The  front sapphire crystal is  no longer smoked  its offers a  better view  of the  gears , that have now  been  new  with an  all new circus cleaner .The irst was  an  item to be sold  only as  one  piece unique to he  basel world 2013.As the auction came  on and  the colour  level the even tenfold  to show some  of Christophe clarets  work s the  auctions  strat as  it goes to the highest bidder .But  a lot  of  people  ask him why pinball  well if you noticed  I thought  of  it  as  like a  evolved baccarat table  the sam type of table that Christophe claret had  been gaming around with  just as it all evolved from the  original Blackjack 21 watch  when he  brought  out more for the future as said and  noted.

The front sapphire crystal of the watch is  no longer and the theme is  sneakily done  in orange and blue contrasting well with one another .he was  supporting  children charity with the sale  o the watch which brought  a little smile to my  eyes only to love  his works a  little  more than before. The sides where the  ball moves  in and  out  with the 2 metal cages magnetically lumed  by a  magnetic strip which pumps  in the  ball back and forth .The  original includes the sapphire barrel with the  balls  inside the tubes  this  one  It did not .The  balls  can be  jerked free only to reattach to the magnetic srips this  therefore made the whole environment  affected  by the  movement and the  coesion  of the  mechanical watches  movement  which then was a another hurdle Christophe claret overcame.

intro to some watch movements

                     watch movement in modern watches

Watch movements are the brain and heart of a watch. Some work mechanically and others through a combination of electronic and mechanical parts. Once, many movements were mechanical and repaired by horologists and watchmakers with parts that we supply. Now, with the availability of low cost and good quality electronic watch movements, many watchmakers started to retrofit watches: they would replace mechanical watch movements with the new quartz watch movements. Movements can be fit into just about any watch, and Esslingen has the exact movements to replace many popular brand name watch movements with a minimum of effort.

Watch movements are incredibly small and are oftentimes quite delicate. You should always handle them carefully to avoid damaging the small moving or electronic parts. If you are going to be changing watch movements, it is recommended that you get some sort of training, or start out working on watches that are not valuable. Replacing watch movements requires careful handling of the movement and lots of practice. We have all the parts you need to help make retrofitting watch movements easier like: movement holders, watch dial spots, and stem extenders, to fit many common watch movement models.

69, an erotic year

Opting for words rather than a hidden automaton, the RM 69 Erotic Tourbillon plays on the desire to openly express passion and sensuality. Love and eroticism are clearly conveyed thanks to an unusual device named “Oracle”. The new Richard Mille horological complication is a mechanism that triggers the rotation of three engraved square cylinder rollers in grade 5 titanium, thereby creating a random statement. It can be activated on demand by pressing the push-button at 10 o’clock and thereby displaying the watch owner’s desire. To facilitate reading of the statement, a pusher at 8 o’clock serves to momentarily retract the hours and minutes hands. The Oracle mechanism occupies the entire upper part of the case, which meant that the 505-part movement had to be entirely redesigned in a more compact way. Developed in cooperation with Audemars Piquet Renaud & Papa, this unique construction makes it possible to line up the tourbillon and the barrel along the same axis. In another nod to the erotic theme of this model, the Richard Mille watchmakers have endowed it with an unusual 69-hour power reserve… This 30-piece limited edition is available exclusively from the 24 Richard Mille boutiques around the world.

urwerk UR105TA

                    INTRODUCING THE MECHANICAL URWERK UR 105TA

It has been 18 years when the first of Urwerk’s iconic satellite indication watches appeared. At that time it must have been weird-looking at a new way of telling time but come to think about it, according to the owners of Urwerk watches, it gets so much easier. Like it or not, we all envy how Urwerk successfully changed the playing field from standard watches to out-of-this-world looking watches. It’s practically easy to say that URWERK is of an alien origin but who cares, as long as it looks crazy cool and performs crazy good, it’s a hell of a watch to have. Without further ado, let me introduce you to the new Urwerk UR–105 TA sporting an automatic winding movement compared to its manually-wound predecessor, the UR–105M. If you care about the difference between these two movements, it has all to do with Urwerk’s proprietary Turbine system which to the naked eye is an oscillating rotor connected to a set of turbines that gyrates with the rotor; it’s quite cool looking at the movement which is a way for Urwerk to show-off their mechanical prowess.

UR-105 TA RG

The case comes in different designs; UR–105 TA RG – black PVD titanium case, red-gold bezel, UR–105 TA “All Black” – black PVD titanium case, black PVD steel bezel, UR–105 TA “Black Lemon” – titanium case, black PVD steel bezel, and UR–105 TA ”Black Orange” – titanium case, black PVD steel bezel.

UR-105 TA “All Black”

Personally, I like the “all black” version where the titanium feel really stands out. The size is not that different compared to other standard watches, it comes in 39.50mm x 53mm x 16.80mm. Personally, it doesn’t appear to be bigger than most watches but the dial’s shape kinda looks like an alien device for all I care.

