Roger Dubuis New Excalibur Aventador S Watches Combinate With Lamborghini

Leave a Reply

Having forged a partnership with tyre-maker Pirelli, which was announced at SIHH 2017, and a subsequent tie-up with Italdesign Giugiaro, Roger Dubuis replica watches continue to deepen its association with motorsport by partnering with one of its most legendary marques, Lamborghini. This union is being inaugurated with a pair of Excalibur Aventador S watches.

“The collaboration came by chance, and it became kind of a love story quite quickly,” explains Edouard Cottin, the watchmaker’s International Sales Director. “We were thinking about associating our brand with other universes, and we wanted to find an interesting angle in terms of product innovation, with regards to mechanics, materials as well as design.”

“We’re not in a fun industry,” says Cottin, “but we have more and more millennials who are out looking for fun. If you can add different dimensions to a one-dimensional product; a disruptive approach to a classical product, they are very receptive.” For its Pirelli collaboration, Roger Dubuis introduced a series of colour coded watches with straps featuring rubber inlays made from tyres used on race-winning Formula 1 cars.

Offering the perfect parallel, Lamborghini’s purposeful positioning as a brand that transcends automobiles is winning over a new generation of consumers, becoming deeply embedded in pop culture – with celebrities from Drake to Kanye West to Justin Bieber owning its aggressively styled cars. In contrast to its more refined and docile rival in Maranello, Lamborghini is the unrelenting wild child of Italian supercars.

But this partnership isn’t just a mere exercise in marketing pageantry; the watches ultimately speak for themselves. Accompanying the announcement are the Excalibur Aventador S limited editions.

Both are powered by the Duotor, a skeletonised calibre inspired by the naturally aspirated V12 that’s been the power plant in every flagship Roger Dubuis Lamborghini replica watches since its first production sports car, the 350 GT of 1964.

Mido Ocean Star 200 Meters Of Water Resistance Men’s Fake Watches

Leave a Reply

After years of looking at and reviewing watches on a daily/weekly basis, I’m sometimes surprised by what I end up liking. Sometimes it’s a watch that I expected to be garish or too large, but is tame and fits well. Or a watch that is so simple that I expect it to be dull, but it ends up having a sophistication beyond the sum of its parts. Regardless, I enjoy these surprises as they keep me looking forward to new releases and trying out new watches.

First look of the watch

When I first saw the Mido Ocean Star replica watches, my reaction was, “Well, okay. Nothing new here, but nothing offensive either, and certainly worth a closer look.” At a glance, the overall layout seemed well considered. There was nothing that gave me an immediate, “Oh, no” reaction for sure, and the aesthetic felt pleasantly modern in a day when everything is trying to be vintage. 42mm is perhaps a touch large, but not over the top. Furthermore, 200 meters of water resistance, a sapphire crystal and one of Swatch Group’s handy 80-hour power reserve movements make it a nice package for around $1,000.

Difference

Looking closer at the line, I was also intrigued by the different styles available in the Ocean Star series. There are a couple of standards—steel case with either a  blue or black dial—but there are also some more unique options, too. There is an all-titanium option, which is more toolish than the others, and then two that flirt with gold. One is all around rose gold accompanied by a black strap—which I get, but it’s not for me. The last, however, intrigued me the most—a two-tone version with a steel mid-case and rose gold PVD bezel and crown Mido fake watches.

Why this model? First, it’s a change of pace. We rarely review gold watches or watches with gold elements, and variety is the spice of life, so they say. Second, it simply looks nice, with the gold accents adding some additional detail to the design. Third, two-tone watches are maybe starting to come back in trend. I mean, there was even a NY Times article on the topic that I had the honor of being quoted in (humble brag). That said, the article focused on watches at a higher price point, and that brings me to my final point—with the recent release by Tudor of the Heritage Black Bay Two-Tone, an immediately very popular new model, it’s nice to have an affordable option in a watch that bears some similarity without feeling derivative.

Fashion watch

And, as the opening paragraph set up and the following will expand on, I was pleasantly surprised by the Mido Ocean Star. It’s a cut and dry dive watch that leans more towards desk diving than ocean diving, and it has a well-considered and very clean layout. It’s modern and not trendy—in a good way—but it also has some vintage elements to the bezel which adds some style. The case and bracelet have some finishing that surprised me, and those hints of gold elevate the aesthetic. At $1,000, it’s not the cheapest on the block, but it’s a nice alternative to watches that cost a few times more.

