Let's talk about Jaeger-LeCoultre, which has always been the most dazzling brand in sports development. Players who like to study the movement should find that the movements of many high-end watches are made by Jaeger-LeCoultre. Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced the thinnest mechanical movement in the world in 1907 and the smallest mechanical movement in the world in 1929. 1928 created an air clock regarded as a "perpetual motion machine". In recent years, from the spherical tourbillon in 2004, the crystal spring in 2005, the Reverso three-sided watch in 2006, to the 3D biaxial tourbillon of 20 12, and so on, there have been many masterpieces that have caused a sensation in the clock industry. Breguet, whose most famous brand is Mr. Breguet, invented tourbillon, which can be said to be a genius of complex machinery and regarded as one of the most outstanding figures in the clock industry. Breguet's design style follows the simple design of neoclassical style and has been sought after by many historical celebrities (such as King Louis XVI of France, Tsar Alexander I, Queen Victoria of Britain and British Prime Minister Churchill). Unfortunately, in its development history, Breguet closed down for more than 65,438+000 years until it was acquired by Swiss Swatch Group. Although there are many famous series, they are a little weak in cultural inheritance, giving people the feeling that contemporary people have "borrowed" names that have appeared in history and continue to use them. Li, an awesome old Chinese doctor, studied Compendium of Materia Medica for decades, and then regarded himself as Li Shizhen.
As mentioned above, although Breguet has a very important position in the history of watchmaking, and its brand founder, Mr. Breguet, invented the tourbillon, which is crucial to the accuracy of mechanical watches, Breguet once disappeared from the historical map of watches, and modern Breguet did not have much innovation and breakthrough in technology. From the advertising words, we can also see the subtle positioning differences between the two: today's Breguet boasts innovation; ; Translation is a revolutionary innovation. The inventor of the family, translated into an inventor. The concepts of innovation and invention are different. You may think that Breguet has changed to an "inventor", but it is not. Mr. LeCoulter, the founder of Jaeger-LeCoultre, invented micrometer, which is a physical benchmark measuring instrument, and really realized the industrial batch production of watches. The history of Breguet 100 has made its contribution to the modern advanced watchmaking industry. However, in the past century, the "technical house" Jaeger-LeCoultre, which really carried out the invention from beginning to end, has been making heavy inventions since its birth. In the past ten years, every year, we have produced a super complicated watch, such as patented spherical tourbillon, biplane tourbillon, etc., and pursued the limit of advanced watchmaking crazily. Knowing those low-key inventions, you will give a reverent sigh to this brand.
In terms of design, Breguet is gentler, the products are harmonious, the visual design elements between the series are very unified, and the movement is polished more carefully. Jaeger-LeCoultre's design style is more diverse in appearance, and there is not much connection between the series, but the choices are diverse and each has its own style. However, the same series has its own unique design and movement selection. You must try it on in the shop, but you will find something that suits you.
