Chapter 454 Two Sets Of Watches
At this moment, Zheng Yu was really completely confused.
After all, no matter what, he couldn't have imagined that Lin Mo would be so fierce!
Actually...
Can still be a master designer!
However, the most critical point is.
You are a grand master-level designer, and you actually asked him to help design the carving content of this jade in the first place?
Too much!
At this time, Zheng Yu looked a little helpless on his face.
Looking at Lin Mo in front of him, he was in a good mood, and for a while, his mood was complicated.
…
Lin Mo is not quite clear about Zheng Yu's thoughts.
Time goes by little by little.
Soon, two days flew by.
During these two days, Lin Mo basically stayed in the hotel.
As for the products on the APP, I didn't find anything very good.
Nothing more than two watches.
The first piece is the No. 1160 replica pocket watch of the Baoji family.
This pocket watch is actually very ordinary, it is nothing more than a whole body of gold, and the price of this pocket watch may be a little expensive, and it may be auctioned at an auction house for two to three hundred million meters of gold.
There is no other reason. No. 1160 is a re-engraved pocket watch, and the re-engraved is Baoji No. 160!
The pocket watch No. 160 is so classic, and the story behind it is also very moving.
Baoji 160 original version, this watch was made in 1783 by a mysterious admirer to Baoji to order an amazing pocket watch as a gift for the queen: to gather all the complicated functions at that time, and to use gold instead of other watches as much as possible Metal, and other subsidiary structures, that is, complex devices must also be numerous and diverse, and there is no limit to the production time and cost.
However, it is a pity that the queen was not fortunate enough to appreciate the "Marie Antoinette" pocket watch specially made for her with the number 160, which is named after the queen.
This piece of timepiece was not completed until 1827, when the queen had passed away 34 years ago, and the founder of Baoji was completed 4 years after his death, that is, 44 years after he received the order.
And this pocket watch, which was made by the top craftsmen at that time, was collected in the museum.
Moreover, even after more than two centuries, this pocket watch still haunts all watchmakers and watch collectors!
And two centuries later, this watch was stolen from the museum in Yelu Salem in 1983!
It was not found until after 2006.
The experience of finding it is also quite dumbfounding.
In 1983, a thief named Naaman Diller sneaked into the Art Museum of Yelu Salem, which had been observed for several months in advance, and stole 106 collections, including this No. 160 pocket watch.
In 2004, the thief died of cancer in a fall machine.
On his deathbed, he confessed to his wife about the theft of the museum.
Among these stolen goods, the Baoji 160 was so famous that it could not be sold, so only 40 stolen collections were returned in 2006, including the No.160 pocket watch.
However, Baoji Company at this time was acquired by the Swatch Group in 1999.
And Nicholas Hayek from Swatch Group personally attended Baoji's brand CEO.
In 2005, he decided to replicate the masterpiece of the No. 160 pocket watch. Baoji Company was obliged to carry out this task, and immediately formed a technical team to collect all existing materials.
However, because there are very few archives of the watch, there are only a few illustrations in books and a front photo for reference, which makes watchmakers face great challenges.
Finally, at the 2008 commemorative ceremony for Baoji brand to fund the renovation of the Petit Tiyanon Palace, the veil of the replica number 1160 pocket watch was unveiled.
This pocket watch is almost a perfect replica, and the watch box of this 1160 watch is also very expensive and well-known.
Its watch box is not other materials, it is made of oak.
The oak used to make the watch box comes from the oldest oak tree in the Palace of Versailles, which has experienced the blizzard of 1999 and the heat of 2003.
In February 2005, after 324 years of trials and hardships, it ushered in the end of its life.
Baoji decided to use it to create a watch box for a replica pocket watch. The outer layer completely and faithfully reproduced the style of the parquet floor in the Petit Tiyanon Palace, which the Queen loved, and the inside was inlaid with a scene of the Queen holding a rose.
It is also because of this legendary story that this replica watch numbered No. 1160 can be estimated at a high price of 200 million meters of gold!
As for the second watch, he is not a single watch, but a set.
There are three watches in total.
These three watches are the famous HybrisMechanica55-several Three Musketeers.
The three watches have a total of 55 complex functions, with a total value of about 2.5 million meters of gold.
Among them, the Hybris Mechanica à Grande Sonnerie watch with a double-wing movement has 26 complex functions, which is the most complicated style among the three and the most complicated style of Jaeger-LeCoultre.
The Hybris Mechanica à Gyrotourbillon spherical tourbillon watch and the Hybris Mechanica à Triptyque three-sided Reverso watch made of the classic Master round case are also the most complicated styles in each series.
Although these three watches can only be auctioned for 2.5 million meters of gold, which is 11.7 million Shenhua coins.
However, I can't resist the status of these three watches in several companies!
These three watches have almost witnessed the 170-year inheritance of several companies!
Thirty sets of these three exquisite watch works were produced between 2009 and 2014, and delivery began in September 2010.
And it is equipped with an equally luxurious vertical safe.
It has a storage space with a total weight of about 1 ton, a width of 1 meter and a height of 1.5 meters.
This safe can automatically wind the watch, and can perfectly transmit the timekeeping sound of the watch through a special wireless system, which is also the top safe.
Looking at the two big boxes in front of him, Lin Mo fell silent.
This thing...
How should I take it back with me?
With a deep sigh in his heart, Lin Mo's mood was extremely complicated for a while.
After that, he casually picked up a flip watch from several companies, and played with it for a while.
The hotel's landline rang.
After connecting, the voice from the front desk rang on the other end of the phone.
