Fine watchmaking symbolizes the polished craftsmanship and strength of a watch

The reason why top quality watches are worth a lot of money in the business is that they are made up of many problematic aspects of development. In the same way that the center of a watch is important in its composition, there are multiple technical criteria that can be managed to assess the level of the watch. While the accuracy of the timekeeping is a basic requirement, the structure of the center and the escapement, the finishing of the center, and so on are all national criteria for considering the value of a watch. We have the impression that many watch experts wear an eyepiece with them, and one of the purposes of this is to allow students to observe the finishing process of the movement at any time. One of the purposes of this is that the student can observe the finishing of the center of the watch at any time and determine the value of the watch.

When it comes to the most direct and universal observation of the core of the student appreciation, generally need our country will be from its polishing and finishing technology as the core starting point. The polishing and grinding requirements of the core parts can be roughly analyzed and divided into the following two categories: one is the practical polishing and grinding, such as the processing method of the front tooth flap of the core gear is one from the reduction of friction and strengthen the lubricating oil adsorption force and other reasons, although inconspicuous, but very important; the other is the decorative polishing in order to environmentally beautify the core ornamental value of the premise of the use of polishing, usually found in the core of the plate, bridge, automatic oscillating weight, and so on. The other is decorative polishing in the premise of environmental beautification and ornamental use value of the movement, usually seen in the heart plate, bridge, automatic oscillating weight and so on, due to the absence of these parts in the milling molding pattern is relatively simple and rough, although it has a substantial educational function, but in terms of the appearance (appearance) can not be directly led to the face of different customers.

Moreover, in such a small space as the movement parts, if you can manually modify a variety of beautiful texture, not only can get a pleasant aesthetic experience, but also can reflect the technical strength of each watch brand. In today's sophisticated automated production, TUDOR Royal M28500-0006the "craftsmanship" of hand engraving is definitely a value that is difficult to quantify, and fine decorative polishing and chamfering in the center of a machine tool becomes the true value of a premium workbench. However, the process of polishing a watch center is too numerous to mention, so let's take a look and talk about what polishing is.

Chamfering Process Bevel

The beveling process is simply cutting a cross-section between metal plates at a right angle of 45 °, then smoothing and polishing. The craftsman should first apply pressure so that the angle of the cross-section is gradually cut inwards, the force is very important, too much or too little force will cause problems with deformation of the plate and insufficient angle. The new section is then ground and polished, with attention being paid to such details as its sides being parallel and the surface being equally smooth, so the chamfering process is very time-consuming, and the slightest inattention is equivalent to having to start all over again. The downward subdivision of the chamfering process can also be divided into rounded chamfers around the jewel bearings on the substrate and external straight-line chamfers (usually used to modify two externally connected flat panels), and internal bevels for the two inward converging panel edges in a straight, sharply defined line, with internal beveling being at the top of the scale in terms of manufacturing difficulty, and being able to show rounded chamfers perfectly is very rare.

Geneva a corrugated Coté de Geneve

Covered by a transparent base on the center substrate of the machine the easiest and most common polishing decoration that is not Côtes de Geneve is. This type of grinding is characterized by grinding equally spaced fine arcs arranged in a line on the surface of the plywood, like water waves. In the case of Geneva waviness, for example, the craftsman uses a brass cylinder with sandpaper as a tool at the front end and then begins to apply light pressure to the previously sanded part such as a substrate or plywood, leaving a mark in the vertical movement of the part, paying attention not only to the strength, but even the speed of the tool to keep it constant, so that the internal fluctuations of the dense arcs present a neat parallelism; although Geneva waviness is a common use for the heart of the machine is a common method of polishing machine hearts, it does not mean that it is the only rigid form of expression, otherwise the beauty of the decoration would be lost,TUDOR Black Bay Chrono M79360N-0002 as every machine heart would look very similar.

Pearl Pattern Perlé (Fish Scale Pattern)

The pearl pattern, also known as the pearl dot mill pattern, the fish scale pattern, and the cloud pattern, is commonly known by a variety of names. The scale used by the brand is probably the most common sanded texture. Pearl grains are usually used on lower-profile movements or in the center of plywood at the top end, with less exposure. Pearl graining involves carving rounded grains that overlap each other on a metal part; the effect is not only like fine pearls, which overlap each other to form a scalloped combination, but also like scales on a fish. The craftsman uses a wooden pole as a tool and covers the front end with a tool such as sandpaper or abrasive paste.TUDOR Royal M28503-0008 The wooden rod is then rotated back and forth to form a single dot pattern with the following lines usually following a pattern of two circles overlapping their centers to create a parallel aesthetic shape. Additionally, pearl particles can also be formed in different sizes due to the size of the wood rod used by the artisan. The width of the visible portion of the area can be used to select the relative grain diameters, and sometimes several pearls of different sizes can be found on the same center.
