Chapter 1197: Appreciating Famous Watches

Everyone was very happy with this meal. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Especially after knowing the results of the other party's auction, the mood is better.

At that time, when the other party took out 400-year-old wild ginseng, it attracted a lot of attention, and many people wanted to participate in the auction.

As a result, after Shengqian Auction Company took out 200 years of purple jade ginseng, it didn't need any publicity, and attracted everyone's attention.

Although the vintage of purple jade ginseng is only half of that of wild ginseng, the transaction price of the latter is 10 million, while the transaction price of the former is 50 million, a five-fold difference.

If there is no purple ginseng, although the transaction price of this wild ginseng will not reach 50 million, it will still be promising to auction 20 million.

It's a pity that this wild ginseng and purple jade ginseng were auctioned on the same day, or even at the same time.

And the people who really have the financial resources have participated in the auction of purple ginseng, but the auction of wild ginseng, naturally not many people participated, and the transaction price of 10 million was auctioned.

Now it is estimated that the other party's intestines are going to regret it, and it should be auctioned in advance, or the auction time should be postponed.

If this is done, there will be no such ugly results, at least the transaction price will be higher than 10 million.

But unfortunately, things have already happened, and there is no if, it is impossible to change, and we can only accept the facts.

With the help of wild ginseng, Shengqian Auction Company won a big victory, not only held a very successful auction, but also received a very high evaluation, which can be described as fame and fortune.

"It's really not interesting for you to not let me participate in such a wonderful show. Hu Shengqi said suddenly.

Xu Zhiqian said: "Who said that you won't be allowed to participate, I don't have your contact information, so there is no way to notify you, but my invitation has been sent to your store, haven't you received it?"

"Hey, it seems like that. Hu Shengqi remembered a little, and then said: "At that time, I seemed to treat this invitation as a leaflet, and then I just threw it away, don't you say this?"

Hearing this, Xu Zhiqian could only nod and said, "I think this should be it." ”

In the end, it was not that Xu Zhiqian was not invited, but that he himself lost the invitation, so no one is to blame.

"Oh my God, what the hell did I do. Hu Shengqi shouted.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Zhiqian said: "Okay, don't care, if there is an auction next time, I will definitely invite you to participate, now we exchange contact information, we can also contact each other in the future, and we will come out to play together when we have time." ”

"Good. Hu Shengqi immediately agreed.

After eating, Su Yi and the others drove back, they all had their own things to do, and there was no way to continue playing.

Back at home, Su Yi immediately took out the Breguet N°217 engraved pocket watch and put it on the table to admire.

He hadn't looked at the watch since the end of the auction, and now he has the time, of course, to take it out and enjoy it.

Since Su Yi likes to collect famous watches, he is no stranger to the brand Breguet.

Founded in 1775, the Breguet brand has a history of 240 years and has witnessed many eras, each of which has shined brightly.

More than 70% of the technology in the mechanical watch industry was invented by Breguet, and the three most representative complications are the tourbillon, the perpetual calendar and the minute repeater, which can be said to be the leader in the field of fine watchmaking.

It is said that at least two technologies, inventions, patents and devices of any brand of mechanical watch in the world, whether hand-wound or self-winding, come from Breguet.

If you take away the part that belongs to Breguet, no watch will function properly, so it is said that every mechanical watch has a shadow of Breguet.

Therefore, Breguet is the purest haute horlogerie brand, and has also received the title of "King of Watches", as well as the reputation of "the father of modern watchmaking", which is a testimony to its strength.

If you take a closer look at Breguet, you will see how fascinating Breguet's history is, and its founder, Abraham Louis Breguet, is a king and a genius who has shown extraordinary talent for complex machinery.

For example, in 1780, Monsieur Breguet introduced the automatic watch, and later invented the chime spring, which greatly reduced the width of the sonnerner, and the world's first anti-shock device for watches, which made the watch less vulnerable to damage and more reliable, the fixed-speed escapement, the Breguet balance spring, the circling spring system of the minute repeater, and the striking clock.

and the tourbillon standard timepiece, patented in 1801, so that all mechanical watches today have at least two Breguet inventions.

Even today, Abraham-Louis Breguet is known as the "father of modern watchmaking".

Since its inception, each Breguet timepiece has been individually numbered, allowing collectors to determine its legitimacy and provenance.

This tradition continues with a unique production number on each Breguet watch, a testament to the watchmaking know-how and dedication that has been passed down from generation to generation.

For example, Su Yi's Breguet N°217 pocket watch has a unique production number, so that future generations can understand its birth and history.

As soon as he opened the box, he saw a delicate pocket watch, and it was the Breguet N°217 engraved pocket watch.

This Breguet N°217 engraved pocket watch, which has a history of more than 200 years, is also the first generation of Breguet's pocket watch, and has a high collection value.

It is precisely because of understanding the history of Breguet and the value of this pocket watch that Su Yi did not hesitate to pay the price of 23 million just to get it.

Although this Breguet N°217 engraved pocket watch has gone through more than 200 years, time has not left too many traces on it, and it still looks very new, of course, it cannot be said to be brand new, but at least it does not make it feel old, which shows that it is very well preserved.

Su Yi thinks that this Breguet N°217 engraved pocket watch is the most suitable for the old and new, which is neither too old nor too new, so that people can see its sense of history and know that it is a pocket watch from more than 200 years.

It's hard to imagine that a pocket watch that is more than 200 years old is still so intact to this day, which is really rare.

Therefore, the more Su Yi looked at it, the more he liked it, and the more satisfied he became with this pocket watch.

23 million, it's really worth it, he doesn't feel a little distressed, some are just full of joy.

If Su Yi had a chance to choose, to buy it or not, he would still choose to buy it for 23 million without hesitation, even if it was higher, he would be willing. (To be continued.) )
