Vacheron Constantin launches Les Cabinotiers Grande Complication Bacchus

The decoration is exquisite and complicated.

Vacheron Constantin luxury starts the new year with Les Cabinotiers Grande Complication Bacchus. Bacchus is a large double-sided complication that is part of the brand’s annual collection of unique timepieces. Bacchus is one of the most complicated watches produced by Vacheron Constantin, thanks to cal. 2755 GC16 is composed of more than 800 parts.

Although the Geneva watchmaker used variants of the same caliber in its past watches, due to its case decoration, including hand engraving and gem inlays, a vine-patterned relief was formed on both sides of the case, even when It is also unusual among its siblings.

Bacchus is a grand complication that makes a statement, and belongs to the same category of watches as the Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon. It is very large and very complicated, and it is impossible to miss it on the wrist.

Although a one-off creation, Bacchus is not Vacheron Constantin’s first double-sided complication. In fact, the past few models, especially the 2018 Phoenix, contain variants of the same caliber as Bacchus. But Bacchus has a unique decoration and is in fact one of the most exquisite decorations to date.

Vacheron Constantin’s large complications are often carved, but Bacchus seems to be the first — or at least the first public display — to use gems as part of the carved pattern. Although the gorgeous style is not for everyone, it is impressive in terms of craftsmanship and execution. Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers Grande Complication Bacchus

The brand will not disclose the price of this watch, but similar models in the past are priced between 2-3 million U.S. dollars, and it will not be easily affordable. In other words, this kind of watch usually sells very quickly, especially in the past few years, Vacheron Constantin has organized suitcase exhibitions in major cities around the world. Or maybe Bacchus is designed for a client who likes drinking and complex functions.

The fantasy of a winemaker
The 18k rose gold case has a diameter of 47 mm and a height of 19.1 mm, providing plenty of engraving space for almost all surfaces. The bezel, lugs and back are all engraved with repeated vine patterns, but the most delicate decoration is on the side of the case.

Case decoration requires the exquisite skills of engravers and gem setters, and it takes about 300 hours to complete. Both sides of the case are embossed, engraved with vines and rubies, of which about 113, with a total weight of 1.84 carats.

The process starts with the outline of the engraved pattern and the groove of the ruby. Then, the gem setter sets the cabochon-cut ruby, and then returns the case to the engraver for the final step to complete the engraving by adding clarity and depth. Discount cheap watch

In the big case, it is cal. 2755 is a manual winding movement, derived from the movement developed for the Tour de l’Ile. This is a super complication created for the 250th anniversary of Vacheron Constantin in 2005.

Although simpler than the Tour de l’Ile movement, cal 2755 still has a long list of complications-explaining the number of its 839 parts-including a perpetual calendar with a time equation, a minute repeater and a star chart on the back.

The front of the watch also contains a perpetual calendar, power reserve and tourbillon, while the back contains a star map and sidereal time display.

De Bethune DB25 perpetual calendar green

New color scheme and materials for De Bethune QP watches

When it comes to describing any De Bethune fake watch, people usually use several superlative descriptive words. For example, the level of detail can only be matched by a few people, if any. This innovative independent watchmaker is very capable of creating a fusion of traditional watchmaking expertise and forward-looking technological advancements. It does this in a very unique style, and it can be divided into two “faces” if you want. The more classic and traditional side of the brand is the DB25 series, which now launched the new De Bethune DB25 Perpetual Calendar Green during Dubai Watch Week.

The green new DB25 Perpetual Calendar is built on De Bethune’s existing structure. They have done DB25 QP before, with silver, anthracite or salmon pink dials and white or rose gold and platinum cases. This new version has not only changed in color, but also in material, because the case is now made of titanium. It has a diameter of 44 mm, a height of 11.1 mm, and has a hollow integrated lug that can be seen on all DB25 models. Sapphire crystals on the front and back cover the dial and movement.

The dial of the new De Bethune DB25 Perpetual Calendar uses a very beautiful green hue, similar to the color we recently saw on the DB27 Titan Hawk. It uses a handmade guilloche pattern in the middle part of the dial, which is divided into 12 parts. The outer edge of the dial is a second guilloché pattern, which is connected by curved hour and minute hands. All scales, including embossed Roman numerals, are made of silver. The polished steel curved hands only indicate hours and minutes, not seconds.

De Bethune DB25 Perpetual Calendar displays the week and month through two windows at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock respectively. Two date and moon phase subdials with integrated leap year indication are arranged vertically. The moon phases are decorated with stars in a typical De Bethune manner. The 3D spherical moon used for display is accurate to one lunar day every 122 years. men watches cheap

It is equipped with the brand’s internal caliber DB2324, which is composed of no less than 425 components, including 47 gems. The movement uses De Bethune’s iconic titanium and platinum rotors, which can be seen from the back. It is also equipped with several innovations that De Bethune is famous for, such as titanium and platinum balance wheels, De Bethune hairsprings with flat end curves, and silicon escape wheels. Running at a frequency of 28,800vph, it can provide 120 hours of power reserve when the barrel is fully wound. The time and date are adjusted through the crown, and the remaining QP indications are adjusted through the corrector in the strap. The finishing effect is exactly what you would expect from De Bethune; spectacular!

De Bethune DB25 Perpetual Calendar Green is paired with an olive green textile strap or a cognac brown leather strap, both with a polished titanium pin buckle.

HYT Watch-H3

After shocking the world of mechanical clocks with H1 and H2 models, the HYT copy Watches team (also known as hydromechanical watchmakers) is ready to marvel at the time indicated by H3 and its linear fluid again.

The 62 mm x 41 mm rectangular case is made of charcoal gray PVD coated titanium and platinum, micro-sandblasted, equipped with a highly complex movement, characterized by linear time description, and the design is opposite to the bellows.

The first one, in the upper left corner, drives the progress of the fluid, thereby driving the time display. Its counterpart on the right compensates for this progression in the capillaries.

This glass tube with a diameter of less than one millimeter runs in a vacuum and contains two fluids, just like what happens in the H1 and H2 models: the first (aqueous) yellow fluid is used for timekeeping; the second (based on viscosity) The translucent fluid faces the meniscus and separates them.

The hour of the day is indicated by a rotating dial with 4 sides arranged along the time display tube. Each of these faces has a 6-hour scale, making it possible to display 24 hours of the day (from 00 to 23). Directly below, from left to right are the balance wheel, retrograde minute indicator and crown position indicator (H means time setting, R means winding).

HYT H3 is probably the most complicated timepiece in the brand’s series. Two barrels can be seen through the sapphire crystal back cover, which can provide a power reserve of 170 hours or 7 days. The power reserve indicator is also located on the back. The vibration frequency of hand wound movement is 21,600 times per hour. replica watches for men
