There are two tools to show grade and show off Wealth: cars and watches.
A car allows men to experience the thrill of speed, but can not be seen everywhere. Watches are not.
The "2012 Basel world watch and Jewellery Fair", which has been closed recently, is not only the top event of the world's clocks and watches, but also a feast for men to find their own "that one".
The most intimate sweetheart of a man
Men's hobbies are always related to accuracy, sharpness, speed and technology.
In the era of cold weapons, men loved iron cutting swords. In the age of high technology, men were obsessed with iPhone and iPad, but they were meticulously built as jewelry is the best woman's lover.
Wrist watch
It is also the most intimate lover of men, especially those with noble temperament and long history.
The important reason is that although there are many kinds of men's luxury goods, the ornaments that can be admitted into the rooms are rather limited.
Moreover, if the taste is good, collecting watches can add value.
A Patek Philippe Limited Edition Calibre has sold over 892004 US dollars for auction in the past 5 million years.
Men have loved watches for a long time.
Over the past century, the watch has become a symbol of man's status, status and taste, and has become a great toy for celebrities and celebrities.
The modern watch story took place in 1904.
One day, French jeweler Lewis Francois Katia received a complaint as a pilot friend Alberto Santos-Dumont, saying that it was very difficult to dig out pocket watch from his pocket when he flew an airplane, hoping Cartire could solve this problem.
Cartire thought hard for a long time, and came up with the method of using the strap and buckle to attach the pocket watch to the wrist. This is the first modern wrist watch in the world.
After the outbreak of the first World War in 1914, the military became more aware of the importance of "free hand" watches.
In fact, when choosing the form, men are very concerned about the celebrity effect. What watches the celebrities wear will become a topic of their leisure time, and will also become a benchmark for them to buy watches.
President Obama has always loved Heuer's 1500 series of two color diving tables. He can wear this watch in many photos, especially when he rolls up his sleeves in the election.
In August 2007, Obama's security guard gave him a Jorg Gray 6500 on his 46 th birthday.
Since then, Obama has been wearing it to various election ceremonies, inauguration ceremonies, and signed the first presidential decree.
In 2008, at the presidential inauguration dance, Obama and his wife Michel danced together. The black dial Jorg Gray 6500 was hidden in the left sleeve of his left hand.
Because Obama, the ordinary Jorg Gray 6500 also triggered a craze for men.
In fact, Jorg Gray 6500 is not a list, it sells for only 325 dollars, and Obama wore this one of the 50 Jorg Gray 6500 purchased by the secret service.
For the toy watch, many men also showed a sense of persistence. Some people even retained the habit of using mechanical watches and regular chord chord, and their operation was as sacred as ritual.
The most expensive price
Diamond Watch
For hundreds of years, the development of elutriation has made the watch a huge family. It has a set of rules that are totally different from the real world.
Its elegance, magnificence and mystery, kill people's great money and time, and make people feel the joy they cannot extricate themselves.
The Basel world watch and Jewellery Fair, called "watch Oscar", has always been regarded as the vane of the global luxury market.
This year is the fortieth session of the exhibition. More than 1800 exhibitors from clocks, jewelry, gemstones and related industries, and more than 100 thousand visitors from 100 countries gathered in Basel this March to display innovative products and get the latest trends and design concepts.
In a 8 day event, a $5 million worth of diamond watch has won the most expensive wrist watch this year, with only one global limit.
In the world of celebrities and watches, Yu Bo is not a big brand.
Perhaps because of this, it will only take advantage of the sword to grab the eyeballs in super luxury.
The table is made of 1282 square diamonds with a total weight of more than 100 carats. Each process consumes more than 14 experts' working days, including 12 diamond cutters in 7 months, 5 inlays in 7 months.
In addition, the whole process reverses the process from design to processing of the traditional jewelry watch, and the diamond cutter is directly involved in the original design to find the best matching diamond with the watchcase, dial and strap complex structure.
The watch is almost entirely paved with beautiful diamonds. Each diamond is carefully chosen, giving each other the best quality, and presents the most exquisite temperament and Guang Hua of the top jewellery watches.
It is said that it took only a year to pick diamonds from all the world's original stones.
The diamonds are all of the highest quality, and the quality and color of all diamonds must be uniform.
In order to ensure the perfect integration of diamond and wrist watches, several large diamonds with GIA certification have been completed by the cutting masters from New York with more than 40 years of experience and prestige, so as to ensure that these diamonds are of uniform style and have the same "signature".
The advent of the top diamond watch also indicates a major trend in the wrist watch industry, that is, more and more top watches are beginning to be linked to top jewellery, and diamonds, natural jewellery and precious metals have become indispensable elements of the top watch.
