When I arrive at my mother's home, I ask where the watch is. He replies that he tossed it out because he thought he was stupid for thinking he could do it like me. When I went to the bin, the drawing was crumpled. "I put it in my wallet and didn't speak to him about it for many years."
The sketch was not forgotten. Journe claims, "[My child] had drawn the opening with the sun in it which I used as a starting point for my design. It wasn't originally supposed to look like this, but a simpler version. I was just releasing the Grande Sonnerie when I began drawing. At that time, it wasn't my intention to replace the Grande Sonnerie.
Journe returned to his earlier creation of an astronomical watch he created in 1987 for a scientific object collector to create the mido replica. This pocket watch featured a tourbillon unique to it that displayed mean time and sidereal times, along with equation of time, full calendar, and power reserve.
The mido replica, like the pocket watch has a dual dial configuration that is quite effective for a design this size. The watch was complex enough to be elegant, but it was also easy to read and comfortable.mido replica It is made of 758 parts, but the watch doesn't appear that complex. The case is 44mm wide and only 13.8mm high. It houses the 18K rose-gold calibre 1619.
The dial is beautifully decorated with clou-de-Paris decoration. The moon, which appears as the moon phase indicator, was traced from an NASA photo to a near exact likeness. At 3 o'clock you can read the civil time (normal time). The blue hand indicates a second timezone. The sidereal dial, which measures time based on the rotation of Earth relative to the stars rather than the sun, is displayed at 9 o’clock. On the disc below, you can see the mean time seconds. The central hand displays the minutes. At 6 o'clock you can read the power reserve indicator.
Above, at 12 o’clock, you'll find the original aperture, which shows the sunrise and the sunset. The reverse side has the time equation and an annual calendar with all the signs in the zodiac. On this side, the tourbillon is visible.
Journe said he had two watchmakers working on this watch in his manufacturing.chopard replica watches It's easy to understand that the mido replica will be produced in a very limited number. Only four or five pieces are expected to be produced in the coming year.
