Timepieces made by
FELDO Luxury S.L. are always distinguished for being extra
special. These timepieces incorporate an extraordinary design
with high precision. This is the manufacturer’s
philosophy and motto:
"Every product must have its own technical mark and it has to be
easily recognized”
Obviously this statement is also valid for

timepieces models, instead the complication is the
product

material and a
great technical refinement, will soon discover that these
timepieces are the ones he is looking for.

extraordinary timepieces. These

commonly related to added functions appear. Every model is
different for this technical care in the details. Some luxury
timepieces can become mini-computers with multiple added
functions. FELDO timepieces are different from these

The Idea
The idea for a new

This drawing or design sketch is the first creation of the product
which is designed on a paper.
Project development
After de first drawing this is exported to a CAD software with the measurements and dimensions of the future product.
The
prototype
When the project is finished, a 3D visual model is generated and the prototype is manufactured on that basis.
In this way, we have the first real model of the timepiece to check
out the product and start the manufacturing of the product itself.
The test phase
At this stage, our timepieces are heavily tested to arrive to the
market without any failure in the product. At this stage, production
costs are also calculated.
Mini production
When the product has been tested, and it has successful passed all
the tests as well as all the production costs have been calculated,
the manufacturing process starts.

FELDO:
Accessories
The brand FELDO not only manufactures
timepieces but also it is
engaged in the manufacturing of other jewels like its cufflinks for
shirts. During the manufacturing of its cufflinks, FELDO also uses
the carbon as a key material. However, FELDO cufflinks have more
things in common with timepieces than the use of the same
materials so that the manufacturing process is the same in both
cases, that is, there is not a series production but very few units
are created which become almost exclusive products.
These accessories are like timepieces unique, that means that
each piece has been made individually making it unique and
exclusive. When purchasing any of FELDO products you can be sure
that you do not find any other identical to yours.
The processes used to manufacture either timepieces or any other
accessory are very exhaustive, also the manufacturing is carried out
by watchmakers and engineers with extensive experience in the world
of jewelry. The final product you acquire has previously gone
through the best hands. In addition you can benefit at any time of
the guarantee and security FELDO offers to the customers.
The guarantee is totally effective thanks to the confidence FELDO
has in its watchmakers, so these timepieces will be always extremely accurate. All this has been ensured by the complex
quality tests each FELDO product performs before appearing in the
market.
Below you can see some pictures of our engineers testing and
manufacturing our timepieces as well as some of the tools used
for that purpose.

Luxury for FELDO
Luxury for FELDO is more than manufacturing a watch as any those in
the market and the use of relevant materials. For FELDO, luxury
means to design its timepieces and also the customer can be
proud of the watch he or she wears in her/his wrist. FELDO
timepieces go beyond using entirely new techniques and designs to
highlight the manufacturer’s lemma: “Each product must have its own
easily recognized technical label”. All this is possible thanks to
our engineers’ wide experience as well as the great effort we make
every day to be an important brand in the luxury market.
Up to now most of the manufacturers of timepieces have been
creating pieces surrounded of precious stones and other luxury
materials. In FELDO, apart form using these luxury materials, we
have spent more time creating totally new designs that we trust will
please many people. Art is also present in the design of these
timepieces, so we can say that every FELDO’s design is a small
work of art.
Our design is not the only characteristic of our timepieces. Its
machinery is one of the most important element in FELDO timepieces. For that reason and thanks to the importance given to
machinery, FELDO watches FELDO 1-1 B/B and 1-2 R/B, have received
the seal of Geneva, a prestige, quality and overall accuracy seal
that is only given to a reduced group of timepieces due to its
strict criteria. In fact, this seal is the highest honor given to
our watchmakers by the Canton of Geneva. Moreover, this distinction
provides timepieces with an unique quality.
In FELDO future designs, you can be sure that both innovation and
luxury will be present to highlight and identify FELDO brand.

