Replica MCT Watches Dodekal One D110 watch hands-on
There is a common misconception that high-end watches are to make watches with complicated functions. Watches with many complications are good, some of them can be very interesting-for example, Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers Celestia Astronomical Grand Complication 3600. However, what impressed me more is that the watchmaker made some complicated things look simple. As Leonardo Da Vinci once said: “Simplicity is the ultimate in sophistication.” A good example of Da Vinci’s famous saying is MCT’s latest watch Dodekal One D110, which is It was unveiled at Baselworld 2017 earlier this year.
To fully understand and appreciate MCT Dodekal One D110, some background knowledge is required. MCT, or Manufacture Contemporaire du Temps, was founded in 2007 by the master watchmaker Denis Giguet. Giguet is probably best known for being the man behind the 2011 Harry Winston Opus 11. Some people think this is one of the most outstanding works of Harry Winston Opus. Opus 11, like the MCT Dodekal One you see here, uses a digital display to display the time. The theme of the digital display has always guided the creation of each MCT timepiece.jacob and co astronomia replica watches
Dodekal One D110 adopts MCT's iconic cushion case, and there are two styles to choose from: all titanium and DLC titanium rose gold. What we are dealing with is the all-titanium version. Its dimensions are 43 mm x 43 mm, which makes it a fairly large watch. It is also very thick. It definitely has a lot of wrists, but due to the short lugs and the fact that it is made of ultra-light titanium, it doesn't feel bulky or bulky on the wrist. One thing to note is that although the case design is somewhat sporty, the water resistance is only 30m.
Due to the large 43mm x 43mm case, the black dial is very spacious. The first thing that might catch your eye is the bridge diagonally across the dial. A circular hole is formed in the middle of the bridge plate, and the brand name is clearly engraved on it. There is an incision in the hole to display the hour number display.
If you are wondering, meeting minutes are presented in a more traditional way. Around the central aperture is a black disc with a minute scale. Above it is a transparent sapphire disc with a small red pointer that goes around the black disc once every hour, just like a normal minute hand. The driving movement actually comes from the wheel at the bottom left of the dial. In any case, it is easy to get used to reporting the time on this fake watches for sale.
The digital display is very smart. It is performed using a turntable type "indicating board", which is composed of a cam and a sliding frame, which can guide various boards to positions below the incision. According to MCT, the design of the system is simple and robust, with minimal failure probability. This is a very thoughtful and practical approach, because we often see brands take on ambitious and complex issues, and rarely consider reliability and maintainability.
The board moved into place is white. Logically, they should contrast with the black dial and be easy to read. But in the real world, I found that MCT Dodekal D110 One is not as easy to read as I expected. In fact, I found the digital display difficult to distinguish, especially at one angle. Mainly because the cut itself is very thin, which means the number itself is not that big. It is also because the central digital display is recessed deep in the dial.luxury replica watches
However, the digital display is very interesting because the hourly change does not happen immediately. Instead, it is deliberately designed to be slow (the time change takes about 2 seconds), so it looks like a digital animation. The side effect of this is that the owner can also better appreciate the mechanical magic of making such displays.
The internal movement is the Calibre MCT-D1 manufactured in-house, which can be appreciated through the back of the sapphire display case. This is a very interesting movement, because the balance wheel is very large and beats at a slow speed of 2.5 Hz. The balance wheel swims freely, and the balance wheel has adjustment screws. It also has a complete balanced bridge to provide better stability and shock resistance. The power reserve is sufficient for 50 hours. There are also many decorations around. The plywood is chamfered and decorated with Geneva corrugation, while the bottom plate uses a lot of pearl patterns.
MCT Dodekal D110 One hides its mechanical secrets well. It may seem simple, but it actually has a complicated movement and protection device to ensure that its unique digital display works reliably for a long time. In a word, it is exquisiteness. Although the digital hour display is very special due to its smooth changing mechanism, I find it a bit difficult to read.Replica Bovet watches
