Hands-On With Bvlgari Octo Solotempo Ultranero Black Dial Replica

If you were to catch a glimpse of the Bvlgari Octo Solotempo Ultranero Replica from a distance, the perspective would be simple. You would see a somewhat plain deep black dress replica watch with a simple and subtle black case and rubber strap that looks plain, clean, and easy to read. This primarily is on account of its rose gold indices and hands that brilliantly reflect any kind of light. The vast complexities of its case design really don’t become apparent until you reach a much closer range. For a house that does big and bold as well as they do, Bulgari impressed me with its attempt at subtlety here. Granted, as you can see in these photos, this piece is only subtle in a truly Bulgari manner.
Hands-On With Bvlgari Octo Solotempo Ultranero Black Dial Replica
Credit where credit is due, there are so many things Bulgari did right with the Solotempo’s design. Pairing an extremely deep gloss-black dial with these stepped rose gold indices gives the wearer the illusion of staring into a vast expanse of nothingness where a dial would normally live, given the appropriate lighting conditions. This jet-black dial sans indices would be an excellent candidate for a 2nd version of H. Moser & Cie.’s Mystery Dial Concept without question.
Reactor Watch: Tough with Style

The one criticism at hand thus far would be the lack of framing for its date window. I would have loved to see this replica watch lose the date window entirely. That said, if the date was argued to be a crucial requirement on the piece, matching the gloss-finish of the date wheel with the dial would be at least the minimum requirement to balance out the attention to detail we see throughout the remainder of the replica watch.

Moving on from there, the literal and figurative sharpness of the Solotempo’s case is the next highest-ranking element of the piece’s design. Bulgari is quick to bring to our attention the significant number of facets on the timepiece’s case – 110 in total. Examining the case from top to bottom and side-to-side we don’t doubt that figure one bit. There are four stepped transitions from the bezel down to the lugs, and multiple angled cuts along each transition. The octagonal case appears almost square when viewed at a distance. Add to that its smooth round bezel, and anyone not keeping close tabs on the industry could almost speculate that Bell & Ross had decided to build a dress version of the BR-03.

The moment you’re a touch closer, it’s clear that this isn’t the case (though wouldn’t it be interesting if they did?). Up close, the last of the Octo’s facets come to light along the inner edge of the dial opening underneath the crystal where a second and more symmetrical octagon lives as a very slender rehaut.

Patek Philippe Nautilus 57111R – Is Gold Allowed

Perhaps I changed a bit during the last few years or at least my taste did, but I am warming up to gold watches. Not only did I think they were often too gaudy, tacky or whatever label you want to use, I also was of the opinion that certain watches should be in stainless steel only. The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and Patek Philippe Swiss Replica Online Nautilus are perfect examples of that thought

.Patek Philippe Nautilus 57111R – Is Gold Allowed

However, like I wrote, I am warming up to gold watches and even gold versions of these classic stainless steel luxury sports watches. Not how Gerald Genta meant them to be perhaps, but as long as it is done with the utmost respect to the original design, I can be fine with it. However, I am still a bit of a purist and am torn between the real deal in steal or the warm colour of gold. Since it is a watch that shouldn’t be worn during sports anyway in my opinion, gold can certainly be used for a watch like this.

When I first saw this piece I just shrugged my shoulders and thought to myself that the stainless steel Nautilus reference 5711/1A or the vintage 3700/1A is the one that I would like to own some day. Period. But when I had my appointment inside the Patek Philippe booth in Basel and got to see and try the new Nautilus in gold, I wasn’t so sure about that anymore.

The new Nautilus in gold is an amazing looking watch, even on a pale skin like mine I think I could get away with it. Where the stainless steel version – which I often tried – feels comfortably light (there is still enough weight to ensure you the watch is still there), the gold version has a much bigger presence. The weight of the gold does not make you forget what’s on your wrist. Besides the weight aspect, the presence is also there because of the warm colour of gold. Due to the very recognizable type of finish on the case and bracelet, this watch will never look tacky or flashy in gold.