Materials
Gold
Gold is the material
which has been used in the manufacturing of jewelry. FELDO uses
gold in all its timepieces to enhance these products beauty.
Ceramics
Ceramics used by FELDO emphasize the technical handmade quality that distinguishes FELDO's timepieces. Ceramics are used in many technical areas from aeronautics to blades that are resistant to wear. FELDO uses the highest quality ceramics of the market.
Carbon
Carbon or carbon fiber is used in many technical fields, such as the material used to construct the bodies of Formula 1 cars and is also used in FELDO timepieces. The carbon
fiber has an exceptional beauty and resistance, so FELDO uses frequently this material in all its products.
Sapphire crystal
In FELDO wrist timepieces, double anti-reluctant sapphire crystal is used. This does not radiate and is therefore the best material of timepiece crystals. This is one of the best glass in the market and FELDO always uses it in its timepieces.
Kevlar
Kevlar, also known as aramid, is used in the security sector for bulletproof vests and is now in exclusive FELDO timepieces. This material is almost unbreakable, so this
fact turns our timepieces into long-lived elements.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel is
nowadays mostly used due to its aesthetics. FELDO uses the highest
quality stainless steel in the timepieces.
Rubber
This well-known material acts like a shock absorber for oscillations and is also used in FELDO luxury timepieces. This material is always used in any product in the market owing to its damping factor.
Titanium
Due to its high durability and light weight, titanium is used in aviation and for astro-navigation, so it is an interesting material for all FELDO luxury timepieces. Our products are manufactured and tested by the best engineers. We use in our timepieces this material mostly used in the aeronautical engineering.
Copper
This noble metal is an excellent heating material and an important conductor used in electro
technique. It is also a luxury material. Copper also has applications in FELDO timepieces.
The movements
The mechanisms in FELDO timepieces, whether manual, automatic or battery powered (depending on the model), are all high quality. They work accurately and by shaking. FELDO mechanism is precise and accurate. We can ensure this fact thanks to the ckeekings carried out before the product marketing.
The FELDO Box
FELDO timepieces always come in a small, high quality box, with a velvet base, a compartment for the clock and a tray for documents (certificate of authenticity, guarantee and instructions of use).
The certificate
Each FELDO timepiece comes with a certificate of authenticity that confirms that the timepiece has been manufactured according to the quality standards indicated. We can certify that your
timepiece is a FELDO product.
The strap
The exclusive leather strap is perfect for the extraordinary FELDO timepiece. FELDO wrist-watch has been hand
sewing. So, this wrist-watch is also a luxury product.
Extras
FELDO timepieces essentially seduce by their extraordinary design and extra secure technology. Many timepiece manufacturers put the mechanism of the timepiece first. Often the most important characteristics are new complications in design or at least ones that are established but improved upon.
With FELDO, our timepieces are designed using good technical mechanisms, attention is centered unequivocally on a different technical presentation, as nowadays even timepieces serve firstly to tell the time and secondly as a piece of jewelry.
Jewelry was very fashionable a thousand years ago and even today most people wear at least one piece of jewelry. The term jewel also refers to semi-precious stones which are often used to adorn more precious
materials. Nowadays, jewels are used to embellish the appearance of an item. In the past, however, aside from being of high material value, a jewel also had magical and even erotic value.
Heads of families were normally adorned with the most expensive
pieces of jewelry giving off an air of inaccessibility. Even today jewelry is used to show social status or to guarantee financial security. However, for most people a jewel is simply the most beautiful thing in the world.
Let us return to the repercussions of timepieces. Each suit at night becomes magnificent with an appropriate timepiece is being worn. These timepieces are always rare. Designers produce the most unusual forms. The
mechanism of the timepiece is its skeleton, the colours, the diverse forms and measurements are created and combined with diverse materials. In this way, a timepiece can be made to specifically suit each client.
Protection of the design
In each FELDO timepiece, we can always find, aside from its functionality, an original design or a special technical extra. These properties are protected by a patent once a new design has been created. This right of protection is granted by a Swiss institution and it's governed according to a European or a world-wide model. This reiterates the uniqueness and particularity of the timepiece and certifies its title as being an
exclusive piece. Thanks to this we can ensure you that any FELDO piece is unique.