China Watch & Clock Fair’s Best Replica Beijing Leather Strap Watches

Watch collectors are naturally familiar with SIHH and Baselworld, but the Asian equivalent is less well known. Taking place annually in the Shenzhen, the metropolis that borders Hong Kong, the China Watch & Clock Fair (CWCF) happened in late June inside the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Centre. A vast event with over 60,000 visitors annually in recent years, the CWCF is the largest watch and jewellery exhibition in Mainland China, and the third largest worldwide. Only Baselworld and the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair count more visitors.

International Exhibitor

Now in its 28th year, the CWCF has a thoroughly international exhibitor list. Swiss movement makers ETA and Ronda both had booths inside, as did Citizen-owned Miyota; this year’s CWCF was also the first with independent watchmakers of the AHCI. (The main hall of the CWCF 2017 is pictured above.)

CWCF.

The CWCF began in 1988, mainly for component suppliers and OEM watch manufacturers to showcase their wares to the trade. However, in recent years, the focus of the fair has shifted towards timepieces catered to the consumer, making it more like Baselworld.

This shift in focus tracks the evolution of the exhibiting brands themselves, most of which are Chinese watch manufacturers that are developing their own consumer brands. One example is Peacock Watch, an OEM maker founded exactly 60 years ago, which is venturing into the consumer market for the first time with the T.S Series, a line tourbillon wristwatches starting at US$2470 for a single tourbillon, rising somewhat drastically to U$29,119 for the double tourbillon.

The flagship T.S. double tourbillon has a large, sporty look with 45mm carbon composite case that’s a fairly slim 11.5mm. It will be available in four colors and is fitting to a fabric strap featuring a pin buckle also in the carbon composite.

P531-4 movement

The movement is based on the P531-4 movement that Peacock has supplied to other makers, but here it has been given a more decorative finish. It’s partially skeletonized and finished with Geneva stripes and bevelled edges on the bridges, along with stamped guilloche on the base plate. However, all the finishing is obviously mechanically executed, which is understandable given its comparatively low price; similar watches from Swiss watchmakers typically cost twice as much.

Another notable watch spotted in the halls was the new tourbillon by Beijing Watch Factory, best known for the diversity of tourbillon wristwatches it offers. A radical departure from its earlier, fanciful designs, the Bladelegant tourbillon has sleek lines and a clean dial available in grey or silver. Most notably, the hour indices are set on a convex sapphire chapter ring, with a domed sapphire crystal over it for greater visual depth. It is still equipped with the TB01-2 movement found in most of the brand’s tourbillons, featuring the characteristic tourbillon cage shaped like a swallow.

Four Super Cheap Fake Watches Salute To Gerald Genta

Leave a Reply

When it comes to watch designers, few can hold a candle to Gerald Genta (1931 – 2011). During his long and fruitful career, he penned down some of the most legendary watches. Although many of them are openly credited to him, from others, it is not that generally well known that they are his designs. The first watch of his hand that ever made it to production was the Universal Geneve Polerouter, with many others to follow.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak

While Genta created many watches, two of them have most likely mostly defined his reputation among watch collectors and connoisseurs. With the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak fake watches for sale, he created a bold statement which Audemars Piguet crafted in steel, turning it into a noble material.

Patek Philippe Nautilus

The Patek Philippe Nautilus replica watches are, of course, the other icon which design Gerald Genta so masterfully put down on paper. While it served the same demographic as the Royal Oak and was designed in the same era, the Nautilus has a distinctly different design. It is also one of the watches that made steel an acceptable choice for a Haute Horlogerie watch

Omega Constellation

Where, with many of his designs, Genta was responsible for the “founding father” of a collection, for the Omega Constellation he worked on several generations of the model. While sometimes quite diverse, it did shape of what would become one of the pillars of Omega.

IWC Ingenieur

The IWC Ingenieur is one of the other watches where Genta played a defining role in its history. With the launch in 1976 of the Ingenieur SL, Genta gave the watch its signature five screws in the bezel. While the design of the watch has evolved over the following decades, even with the most modern versions of the Ingenieur, Genta’s hand is clearly visible.

