Rolex was founded by Hans Wilsdorf, who registered it as a trademark in Switzerland on 1908. In the 1920s, Rolex developed waterproof watches. 1953, Rolex introduced a diving watch specially designed for divers. Rolex watches are loved by a large number of people with their solemn, practical and unpretentious style design. The analysis of the so-called top ten watches has always been in the hearts of everyone who loves watches, but it is difficult to become a * * * knowledge, because different people have different feelings about various values, different views on things, and even different aesthetic cognition. But even so, there are still many truly advanced watch brands, which are generally recognized by the public and occupy a lofty position in the minds of many watch fans. This means that the brand has intangible value and rich connotation, and it also shows that although fans have their own subjective consciousness, they can still obtain most knowledge through objective analysis and arrange the top ten watches in their minds. Here, talk about my personal views on the top ten famous watches! Objectively judging the value of a watch brand can roughly start from the following four directions. First of all, it has a long and splendid brand history. A hundred years or so is the so-called "long time". The watch factory has experienced more than a hundred years of manual watchmaking period, and manual watchmaking can produce mechanical watches with deep value and connotation. Patek Philippe, which ranks first, leads in this respect. The brand was founded in 1839 and entered the China market in about 2005. Throughout its history of 170 years, there are innovative, complex or representative masterpieces in each period, which naturally have the highest brand value and popularity. Count, founded in 1874, has been established for nearly 140 years. After 1957 Cal.9P and 1960 Cal. 12P respectively set the world records for the thinnest manual winding and automatic winding movements in the world, the count is still naturally rewriting many historical records. (Count's ultra-thin watch series in 1960s) There is also Rolex, which was born in 1908 and became famous for its first mass-produced automatic watch. Then, it sets the standard for making diving watches with oyster shells: its classic oyster shell is carved from a whole piece of metal, and the crown is locked by a solid central part, a screw-in back cover and double buttons, which proves its firmness and reliability in extreme environments at any time, whether in the depths of the ocean or at the top of the world. So it is reasonable to rank tenth! (Rolex oyster shell diving watch) Secondly, the design should be unique, and it is best to launch a meaningful classic style series, and the products have high recognition. Without a classic appearance, a high-profile brand can not show the brand value, nor can it show the taste, status and even wealth of the wearer. For example, Langer, born in 1845, ranks second in this ranking. Brand has always been a symbol of tradition, which includes not only craft, but also shape design. Zeitwerk, launched in 2009, broke the design tradition for the first time-convincingly combining the principle of mechanical watches with modern time display forms. Just as Langer's movement engineers and designers used the motto of paul gauguin, a famous French painter, "I close my eyes and see" when exploring and delving into unknown fields. (Lange Zeitwerk Time Jumping Watch) and Cartier, ranked ninth. Since 1847 was founded, many classic watches have been introduced, such as Tank, Santos, Pasha, etc. This also adds a lot of color to the brand. Among them, the most typical tank series outlines the elegance of the watch with simple and smooth lines, which has achieved a classic masterpiece across the times and is favored by many royal nobles and celebrities. (Cartier tank watch) Another example is Count. His Altiplano watch, whether round or square, can always be made by the brand with the simplest lines and shapes, which is extremely flexible, gorgeous, amazing and highly recognizable. In fact, the Earl's advantage in design should be attributed to his rich experience and achievements in jewelry watches, which makes the Earl's watch the best-looking advanced mechanical watch, which is beyond the reach of other brands of the same level! The eighth-ranked Audemars piguet was founded in 1875, and its fish 1972 first launched the Royal Oak, a luxury sports watch made of fine steel. With its unique octagonal case, it surpassed Patek Philippe Nautilus to become the first choice for advanced sports watches, and it is also the best example of design. Royal oak has also influenced the design style of clocks and watches all over the world, and it 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, and judges the brand level from the ability to make a complete movement and the development and innovation of the movement. The seventh ranked Breguet, formerly known as 1775, entered the China market in 2007. Its achievements in the research and development of movement are also remarkable. As we all know, Mr. Breguet was the first person to make tourbillon. In addition, the 3880ST movement of Breguet XXII series is the first and only mechanical chronograph movement in the world with silicon escapement and balance spring. The frequency is increased to 10 Hz, and it vibrates 72,000 times per hour. This extremely high frequency enables Type XXII to adjust, and its chronograph second hand completes a full circle in 30 seconds. (Breguet Type XXII series watches) Jaeger-LeCoultre, founded in 1833, has masterpieces from the spherical tourbillon in 2004, the crystal spring-beating three questions in 2005, the Reverso three-sided watch in 2006, and the 3D tilting tourbillon this year! It can be called the most dazzling brand in sports development