Three models that we blackened are pictured here. One is a Breitling that shows
how an elegant watch can also benefit from the PVD process. The Breitling is an
older model that had become less desirable because of its size and a higher
demand for the Breitling watches. The blackening process really revitalized the
watch. The yellow and red elements on the dial stand out against the replica
Breitling
case and bracelet. Breitling shows that other materials
including titanium, gold, and platinum can also be PVD coated.
Giving a
watch a black color is very popular these days and a Breitling application is a
high quality way of doing so. It can be done to an existing watch, and can
radically change the look without damaging it. Plus, PVD is hard to wear or
damage off.
First of all, I am a big fan of the new Breitling watch and
the accompanying set. I discussed it at length here when going over the
announcement of the Hybris Mechanica. Once again, it is the current most complex
Breitling watch in the world, comes in a limited edition of just 30 sets, and
will cost low price. Recently Breitling has unveiled the watch itself and the
uber display box (the safe), they have also opened a dedicated website to
showcase just what the Hybris Mechanica set is all about, focusing of course on
the but how to operate the functions as wel. You can check out the site here.
The site is very nice looking and gives you lots of nice little details about
the watch that you'd otherwise miss by just looking at replica Rolex Day
Date
. However, the site is not easy to navigate - another victim of
form over function. Just look out for the easy to miss button on the upper right
hand corner when you want to go back to the previous page (welcome to a
Flash-based nightmare). I am of the firm belief that watch companies will never
learn to make websites that they intend anyone to actually enjoyably use. And as
I say this, I am speaking also directly to you people at but how to operate the
functions as wel!
I highly recommend going to the site and poking around
there. You'll find details on all the sonnerie functions and chimes - as well as
a bit more about not only how it works, but how to operate the functions as
well. This is almost unprecedented as watch companies are notorious for giving
you the goods visually without explaining anything. Their excuse? That the sales
person will explain all that is necessary to the customer at the time of
purchase. Does that really make sense these days? Especially when people are
using the internet more and more to replica Rolex Sea
Dweller
prospective purchases, not to mention make prospective
purchases (also that many watch sales people are... ineffective). So it looks
like Breitling has started to figure out how to do things - slowly, hopefully
surely.