Evolution of timepieces
During the Prehistory man measured time. Our ancestors built stone
columns so that when a start concurred the alignment of these
columns, it indicated an important moment or date. Ancient Egyptian
pillars were elements whose shadow moved with the passing of the day
and indicated the hours between dawn and sunset. The next step in
the measuring of time was the creation of background timepieces which
did not depend on stars to operate by themselves. Babylonian,
Egyptian, Chinese and Indian used a vessel of water, having a small
hole in the bottom, so that the liquid dripped out drop by drop. As
the level within the jar was lowered, it showed the time upon a
scale and indicated the hours. Another kind of timepiece was the the
sand-glass or hourglass which appeared approximately 500 years ago.
Fine sand poured through a tiny hole from an upper into a lower
compartment. When one of the funnel-shaped bowls had emptied
itself--then waited with entire unconcern until some one stood it
upon its head and caused the sand to run back again. Another method
used to measure time consisted on measuring time while a substance
was consumed or burnt. The most famous of these timepieces type was the
one formed by a graduated candle, however rope with knots and oil
lamps with graduated depot were also commonly used. Mechanical
timepieces with clock hands which slowly were moved by the action of
gears firstly appeared some centuries ago. There is still available
in Paris a clock created in 1364 to Charles V. In these primitive
timepieces the movement was originated by means of a hanging weight
which boosted a gear wheel whose teeth were placed perpendicular to
its diameter. Two laminations called “pumps”, placed on a horizontal
axis which oscillated, engaged the previously mentioned gear wheel
teeth and regulated its movement. This was the first system used for
timepieces as well as the weight was the first driving system. We also
need to talk about the third essential system of a timepiece which is
the oscillator in charge of the escape movements. In the primitive
timepiece we are dealing with, this function was carried out by a
jemmy
fixed to the end of the escape axis (the one with the two
laminations) which oscillated by the impulse produced by the teeth
of the gear wheel. The oscillation duration was regulated by means
of a slide weight fixed to the jemmy. These timepieces were sometimes
inaccurate due to their original mechanisms: escape and oscillation.
History of timepieces Our civilization has
been always trying to measure time fractions as a registration of a
constant activity or as a silent calm. Since our origins, humans
have been trying to measure time to organize their lives and
destination. Ancient civilizations measure time according to the
alternation between day and night, as well as Moon cycles. Little by
little our ancestors created instrument to divide time by shadows
with increasing accuracy. Clocks were starting to operate. At first
Sundials told the time thanks to the Sun movement on a flat surface
with a clock type indicator. Arqueologists have discovered that
Chinese used timepieces 3.000 years before Christ as well as
Egyptians and Incas do. These first timepieces do not work during
the night or in cloudy days or even in twilight or dawn. Also clock
type indicators should be modified depending of the earth latitudes
when the sun beams inclination was different. This was not a very
secure way of measuring time owing to day duration was different
period of the year. Clepsydras appeared at that time in Babylon ad
Egypt first and later in Greece and Rome, they were a kind of a
vessel of water, having a small hole in the bottom, so that the
liquid dripped out drop by drope. As the level within the jar was
lowered, it showed the time upon a scale. Romans used this kind of
timepieces in the Judgements to control the development of the
hearings. A similar system but with marked candles was using during
the night. In the III century BC, sand timepieces appeared with two
vessels connected by a narrow tube. Have you ever seen these small
sand timepieces which were famous to measure minutes while talking
by phone? Sure you have. In the past sand timepieces were bigger and
could measure the time of one day. Anyway time passed until the
machines started to be important in society. At the very beginning of
the VIII century the Italian Pacific created one timepiece which
worked by means of counterweights and was given to the king Pepin
the short by the Pope Paulo I. These were the first steps. In 1.300
these mechanisms were very common in some European churches. The
oldest clock is in the Cathedral of Salisbury,England which was
installed in 1386. These kind of timepieces became more efficient
with the discovering of the Pendulum Law created by Galileo Galilei
1600. Thanks to this discovering, the Duch mathematician and
physicists Christian Huygens would create the first timepiece with
pendulum in 1657 in a wall clock. Some time later, one hundred years
before, in the German city of Nuremberg the first wound clocks were
created, these timepieces were portable ones. Ginebra was very
famous as timepiece-making center. The Calvinistic legislation in
this city prevented the manufacturing of “crosses, chalices and
other religious instruments”, so these craftsmen lost their French
and natives of Savoy customers. So, they decided to create boxes for
timepieces mechanism, working with timepiece-makers. At the
beginning of the XVII century, the timepiece-making in Geneve was
very important and it went beyond the frontiers to make exhibitions
in Lyon and Francfort fairs. The advance in timepiece-making had
been very important but it was necessary to solve problems such as
pices wear and inaccuracy in time measurement. Nicolas Faccio could
modify this aspect in 1704. He used rubies and aspires as pivots in
the timepieces mechanism. This pieces harshness reduced the mistakes
due to friction and wear. This meant an important improvement in the
timepiece-making industry. Nowadays, we have a wide range of
timepieces types and qualities: electrical, timers, alarm clocks,
wrist timepieces, digital, atomic, etc.. Wrist timepieces were
created in 1904 by the Suitzerland timepiece maker Hans Wildsorf from
Rolex.: Only six years later they created the first wrist timer.
Atomic timepieces, started to be created in 1949 being one of the
pacific application of the nuclear energy. Finally, we want to
remark that the use of quartz in timepieces started in Beil
Laboratories, from 1980 with a
clock type
indicator where the time
could be seen through a display to see the time just with a look.
From that moment a long way has been walked.
Quartz timepieces A quartz timepiece uses an electronic oscillator that is regulated by a quartz crystal to keep time. This crystal oscillator creates a signal with very precise frequency, so that quartz clocks are at least an order of magnitude more accurate than good mechanical clocks.
Time The measurement of time is so critical to the functioning of modern societies that it is coordinated at an international level. The basis for scientific time is a continuous count of seconds based on atomic clocks around the world, known as the International Atomic Time (TAI). This is the yardstick for other time scales, including Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which is the basis for civil time.
Time keeping This indicates the general accuracy of a timepiece and can be determined over 24 hour periods at how well it keep time. All types of timepieces and timepiece movements have different time keeping abilities according to the technology being used.
Tourbillon (or whirlwind)
A Tourbillon is a timepiece in which the entire escapement assembly rotates.
