Swiss watch manufacture Zenith will soon present a new addition to its “El Primero” family of chronographs. This model, the El Primero Jumping Seconds, takes the high-precision utility of Zenith’s famously rapid balance frequency to an even greater level of operational efficiency–thanks to a central chronograph hand which completes ten precise micro-stops around the dial in each full revolution of one second. To complete this challenging elaboration for the chronograph mechanism, the Zenith design team and watchmakers had to devise a number of technical solutions, as well as make use of silicon for strategic components in the Caliber 4052 B movement to reduce energy consumption and operating stresses.

The Zenith El Primero Jumping Seconds Chronograph watch carries on the retro-inspired theme that was initiated by the Le Locle-based house at Baselworld 2009. Buyers can choose from versions in stainless steel or 18-karat rose gold, both versions with 43mm diameter cases showing a distinguished combination of brushed and polished finishes. Aside from a vintage charm and intricate craftsmanship, the handsome dials tell part of the fascinating technical story embodied in the self-winding chronograph movement. Examining the raised rehaut reveals a distinctive calibration–a mere ten divisions, rather than the typical arrangement of 60 marks. These naturally correspond to the ten exacting stops the thundering (or “foudroyante”) central chronograph hand makes during its one second revolution around the dial. Some handsome details which create visual intrigue for the  Zenith watch include the faceted hour indices, and an overlapping triad of chronograph subdials that are particularly striking in the stainless steel model thanks to a color differentiation with black, grey, and blue. The tasteful inscription “1/10th Of A Second” beneath the Zenith and El Primero dial signatures gives subtle hint to the high-performance technical qualities of the mechanism lying beneath.

A sapphire exhibition back allows a glimpse into the column-wheel governed El Primero 4052 B caliber, whose fascinating features are arguably crowned by a balance wheel moving back and forth at the famously frisky pace of 36,000 vibrations per hour–the signature frequency of all Zenith self-winding chronographs since 1969. This is in marked contrast to the majority of mechanical calibers on the market which employ balance oscillations of 18,000 vph, 21,600 vph, or often, 28,800 vph. While the classical integrated construction of this caliber and its innovative technology is most impressive, aesthetics are not wanting, either: tasteful beveling and circular graining decoration present a pleasing landscape for the eye to appreciate, one topped off with an intricately fashioned central winding rotor displaying the Zenith star logo.

Water resistance of the Zenith El Primero Jumping Seconds Chronograph watch is 100 meters, and both steel and 18K versions come fitted with sapphire crystals. The sporty yet elegant appearance of the model is well matched by rubber-lined straps in alligator leather, and a tang buckle bearing the Zenith insignia. The stainless steel Jumping Seconds Chronograph will also be offered on a stainless steel bracelet that closes securely via a triple-deployant clasp.

Today there are lots of people who are crazy about replica luxury watches. This nascent interest in replica luxury watches can be explained only by gauging into the human affair with things which are attractive, costly and rare. The doting after watches is as old as the beginning of the watches. Indeed, they were available only in a trickle to the kings, queens, popes and other rich as well as nobles. In those days they were prohibitively costly as each watch was made in a workshop by individual watch makers and a few people who were trying to learn the craft as an apprentice. Since the clientele of the ancient watches were royalty they were made with all kinds of ornate decorations in diamond and gold.

As years passed technology found newer ways of making watches at an affordable cost. In modern times with the introduction of mass production and the use of quartz movement watches became unbelievably low priced. Watches are available today for a price as low as five dollars. This is indeed the miracle of technology. However, watch making in the traditional way, using mechanical movements have been made in many parts of the world especially in Switzerland. They were more like artists working on a craft and hence extremely rare. Now everyone knows that all artifacts are costly compared to machine made products. This principle is operational in portrait painting. A camera can make a perfect copy of a person. However, the portrait of a person painted by an artist is of greater value in the long run. This is the triumph of art over technology.

Many watches, because they approached watch making as art, because they had celebrity users in the past and because of their excellent craftsmanship has become legendary. There is insatiable craving in man to be associated with legendary things like watches of great fame and glory. Patek Philippe, Omega, Rolex, Hublot, Vacheron Constantin, Zenith are only a few in this impressive galore. These watches are too costly and many people look for practical alternatives in the form of replica watches. They come with the same attractive exterior and inner strength in the machinery. Dealers like ReplicaExpert.Us are excellent suppliers of these high-end replica watches.

Roger Dubuis is no ordinary watch brand; it’s a brand that knows how to celebrate the finest things in life. This philosophy has proven to be quite successful considering the fact that a brand with such short tradition in watch manufacturing has come to be regarded today as one of the top brands in this industry, with impressive timepieces out to celebrate quality, innovation and technical performance.

        It’s not unusual for brands to choose their creative themes when designing a timepiece or even a watch collection, and over the years watches have been inspired by diving, car racing, polo, aviation and so on. This time, Roger Debuis has chosen to celebrate love, with its new timepiece called Roger Dubuis Too Much Diamond Watch, a watch especially designed for Valentine’s Day. To mark this passionate day of the year, Roger Dubuis has chosen as main color, red, the color of love and lovers.

Roger Dubuis Valentine Day Picture

        The case of the new Roger Dubuis Too Much Diamond Watch is rectangular and made of pure white gold. This watch was especially designed for women and so the design concept is one extremely elegant, feminine and sophisticated. With its diamond-adorned bezel, the new Roger Dubuis Too Much Diamond Watch surely enters the category of luxury watches, being considered the perfect timekeeping instrument disguised in the most appealing wrist accessory. This beautiful watch definitely rises to the occasion and can be the perfect gift for that one special someone in your life.

