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.

Swiss Watchmakers & Co. Provides Service and Repairs for Luxury timepieces at reasonable prices.

Rolex or Omega Watch Service starts at $369 with Refinishing and Polishing

Harry Winston Withstands Mike Tyson

Sorry I haven't had time to post the last few days.

But I do have something nice to start off today.

I got a chance to visit Swiss Watchmakers & Co. 

I've gone there a few times either to have a timepiece fixed or just to see if they have a nice timepiece for me to review.

I have to admit these are very friendly and professional people, just the fact that they let me bug them while they work is very kind.

Not to mention that they share my posts on Facebook and Linkedin.

When I went they had a Harry Winston that seemed to have gone through a fight with Mike Tyson

I went back a few weeks later and they had already finished the timepiece.

A few weeks to complete a Harry Winston in mist of other repairs, that had to be some kind of record because from what I know Harry Winston takes 2+ months.

Well anyhow they told me that the client wanted full service and a matching strap.

Now the watch needed to be "cleansed" before being sent out and I couldn't touch it after that.

But I did get a shot prior to that and the timepiece looks stunning.

Well anyhow that's the first post for today I'll make a few more as the day progresses.

JLC Counters Gravity Affects, SIHH Jaeger-LeCoultre

JLC Counters Gravity Affects, SIHH Jaeger-LeCoultre 

SIHH is one of my favorite watch events.

My last few post have been about watches released at the SIHH 

This next post will be about.. yes.. another.. watch released at the SIHH

Don't worry guys I'll review watches that come in to us later.

But come on SIHH releases some of the most magnificent watches one can lay their eyes on.

But today I'll be covering 2 Jaeger-LeCoultre

We'll start with the Jaeger-LeCoultre Duomètre à Sphérotourbillon

The Spherotourbillon is part of the Duometre line, a line in which all watches use the Dual Wing concept this concept to put simply uses two power sources one for your time keeping and the other for your regulation and complication needs.

This watch will be sold in very limited quantities, 75 in platinum and an unknown amount of rose gold but it'll be limited as well as stated by Jaeger-LeCoultre CEO. 

Ok so lets explain why there is a Dual Wing concept.

In a watch when you use its features a certain amount of power is used to support them, this can affect your normal features.

Let me show another world example imagine you're on your computer it has say 8 GB and you have your platform and start up programs that use up say 3 GB (That's a lot for just a platform and startup programs I know) then you open a video editing program that uses 4.5 GB you'll notice that your operation on your basic platform might slow down, this is essentially the same for watches.

To resolve this they gave the complication and regulation its own power source so it won't affect the normal time keeping of the timepiece.

Seeing the image above of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Duomètre à Sphérotourbillon

You can see there are two mainspring sections one labeled Hours/Minutes the other labeled Regulator.

Separating the power source assures high accuracy 

But just to take it a step further in accuracy they used a dual-axis, dual cage tourbillon on a 20° incline.

The fact that it uses two axis means the tourbillon can counteract gravity in a large magnitude of positions.

To make this watch even more exact they've added a flyback seconds button at 2 o'clock which resets your seconds without stopping the watch.

 The Watch has a 382 movement which consist of 460 parts with a 50 hour power reserve.

Jaeger-LeCoultre says the following about their timepiece

"An authentic revolution in the field of Grande Complication models, the Duomètre Sphérotourbillon, stemming from almost 180 years of history and invention unique to Jaeger-LeCoultre, is equipped withan unprecedented multi-axis tourbillon. In addition to the axis of its carriage, the Sphérotourbillon has a second axis inclined at 20° and thereby freeing it from the effects of gravity in all positions. The revolutionary `Dual-Wing` concept featured in Calibre 382 once again paves the way for an original function and makes this exceptional model the first tourbillon watch that is precisely adjustable thanks to the small seconds flyback system."

The watch is beautiful and unique.

on the dial you will find two power reserve indicators.