 

The Grand Seiko Spring Drive 8 Day SBGD202, With ‘Night Sky’ Dial Hollow Out Replica Watches For Sale

Leave a Reply

As readers are well aware, this year has been something of a coming-out party for Grand Seiko, which is now its own independent brand, rather than existing as a collection under the overall Seiko limited edition fake watches umbrella. The most visible manifestation of this shift is of course the removal of the Seiko logo from the dials of Grand Seiko watches, which now carry only the Grand Seiko logo.

Grand Seiko replica watches are as much an approach as it is a family of watches, and Seiko has applied this approach to both quartz and mechanical watches, with offerings ranging from the high-accuracy 9F quartz movements, to in-house mechanical movements which include 36,000 vph high frequency calibers as well. One technology unique to Seiko, however, is Spring Drive. Seiko uses it not only in Grand Seiko watches, but also in the Prospex line as well as the Credor Eichi line of watches; it is the only type of movement that Seiko uses for its Credor chiming complications as well (the Spring Drive Sonnerie, and Spring Drive Minute Repeater).

Spring Drive can be hard to “get” because it’s really a hybrid technology. There are quartz watches that have a mechanical component, of course – Swiss auto-quartz movements, as well as Seiko’s own Kinetic, use a rotor borrowed from an automatic winding system to generate electrical current; this charges a rechargeable battery in what’s otherwise a standard quartz movement. Spring Drive however is something different.

Spring Drive movement Grand Seiko fake watches have a completely standard mechanical gear train going all the way from the mainspring barrel right down to where you’d ordinarily expect to find an escapement and balance wheel. However instead of either, a Spring Drive watch has a “glide wheel” which contains a small, powerful permanent magnet. This rotates between two electromagnets, generating current to power a quartz timing package which in turn, controls (via the same electromagnets) how fast the glide wheel turns. This controls the speed at which the wheels in the going train turn under the impetus of the mainspring. There’s no battery or capacitor, and visually, the signature of a Spring Drive watch is a seconds hand that doesn’t jump; instead it glides smoothly (and silently) around the dial.

Bell & Ross BR03-94 RS17 Yellow Dial Replica Rubber Strap Watches For Sale

It has been slightly over a week since I started wearing the BR03-94 RS17, provided to us at Deployant by Bell & Ross Singapore. For the most of us, having to wear the same watch over a period of seven days definitely proves to be a challenge, and I was tasked to document my week in photos for this unique, unconventional piece.

As mentioned in my review, the design of the Bell & Ross replica BR03-94 RS17 Chronograph watches were inspired by the steering wheel of the new Renault RS17 F1 car, and introduced as part of a trilogy to celebrate their inaugural sponsorship for the Renault Sport F1 team.

On my first day with the watch I recall myself being excited to check the time frequently, as it seems to have everything I love in a watch. Perhaps I am biased, as this is coming from someone who is into large watches; anyone who has seen my collection would know that I am into large watches, preferably 40mm and above. I actually like how alluring big watches look on small wrists.

Thanks to the snug and fitting short rubber strap Bell & Ross replica watches that came with the watch, as well as the adjustable keeper I was able to wear the large timepiece well, with it sitting nicely on my 5.5″ wrist.

Taking photos of the Bell & Ross fake watches were an easy thing, thanks to its photogenic features. I slowly realized that what’s really different about this watch among others in my collection is that it parts of many coming together, and everyday you will discover something new about it.

Patek Philippe Caliber 89 Grand Complication Pocket Watches Limited Edition For Sale

Leave a Reply

Watches, regardless of whether they were designed to be worn on one’s wrist or carried in the pocket, can be unbelievably complicated, irresistibly desirable and, consequently, very expensive. The best of the best, one is often led to believe, are the ones fetching top prices either by selling well above the suggested retail price in stores, selling out online in a matter of hours, or fetching stratospheric prices at auctions. However, desirability and, hence, perceived value are just that: perceptions, and they can change rapidly – as was last testified when one of four ever replica Patek Philippe Caliber 89 Grand Complication pocket watches quietly failed to sell a few days ago at the Sotheby’s May 14th, 2017, “Important Watches” auction in Geneva.