        The diamonds adornments are used for the bezel of the watch, for the lugs connecting the case with the strap, and also for the dial. The new Roger Dubuis Too Much Diamond Watch features a dial adorned with a Love specification, made out of diamonds and red rubies. The dial features two black hands indicating the hour and minutes and also the logo of the Roger Dubuis brand under the 12 o’clock position. The dial has approached a mother-of-pearl color and it matches perfectly the red strap equipping the new Roger Dubuis Too Much Diamond Watch.

        Like most of the watches introduced by Roger Dubuis as luxury watches, this one too has a very reliable self-winding movement, that can offer a generous power reserve of 48 hours, and a 50 meters water resistance. The water resistance function is rather irrelevant given the exquisiteness of the materials of this watch, as I think no woman would try diving while wearing such extravagant timepiece on her wrist.

        The new Roger Dubuis Too Much Diamond Watch is available on a red leather strap, sewn with red thread. The strap makes a beautiful match with the red heart adorned on the dial, while the white mother-of-pearl dial matches the brilliance of the diamonds.

Rhodium-plated and circular-grained, this mechanism demonstrates snailed finishing with Cotes de Geneve patterns.

All the technical secrets of the watch are housed in a steel case, treated with a black ceramic sand-blasted coating. The dimensions of the case are 38.21mm X 42.85 mm. The case is assembled with a curved sapphire crystal provided with an external and internal anti-reflective treatment. It also exposes a screw-down sapphire back.

At SIHH 2010, Vacheron Constantin was pleased to unveil its superb new series of watches to join the brand’s Metiers d’Art collection, already highly appreciated by watch connoisseurs for the unique “Les Masques” sets, inspired by tribal masks taken from different cultures of the world and initially unveiled in 2007.

The new Vacheron Constantin Metiers d’Art “La symbolique des laques” collection is devoted to a one-of-a-kind centuries-old Japanese lacquer technique called maki-e. The company will introduce just 20 exceptional sets of the limited edition collection each year.

Each set will demonstrate three signature masterpieces that will pay tribute to natural creations bearing great spiritual or symbolic importance in Japanese culture. The central section in the dial features a cutaway revealing the horological beauty of a skeletonized manually-wound movement, found on the list of the thinnest in the world.

Each watch from the Metiers d’Art La symbolique des laques watch set,  demonstrates an elegantly slender case, measuring 40mm in diameter and sculptured from white or pink gold.

The 18K gold dials depict three pairs of animals and plants: a pine tree presented with a crane, a plum tree and nightingale, and a sparrow depicted on shoots of bamboo. The artisan, responsible for the designs, sprinkles gold and silver in the form of a powder upon freshly applied lacquer originating from the Rhus verniciflua tree.

The first set of the Vacheron Constantin watches was given the name “The Three Friends of Winter.” The set, as interpreted by Japanese culture, symbolizes endurance and longevity in the face of bitter and severe conditions.

Zohiko, one of the oldest and most highly-respected companies specializing on maki-e lacquer in Japan, performs the work. It is interesting to mention that the first Zohiko shop was established in the middle of the 17th century, having gained the prestigious reputation of a highly cherished supplier of lacquered pieces of art to the Japanese Imperial Court.

The new Vacheron Constantin watches also boast a sapphire crystal exhibition case-back that allows to admire perfect and delicate craftsmanship of the 1003 SQ mechanical movement. This is a true masterpiece of mechanical miniaturization that has been completely open-worked by hand. You would actually need a jeweler’s loupe to see all the beauty of the many sophisticated decorative elements of the movement.

Vacheron Constantin’s 1003 SQ caliber, just 1.64mm tall, features elegant ruthenium finishing atop 14K white gold. The gently beating screw balance of the movement performs 18,000 oscillations per hour. The movement is crowned by the Geneva Seal hallmark that honors the movement’s meticulous decoration and architecture, reflecting the best traditions of haute horlogerie schools of Geneva. One more peculiarity of the movement is a 30-hour power reserve.

The Vacheron Constantin Metiers d’Art La symbolique des laques watches are coupled with refined saddle-stitched crocodile leather straps. The straps are equipped with ardillon buckles crafted in white or pink gold, the shape of which looks like half of a Maltese cross.

The human psychology of finding awe in the relics of yesterday’s significant events is the raison de’etre of the celebrated Romain Jerome watches. Though the watches themselves work on material salvaged from legend and lore the information we have of the watch company is somewhat scanty. We know that they are produced by a Swiss jeweler and the name of the chief executive is Yvan Arpa. Next to these it is difficult to ferret out any information on the celebrated Romain Jerome. The watches themselves are more important than the makers seem to be ethos of the company and hence the company maintains a low profile keeping the watches in the vanguard.

The timepieces are made of the DNA of famous legends. The events of the past are the inspiration and relics from the past are employed in the watch making that give life to the Romain Jerome watch as you are draping yourself with a legend.

The Titanic DNA watch is made of the salvaged wreck of the ill fated ship that sank in 1912. Romain Jerome is evoking the respect due to a relic through this series. The bezel is made of the steel brought up from a depth of 3840 meters. The hands of the watch are visual echoes of the anchor of the ship. The dial’s deep black hue is due to the use of coal from the wreck by a special process. The watches are produced in limited edition of 2012 to mark the 100th anniversary of its ill-fated first journey.

The moon Dust DNA watches employ the authentic elements of man’s space odyssey and the landing of the moon. The limited edition of 1969 watches work out many moon themes and material related to moon and space journey. Moon dust is used in the crafting of the dial. The steel of the case is made incorporating material from Apollo XI spacecraft and carbon fibers. The hands of the watch create visual impact of the solar panels of the space craft.

Romain Jerome watches have been somewhat controversial. These have fermented discussion on the brand and aided its popularity among watch enthusiasts.
