Franck Muller mens replica  was born in 1958 in La Chaux-de-Fonds to an Italian mother and a Swiss father. At 15 he left La Chaux-de-Fonds to enrol at the Ecole d’Horlogerie de Genve. With his diploma under his belt, he began work restoring antique watches, including certain pieces for the Patek Philippe Museum. An attentive observer with a natural feel for watchmaking, it wasn’t long before he began looking for ways to bring a contemporary sensibility to traditional watchmaking. The 36 world-firsts and other patents now to his name have given rise to such extraordinary creations as the Crazy Hours or the Aeternitas Mega 4 with its 36 complications. This mastery of technique is matched by such immediately recognisable style signatures as the large, bold cases and exuberant numerals.

Franck Muller Duplicate Watches appears to have been one among the truly amazing creative minds in the industry since he designed and built his first tourbillon watch back in 1986. In fact, he’s got never ceased amazing his colleagues and competition since, along with his astounding timepieces combining complications in a new and fascinating manner. Over the past number of years, the Replica master of complications has steadily stepped away young the regular organization of the brand, leaving behind space to the individual who had paved youthful Muller’s way to fame, Vartan Sirmakes.

It had been Sirmakes, previously specialized watch cases, who had contributed to the introduction of the double-domed, tonneau shaped Curvex case, with their elegant, 1920s retro look. In 1997, Muller and Sirmakes founded the Franck Muller Group Watchland, which in its heyday utilized approximately 1,000 people and today owns 12 other agencies, including Sirmakes’s previous Technocase and GecoH in Meyrin near Geneva, which manufactures crowns, hands and other parts. Among the companies properties of the audience are a couple of other brands as well, notably Pierre Kunz, Rodolphe, and Martin Braun.

With the new IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Monopusher Chronograph, “IWC presents its first-ever model with an ingenious single push-button chronograph” for replica watches & Wonders 2015 (essentially SIHH for Asia, taking place in Hong Kong this Fall). The timing of this debut, perhaps not without a hint of irony, is fortunate, as it comes shortly after we have discussed at length this particular complication in our recent “Why Monopusher Chronographs Are Primitive & A Brief History Of The IWC Chronograph replica watch Complication” feature article. With all that’s been said there, but no prejudices on our mind, let’s see how this latest addition to the IWC Portofino line is new.

Available in two colorways – in 18k white gold with a dark, metallic brown dial and in 18k red gold with a silver plated dial – the new IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Monopusher Chronograph Replica features IWC’s in-house made 59360 caliber. At 45 millimeters wide, IWC once again went for what probably is the largest diameter that could possibly work for such a historical and indeed more dressy-looking piece like the Portofino. The thin and short lugs are barely noticeable next to the steroid-infused round case and its thin bezel; the width of the strap, thinness of the lugs and expansive dial are all part of a daring game with proportions – striking the right balance between a larger case size and the limiting factor of defining design elements (such as the smaller and delicate-looking lugs of the Portofino) is not always easy.

There is one good justification for this gargantuan size for an otherwise more refined and less “dernier cri” collection: an in-house movement that packs 8 days of power reserve. The 59360 is the latest iteration of the brand’s cleverly designed 59000 base 8-day caliber, now featuring a monopusher chronograph complication – IWC did debut a unique piece Portofino earlier this year with this movement inside for the Tribeca Film Festival.

Running at a modern 4 Hertz frequency and offering 8 days’ worth of power reserve requires a massive and powerful mainspring and mainspring barrel which, in turn, require quite a bit of real estate. Hence, the 59360 is a large movement that fills up the 45mm-wide case beautifully – and because that is a rare sight even today, about a decade after the advent of in-house calibers, IWC’s engineers and designers do deserve to be praised for creating such a genuinely modern caliber family.

Thanks to the architecture of the base movement, some indications on the dial are at the exact same location as on some other, previously debuted Portofino pieces. In this instance, the date is still at the 3 o’clock position, running seconds is at six, and the power reserve is at 8, while the chronograph seconds indication has been installed in the center and the 60-minute counter is at 12. The chronograph, unsurprisingly, can be operated by pressing the push-button set into the center of the crown – this will cycle the column wheel that is cleverly and fully exposed on the case back side, starting, stopping, and resetting the stopreplica watch.

The result is a relatively clean look once we consider the number of functions and indications on the front – albeit, this is further enforced by the apparent lack of any texturing on the silver dial and the subtle sunburst finishing on the slate colored version. It is only the power reserve indicator’s arch that saves the piece from perfect symmetry. On some other iterations of this base caliber, we have seen the power reserve dial moved to the case back side, and while that arguably would have been possible with the 59360 as well, this little and highly useful feature is now used to make the front appear that bit more complicated – and, arguably, compelling.

The answer to this question is simple: everybody. What I mean by this is that there are two very distinct groups of high-end watch purchasers: the collector along with the fundamental “watch lover.” The collector is the guy who spent the past 15 years residing on TimeZone and also the PuristS, the type of man who hears the name Walt Odets and understands exactly who I’m talking about. The collector is the sort of guy who knows the difference between hand handmade and polished. He has gotten well past the point of arguing about brands and understands enough to talk about individual projects. He also reveres Patek Philippe for what it meant to watches over the last 100 decades, understands the importance and appeal of vintage Rolex, but buys just what speaks to him. A watch lover, on the other hand, is somebody who may be a little newer to luxury watches, and is still very brand conscious. Both purchase watches from Audemars Piguet, but likely different versions, and surely for distinct reasons.Let’s start with the collector. The collector buys Audemars Piguet because of its history in great complex pocketwatches. The collector buys AP because when Patek Philippe needed some assistance on the complex repeater of the Henry Graves Jr.. Supercomplication, it turned out to AP. The collector purchases AP due to watches like this, this, and this.

Last year Audemars Piguet unveiled a slew of Royal Oak watches in yellow gold, with a notable omission, the Royal Oak Extra-Thin “Jumbo”. As the Royal Oak marks the 40th anniversary of the first yellow gold model of 1977, that has now been rectified with a pair that will make their debut at SIHH 2017.

The new Royal Oak Extra-Thin watches in 18k yellow gold join the 50-piece limited edition made for Singapore retailer The Hour Glass last year, with both the case and bracelet in yellow gold.

The Royal Oak “Jumbo” for The Hour Glass with a dark green dial

While the version for The Hour Glass had a green dial, the two new additions to the collection are in dark blue and yellow gold respectively. Both dials are finished in the traditional style of the Royal Oak, decorated with Petite Tapisserie guilloche and featuring yellow gold applied markers and hands.

The case diameter is 39mm, the exact same diameter as the 1977 original “Jumbo”, though the sapphire display back means the modern iteration is slightly thicker than the solid back original.

But the movement inside remains the 2121, the slim, self-winding calibre originally developed by Jaeger-LeCoultre but now made by Audemars Piguet.

Price and availability 

The Royal Oak Extra-Thin in yellow gold with a blue dial is the ref. 15202BA.OO.1240BA.01, while the same with a matching yellow gold dial is the ref. 15202BA.OO.1240BA.02. Both are priced at US$55,400.
