Breitling Without Wings, Don’t Rose The Emperor

13. January 2021Uncategorized

Many people don’t know that many famous and iconic watch brand logos are not what they are today. Almost every watch brand logo with a long history of watchmaking has evolved all the way to finally determine what it looks like now. Even now, the logos of many brands are constantly changing and adjusting. Today we will talk about the evolution history of several highly representative brand logos and explore the stories behind them.

Breitling: Can I fly without wings?

 Breitling originated in 1884. When the founder of the brand was founded, he did not design a logo for the brand. In the beginning, there were only time markers and hands on the timepiece, not even the brand name. The well-known Breitling double-wing logo began in 1952. The brand launched the first Navitimer pilot series watch, which carries the iconic wing logo, but this wing is still very different from the version we see now.

In 1952, the brand launched the Navitimer series, which is still a classic design until now

Early bi-wing logos also had the ‘AOPA’ logo (‘AOPA’ International Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association)
 By the 1960s, Breitling’s logo also appeared in the shape of a double airplane. Many people think that this series is loaded in the Super Ocean series. In fact, it is not used in the Navitimer series, and it was used on the Breitling Navitimer LED quartz watch during the quartz crisis in the 1970s.

The Breitling brand logo has evolved so far

We are familiar with the Breitling wings brand logo (on)
The current Breitling brand logo (below)

 Today, in 2018, Breitling announced that the brand logo had cancelled the original wings and replaced with ‘B’. As soon as the news came out, it was questioned, confused, and even mocked by many cousins. At this year’s Basel watch exhibition, most of the Breitling watches we saw adopted the ‘B’ logo without wings, but the Super Ocean series and the reprinted chronograph 806 watch 1959 replica version still have Wings logo.

Breitling Aviation Chronograph 806 1959 replica watch still uses the original logo

 This was Breitling’s most revolutionary chronograph watch, and when it was introduced it became an integral part of every cockpit. The new Navitimer watch recreates the design elements of the much-respected early aviation chronograph, including the all-black dial, with the same color small dial and beaded rotating bezel, composed of a whole 94 beads, the number is the same as the 1959 Paragraphs are exactly the same.

Breitling’s double wings logo is too classic
 Will Breitling re-adopt the wings in accordance with ‘public opinion’ in the future? We are not quite sure, but what is certain is that consumers do prefer ‘breitling with wings’, which has become the iconic design of Breitling brand in the blood (including different shapes of wings, which has been half a century old Up). ‘Wings have souls,’ someone said.

Omega: God of Time

 Compared with the evolution of other watchmaking brands on the logo, Omega has strengthened its faith since the day when the brand logo was announced. In 1895, Omega officially announced the logo and brand name to the world. Inspired by the ancient Greek god of time ‘Chronos’ holding a spear, aiming at the sphere symbolizing universality, the sphere is labeled ‘OMEGA’.

Omega’s announced logo and inspiration

 According to legend, Koronos (Ancient Greek Xρόνος / English Chronos) is the primitive god in ancient Greek mythology, the highest deity worshipped by Orpheus, one of the three major denominations, creating chaos and order.

‘Omega’ has been placed on the dial as the brand logo on Omega pocket watches

 Omega’s iconic ‘Ω’ brand logo

 Until now, Omega still uses this design. ‘Ω’ is taken from the Greek and represents the beginning and end of things, which means that the end is also the beginning. This iconic design is still used by the brand to this day. During different design backgrounds and printing processes, there have been logo shapes such as happy feet and flat feet. The red ‘Ω’ has now become the Omega brand. A sign.

Rolex: a symbol of rights

 Although there are many fine watch brands in Switzerland that are more expensive than Rolex in terms of complexity and price, it must be said that Rolex still has an unassailable position in the watchmaking industry. Apart from the quality of watchmaking, Rolex’s success has a lot to do with marketing and brand logos. Credit also includes: the crown symbolizing rights and status and the green symbolizing hope and prosperity become the most iconic design of the brand.

