In addition, in the large and complex watchmaking workshops in the Jura Valley, Blancpain has a brand-owned art master studio that is hard to reach in the industry. It can independently complete all traditional and complicated craftsmanship including gold carving, enamel, and gem setting. , And the use of unique Damascus gold, copper and other unique process innovations applied to watches.

More than 120 years ago, Audemars Piguet has begun to produce complex clock devices. Today, Audemars Piguet is one of the few watch factories in Switzerland that still manufactures its own movements. Today, I will introduce to you the movements of Audemars Piguet perpetual calendar, moon phases, dual time zones and other functional watches.
Audemars Piguet Sunrise & Sunset Movement

 The Audemars Piguet Calibre 2120/2808 model is the world’s first watch movement to display sunrise and sunset in consideration of both latitude and longitude. It is calibrated according to the location chosen by the wearer. The sunrise and sunset times are the times when the sun actually rises and falls at sea level, and conforms to the general concept of winter time.
Audemars Piguet Camera Core

 The Audemars Piguet astronomical moon phase display allows the wearer to appreciate the change in profit and loss of the Earth’s satellite. The watch will continue to run without any further manual adjustments over a period of 122 years and 44 days.
Audemars Piguet Time Equation Movement

 The time interval for the Sun to cross the meridian of the same location twice in a year is not the same. Only four times a year is exactly 24 hours. Other time intervals are longer or shorter than 24 hours. Based on the latitude and longitude of the wearer’s specified location, the time equation represents the difference between the mean solar time and the apparent solar time (true solar time).
Audemars Piguet dual time zone movement

 In 1990, Audemars Piguet created the first watch driven by a single self-winding caliber calibre 2229/2845, which displays the time in the second time zone.
Audemars Piguet & Date Movement

The simplest complication on a watch is the date display. Day of the week & date dual display adds the display of the day to the complication of the date display.
Audemars Piguet Perpetual Calendar Movement

 The design and production of the perpetual calendar watch was a cornerstone of the founding partnership between Jules Louis Audemars and Edward Auguste Piguet in 1875. This type of timepiece is a major feature of the brand’s current work. The perpetual calendar is undoubtedly one of the main complications of Audemars Piguet’s mastery. It can display the day of the week, month, and year, while taking into account the length of different days of the month and leap years. This means that the wearer does not need to make any manual adjustments before March 1, 2100.
 It is these well-made and exquisitely crafted movements that have created the quality of Audemars Piguet watches.

The bright and bright moon in the vast night sky has been chanted by countless people, whether it is the ‘calling a white jade plate’ in the mouth of Lixian Li or the ‘solitary moon ring in the bright air’ by Zhang Ruoxu, the dance steps reveal The silence, romance and mystery of the moon and sky give infinite reverie. Jaquet Droz invites the bright moon again this fall, bringing the mother-of-pearl moon phase watch and the ivory large open flame enamel watch. The round face of the watch is like the most poetic dream, and the most elegant interpretation of the moon The quality is exposed, and the person is shocked.

  As a veritable pioneering work in the horological industry, Jacques Dro Moon Phase Watches, in addition to displaying the date, month, and year, are also equipped with moon phase profit and loss display for all astronomers, explorers and artists. On the dial, a moon inspired by a nineteenth-century engraving print appears behind the disc with a smiley face. Day after day, the moon phase indicator shows the latest moon phase in the early morning hours, guarding this remarkable timepiece in its unique form. With outstanding mechanical properties and pleasing visual enjoyment, the watch shows its extremely pure and extreme beauty. Eight glittering stars embellish it, and its design is inspired by the lucky numbers of the watch factory, but also by Jacques Dro’s precious star logo.

  The Eclipse Mother-of-Pearl watch also presents complex timepiece functions in new dimensions. This iconic watch has been redesigned with a 39mm diameter to meet the expectations of brand followers.
  In addition to the time, date, day of the week, and month display, the golden moon round at six o’clock with the opening and closing of white mother-of-pearl reveals the moon. The moon appears or disappears, and the light and shade overlap until it disappears completely. The entire dial is dotted with a beautiful view of the sky with 8 stars (8 is the lucky number of the brand).
  The light of diamonds inlaid in the white gold case and the exquisite dial pattern of this new moon phase watch complement each other and sparkle, giving the fans of poetic watches an elegant charm that has been washed through the chain.

  The Eclipse Ivory Enamel watch is a tribute to Jacques Droda’s pinnacle of high-end watches and craftsmanship in a pure and acute aesthetic perspective, in the shock of classicist patterns and patterns. The first is the ‘Grand Feu’ dial. The brand’s know-how born in time and night requires the craftsmen’s extreme focus and precise control of the weather, which are essential for casting this dial, which is unique in color and texture. On this beautiful ‘white paper’, 8 stars and a bright moon are engraved in red gold. Design inspiration from the 18th century exemplifies the origin of the brand and its preference for decorative arts since the Enlightenment. The beautiful stars in the night are faintly visible behind a white onyx carved hairspring adjuster, bringing the intricate poetry to every transformation of the moon phase display.
  This visual feast of Seiko’s complex timepieces comes with endless luxury. The day and month display windows are located on the upper part of the dial, while an elegant snake-shaped hand with a crescent on top indicates the date along a circle of red gold case. The slender hour and minute hands also rotate in the same path, and the sharp contours and classic lines highlight the outstanding harmony of this watch.
