Το 2019 άλλαξαν τα πάντα στο χώρο του αγαπημένος μας χόμπι.
Διάλεξα, να έχω σαν αφετηρία, αυτής της νέας εποχής τα 50 χρόνια της Omega από το φεγγάρι. Με μια δυνατή εκστρατεία, που αναμφίβολα, έπιασε τόπο, η Omega από μια δυνατή εταιρία, αγαπημένης σε όλα τα φόρουμ στο κόσμο, εκτοξεύτηκε στη στρατόσφαιρα ,τα ρολόγια έχουν μπει εδώ και καιρό στο κλαμπ των πολύ ακριβώς ρολογιών, και κατά πόδας ακολούθησαν οι εταιρίες που τους έπαιρνε να ακολουθήσουν. (IWC, Breitling, Tag Heuer κτλ)
Απρόβλεπτα εντελώς,σε όλο αυτό το νέο τοπίο, ήρθε ο κορονοιος και το εδραιωσε με τις on line αγορές που έκανε το καταναλωτικό κοινό.
Σε όλες αυτές τις αλλαγές που τις βιωσαμε παρέα,έγινε η πιο απροσδόκητη αλλαγή που έχει βιώσει η ωρολογοποία εδώ και πάρα πολλά χρόνια.
Ο κόσμος πλέον δεν ήθελε ένα ακριβό purpose ρολόι. Ο κόσμος ήθελε το ρολόι που φοράει να "δείχνει " τα λεφτά του.
Ένα όνομα, το πιο δυνατό όνομα όλων το έχει καταφέρει εδώ και χρόνια .Ρολεξ.
Πάμε στο ζουμί της υπόθεσης.
Cartier, Chopard, Dior, Leica, Ferre και αρκετά άλλα επώνυμα brands, όχι στα ρολόγια, αντιμετώπισαν την νέα εποχή δίνοντας μας ακριβώς αυτό που "θέλαμε ".
Πανάκριβα ρολόγια,φτιαγμένα με υψηλή αισθητική, με τη λογική αψεγάδιαστης ποιότητας και να φέρνουν προς το κόσμημα...
Προσωπικά, όλες αυτές τις αλλαγές τις θεωρώ καλοδεχουμενες, αν εξαιρέσουμε το οικονομικό.
Το αγαπημένο μας πάθος πλέον έχει καθιερωθεί σε κοσμο που δεν το ήξεραν καν.
Δεν θέλω να γράψω άλλα για να το συζητήσουμε παρέα.

Δεν ξερω από πού αντλεί τεχνολογία όλη αυτη η καταιγίδα από επώνυμους οικους μοδας που παρουσιαζουν τόσο ακριβά και πολυτελή ρολόγια , τα περισσοτερα διαφορετικα από το κλασσικο και πανεμορφα
Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Chanel, Polo κλπ
Καποια μαλιστα από αυτα βραβευονται πχ. hermes

From the mid-1930s, Hermès employed Swiss watchmaker Universal Genève as the brand's first and exclusive designer of timepieces, producing a line of men's wrist chronographs[8] (manufactured in 18K gold or stainless steel) and women's Art Déco cuff watches in 18K gold, steel, or platinum. Both models contained dials signed either "Hermès" or "Hermès Universal Genève", while the watch movements were signed "Universal Genève S.A.". The Hermès/Universal partnership lasted until the 1950s.

Also in the 1970s, the watch subsidiary, La Montre Hermès, was established in Bienne, Switzerland. Then, throughout the 1980s, Dumas strengthened the company's hold on its suppliers

In Q3 2023, Hermès reported 16% growth, slowing from 28% in Q2 but still outpacing key rivals such as LVMH who was flat and Kering who reported a decline in Q3 2023.[38] Analysts suggest this resilience is due to Hermès impeccable brand image, storytelling, and positioning, as well as citing the broader consumer interest in "quiet luxury"

Louis Vuitton Tambour: How the maison’s most emblematic watch has evolved in the last 18 years

With its heritage in luxury leather goods and accessories already rooted deeply and loved around the world, Louis Vuitton then made a stunning debut in the world of horology in 2002 with the Tambour watch design, which would become the most emblematic creation in its watchmaking universe

French for “drum”, the Tambour featured a new and unique signature case design. Sculpted from a metal block, it was round, generous and sturdy. Meant to be a statement of fine watchmaking infused with the maison’s style codes, its caseback was adorned with the original Monogram pattern and slightly larger than the bezel. Engraved on the generous lip of the case were the 12 letters that make up the name of the brand, marking each hour.

That first collection in 2002 was inspired by the Monogram canvas synonymous with the house. The lustrous brown dials were brought to life with mustard yellow hands – a nod to the unmistakable waxed thread used on the maison’s leather goods. Gently curved case flanks replaced a traditional bezel, while its fluid lines were accentuated by distinctive applied lugs.