Rolex’s iconic crown logo and green background

 There are many sayings about the origin and secret meaning behind the Rolex crown. Some people think that five points represent the five fingers of a human hand, while others believe that the purpose of the crown is to represent the five branches on the top of the pearl. However, Rolex did not respond positively to these conjectures, so no one knew what the founders originally thought.

The Rolex logo has not changed much compared to the original

Crown logo becomes an inseparable brand gene for Rolex watches

Even so, the Rolex logo has undergone two major updates in the history of the brand: in 1965, the crown changed from gold to bronze and the text changed to tin blue. However, in 2002, Rolex returned to its original color scheme: a gold crown and green lettering.

Tudor: Once the rose, now the shield

The current Tudor brand logo

 Since the establishment of the brand, the Tudor brand logo has been constantly changing. We are familiar with two styles: 1. roses; 2. shields. In fact, in addition to these two logos, Tudor’s brand logo has been constantly changing.

From only the brand name, to the co-occurrence of flowers and shields, to the evolution of small flowers and large flowers, today, the Tudor logo uses a separate shield design

Tudor now uses a shield-like logo

 Tudor models of the period when flowers and shields appeared together

 In fact, around 1936, the Tudor logo combined the two, showing the Tudor symbolic rose and shield. This is a way to symbolize the brand’s poles: rose style and elegance and the combination of shield power and ‘technique’.

Tudor rose logo

 Ten years later, Tudor chose the brand logo image of only roses. After years of evolution, it has formed a representative in the hearts of consumers. But from 1969, Tudor began to re-conceive and design the brand logo. The shield replaced the image of roses. But in the crown and other designs, we can still see the presence of roses.

Tudor ‘Little Copper Flower’

 It did not completely disappear from the design of the Tudor, but took another form to appear with the image of the shield. It is worth mentioning that, for a period of time, the crown of the Tudor Submariner series was engraved with the Rolex crown logo.

The crown is on the crown of the watch

 Regardless of how history has evolved, the brand’s logo has become the first entry for consumers to understand and understand it, along with the brand. When these genes are deeply embedded in the connotation of the brand, it is easy not to change too much. Among these brand logos, which one do you think is the most suitable and best designed for the brand? Remember to tell me below the comments.

