Una pieza de tu tiempo: ¿Qué significa regalarle un reloj a una mujer?

Una pieza de tu tiempo: ¿Qué significa regalarle un reloj a una mujer?

Desde el siglo XVI, los relojes han sido un lujo que tiene mucho más valor sentimental que simplemente dar la hora. Hoy en día, regalar un reloj todavía tiene mucho significado. Si ese regalo es de un hombre a una mujer, es aún más significativo.

Si ha recibido uno de nuestros relojes de lujo de alta gama como regalo del hombre especial en su vida, es posible que se pregunte qué significa. Para ofrecer una idea, hemos resumido solo algunas de las maravillosas razones por las que los hombres han comprado a sus novias, prometidas o esposas un reloj Backes & Strauss.

EL REGALO DEL ESTILO

Los relojes de pulsera han sido un accesorio de moda imprescindible desde que se hicieron populares a principios del siglo XX. Tan pequeños como son, dicen mucho sobre el usuario, y los diseños clásicos pueden complementar incluso al seguidor de la moda más dedicado.

Nuestros relojes han sido diseñados para usarse durante décadas y se vinculan con los gustos cambiantes en el mundo de lo que está de moda. Cuando recibe el reloj perfecto, obtiene el resultado de pensar detenidamente en su gusto y estilo de vida específicos. Con suerte, recibirá un accesorio que complemente su estilo general y lo haga lucir mucho más fabuloso.

Ya se trate de un cronógrafo aerodinámico o de un espumoso reloj de oro rosa con una correa delicada, cada reloj Backes & Strauss tiene un carácter propio. Al igual que tú. La persona que compró su reloj habrá considerado su esencia y su reloj debe expresar esto.

THE GIFT OF PRACTICALITY

Incluso las suntuosas obras maestras artesanales con incrustaciones de diamantes que creamos son artículos utilitarios. Por muy avanzados que seamos tecnológicamente, ¡la gente todavía necesita relojes!

Es bueno mantenerse organizado, y esto significa llevar un registro del tiempo a lo largo del día. Pero como muchas mujeres pueden estar de acuerdo, no siempre es la tarea más sencilla hurgar en su bolso para encontrar su teléfono celular. Un rápido vistazo a un hermoso reloj en su muñeca es mucho más fácil y mucho más satisfactorio. Además, proporciona un recordatorio sutil pero constante de la persona especial que también le regaló su reloj.

EL REGALO DEL LUJO

No hay nada que se pueda comparar con abrir un regalo de lujo y Backes & Strauss hace que esta parte del proceso sea especialmente agradable. La suntuosidad de nuestros diseños se extiende a cómo se empaquetan nuestras piezas, ¡y nos aseguramos de que cada segundo que pase con uno de nuestros artículos cuente!

Al igual que las joyas, existe el exquisito suspenso al abrir la caja para revelar lo que hay dentro y luego la pura alegría por la belleza que encuentras. Ya sea un regalo de cumpleaños, un regalo para la temporada navideña o simplemente porque, cuando le regalas un reloj a una mujer, también le estás regalando un símbolo de opulencia y esplendor.

EL REGALO QUE SIGUE DANDO

Otra metáfora significativa que entra en juego con un reloj de regalo es la de darle tiempo a alguien. Este es un bien del que todos desearíamos tener más con los que amamos. Alta relojería pueden incluso convertirse en reliquias preciadas, transmitidas a la próxima generación de mujeres poderosas de la familia para marcar hitos importantes. En ese sentido, el fuerte valor sentimental de su reloj no tiene límite de tiempo: debe ser disfrutado por las generaciones venideras.

¡Usar su nuevo regalo puede incluso ayudarlo a llegar más a tiempo! Después de todo, te eleva y te hace lucir más pulido y profesional. Esto contribuye en gran medida a prepararlo para los desafíos que enfrenta todos los días.

EL REGALO DE UN RECORDATORIO DIARIO

No hay nada descartable en el regalo de un reloj. Después de todo, han sido cuidadosamente diseñados para usarse, usarse y disfrutarse todos los días. También son una de las únicas cosas que se pueden usar todo el tiempo y darle a alguien un reloj significa que pensarán en ti más a menudo.

Un reloj de pulsera le recordará a una mujer a la persona que se lo regaló cada vez que se lo ponga, cada vez que lo mire durante el día o la noche. Y luego, una vez más, cuando se lo quita antes de ducharse, bañarse, nadar o para descansar bien por la noche.

Para las parejas comprometidas, los relojes pueden ser un regalo poético y romántico que simboliza el tiempo que pasan juntos. Los relojes clásicos son ideales como regalo de aniversario, ya que representan el pasado, el presente y el futuro. Un hombre que te da este tipo de regalo te está comunicando la profundidad de su compromiso y su afecto permanente por ti.

Si aún no estás prometida y has recibido algo de este calibre del hombre de tu vida, casi siempre significa que está comprometido contigo. Significa la profundidad de su relación y consolida la idea de que le gustaría compartir cada segundo, minuto y hora juntos.

