Vacheron’s Dual Time Regulator marks time in two separate time zones
replica Breitling watches
Vacheron’s Dual Time Regulator marks time in two separate time zones simultaneously. A subdial located at the 12 o’clock position shows the hour in one time zone, while the large center hand indicates the minutes, and a subdial with 24-hour graduations at the 9 o’clock position displays the time in the second time zone. A circular date calendar at 6 o’clock outlines the seconds subdial, featuring sword-faceted and pointertype hands.
The Dual Time Regulator also boasts a 60-hour power reserve. Following suit with all Vacheron Constantin pieces of this caliber, the Dual Time Regulator features a decorative Côtes de Genève pattern and hand-fitted bridge angles and edges. The matte silver dial of the Regulator features oversized black Roman numerals and hour markers. The impressive 39-mm round case includes a push piece that activates the second time zone indicator as well as a corrector for the calendar.
The 38.5mm, officer-type case of the Dual Time Regulator opens to reveal its complicated 31-jewel movement and an 18-karat gold oscillating weight protected by a transparent sapphire crystal. The case is accented with a handstitched alligator strap, equipped with a distinctive half-Maltese cross buckle. The timepiece is water-resistant to 30 meters.
The Malte Dual Time Regulator in 18-karat rose gold retails for $19,500. The new, ultra-tough v10k is the result of years of diamond-case research herever Roland Streule travels, people proudly Wshow him their Rado watches. “They then explain how happy they are with it because it looks exactly as it did the day they purchased it,” he explains. Streule is the CEO of Rado worldwide, the maker of scratch-resistant ceramic and hard-metal watches that recently have been adorned with sapphires and diamonds.
“These customers underline our philosophy: Beauty that stays beautiful.” If it has diamonds on the bezel or the dial, the watch, he adds, will always look just as good as the diamonds. This year Rado has spread its diamonds out onto a particular watch in a extraordinary manner. It has bonded the entire tungsten carbide case of its new v10k with a layer of diamond. In doing so, the case is equally hard as the diamond, which is considered one of the hardest substances on earth.
The V in the name stands for Vickers, which is the measuring unit for hardness—used particularly in diamond-related technology. The 10k stands for 10,000. The scale goes from zero to 10,000 Vickers—the ultimate value for genuine diamonds and thus the yardstick for everything else. This top value appears even more exclusive when you consider that stainless steel normally used to make watches has a Vickers hardness number of only 200. This makes the v10k fifty times harder than the standard steel watch.
