Some time ago, Musk's Space X company celebrated its 20th birthday, and fans sent a rocket explosion collection as a gift.
This man named Musk should be very familiar to everyone, Tesla CEO, netizens call him a realistic version of Iron Man, smart, handsome, worth tens of billions.
When other rich people become famous, they love to buy houses and cars, and he wants to build rockets! Nasa Space Agency has not yet built it, and it was preempted by him.
He didn't do this to make money, or even keep putting money into it, just because he read a science fiction book at the age of 40 and evoked his unfinished dream of Mars as a child.
So this time Space X company caught up with the 20th birthday, netizens have sighed fortunately he did not give up. After all, this attitude of daring to explore and pursue self is quite impressive. Receiving the blessing, he also thanked him in his own way, and then space X's Falcon 9 successfully carried out the 12th launch and recovered that day.
There is another person in the big guy circle who is often compared to Musk because of his avant-garde personality, and he is Bezos. Like Musk, he has no fear of the future, only yearning.
To fulfill his dream of traveling to space, he founded Blue Origin many years ago. Last year, the 16th launch of the company's new Shepherd rocket, and the first manned flight, was of great significance.
He is also obsessed with new things that no one pays attention to, such as the electronic dogs that have recently swept the Shanghai street photography circle of tens of thousands, which he slipped away a few years ago.
He was also one of the first to go down the meta-cosmic market and was interested in contemporary art, "Word Artist" Ed Ruscha's painting Hurting the Word Radio #2, which he bought for $52.5 million (360 million yuan).
But the most personal thing is that he hollowed out a mountain and built a ten thousand year clock inside, which is 152 meters high, and the diameter of the large parts is almost as long as the height of Bezos.
It takes a year for the second hand of this clock to go once, and it takes 100 years for its hands to go once, and if you want to hear the sound of the cuckoo chime, then you need to wait 1,000 years, and some people can't hear this sound even for several lifetimes. Bezos hopes to live for 10,000 years, like a pyramid, to serve future generations.
Seeing this, have you found that the common denominator of these big guys is the constant pursuit of individuality, and the degree of obsession with unique things?
In fact, this is similar to the selection of many ultimate players in the bezel, they themselves are very clear about what they want, there are requirements for brand, design, workmanship, and materials, and only truly subversive, avant-garde, and breakthrough watches can enter their eyes.
And Ulysse Nardin watches are often flipped by these people. It is not a well-known brand, but similar to these big guys who yearn to travel between heaven and earth, it hides a heart that never settles down and constantly explores.
This spirit of Athens is closely related to its beginnings in the age of navigation. In ancient times, in the process of conquering the sea, people realized that the nautical astronomical clock was particularly important, and it was during that turbulent era that Yeromew was born.
The advent of the Athens Nautical Astronomical Clock solved the problem of maritime positioning on ships, and since then it has become the dream timepiece of many naval officers and merchant ship captains around the world.
Later, in 176 years, Nardin Took astronomy, space, and the universe as the destination of navigation, and the pattern was very large. Athens' famous "Astronomical Trilogy" is based on the astronomical achievements of three great scientists, and some of our cousins have senior fans of other brands, and every time we hear these three watches, they are highly praised.
The UFO grandfather clock launched by Athens last year has also taken the endless space of the sea and the sky as a sea voyage, this pioneering and shocking design, I really want to have a home!
Of course, Athens is not only an unexpected imagination, it is also supported by strong technical precipitation. Athens was the first watchmaker to use silicon to create a watch escapement system. There is no shortage of real homegrown movements, especially the Carosu movement, which was launched in 2001, which has no dial, crown and traditional hands, and can be used directly to indicate the time for you.
I remember when my friend next to me first saw it, he said that he was used by Donghuang Taiyi and Zhang Liang (the fierce horn in the king's pesticide) together!
It can be seen that every step of watchmaking in Athens is very skillful, and it can always use endless imagination to make amazing works. In recent years, the style has become more modern and even full of futurism, coupled with the very small number, the design can not find a substitute in the market, those who pursue the ultimate personality, love to explore the big guys are easy to obsessed with Athens.
Among the many series at present, the one that can really represent the brand is the Whimsical Series, and what really lays the position for the brand is the chronometer. Coincidentally, this year's three new watches are these two categories. If you have extremely high requirements for the shape and strength of the watch, these watches are indeed one of the best choices.
What I recommend most is the new Free X, which is the entry-level version of the Athens high-complexity watch, retaining the most classic carosu strip movement structure of the fantasy, and the disc surface is also decorated with avent stone. The Italian name "aventurine" of avent stone means "accident", and wearing it also reminds you of the meaning of daring to challenge the unknown.
It is also very easy to control, daily wear is not too flashy, 72 hours of storage is enough for a weekend. What's more, at this price point, it is almost impossible to find a watch that can contain the same high-grade elements (such as carosu, silicon and other bare gear designs), so it is very suitable for young players who are fascinated by high-complexity watches and are worried that the threshold is too high.
Strength players can also consider the king explosion "space battleship" Freak S, it is more expensive but also more personality, as if to wear a starship on the hand, I believe that many personalities such as Musk boys see direct blood boiling!
The place of this watch cow X is the silicon double balance wheel design, which can improve the accuracy of the watch, while tilting 20 ° can better appreciate the beauty of the movement operation, and then use the "differential" that will appear in the car engine to obtain the average speed to achieve balance and coordination, the entire configuration is absolutely complex and avant-garde, and also gathers all the elements of the Free series, suitable for the real pursuit of personality and strength of athenian collectors to start.
This new FreeS Fantasy series of watches is planned to be limited to 75 pieces, and only 40 pieces are produced in the world this year, no matter what kind of occasion you wear such a king fried product, it will make people feel that you are a very powerful and watch collector.
Finally, the Blast Moon Rhapsody Watch, which, in addition to its universal time function, can also have a true "God" perspective, taking in the orbital motions of the Earth, the Moon and the Sun, as well as tidal phenomena.
From a mechanical point of view, in addition to considering the skills and aesthetics of the starry disk, this piece can put such a complex function, through a very modern and very intuitive and easy to read way to show, which shows the brand's top technical strength, I believe this is also Musk, Bezos, such as the extreme obsession with technology experts will be absolutely interested in the type.
All in all, those with a technical background will always lead the way, whether it is the technology giants who love to explore and constantly pursue their dreams at the beginning, or Athens, which inherits the spirit of seafaring adventure and uses technology and exploration spirit to leap into the future, these ideas and abilities cannot be copied. And the people who buy watches to buy in the later stages just know that Athens has such an ability, so they will fall deeper and deeper, preferring to burn money to treasure these watches.
In the end, what do you think of this brand after reading it? What is your favorite watch? Let's talk.