UN REGALO PERSONAL Y ÚNICO

Lo que hace que el reloj de pulsera perfecto sea un regalo ideal para las mujeres es el hecho de que se necesita tanto cuidado y atención para elegirlo. No solo atesorarás la excelencia artesanal que define nuestras piezas, sino también su significado personal. Te dice que el dador valora tus deseos y necesidades y profundiza tu relación con el reconocimiento de tu individualidad.

El regalo del reloj de pulsera muestra que se ha pensado mucho en el presente y que el donante está interesado en ti y quiere saber lo que te gusta. Tan complejo como es este proceso, es la simplicidad misma y es evidencia de una conexión profunda y duradera entre dos personas.

Dar algo tan personal y significativo como un reloj de pulsera Backes & Strauss requiere que el donante haga un riesgo calculado porque tiene que entenderte para comprarte algo que te encantará. Es una forma de establecer un lazo emocional aún mayor entre una pareja y se trata de que tu amado tome un papel más activo en tu vida.

Se pueden atribuir muchos significados literales y figurativos a la entrega de un reloj como regalo. Pero al final del día, depende de ti descifrar cuál es la intención detrás de esto. Sin embargo, es una suposición bastante segura que si alguien se ha tomado el tiempo para tratar de averiguar qué tipo de reloj se adapta mejor a usted y sus necesidades; ¡ha sido alcanzado por la flecha de Cupido!

Vacheron Constantin – Les Cabinotiers Grande Complication Bacchus

Vacheron Constantin – Les Cabinotiers Grande Complication Bacchus

  • This single-piece edition referring to astronomy and mythology combines engraving and gem-setting on the outside of the case.
  • Remarkable mastery of the art of craftsmanship, along with watchmaking expertise: 16 complications on a double-sided wristwatch, beating to the rhythm of in-house calibre 2755 GCC16.
  • Inspired by mythology, the decoration gracing the pink gold case takes the form of a bas-relief sculpture featuring vine leaves and clusters of grapes set with rubies in a nod to Bacchus.

Geneva, January 2022 – The single-piece edition Les Cabinotiers Grande Complication Bacchus combines Vacheron Constantin’s expertise in grand complication watches with its mastery of artistic crafts. This double-sided wristwatch comprises 16 complications, essentially astronomical and calendar-related, powered by Calibre 2755 GC16 with minute repeater and tourbillon. A technical feat housed in an 18K 5N gold case whose middle is sculpted in bas-relief. In tribute to the god of vines and wine, this “Bacchus” watch finds another source of inspiration in Johannes Kepler, resulting in a captivating association between mythology and astronomy.

The single-piece edition Les Cabinotiers Grand Complication Bacchus offers proof that the tradition of combining artistic crafts with watchmaking expertise remains alive and well within the Maison. Vacheron Constantin’s master engravers and gem-setters have worked together to make this watch an applied arts masterpiece powered by in-house Calibre 2755 GC16, whose complexity is expressed through its 16 complications. This double-sided creation dedicated to Bacchus, the Roman god of vines and wine is adorned with ruby grapes set in gold foliage hand-carved. In addition to these mythological references, the tourbillon and minute repeater movement displays virtually every astronomical and calendar-type complication a timepiece can muster. This association between the study of the stars and the divine world, between Bacchus and Johannes Kepler, makes this timepiece doubly remarkable.

Artistic crafts perform a duet

The 18K 5N pink gold case of this Les Cabinotiers timepiece features a decoration composed of vine leaves interspersed with bunches of ruby grapes. The engraver’s work is complemented by that of the gem-setter on the outside of the case in giving life to figurative motifs, making this watch a piece of fine craftsmanship. The two master artisans working on this model took turns, with the gem-setter first taking the case from the engraver’s hands and then returning it for the last finishing touches, a progressive duet-style operation that required more than 300 hours of combined dexterity.

Before embarking on such a project, an initial gem-setting test had to be performed on part of the case middle that had been prepared beforehand, so as to ensure the feasibility of the project and the various phases of its development. After putting the decoration in place using a scribing tool, the engraver began to prepare the model using the bas-relief technique that consists of creating cells or troughs by delicately “gouging” the material with a burin to make the foliage motif stand out. This preparation included the 113 recessed spaces for the five different sized rubies that form the grapes along with enough surrounding material to hold them in place. The gem-setter then took over, in successive phases, in order to set the cabochon-cut rubies using a technique combining prong and bezel setting, involving a minimum of three points of attachment.

Once the bunches of grapes had been formed, the engraver took over the model to perform the finishing, while facing the added difficulty of having to work around the gem-set parts without touching them. The vine leaves were thus delicately modelled using the intaglio engraving technique that involve hollowing out the material and then polished. And because every detail is important, the engraver took the trouble to dig slightly below the outline of each leaf so as to accentuate the 3D visual effect. This foliage thus emerges clearly against the case middle, especially as the base has been delicately chased. To achieve this sandblasted effect, the engraver hammers the surface point by point so as to enhance the contrast with the raised polished elements.

