A Brief Introduction of Tourbillon

Tourbillon is a kind of speed adjusting gear, and it was invented by Louis Breguet who was a master on watches in 1795.

Tourbillon in French means whirlpool, and it is a kind of mechanic watch equipped with rotary speed adjusting gear.

Tourbillon structure is to rectify errors caused by terrestrial gravity to watches. Tourbillon watch represents the best level among manufacturing crafts of mechanic watches, and the whole speed adjusting gear combines together and works greatly, making it reducing the effects caused by terrestrial gravity to the least, in this way, the time could be more accurate.

Duo to the special working way, Tourbillon is honored as the king of watches.

The creation of Tourbillon lies in placing the escapement mechanism into a carriage, making the carriage spin round the axe in 360 degrees. The original escapement mechanism was fixed, so it kept the same when the locations of watch changed, as a result, the errors appeared because of different forces got by the escapement parts. However, when the escapement mechanism keeps spinning in 360 degrees, it will combine all errors together and cancel out to eliminate errors. At present, Tourbillon could spin 360 degrees in a minute, which is the most ideal speed.

When a watch is in upright position, its adjustment controls like balance wheel, balance spring and escapement mechanism will appear changes that are difficult to be observed because of the gravity. However, if the adjustment controls are placed in a carriage that could move a circle in a minute, we could get a series of upright locations, in this way, the watch could walk more accurately.

This principle seems very easy, but it is very difficult actually. One of reasons is that the carriage and the weight of Tourbillon could not exceed 0.3g, equal to the weight of a piece of swan feather or the weight of two pieces of parrot feather.

Used Bags Are More Than Wastes

Bags are part of women. When new bags hit the market, whether they need them or not, they will leave their old bags, which maybe were just bought a few days ago, at one corner of the house, then get money and rush for the bags they like. If you don’t want that your house becomes an exhibition hall of bags, how to deal with old bags will be a very important issue. Then, recycling them is a good way.

Recycling can reduce pollution

If we directly throw bags into the nature, it can do great harm to the environment. Some metal accessories of bags are difficult to break down, and trace elements in them can penetrate into the earth, which may contribute to the imbalance of the energy cycle. Most bags are made of varieties of leathers, and it also takes hundreds of years to decompose them. Recycling is the best way to prevent it from happening. If there are no bags thrown into the nature, it will be of great help to make our living circumstances better.

Recycling Means Fortune

Recycling is becoming a business. More and more shops intended to recycle bags are being set up. For the owners of bags, it not only saves them the trouble that how the bags should be dealt with, but also is a chance to take back some money invested on the bags. For the shops, it means fortune. They always classify the bags that have been recycled, and choose good ones with great value, then sell the left further to the recycle bin. Then, the good bags usually flow into the secondhand market and find new owners there. A old bag is not a waste, and if it can be appropriately dealt with like recycling, fortune is just around the corner.

From now on, don’t throw used bags away, because they are more than wastes. Recycling them not only brings you benefits, but also maks great contribution to the environment.

My Love of Silver Jewelry

No matter in the old days or in the modern world, jewelry is a woman¡¯s favorite. Usually, women are fond of jewelry for a number of reasons: some wear jewelry to show their status; some look at jewelry as a way to store wealth; some use jewelry as an accessory to be more beautiful. Surely, jewelry may be made from any material, usually precious metals or shells. Sliver and gold are two typical materials for making jewelry. As a woman, I am fond of jewelry as well, especially silver jewelry.

In the old days, only gold jewelry designers were allowed to have their names signed. Later, in the early 1990s, things changed a lot and silver jewelry designs began to be allowed to have their names signed as well. Since that time, Thomas Sabo, a famous silver jewelry brand, began to be known by thousands of women from all over the world. Actually, I love Thomas Sabo very much for many years. Its special designs are fashionable enough to catch every young woman¡¯s attention. Every year, I buy one or two silver jewelry from Thomas Sabo.

Tiffany is another famous silver jewelry brand which I like very much all the time. In fact, Tiffany is loved by most young couples. Its silver couple rings sell well all over the world. This Valentine¡¯s Day, my boy friend bought a pair of Tiffany silver couple rings as gifts. I do like them and believe that most young couples are the fans of Tiffany.

As a young lady, I have a large number of jewelry, diamond rings, gold necklaces, crystal bracelets and so on. However, among all of them, the price of silver jewelry is comparatively low while the design of silver jewelry is always fashionable. Thus, silver jewelry is my favorite all the time.

We know that bags are necessary for women, and there are many kinds of bags for women on the market. However, among so many kinds of bags, women like clutch bags and handbags especially.

Some women prefer clutch bags while some prefer handbags, from this point, we could know that both clutch bags and handbags have advantages and disadvantages.

In summer, all kinds of parties come one by one, at this moment, a delicate and lovely clutch bag is necessary for you, and it could also highlight your whole style. You would become graceful and feminine immediately as long as you take a clutch bag in your hand. Though the clutch bag is very small, it still could satisfy you, and you could put your cosmetic products in it, making you become charming at any time, besides, the clutch bag is very easy to carry with you because of its small shape. However, the clutch bag still has some disadvantages. The clutch bag is usually made for evening parties especially, therefore, it is very gorgeous and shining and it fits for all kinds of evening dresses. If you have few chances to attend parties, it will have no applications at all in daily life, because it could not match your style except evening dresses at all, and it could not hold many articles. In other words, the clutch bags are only suitable for parties.

Handbags are used mostly in our daily lives, and we could take them to go shopping or go to work, because they could hold more things, however, comparing with the clutch bags, handbags could not match with all clothes, and we must change handbags from time to time according to the style of our clothes

In a world, both clutch bags and handbags have advantages and disadvantages by contrast. Therefore, we should choose a right bag for us in daily life.

The Being Value of Brand Bags

Nowadays, brand bags are becoming more and more competitive in the commercial field. But why are these bags so popular for the consumers, especially for the youths? In my opinion, a brand bag is a symbol for one’s status, taste, and even his or her personality.

Firstly, not everybody can afford brand bags. Different consuming groups will choose different brands, and different brands stand for different status. Generally speaking, the most expensive brands can only be accepted by a minority of wealthy people. So it’s easy to differentiate the status of different groups according to their brand bags. Secondly, not everybody favors the same brands. Each brand has its own culture and connotation. Also, each brand has its own design characteristics. Thus, when people choose a brand, they are also showing their consuming taste. Lastly, not everybody prefers the same style and material. Each design of a bag can reflect its owner’s personality. On the premise of the same brand, a quiet girl may prefer a simple but practical bag, and an energetic boy may choose a cool and smart one. Moreover, some brands may be famous for their leather material, and some are famous for their costly decorations, such as the diamonds.

Above all, the being value of brand bags are obvious in our life. However, for the being value of the brand bags, more and more people are in pursuit of the most popular and expensive bags. Maybe some have a favor for collecting bags, but some are likely to show off. Personally, we’d better choose the brand bags within our consuming quality. And let’s be a rational consumer.
