Review of Swiss men's watches Epos from the Originale collection

"There are machines designed to make us laugh, to help us, and those that measure our time - like a clock" Yugo Cobre, Keeper of Time

There are hours about which one would like to write in verse… But we are not poets. We restrict ourselves to plain text.

If you are looking for a sample watch to match a fine Swiss made suit, here are a few explanations. Swiss Made – that already says a lot. But even among Swiss mechanical wristwatches, these are quite special.

Caliber Peseux 7001. A bit of history can't hurt here.

Since June 23, 1973, all the official testing agencies of Switzerland have united under the auspices of the Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, or COSC The director of this organization was in La Chaux-de-Fonds (La Chaux-de-Fonds), and the agencies themselves have been located in Bienne since 1877 , Geneva since 1886 and Le Locle since 1901. Each caliber is tested separately for 15 days in 5 different positions, at temperatures of +80C, +230C and +380C.

The COSC requirements are like the highest standard for a precious metal. 7 positions are carefully checked. Average daily course, average deviation of the daily course, maximum deviation of the daily course, difference between the daily movements between the vertical and horizontal positions of the mechanism, the largest difference between the average daily and daily movements of the clock, the deviation of the daily course when the temperature changes by 1 degree Celsius, the change in the daily course between the first two days of testing and the last day are the measurements that COSC takes. Compliance with these standards is a great recommendation. Of the watches that are not official chronometers, those built on the Peseux 7001 movement are as close as possible to these requirements.

You can enjoy not only excellent accuracy, but also the aesthetics of this caliber. Look at it through the transparent case back (sapphire glass)! It is said that one can endlessly look at the blazing fire, the flow of water and the skillful work of man. Feel free to add a Peseux caliber 7001 to this list. This Epos watch gives you that opportunity!

Keep in mind that this watch is also surprisingly thin, the thickness of the case is only 5,9mm. Even for Swiss work, this is a regal subtlety! Diameter - 39mm. This is not the kind of watch that is worn so that everyone can see it. You want to look at them yourself.

Pay attention to the mysterious iridescent blue color of the dial. This twinkling is the result of an amazing art called Cotes de Geneve - or "Geneva waves": processing the dial with the finest cutter, individually, by a highly qualified specialist! To turn ordinary metal into precious - alchemists could not, but the Swiss masters were able to ...

The fine steel case shines like platinum. If it were really made of platinum, the watch would not be better. Except it's more expensive. But they do not need expensive “clothes” – it was the work of human hands that made them unique.

An ordinary leather strap with a classic clasp - this miracle does not need any frills! WR 30 - they will withstand rain and splashes perfectly, but they require respect!

It is these watches that make people collectors, but this is not necessary. It is impossible to have everything. But if you want to buy a real Watch, with a capital letter - perhaps this Epos model is exactly what you are looking for?!