The case decoration continues on the bezel and case-back with a hand engraving depicting vine leaves. The difficulty implied by this intaglio engraving lies in the absence of a border or contour line. Hollowed out across the entire width of the bezel, the garland thus stands alone thanks to the metronomic regularity of the motif. This latter aspect is picked up on the two fastening options – folding clasp and pin buckle – accompanying the watch and which required a full week’s work in themselves.

Calibre 2755 GC16

To create the movement of this highly complicated watch, Vacheron Constantin’s watchmakers took the Tour de l’Île as a reference, a timepiece presented in 2005 as a tribute to 250 years of watchmaking expertise cultivated by the Geneva-based Manufacture. In the same spirit, the Les Cabinotiers – Bacchus timepiece combines 16 complications, making it one of the most complex watches produced by the Maison. For the sake of precision timekeeping, its manual winding Calibre 2755 GC16 is equipped with a tourbillon regulator to compensate for the effects of the earth’s gravity on the mechanism. Featuring a cage shaped like Vacheron Constantin’s signature Maltese cross emblem, the tourbillon completes one full rotation per minute, thus serving as a small seconds indicator. This watch also incorporates a minute repeater chiming the hours, quarters and minutes on demand. To avoid unnecessary noise as well as wear and tear on the mechanism, the striking of the gongs is equipped with an ingenious centripetal flying strike regulator. This perfectly silent device regulates the duration of the musical sequences so as to obtain clear, distinct and regular sounds.

The calendar and astronomical functions play a starring role on both sides of the watch. On the front, where the mechanical ballet of the tourbillon can be admired at 6 o’clock, the perpetual calendar indications are displayed on three counters. Positioned in the upper part of the dial, they respectively show the date, day and month. Designed to keep track of the Gregorian calendar’s vagaries without any need for adjustment until 2100, this horological complication is further enhanced by the indication of the leap-year cycle. The latter appears in a small aperture next to the hand indicating the torque of the minute repeater mechanism between 1 and 2 o’clock. This striking mechanism power reserve is matched by an indication of the movement power reserve, which can be read by means of a serpentine pointer coaxial with the day of the week hand.

The complex mechanics of this piece also provide an astronomical reading of time representing a tribute to Johannes Kepler (1571-1630), regarded as one of the founders of modern astronomy for having discovered the laws of planetary motion, in perfect agreement with Copernicus’ heliocentric hypotheses. The first astronomical functions thus appear on this same opaline champagne-coloured dial, starting with the equation of time positioned between 10 and 11 o’clock. As the Earth’s path around the Sun is not circular but elliptical, and since the Earth’s axis is inclined at 24° to the plane of its orbit, the time between two zenith passages of the Sun is not the same throughout the year. This difference between the (true) solar day and the (average) 24-hour civil day ranges from -16 to +14 minutes depending on the time of year and coincides only four times a year. Called the equation of time, or time correction in astronomical language, this differential is displayed by a dedicated pointer, while sunrise and sunset times – adjusted according to a reference city – appear at the bottom of the dial.

An astronomical watch as conceived by the watchmakers at Vacheron Constantin would not be complete without a sidereal time indication. This display finds its place the back of the watch in the shape of a rotating disc depicting the celestial vault with its constellations observable from the Northern hemisphere. Taking a fixed star in the sky as a reference point, the time required for the Earth to complete a full 360° rotation, or sidereal day, is exactly 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds. Since the Earth is both spinning on its axis and revolving around the Sun, it takes about four minutes less than a calendar day to return to its point of origin relative to a given star. On this model, the “celestial” disc thus performs a complete rotation according to sidereal time with the time displayed on the periphery, opposite the date appearing on the periphery of the mobile disc. This same date is read off by a large central hand moving over the fixed outer flange bearing a scale graduated in five-day increments. This hand also indicates the sign of the zodiac, the season and the four dates corresponding to the solstices and equinoxes. Finally, the small central hand indicates the age of the moon, i.e. the number of days that have elapsed since the last full moon.

Comprising 839 parts and measuring a total 33.90 mm in diameter and 12.15 mm thick, this movement endowed with a 58-hour power reserve represents a technical feat that is all the rarer in that it displays all its functions in a perfectly legible manner on both sides. Equipped with a balance oscillating at a rate of 18,000 vibrations per hour (2.5 Hz), it is housed in a 47 mm-diameter 18K 5N pink gold case, of which the characteristics been specifically designed to provide the best possible sound quality for the minute repeater.

“Le Temps Céleste”

 Each year, the Les Cabinotiers department unveils a range of single-piece editions relating to a theme cherished by Vacheron Constantin. The year 2021 is dedicated to “Le Temps Céleste” (which means Celestial Time), with timepieces referring to the astronomical origins of time measurement.

From the dawn of civilisations, the cycle of days and seasons, the evolution of constellations in the night sky, the phases of the moon and eclipses have exerted an almost mystical fascination. Eager to unravel the mysteries of the universe, the first human beings found in mythological tales a cosmogony blending legends with poetry. At a very early stage, the first scientific minds attempted to decipher the rhythms of Nature and to organise them according to predictable patterns.