29. December 2020Uncategorized

Imperia, Italy became the focus of the classical sailing world from September 5th to 9th, as the fourth stop of the Panerai Classical Sailing Challenge Le Vele d’Epoca di Imperia will be held locally Held. Imperia, Italy became the focal point of the classical sailing world from September 5th to 9th, as the fourth leg of the Panerai Classical Sailing Challenge, Le Vele d’ Epoca di Imperia, was held locally. This international classic sailing event has been sponsored by Panerai for the past eight years. This year it attracted more than 80 historic classic sailing boats.
    The 17th edition of Le Vele d’ Epoca di Imperia has not only an astonishing number of sailing yachts, but also the quality. Several classic sailing ships built from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of this century will gather at the Porto Maurizio pier, the hull of the younger is 8 meters,
The largest can reach 70 meters, carrying thousands of crew members, sailing with the watch of 200,000 tourists, and welcoming five days of exciting events.
    The participating sailing boats are divided into four groups: classic sailing boats (built before 1950), classic sailing boats (built from 1950 to 1975), traditional spirit (modern sailing boats with antique design), metric sailing boats (15 meters, 12 meters, 8 meters, 6 meters and other international class sailing).
    Every exciting period in the history of international sailing can be represented in more than 80 classic sailing ships in the race. The early 1900s were represented by the Elena and Atlantic, two large schooners with 55-meter and 69-meter long hulls, respectively, proudly showing the majesty of the giant sailing ships of the past. Atlantic is modeled after the schooner of legendary captain Charlie Barr. In 1905, it was with this schooner Long March 3,000 challenge that Charlie Barr went straight from the United States to England in just 12 days to win the Kaiser’s Cup Transatlantic Championship.
    The competition also attracted four of the world’s last 15-meter international class sailing boats to gather together. The Tuiga (1909), Prince Albert of Monaco, has just returned from Antigua, Guatemala, and entered the second race, preparing to compete with Hispania (1909), the love boat of King Alfonso XIII of Spain. Higher. The Lady Anne (1912) and Mariska (1908) will also compete in the event. There are also many notable giant ships in the classic sailing group, such as the 40-meter Cambria (1928), the 64-meter Adix, the 38-meter Altair, the 40-meter Orion (1910), and the 36-meter Sunshine , And Sylvia (1925), 43 meters long.
    The Italian Navy has also sent a whole team of traditional sailing teams to participate in this event, many of which have just returned from a training course at the Naval Academy. Classical sailing ships such as Artica II, Capricia, Caroy, Chaplin, Corsaro II, Stella Polare, and the later Orsa Maggiore sailed on the sea to break the waves, which really gave a lot to the race.
    Panerai’s 1936 brig schooner Eilean will also debut in this event. Eilean’s restoration work was extremely difficult. It took more than 40,000 hours to complete the restoration work at the Del Carlo shipyard in Viareggio, and two years ago he won the Best Classical Sailing Repair Award in Imperia. Eilean has competed this year in the Antigua Classic Sailing Challenge Transatlantic Race, Panerai English Classic Week (Cowes) and Mahon Classic Sailing Challenge (Mahon), and is now preparing to challenge Imperia.
    Competitors in the same group as Eilean are Il Moro di Venezia I. Il Moro di Venezia I is the world’s first laminated giant Italian sailing ship. In 1976, it was heavily designed by Argentine designer German Frers. In addition to this sailing ship, many sailing ships written by the famous sailing industry master have repeatedly made great achievements in the America’s Cup, leaving the designer a prominent reputation in the history of Italian sailing.

Black Ceramic Glashütte Perpetual Calendar Watch

12. December 2020Uncategorized

Scratch-resistant and hard. This is the best comment on the characteristics of ceramics. These advantages make ceramics the most ideal material for making watch cases. The Glashütte black ceramic perpetual calendar watch is clear and easy to read through the double-sided anti-glare sapphire crystal set on the enlarged bezel.
 Since 1845, the Glashütte Manufacture has stood for active and reliable, producing many high-quality works and unique mechanical watches using traditional watchmaking techniques-exquisite handmade, made in Germany. The new Senator Perpetual Calendar black ceramic perpetual calendar watch combines sophisticated watchmaking art with a modern look, combining tradition and creativity in a new way.

 With double-sided anti-glare sapphire crystal set on the enlarged bezel, the time and perpetual calendar become clear and easy to read. Black backgrounds set off white weeks, months, and the typical large calendar window of Glashütte. Silver discs decorated with stars rotate under the faceplate, and the delicately polished moon shows the moon phases. The leap year display is at 12 o’clock. When the red pointer points to L, it means that the year is a leap year. The visual impression of the face plate is simple, clear and organized, and each function has ample space to display.

 The ceramic case with a diameter of 42mm is equipped with a factory-made automatic caliber cal. 100-07, with a power reserve of 55 hours (positive and negative error is 10%), and a correction mechanism is set so that the second hand can synchronize the standard time at any time. Unlike other correction mechanisms, the second hand is not connected to the bearing or crown. In other words, when the crown is pulled out, the balance wheel and the movement are still running, which can reduce the pressure between the internal objects. The calibration mechanism of this watch must be activated by pressing another button located at 8 o’clock in the case. The oscillating weight can be reworked in both directions, providing a stable source of power for the movement.
 The scratch-resistant black leather strap with light-colored stitching and ceramic buckle shows classic elegance, and the state-of-the-art design writes a perfect stop for this watch.

