The latest reference from this model comes in a smoky sapphire crystal that protects the watch and black nickel-plated treatment on the movement in a variety of treatments that give it an incredible shading effect which is stunning to admire on the dial. The shading of the sapphire crystal is done on the back of the crystal, giving it a fume-style display that shows off the watch movement and darkens it to match with the hour display ring in black. The numerals and minute track in rhodium plating are transferred on the external face, to deliver even greater visual depth to the watch. The movement displays modern textures and treatments, with satin-brushing, microblasting and mirror polishing, all accomplished on black nickel plated components which gives it both a sleek modern design while maintaining the beauty of the movement construction visible to all.

A second model that's emerged this last quarter of the year is the Arceau Cheval Fusion, which adopts a new technique of enamelling work -- enamelling on sapphire crystal. The deep blue dial is enamelled on a sapphire crystal,Patek Philippe Replica Watches and galvanic growth, which is an electroforming technique which is also somewhat like 3D printing, adding layer upon layer of material to the watch dial until it forms the complete picture. First, a stencil is applied by hand on the sapphire crystal which marks out which parts of the dial need to be metallised. It takes hours of work to accomplish this by one single artisan, after which the dial is placed in multiple galvanic baths that forms the material to a depth of around 0.1mm.

In this case, the Cheval Fusion has a horse on the dial that is decidedly steampunk-ish, in a polished and contemporary style that is just sublime. Stare at the dial and you can almost make out the curious parts by which this creature is constituted -- a smiley face here, a gear wheel there. And like many of the rare Arceau pieces, it's based off a scarf motif designed by Dimitri Rybaltchenko in 2014. Simply fantastic.