It was from these calculations, and with the appearance of writing, that the first calendars were born, before the Babylonian sexagesimal system gave meaning to the physical division of time into units of angle. Traditional watchmaking is a direct heir to this rigorous and scientific approach, expressed today on watches with depictions of the calendar, the sky chart, moon phases, tides and seasons, and even civil, solar and sidereal time with their differentials. Vacheron Constantin has nevertheless sought to endow these genuine observation instruments with all the charm of the founding myths through the subtlety of its craftsmanship, through its work in guilloché engraving and the engraving of symbolic motifs, or in the “stellar” glittering of gem-set stones. This new Les Cabinotiers range is the expression of exceptional expertise in astronomical watches, dedicated to the poetry of time.

Vacheron Constantin and astronomical watches

Astronomical watches enjoy a rich and longstanding tradition within the Maison. The Vacheron Constantin archives reveal a first perpetual calendar in 1884, integrated into a double-sided yellow gold pocket watch, now part of the Maison’s private collection. This was the beginning of a mechanical “epic” that would singularly take shape at the turn of the century. In 1900, the Maison set up a workshop exclusively dedicated to the assembly of watches with complications, often incorporating astronomical functions. Orders flooded in for complicated and even very complicated watches. The perpetual calendar was then combined with other technical feats such as those enriching a 1905 pocket watch comprising a minute repeater, split-seconds chronograph and perpetual calendar with phases and age of the moon.

Delivered in 1929, the pocket watch made for King Fouad I of Egypt with chronograph, perpetual calendar, Grande and Petite Sonnerie and minute repeater functions is characteristic of this golden age. This exceptional watchmaking expertise, later applied to wristwatches, would be powerfully expressed in the Tour de l’Île with its 16 horological and astronomical complications, produced in 2005 to mark the 250th anniversary of the Maison. It features a sky chart, a complication that has become a speciality of Vacheron Constantin. Reference 57260, which has 57 complications, also features a sky chart, notably accompanied by sidereal time and a secular Hebrew calendar. In 2017, Vacheron Constantin once again innovated with Calibre 3600, powering displays of civil, solar and sidereal time, the latter synchronised with a mobile representation of constellations.

Les Cabinotiers: single-piece editions

In the Vacheron Constantin universe, Les Cabinotiers represents a department in its own right dedicated to the personalisation of Grand Complication models and single-piece editions. This tradition dates back to the 18th century, an age when master-watchmakers were called cabinotiers and worked in ateliers bathed in natural light, known as cabinets and located on the top floors of Geneva’s buildings. In the hands of these learned artisans, open to the new ideas of the Enlightenment, exceptional timepieces were born, inspired by astronomy, mechanical engineering and the arts. This expertise, which constitutes the great Geneva watchmaking tradition, has been flowing through Vacheron Constantin’s veins since 1755.

Sum-up

Astronomy and mythology meet and mingle in the Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers Grand Complication Bacchus watch. This union of science and art finds an original field of expression in this highly sophisticated Grand Complication timepiece. The mythological references to Bacchus, the god of vines and wine, are symbolised by the ornamentation of the case with a vineyard motif. The Maison’s master engravers and gem-setters have worked together to create a bas-relief vine foliage on the case middle of the watch, embellished with ruby-set bunches of grapes. A masterpiece of applied arts, this model is doubly remarkable for its Calibre 2755 GC16 movement powering 16 complications and representing one of the most complex ever made by the Manufacture. A tourbillon and striking watch with a minute repeater mechanism, Les Cabinotiers Grand Complication Bacchus brings together on its double-sided display the essential calendar and astronomical functions in tribute to Johannes Kepler, one of the founders of modern astronomy. The perpetual calendar offers an equation of time indication as well as sunrise and sunset times on the front, complemented on the back by a display of sidereal time with a rotating sky chart of the constellations, the age of the moon along with indications of the date, seasons and signs of the zodiac. Through this timepiece, Vacheron Constantin perpetuates the grand watchmaking tradition of pocket watches that are both mechanically complex and richly decorated.

Baume: A different take on the concept of time. By Baume.

The latest Baume collection embodies renewal and creativity in the context of sustainable development, the circular economy, and protecting the environment. Swiss made, it reinvents time in motion. This collection has a strong design signature with its crown centered at noon, its articulated lugs at noon and 6 o’clock, its interchangeable bracelet with buttons, and its filigree hands.

Amidst the natural, offbeat materials are attributes such as a handcrafted decoration or small functions to evoke Baume & Mercier’s watchmaking roots. Here, it is not a question of dwelling on traditions but rather of making things happen and moving with the times in a different way. We don’t abide by the rules, we make them our own! A committed approach and a collection to embody it.

Baume watches are invited to the holiday season in an explosion of creativity adorned with their cotton or linen straps. With a 35 or 41 mm case, equipped here with a quartz movement, with a blue satin or white opaline dial coated with PVD steel, there is something for everyone. We like the black date at 6 o’clock and the small seconds hand with its gilt flange. Baume reinvents the watchmaking codes with style, finesse, and the nonconformity that was missing to arouse certain curiosities. For the more poetic, one of the models reveals a moon phase at its center encircled by a hypnotic minute track: a modern and daring interpretation of this complication with two moons against a starry background with a very graphic look. Baume & Mercier lights Christmas up from another angle and offers a form of collective, collaborative, and responsible watchmaking with its Baume collection.