Patek Philippe Nautilus 57111R – Is Gold Allowed

A gold Nautilus isn’t something new. Actually, the first Nautilus reference (3700/1A) was also produced in gold in those late 1970s. Later Nautilus models were also available in gold (like the reference 5980 chronograph), but never the reference 5711/1A. Patek Philippe decided to use rose gold for the case and bracelet and instead of the blue/green-ish dial in the stainless steel version; they’ve picked this warm chocolate brown colour for the dial. It gives the watch a very classy look and makes you forget about the fact that a Nautilus should be a stainless steel watch only.

Actually, it made me wonder whether a gold Nautilus 5711/1R is something a purist can get away with. Besides the fact that there actually was an original 1970s 3700/1A in gold, you can debate whether the current 5711/1A isn’t already too far away from the original 3700/1A series for a purist (here is a comparison between the 3700/1A and 5711/1A). The see-through case back, the second hand and the fact that it isn’t a monocoq case anymore, already makes the 5711/1A a modern interpretation of the original 3700/1A.

Patek Philippe Nautilus 57111R – Is Gold Allowed

The best solution perhaps would be to own an original Patek Philippe 3700/1A in stainless steel and have the Nautilus 5711/1R in rose gold as a modern watch. See how I am looking for excuses to own both? The new Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1R is a great example of how it should be done in gold. A job well done by Patek Philippe. The Genta adept in me probably will always crave for that mint condition 3700/1A in stainless steel, a rose gold 5711/1R on the wrist would make that hunt a bit more bearable.

Show You The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Vincent van Gogh Replica Watch

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Replica was created along these lines. British officers in India needed a watch with crystal that could withstand their frequent energetic games of Polo, and JLC co-founders Jacques-David LeCoultre and Edmond Jaeger dreamed up the answer. The Reverso allowed its wearer to conceal the delicate crystal by swivelling it out of sight, and out of harm’s way, within the case.

Show You The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Vincent van Gogh Replica Watch

Legendary Dutch Post-Impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh once said, ‘I dream my painting, and then I paint my dream.’ This is a sentiment that a lot of great watchmakers could undoubtably relate to. Many a groundbreaking timepiece has started as a dream, an idea to meet a need, before the watchmaker put their skills and passion to practice to create an exceptional timepiece.

Today, this innovative swiss best replica watch is considered a classic in the Jaeger-LeCoultre mens replica collection, and what better way to honour a visionary artist than with a visionary watch. The Jaeger-LeCoultre replica has partnered with the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam to create the Reverso à Eclipse, tribute to Vincent van Gogh.

The watch features an exceptionally detailed enamelled miniature of Self-Portrait as a Painter, one of van Gogh’s most famous pieces, painted by the skilled enamelling artists at Jaeger-LeCoultre replica. The picture can be hidden and revealed buy a simple opening of the watch’s shutters. The case is made from platinum, and powering the watch is the experly engineered in-house calibre 849.

Not surprisingly, only four models of this piece of horological piece of art will be made—although it will be available to be admired, along with the great artist’s work, at the Van Gogh Museum.

A Closer Look At The Hublot Big Bang Replica Watch

Today I’m taking a close look at a watch that changed an industry, and can be largely held responsible for the ‘big watch trend’ that’s dominated design since its release a decade ago.Could the Hublot Big Bang replica watch please stand up?

A Closer Look At The Hublot Big Bang Replica Watch
Even though Hublot replica watch have released what seems like thousands of subsequent Bangs in every conceivable colour, flavour and material the original is still in their catalogues, and still a strong performer.

