There truly is a cheap AAA Breitling replica watches for every taste and occasion. Now high-end Swiss watchmaker Jaquet Droz has created two watches featuring brocaded carp, (often known as Koi in the Far East) a highly prized (and highly priced) fish said to bring prosperity, virility and long life.
With an eye no doubt firmly on the Asian market, Jaquet Droz employs decorative techniques by blending, engraving and enameling. The koi carp are visible under a watery veil, weaving in and out among lotus blooms. Their instantly recognizable silhouettes bring alive the dial of this new Petite Heure Minute Relief Carps.
Jaquet Droz took one of their best-known models as a starting point. Its off-centered hours-and-minutes dial opens the way for more creativity. The motifs re taken from traditional Asian iconography. Small groups of this revered fish are often used to embellish ornamental ponds in both Chinese and Japanese cultures.
For the timepieces, the scenes are reproduced on a scale of 41mm, with the dial set over a tranquil pond of crystalline waters created through subtle layering of translucent blue enamel. Two lily pads float gracefully on the surface, crowned by a blooming lotus applied in relief, and hand-engraved gold reed stems rise from the waters.
Under the enamel, three koi carp glide serenely against the background of wave-ridged gold. The enamel lightens across the upper half of the best Jaquet Droz replica watches face in gradually shaded colors underscored by an engraving of sky and birds.
For the first time, Jaquet Droz presents an enameled balance weight decorated with a carp hand-engraved in bas-relief. The balance weight echoes the color of its case, with a choice of two versions for the Petite Heure Minute Relief Carps.
In the Swiss Breitling replica watches white gold case model, bezel and horns are set with brilliant cut diamonds and the white mother-of-pearl hours-and-minutes sub-dial is encircled in white gold. The red gold case model features a black onyx hours-and-minutes sub-dial with a red gold outlining ring. Enhanced by a rolled-edge hand-made gray or black alligator leather strap, both versions of the Petite Heure Minute Relief Carps will be limited to just 28 pieces.