Ahora trabaja en un estudio y exhibe su trabajo en galerías respetadas. Maestro de las apropiaciones, el arte de Gully combina todos los movimientos, desde el hiperrealismo al pop art, pasando por el surrealismo y el cubismo, para crear obras maestras graciosas y narrativas que viajan por la historia del arte como si fueran vistas a través de los ojos de un niño. Hablando de su oficio, Gully dice: “Unir mundos diferentes es mi marca registrada. Este proyecto tiene ese espíritu en su esencia, lo que lo convierte en una colaboración obvia para ambos”.

Roger Dubuis, que nunca se alejó de un desafío, tomó la decisión de remodelar y remodelar su propia obra de arte, el Excalibur Monotourbillon, a principios de este año. Gracias a la habilidad y el ingenio excepcionales de sus relojeros, se crearon las condiciones perfectas para la colaboración de URBAN ART TRIBE. El uso de líneas de corte limpias tanto en la caja como en el movimiento, así como los materiales modernos y técnicos, no solo eleva el reloj a un estándar aún más alto, sino que también lo convierte en un lienzo emocionante para la creatividad. Al proporcionar este espacio puro y versátil, se convierte en el patio de recreo en el que Gully se expresa.

UNA OBRA MAESTRA REMASTERIZADA

Gully une dos mundos en una nueva obra maestra singular al combinar la alta experiencia en relojería de la Maison con su divertido estilo artístico. Apropiando conscientemente la firma astral y fusionándola con su graffiti, la estrella se eleva a nuevas alturas por su estilo. Como un guiño a sus primeras obras callejeras, la etiqueta con letras de Gully utiliza la famosa técnica de una sola línea. Comenzando desde el centro del reloj, su mano se mueve directamente hacia las 11 en punto, dibujando el borrador preliminar de una G. La línea luego se dirige hacia las 3 en punto, pero cambia de dirección a la mitad para diseñar parcialmente una Y. Finalmente, la línea llega a las 9, luego a las 12, 6 y 3, antes de moverse hacia el centro del tourbillon y cruzar a las 4 en punto. Volviendo la línea al centro, queda claro que se han dibujado dos L. Termina la carrera dibujando una U parcialmente alrededor del tourbillon. Observe con atención las letras que nacen de este movimiento continuo, ya que el artista no solo reinterpreta la estrella de Roger Dubuis, sino que también firma la esfera. Mire más de cerca y se verá que se han creado dos nuevas estrellas, levitando en armonía paralela en la parte superior izquierda e inferior derecha de la esfera. De una sola línea a una obra maestra singular.

Inspirándose en la pintura en aerosol utilizada en el arte urbano, los relojeros de la Maison llenaron las letras con laca de colores luminiscentes, mientras que los marcadores de hora y las manecillas se llenaron de Super-Luminova ™ *. Los tonos modernos y brillantes recuerdan el universo del artista, al tiempo que crean una armonía estética y un Acabado único. Imbuido con una proeza técnica adicional, el Excalibur Gully Monotourbillon brilla bajo la luz ultravioleta mientras la obsesión de la Maison por la luminiscencia se refleja.

Gully agrega: “Colaborar con artesanos expertos en industrias con las que no estoy familiarizado me ayuda a crecer en mi comprensión del mundo y del arte en sí. Juntos hemos creado algo singular, completamente nuevo e inimitable “.

El talento técnico de los relojeros es aún más evidente en el calibre RD512SQ en sí. Al reducir el peso del tourbillon, la reserva de marcha se optimiza radicalmente a 72 horas, lo que brinda la opción de dejar el reloj sin usar durante los fines de semana. Además, para sellar con una firma muy exigente en alta relojería, el Poinçon de Genève, se requiere la decoración manual de todos los componentes, así como decoraciones inesperadas y antinómicas, como superficies superiores pulidas con chorro de arena y ángulos pulidos. Subrayado por la rareza y limitado a solo ocho piezas, el Excalibur Gully Monotourbillon está alojado en una caja de titanio DLC gris oscuro de 42 mm y montado en una correa de piel de becerro negra, intercambiable con un sistema de liberación rápida para máxima comodidad y flexibilidad.

Junto a sus amigos, la Maison muestra lo que sucede cuando se rechazan las reglas y se desata la creatividad. Al reunir a un artista visionario con relojeros increíbles, Roger Dubuis demuestra una vez más que es sin duda la forma más emocionante de experimentar la hiperhorología.

SIN REGLAS. NUESTRO JUEGO.

Ensayo de catálogo

Phillips se siente extremadamente honrado y emocionado de presentar el primer Patek Philippe Nautilus ref. 5711/1A-018 con una impresionante esfera lacada Tiffany Blue®. Es, sin duda, uno de los ejemplos más emocionantes, exclusivos y codiciados de un Nautilus jamás ofrecido.