A Closer Look At The Hublot Big Bang Replica Watch
The Hublot Big Bang replica watch is all about the case. The complex construction, incorporating traditional and modern techniques and materials embodies ‘the art of fusion’ – a philosophy at the centre of the brand’s identity. In 2005 the combination of steel, ceramic and rubber was novel, but in the subsequent decade the rest of the industry has caught up with Hublot’s trend-setting ways. Still, the 44mm case holds up well, and is a pleasure to wear.
Fusion is about more than just unconventional material hybrids as the Big Bang replica watch demonstrates a stylistic fusion too; the traditional tropes of luxury sports watch design are partnered with a far more industrial aesthetic – heavy knurling on the bezel edge and exposed screws really works. It might sound like something cribbed from a press release but to appreciate the Big Bang replica watch you really do need to understand the importance played by the concept of fusion in their design process. The interplay of materials and textures is key to this watch’s appeal and what makes it so fun to wear.

A Closer Look At The Hublot Big Bang Replica Watch
The use of unconventional materials continues on the Hublot Big Bang replica watch’s dial with woven carbon fibre providing a texture that contrasts well with the mirror-like finish of the ceramic bezel. Happily, for all their fusion, Hublot replica watch haven’t confused the fact that the prime purpose of a watch is to tell the time. The dial is supremely legible – with broad luminova-filled hands, big rhodium-plated indices and unobtrusive printed subdials. I really loved the numerals and indices; they pick up on the industrial sensibilities that run through the watch. Each applied marker is cut-through with a machined groove, but while the groove itself is polished, the rest of the marker is brushed.
The rubber strap is an integral part of the Big Bang replica watch’s identity, grounding the luxury watch in practicality – and even here, Hublot have managed to inject personality. The diamond tread-like pattern is distinctive and almost aggressive. Certainly not boring. Visually the hooded lugs conceal the point where strap meets case, adding to the impression of a seamless whole. The strap is secured by a single fold deployant with a characteristically big and chunky buckle. While it’s solid and secure, I must admit I found the lines a little too sharply machined to be comfortable.

 

SIHH 2017: Audemars Piguet Facelifts the Royal Oak Chronograph 41mm, Plus One in Titanium & Platinum Replica Trusted Dealers

Nowadays, watches like the Royal Oak perpetual calendar skeleton (a standard at AP’s collection and one of the finest perpetuals on the market, in my own estimation), the Royal Oak Equation of Time, the innovative Chron-AP, and this Millenary Minute Repeater demonstrate that AP is certainly a top-tier manufacture. AP’s in-house self-winding caliber 3120, found inside the basic Royal Oak 15400, can also be among the finest base movements in the world. These are the things which keep AP pertinent to “real” watch lovers that sometimes get lost in the buzz around the other kinds of AP buyers.And then there is your typical well-to-do watch purchaser. To me, the best analogy for this other kind of AP purchaser is advised using a singular scene in one episode of a single television series that has been popular for a time period some years ago. I am speaking about Entourage, and I wager the vast majority of you understand exactly to which scene I’m referring.Ari Gold receives a solid gold Royal Oak chronograph (not unlike the opinion I’ll review down under) by his then-soon-to-be boss, that describes it as “One of the best watches in the world.” The camera then pans to the solid gold watch from its box, and Ari is in disbelief about the present — and thus, AP is introduced to a whole bunch of potential new customers, the men who watch Entourage. From this time, you see several of the personalities on the display wearing APs. Many at the time believed Audemars Piguet had compensated for the positioning, but in talks with AP through the years, it was disclosed to me not a single dollar was exchanged. Instead, a particular producer on the series was a massive AP client, also insisted it be a Royal Oak presented to Ari. Entourage did a great deal for AP, but it wasn’t this one positioning that defines the “other” type of AP customer. It does give you a good idea of where AP is a favorite, and that is in Hollywood, music, and sports, with all the youthful and moneyed.

Five years after its launch, the Royal Oak Chronograph 41mm has been restyled for SIHH 2017. Audemars Piguet Quincy Jones Watch Replica kept the fundamentals the same, applying some minor tweaks to the dial to give it a sportier look (compare it with the earlier version).

All the new Royal Oak Chronograph variants feature two-tone dials, with the sub-dials in contrasting colours. Another obvious change are the enlarged registers for elapsed minute and hours, while that for the constant seconds has been reduced. This improves legibility somewhat, since elapsed time has to be read, while the sub-seconds is merely a reminder that the watch is running.

