What's so special about universal watches?
Under the aura of many watches, the entry-level watches of IWC don't seem to shine very well in recent years. As a strong brand of bezel, IWC is actually very strong, but it was downgraded after being acquired by Richemont Group, and its movement configuration was reduced. Let's take a look at several high-end technologies in the world.

1) nations lower the threshold of perpetual calendar.

Before the emergence of the world, the perpetual calendar has been in the hands of a few high-end watchmaking brands. The design is exquisite and complicated, and the cost is expensive. The watches made are not expensive. Due to the low output, perpetual calendars can only be used by nobles, and only a few watchmakers can make them. 1985, IWC adopted a more concise watchmaking method, popularized perpetual calendar technology, lowered the threshold of perpetual calendar, and enabled ordinary watch fans to start.

2) IWC revolutionized the diving circle.

Rotating diving ring is one of the important symbols of sports diving table. It is used to record the time when the watch is underwater. Before IWC, many brands used external rotation. In that year, IWC launched an ocean timing diving watch, which broke the tradition of only diving outer ring and set up a rotating inner ring inside.

3) Bird-by-bird escapement system

IWC introduced the ultra-long power watch very early. At that time, the automatic winding movement mode adopted by most brands was a two-way steering device. On this basis, Wan Guo went a step further, adopting woodpecker winding system, pulling the winding sprocket alternately through pawls, making winding more efficient, convenient, with lower kinetic energy consumption, unique and easy to realize 7-day kinetic energy reserve. The disassembly and maintenance are more convenient.

4) Promoters of large-diameter watches

In the last century, two Portuguese businessmen customized two large navigation tables and started the Portuguese series. Portugal with large diameter is very popular now. In addition, after 1939 Portugal, Betaufino also adopted a large size. At that time, the dial diameter of these two watches was above 40mm, which was completely independent of the trend. After a long time of certification, the atmosphere is at the forefront, and now it has become a popular trend.

5) The pioneer of the combination of ceramics and titanium.

It is a tradition to innovate all over the world, constantly trying to make watches with new materials. Taking materials as an example, as early as 1980, an advanced way of combining aerospace titanium watchcases with ceramics was created. Ceramic has high wear resistance and hardness, and titanium is light and comfortable. Set a benchmark for other brands to watch scientific and technological materials.

Summary of tips: In the past, all countries kept trying on the road of watchmaking. Now it seems that all countries are behind closed doors, and there is nothing they can do. The positioning of Richemont Group has restricted the development of all countries. Don't forget, Richemont Group is returning Vacheron Constantin, Lan Zhi and Roger Dube to other countries and giving all its resources to other countries. So where did you put Big Brother?

What's so special about universal watches? Actually, I'm a little confused when I suddenly see this question. I really haven't thought about how to answer at the moment, but after careful thinking, I found some special things about IWC. First of all, there are many popular styles in all countries, no matter which price or style, they are all popular and can be highly selective. Secondly, it is also very important. The world value is super high. I think this is one of the important reasons for its popularity.

So today we will introduce you to several high-value and representative international watches.

Phuket