Anunciada al público hace solo unos días, esta serie limitada Nautilus celebra los 170 años de alianza entre Patek Philippe y Tiffany & Co., que sigue siendo una de las relaciones más largas y duraderas en toda la relojería. Se producirán y estarán disponibles un total de 170 relojes exclusivamente a través de las ubicaciones de Tiffany en Nueva York, Beverly Hills y San Francisco, con la excepción de este mismo reloj. Por lo tanto, el presente lote es el primer reloj que se vende y estará disponible para su entrega inmediata al postor ganador.

La referencia Nautilus 5711 es la iteración moderna del primer reloj de pulsera deportivo de lujo de Patek Philippe, lanzado por primera vez en 1976 como la referencia 3700. Presentada en 2006, la referencia 5711 actualizó el Nautilus para los tiempos modernos con nuevas innovaciones, como un fondo de caja de exhibición, y un movimiento interno de cuerda automática con segundero central.

Elegido por el fundador de Tiffany, Charles Lewis Tiffany, para la portada de su Blue Book anual publicado a partir de 1845, el color “Tiffany Blue” de la esfera se reconoce de inmediato por su tono distintivo y su vitalidad. Tiffany Blue ahora está registrado como una marca comercial de color por Tiffany & Co., estandarizado como un color personalizado privado por Pantone como “1837 Blue”, con el número que marca el año de la fundación de Tiffany. No solo presenta una esfera de color azul Tiffany por primera vez, la esfera también tiene un doble sello con el exclusivo “Tiffany & Co.” firma a las 6 en punto combinada con el logotipo de Patek Philippe a las 12 en punto, ambos impresos en negro. Los índices de hora tipo bastón luminosos y las manecillas están en oro blanco de 18 quilates ennegrecido, lo que combina perfectamente con la impresión, al tiempo que proporciona una legibilidad excepcional contra la superficie lacada en azul claro de la esfera.

Esta última versión de la referencia 5711, que se retirará próximamente en 2022, está equipada con el calibre automático 26-330 S C. Con un mecanismo de parada de segundos que permite ajustar el tiempo con una precisión de un segundo, este estado-de- el movimiento artístico es visible a través de un fondo de caja de cristal de zafiro, con la inscripción “170th Anniversary 1851-2021 Tiffany & Co. – Patek Philippe”.

En consecuencia, el reloj rinde homenaje a la histórica visión compartida de 170 años y la relación que vincula a Patek Philippe con los Estados Unidos. Poco después de la fundación de Patek Philippe (1839) y Tiffany & Co. (1837), en 1851, las dos empresas firmaron un acuerdo que convirtió a Tiffany & Co. en el primer socio oficial de los relojes Patek Philippe en los EE. UU. En 1876, las dos empresas firmó un nuevo acuerdo que designa a Tiffany & Co. como representante general de EE. UU. “que salvaguarda los intereses de Patek Philippe & Cie. como si fueran
eran sus propios intereses”. Al mismo tiempo, Patek Phillipe se comprometió a salvaguardar los intereses de Tiffany & Co., como lo demuestra un gran cartel que dice “Agentes de Tiffany & Co., Nueva York” en la sede histórica de Patek Philippe en Ginebra. En las instalaciones de los mismos Salones Patek Philippe en Ginebra, hay otra prueba de esta relación duradera: una gran bóveda de acero que antes era propiedad de Tiffany & Co. y decorada por un águila americana con dos banderas.

A principios del siglo XX, Tiffany & Co. apoyó las relaciones clave entre Patek Philippe y los principales coleccionistas estadounidenses, incluido Henry Graves Junior, para quien la manufactura elaboró ​​una amplia gama de relojes complicados. En el siglo XXI, Patek Philippe creó varias ediciones limitadas para Tiffany & Co., muchas de las cuales conmemoran fechas importantes y presentan esferas con doble sello para ambas marcas, incluida la ref. 5150 Calendario Anual lanzado en 2001, la ref. 4987 Gondolo botado en 2009, y la ref. 5396G-012 en 2012. Esta última referencia conmemoró el quinto aniversario de Patek Philippe Boutique en Tiffany & Co, que abrió en 2008 y fue la primera boutique de la manufactura en los EE. UU.

Hoy en día, Tiffany & Co. sigue siendo el único minorista del mundo cuyo nombre aparece en una esfera Patek Philippe, lo que hace que cualquier reloj firmado por Tiffany sea extremadamente buscado. A lo largo de los siglos XIX, XX y XXI, muchas cosas han cambiado, pero la relación entre Tiffany & Co. y Patek Philippe no ha hecho más que crecer. El lote actual, que se ofrece en condiciones nuevas de fábrica, es un Nautilus de serie limitada raro e impresionante que ejemplifica la fuerza de su asociación duradera y seguramente hará las delicias de cualquier entusiasta de los relojes.

