Cartier have taken a regular Clé, applied a liberal sprinkling of diamonds and added a spectacular flying tourbillon.

A Elegant Timepiece Of Cartier Clé de Cartier Flying Tourbillon Replica

Just in time for Best Swiss Replica Watches & Wonders 2015, Cartier have released news of the latest addition to their brand new Clé de Cartier line, which we explored recently. Forget the everyday elegance of the regular Cartier Clé de Replica, because this new model eschews all of that in favour of one heck of a statement. While the base of the replica watch is a standard 35mm white gold Clé, you’d be hard pressed to locate even a hint of gold under the 478 brilliant-cut diamonds (totalling 3.56 carats) that encrust the case, even down to the unique crown that gives the collection its name.

The dazzling display isn’t just limited to the diamonds – the movement has also been given an upgrade, with the dial now dominated by a 60-second flying tourbillon, in which the C-shaped carriage doubles as a seconds display. Meanwhile, the new Calibre 1847 MC has been swapped for the manually wound 9452 MC. First introduced in 2007, this is the first Cartier movement to receive the Geneva Seal, so you know it’s been finished to an impeccably high standard.

There’s no denying this piece is impressive. It’s not possible to combine that many diamonds with that movement without wowing people. Still, that profusion of stones risks obscuring the smooth geometric lines that are part of the Clé’s DNA. Here at Time + Tide, the jury’s out until we see it in the flesh at replica watches & Wonders later this month. Stay tuned.

What to expect from a Ferrari Watch

As what has been expected as the store’s moves, the clock comes surrounded with many the brand’s famous Prancing Horse logo. Such a logo is already embossed on the rubber strap, printed on the dial of the Ferrari replica watch and engraved to the back of the stainless steel case. The manufacturer surely does not let the user forget who made the watch.

What to expect from a Ferrari Watch

The watch original price is 330 Euros, without adding the 20% VAT as yet. It is quite inexpensive given that it is an ISO 9001/1300 Anadigit quartz movement. It also has features like an alarm icon, three synchronized time zones, power reserve indicators, time, date, and week.
It also boasts of a digital tachometer, a perpetual calendar and a chronograph, which is precise even to the 1/100th of a second.

Its accuracy though is just quite average. The official instantaneous rate in watches, which is -15/+15 seconds per month, puts the watch’s accuracy light years away from the kind of movements sported by ETA’s Thermoline thermo-supported movements, which also have an accuracy of -10/+1- seconds.

Moreover, original Ferrari Lap Time Chronograph is way behind the wowing factor and refinement of a quartz chrono watch like the jet-black Officine Panerai Ferrari Chronograph DLC. The latter is supported by a Valjoux 7753-based COSC-certified Panerai OP XII Calibre.

What to expect from a Ferrari Watch
Despite all these things, the Ferrari Lap Time Chronograph replica is still considered as a precious gift to anyone who loves the Gran Turismo 5 and the live races at the Formula One Grand Prix. It can still be the best thing that you can give to your kid, who loves racing cars so much, especially if you have not yet seen the Logitech Driving Force Wireless Wheel, another big temptation.

Review: Oversized Tudor Heritage Black Bay Blue Replica

Dating back to the original Tudor Submariner from 1954, the Tudor Heritage Black Bay is a contemporary timepiece, inspired by the first Submariner, as well as taking design cues from virtually all subsequent Submariner models.First presented in 2012 with a burgundy bezel, black-chocolate dial, gilt printed minute track and beige lume (Ref. 70922R). In 2014, the Replica Tudor Black Bay debuted in a new version, this time with a blue bezel, black dial, white minute track and white lume (Ref. 70922B).

Review: Oversized Tudor Heritage Black Bay Blue Replica

Aesthetically, the Black Bay case and hour indexes come from the original 1954 reference 7922 Tudor Submariner. However, it’s the reference 7924 from 1958, dubbed the “big crown,” that inspired the oversized crown seen on the current model. And as for the “Snowflake” hands, they first appeared on references 7016 and 7021 from 1969. In the second half of the 20th century, the French Navy used Tudor diver’s watches, and they were generally blue. This explains the midnight-blue bezel, the matching blue anodized aluminum ring around the crown, and even the optional midnight-blue distressed leather strap. “It’s a rugged and versatile daily wearer that looks just as good with a pair of board shorts, as it does a t-shirt and jeans, or a suit.”

Like the 7922, the new matte dial has a large triangle marker at 12 o’clock, baton indexes at 3, 6 and 9 – and circular indexes for the other eight hour markers. However, while the original hour markers were printed on the dial, the Tudor Heritage Black Bay Blue Replica has applied indexes, with metal surrounds that are filled with luminous material. Moreover, the surrounds are polished, resulting in a perfect contrast against the matte black background and adding great depth to the dial.

Review: Oversized Tudor Heritage Black Bay Blue Replica

Until the Tudor Heritage Black Bay Blue Replica, the most recent Tudor Submariners were produced up until the 1980s, and they came both with or without a date. This time around, the date was omitted on all models, which is something that has become in vogue across the industry the past few years. However, it is more than just a trend. By removing the date, which is arguably a superfluous function for a dive watch, the result is a cleaner, more elegant and symmetrical watch face. And most importantly, it makes it easier to read the time, the primary function of any good watch. Protecting the dial is a domed sapphire crystal, not quite a tall as vintage models, but still tall enough to stand out, and provide a vintage nod.

While Rolex is separate from Tudor, in the 1950s, the Tudor Submariner was launched alongside the Rolex Submariner, which first came out in 1953, reference 6204. Back then, Tudor cases, crowns, and bracelets were all made by Rolex. Tudor watches even came with famous Rolex crown logo relief engraved on the crown. Modern Tudors no longer use Rolex cases, crowns, and bracelets, however, as we mentioned above, the case is strongly inspired by the vintage designs.

The Tudor Heritage Black Bay Blue Replica comes in a 316L stainless steel case that measures approximately 41 mm in diameter by 12.75 mm in height and 50.25 mm in length. The width at the lugs is 22 mm. Total weight with the leather strap is 103.2 grams. The matte blue bezel insert features a 60-minute dive scale that rotates unidirectionally. A dot at 12 o’clock allows you to keep track of your dive time in low-light conditions. The coin edges of the bezel are polished, which contrasts with the top of the case and lugs which are satin-polished. The entire case flanks, lug sides, and chamfered edges, are fully polished, creating the perfect juxtaposition of the two surfaces finishes.

Similar to the dimensions of the Big Crown, the Tudor Heritage Black Bay Blue Replica’s large stainless steel crown measures about 7.95mm in diameter. And there are no crown guards, a nod to both the 7922, 7923 and 7924. A blue anodized aluminum tube sits in between the crown and the case. The crown features a double locking system to ensure water-resistance. It is engraved with the Tudor rose emblem and polished. Operating the crown is very easy to do and one of the advantages of its oversized design.

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.

IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Monopusher Chronograph Mens Replica

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.
IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Monopusher Chronograph Mens Replica

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.
IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Monopusher Chronograph Mens Replica
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.

IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Monopusher Chronograph Mens Replica

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.