RO_26331OR-OO-D315CR-01_2_closeup_Original

To the same end, the hour markers are now wider and shorter, with a broader strip of Super-Luminova for increased nighttime glow; the same has been done for the hands as well (the counterweight of the seconds hand now has luminescent paint as well).

All the Royal Oak Chronograph 41mm models are equipped with the calibre 2385, which is actually the Frederic Piguet 1185, a compact and slim automatic movement.

RO_26331OR-OO-D821CR-01_SDT_Original_001

The new range includes four models in pink gold, in either blue or brown, accompanied by either an alligator strap or matching gold bracelet, as well as three in stainless steel with black, white or blue dials.

All in stainless steel, except the bottom right in titanium and platinum

Ti and Pt

And most intriguing, the line-up also includes the Royal Oak Chronograph 41mm in titanium and platinum (ref. 26331IP.OO.1220IP.01).

This unusual, boutique-only model has most of the case and bracelet in brushed titanium, with the bezel and centre links of the bracelet in polished platinum for a striking contrast of surface finishes.

And the dial is grey with the sub-dials and minute chapter ring in dark blue, the same combination of colours found on the first generation Royal Oak Offshore in titanium.

Audemars Piguet Begins Work on New Museum Shaped Like a Hairspring and Adjacent Luxury Hotel Replica Expensive

The black satin-brushed dial is partly skeletonized to show the inner workings of this watch. The hour and minute hands are made of 18K white gold and are partly skeletonized as well. However, because they’re rather chunky, telling that the timing is not overly difficult, but legibility isn’t ideal. That having been said, this is not actually a bit where the hands are the focus. The running seconds hand to your chronograph is bright yellow to provide contrast against the black dial.Finally, the individual moment markers as well as the mark for the 30-minute chronograph in 3 o’clock are left in white and yellow to offer maximum contrast and legibility. The 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock can be unique because it shows the elapsed minutes with a retrograde index. And lastly, at six o’clock is that the tourbillon.The motion is where the magic all happens. It is obviously in-house, and it’s the calibre 2937. And like most of luxury chronograph movements, it has a column-wheel and lateral clutch.What’s unusual about it, however, is both gongs. Instead of mounting the gongs into the movement plate, they’re attached to what Audemars Piguet Most Expensive Watches Replica calls a “sound board” Essentially, it’s a thin membrane made from a special aluminum alloy which covers the back of the movement, held in place with screws, and also forming a water-tight seal. This explains how the Royal Oak Concept Supersonnerie Tourbillon Chronograph watch can acquire a water-resistance rating of 20 meters, which may not seem like much to a casual observer, but this couldn’t be more erroneous. The 20 meters is actually quite impressive considering the intricate structure of this watch.

Two year ago Audemars Piguet Watches And Prices Replica announced plans for a new museum, shaped like a glass spiral rising out of the pastoral fields of Le Brassus and designed by the same Danish architect responsible for Google’s new headquarters. The watchmaker broke ground on the the new building at the start of October 2016, capping two years of planning and design.

Designed by Danish architects BIG, short for Bjarke Ingels Group, the museum will be some 2800 square meters, or well over 30,000 square feet. Named Maison des Fondateurs, or “Home of the Founders”, the museum will have panoramic walls of curved glass along its entire length, topped by a roof garden.

The Audemars Piguet museum is just one of the high profile projects BIG is working on. Others include Two World Trade Center in New York City, Google’s sci-fi campus in Mountain View, and Lego House in Denmark.

But the museum will not be the only addition to the Audemars Piguet compound. Closed since early 2016, the quaint Hotel des Horlogers will be razed and replaced with a similarly stylish glass building designed by BIG with sloping buildings and long glass facades.

Owned by Audemars Piguet and separated from its factory by a carpark, the four star Hotel des Horlogers – or “watchmaker’s hotel” – will grow from 27 rooms to 65 and become a luxury hotel worthy of the visitors who make the pilgrimage to see expensive watches being produced.

Both the museum and hotel are slated to open in 2019.

