Top 3 unique Audemars Piguet watches

The designs of the majority of Audemars Piguet watches are geared towards having a more classy look then something totally out of the box. But there are a few watch designs by the manufacturer which are very different and quite inimitable. It is possible that not many people will be fond of these watches but that is because some watches are more of a collector’s item than to actually wear them around on a day to day basis. The following Audemars Piguet watches are the top 4 unique watches the manufacturer has come up with.

1.    Haute Joaillerie Diamond Outrage

The Haute Joaillerie is one of the most iconic collections amongst all the Audemars Piguet watches that have been manufactured to this day. This gorgeous watch has a cuff bracelet design with spikes. Now the spikes of this watch are entirely covered with differently cut diamonds; brilliant and baguette cut. The watch designs look like a beautiful crown or depict breathtaking snow covered mountains.

The actual inspiration of the jewelled watch is taken from the winter season, especially the snow. There is an astonishing number of diamonds used for making this watch; there are 9923 and 354 diamonds, brilliant cut and baguette cut respectively, which are used to completely cover the cuff on this watch. The frame of this watch is made of white gold.

2.    Haute Joaillerie Diamond Outrage (sapphire)

This is another version of the original Haute Joaillerie Diamond Outrage watch but this has sapphires instead of diamonds. The inspiration behind this watch is the reflection of the glacial waters in the winters of Audemars Piguet's home in Vallee de Joux.

The spikes of this watch are set on a white gold base while the spikes are covered entirely by blue sapphires which enhances the beauty of the watch with the addition of a colour as bright and noticeable as blue. This artistic watch makes use of 11,043 sapphires which seems quite unbelievable.

3.    Haute Joaillerie Diamond Fury

This watch is entirely covered with diamonds from the case of this watch to the dial but it also includes some onyx elements in the case of this watch. The case of the watch is actually an 18-carat white gold but it is covered with 3246 diamonds and 56 onyx elements. The case has ridged triangular designs on it which gives it a very different look and feel.

This watch is the whole deal when it comes to diamonds as even the dial of this watch is covered fully with diamonds.  The dial alone uses  206 brilliant cut diamonds. The inspiration behind this watch is the roughness and ruggedness of rock in winter. It is incredibly unique idea to make use of nature’s work in such a way that you pick up changes caused by the seasonal changes and depict those in something as personal as watches.

Incorporating the use of winter into Audemars Piguet watches allows people to perceive the watches however they want since everyone has different feelings towards different seasons.

Top 2 Rolex Deepsea watches

Rolex watches are known for their designs and the efforts that are involved in manufacturing each watch for the longest time Rolex was after finding a way to manufacture watches for divers who went to the extreme depths of the sea. In order to make this possible, they had to design a watch that could resist those depths of water and survive the deep water resistance test. For this purpose, Rolex had to involve a lot of divers and professional personnel in the related field. After a lot of hard work and even more research, Rolex was able to find the answer and gave these watches the name for which they are quite well-known to this day; the Rolex Deepsea watches. Amongst all of the Rolex Deepsea watches that have been manufactured, these two are the best designs by Rolex.

3 best anti-magnetic watches

While new and improved technologies are being put to use in order to make the experience of owning a high-end watch better than ever, there is a problem that exists in most mechanical watches which can end up really damaging them. That is the effects of magnetic fields on the working of the watch. The disappointing part is that some watches are even affected by those items that make use of magnetics that is not really strong. So, if your profession requires the involvement of magnets or if you own items that use magnets such as speakers and computers, then you would need to invest in a watch that is anti-magnetic. Three of the best anti-magnetic watches are listed below.

1.    Rolex Milgauss

The idea used in the design and manufacturing of Rolex Milgauss proved to be extremely helpful and revolutionary for the scientists at the time. Scientists had to go through a lot of hassle due to their watches being damaged by the magnetic rays that emanated at the workplace. So in order to solve their problems, Rolex decided to release and test run their new watch design, the Rolex Milgauss. Not only did the Rolex Milgauss have an outstanding design, it also resisted magnetic rays up to 1000 gauss, which had never been done before. The Rolex Milgauss has a silver case and chain bracelet. The hourly markings are luminescent and have fluorescent second markings above them around the perimeter of the dial. The watch has three centred hands, out of which the second's hand is shaped like a lightning bolt.

2.    IWC Ingenieur Mission Earth

This watch has an outstanding performance against magnets as it can resist magnetic field effects on the watch far more than the range of Rolex Milgauss. The design of this watch is flawless with a jet black rubber strap against an almost matte silver case. The dial of the watch is black with luminescent hourly markings and three-centred watch hands which also have a luminescent feature to them. The watch also includes a date feature along with water resistance and shock absorption feature which deems it to be one of the best anti-magnetic watches that have been released thus far.

3.    Sinn 756

This is quite a well-known brand which not only produces high-quality anti-magnetic watches but is also known to produce few of the best bomb proof watches available in the market. This watch has a very monochromatic look to it with a greyish silver case and chain bracelet paired with a dark grey dial. The dial has two subdials which display 12 hours in a day and 30 minutes in an hour. The watch also includes a date display at the four o clock marking. Even though there are several watches by Sinn which are anti-magnetic, however, the 756 is the most technologically advanced from the lot. This particular version is recommended by a number of different professionals who have put this watch to use and are quite satisfied with the performance.
