Corum – New Bubble designed by artist Elisabetta Fantone Low Price Replica

In keeping with Fantone’s singular style, her work references and reimagines a face that is recognizable to all, the Mona Lisa. “In my latest work I was stimulated by some of the world’s greatest artists of yesterday and today,” Fantone writes.

The artist’s inspiration aligns well with Corum Bubble’s modern twist of vintage fashion. First introduced in 2000, the Bubble was modeled after the 1960 Rolex Deep Sea Special, an experimental dive watch which kept ticking from the bottom of the ocean and back. Out of this striking innovation, a new style was born with a thick sapphire crystal enclosing and magnifying the center dial. This creates an optical illusion through the gem-like lens which encapsulates the uniquely original designs.

Although Fantone often finds fuel for her work in the pop art of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s, for this piece, she traveled deeper in time to find the face that would fit the frame. Looking out from a pane of crystal, the tilted head and the familiar smile of Mona Lisa is counterbalanced by a white chest shrouded in a tapestry of colorful collage. The option of a silver or vibrant purple watchcase playfully compliment the image, while the silver curve of the hands delicately trace the design.

There’s a great deal of debate on the subject of watches as artwork. Although a watch needn’t be art to be of notice, I’m a firm believer in their capability to straddle the boundaries of purpose, shape, and philosophy where appropriate. In the case of those Corum Bubble watches, it is apparently a brand’s attempt at creating a pure objet d’art. It is true, the Corum Bubble watches are not love anything else the brand makes (or much like anything anyone leaves, for that matter), however they’re intended to be beautiful items, that is something that they have in common with other timepieces bearing the Corum logo.The dedication to the sphere in these bits is staggeringly unwavering. In my opinion, this group works only because it is so unconcerned with anything but the most loyal realisation of its own unique idea. To take advantage of this re-release chance, Corum has partnered with famous cymbal producer Paiste. Paiste have been enlisted to create a exceptional dial for the Corum Bubble Paiste special edition watch. The dial of this Corum Bubble Paiste is a very small cymbal created by Paiste at precisely the same way they would make a full size cymbal. I am quietly confident it would work as intended were it removed from the home and attached to some kit, but even if it’s only for show, it looks great.

 

 

Innovation – Floating on air Replica At Lowest Price

Like all good sleights of hand, the illusion is both perfect and intriguing. A movement floats in the middle of a watch case that is generously transparent so as to heighten the sense of mystery. Magic is generally about tricks, cables, professional deftness, whether in watchmaking or on stage. Conjurers capable of these incredible tricks devote their technical and sometimes historical expertise to making their mechanisms appear to levitate.

Illusion

Magicians use secret panels, trap doors and diversions to muddle spectators’ senses. The watchmaker’s basic material in this domain is sapphire. Not the blue or pink gemstone used in jewelry, but rather a perfectly transparent man-made form of sapphire. Generally used to make scratch-resistant watch glasses, it has found its way into watches as a mainplate, as bridges – meaning a virtually invisible structure playing the same role as steel or brass. Blancpain used it to create the chassis of its L-Evolution Flying Sapphire Carrousel, but renounced total transparency by metallizing the watch glass in order to enhance legibility. While Corum Watches Wiki Replica went a step further with its Panoramic Tourbillon fitted with an invisible mainplate and bridges, they were still distinguish- able because they were juxtaposed. It was not until the historical specialist of this illusion reentered the scene that the magic truly worked its spell.

Mystery

This providential Houdini is of course Cartier. In the 1920s, the brand had introduced the “mystery” clocks whose hands appeared to be floating in thin air. They were in fact perched on rock crystal rings guided by a mechanism hidden in the body of these clocks. Cartier revived this concept in 2013. Now adapted to the wristwatch format, the intensity of the illusion has been heightened ever since. The latest model is called Rotonde de Cartier Astromystérieux. Its entire movement appears to be placed between two layers of air, at the very heart of the watch. Even those in the know still scratch their heads and wonder how it really works.

Corum is a Swiss luxury watch brand and was founded in 1955. The most popular watch show is that the Admiral’s Cup but Corum has also had success with the coin watch for instance. This timepiece was introduced in the 1960s and was famous because of its manual wind or quartz motion inside a $20 or a $10 coin. Corum is also admired for world premiers where each year limited editions are sold out shortly once they are available on the market. Severin Wunderman acquired Corum in 2000. This past year, the Swiss brand introduced a redesigned variant in a more traditional round event. At this year’s Baselworld view fair, Corum introduced yet another variation of the Golden Bridge, in a brand new, Art Deco-influenced rectangular instance. The baguette-shaped, linear-oriented, manual-winding motion, Caliber CO113, is observable in the middle of the open air and boasts a high amount of engraving and finishes on its 18k gold plate and bridges. It is surrounded on either side by 18k gold structures representing six Roman numerals whose curved shapes and rivets call into mind the structure of a bridge. The motion’s timekeeping functions are on full screen, together with the spring barrel at 6 o’clock feeding energy to the escapement at 12 o’clock. Caliber CO113 has a frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz) and a power reserve of 40 hours.

A fakir’s favorite piece of equipment is a wire, a principle that inspired Richard Mille. While the main purpose of the RM 27-01 was to achieve extreme lightness and shock-resistance, it has also explored a whole new avenue. Its movement is secured to the case by a set of cables (just 0.35mm in diameter), pulleys and tensioners. Merely hiding them would have been enough to make the caliber seem to float.

Trompe-l’oeil

There is another method that is apparently simple, yet difficult to implement : it involves giving pride of place to emptiness and calls for movements with distinctive structures. The baguette- type caliber of Corum’s Golden Bridge models is so narrow that it can be held to either end of the case, within which it looks amazingly free. The alternative is an ultra-skeletonized movement, such as that of the Tourbillon Volant Poinçon de Genève by Louis Vuitton. The structure of the caliber is slender and concealed beneath a dial and a tourbillon. The floating effect is achieved by clever means that are traditional yet mesmerizing.