Up Close with the Audemars Piguet Millenary Openworked Replica Clearance

As we already begin looking forward to 2018’s SIHH novelties, we thought it’s high time to take a closer look at some of the year’s favorites, including the richly over-the-top 15202, rendered for the very first time as a modern, non-limited reference entirely from 18-carat yellow gold. It’s not merely the all-gold case that lends the 15202 significance though — there are a couple additional (albeit much more subtle) visual cues that set this specific reference apart, and might make it more desirable for collectors in the long run. Perhaps most obvious, is that the simple time plus date-only dial configuration, completed by the ‘AP’ emblem at 6:00, which pays direct homage to the original steel 5402 released in 1972. This aesthetic also tips its hat towards the yellow gold 5402BA Jumbo introduced five decades later — the very first time Audemars Piguet rendered the Jumbo inside this valuable metal.However, more notable is that the thickness — the new 15202 steps a hair over 8mm, 0.2mm thicker than the first 5402, and the closest we have seen to people pioneering ultra-thin measurements because the 40th Anniversary editions from 2012 — thus the ‘Extra Thin’ naming convention. This new-but-really-old profile, coupled with all the eminently wearable 39mm case size truly feels like the sweet spot for the Royal Oak, also has much to do with why this iconic layout managed to develop into this kind of future-proof classic in the first place.The Jumbo Royal Oak in its classic configuration is a wristwatch that historically, by all measurements, should wear exceptionally thin. People who are searching for a marginally more toned-down aesthetic nevertheless rendered in this precious metal will appreciate the second of the 15202’s two new dial variations: a stunning blue, which, given the spate of blue-on-bronze sports watches we’ve seen this year, is as much on-trend, as it is a bit less ostentatious.

Five years ago Audemars Piguet unveiled the Millenary 4101, giving its ovoid timepiece an adventurous new look, imparting some of the excitement that accompanies the inevitable Royal Oak. At SIHH 2016 Audemars Piguet went one step further by skeletonising the 4101 to create the Millenary Openworked (ref. 15352OR.OO.D093CR.01) – an aesthetic exercise, but one that’s beautifully decorated and styled.

Conceived to have the movement form part of the dial, the movement inside the original Millenary 4101 was based on the calibre 3120, the basic in-house movement of Audemars Piguet. That was rejigged to give it a linear, left to right layout, as well as an off-centred sub-dial for the time, with the decorated base plate exposed as part of the dial, making the mechanics part of the aesthetics.

Audemars Piguet Millenary 4101 Openworked 2

With as much as possible removed, the Millenary Openworked the calibre 4105 reveals even more. The architecture of the calibre 4101 was retained, with its most prominent features remaining in place: two rows of large screws hold down a series of bridges that span the front vertically, and the balance wheel taking centrestage at nine o’clock. The sub-dial for the time has been open-worked as well, leaving the seconds as the only solid part on the front.

Intricate enough to distract from the time, the skeleton movement is leaves little to the imagination. You can literally peer inside.

Up close the movement acquits itself well, with a high level of finishing, especially on the front of the parts. Audemars Piguet leans towards a clean look for its skeleton movements (ditto for the Royal Oak skeletons), so the bridges are finished with a fine, grained surface and a dark grey plating. But there is no mistaking the hand-finishing, particularly on the many polished bevels as well as mirror-polished screw heads. The bevelling on the sharp, inward angles of the bridges is notably masterful.

Some things are best left to the imagination 

That being said, and this is a shortcoming of many skeleton watches, too much can be revealed. The underside of the balance wheel, for instance, is readily visible from the back. It is unfinished, showing the shallow divots milled out for poising. Flip over the balance wheel in any high-end, serially-produced watch and it will look the same, but it is not the prettiest part of the movement.

At 47 mm in diameter is large, but not excessively so, since the shape is oval rather than round. It has substantial presence, looking expensive on the wrist, as it should, given the stiff price tag. The Millenary Openworked (ref. 15352OR.OO.D093CR.01) is priced at S$94,300, equivalent to US$68,100.

