Currently, Stone Dial is looking at a large -scale revival of watch production. In the 2020s, which appeared in the first appearance in the 1960s and traditionally high -end watchmen such as Piagier, Rolex, and Cartier, the 2020s were more valuable and half -provided in the clock dial. I have seen -The traditional Lapis Lazuli and Onyx branch into more unusual stones, such as Pietersite and Labbradorite. It’s just hurt the surface.
Another rare stone that is starting to be used in the clock dial -mainly Danish’s independent brand Arcanaut (I’m excited to announce that Tide+Tide Discovery Studios in London and Melbourne is in stock) Is Fordite, Detroit Agate or Motor City Agate … it’s not really a stone. However, it is a very unique material, not only visually looks wonderful, but also celebrates the history of the American automotive industry.
In essence, Fordite is a material made of sophisticated fragments with finely hierarchicals harvested from a car factory in Michigan. (The name is referenced to the Ford Motor Company, but Ford has no explicit connection with Ford.) Hundreds of thousands of carbodies are sprayed by hand with acrylic paint. Rolling, a layer accumulates on the overlap layer. Track and skid that cars are trolling. As Fordite.com explains, these layers have been repeatedly cured in the oven, and the car’s body has entered to cure the paint. Some of these deeper layers are baked more than 100 times.
Recently, consumers are much more conservative in cars -most cars sold around the world are white, black, or silver, but Detroit has reached its peak in the 1950s and 1950s. Did the United States experience a boom after World War II? Americans bought cars in all kinds of bright colors. The truck and the skid remained the same if the colors were frequently filled with different colors, but over time, the accumulation of this paint lag was hundreds of different colors, even if it was not hundreds of different colors. I have
Eventually, this accumulation had to hinder and delete the production process. Initially, it was just abandoned, but Michigan’s automotive workers have a surprising psychedelic -colored material that can be easily sophisticated when the paint is cut vertically, can be built in jewelry and other objects. Will be revealed. Canny Lapidarists and Motoring Averist even volunteered to help workers remove some paints to secure some for themselves.
Recently, Fordite is “not aggressively produced” as before the 70’s. Development of electrostatic spray painting has rarely generated over -spray, and most of them are executed with robots, so it has been replaced by acrylic hand painting. It may not be a valuable stone, but it is a finite resource. Some jewelers tried to create a synthetic for date, but according to Arcanaut, they are much more compact or durable than the real thing. In fact, Maestro, a material for Alca Note, and James “Black Baja” Thompson were the first people who first improved the process of using the foresty in high -end watch designs.
Recently, ARCANAUT’s Arc II Fordite Watches is probably the most famous Fordite art in the world. The beauty of Fordite is that each cut of the material has a unique pattern, like a real stone dial. In other words, all Arc II Fordite Watch is a unique work. The pattern found in Fordite is different from what other stones are found. Fordite has a colored or aggressive radial striped splagge.
ARCANAUT ARC II Fordite’s range, this motor city’s Agate SHINE is a dial that is completely characteristic for the skeletons housed in a modern minimalist micro blast steel steel case equipped with colorful integrated FKM rubber straps. I have As the design of Detroit’s cars in the 1950s and 60s was inspired by the atoms and space races, the design of Arcanaut Arc II is clearly science fiction and evokes Marc Newson’s works and Googie architecture. Under the bonnet, there is a 42 -hour power reserve, and things are kept simple with Soprod A10 automatic movement, which supports ARC II’s 100 -meter water -resistant rating.
In London and Melbourne’s Tide+Tide Discovery Studios, you can use limited range ARCANAUT ARC II Fordite Watches only in stores. All of these are unique works because the two Fordite dials are not exactly the same. Price: $ 7,040. Click here for details.