Diving Into The Deep Sea-deconstructing The Diving Watch

23. November 2020Uncategorized

There are many styles of diving watches available on the market today. Their water resistance ranges from a basic water depth of 10 meters to a deepest 11,000 meters. Not all waterproof watches are marked for diving. A diving watch that is waterproof to 30 meters or 50 meters is just a life-proof type, which means that you do not need to remove it when washing your hands or raining. It is not wise to try to enter the swimming pool with this level of watch. Above 100 meters can be officially called a diving watch. Wristwatches that are 100m or 200m water resistant can be worn for swimming or diving in diving areas. In general, the world record for humans to dive naturally without the aid of diving tools is currently 162 meters, so watches with a water depth of more than 300 meters are suitable for scuba diving and are truly professional deep-sea diving watches. Any waterproof watch cannot be placed in hot water, even if it is water-resistant. The watch is waterproof, but not steam-proof.
Each major watch brand seems to have a professional habit. Although most people have no chance to dive below 50 meters, the brands are still focusing on developing superb diving depth. Bulgari Diagono Professional dive expression to 2000 meters, Panerai Luminor
The Submersible professional diving watch is water-resistant to 2500 meters, and the Bell & Ross Hydromax deep-sea diving watch can even reach 11,000 meters. Many brands have professional diving watches, which make the waterproof depth of the diving watch far exceed the limit that humans can dive.
Deconstruction: Crown and Shoulders
The most convenient place for diving watches to enter the water is the crown, because the crown is the only part that connects the outside and the movement. In order to prevent water from entering the movement through the crown, the producer tried all kinds of methods. A crown called a screw-in type was designed. The crown can be screwed tightly. The joint of the crown has waterproof rubber made of rubber ring. When the crown is tightened, water is tightly isolated from the watch. Although the screw-down crown is reliable, it is extremely inconvenient to use. The only problem is that the threads will be worn, which will reduce the water resistance. This is the crown structure commonly used by diving watch brands today. It is also derived from the classic Rolex design.

The crown is protected by a cap to increase water resistance
Other manufacturers have also developed their own unique crowns: around the 1950s, Mido designed a special waterproof design crown-Aquadura cork-sealed crown system, Mido was embedded in the watch with natural cork Inside the crown to ensure waterproof performance. Since it is cork, why not be afraid of aging? The reason is that the special treatment keeps the cork moist and elastic all year round, even if the crown is not fully pressed, it is still waterproof. The only disadvantage is that this structure does not guarantee deep waterproofing, it is only suitable for waterproofing 50 meters or less. Last year’s Commander Gold Limited Edition is the spirit of excellence from Mido since 1959. It achieves the perfect unity of functionality and reliability. The gold version is a new limited edition series to celebrate the 50th anniversary. The integrated case has no back cover, uses the unique Aquadura cork sealing system, and the built-in cork waterproof device makes the crown waterproof. Although only 30 meters waterproof, it is the highest guarantee of waterproofing in daily life. Panerai designed the bridge-rod-locked crown structure and was patented in 1956. The principle is that by using a lever with a crown to press the crown on the case, the watch’s water resistance is significantly enhanced, and the water resistance has been verified to withstand 1,000 meters of water pressure. To this day, this device is still one of the distinctive signs of Panerai. Luminor models also have a left crown suitable for left-handed operation. The Compressor crown, developed by Jaeger-LeCoultre, uses a compression screw device developed by Jaeger-LeCoultre to compress the space by rotating, so that the sealing rubber pad in the crown is completely watertight, thereby improving water resistance. Designed with red and white arrows, the white arrow indicates that the crown is locked, and the red arrow indicates that the crown has been unscrewed. In addition, the crown of the Cartier Pasha series and the crown of Hamilton’s Frogman diving watch are equipped with a screw-type protective crown with enhanced waterproof performance, and linked to the body with a buckle to prevent accidents. Drop is missing.