Normally, this wouldn’t be anything out of the ordinary. After all, not all watches will find buyers at auctions but, then again, the Patek Philippe Caliber 89 is not an ordinary watch but one previously boasting innumerable records. Let us familiarize ourselves with it once again and then discuss some of the details on why it may have failed to change hands.

The Patek Philippe Caliber 89 pocket limited edition fake watches made its debut in 1989 to celebrate the company’s 150th anniversary, following some 9 years of research and development. Patek Philippe only ever made 4 Caliber 89 watches, one in each precious metal; yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, and platinum. At the time of its conception, it was the most complicated watch in the world, a title it held for about 26 years until Vacheron Constantin introduced the Reference 57260 in 2015.

Cheap fake Patek Philippe watches.

This Patek Philippe Caliber 89’s massive, 88.2mm-wide yellow gold case fake watches weigh well over 2 pounds at around 1.1 kilograms and encapsulates a staggering total of 1,728 components to power its 33 complications. These are distributed over two dials and a number of pushers and sliders on the side of the case. Apart from the “usual complications” like a perpetual calendar, moon phase display, grande and petite sonnerie, a tourbillon, and a chronograph, the Caliber 89 also has more unusual complications like a star chart, seconds in meantime, sun hand, date of Easter (a world first, patented by Patek Philippe on December 13, 1985), and even a thermometer. It was and of course still very much is a marvel of fine mechanics.

There can be no question that this is one incredible watch, destined to forever remain among the finest ever produced – this much we have established. So, what could have possibly gone wrong to keep it from a successful sale at an auction where some other records – namely those for Rolex watches – have been greatly surpassed?

Omega Limited Edition Replica Seamaster Watches Hands On

What does James Bond and NASA, the Moon and the Olympic Games, Britain’s Royal Flying Corps and George Clooney or Buzz Aldrin have in common with Prince William? The answer is Omega cheap replica watches, the brand used by James Bond since 1995, the first watch on the Moon, worn by Buzz Aldrin on the Apollo 11 mission, the official timekeeping device of the Olympic Games since 1932; official timekeepers for the combat units of Britain’s Royal Flying Corps since 1917 and American Army in 1918. Even Amelia Earhart had an Omega 28.9 chronograph on the wrist and her navigator, Fred Noonan, wore an Omega Marine on the day they disappeared. Not to forget the famous Concorde plane was equipped with Omega’s instrument panel clocks.

The story of Omega waterproof fake watches begins in 1848, when a 23 years old gentleman, Louis Brandt sets up an assembly shop in his family’s villa on 51, Rue de la Promenade, La Chaux-de-Fonds, assembling key-wound precision pocket watches with parts supplied by La Chaux-de-Fonds watchmakers. In 1880, the Louis Brandt & Fils moves to Bienne, Switzerland and in 1885 to a workshop still in use by Omega today. The workshop releases “Labrador” – the first mass production calibre. Louis-Paul and César, the two sons of Louis Brandt, develop from 1895 an in-house movement, which they named the Omega 19 lines calibre. This movement had interchangeable watch parts and was produced under a rigorous production control. The Omega 19 lines caliber was so successful that in 1903 it was decided for the brand to wear the Omega name – in this way the Omega Watch Co was officially founded.

The first Omega Seamaster limited edition fake watches were released at the 100th brand anniversary and is the oldest timepiece in the current collection, but not a newcomer in the world of divers’ watches. In 1932, the Omega “Marine” accompanied Yves Le Prieur – the father of modern diving and Charles William Beebe – explorer and marine biologist on their explorations.

The Seamaster was designed to be an elegant watch with self-winding movements, robust, to fit in on “town, sea and country” and it was based on the waterproof wristwatches made for the British military at the end of the Second World War, in both standard and chronometer versions. In 1955, Gordon McLean reached a depth of 62.5 meters wearing a Seamaster in a dive off the coast of Australia – the first of many diving records for the Seamaster. Two years later, the Seamaster 300 in 1957 was released. This was the first so called “Professional” range of Seamaster watches, appreciated for their robustness, accuracy and reliability. It was hence the choice of famous explorers, military divers around the world, including the British Special Boat Service, among others.

