Think about that.Second, we were Ebel replica watches presented with one of the coolest looking timepieces we've seen in a while. The Shabaka is a minute repeater with cathedral gongs and an instantaneous perpetual calendar, but unlike any perpetual calendar on the market. "The calendar indications use four cylinders rotated by their own transmission systems, each fitted with a security device to ensure precise calendar changes. The date, day and month all jump instantaneously at midnight.The leap year is balanced on the dial by the phases of the moon. Black discs travel over the moons su***ce like the shadow of the earth, accurately eclipsing it to the left as it wanes, and revealing it from the right as it waxes. It deviates from the real moon by one day every 120 years."Each Ebel replica watches Shabaka comes with an extraordinary wooden presentation box that is actually made from violin wood (seen in the video below), to provide the most opportune setting to listen to the beautiful minute repeater. Like we said before, these are watches you just don't see every day. Again, we present you the Jean Dunand Tourbillon Orbital and Shabaka Perpertual Calendar, Minute Repeater, as described by President Thierry Oulevay at the Hotel Beau Rivage in Geneva.
As promised, we are now presenting you with a collection of timepieces that rise above what you see in your daily lives. In fact, we'd be surprised if you had ever seen or even heard of the watches in the video below, but after seeing them, we can assure you you'll have some new grail pieces.Jean Dunand is a six year old company that produces unique pieces at the highest levels of haute horlogerie. We don't mean unique in the superlative sense, we mean it in the literal sense. In fact, not one timepiece Jean Dunand produces is like any other. It was founded by horological entrepreneur Thierry Oulevay and Ebel replica watches Master watchmaker Christophe Claret (who you may remember is 1/3 of the genius behind The Maitres du Temps Chapter One), and they have been producing world-firsts ever since.Last week, we were presented two Jean Dunand models by Thierry, who serves as President of the company. The first is the Tourbillon Orbital, which features an extraordinary one-minute flying tourbillon that orbits the dial once per hour on a patented revolving movement, a Ebel replica watches novel power reserve indicator in the case band and moon phase on the case back. How impressive of a timepiece is this?Well, it took Christophe Claret two years to solve the challenge of winding and setting a constantly rotating movement and mainspring barrel. Eventually, he decided to do it via an innovative folding key set vertically into the movements central axis that both winds the mainspring and sets the time.
