What is called the "Louis XV pointer"

The pointer is usually to watch, the minute and second hands apart (when the minute hand is set, second hand single count), it is probably a traditional, second hand is also known as SECONDE, is the meaning of the second needle, lined up to it not "the youngest." The reason is that the initial correction of the ancient clock, such as in the 16th century, European church is on the clock when only a pointer, and many staff have made the shape, so now in English hands and the staff is still the same meaning . Watches with two years of a long pointer, the second hand is there after, with the social and technological development, people also increase accuracy of time, there have been second hand, just do not know what to medieval doctor based Vein number of heart? Second hand is a large watch with small second hand is usually in the form, but with central sweep second hand is a modern watch features.

   So, when the clock pointer types and sub-types of Trinidad and Tobago, there are a variety of forms and changes, of course, their respective names, Louis XV pointer (LOUIS XV) is a typical class, until now, the use of this kinds of classical pointer is still much to watch, as if to become a standard.

   In addition to the pointer outside the Louis XV, Louis XVI there is a pointer (LOUIS XVI), carefully distinguish between Louis XV, Louis XVI pointer pointer more than fancy, more complex root tape, circle Cici Trinidad and Tobago, generated per pound complex, these complex patterns can only come from European culture and the artistic imagination. Louis XV and Louis XVI are the former French bourgeois revolution in France, the feudal autocratic emperor, when the Bastille prison break, free to guide the people, Louis XVI finally was also sent to the guillotine; estimates are not that popular good emperor, but to enjoy the extravagant palace, erosion of life that is certain, and maybe the emperor certainly fans watch, watch player, watch or else how to spend their name pointer will it?

   Louis XV pointer production complex, it is estimated precision time stamping process does not completely done by hand, or how to say watch it so valuable. Similarly in Europe, I feel the style of the Nordic region is relatively simple, very practical things tough shape, coupled with a modern scientific concept and design (such as building on the Bauhaus style), now watch the pointer is also increasingly simple, anything in evolution; but also continuation of the traditional, with a long history of watchmaking tradition, some of these design elements will be the same across the times. So someone said, from the clock pointer type can be resolved and determine the age of watch-making.

   Louis XV also extensive use of pointers in the pocket, the pocket watch of the pointer relative to smaller and more complex shapes need to chisel engraved, gold engraved so enamel dial pointer is the Louis XV style typical of that era pocket watch. Just watch as it's Terminator, watch hands so small, even if do not come out strong, but the pointer does not embody the artistic effect of Louis XV. So, watch the other a more basic and are based on the classical form of hands: Breguet hands.

   Louis XV pointer still characteristic is that they all are not "tail" in the classical clock pointer (around the needle), the rare view of the tail, the different and modern watches. So hands there is no "tail" is a watch (watch) the basis for dating or style.
