Every Friday afternoon, it is the time of the "academic meeting" of Q&D Studio, and it is the time to summarize the maintenance experience of the week with the senior brothers.

When the old man was still there, he would personally participate in it and discuss and learn from his apprentices.

After Jin Ran came, he went up to ask if he had something.

Now that it has been changed to a senior brother who is not good at expressing himself, the style of "academic conference" has begun to become a little strange.

The people in the technical department of the studio, especially seriously, sat down to have a meeting and discussed, discussed, discussed, and the topic slowly began to deviate.

Last month, Jin Ran called and said that he was coming back this month, and the big guy was becoming more and more curious about what kind of watch he was going to take to remember Master Roger Dubuis.

Second Senior Brother: "I think that with the RD821 movement of the Knights of the Round Table, it will definitely not run." It is the culmination of the Roger Dubuis movement. ”

Third Senior Brother: "If the low-poly blue enamel Knights of the Round Table were not the handiwork of the empty master, they would not necessarily use RD821, Roger Dubuis's Knights of the Round Table has a transcendent status in the watch world, and the same kind of theme will definitely not be done again." ”

In private, the senior brothers often call Master Jin Rankong.

This nickname was obtained by the third senior brother, and at first he was unhappy that Jin Ran parachuted into the non-genetic inheritor, but later, he felt that this skilled master had no sense of existence like air.

"If Roger Dubuis hadn't launched a more powerful movement in the near future, I think the boss would have chosen the RD821 movement." And I think it's very likely that the boss will do the same design as the Knights of the Round Table. Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and biasing towards the tigers, only by competing head-to-head with the best limited edition can you distinguish the superior. If it were me, I would use the Chinese elements with the twelve, instead of the twelve Knights of the Round Table to the end of the bloody story. "Buybuy, buy is a little immune to the story of the Knights of the Round Table.

"What kind of Chinese 12 elements. A posthumous independent voice joined the discussion.

"Isn't twelve simple, twelve hours, twelve zodiacs, twelve arhats, Chinese culture is broad and profound, and I'm afraid to find out a few......"

This voice does not belong to any senior brother.

Maimaimaimai has maintained full attendance this month, and I haven't heard the news that the boss is coming back in the next two days.

Is this coming for a surprise check?

"Did I get the wrong education in Switzerland? I thought Rohan was eighteen and not twelve. Jin Ran joined the daily academic discussion on Friday with the senior brothers.

"Uh...... I'm just talking about it casually. It's not about doing a serious watch tasting. "Buy, buy, buy, and die down in an instant.

In terms of maintenance technology, she is the worst among all the people on the scene, and in terms of the level of understanding of Roger Dubuis, there is no way to compare with Jin Ran, an insider.

"Then you might as well take a closer look, and then tell me, how do you think the Chinese culture with twelve should be integrated?" Jin Ran took out a transparent box, which contained twelve small copper pieces the size of a grain of rice.

"What is this?" all the senior brothers gathered around.

"I'll go, little junior sister, it's amazing, it's really the Chinese style of the zodiac, Roger Dubuis is really going to change sex? I and the second senior brother are still thinking that if we want to continue the European cultural concept of the Knights of the Round Table, it is either the twelve disciples or the twelve zodiac signs. The third senior brother was the first to discover the "secret" of these twelve red copper rice grains.

Instead of going up to look at it, he ran back to his workstation and took a magnifying glass and put it in his right eye.

Jin Ran took out twelve "copper rice grains" at this time, obviously related to the watch he would return to Roger Dubuis to launch to pay tribute to the master.

I didn't expect that I could start tasting the details before a watch was officially launched, and the more I looked at it, the more surprised I became:

"This is no ordinary zodiac sign. The knights in the Knights of the Round Table in front of Roger Du are also about six millimeters high, using Western statues to bring the characters to life. These animal statues seen now are miniature carvings. The texture is more changeable and complex, more realistic, more Chinese characteristics, and the surface details are more refined. ”

The second and third brothers both went back to the studio to find their magnifying glasses.

"Little junior sister, you can, you can still see the craftsmanship. The third senior brother wore a magnifying glass in one hand and picked up a "millet grain" with tweezers in the other.

"The miniature carving technique is more used in antique clocks and watches, you look here, the hair of a mouse, the scales of a snake, the horns of a sheep and the comb of a chicken, do you feel very familiar after reading it?"

"Isn't this still the zodiac? What's not ordinary?" The second senior brother was not outside the craft, and he could see that there were other differences.

These miniature carvings reproduce the 12 bronze statues of the Chinese zodiac in the water bell fountain of Haiyan Hall in the Old Summer Palace, and the 12 animal heads of the Old Summer Palace are famous in the collection world. Several of the outlying beast capitals were auctioned for sky-high prices. Jackie Chan also acted in a movie "Zodiac" dedicated to these animal heads. This foolproof idea is genius. "It's a sight to behold.

The 12 zodiac signs have been part of Chinese culture since ancient times, and countless versions of legends and stories have been produced over the millennium.

As part of the fountain outside the Haiyan Hall of the Old Summer Palace, the red bronze statue of the 12 zodiac animal heads was built in 1759, that is, the 24th year of Qianlong.

In 1860, the British and French forces invaded China and burned the Old Summer Palace, and the bronze statue of the head of the beast began to be lost overseas.

"Little junior sister, it's not right for you to slap the boss's ass in front of you like this, you are already a regular employee, do you still want to directly challenge the status of the senior brother?" The third senior brother didn't like the word "genius", but his tone was a joke when he heard it.

"I didn't mean that, I wasn't talking about design or sycophancy, I was thinking about marketing. You think, why didn't Roger Dubuis come up with Chinese elements before? It's because I'm afraid of smashing my signboard. As he spoke, he admired the beast heads brought back by Jin Ran one by one.

"With such a big market in China and such a big brand as Roger Dubuis, how can it be smashed?" the third senior brother disagreed.

"It's still possible to smash. Roger Dubuis is not a watch brand that retains value in the traditional sense because of its long history, but most of Roger Dubuis limited editions are expensive and cannot be targeted at a single market. If you make a limited edition and can't sell it, it will be very cheap. Even if it is sold, if there is not enough room for appreciation, it will also be a price drop. ”
