1，Unique properties of meteorites : Meteorites are fragments of comets or asteroids from outer space with unique physical and chemical properties. Meteorites are mainly composed of elements such as iron, nickel and silicate, which not only determine the types of meteorites, but also affect their appearance and properties . Iron meteorites, for example, have cooled slowly over millions of years as they travel through space, forming the distinctive Weidmann pattern .
2, the processing process of meteorite dial : The process of making meteorite watch dial is very tedious. First, the meteorite needs to be sliced and polished, followed by an acid bath to make the characteristic patterns clearly visible . Due to the fine craftsmanship and great patience required by the processing process, there are very few brands that can use meteorites to make dial faces, and usually only high-end luxury brands such as Jaeger-Lecoultre, Piaget, Omega and Rolex will use this material
3, the design and functions of meteorite watches : meteorite watches not only have a unique appearance, but also have a variety of functions. For example, Rolex’s cosmic Ditona Meteorite Dial uses a “panda dial” design to improve readability, and the metal meteorite inside the dial has been sliced and chemically treated to reveal the beautiful Weidmann pattern inside . In addition, these watches are usually equipped with high-performance mechanical movements to ensure accurate timekeeping and have multiple functions such as calendar, weekly and monthly calendar .
4, the historical and cultural significance of meteorite watch : meteorite watch is not only a timekeeping tool, but also a symbol of culture and history. For example, Fiyada’s “Space Walk” meteorite watch not only shows the unique texture of meteorites, but also pays tribute to the brave spirit of human beings in exploring space . This combination of high-tech and historical and cultural products makes meteorite watches highly valuable in the collection world and the fashion world.