in recent years. (Jaeger-Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso, crystal spring, tourbillon) In 2005, Patek Philippe pioneered the silicon escapement wheel, which has the advantages of high hardness, high precision and no need for lubrication, and is a great achievement of the brand in the research and development of movement materials. (Patek Philippe pioneered the advanced research 5450P movement on the silicon escape wheel) Let's take a look at the Earl, which has been an authoritarian (advanced) movement since its establishment. Based on this, coupled with excellent technology, Earl designers can give full play to their creativity, create a watch with meaningful style and become the first brand of jewelry watches. Today, the count is still creating a base area, Los Angeles? Te-aux-Fées, adhering to the manual tradition, all the movements are made by it, and its movements are of high quality. We can see from the latest Cal. 1200 that another model 1208P is represented by a small second hand. First of all, as far as the external decoration of the movement is concerned, even the layman of the watch should be able to feel the texture of 1200P, which is entirely due to delicate manual thinking. Look at the closely arranged radial annular ripple on the main splint, which is more detailed and unique than the Geneva ripple of 12P. Of course, as far as the construction difficulty is concerned, it is obvious that the annular ripple is several times higher than the linear ripple. In addition, the bottom plate is closely and regularly arranged with pearl dotted lines, guide corners of clamping plates and screw holes, blue steel screws and radial decorative gears. Even the special dynamic correction system (index-assembly) above the balance wheel is specially made with the word "P" representing the brand. These details can be seen everywhere in the exquisite manual processing of the highest specifications, which naturally enhances the texture and beauty. The Earl Factory in Geneva also undertakes design, watch case making, chain band making, jewelry inlay, metalworking carving and various traditional crafts. The depth and completeness of professional production ability are beyond the reach of other brands. (Movement technology) Audemars piguet has always been highly recognized for its ultra-complex movements, such as minute repeater and automatic timer, as well as the patented escapement device that came out on 20 10. In addition, although Rolex has no complicated movement, its newly developed paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring and Paraflex shock absorber show its solid and excellent production capacity. Finally, the ability to innovate. General high-end brands are committed to the innovation of the function and structure of the movement. Born in 1735, Blancpain launched a sports watch X Fathoms in 20 1 1 year, which revolutionized many indicators of diving watches. This watch is 90 meters waterproof and has the function of recording the maximum dive depth; It uses a self-powered device and three energy storage units, and has a kinetic energy storage capacity of up to 5 days. A number of technological innovations make this watch unparalleled in the field of luxury sports watches. (Blancpain X deep pupil watch) and VacheronConstantin founded in 1775 also have to be mentioned! Based on the mask series in 2007, the brand launched the Les Universe Infinis watch by going up a flight of stairs this year. Using the unique plane mosaic chessboard mosaic technology, three themes of flying pigeon, fish and shell are drawn on the small square and then the whole panel is filled, leaving no gap in the middle. Only by matching with many exquisite handicrafts can we complete the Les Universe Infinis watch with artistic flavor and scientific and technological value. In addition, in 2006, Breguet introduced the first batch of silicon balance spring and escapement mechanism. As the advantages of this innovative material in earthquake resistance and wear resistance have been verified, Breguet has lost no time to promote and adopt it in other important watch styles. Many people regard "Sesame Chain", a traditional technology almost lost in modern times, as "a great invention with the same reputation as tourbillon institutions". (Breguet Sesame Chain tourbillon Watch) The 4th Generation Earl not only has strong innovation ability in movement, but also is full of creativity in design and appearance. For example, the magic hour diamond-encrusted women's watch whose bezel can rotate at any angle, with the rotation of various angles, the appearance of the watch is ever-changing, which can be matched with clothing and mood to fully meet the needs of women. Another example is limited Twice, a "double-sided watch", which won the "Best Women's Watch" award at the Geneva Watch Awards, breaking through the traditional double-sided matching method and showing two different personalities: dignified and lively. The latest masterpiece of the countess's watch belongs to a brand-new mysterious watch of Phoenix. This high-end jewelry watch has a unique shape, and the master's ingenuity is fully displayed. It is limited to one in the world. (Earl's magic time, limelight, phoenix riddle table) And in terms of functional innovation of the movement, the movement that Earl admires most is Cal.608P relative to tourbillon. As we all know, it is not easy to make an ultra-thin flying tourbillon, not to mention the flying tourbillon mechanism is suspended at the end of the minute hand. Tourbillon not only rotates once every minute, but also rotates once every hour with the minute hand. Its scientific and technological value is above all tourbillon models. And this innovative function, and the unique feeling it brings, is also the rare value that fans are most eager to demand. (Earl flies to tourbillon)