From this Basel exhibition, we can see that jewellery watch has become a classic brand of Patek Philippe, Longines, Baoji, Bao Po, Jacques de la, Rolex, Chopin and other advanced watch brands.
Fashion jewelry
Today's watches and timekeeping functions have long been weakened, such as tourbillons, calendars, jewelry inlays, ultra-thin movements, all kinds of new materials and technology elements, which have made a small watch become a superb fashion art, and the clock industry is also where many fashionable and jewellery brands cross the border.
Bvlgari has launched two new Serpenti features, enamel, Diamond Spiral bracelet and Papillon Voyageur timezone watches.
The former is a beautiful jewellery watch. It is made of 18 grams of gold, and is signed and plucent, surrounded by a double bag structure, wrapped in jade black or eggshell white ceramic bracelet, and inlaid with bright cutting diamonds.
The Bvlgari Serpenti is designed to be a Snake Bracelet Watch, with 6 cutting diamonds on each side of the snake head, with black sapphires or white pearl mother rings, and 12 diamonds shining on it.

As the Italy fashion brand, Fendi also brings 4 watches, of which Crazy Carats is decorated with 6 pairs of 12 jewels and can rotate with the crown. The dial is 18K white gold inlaid top VVS level gem, which is enchanting.
Tourbillon makes the mechanical watch travel more accurately, but a wrist watch with 3 Tourbillon is rare.
Harry Winston, known as the "king of diamonds", brought 3 watches of the Histoire de Tourbillon epic Tourbillon designed by the tourbillon, which limited to 20.
In fact, before the birth of the first modern watch, there were jewelry watches in the world in 1810.
That's the age of a pocket watch, but the famous watch maker Baoji should spend 2 years making the first bracelet watch in the world.
Then in 1868, Patek Philippe made a jewelry watch for a Hungarian aristocrat, which is the world's first jewel watch.
Although its decoration means greater timekeeping function, wearing a pocket watch in the wrist has an unprecedented impact on the modern watch industry.
"Artifact" VS Pocket Watch
2012 Basel table show, and many eye-catching "artifact" has attracted worldwide attention.
They either have unique designs, or carry legendary stories, and are endowed with special significance.
The concept of "Antti Kehela" is one of the leading "artifact".
Its "Antti Kehela mechanism" was inspired by a mechanical device salvaged from the deep sea in 150-100 BC in 1901.
Because of this mechanical device, Yu Yu spent $50 million on research and development expenses, and produced 4 concept tables.
This is the first time that the watch industry has drawn inspiration from ancient civilization.
Another "artifact" is the Chinese calendar of the Po Po.
Despite the recent fashion trend of "Chinese style", the Chinese characters on the wrist watch are rare. This watch allows us to find familiar Chinese characters on the wrist watch: "Paris", "Bangkok" and "Tokyo".
At the same time, with the new models, new ideas and new technologies developing, there are some ancient pocket watches in Basel exhibition in 2012, which emanated the inherent temperament.
Anita's Enamel watch and Chanel Camellia watch made for Hermes are all rare clocks in the world.
Among them, the Hermes enamel table technology represents the highest achievement of the modern enamel table, and is the highest embodiment of Anita's art.
Technological aesthetics and dragon culture
Over the past more than 30 years, many clocks and brands have made efforts to revolve around the technology of light energy that is full of future sense.
In this Basel, CITIZEN has presented two concepts of light kinetic energy, Eco-Drive Luna and Eco-Drive Nova. Its dreamy shape shows the pcendental charm of technology aesthetics.
The watch can absorb any visible light to drive the watch and emit light from inside to outside.
It adopts
new materials
The "light" that makes free dancing is like the spirit leaping on the dial, and finally these star like dazzling rays converge into two clusters of light beam pointers.
With the passage of time, the 60 diamonds in the ceramic ring will be lit up one by one, and the wrist watch will be like a full moon.
Today's Basel exhibition is no longer a grand gathering of Europeans, and it is also an increasing number of Chinese faces.
Official data show that in 2011, the number of Swiss watch exports reached a record breaking 30 million, an increase of 19.2% in 2010 compared with 2010 sales, and 19 billion 300 million Swiss francs. The Asian market is the biggest contributor to this growth, and more than half of Swiss watches are sold to Asia, the best of which is the Chinese market.
Many high-end watch brands also seek to move closer to China in design.
In 2012, it was the Chinese dragon year. At the end of 2011, many brands launched more than 50 dragon theme watches.
The Basel exhibition, in the collection of the first tier international brand venues, Chinese face watches are more widely seen.
Jacques Pedro and Bao Po and even the exhibition stand are full of Chinese customs. Before Jacques Pedro's exhibition area, there are artisans on the spot demonstrating the enamel drawing process of the dragon totem dial.