In 1963, during the “Precontinent II” experiments in the Red Sea, Jacques-Yves Cousteau’s team used Seamaster 300 to prove that divers could live, for long periods and without adverse effects, in a submerged saturated gas environment.

After hacking our way with blunt machetes through the information-dense breakdown of the Celestia’s triple-time display, we now come to the most interesting part by far of the Celestia — solar time as represented by a running equation of time hand adjusted to the tropical year. (Standard YMMV disclaimer: my list of Most Interesting Things has been known to cure chronic insomnia. Proceed with caution and Red Bull.)
For all those reasons previously mentioned, solar time isn’t exactly the most consistent thing on the planet. Sometimes it’s late, sometimes it’s early — it’s only ever on time four times a year. But that’s okay, we all got friends like that, and we love them anyway.
Now these deviations aren’t really that big a deal when taken on their own — the longest solar day is about 30 seconds longer than a mean solar day, the shortest solar day is about 21 seconds shorter than a mean solar day.

Leather strap Vacheron Constantin replica watches.

However, let’s imagine you get a whole run of solar days, each of them just a few seconds longer than a mean solar day. That difference of a few seconds starts to stack up real quick. One day you realise that, although your beautiful and accurate Swiss watch tells you it’s noon, the sun in the sky essentially DGAF and is like a whole quarter of an hour away from reaching its celestial zenith. Shock and horror!
That said, if your beautiful and accurate Swiss watch happens to be the Vacheron Constantin Celestia series replica watches (please don’t make me type out its full name), there will be no shock and there will be no horror. You have a truly excellent polished pink-gold hand tipped with a splendid roseate sun, co-axial with the hours and minutes hands, indicating exactly how far the solar day is running ahead or behind civil time. Yay, science!

Girard-Perregaux Replica Tri-Axial Planetarium Series Watches For Sale

The 48 mm-diameter pink gold case fake Girard-Perregaux watches makes a really large watch; arguably to house the complication and the axial space necessary for the tourbillon. The thick case measures 18.66 mm and 21.52 mm when including the domes. Seeing its thick dimensions, the watch is fit with a bevelled bezel that has a steep incline and looks disproportionately wide.

Cheap fake Girard-Perregaux watches.

For those unfamiliar with replica Girard Perregaux’s triple axis tourbillon timepiece, but are better acquainted with Greubel Forsey or Zenith’s Christophe Colomb, the watch may ring bells of uncanny similarity. The dome crystal atop the main glass reminds us of the Zenith Academy Christophe Colomb Hurricane, the Globe; the GF GMT, and the side window, the GF Art Piece 1. And lest we forget to mention, Girard Perregaux’s predilection for bulbous objects which come in pairs is downright intriguing. Nonetheless, Girard Perregaux’s interpretation of case design for this piece is an interesting addition to the complicated watch genre.
When itemized, each piece of the complex puzzle looks extraordinary. The Girard-Perregaux tri-axial tourbillon was first developed and subsequently release in 2014. As its name implies, this high-speed tourbillon is equipped with a regulator operating on three rotation axes instead of just one. This featherweight 1.24-gram,140-part movement comprises an inner lyre-shaped carriage – a signature of the Maison since 1880 – performing one rotation per minute. It is fitted inside a structure spinning on a second axis in 30-second cycles. Both are in turn incorporated within a third structure revolving once ever two minutes on yet another axis. This fixture on its own adds live to the dial and is fascinating to watch.
Two astronomical complications join the dance. The globe with its 24-hour rotation provides an instant reading of the time around the world. Set to 12 o’clock (noon), the arrow indicator positioned at the base of the 13 mm-diameter aluminium sphere serves to show where it is daytime on the dial side, and where it is night-time, on the back.

Hand-crafted using the miniature painting technique, its cartography depicts the world as it was in 1791, the year the brand was created. The equally micro-painted lunar disc picks up the 17th century selenography at the time the telescope was invented, beautifully matching the blue shades of the rotating globe and reproducing the moon as we see it.

Equipped with a precision mechanism, the astronomical moon-phase indicator requires adjustment only once every 122 years, by means of a dedicated corrector at 2 o’clock.
