NEW CARTIER SANTOS W2020020

Additional information

This Santos 100 Triple large model uses 950 quality palladium as the case material. The palladium metal platinum group is similar to platinum in nature, but its quantity is more rare, unlike platinum, which can become a publicly traded precious metal. However, since modern electronic industry uses many platinum group elements as the target, more people know about these rare metals. For advanced watchmaking works, the case materials are rare and hard to find, which may be more important than there is an open market price . How precious is palladium? It s hard to have an objective standard, but it s a good reference: her watch clasp is made of 18K white gold, and the outer layer is plated with palladium. If palladium is not more expensive than 18K gold, this practice would be putting the cart before the horse. The shutter type three section face plate is adopted. The most unique feature of this watch is undoubtedly the shutter type three section face plate. Unlike the traditional face plate, which uses a fixed metal or enamel face plate, the face plate is cut into twelve horizontal strips, which are basically isosceles triangle structures, showing three combinations; On this watch, in order to maintain the characteristics of the hollowed out watch, one side of the triangle can directly see through the movement, and the other two sides can form an 18K gold intaglio lettering face plate, a black paint surface, and a white time marker face plate. Both have a track second scale ring on the outermost side, which is matched with the hour mark. One is engraved, and the other is painted. The latter two types can cover the movement 100%, and the combination of exposed movements can reveal about 50% of the area. No matter how much, it is not technology, but magic. The blade at the intersection of the most central part and the time and minute needle has all been dug out to avoid the time and minute needle shaft. Except that the combination of face plate curtain components must be accurate, the carving or paint on the top must also be aligned. CARTIER did not explain that it was carved by hand or processed by precision tools. However, no matter which one it was, it was difficult to make. The operating mechanism of the three side face plate is designed at the crown, but not the traditional crown. Strictly speaking, it is the second watch crown of coaxial design, which is arranged close to the watch case and can rotate freely at any time, driving the whole set of face plates and curtains to rotate. The mechanism is similar to the shutter commonly seen in homes, but the volume is reduced by about 100 times. The principle is easy to understand, but it is not easy to implement and make. In particular, clocks and watches require smooth movement, careful operation, and clear insight into details. There must be no mistakes in flower patterns. Doing it well is one thing, and doing it well is another level.
