Ronde de Monte-Carlo Watch by Ateliers deMonaco at BaselWorld 2012

The company Ateliers deMonaco, founded in 2009 in the Principality of Monaco, in the current year at the international exhibition BaselWorld 2012 has introduced a new collection of watches - Ronde de Monte-Carlo, which design is based on the principle of contrast: a black dial with silver central hands, hour markers and indices, a black strap and contrasting with them a case, encrusted with transparent diamonds.
The new model of Ateliers deMonaco is a combination of strict classics and luxury. An elegant round case, decorated with numerous diamonds, is made of 18K white gold (diameter - 39 mm, height - 11 mm).
The novelty is collected on the basis of an automatic mechanism with a silicon balance wheel.
In recent years, "Silicon" theme has become very popular in the watchmaking. Many companies have adopted a relatively inexpensive, but the tech substance in the manufacture of movement parts.

Silicon - a solid material with anti-magnetic properties and corrosion resistance. The surface of the silicon components is obtained perfectly smooth, with the result that the friction is reduced to a minimum and a low coefficient of friction eliminates the need for constant lubrication.
Not to be outdone by rival watch companies, Ateliers deMonaco began to produce models with the mechanisms, equipped with silicon parts. But the question is if they should chase the new-fangled trends, leaving aside the qualitative aspect?
Along with numerous advantages for silicon, there are some significant drawbacks, such as in the first place it should be noted "disposable" silicon components.
The elements of movements, made from this material cannot be repaired. If you have any problems with the mechanism, the master is unlikely to separate the silicon from the steel wheel axle.
The mechanism of the Ronde de Monte-Carlo watch runs at 28 800 pc / h, bridges, main plate and bi-colored gold rotor are decorated by hand.
The caliber is equipped with indication of hours, minutes and seconds. Time is shown by the central hands.
The novelty is released in a limited edition of 88 instances. To buy watches will be available through the authorized representatives of the company Ateliers deMonaco.
