PATEK PHILIPPE Patek Philippe Switzerland

There are countless watch brands, and Patek Philippe is the first. Speaking of Patek Philippe, I have to mention Mr. Zhong Yonglin, who ranked first among the top ten watches in the "Watch Forum" that year, which set off a boom in Patek Philippe in China. In fact, before Mr. Chung ranked, Patek Philippe had already established an unshakable position. In its heyday, Patek Philippe even felt that there were too many brands that had received the Poinçon de Genève, so they set up their own Point of Patek Philippe to set a higher standard. Patek Philippe's status can also be seen from the price. Although there are different accounts of the highest-priced watches sold at auction in history, they are all from Patek Philippe. The more widely recognized are the Ref. 1415HU platinum, which sold for 6.6 million Swiss francs in Antigulen Geneva in 2002, the 1527 at Christie's for 6.25 million Swiss francs in 2010, although it seems to be lower than the 1415, but the latter is more expensive when converted into US dollars at the exchange rate at the time, and the most expensive watch in history is the 175th anniversary complication Ref. 5175 released by Patek Philippe, priced at about 2.5 million Swiss francs. In addition, the most expensive pocket watch in history is Patek Filip...

Audemars Piguet Switzerland

Audemars Piguet, like Patek Philippe, is still one of the few independent watchmaking brands to this day, and Audemars Piguet is the result of a combination of the names of its founders, Jules-Louis Audemars and Edward-Auguste Piguet. Founded in 1875, Audemars was able to produce perpetual calendar pocket watches in 1882, and in 1889, at the 10th Universal Watch Exhibition in Paris, Audemars Piguet Grande Complication pocket watches were exhibited, equipped with minute repeaters, two-hand timers and a perpetual calendar function, thus establishing its position as a manufacturer of high-end complication watches. In 1892, Audemars Piguet introduced the first minute repeater in the history of horology. In 1955, the world's first perpetual calendar watch series with a leap year display was produced. Audemars Piguet was one of the few manufactures to survive the quartz crisis of the '70s, and in 1972 it launched the Royal Oak collection, a pioneer in high-end sports watches made stainless steel, and the Nautilus, the Ingenieur series from all over the world were all rising stars. Royal Oak is Audemars Piguet's top card, that's true, but it's not right to think that Audemars Piguet only has Royal Oak. Since the thirties, Audemars Piguet has been...

Vacheron Constantin Vacheron Constantin Switzerland

In 1755, Jean-Marc Vacheron established his studio in Geneva, and by 1819, Franois Constantin, in collaboration with Jean-Marc Vacheron's descendants, founded Vacheron Constantin. The now known Maltese cross trademark was registered in 1880. If you count the year 1755, Vacheron Constantin is arguably the oldest watchmaker and, more importantly, has never interrupted production. King Farouk of Egypt, King of Iran, Duke of Windsor, Harry Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Henry Graves and other celebrities were once fans of Vacheron Constantin. In 1996, he joined the Richemont Group and, like A. Lange & Söhne, became the top watch brand within the Richemont Group. Vacheron Constantin now produces around 20,000 pieces a year, and detailed information is stored on models from 1840 onwards. As for the Poinçon de Genève, Vacheron Constantin is also a player who abides by the rules of the game, and despite the increasingly stringent requirements of the Poinçon de Genève, 75% of Vacheron Constantin's watches still receive the Poinçon de Genève. Vacheron Constantin's selling point is elegance and classicism, but neither of these aspects is inferior to Patek Philippe, and at Vincent Kaufmann he was the Vacheron Constantin ...

Jaeger-LeCoultre Switzerland

Jaeger-LeCoultre's in-house movements can be hung on a wall. Jaeger-LeCoultre's predecessor was the LECOULTRE BORGEAUD CIE, founded by Antoine LeCoultre, and from 1860 to 1900 it produced 350 different movements, more than half of which were complications. In 1903, Antoine LeCoultre's grandson, Jacques-David LeCoultre, collaborated with Edmond Jaeger from Paris to launch the LeCoultre 145 ultra-thin movement, Reverso and other classic models. IN 1931, THE TWO BRANDS OFFICIALLY MERGED AND JAEGER-LECOULTRE WAS BORN. Even before Richemont bought Jaeger-LeCoultre, Jaeger-LeCoultre had supplied movements to several Manufactures, including Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin and A. Lange & Söhne. After joining Richemont, he took on the role of R&D center, designing the Cal.8000 base calibre for Cartier and assisting Panerai in the development of the in-house movement. Jaeger-LeCoultre itself is also a benchmark in terms of complications, with the launch of the Reverso in 2006 and a total of 18 complications on all three sides, the Duometre in 2007 that separates the power of the timekeeping and complications, the Extreme Lab with six patents, and the 2009 Grand Sonnerie that directly challenged the ultimate complication...

