When we think of time we tend to classify it, which, unlike the
classification of life forms and their evolution, does not offer us any
better understanding of it.
What is a minute when we look at our
Swiss watches but
a sixtieth of an hour, and how many hours until we find ourselves at
the same time tomorrow? Why, twenty-four of course. But twenty-four
hours can just as easily become part of the same forgotten drift of a
single minute.
And years! When our little watch hand revolves 8766 times we can find
ourselves reflecting on what we were doing at the very first
revolution. And what happened during all those hours in between? What
can we remember about them that will allow us to set them apart from the
next 8766. How many of those thousands of hours stick out in our minds?
How many of those minutes, those seconds, crystallize in our memories
into something we remember forever — an instant of permanence, to us at
least.
How do we keep track of it all? Well, we start by wearing
watches. And although that doesn’t help us understand time, at least we won’t be late when meeting people who think they do.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual
A concept watch in the true definition of the word. Unlike
many other of well known luxury brands concept watches that are
released to the public, the Cartier ID One Concept Watch is not meant
for production but is simply helping Cartier explore "the solutions of
tomorrows high watchmaking." The watch is unique in that it has a 16 1/2 home made mechanical movement which requires no adjustment whatsoever. The
watch features a Ballon Bleu shaped case that is 46 milimeters wide,
which is constructed out of a sturdy material called Niobium Titanium - a
special titanium alloy that is even harder and more durable than
titanium. 
The
Cartier ID-One Concept Watch was created to house an in-house made
automatic tourbillon movement that requires no regulation and adjustment
during the whole life of the watch. Currently
every mechanical watch has several points that need to be adjusted
during the assembly process,such as the hairspring, the balance, and the
pallet fork. Their
new Zerodur (a compound of ceramic and glass) hairspring can retain its
original status in a wide range of temperatures and is not affected by
magnetic fields at all. Carbor
Crystal has been applied to the balance wheel, escape wheel and lever
increasing their hardness and making itpossible for the escapement to be
completely free from oil. The movement also as an exclusive escapement cage that is effectively shock resistant.
