The Hublot F1 King Power Austin Limited Edition Watch

Image
Not to be outdone by Audemars Piguet and their claims to Formula 1 racing, Hublot, the official watch brand of F1, has announced the F1 King Power Austin as a tribute to the United States Grand Prix which was held in Austin, Texas this past weekend. Limited to just 250 units, this titanium cased chronograph boasts a carbon and titanium bezel which has been styled to look like a cross-drilled  performance brake rotor. Measuring 48mm across, the F1 King Power Austin is powered by the HUB4100 automatic chronograph movement which has a power reserve of 42 hours and offers a 30 minute chronograph, sub seconds and a date display. While the King Power line is a predictable platform for an F1-inspired watch, Hublot has not simply slapped an F1 logo on an existing model. The rubberized chronograph pushers boldly proclaim "START" and "RESET" in red and black lettering, calling for a comparison with the button-heavy layouts of a modern F1 steering wheel. The pushers are ...

Hublot King Power 692 Bang New York Limited Edition Replica Review

Image
Hublot has grown tremendously fast in the past few decades and is now recognized as part of the top luxury Swiss manufactures. It has not always been the case and before the arrival of the famous Jean-Claude Biver in 2004, Hublot’s destiny was rather uncertain. Nowadays, we all know Hublot for its recognizable port-hole inspired design, the oversized cases and because they were one of the main sponsors of the recent Football World Cup in Brazil Hublot isn’t shy of limited editions and they just released one that we do like. Here is the new Hublot King Power 692 Bang with hands and markers inspired by the NYC yellow cabs. The Hublot King Power is the brand’s most massive and sportiest collection. It comes in a ‘gigantic’ 48mm case, that is made, depending on the editions, in carbon fiber, titanium or ceramic.  As said before the design is inspired from ship’s portholes, with ‘ears’ like the PP Nautilus, and even the name ‘Hublot’ means porthole in French. While most Hublots are ...

Interview With Jean-Claude Biver On TAG Heuer Watch 9.3% Average Price Reduction

Image
Today on March 18th, at the onset of the Baselworld 2015 watch trade show, TAG Heuer made the interesting announcement that in light of the increased value of the Swiss Franc, the brand would not only decline the temptation to increase prices of their replica TAG Heuer watches , but would actually be reducing prices. Here is the relevant section of the announcement from TAG Heuer: "Tag Heuer is seizing the opportunity of the recent appreciation of the Swiss franc to rebalance its international price policy. The brand will refrain from raising its prices in the eurozone, Japan or Singapore. Conversely, there will be an average price reduction of 8% in Switzerland, China, the USA, the Caribbean, Central America and South America, of 7% in the United Kingdom and 13% in Hong Kong. This new price policy represents an extremely reassuring, positive, constructive and dynamic message for customers and brand partners." I've long since argued that the price incre...

what About Buy A Cheap Replica Cartier Tank MC Watch Review

Image
The specific movement inside of the Cartier Tank MC is the caliber 1904-PS MC. This automatic movement operates at 4 Hz and includes the time with a subsidiary second dial and the date. It makes for a more interesting dial-layout than most traditional three-hand Tank watches, but one could argue that the layout isn't as elegant. The dial comes complete with a full scale of Cartier-style Roman numeral hour indicators and thin sword-shaped hands. While the lighter colored dial versions of the Cartier Tank MC such as the also steel ref. W5330003 has blue steels against a silvered face, this darker almost black-colored ref. W5330004 model has steel hands. While I like how the dial tone is a deeper color that matches the black alligator strap, I prefer the more traditional Cartier-style dials which tend to be lighter and more legible against the hands. All of the Cartier Tank MC watches have blue sapphire crystal cabochons in the crown. Most rectangular-cased watches simply aren...

Introduce The Hublot MP-09 Tourbillon Bi-Axis Replica Watch

Image
At Baselworld 2017, Hublot announced the Hublot MP Tourbillon Bi-Axis replica , the latest chapter in their collection of Manufacture Piece (MP) watches. Hublot designed a compelling 3-sided sapphire crystal case that tapers at 6 o'clock specifically to display the double rotation of the bi-axial tourbillon. Not just the case was created to put the bi-axial tourbillon front and center, the new movement was created with maximum visibility of this mechanism in mind. So, yeah, this Hublot is all about being seen and the result is a watch that's really unlike any other. Limited to 50 pieces in titanium and 20 pieces in King Gold, the Hublot MP-09 Tourbillon Bi-Axis is yet another limited release and that is, at least in part, due to the difficulties involved with the manufacturing process. Evidently, the step-down pattern worked into the lower part of the crystal can't be easy to achieve but it offers a clear and unrestricted view of the tourbillon's range of motion. Thi...
