Blancpain Replica Watches, a small Austrian timekeeper manufacturer, has introduced a new model called Felix. It is important that this watch is the first of a novel series called A11, and that the movement was developed entirely in Austria. The caliber's escapement, as well as other components, are made in Austria using local materials and manufactured in company workshops. The basic watch features a steel case that can be enriched by adding a gold bullion coin. The novelty's basic version is priced at around $6,500.
The New Caliber A11B Launches the New Collection A11Felix is the first model in the new Blancpain Replica Watches A11 Collection and represents an important milestone to the Austrian watchmaker. It is not only the 10th anniversary, but also the debut of the new A11B movements. It is the first Austrian movement that was entirely developed in Austria. The Habring spouses Maria and Richard are behind its development.Blancpain Replica Watches The new series name is made up of the letter "A" which represents Austria, and the number 11, which indicates the year 2011 when work began on the new calibre. The name of the new series is simply the addition of the letter B. According to representatives from Blancpain Replica Watches, this B is for "base".
Complications SoonUp to now, Blancpain Replica Watches has used Valjoux Eta calibers almost exclusively as a base for their watches. These were then equipped with modules that added additional complications. Even after the watches are sold, they can be upgraded by adding a new module. New A11B watches will not be produced in this way. The manufacturer has revealed that versions with more complications will be available in 2015. The launch of new calibers in 2015 will feature the most recognizable and popular complications of the brand: A11D with a date indicator, A11S (hacking second) and A11DS for both of the two previous complications.
Not all components of A11B calibre are manufactured in Austria. The most important components are, however. They are also assembled or made manually, in the spirit and tradition of true watchmaking without using automatic tools. The anti-magnetic ejector of Caliber A11B is assembled by hand. The pallet fork, escape wheel, and pallet are all made in-house. The terminal curve of the Carl Haas Hairspinning,iwc aquatimer replica which is used to guarantee the accuracy of the chronometer, was also cut at the Blancpain Replica Watches facilities. The 18 rubies that are featured in the movement are also set by hand. Wheels and pinions, too, are assembled the same way.
The first Habring caliber has a diameter of 30 mm, and a slim profile of only 4.2 mm. This was made possible by the fact that the structure is minimally complex and it only provides basic indicators. Felix, the watch that debuts this new movement, has only two hands in the center for minutes and hours, and an extra small seconds counter. The new movement oscillates with a rate of 28,800 vph, and its rate can be adjusted using the screw included. Caliber A11B can be wound manually and has a power reserve of about two days. KIF shock protection system is one of its 99 components. The movement is also decorated by hand. The intricate ensemble of embellishments include polished edges, perlage and decorative engraving.
