In recent years, due to improvement of living standards of domestic and import high-end market has started to form active. The early formation of this market, the domestic people choose a standard of high-grade form the main basis for brand awareness, therefore, the initial domestic so-called high-end replica watches are mostly some of the ads more brands. With the improvement of people's standard of appreciation, the concept of high-end watch has undergone tremendous changes. So, what is the real high-end list?
From a market perspective, the importance of the brand, of course, but most know little about world-renowned brands to domestic consumers, they are not well-known in the country, and some well-known brands are usually large-scale production of high-end watches, but occasionally produce some limited edition special watches, they are very rare, they may well be high-grade sheet; In addition, the flow of high-grade watchs and ordinary watchs of different, generally it is responsible for sales by stores, and some special high-grade cheap watches and clocks, usually to the vendor directly for customized approach; Those high-end antique watch is by auction or direct transactions between collectors manner.
From a technical point of view, high-grade sheet production process is very complicated. Some people think that high-end watch is a complex watch, this is a mistake. Indeed, there are many high-end watch is a complex watch, but the complexity of the watch is not necessarily high-end watch. A high-end watch may be a simple watch, the key lies in its production processes and materials. High-grade form often used for a number of precious metals or rare materials, exterior parts, and inlaid with high-quality, rare gems. Common materials are gold, rose gold, platinum, platinum and gold, and two-tone gold and so on, very few such rare iron meteorite with natural materials; common gems are diamonds, natural rubies and sapphires, pearls and so on. There are also some special high-grade watch, the ordinary stainless steel case, this is because the value of its internal movement is much larger than the value of those precious metals, these fake watches often accompanied by movement
The complexity of some classical institutions, such as calendar, call the score to play spring to pursue a needle stopwatch and tourbillon institutions, such watchs are often the eyes of collectors of high-grade watch. Production process is high-grade form of life, high-grade appearance of the watch items are usually crafted, beautifully decorated case the surface, often with polished and brushed, handling, and decorative hand-carved design, brand logo and text and so on; watch Precious Metals common disk made, using hand or machine carved decorative pattern. Particularly important for high-end watch movement, the movement of all parts of the surface of the grinding and polishing through the meticulous and even hand-carved, and stressed that all the details of the movement, such as the screw head to be mirror-polished, but also frequent use of blue steel processing; splint can see that the side has produced a very nice chamfer, chamfer surface uniformly smooth, mirror-polished, especially the junction of two chamfered, there must be related to the straight line; plywood surface is also decorated with scales or Geneva wave pattern decoration, movements on a set of easy to wear and tear Office also inlaid with functional and decorative gems in one; in plywood on the space, often carved gilt decoration brand logo and text.
High-end design of the watch movement also has a number of principles: generally do not use tight fit, riveting, welding and other bonding techniques, this would increase its maintainability, such as certain brands of panerai watches, the jewel bearings are used screws and adjust , escapement fork also uses screws to connect the various parts. In addition to seals, in general, do not use organic material components, such as plastics, synthetic organic materials, glue and plant materials, etc., allows the use of natural or synthetic mineral materials, such as rubies, crystal, ceramics and enamel and so on. Because the international watch industry is generally considered the aging of organic materials will degenerate life shorter, contrary to the principles of high-grade sheet handed down; high-grade structure of the watch emphasized the performance and aesthetics can not stress processing technics, therefore, high-grade watch usually flexible production line with the hand-fabrication, it is impossible to conduct large-scale, high-volume production.
In short, as a high-end watch, it must pay attention to this piece of the watch with all the details related to long-term to maintain its outstanding performance and artistic appreciation value.
