This Watch Uses Liquid To Tell You Time!!!

HYT H2

As the title states there is a watch that tells you time using a liquid.

Watch a video of the timepiece below.

The liquid seems to come in 3 colors.

A lime green, sea blue and bright red.

The interesting thing about this timepiece is that it actually uses 2 liquids.

Water Based and Oil. Based Liquid

8 days Power Reserve

This brand is actually a co-op between Hydro and Audemars Piguet Papi

They have designed the timepiece to look like an engine and have done so beautifully.

The timepiece uses the liquid to display hours and has a sapphire display for the minutes and a normal hand.

The timepiece uses a retrograde for the hours as well which is very nice considering it uses liquid to do so.

It also has a temperature feature which tells you the temperature of the liquid.

The timepiece now has 19 different references and will be available world wide.

Optic Marvel

Harry Winston Opus 11

Today I am writing about the Harry Winston Opus 11! It definitely has one of the most unique watch displays that I've seen so far.

The Opus 11 is limited edition with only 111 in the world.

The case, available in white gold, surrounds a sapphire-crystal dome.

The watch reminds me of a phoropter, the instrument used by an eye physician to check your vision.

The main circle (above) is where the hour is displayed with the peculiar, yet amazing arrangement.

The number in the middle of the hour circle gets reassembled every hour, then remains still for the next 60 minutes. 

There are 24 placards, that move and rotate to display the number in the center.

The top right circle (above) displays the minutes on a jumping disk for the tens place and a running disk for the individual units. An indicator points at the current time.

The bottom right circle (above) shows the beat of a big titanium balance-wheel.

The Opus 11 includes:

24 conical pinions

155 jewels 

566 components

The power reserve lasts for 48 hours until the crown on the top left corner has to be wound again.

The Opus 11 looks wonderful paired with a black leather strap.

Here is a video on YouTube of the Opus 11 that I stumbled upon:

The way the numbers rotate and assemble is completely ingenious!

Now This Is A Complication

Frank Muller Aeternitas Mega 4

With 36 complications the Franck Muller Aeternitas Mega 4 is one of the most complex timepieces ever.

This stunning timepiece has 25 complications visible.

This timepiece has a monstrous 1,483 components with 99 Jewels.

Arguably the most complicated wrist watch ever made this timepiece fetches a price of 2.7 million USD

Calibre FM 3480 QPSE

Frank Muller

"Mechanic Tourbillon, Carillon Westminster on 4 hammers and 4 gongs, Chronograph with fly-back mechanism and only one push-piece, Perpetual Calendar Secular, Equation of time, Two additional time zones, Automatic self-winding mechanism for the movement and the Westminster carillon."

This movement measures 34.4 mm x 41.4 mm x 13.65 mm

Which might seem large but taking count of sheer amount of components and complications is actually small.

This amazing Movement also has a power reserve of 3 days/strike 24 hours.

18,000 VPH

You can see this timepiece in 3 different models below!

Heres a bit more on what Frank Muller has to say about this outstanding timepiece

AETERNITAS MEGA 4

"The Aeternitas Mega – the most complicated wrist-watch - is the pinnacle of success in the art of watch-making in terms of complexity and complications. A grandiose work of art culminating in the design of the most complex wrist-watch ever made in the world thanks to the multifaceted skills of our watch-makers and constructors. Each of the 1,483 components was designed to give the watch an elegant design in the pure traditions of the old “cadraturiers” of the Vallée de Joux, Switzerland. This watch inspires countless emotions and make it simply unique in the eyes of lovers in the art of fine mechanics and luxury watch making.

From the very beginning, the Mega was incorporated into the Aeternitas project and is, indeed, the culmination of this project. The Aeternitas Mega 4 is the only “Grand Sonnerie” time-keeper in which the Tourbillon is visible on the dial side, which limits the space available for the “Grand Sonnerie” mechanism and thus makes the design even more complicated.

The glass sapphire case back enables the harmoniously chiselled and decorated pieces that overlap to be admired in a stunning combination as a dazzling ballet. This masterpiece was entirely designed and manufactured by the Franck Muller group and once again demonstrates their vast array of skills and ability in the Art of Haute Horlogerie."

As you can see they have a lot to say about their timepiece and who wouldn't this timepiece is truly a milestone in Frank Mullers great history.

Vacheron Constantin

"These are truly works of art that demonstrate the talent and outstanding expertise of the company's  master craftsmen over the years."

I wrote another blog about this collection previous that you can go read

Another artful collection

I am very fond of this collection because it takes many things into count.

History, culture, living , and many other things.

Not to mention the way they integrate it into their timepiece to make something completely new.

Vacheron Constantin Shows Us The Beauty Of Skeleton Movements

Another SIHH watch this one is from Vacheron Constantin

Before I go on I must admit I am very fond of skeleton movements.

But this one is truly eye catching.

                 Vacheron Constantin MÉTIERS D'ART 

This skeleton movement features Roman Numerals in a very extravagant fashion.

It comes with an external ring which can be either Black,Grey, or Blue; Which are made of Grand Feu opaque enameled 

The Movement has been detailed by hand it is a caliber 4400 SQ and is only 2.8 mm thick and 

consist of 127 parts with 21 jewels.