A.Lange&Sohne 朗格 Germany

There are many German watch brands, and the number one is definitely A. Lange & Söhne. The well-known features of the German watch: the three-quarter plate, the gold chatons and the gooseneck fine-tuner were all invented by A. Lange & Söhne. Ferdinando Adolf Lange & Söhne, the founder of Adolphe Lange & Söhne, first studied watchmaking in Switzerland before returning to Glashütte and three other watchmakers to establish Glashütte as a centre for precision watchmaking. During World War II, the Soviet Union bombed the small town of Glashütte, destroying the Lange factory, and after World War II, Lange was confiscated by the East German government, and has been silent for 40 years. It was not until 1990 that Walter Lange registered the new A. Lange & Söhne company, in which the LMH Group owned 90 percent of the shares, while A. Lange & Söhne owned only 10 percent, and IWC Jaeger-LeCoultre, a subsidiary of LH, provided training and technical support for A. Lange & Söhne. In 2000, Richemont acquired LMH, and in 2003 it bought the last shares in the Lange family. The revival of A. Lange & Söhne was led by Walter Lange, but the soul was Gnter Blmlein, who during the Gnter period was highly regarded in the industry. In addition to Jaeger-LeCoultre and IWC, the giant Papi Studios has also made a great contribution to the revival of Lange & Söhne.

BLANCPAIN Switzerland

Founded in 1735, Blancpain is the oldest watch brand in the world according to the Swiss official public property register, but it really started in the 20th century, in 1953. The French admiral commissioned Blancto to create watches capable of diving to 50 fathoms (equivalent to 91.45 meters), these watches have the functions of modern professional diver's watches, in the beginning, 50 fathoms using radium luminous, even after decades of testing, the radiation is still explosive, and then switched to tritium luminous, avoiding radiation problems, successively adopted by the United States and German navies, 50 fathoms is currently one of Blanchit's most important product lines. Blancpain claims to only make mechanical watches, not quartz watches; Only round tables, no square tables. In fact, there is a story behind this, when the quartz crisis came, the Blancpain brand had already died, at that time, in order to resist Seiko, a number of Swiss brands were working together to develop the quartz movement Beta21, and Blancpain had no technology or funds, and of course it was impossible to participate in the development. It was not until 1982, when Jean-Claude Biver bought Blancpain for 18,200 yuan, that the process of resurrection began, with the slogan of insisting on not making quartz watches. Arrive...

Glashütte Original Germany

The controversy between Lange and Söhne over who is authentic has always been a topic of interest for cousins. After the bombing of Dresden in 1945, many watchmakers in Glashütte fled to West Germany, including Walter Lange, an apprentice who had just graduated from the watchmaking school, and it was not until 1976 that he returned to Glashütte and risked some of the drawings from his uncle Otto's belongings, which became the basis for Walter Lange and his 1990 relaunch of the Lange brand. After the end of World War II, the East German government brought together watchmakers in the town of Glashütte to form the Glashutter Uhrenbetriebe (GUB). It can be said that the century-old Glashütte watchmaking has been preserved in the town of Glashütte in its entirety in terms of talents, equipment and materials, and was finally merged into the GUB to continue to this day. In 1994, The Glashtte Uhrenbetries GmbH was acquired by a consortium as a privately owned company under the product trademark Glashütte Original, and in 2000 it was acquired by the Swatch Group. Glashütte Original directly inherits the historical accumulation of GUB, and the entire industrial chain from the case to the movement can be completed independently, and more importantly, in addition to...

