Many of today’s big names have also appeared in the seconds jumping work: Rolex equipped with the Tru-Beat movement 1040, Audemars Piguet launched the Millennium series jumping seconds watch equipped with the movement 2905 in 2007, Omega Synchro-Beat introduced in the 1950s, Minute Decimale with 100 beats per minute introduced by Longines, Independent PAM00080 with Panerai equipped with Chezard movement, and Dancing watch with Chezard 7400 movement by Doxa.
Many people have such a prejudice that when they see a watch in the form of ‘One Second A Hop’, they call it ‘Quartz Watch’. This can be seen as the profound impact of the ‘Quartz Crisis’ of the 1960s and 1970s, or it can be considered a lack of understanding of the history of watches and clocks. In fact, the ‘second hop’ display is not the original of the ‘quartz watch’. Before the quartz technology appeared in the 1970s, the field of mechanical watchmaking had long been called ‘step’. Progressive structure of the progressive second hand. According to historical records, the earliest produced in 1850 left & mdash; & mdash; reveal the mechanical jump seconds display right pocket watch, has already found the figure of the jump seconds movement. Subsequently, this unique way of moving the second hand entered the ‘big eight’ pocket watch in the Chinese market in Switzerland frequently.
The first inspiration for the leap second device came from the ancient pendulum. The invention of the pendulum in the 17th century allowed people to measure time for the first time to the nearest second. It is also because of the appearance of the pendulum that people finally say goodbye to the era when there is only one hand on the clock dial and can only roughly count. The pendulum completes a complete motion of “forward” and “backward” in the sound of “drop” and “mdash” and “md”; it also marks the time for two seconds. The invention of the balance spring has replaced the pendulum and also created conditions for the further miniaturization of the clockwork.
With the further improvement of the accuracy of pocket watches, watchmakers began to consider displaying the rhythmic swing of ancient pendulums in pocket watches. ‘One second and one hop’ design ideas began to brew in the minds of watchmakers. However, the balance with extremely high swing frequency obviously cannot directly play the role of ‘pendulum’, which requires a new, independent mechanism, or it is driven by another complex mechanism (such as constant power).
What does & ldquo; jump second & rdquo ;:
The French original meaning of Jump Seconds is ‘Seconde Morte’, which is translated into English as ‘Dead Beat’, and some are called ‘Second Beat’. The word Beat itself implies a bit of ‘cleanliness’. Earlier Rolex had a skip-second display watch equipped with a 1040 self-winding movement named ‘Tru-Beat’, which also implied this meaning. Compared with the smooth second hand, the “second jump” display has more rhythmic dynamics and is more mechanical.
的 & ldquo; Hertz & rdquo; Origin:
Hertz (usually abbreviated as Hz) is a physical quantity that records the number of arc-shaped swings of an object in a unit time (such as 1 second), and usually represents a stable periodic phenomenon. Hertz’s English name comes from a great scientist, Heinrich Hertz. He confirmed the existence of radio waves in 1888, and also contributed greatly to electromagnetics, so the international unit system of frequency ‘Hertz’ was named after him.

Parmigiani KALPA2018 Montreux Jazz Festival Special Watch
   As always, Parmigiani launched the newly designed KALPA2018 Montreux Jazz Festival special watch, this time launched a total of 10 KALPA Montreux Jazz Festival special watches to help celebrate the 2018 Montreux Jazz Festival. The dials of the special watches reflect the theme of the festival: the Kalpa Grande Montreux Jazz Festival special men’s watch is decorated with a piano keyboard pattern on the edge of the dial; the Kalparisma Montreux Jazz Festival special ladies watch is set with gems on the edge of the dial. Among them, the alternating pattern of black and white keys is achieved through a coating process called ‘épargnage’ (protection). After satin processing, the Parmigiani dial craftsman will have to keep the pattern surface area clear and achieve the final design effect. Covering, and subsequently sandblasting the areas that are not protected by the “épargnage” coating process, creates black keys and keyboard gaps. It is this strong polishing technique that presents such a contrasting effect: the contrast between the two surface treatments, namely sandblasting and satin, makes the keys appear as if they were magically seen.

   These two Parmigiani KALPA2018 Montreux Jazz Festival special edition watches are limited to five each, and engraved with ‘MONTREUXJAZZFESTIVAL2018’ (2018 Montreux Jazz Festival) engraving on the back. Parmigiani has launched special Montreux Jazz Watches since 2007. These ten Kalpa Grande and Kalparisma watches are new members of many special Montreux Jazz Watches. They not only show the brand’s spirit of innovation, but also show their enthusiasm for participating in the Montreux Jazz Festival held every summer.