Limited Edition Watch Series:Chopard L.U.C XPS Poinçon de Genève Replica

When you create a limited edition replica watch of just 25 pieces in platinum you are basically creating a perfect “my timepiece is still cooler than yours” replica watch. Chopard L.U.C XPS Replica is a simple dress replica watch, but it is one of my favs, and in addition to having a sexy design it has a lot of horological bragging rights. Now that the piece has the Geneva Seal on it – that new tougher to get Geneva Seal – any replica watchianado can say, “screw your AP, this guy here was built in the canton of Geneva – and according to some prissy Swiss official, it has superlative bridge polishing. Shit, that type of polishing is extra expensive around here.”

The benefits of the Seal of Geneva (ahem, “Poinçon de Genève”) are obvious to people like me, and perhaps you, but I just realized how utterly esoteric the concept would be to most people. Imagine a salesperson trying to explain it to some average Rolex buyer at a shopping mall. Awkward hilarity would ensue. Brands like Omega have sort of figured it out when they thrust terms like “Co-Axial” at the consumer. Co-axial escapements are cool and all, but the majority of people with them on their wrist haven’t a clue what they are. But it sure does sound sort of cool, and Omega’s prime intent is to simply hammer the consumer with it.

Limited Edition Watch Series:Chopard L.U.C XPS Poinçon de Genève Replica

Anyhow, going back to Chopard and this limited edition platinum version of the L.U.C XPS with that lovely blue dial. I got to thinking, “how would you properly wear a dress replica watch like this?” Most dress/formal replica watches are back, so how about one with a blue tuxedo? The most famous blue tuxedo that I came up with was worn by Jeff Daniels’ “Harry” character in Dumb & Dumber. Given how in the film they start blowing through money, I don’t think that purchasing a timepiece like this would have been out of the question. Though, given the duo’s famous lack of good taste and judgement, I don’t think something as classy as a L.U.C XPS would have caught their eye. Perhaps a replica watch like this is destined for a later, more mature and sophisticated Jeff Daniels character.

Limited Edition Watch Series:Chopard L.U.C XPS Poinçon de Genève Replica

So let’s fast forward to now when Daniels is currently the star of HBO’s “The Newsroom” where he plays Will McAvoy – a brainy and outspoken news anchor and former attorney. He also seems to prefer wearing the color blue oddly enough. I think the likes of a Chopard L.U.C XPS in this platinum and blue dial guise would fit the bill quite nicely. While the solid platinum case back of the replica watch does have a hand-engraved Geneva Seal on it, it doesn’t feature an open case back. That is sort of a shame given how nice the in-house made L.U.C 96.01-L movement is.

“Spectre” 007 James Bond Limited Edition OMEGA Aqua Terra

Launched to commemorate the release of the newest James Bond film “Spectre”, OMEGA have created a limited edition Omega Replica Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M inspired on this occasion by the fictional Bond family coat of arms.

“Spectre” 007 James Bond Limited Edition OMEGA Aqua Terra

We have managed to get one of these in-stock on our website and we really like the bold use of colour that OMEGA have used on this timepiece, the watch is distinctive in its use of rich navy blue and striking flashes of yellow. The use of this colour palette continues into the presentation box with a glossy embossed inner box, additional navy/yellow nylon coated strap, adjustment tool and commemorative loupe. Unworn and under Omega manufacturers warranty.

In a variation from the standard, this Aqua Terra can resist magnetic fields of 15,007 gauss (increased from 15,000) in a nod to 007 agent James Bond, and the number of limited edition timepieces available. Boasting a brand new OMEGA Master Co-Axial Calibre 8507 movement which is one of the most precise movements used by OMEGA presently.

The rich blue dial on this watch is decorated with the design of the Bond family coat of arms repeated over the watches PVD dial, and used even more strikingly on the bright yellow seconds hand.

Finally, on the see through case back the oscillating weight that can be viewed has been redesigned to resemble the barrel of a gun, to remind wearers of the iconic James Bond film opening credits.
