Chapter 162 Complicated Craftsmanship, Expensive Price

When Wu Qian put on his gloves and picked up the watch, the salesman began to explain to him: "Mr. Wu, you can't find another Ref. 6300G-010 master string watch in the entire Tianchao. The first piece of Ref.6300G-010 arrived in Tianchao after the Basel watch exhibition, and the next piece is said to arrive in Pengcheng three months later.

010 has 20 complex functions, five timekeeping modes, and three gongs to realize five major timekeeping functions, namely grande sonnerie, petite sonnerie, minute repeater, timekeeping alarm clock and date chime, two of which are patented functions in the world first.I believe you must be familiar with Patek Philippe's timekeeping function, so I won't go into details, but let me introduce you to other aspects of this watch. "

Wu Qianzheng was looking at 6300G-010 carefully, and nodded when he heard the manager's words. He himself had learned about the general functions of this watch on the Internet.

"The double-sided white gold case is embellished with hand-engraved hobnail pattern, equipped with a blue dial with patented rotating mechanism, and the time face is also decorated with hand-engraved hobnail pattern. A set of special cufflinks is included with the watch. The double surface can be reversed, except for the time functions, as well as time, second time zone, moon phase, date, movement power reserve and striking power reserve.

The back is equipped with a perpetual calendar and four auxiliary dials with pointer date display, leap year cycle, week, month and 24-hour display, surrounding the central four-digit year display. "

Speaking of this, Wu Qian turned the watch over, and the hands on the four auxiliary dials operated independently without interfering with each other. It is hard to imagine how complicated this heavy watch movement is.

"Tsk tsk, how many parts does this watch movement have?"

The manager smiled, leaned closer to Wu Qian involuntarily, and said, "The complexity of this 6300G-010 movement is beyond imagination. The number of parts has reached 1366. There are only a handful of watches that can surpass it."

Wu Qian got a gust of fragrance in his nose. He looked at the manager in surprise, thinking that he had heard wrongly. There are about 1400 parts in such a small watch. How did they get stuffed in? The weight of a few grams is simply too precise.

Thinking of countless craftsmen day and night, with a magnifying glass in front of one eye, sitting under the light, holding delicate tools and tapping in their hands, this seriousness and meticulousness makes people feel inexplicably moved.

Wu Qian took the watch close for a while, and then moved away, looking back and forth at this masterpiece made by Swiss craftsmen, and sighed: "It's really a work of art, but the crocodile leather strap is not very used to it, help me a lot Prepare two."

While speaking, Wu Qian took off his gloves and was about to put the watch on his hand. The blue strap and dial set off a very calm temperament, low-key and restrained, but also showed absolute style.The real pretense is invisible, and most of the people who can recognize this watch are people of the same class.

Although a watch is an exquisite and compact object, time is a magical thing. The mechanical movement runs in an orderly manner, and the second hand rotates round and round. It has its own unique charm, which is similar to the passionate charm of a super sports car. Different, the watch brings more tranquility, a tranquility of the years, and choosing a suitable watch can greatly improve people's temperament, which is beyond doubt.

Wu Qian's actions scared the manager into a circle, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Wu, are you... are you sure you want to buy this Ref.6300G-010?" While speaking, the manager's hand had already touched Wu Qian's. On the back of the hand, this world-limited top-level watch is not just a try-on.If you really want to try it on, you need to carefully wrap the watch with plastic film.

"That's right. After the two of them finish picking, pay together." Wu Qian smiled and patted the manager's delicate and boneless hand, indicating that the other party could take it away.

The manager quickly withdrew his hand, stood aside dignifiedly, smiled politely and awkwardly: "Mr. Wu, you didn't even ask about the price of this watch." , had to tap it from the side.

Wu Qian really doesn’t know the price of this watch, but how expensive is a watch that can be sold in the store, there is no need to ask, as long as you like it, it’s fine. To be more realistic, Wu Qian has already passed that kind of When you want to buy something you like and ask the price.

Seeing the manager's nervous look, Wu Qian said, "You're very cautious, I'd better settle the bill for this watch first." Smiling, he took out the card and shook it, indicating to swipe the card.

Wu Qian didn't know that if he hadn't taken out this palladium card that symbolized his status as soon as he came, the manager would have never been able to show him this watch. There are not many pieces in the whole world, which is too rare. It's luck to meet you.

"No, no, Mr. Wu, you misunderstood me. I also think it would be more appropriate to wait for the two ladies to come together." The manager thought the other party was angry, but in fact she was thinking too much.It was even more uncomfortable to wait, so the manager simply assumed that Wu Qian would buy it, and introduced various methods of use to him in detail.