Mido’s Pilot’s Watch with Aquadura Sealed Crown System
Maybe people think that the structure of the shoulder pad is only designed for the decoration of the watch. In fact, for the diving watch, the shoulder pad has practical significance. It protects the crown from external forces. Although the screw-locked crown is more durable and waterproof than the ordinary push-in crown, it will still be offset or damaged due to frictional external forces during use. The shoulder pads have a protective effect on this. Currently there are two types of shoulder pads, wrapped and non-wrapped. What we generally see is unwrapped, with a spacer next to the crown to prevent collisions. The other type is to wrap the entire crown, and the entire crown is sealed by a movable device, so that the crown cannot be pulled out, thereby achieving anti-collision purposes. Panerai’s crown protectors are very famous. A large external device locks the crown, which can prevent collisions and accidental collisions. This is extremely important for the wearer, especially in turbid water. under. Another example is the Omega Ploprof coaxial diving watch, which is a replica of the well-known left-hand version of the professional diving watch in the 1970s, which was used by the French Comex submarine surveying company at that time. The crown is located inside the large shoulder guard on the left. When the original design is released, the square protective device on the outside will pop open. At this time, the crown is pulled out, and the date can be quickly adjusted in the first section and the time adjusted in the second section . The crown can be locked into the case if the square protection is pressed in.

The rotating inner ring has always been a patent of IWC
Divers like to carry a small amount of oxygen tanks. In order to reduce the underwater weight, the amount of oxygen is related to the size of the oxygen cylinder. Therefore, people who are familiar with diving equipment will bring a device to measure the amount of oxygen. . The rotating outer ring can be said to be the biggest feature of the diving watch, and it reminds the diving time. The scale of the rotating bezel is 15, 30, 45, because oxygen cylinders for general diving can only adhere to 45 minutes, and some are marked with 60 minutes. The first 15 minutes are color-coded or specially marked, as divers will strictly adhere to a 15-minute safety stop when ascending to completely release the nitrogen absorbed from the cylinder. Normally, just turn the bezel during the dive so that the 0 scale on the bezel is aligned with the minute hand, and then watch the corresponding scale on the bezel after the minute hand moves to know the time spent diving. Of course, you can also count down. First of all, know your dive time. Turn the bezel to align the minute scale with the minute hand, and then the time when the minute hand reaches the 0 scale is exactly your dive time, which means that the position of the 0 scale is your dive. Extreme time.

Divescope Diverscope JR1000 Goldwaters Rotary Inner Watch, the rose gold scale of the circle can show the last 15 minutes of snorkeling time
The rotation of the external bezel is designed in a single counterclockwise direction. This is to ensure that the calculation time is only accounted for more, not accounted for, and to prevent misoperations that prolong the time and cause danger. Professional fluorescent coatings on the scales and numbers make it easy to display under dim light. In recent years, the emerging built-in chronograph bezel has no restriction on the direction of rotation, because the crown that controls the bezel must be locked before launching. For example, the Aquatimer Cousteau of IWC, the built-in chronograph bezel can ensure the reminder function, without the need to make a hole in the case. Another benefit is that there is no need to clean the sediment in the seams of the bezel case after the water is discharged. In fact, only five of the 1,000 people who buy diving watches have the opportunity to dive into 50 meters of water. More than the nominal number, more players love the crisp answer when rotating the bezel. Omega’s Ploprof coaxial diving watch has a rotating outer ring controlled by the orange button attached to the upper right side of the case. It can be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise. This type of diving watch’s outer ring can be rotated in both directions. There is actually no craft on the bezel, but Blancpain’s 50 series single-piece rotating bezel is different. The designer uses sapphire crystal to cover the fluorescent scale (instead of ordinary high-tech ceramics), and has spent many years of hard work to develop an adhesive that binds the fluorescent scale material to the sapphire bezel and metal bezel. And applied for a patent. Rolex uses patented PVD technology to fill the rotating bezel with platinum. Due to the use of a new luminous material that emits blue light, the triangle zero on the scale outer ring is longer visible at night or in the deep sea.
Deconstruction: Luminous