Count of Piaget Switzerland

In the race for ultra-thin watches, Piaget and Jaeger-LeCoultre have been on a par for 50 years. The Piaget ateliers were founded in 1874, but it was not until 1943 that the Maison began to manufacture and sell watches under the brand's name, and became famous for its ultra-thin movements. In 1957, Piaget launched the 9P hand-wound calibre, which was only 2 mm thick, and the industry also set off a wave of ultra-thinness. In 1960, Piaget released the 12P calibre, which became the world's thinnest self-winding movement with a thickness of 2.3 mm. In 1988, Piaget decided to create a collection with ultra-thin movements, and Altiplano was born. Since its inception, new products have been introduced, including the 2.1mm 430P movement, the 2.5mm 830P movement, and the 3.5mm 600P tourbillon movement. In 2014, Piaget released the 900P ultra-thin watch, with a thickness of 3.65mm, breaking the 4mm limit for the first time, and 1mm thinner than Swatch's ultra-thin quartz watch Skin. Usually a watch is composed of a case, a dial, and a movement, but 900P puts all three on the same plane, using the case as the base plate, and the dial makes an eccentric design, and the other space on the same plane is given to the movement, 145 parts...

Breguet Switzerland

The tourbillon was invented by the Breguet team, and a simple sentence is enough to illustrate Breguet's status in the industry. In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, almost all of France's political elites were Breguet's clients, including Louis XVI and Napoleon. After the death of Mr. Breguet, Breguet changed hands several times until 1999, when it was acquired by Swatch, and after Hayek's creation, Breguet is now Swatch's most high-end watch brand and has achieved a revival in modern watchmaking. There is a phenomenon in the watch industry, that is, as long as there is a Breguet word and a Breguet needle, it is a guarantee of sales. Invented by Breguet in 1783, the Breguet hand is made of yellow gold or blued steel, and is thought to be shaped like an apple or a moon. Because of its beautiful shape and easy to read, it has been widely used by major watchmakers today and has become a generation of classics. The Breguet lettering comes from a Breguet pocket watch from 1783, which is hand-drawn and has a full, slightly slanted font, and has been used by Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin because of its aesthetic design. Breguet also has other famous logos, such as the coin-like vertical pattern on the edge of the case, the silver-plated dial, which makes people know that it is Breguet as soon as you raise your hand...

Girard Perregaux Switzerland

Founded in 1791, Girard-Perregaux is one of the oldest Swiss Haute Horlogerie brands and, above all, has never stopped producing in its long history. Girard-Perregaux, now part of the Kering Group, is one of the few watchmakers capable of mastering all the technologies and tools, from design to production, including the development of movements, rather than simply a watch brand. For more than two centuries, Girard-Perregaux has produced many outstanding designs and has been granted more than 80 technical patents, the most famous of which is the Sanjinqiao. At the 1889 Paris Exposition Universelle, Girard-Perregaux presented the Tourbillon with Three Golden Bridges, which won the Gold Medal, and after 1889 Girard-Perregaux was awarded a permanent jury, so after 1901 the Tourbillon with Three Golden Bridges was no longer allowed to participate. The Sanjin Bridge was not designed rashly, at first it was just to change the traditional tourbillon structure, and then it was added to the Double Gold Bridge, and finally it was finalized as the Sanjin Bridge, which was patented in the United States in 1884, and the reason why it is called the Sanjin Bridge is because the three splints have indeed used gold materials, and now they have tried more other precious metals. In 2016, on the occasion of its 225th anniversary, Girard-Perregaux launched...

Cartier France

Cartier is definitely a controversial brand in the watch world, the marketing is very good, and the products look very good, whether they are high-end or entry-level. However, the polarization in the movement is also an objective fact, and it is not uncommon for men to wear women's cores and 100,000 square watches to round cores, and in this regard, Fran Muller uses roadside quartz movements for more than 100,000 models. In 2014, Cartier was deeply involved in the quality door, and many consumers complained about Cartier's after-sales service, saying that it was difficult to protect rights, and it was difficult to completely avoid the failure of mechanical watches, so after-sales service was also considered. But always stick to the watch, in the past, Cartier was able to be selected in the first class, with the Poinçon de Genève model, Cartier's CPCP series in the 90s was also famous all over the world, but most of the movements came from Piaget. Nowadays, the classification and grading no longer have much reference value, and there are high-end Rotonde de Cartier minute repeater tourbillons, mystery tourbillons, and mystery needles as technical responsibilities. Although the blue balloon is young, its appearance is remarkable.

Ulysse Nardin Athens Switzerland

From the period of the chronometer's nautical pocket watch to the revival of mechanical watches, Ulysse Nardin has become a first-class manufacturer thanks to its technological research and development and complications, especially enamel technology.