El cien por ciento de los ingresos de la venta de este reloj beneficiará a The Nature Conservancy (TNC). Fundada en los EE. UU. en 1951, TNC es una organización ambiental global sin fines de lucro que trabaja para crear un mundo donde las personas y la naturaleza puedan prosperar. Su misión es conservar las tierras y las aguas de las que depende toda la vida y dar forma a un futuro más brillante para las personas y nuestro planeta. Hasta la fecha, TNC ha protegido más de 119 millones de acres de tierra y 5000 millas de ríos en todo el mundo, con el apoyo anterior de Tiffany & Co. y The Tiffany & Co. Foundation. Con programas de conservación en más de 70 países de todo el mundo, sus programas están dedicados a la sostenibilidad de los alimentos y el agua, la protección de la tierra y el agua, la implementación de soluciones para el cambio climático y la construcción de ciudades saludables.

Vacheron Constantin – Traditionnelle Tourbillon China Limited Edition

Vacheron Constantin – Traditionnelle Tourbillon China Limited Edition

  • Inspirado en la cultura china del jade, el modelo de tourbillon Traditionnelle está dedicado al mercado chino, numerado y grabado en edición limitada de 30 piezas.
  • Una edición limitada completamente vestida de Imperial Green, un color que representa el más puro y más alto grado de jadeíta verde.

Traditionnelle Tourbillon China Limited Edition

Ginebra, 29 de noviembre de 2021 – El fabricante suizo de alta relojería Vacheron Constantin presenta un reloj de edición limitada de alta complicación, exclusivo para el mercado chino.

Un caballero de jade

“Un caballero de jade” es una frase conocida desde la antigua China para describir a un hombre de carácter noble. Los chinos creen que un verdadero caballero es elegante y digno al igual que el Jade, lo que inspira la creación del primer reloj de pulsera de alta complicación especialmente diseñado para el mercado chino. Considerado como un espejo de la civilización china, Jade ha sido un tesoro de la tradición china durante miles de años. Esta piedra preciosa ha sido un símbolo de alta moralidad a lo largo de la historia de China.

“Verde imperial”

El color verde se describe en la poesía china como suave, relajante y lleno de vigor y energía. Vivir en un entorno verde o agregar toques de verde a su entorno puede traer sorprendentemente sofisticación, tranquilidad y vitalidad a la vida.

El conocido Dragón de Jade Hongshan (Verde) del Período Neolítico, la talla de dragón de jade más antigua conocida en China, define la naturaleza imperial de las tallas de jade verde. En los tiempos modernos, la jadeíta, una forma más dura de jade conocida por los chinos, es muy apreciada por su color suave, translúcido, lujoso, pero no exagerado.

La calidad de un jade está determinada en gran medida por la pureza de su color. El verde imperial, el color con el que se vistió el primer reloj de pulsera de edición limitada de China de alta complicación de Vacheron Constantin, es conocido por representar el tono más puro y sofisticado de la jadeíta verde, y tiene una fuerte audacia sin dejar de ser discreto y cálido.

Traditionnelle Tourbillon China Limited Edition

Su frecuencia relativamente tranquila (2,5 Hz), junto con su peso oscilante periférico pulido con chorro de arena de oro de 22 quilates, brindan la oportunidad de admirar el ritmo constante de su mecanismo y el nivel excepcional del acabado tradicional de Côtes de Genève visible a través del fondo de caja de cristal de zafiro.

Como dice un viejo refrán chino, como el Jade, aquellos que logran grandes cosas son modestos en cuanto a sus capacidades. Como epítome de resplandor, proporciones equilibradas y detalles sutiles, el nuevo Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Tourbillon China Limited Edition honra e interpreta a un caballero de jade.

——————————————————————-

Resumen

El refinamiento técnico se une a la elegancia estética en este modelo imbuido de una masculinidad exquisita. Representa el epítome de la luminosidad, las proporciones equilibradas y los detalles sutiles. Fiel a los orígenes de Vacheron Constantin y dedicado a los clientes chinos enamorados de relojes bellamente elaborados que son a la vez discretos y distinguidos. Emitido en una serie limitada de 30 piezas exclusivamente para China continental, reafirma el estilo en los acordes tonos de verde: desde la elegante esfera con acabado en tono verde imperial con acabado sunburst hasta la correa de piel de aligátor Mississippiensis con hebilla de oro rosa de 18 quilates 5N.

BIG BANG INTEGRAL TOURBILLON RAINBOW

BIG BANG INTEGRAL TOURBILLON RAINBOW

HUBLOT’S UNIQUE TAKE ON RAINBOW MAXIMALISM
Since 2017, Hublot has been setting its watches with all the colours of the rainbow. However, the watch brand has never combined all of its seven colours in one piece. Until now! Two exceptional High Jewellery pieces adorned with the full rainbow spectrum, from the case to the dial and to the bracelet.  Two Big Bang Tourbillon models made from King Gold or white gold, which allow a glimpse beneath the sapphire to reveal the fascinating automatic tourbillon manufacture movement.

While Hublot is now completely synonymous with its Art of Fusion, the watch brand is also a master of the Art of Colour. It excels at imbuing all the materials it uses with colour, from those it has built expertise in, such as sapphire, to those it has patented, like vibrantly coloured ceramic.

With a Pop Art spirit and a penchant for bright tones, Hublot loves its watches to really show their colours. Juxtapositions, gradations, contrasts, no Pantone is out of reach – not even the palette required for “Rainbow”. While the Rainbow trend has recently taken the fashion world by storm, for Hublot, this love of polychromy is anything but fleeting – unlike the rainbow itself – with the first Big Bang Rainbow released in 2017.