It produces 28,800 Vibrations per hour and has a power reserve of about 65 hours.

The casing is only 7.5 mm thick and has a diameter of 40 mm and is made of 18k white gold

It comes with an alligator Mississippiensis strap with an 18k white gold buckle.

The watch is water resistant up to about 30 meters.

 If viewing the front of the movement wasn't enough for you no worries, it has a see-through sapphire crystal.

The detail that went to this timepiece is exceptional.

It was hand engraved with such detail its hard to imagine how much time and how delicate it must have been.

 All 3 colors of this model are spectacular and very flashy.

This timepiece tells hours and minutes and you can see every part in the movement bring those actions to live.

Vacheron Constantin truly did great work with this skeleton movement and have made into a piece of art that you can wear and admire on your wrist.

Thinnest Mechanical Watch by Piaget

Piaguet have revealed the thinnest mechanical movement today at the SIHH 2014

How thin you ask? 3.65 mm thin!

 How thin is that? Well grab 2 Quarters and stack them you have about 3.65 mm. 

That is outrageously thin.

The Altiplano 38 mm  900P now holds the title of thinnest mechanical watch taking it away from Jaeger-LeCoultre that made a watch 4.05 mm thin

The Altiplano 38 mm 900P features 145 parts

What makes this timepiece really interesting is that the case and movement are one, the movement can't be removed from the casing the case-back itself is the baseplate.

The Watch will cost you about 30k USD 

18k white gold case and a black alligator strap

The Watch has a power reserve of 48 hours

I do love the visibility of the movement in this timepeice

the fact that it's also only 38 mm is outstanding for its thinnest and in my opinion its a perfect wrist size.

The white gold casing goes perfectly with the dial as well as the black alligator strap.

Watch Repairs

Today I'll be sharing a few repairs with you one that I fell in love with

A nice Rolex and its Date indicator that is in for service. You can see it with its date indicator removed below it also shows the beautiful black dial.

As we continue you can see more and more of the Rolex parts, I honestly enjoy just seeing every little part and envisioning  how when all put together each part works with one another to keep accurate time and show you your date all in a classy style.

  The next repair displayed below is an IWC that I fell in love with. To be specific I fell in love with the dial.The way the hour indicators are shown is simply mesmerizing indicating your year and month on it/perpetual calendar. 7 day Power Reserve and of course the moon phase that is very flashy

Apple and Watches?

Today at the workshop it was all about Apple's and watches.

Not edible apples but the new Apple Iphones

Questions flew around about the new Iphones and watches were being repaired.

Apple and watches, watches and Apple.

Soon we'll be repairing Apple watches the iWatch (which actually might end up being a tv)

But no seriously Apple might be a luxury brand but it isn't quite the same as the art that luxury watch brands can bring to the table.

Just take a look at this beautiful timepiece.

"It is the most impressive watch in the industry the craftsmanship quality the design is very simple they've been making the watch for 30 years as far as the quality of the parts there is nothing better it's always a privileged to work on these watches, they are truly beautiful pieces"- Patrick Desbiolles

Speake-Marin

This watch came to us a while ago but I had a few images of the watch and I wanted to share it with you.
It's a Speake-Marin
Simple and eye opening.
I can't show you the completed watch as it has been sent out.

            Swiss Watchmakers has been serving fine time pieces since 2000

 Here you can see the Speake-Marin dissembled.
Speake-Marin is just as old as our company being established in 2000 by Peter Speake-Marin. A very talented watchmaker that has collaborated with Harry Winston to produce the Excenter Tourbillion

 Pay great attention to its design as its very different from most time pieces. It has a simple movement and yet it has an eye opening design.


This watch comes with a simple hour minute marker on a small dial that has what I would call high visibility, no abstractions no diamonds shining so bright you can't tell the time. Simple and right to the point.

This time piece comes equipped with a power reserve indicator. This time piece has an amazing 110 hours of power reserve. 

I love the hands on the back for the power reserve indicator. It has a snake way look to it and it looks great it would be nice to have the hands as hour minute indicators but I still enjoy the original hands.

Swiss Watchmakers is licensed and certified by Omega and Rolex equipped with all the right equipment including many other brands.

Ulysse Nardin Sonata

Today a Ulysse Nardin Sonata was being re-cased and examined. This being one of my all time favorite watches of all time I had to get a few quick snaps.

Automatic, Dual Time Zone, Alarm, Date.

This Watch is extraordinaire.
It has a very distinct look. With big tear shaped hands and alarm timer (It tells you how long until your alarm sounds perfect for everyone who has to count how many hours they can squeeze in of sleep or something actually productive).

This watch is worth around $45,000 USD
Came in to be polished and examined and oh was it examined! I stared at the watch and just starred at it. Could it be the tear drop hands or the stunning white gold case, maybe it was the alarm and its lovely melody. 

 But this watch had me fall in love. This time piece is what you can call an all in one time piece. It's an automatic movement which indicated the Date is also a Dual time zone with an alarm! Did I mention the alarm has a count down?  Not only that but Ulysse Nardin sure knows a thing or two about fashion the look of the watch is bold, outspoken, different yet with a classic look to it. I'll let you enjoy the rest of pictures and don't forget to like us on facebook!
