For many years BALL Fake Watches UK has focused its research and development strategy on improving the anti-magnetic protection of its mechanical watches. The briefest of contacts with an artificial magnet may be enough to magnetize an automatic movement and cause the complete stoppage of the mechanism. According to accepted standards in watchmaking, an automatic watch is deemed “anti-magnetic” when its operation can resist a magnetic field of at least 4,800A/m without its accuracy being subsequently affected by more than 30 seconds per day.

The A-PROOF® device is a completely new approach to the protection of a mechanical movement. The preservation of the workings of a Rolex Replica watches caliber requires it to be enclosed in a casing that protects against the influence of magnetic fields. BALL Watch equips its antimagnetic models with specially constructed stainless steel cases which resist ferrite corrosion. Until now, the anti-magnetic casing has taken the form of a soft iron inner structure, consisting of a rear plate and a ring surrounding the movement and the dial. Soft iron, reinforced by the shape of the inner case, channels the magnetic fields and prevents them from entering the movement. This process helped endow the most highly-developed BALL timepieces with anti-magnetic protection guaranteed for up to 12,000A/m.

The A-PROOF® device is based on cutting-edge developments in terms of both materials and construction. BALL Watch has carefully selected mumetal – a material never before used in watchmaking – for the development of its new anti-magnetic protection device. Mumetal is an alloy of nickel, iron, copper and molybdenum with very high magnetic permeability, which enables it to attract and deviate static or low-frequency magnetic field lines.

In addition to this revolutionary new material, BALL Watch Company engineers sought to bypass the constant imprisonment of the movement in an anti-magnetic cage which renders the caliber mechanism of a Omega Replica watch equipped with a transparent background invisible. The solution: a diaphragm mechanism that extends or retracts at will by simple circular motion of the bezel. In the fully closed position, the diaphragm locks the mumetal anti-magnetic protection cage. In the retracted position, the diaphragm disappears to reveal the movement at work through the transparent case back of the Engineer II Magneto S.

Mumetal protects a mechanical watch against magnetic fields up to an astonishing record intensity of 80,000A/m.

The Engineer II Magneto S boasts a powerful and striking look with its case in stainless steel and a robust 42mm diameter, with a thickness of 12.5mm, its black dial, the green circle on the flange – the corporate color of the BALL brand – and its chiseled bezel.

The basic hours, minutes, seconds and date functions are ensured by a BALL RR1103-CSL caliber, COSC-certified. The Engineer II Magneto S is equipped with BALL’s patented SpringLOCK® system that guarantees the accuracy of the movement upon heavy shock impact.

One of the company’s guiding principles is that a watch should be easy to read both by day and by night. In order to ensure perfect time reading with its mechanical watches even in total darkness, BALL Watch Company uses cutting-edge Swiss technology involving the capture of H3 luminescent gas inside glass micro-tubes on all its models. This technology is a hundred times more powerful than other methods of lighting commonly used in watchmaking.

The watch’s qualities are rounded off by a screwedin crown, an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, water-resistance to 100 meters and a shock resistance of 5,000Gs.

Would you describe 2014 as being a year of change or rather one of continuity?

Overall, the values that we are continuing to develop are innovation and singularity. This year, we wanted to focus strongly on women. For the past five years, we have redeveloped the men’s Rolex Replica watches market to re-establish a certain balance. Today, we have reached a level of 60% ladies’ watches and 40% men’s. It was important to come back to talking to women.

The Arceau Millefiori line presents a new facet of artistic crafts. How do you manage to stand out from a somewhat crowded offer?

We actually don’t speak of artistic crafts at Hermès; we prefer the expression “Of Mastery and Time”. We are interested in approaching ancient craft techniques from an innovative angle. In this case, it is about promoting this wonderful technique performed by the craftsmen from the Crystalleries royales de Saint-Louis – which has belonged to Hermès for a long time – and which consists of finely cutting up coloured canes obtained by superimposing layers of crystal and enamel. We have managed to transpose the work performed in creating the famous paperweights onto a very thin layer composing the dial of the Arceau Millefiori and the lid of the l’Arceau Pocket Millefiori. Once again, we innovate by offering singular, unique things.

With the Dressage L’heure Masquée Replica Watches UK, you are continuing your journey into the realm of poetry and dreams. Will you continue to develop this theme?

We have been exploring this theme since 2009/2010. We wanted to create a territory that was exclusive to Hermès, which tells the story of our particular relationship with time. At Hermès, our starting point is that time is a friend. The heure masquée  or “Time Veiled” concept is all about innovation and singularity. Innovation because this watchmaking module was created from scratch. Singularity because this is about playing with time, interacting with the display of its steady flow. I think that we are currently the only ones to show time in this way.

Is the new Faubourg watch part of a general return to small classical Rolex Replica watches for ladies?

We don’t try and follow trends; we prefer an offer-based approach which aims to create beautiful objects that are embedded in the company DNA. There is undoubtedly a return to a certain classicism, but it is not quite so strongly pronounced. And the Faubourg watch, which is a dainty and slender little evening watch, actually deliberately runs counter to what we are currently seeing on the market. Hermès’ strength lies in demonstrating its originality.

Amongst all these innovations, do you have a favourite?

They are all my babies so it is hard to judge. I would say that I am very happy with the result of the Millefiori models, which represents a fine performance In terms of both aesthetics and expertise. From an intellectual standpoint, Dressage L’heure masquée is particularly impressive. Finally, I would like to hail the arrival of the Cape Cod Nantucket, which spells the return of silver to Hermès with a new non-tarnishing alloy.

Breguet has from its beginnings taken on the task of designing timepieces exclusively for women and takes pride in having had a number of prominent women among its clients, including Marie-Antoinette and Caroline Murat, queen of Naples. One of the secrets of its success with women is that it creates real mechanical movements, sometimes with exceptional complications for its female clients, instead of just adding gemstones to an existing man’s model. Breguet very soon made women equal to men in terms of Omega Replica watchmaking with a judicious combination of horological know-how and graceful styling. Thus watchmaking complications designed for women, thin cases with clean dials and a refined setting of gemstones are to be expected in the brand’s collections.

The Classique Dame 9068 model perfectly matches this ideal. This particularly slim watch shows the hours, minutes and seconds as well as the dates in an aperture – a function popular with women.

Once again, the heart of this watch is a mechanical movement with a silicon balance spring. This is Breguet’s way of demonstrating that it gives women the benefit of the latest innovations in their Rolex Replica watches. Taste and charm come naturally into play on an uncluttered, engine-turned dial, while the bezel and lugs are set with brilliant-cut diamonds. With its open-tipped Breguet hands in blued steel, welded lugs, fine fluting on the caseband, unique number and secret signature, this model is unmistakably a Breguet classic.

The Classique Dame 9068 is also available in rose gold.
