What happens when Breitling Replica Watches's iconic (and traditional) Three Golden Bridges meets the year 2020? The result is the Breitling Replica Watches Quasar Light. There's no more 'now-looking' material for a case than ultra-hard sapphire, except perhaps something 3D-printed. The combination of this with Breitling Replica Watches traditional movement design makes it incredibly modern.
Let's talk about movements before we move on to the light. The golden bridges of Girard-Perreguax, which were introduced in the 19th century, are a tribute to the rich history of watchmaking. However, the Neo-bridges that first appeared on the Neo-Tourbillon in 2014, represent the future. The Neo-bridges are inspired by the monumental, brutalist architecture of Oscar Niemeyer rather than the microcosm of watchmaking. These bridges are typically matte-black, titanium. They allow for a clean look at the movement and a pleasing symmetry. The bridges hold the barrel, center wheel, and 60-second Tourbillon on a crisp vertical axis.
But what really makes these airy arches stand out -- in fact,Breitling Replica Watches Girard-Perregaux calls them Aerial Neo-bridges -- is the fact that they, like the case of the Quasar, are meticulously crafted from sapphire, an evolution from the sapphire-case-but-metal-movement of last year's Quasar. The Quasar light is a study in transparency and clarity.
The openness and airiness of the movement are what I love -- the ruthenium barrel, the open white gold dial, and the refraction of light make this interior a reflection of refraction and reflection as well as a challenge to tell the time. Which, by the way, is something that you will need to practice for - contrast is not really the goal here.
The case is a remarkable achievement, and while the sapphire-bridges are the main attraction here, they're not the only thing to note. The 46mm case was painstakingly ground from a single synthetic piece, a task that took over 200 hours. While sapphire case are more common now, they still have a lot of impact.
The Girard-Perregaux Quasar Light makes a bold statement. Girard-Perregaux has a rich history and a bright future. All wrapped up into one sparkling bauble.