Boasting inner workings worthy of traditional Swiss watchmaking savoir faire and always tied to the house’s heritage of adventure, travel and fine craftsmanship, the watch has since been seen in various iterations. Some of the diverse complications include the first Tambour chronograph launched in 2002 with a COSC-certified automatic movement, a “Worldtime” model that simultaneously displayed time in all 24 time zones and the first Louis Vuitton movement equipped with a tourbillon escapement.

The maison made significant breakthroughs in watch technology, specifically with the Tambour Spin Time in 2009. Patented by the house and an industry first, the modernised version of a jumping-hour watch told time with rotating cubes that spun around independently and instantly in place, instead of a central hand. An enduring edition within the Tambour collection, the Spin Time has been given a myriad of makeovers over the years.

In 2011, the house stepped up its haute horology game with the technically advanced and ultra high-end Tambour Minute Repeater GMT. It was Louis Vuitton’s first minute repeater watch that chimed the wearer’s home time, while it displayed the local time abroad. Featuring a manually wound movement developed in-house, the timepiece catered to the world traveller with an affinity for grand complications.

The maison’s ties to the nautical world also led to nifty Tambour creations such as the Diving watch that allows its wearer to time his dives and the LV Cup, which includes a countdown feature corresponding to the regatta race starting procedure. For the ladies, the watch was transformed into an exquisite accessory aptly named Tambour Bijou. Showcasing a whittled-down feminine 18mm diameter, it has also taken on the guise of a jewellery-inspired edition called the Tambour Bijou Secret, which features a dial hidden behind a decorative cover in the form of a round monogram flower.

The Tambour Slim was revealed in 2013. It featured a pared-down and inverted drum shape, with a bezel that was slightly larger than the caseback, instead of the opposite. Its precious mother-of-pearl guilloché dials were meticulously crafted and adorned with diamond indexes. Also offered were variants with a tourbillon – the second developed in Louis Vuitton’s history – created at the La Fabrique du Temps, a complications specialist acquired by the house in 2012.

A striking aesthetical departure from the classic model, the Tambour eVolution took on a bold masculine style in a 45mm case with a high- tech silhouette. Combining modern sensibilities with elegance and only offered with a metal strap, its less rounded, edgy lines were designed to meet the needs of the urban globetrotter.

Leica Watch - L1 and L2 models

Combining flawless quality with a clean and functional design, the two watches were designed by Professor Achim Heine, responsible for the design of many Leica Camera products over the years.

Leica’s design principles are recognizable in several details including the minimalist hands and indexes, the shape of the stainless-steel case, the special fluting on the crown and the domed sapphire crystal with double-sided anti-reflective coating, reminiscent of a camera lens.

The patented, “red-dot” push-crown was inspired by a camera’s shutter release, and developed as an homage to Leica M’s designers Ludwig Leitz II and Heinrich Janke.

Instead of pulling out the crown, the user just has to push it to set the time - with the round status display on the dial switching from white to red - and then push it again to set the movement in motion again. A separate push-button is used to change the date.

The Leica L2 also features a GMT-crown at 4 o'clock that controls the outer rim of the dial used to indicate the second time zone. This model also offers a day/night indicator just below the white/red status display.

Visible through the transparent caseback of the 41 mm x 14.5 mm 316L stainless steel case, the 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) hand-wound movement driving the Leica watches offers an autonomy of at least 60 hour with an indicator of the power reserve positioned on the dial side between 8 and 9 o'clock.

Matched to black calf leather straps with a red interior and water resistant up to a pressure of 50 metres /165 feet, the Leica L1 and Leica L2 will be available exclusively in selected stores with prices of Euro 9,500 and Euro 13,500, respectively.

Chopard is best known for making high-quality Swiss watches and jewellery, and its clients have included Tsar Nicholas II of Russia.[5][6] The company is headquartered in Geneva and has a site in Fleurier, Canton of Neuchâtel, that manufactures watch movements

The company founder, Louis-Ulysse Chopard, was a Swiss watchmaker who grew up in Sonvilier, a town in Swiss Jura. In 1860, he established his L.U.C. manufacturing company in Sonvilier, having observed that it was more profitable to market a finished watch than to just make the mechanical movement.

In 1974, the Chopard factory moved from the center of Geneva to Meyrin-Geneva and in 1976 the company started making watches that contained its signature free-floating diamond behind sapphire glass. In the 1980s, the company expanded into making sports watches for men and diamond jewellery for women.[9]

In 1996, the company established its own complete watch movement manufacturing facility in Fleurier, in the Swiss Canton of Neuchâtel. Prior to that time, all Chopard's movements had been assembled from third-party components. The movements made in Fleurier were intended for the high-end watches in the Chopard range.[
