The bezel is set with blue sapphires. It is time-consuming and time-consuming to modify the watch brand to use invisible setting technology to set rectangular cut sapphires on the bezel one by one. This setting technique is difficult and tests the skills of the craftsmen, but the beauty of the finished product is also Obviously, there are no prongs to fix the gems on the bezel, allowing the gems to shine more fully.
2. Faceplate
It took several months for the watch brand to produce a transparent dial with a blue tint. On the one hand, it was necessary to make the sapphire material present the blue color that the watch owner expected. The proportions and other influencing factors in the production process were very complicated. At the same time, the high hardness of sapphire also requires modified brands to spend more effort and time during cutting and processing. In the later stages of dial production, Artisans de Genève added white scales on the edge to assist the watch owner in reading the time. This is obviously for interpretation. Ice and snow theme made the choice.
3. Automatic disk
In order to make the watch more readable, Artisans de Genève first re-skeletonized the 4130 movement it is equipped with, including the automatic dial. The watch owner hopes to add an "X" shape to the automatic dial. Because he felt that the shape of the letter reminded him of the landforms of the mountain peaks around the glacier, which once again cleverly echoed the modification theme of the watch, and also strengthened the characteristics of the entire watch from such details. Regarding the movement part, the hollow design of Artisans de Genève is actually no less than a major project to transform the appearance of the watch. Especially after adding the X-shaped hollow rotor, the entire movement parts are also chamfered, polished or sandblasted. , showing a higher level of craftsmanship and sophistication.