See how young luxury brands win hearts Hublot The next second of wisdom
Unconsciously, Hublot became the favorite of some people. One day, the employees of Hublot Shanghai store excitedly called Shen Qian, the brand manager of Hublot China, and said, ‘Sandy, do you know who is in our store? Faye Wong accompanied Li Yapeng to select the watch, named AllBlack series. & rdquo;
Compared to other brands on the global luxury watch list, Hublot, born in 1980, is too young. In 2008, it became a member of the LVMH Group and began its rapid expansion strategy. However, its expansion is not a surge in the number of stores, but an increase in brand awareness and reputation. Like its strategy in the European market, sponsoring large-scale events and launching related limited-edition products, celebrity effects, and charity have all become common methods for Hublot’s brand marketing.
Every watch brand has a marketing slogan
CEO Jean-Claude & middot; Beaver (Jean-ClaudeBiver) is the soul of Hublot. Thirty years ago, he successfully restored the old Swiss Blancpain Blancpain (later acquired by the Swatch Group). He was also invited to join the group, and then brought Omega into the high-speed commercialization road.
Jean-Claude & middot; Mr. Beaver, who took over Hublot in 2004, used Hubble’s BigBang series to subvert the watchmaking industry to make Hublot sing all the way, and also announced the arrival of Hublot’s revival era. In just five years, Hublot has launched a number of iconic watches, including the BigBang million-dollar series, the BigBang all-black series, and the MagBang series, which have attracted worldwide attention. At the same time, it has successfully ranked among the high-end watch brands.
Mr. Beaver has pioneered a marketing style in the industry, that is, every watch brand should have a slogan. Omega’s slogan is ‘Omega, mychoice’. With his help, Omega now enjoys a worldwide reputation.
The slogan of the Hublot watch is ‘The art of fusion’. Its fusion is first manifested in materials: Hublot is the first Swiss top watch brand to combine precious metals and natural rubber as raw materials. Its birth comes from watchmaking materials and unique aesthetic concepts interpreted by watches. In other words, a revolution has been launched in the watch industry. Hublot boldly uses more than four materials. Its products are the perfect fusion of precious metals such as zirconium, tantalum, magnesium and titanium with diamonds, rare gems, gold, platinum, ceramics, stainless steel and natural rubber.
Hublot watches currently have 7 stores in China. In Mr. Beaver’s view, when people own five watches, he will not buy the same style of products. ‘Hublot may not be your first watch, but it is most likely your last watch. & rdquo; He said.
Some people say that Hublot is very picky, and its target consumer group must have a stubborn personality, but it may not necessarily show it; it must have a unique vision and insist on its own subjective judgment; it will never show the brand LOGO , Will be pleased that others do not see the brand they wear.
Look what people have done for Hublot
西班牙 In Spain, Hublot is even called ‘King’s Watch’. Here’s a little story: One day, Mr. Beaver discovered that the Spanish king Juan Carlos had worn a Hublot in public for seven consecutive times. Mr. Beaver said to his colleague in charge of the Spanish market of Hublot: ‘Go to the king and he likes our watches so much to see if there is any opportunity for cooperation. & rdquo;
As a result, Hublot became the official chronograph watch of the Spanish King’s Cup, and launched a corresponding limited edition. The King of Spain also personally awarded Hublot watches to the winners of the various events in the regatta. Today, Hublot plays fiercely with many celebrities, Pavarotti, Maradona, Jet Li, Jia Zhangke, Han Han & hellip; & hellip;
The Olympic Games, Formula 1 race, World Cup, America’s Cup regatta, and American professional rugby are considered to be the world’s most watched and high-profile world-class events. In addition to the Olympics and American professional football, people can see Hublot in three other events.
In 2010, Hublot became the first official chronograph watch brand since the creation of the World Cup. Also during the World Cup last year, there was a figure that brought everyone’s attention to Hublot. He was the coach of the Argentine team Maradona.
There is also an interesting story inside: Mr. Beaver accidentally found that Maradona’s left and right hands were wearing two identical Hublot watches. This puzzled Mr Beaver. He asked someone to ask Maradona why he wanted to buy two identical Hublot watches.
Maradona responded to him: he has two daughters, and his love for both daughters is the same, so he must buy two identical watches. After deep contact with Maradona, Hublot also made limited edition watches for Maradona.