UR-105 TA “Black Lemon”

The dial is covered by a custom shaped Sapphire Crystal and it looks really nice when blended with the rest of the case. Oh and there is a bezel alright and of course lugs too, same old technology but unique presentation. The UR–105TA displays the time with hours and seconds in its satellite inspired presentation. It appears harder to get used to but I think if you use it in a day or two, you can easily get the hang of it.

UR-105 TA” Black Orange”

Placed at the traditional 12 o’clock is the big crown, it looks kinda big but totally blends in with the overall design. If you wonder about the dial’s materials, they’re made of top-notch metals — the Satellite hours are driven by Geneva that crosses in beryllium bronze, there’s the Orbital structure of PEEK (polyetheretherketone), and the Carrousel and triple main plates in ARCAP.

The new introduction of course comes with the new double turbine regulated Caliber 5.02 UR automatic winding movement. It has a power reserve of 48 hours and has 52 Jewels. The winding mode can be manually selected just behind the case when you want the watch to experience some “serious movement” and potential shock. The case back may not be fully see through but it looks cool and the twin turbines are lovely to look at. Oh and the straps are sporty too! Overall, the new Urwerk is really tough to beat. For more info, please visit urwerk.com

Ive fancied such a watch in such a short time  my view is  nothing  more than simplicity , why wont they make  engines this way it would  be  more sound .nevermind the chatter the watches are  space age and  like a  lamborgini for your wrists far as I concerned.keep it uo urwerk that's my two cents.

 

Piaget Altiplano 900D Hands-On: World’s Thinnest Mechanical Jewelry Watch

 

In 2013 Piaget released the 3.65mm thick Altiplano 900P making it the world's thinnest manually-wound watch ever. It is so thin that the backplate of the movement is also the caseback. I don't really think anyone will be able to appreciably decrease this minuscule size anytime soon. So what did Piaget do for 2016? Jewelry watch lovers, feast your eyes on the Piaget Altiplano 900D - the thinnest manually-wound mechanical watch with a case and dial covered in diamonds. Ultra-thin "haute joaillerie" has never looked better as the Altiplano 900P is transformed with 304 diamonds into the impressive Altiplano 900D.

The good news is that the watch is still very thin, and for the most part, has the same look and feel as the 900P (hands-on here). The bad news is that, of course, some extra thickness is necessary, but it really isn't much. Even at the new "thicker" size of 5.65mm thick the 900D is still thinner that most of the competition. Really, the only difference visually is that now the case doesn't look thinner than the strap, and it also doesn't look like a coin with attached straps.

One of the coolest things about the 900D, is just how many diamonds and how many places Piaget found to put diamonds. If you are the type of person who tends to be in the market for high-jewelry watches, then the Altiplano 900D is going to be hard to resist. The 18k white-gold case is given an extra bezel structure which is set with baguette-cut diamonds, while the rest of the case sides and lugs are set with round-cut diamonds. For the size, it is really a brilliant exercise in gem-setting.

Of course, it would not be a 900D ("D" for diamonds!) if the dial were not also set with diamonds. The trick here, is that the dial is also mostly the movement with a section for the off-centered dial for the time. Dial or movement, all of it is set with either baguette or round-cut diamonds. Even the screws are set with diamonds, and even if you aren't a precious stone lover you have to appreciate the clever effort that went into transforming the thinnest mechanical watch in the world into the thinnest high-jewelry manually-wound mechanical watch.

The Piaget Altiplano 900D watch doesn't have a separate designation for the movement, because if you'll recall, watch and movement are quite literally merged. The movement is built on the caseback as the backplate and together they are comprised of 145 parts. The movement operates at 3Hz (21,600 bph) and has a power reserve of 48 hours indicating just the time with hours and minutes. On the dial, you can view the oscillating balance wheel as well as the gear train and much of the mainspring barrel.

At 38mm wide, the Altiplano 900D wears well as a dress watch. The black hands are remarkably legible, especially because the dial for the time is highlighted with the ring of baguette-cut diamonds. I would have loved a bit more demarcation for the hour markers, but for a watch like this, why complain about something like that? In total, the 900D case and dial contain 5.77 carats of diamond stones.

The extra 2mm of thickness compared to the 900P without diamonds is a small sacrifice to make in exchange for this fascinating jewelry watch creation. It would not have been reasonable to expect this type of gem setting with much less extra space, and, in person, the watch doesn't really feel that much thicker even though it is a thicker watch that is a super slim counter-part. Attached to the Piaget reference G0A41122 Altiplano 900D is a black alligator strap and the price for this non-limited edition model is $165,000.

I hope  you enjoyed this  little article  as I found  it amazing  to know  so much more  about piaget  myself.

very best tehanks to all those  whom helped in creation  of this article.