Luminous effect of diving watch
All diving watches are equipped with eye-catching luminous hands and scales. Because divers are often in the dark and deep sea, the hands, scales or surfaces of dive watches are usually coated with fluorescent materials, and the dimensions of the hands and scales are deliberately enlarged. To make it easier for users to read time.
The early luminous material was radium (Radiomir), which was discontinued because it contained excessive radiation. The most commonly used luminous materials today are Super-LumiNova and radon. Super-LumiNova is a new material. It absorbs the gamma particles in the light and stores it. It can emit light for more than 10 hours, but the intensity of the light will decay after a certain period. Controlling night light (also called ‘gas light’) is a big leap in modern night light technology. The use of radon is a glorious tradition for Ball. The advantage is that the self-luminous light is not only bright, but also has a long life-it is said that the life can be as long as 25 years. The principle is to fill gaseous plutonium in a mineral glass tube coated with phosphorescent substance on the inner wall, and use the B-rays of plutonium to excite the phosphorescent substance to generate a cold light source. This type of light source does not emit dazzling light and heat, nor does it burn and explode. The tube wall can block B-rays, as long as the tube is not broken, it is not harmful to people. The radon tube does not require external energy supply or reflection from external light sources, and can maintain a stable and long-lasting light emission for 10 to 20 years. The cymbal yue Ming is marked with 3H illumination and mbmicrotec letters on the back cover of the watch case. All the watch hands and scales in Ball have cymbal yem night (including temperature and second hand). The only bad thing about this is that the hands will be heavy, especially the second hand, which should have a slight impact on the time of the watch. In order to maintain balance, the second hand of the Bol watch has a ‘long tail’ or is composed of two RR ‘Flower Tail.’ Panerai Radiomir’s dial luminous effect is achieved by applying a layer of special paint on the marks and indicators. This paint is a mixture of zinc sulfide, radium bromide and neodymium. This compound, invented and formulated by Panerai, was also a major feature of the sighting and observation instruments produced by Florentine. The powerful lighting effect eliminates the need to borrow auxiliary lighting equipment that may be found by the enemy to illuminate itself in a completely dark environment.

Tag Heuer: The Undisputed Global Chronograph Leader

In the new generation of Carrera series, TAG Heuer launched the new century, integrating the column wheel automatic chronograph movement by Jack. The legendary chronograph series designed by TAG Heuer in 1964 has become the style of Athens ever.

TAG Heuer: the undisputed global chronograph leader
TAG Heuer has accumulated five generations of resources and technology to complete the finest time-segmentation. Endless perfection requirements have made this Swiss brand become the leader of advanced chronographs-mechanical complexity has always been considered as the most precise consideration of the watchmaking industry. For example, TAG Heuer has obtained countless extraordinary technologies in the industry, from the 1/100 second micrograph fixing code computer in 1916 to the 2006 Geneva Watch Grand Prix winner Calibre360, the first mechanical watch to achieve 360,000 vibrations per hour.
Today, 7 unparalleled mechanical chronograph movements from TAG Heuer have achieved this peak achievement in sequence (Calibre 11 and 12, designed by Dibwa de Pla, Calibre 16 and 17, from ETA, 2009 New self-made Calibre 1887 launched in December, Calibre 36 and Calibre 360 ​​jointly developed with Zenith.
In order to maintain its leading position in the high-end watch category for a long time, TAG Heuer must diversify the ‘engines’ that supply these boutique power, regardless of performance or structure, and obtain a large number of movements at any time. Therefore, since the beginning of 2006, TAG Heuer has started to design and develop the Calibre 1887, which is an excellent precision and reliable automatic chronograph movement.