This piece totals almost 36 carats, with 484 invisibly set baguette-cut stones of seven different types to echo the seven visible colours of the spectrum: bright red rubies, fuchsia pink sapphires, ultraviolet amethysts, topaz in Klein blue, leaf green tsavorites, lemon yellow sapphires and bright orange sapphires. Two striking creations with generous dimensions of 43 mm; two unique pieces crafted from King Gold or white gold, with the integrated bracelet further reinforcing the visual impact, as the graduated spectrum of colours radiates outwards from the bezel to the bracelet.

The colour gradation is expertly executed, subtle yet captivating. It would be impossible to choose a favourite colour or stone. It must be said that, when it comes to perfectly combining and harmonising colours, Nature knows best. The continuous transition between the seven types of stones further accentuates the piece’s artistic appeal.
To reproduce the perfection of Nature takes 1200 hours of work, selecting the stones, choosing their colours, cutting them and setting them to ensure the perfect gradation of colours. Nothing is left to chance in this work of art, including its mechanism, a manufacture movement entirely designed and manufactured in-house. It features a tourbillon at 6 o’clock which is no less striking than the piece itself: self-winding, with a micro-rotor visible on the dial side, and three bridges made from transparent sapphire. Once again, Hublot has fused innovation with expertise, combining Haute Horlogerie and Haute Joaillerie in a truly stunning watch.

Multicoloured is no longer a fashion faux pas; rather a deliberate multifaceted style. With all the colours of the rainbow combined in a single watch, are you ready for a look versatile enough for your every mood?

PRESNEL KIMPEMBE

Presnel Kimpembe was born on August 13, 1995 in France, to a Congolese father and Haitian mother. Named after his maternal grandfather, for him the value of family has always been of utmost importance. Passionated with football since a young age, Kimpembe took his first steps in football at the age of 10 years old. He made his professional debut for Paris Saint-Germain in 2014 and participated in the UEFA Champions league for the first time in February 2017. Presnel Kimpembe was born to become a winner: he won his first “French champion” title with Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season. France and the rest of the world had the pleasure to discover his talent and joviality over the summer of 2018, during which he was crowned World Champion with Didier Deschamps’ french team “les Bleus”. Since then, Kimpembe keeps playing for PSG as a centre-back with the club’s emblem bolted to his heart.

THE KIMPEMBE CONCEPT

When we first met with Presnel Kimpembe, we discovered a very passionate and creative man with a special sense of aesthetics and fashion.  It’s not for nothing that Kimpembe began his own streetwear collection in 2020. Once the football player finds an interest in something, he wants to get to the bottom of it, understand and master the subject to its smallest details. That’s also what happened during the process of creating his exclusive Skeleton Concept timepiece.

Never doing things halfway, Kimpembe challenged our watchmakers into skeletonizing his Rolex®  GMT-MASTER II “Batman”. A real technical challenge that has never been taken up by any other team of master watchmakers before us. Another requirement was to keep the “sportswear” aspect of the timepiece and intensify the blue color on the bezel, since it is his signature color.

A TECHNICAL FEAT

Due to the particularity of the movement and its 2 complications (the date disc and the second GMT time zone), hundreds of hours of hard work and several sketches were needed to create the design and craft it. Our master watchmakers had to use a lot of ingenuity and creativity in order to find the technical solutions to keep the complications working all the while skeletonizing the cutout of the dial and the rest of the movement in a harmonious and flattering way.

The density of the original movement of the GMT-Master II, required a particular attention. A special sandblasting treatment was made in order to keep the consistency of the timepiece and add a matte  aspect to its visual beauty. The movement has been fully refined. Its color is a beautiful pale Oyster steel gray that enhances the bi-color blue and black bezel – carefully chosen by the World cup Champion, Kimpembe. The matte bracelet in Oyster steel fits perfectly with the color palette chosen for this design.

Skeleton Concept reimagines the Rolex GMT-Master II Batman for Paris Saint-Germain footballer Presnel Kimpembe

A FLOATING VISUAL EFFECT ON THE MOVEMENT

The smooth handmade anglage adds life and volume to the movement that is achievable only in haute horology. The strong-edged plate with its Rubi creates a nice and delightful reflection of the light. Thanks to the superposition of the Sapphire module of the date, the numbers on the dial seem to be “floating”, as if suspended in air…. almost transparent.

We also gave Kimpembe a special nod: the number 3 on the date module is in blue – as “3” is his number on the football team. The Kimpembe Concept turned the GMT-Master II watch into a dynamic and elegant timepiece. The skeletonized timepiece is of exceptional finesse, the result is exquisite.

PRE-ORDER

WORD OF PRESNEL KIMPEMBE

“Ever since I was a young boy, I’ve always been a fan of everything that has to do with customization. I have been lucky to learn more about the fascinating and complicated world of horology, thanks to the master watchmakers of Skeleton Concept. The process of personalizing my timepiece has been marvelous to me. I feel blessed and lucky to wear such a unique timepiece.”