A Date feature around the hour and minute indicator

A second indicator as well as a dual time feature.

Of course your able to see the beautiful tourbillon on the face of the watch.

Look below to see the The Rose Gold Model and White Gold Model as well as a special model that seems to have a night sky dial which I loved.

As the title suggest you can no carry a miniature planerarium on your wrist

thanks to Van Cleef & Arpels

This watch is so beautiful so mesmerizing so majestic.

The Van Cleef & Arpels Midnight Planétarium Poetic Complication

This SIHH realese features the representation of movement of 6 planets around the sun 

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are all beautifully displayed on the dial.

The movement is self winding and contains 396 components

The shooting star circulates the watch every 24 hours and is used as an hour marker.

The bezel allows you to select your own lucky day (If you can wear this beauty you're already lucky)

Using the position of the you can find out the day and month as well.

The case back is decorated with such grace its hard to imagine how much detail and time this timepiece took to make, the oscillating weight itself is decorated with a night sky.

The Watch case is 44 mm and made of rose gold and has a leather strap with a folding buckle.

The planets have the following movements and are made of the following materials.

Mercury: Rotates around the dial every approximately 88 days and is made of serpentine

Venus: Rotates around the dial every approximately 224 days and is made of chloromelanite

Earth: Rotates around the dial every approximately 365 days and is made of turquoise

Mars: Rotates around the dial every approximately 687 days and is made of red jasper

Jupiter: Rotates around the dial in almost 12 years  and is made of blue agate

Saturn:n Rotates around the dial in over 29 years and is made of sugilite

It is true to the actual planets revolution around the sun which is truly extraordinaire.

The Blue star dial goes perfectly with the rose gold casing of the watch.

The selected gems are perfect for their corresponding planets and are easy on the eyes.

The day, month and year can be set using two push buttons and viewed through two apertures on the dial.

Truly a magnificent timepiece that can be admired by everyone not only watch lovers.

Thank you all let the Holidays begin early

As the the final Quarter and holiday season Swiss Watchmakers is sought out by many people to revive their timepieces. 

In the past few years Swiss Watchmakers took the business to an online level.

We thought there are many people who are unsatisfied with amateur watch makers so lets offer them the top of the line work.

The idea came to fruition slowly as we were a bit privatized only serving dealers, jewelers, and collectors.

Many people didn't know about us.

But now we are known throughout the United States not to mention in Switzerland (We were already known in Switzerland prior to our online launch).

Normal everyday people could now get the best possible service.

This would save the time and money.

You can get the same Service from Rolex and Omega as us but they're turnaround time isn't the greatest.

Rolex and Omega also exchanged everything on your timepiece. Everything.

So if you have a new looking crystal they would still change it and charge you.

So we decided we'll offer Full Service plus parts needed to make the timepiece function perfectly,

but we decided that we would offer aesthetic parts and let the client decide if they want them or not.

Now back to the reason as to why I'm writing this.

As our online business has grown in the past years we have a very high demand on repairs.

So I'm going to make an offer to have a bit more space to breath.

Most people send in their time piece 3-4 weeks before the New Year.

This causes us to have an over abundant amount of repairs.

So I am offering a 10% Discount (Promotion Code: Holiday10) for all Holiday repairs that are sent in early November.

This is to help us serve you better and is also a Thank you for choosing Swiss Watchmakers.

It has truly been a pleasure to grow with new clients and have many heart warming experiences with many of you.

From returning a 60 year old to a grand father who thought the timepiece was irreparable, which we actually had the opportunity to skype his son while he returned the watch  to his grandfather.

A truly touching moment.

To birthday gifts, anniversary gifts, or many other special occasions.

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

Just like the new iPhone this time piece is in a league of its own it brings simplicity of art to a new level. It can do everything you need it to do in a simple design.

Apple and Patek-Philippe are at the top in their own perspective. Both making amazing pieces.

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!
