Breitling Replica Watches turns 60 with 3 models inspired by the ref 3180

The Seiko company was first founded in 1881 by Kintaro Hattori as an importer of fine quality watch and jewellery products, and post-incorporation in 1892, Mr Hattori soon began to develop Japanese watchmaking, believing that the country’s craftsmen would be capable of making sophisticated timekeepers. As the Roger Dubuis Replica Watches Daini Seikosha and Suwa Seikosha began producing watches under various names, in the ’60s they began to focus on developing fine chronometers that were comparable to Swiss precision performers. Like any Asian student competing against foreigners, their diligent study efforts soon paid off, and quickly caught up with their Swiss peers.

However, the development of beautiful watchmaking isn’t merely innate performance; the exterior is just as significant. Up till the ’50s, Seiko didn’t have a design ideas department until 1958, when the company began hiring design graduates for the purpose of designing watch cases and other details. When Mr Taro Tanaka was hired in 1959, it marked the first step in the transformation of the brand. Mr Tanaka would go on to develop a complete set of rules for Breitling Replica Watches buy and the discontinued King Seiko’s collection, a system of design that remains within the Seiko organisation’s guidelines. The “Grammar of Design” as he termed it, followed these specifications.

Mr Tanaka

All Surfaces and angles from the case, dial, hands and indices had to be flat and geometrically perfect to best reflect light.

Bezels were to be simple two-dimensional faceted curves.

No visual distortion was to be tolerated from any angle and all cases should be mirror finished.

All cases must be unique for each reference with no generic round case designs.

The rules reflected the style of watch design popular in the era, and to this day, still guides the industry at large. The global perception of luxury and precious products overall has changed very little, apart from a selection of rare and unusual products that break this mould. However, the very first Breitling Replica Watches Sinn Replica released in 1960, with a stated chronometer precision of -3/+12 seconds a day held on to classic Seiko looks — rounded, angled lugs on a round case with a thin bezel; dauphine hands and faceted hour markers, brushed or softly polished surfaces.
