Patek Philippe Replica Watches - Straw MarquetryThe next pre-selected timepiece in the Artistic Crafts category is a timekeeper by Hermes which shows off the straw marquetry technique.Patek Philippe Replica Watches It is one of the crafts that requires a lot of skill and patience and everything starts with growing the right type of rye whose straws are long and smooth and therefore suitable for the task. The stems of the plants that are all cultivated at a single plantation are scythed by a hand of a skilled craftsman and subsequently dyed. What comes next are successive baths and drying which are both necessary for the creation of specific colors. Once this is done, an artisan combines the different colored straws into an impressive composition while taking into account not just the shades, but also the direction of the fibers on the plants. In this case, Arceau opted to combine the straws in order to form its iconic H Cube geometrical motif that plays with illusions of perspective, which was envisioned by the brand's legend - the designer, Henri d'Origny. The H Cube motif made with the upmost precision on a very small space was executed in warm red, yellow and orange colors. The AR8.790.320/ZBA timepiece by Hermes from the Arceu collection is fitted in a white gold case, just like many of the other contenders for the prize. It is 41 mm wide, 9.6 mm thick and with the guaranteed waterprofness of 30 meters. Inside the circular casing there is H1837 manufacture automatic mechanical movement which can be observed through a see-though case-back. It has the rate of 28,800, involves hours and minutes as functions and provides a power storage of 50 hours. The eight-piece limited edition watch by Hermes is the cheapest one on the shortlist with the approximate value of about $55,000.
