Blazevic like to collect watches, well known in Croatia, but the watchmaker in Switzerland, where he had done apprentices seldom hit the newspapers the past. Blazevic always said that 45 years ago in their life easily have stricken out of a shadow, and he done a lot of miscellaneous job, to do the priest, as an electrician, learning assembly ... ... who watches his football career does not affect the same time, can supplement the family income of the odd jobs he is willing to get there. In all of them part-time, workers do watch one of his favorite, and this part-time for his future as a watch collector foundation.
first watch is to do their own
in quantitative terms, the collection Blazevic not really a lot, but at present have 41 watches in Many are boutique in the boutique. Interestingly, in these collections of watches, he first turned out to be a collection of hand-assembly of their unnamed watch. "I went to Switzerland in early 60s to play, his family also were there, the team gave me the general people pay to maintain the standard of living, but I hope my wife and children to live better, so I wanted to approach go to some play but also can make money without any delay of part-time work, the Swiss watch industry is very developed, many places to recruit apprentices, I think this may be a craft to make a living, even after the football this road go elsewhere, I With this craft should be able to feed their families. "Blazevic moved to Switzerland, he lived in Neuchâtel, which is the city famous Swiss watch, but also the world-famous watch manufacturing center. Blazevic done quickly found a master watchmaker, and that the clock be a larger workshop, and about ten people working with children, usually one or two chefs in Switzerland will be able to prop up a store, just a good skill able to receive job. Blazevic master clocks from the birthplace of the Swiss watch industry Jura valleys, he not only can the assembly of precision parts, but also their own children to produce movement, so there learned a comparison Blazevic comprehensive skills.
old cloth parts start with some basic understanding of children start, every other person he wanted to finish job after the parts are stored back to the appropriate place, so he knew a little of each parts name and function. And is part of the assembly, to some mechanical arm and the gear shaft rotation in accordance with the requirements of the assembly up, he learned quickly, and often work overtime to take home some night job to do. "When you put some cold lifeless child personally assembled the parts together and see they have power or ticking sound, you will have a sense of satisfaction, your heart would beat with them." Because doing Well, Blazevic was turned over five times the wage, so that other people in the workshops are very envious.
in his spare time, Blazevic to normal after the repair or elimination of some major manufacturers of standard parts that quality is not enough saved up, try to install a piece of his watch. "I have assembled the most basic function of a watch, but this watch for me is priceless. Movement, case, dial, or even see each of the screws and grooves are polished again to complete my , very resistant, I wore no trace of years all traces of wear and tear, but rather then I bought some expensive watches, some less than a year there are obvious signs of wear. industrialized production line out, there are still many places can not be compared with the pure hand-made. "Blazevic watches produced by learning, cultivate his own heart and mind, exercise the will power, make him last you a lifetime.
41 块 mostly limited edition watch
watch collections do not understand a lot of people think, the basic function of the table, but is run time, so if you just want to know accurate time, wearing a watch phone electronic form or on the line. Blazevic very much opposed to that argument, "watches the basic function is to tell you the time, but the real meaning and value lies in its emotional elements, how watchmakers presented through a variety of complex mechanical time, is the real watches value. "He always said there is a mechanical life, but many people think that mechanical watches are not allowed, more accurate quartz watches go, while production of the quartz watch also fixed the eligibility criteria, so many modern people are respected quartz. But the elder Bush has a very interesting theory: "We all know that a child was very hard and risk, and do not know whether their expectations, and if so according to this calculation, but is more cost-effective according to the standard adopted children, but knowing that why many people still want to own a living? "Blazevic said he was not flatly denies the quartz watch, but he lost a lot of mechanical technology was sad, but also precisely because of the rise of the Japanese Seiko quartz , making the Swiss watch industry suffered a devastating blow.
Blazevic time in nearly four decades of collection of 41 watches, some he had never worn, just purchased to use as a collection, such as Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin's limited edition, top ten in the world of watches, each brand has a collection of his, in addition to the above two, he also Audemars Piguet, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Blancpain, Breguet, IWC, Rolex and card in Asia. Usually prefers to wear his own is the IWC and Cartier general section, because the collection is really worth the complexity of the watch big money, the more complex the higher the value of the collection, while the complexity of these processes to take care not watch if words is also very vulnerable to injury or failure, Blazevic has a good friend to politicians, Vacheron Constantin, wearing a high-grade mechanical watches to play golf, because the arm swing which leads to excessive mechanical gear failure, maintenance spend a lot of money. "Not to say that the table will certainly be more expensive the better, some expensive, because the table itself, the table set with many diamonds and gold, not the table itself has a high technological value. I do not like that kind of watches, people feel too conspicuous, not a real love for the watch industry. Of course, these exaggerated some beautiful ladies watch for wear, as stone setting process also requires a high level. does not mean you can buy all the expensive watch collection, you have to see this watch have any innovative or unique design, it is best limited, the fewer the number, the greater the appreciation of space, this point no one can compared with Patek Philippe. "Blazevic has a collection of three Patek Philippe watches, he will pass on their own will they were two daughters and a son, he had put their names in Switzerland, Patek Philippe, the company registered a record, but the watch still on his hands, " In my lifetime, not going to watch them, unless I die so that they will inherit my estate. "
Blazevic usually prefer to wear the IWC Portuguese Series There Cartier
Tonneau two time tables, and Rolex. IWC known as the "engineer watches," Blazevic often invited to do a visiting professor by the University, so he found his identity and to wear tasteful IWC, Portugal series is the classic IWC watches . Cartier form two he likes to wear when you go abroad, a display time for another show of Chinese Croatian time, to facilitate his contact with the family; Rolex watches are a number of business forums in his presence or occasionally wear when meeting tables section. "In Croatia, the senior officials are too precious to wear a watch, can not avoid questioning by the media and public sources, or will be suspected of corruption. Like our female prime minister with a watch brand she signed the contract, free to wear the the latest brand watches, after all, she represents a country's image. only I do not be too many questions, because I have my own coaching work, have a legitimate source of income. "Blazevic said at last.
