's taste, status or even wealth.

For example, Lange, which was born in 1845, ranked second in this ranking. The brand has always been a symbol of tradition, not only in craftsmanship, but also in appearance design. The Zeitwerk watch, launched in 2009, changed its previous image and broke the design tradition for the first time - convincingly combining the principles of mechanical watches with modern time display forms. Just as Lange's movement engineers and designers also followed the famous French painter Paul Gauguin's creative motto when exploring and delving into unknown areas, "I close my eyes to see." (Lange Zeitwerk Time Jump Watches) There is also Cartier, which ranks ninth. Since its founding in 1847, it has launched a number of classic watches, such as Tank, Santos, Pasha... etc., which also adds a lot to the brand. Among them, the most exemplary Tank series uses simple and smooth lines to outline the elegance of the watch, creating a classic masterpiece that spans the ages and is favored by many royal families, nobles and celebrities. (Cartier Tank watch) Another example is Piaget, which ranks fourth. Whether its Altiplano watch is round or square, the brand can always use the simplest lines and shapes to create a timeless design that is extremely smart, gorgeous and stunning. , with extremely high recognition. In fact, Piaget’s advantages in design should be attributed to its rich experience and achievements in jewelry women’s watches, making Piaget watches the best-looking high-end mechanical watches, which is also unmatched by other brands of the same level as Piaget! (Piaget Altiplano watch) The eighth-ranked Audemars Piguet was founded in 1875. In 1972, it launched the Royal Oak, a luxury sports watch made of stainless steel for the first time. With its unique octagonal case, it surpassed Patek Philippe Nautilus has become the first choice for high-end sports watches and the best example of exterior design. The Royal Oak has also influenced watch design styles around the world and is still one of Audemars Piguet's masterpieces. (Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Series) The third point focuses on the inner soul of the watch - the movement. The level of the brand is judged from the ability to produce a complete movement, as well as the development and innovation of the movement. Breguet, ranked seventh, was first born in 1775 and entered the Chinese market in 2007. Its achievements in the field of movement research and development are also remarkable. As we all know, Mr. Breguet was the first person to create the tourbillon. In addition, the 3880ST movement equipped in the Breguet Type XXII series is the world's first and only mechanical chronograph movement with a silicon escapement and balance spring. The frequency has been increased to 10 Hz and vibrates 72,000 times per hour. This extremely high frequency gives the Type XXII the ability to regulate, and its chronograph seconds hand completes a full revolution in 30 seconds. (Breguet Type XXII series watches) Jaeger-LeCoultre, founded in 1833, has developed from the 2004 spherical tourbillon, the 2005 crystal minute repeater, the 2006 Reverso three-sided watch to this year’s 3D tilting tourbillon. Great works keep coming! It can be called the brand with the most dazzling achievements in movement development in recent years. (Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso three-sided watch, crystal minute repeater, spherical tourbillon) In 2005, Patek Philippe pioneered the silicon escape wheel. Its advantages of high hardness, high precision and no need for lubrication are the brand's first step in the development of movement materials. major achievements. (Advanced Research 5450P movement equipped with Patek Philippe's first silicon escape wheel) Looking at Piaget, it has been specializing in (advanced) movements since its establishment. Based on this and adding excellent technology, Piaget designers can fully express their creativity and create Producing watches with timeless and unique styles, it has become the number one brand of jewelry watches. To this day, Piaget still manufactures all its movements in La C?te-aux-Fées, its founding base, adhering to the manual tradition. The high quality of its movements can be seen from the latest model Cal. 1200, and the other model 1208P. It adds a small second hand indicator. First of all, as far as the external modification of the movement is concerned, even a layman of watches and clocks should be able to feel that the texture of 1200P is even better. This is entirely due to the delicate hand-finishing.

Look at the closely arranged radial annular corrugations on the main plywood. They are more detailed and unique than the 12P Geneva ripples. Of course, in terms of workmanship difficulty, it is obvious that the annular corrugations are several times higher than the straight corrugations; also, the closely and regularly arranged ripples on the bottom plate The pearl dot pattern, the edge chamfers of the plywood and screw holes, the blue steel screws and the radial pattern gears... etc., and even the dedicated power correction system (index-assembly) above the balance wheel, are also specially decorated with the "index-assembly" that represents the brand. Made with the word "P", the highest standards of exquisite handcrafting can be seen in many details, which naturally improves the texture and beauty. Piaget's factory in Geneva also handles design, case making, chain and strap making, jewelry inlays, metal engraving and various traditional crafts...etc. The depth and completeness of its professional production capabilities are beyond the reach of other brands. (Movement technology) Audemars Piguet has also been recognized for its movement production capabilities because it has launched a variety of ultra-complex movements such as minute repeaters and automatic timepieces, as well as the patented escapement that came out in 2010. In addition, although Rolex does not have a complex functional movement, its newly developed paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring and Paraflex shock absorber show its solid and excellent production capabilities. Finally, there is innovation ability. Generally, high-end brands are committed to the innovation of movement functions and structures. Blancpain, born in 1735, launched the X Fathoms sports watch with high profile in 2011, which revolutionized many indicators of diving watches in one fell swoop. This watch is 90 meters waterproof and has the function of recording the maximum diving depth. It uses a self-powered device and three energy storage units, and has a kinetic energy storage capacity of up to 5 days. Many technical innovations make this watch unrivaled in the field of luxury sports watches. (Blancpain X Fathoms watch) Vacheron Constantin, founded in 1775, must also be mentioned! Based on the 2007 mask series, the brand took it to the next level this year and launched the Les Univers Infinis watch, which uses a unique plane pavé checkerboard inlay technique, with three themes of flying pigeons, fish and shells drawn on small squares and then filled in. It fills the entire face plate without leaving any gaps in the middle. It uses multiple handicrafts and exquisite patterns to complete the Les Univers Infinis watch with great artistic flavor and craftsmanship value. (Vacheron Constantin Les Univers Infinis watch) In addition, in 2006, Breguet launched the first batch of silicon balance springs and escapements. As the advantages of this innovative material in terms of shock resistance and wear resistance were verified, Breguet lost no time in promoting its use in other important watch styles. Many people regard the "sesame chain", a traditional technology that has been almost lost in modern times, as "a great invention as famous as the tourbillon mechanism." (Breguet Sesame Chain Tourbillon Watch) Piaget, ranked fourth, not only has strong movement innovation capabilities, but is also creative in design and appearance. For example, the Magic Hour diamond-encrusted women's watch with a bezel that can be rotated at any angle. With the rotation at various angles, the appearance of the watch is ever-changing and can be matched with clothing and mood, fully meeting the needs of women. Another example is the "double-sided watch" Limelight Twice, which won the "Best Women's Watch" award at the Geneva Watch Awards, breaking through the traditional double-sided matching method to show two different personalities: dignified and lively. The latest masterpiece of Piaget Watch is none other than the new Phoenix Mysterious Watch. This high-end jewelry watch has a unique shape and fully demonstrates the master's ingenuity. There is only one in the world. (Piaget Magic Hour, Limelight, Phoenix Mysterious Watch) In terms of movement function innovation, Piaget’s most highly regarded Cal.608P relative tourbillon movement. As we all know, it is not easy to make an ultra-thin flying tourbillon, not to mention suspending the flying tourbillon mechanism at the end of the minute hand. In addition to one rotation per minute, the tourbillon will also rotate once per hour with the minute hand. The craftsmanship is valuable Above all tourbillon watches. Such innovative functions and the uniqueness it brings are also the rare values ??that watch fans are most eager to demand. (Piaget Flying Tourbillon)