The timekeeping function really amazed Wu Qian. The sound like a church bell came from a watch with a diameter of less than five centimeters.

The bell rang softly in the quiet store, attracting Xiong Yali and Luo Xiaxin who were shopping, and the two women didn't like either.

"It's too mature." Xiong Yali said.

"Well, a little old-fashioned." Luo Xiaxin said.

This evaluation leaves few salesmen with nothing to say. Patek Philippe’s women’s watches are indeed not lively, and they are not very suitable for women in their 20s, unless they are strong women in high positions.

"Haha, okay, I'll take you to the store I showed you later." Wu Qian said.

The manager handed an extremely exquisite paper bag to Wu Qianqian, and said, "Mr. Wu, please check, the box is inside, the hour hand, the cuff buttons, the attached watch strap and the card are all in the box. , the selling price of this watch is 2380 million.”

This offer made Xiong Yali and Luo Xiaxin's hearts tighten. Standing in the cool shop, there was a thin layer of sweat on their backs.One watch, one house in the capital is more than that, scary.

Several beautiful salesmen standing aside had stiff smiles on their faces, and looked at Xiong Yali and Luo Xiaxin with envious eyes. They had already analyzed the relationship between the three through some details. Before, they thought it was a bit absurd. Thinking about it again, they also want to join in the absurdity, but they don't have the guts.

"Help me put this Dayton up and swipe the card." Wu Qian handed the card to the manager. He is here for consumption today. He fell in love with this watch at first sight, and he will buy it today.

When swiping the card, the manager thought that there would be a phone call to confirm, but it didn't. Make this kind of large transaction often, otherwise there will definitely be a phone call to verify.

Similar to this, there was an own joke in a bank before. A foreign rich man who was in the top [-] of the wealth list somehow became obsessed with a small web game, and then the game needed to be recharged. Use his palladium card-like card to recharge, sometimes thousands of dollars, sometimes thousands of dollars.

As a result, the card was frozen after a few recharges, and a verification call followed. The reason turned out to be that the consumption amount was too low and did not conform to the consumption record habit, which aroused the attention of the bank, thinking that the customer's card had been stolen. .

After the transaction was completed, the manager helped Wu Qian enter some basic information and uploaded it to Patek Philippe's Swiss headquarters. Qian Wu became Patek Philippe's VIP middle P in one fell swoop. In the future, as long as there are top-notch watches on the market, he will be notified. No brand would like such high-quality customers. Turn it down, that's insane.

"Mr. Wu, two beautiful ladies, please go slowly."

Four beautiful salesmen and the manager stood by the store door and bowed to send them off. It is true that Patek Philippe is a top brand, but usually customers buy mid-to-low grades ranging from around 10 to 100 million. But now, the order is completed in one order. With a transaction volume of more than 2000 million, what a performance!

The seven or eight customers waiting outside the store looked at Wu Qian and others who walked out of the store with weird eyes. They looked at the 010 on Wu Qian's wrist, which was pretty but couldn't tell which one it was. Watch pretending is not for ordinary people, because ordinary people can't understand the value of this watch at all.

And when customers who entered the store asked about Wu Qian, the manager and the salesperson kept tight-lipped. This is the most basic professional ethics. Even if it is used as a conversation piece, it is for them to talk to themselves, and they will not easily disclose customer information.

Wu Qian walked out of the shop, looked at the Patek Philippe on his wrist with satisfaction, and loved it beyond words.

"Beautiful, a work of art, take a breath, clean it."

Xiong Yali was carrying the packing bag and Luo Xiaxin walked beside him arm in arm, seeing the big boy who bought his favorite toy, the happy mood was transmitted to them, and they unconsciously raised their smiles.

"Go, it's your turn, Frank Muller, let's go." Wu Qian said.

Franck Muller is one level behind Patek Philippe. It is not a top-level watch, and it is only a watch brand established in 1983. Compared with Patek Philippe, which has a history of nearly 300 years, it lacks the rich historical accumulation and time. test.

Even so, Franck Muller still stands out in the high-priced watch market because Franck Muller has always been willing to integrate watchmaking craftsmanship with unlimited creativity, and a large number of unconventional creativity has made it a favorite of countless stars.

After staying in Patek Philippe for nearly half an hour, when I walked to the street, there were already more people. This world-famous pedestrian street will never lack tourists in any season, and there are many photographers with long guns and short guns. The beauties who come and go, the Internet celebrity building teams spare no effort to get a share of the Internet celebrity economy.

Walking on the street is really eye-catching, there are all kinds of beauties in all kinds of dresses, even if you don’t buy anything, it’s also a kind of enjoyment to sit in a shady place and see the beauties, but you have to put your mind right, otherwise That feeling of seeing what you can't get can quickly make you irritable.
