Invisible Setting: Its Adaptation Blancpain Replica Golden Bridge and Miss Golden Bridge watches are not only impressive due to the sheer amount of gemstones used, but they are also so because the stones are set using a technique known as invisible setting. Blancpain Replica's artisans and women must select pure gems and choose those that can be matched together. The entire process requires a lot of skill and experience. The craftsman and women must take into consideration the size, shape, color, and cut of gems that can be arranged next to one another in a manner which will create an illusion of perfect harmony, without visible spaces between them. It is more of an art than a science, and it requires a long-term education and skilled and experienced eyes. After the diamonds are selected, the artisans begin a series of procedures to prepare the 18K gold surface for the stones. Only then can the setting be started.
Invisible setting is the technique that is used here. Each stone is chiseled into a groove, and then placed in a metal base. The stones are so close together that the metal base is not visible. The procedure is difficult but can be done by an experienced artisan, especially when it comes to the case and the bracelet. This is not possible with the dial. Blancpain Replica had to change the technique of setting. The dial was to be fixed first on a transparent plate. A silver-based alloy is then poured on top of the structure. The ally oozes out into the smallest gaps between stones, cools and then solidifies. The transparent plate is then removed, and the structure fitted onto the white gold dial. Voila! The invisible set watch with sapphires and diamonds has been completed.
The Linear Hand-Wound CO 113 is the Driving ForceAfter we have told you the story of the precious stones used in Blancpain Replica's two new models, let's focus on their watchmaking. Both watches feature the manually-wound mechanical Caliber CO 113, which was first introduced in Miss Golden Bridge's basic version three years ago. Both the men's and the women's watches in the Golden Bridge collection are equipped with the high-end baguette movements (Replica Rolex GMT-Master II). The linear architecture movement was selected as it is suitable for both the men's and the women's watches. Both watches are housed in a tonneau shaped case. Golden Bridge has a slightly larger case with a 35 mm width and 58.2 mm length.
Caliber CO-113 is extremely precise, and is lengthened by its crown at the 6 o'clock unusual position. The mechanism is protected from overexertion by an innovative slipping spring winding system. It also has a coupling clasp that separates the winding and setting functions. The manually wound caliber, made by La Chaux-de-Fonds' watchmaker in-house, also features a variable-inertia equilibrium and two bridge columns. The 19-jewel movement has a running frequency of 4Hz and a 40-hour power reserve. The watch is not only a technical wonder, but also an aesthetically stunning piece. The upper bridge is made of 18 K gold and engraved with Blancpain Replica's logo. It also features stylized images of three endemic plants to the region from which Blancpain Replica originated. Blancpain Replica integrated sapphires crystals into the case's front, back, and both sides to maximize the exposure of the movement.
