Blancpain
Blancpain occasionally shows traces on its enamel dial, because the enamel dial itself is a work of art, and Blancpain attaches great importance to it. This mark is usually engraved between 4 o’clock, 5 o’clock or 7 and 8 o’clock. "The two letters are the initials of Blancpain's founder, Jehan-Jacques Blancpain. Such marks are extremely hidden and need to be tilted to a certain angle to be discovered.
Breguet
If you are a Breguet user, take out your love watch and enjoy it up close. You may find a hidden "signature", which is the famous Breguet signature. The origin of this egg dates back to the first birth of Breguet in the 18th century. At that time, Breguet was favored by the upper class and was a precious luxury. In order to prevent counterfeiting, Breguet etched the founder's signature on the dial, which only appeared when the light was illuminated at an oblique angle.
To this day, the hidden signature is still a mark to distinguish the authenticity of a Breguet watch, and it is also an exclusive feature of most Breguet watch dials. Now, Breguet watch lovers can usually find it near the 6 o’clock or 12 o’clock position of the watch. A handwritten signature.
Rolex
In the past, Rolex would engrave a serial number on the case to indicate its authenticity, but now, Rolex will engrave the words "ROLEXROLEXROLEX" on the inside of the bezel, and engrave the serial number at 6 o'clock. A small laser crown LOGO is made on the watch mirror at 6 o'clock. The line of the LOGO is a dotted line, which is very shallow and difficult to find. This is used as one of the basis for judging the authenticity.
Omega
Omega made an extremely tiny Ω mark in the center of its watch mirror, which was born in the early 1950s and continues to this day.
Vacheron Constantin
Vacheron Constantin's Vacheron Constantin Maestro watches with miniature or enamel painted decoration also have a unique anti-counterfeiting mark, applying money printing technology, and adding the engraving of the word "AP" under the watch mirror, that is, Anita Porchet's initials.
Lange
In terms of the appearance of the movement, Lange is the second, and I am afraid that no brand dares to call it the first. On the bridges of the movement, Lange likes to carve extremely beautiful and delicate petal flower patterns.
Grand Seiko
The watchmaker will also add some easter eggs to the watch to decorate or emphasize the identity. On the dial of the GS, you can see an eight-pointed star or a small pentagonal mark. The five-pointed star indicates that the trend error of the watch does not exceed 5 seconds/year; the eight-pointed star indicates that the dial, hands or hour markers of the watch are made of special materials.
The movement design of GS is also very special. For example, the outline of the bridge plate of the 9R01 movement comes from the outline of Mount Fuji that the watchmaker saw when making watches at the Shinshu Watch Workshop, so the movement with the outline of Mount Fuji is designed.
You might as well appreciate your watch carefully, maybe you can find other Easter eggs on your watch? Feeling this ingenuity left by the watchmaker, it is as if the two sides had a heart-to-heart dialogue that transcended time and space.
