Chopard L.U.C 1963 50th Anniversary Chronometer Replica Watch

Image
Here is a nice update from Chopard. Re-established back in 1963 when it was sold to a goldsmith Karl Scheufele III, the company rose to its former glory like a ballistic rocket. A pair of limited edition Chopard L.U.C 1963 50th Anniversary Chronometers (refs. 161963-5001 and 161963-9001) marks the semi-centenary of the luxury brand. While there is a great number of customers that love Chopard for their sporty chronographs, it is the gorgeous L.U.C. collection that allows the brand to show-off its watchmaking prowess. While the porcelain white dial of the timekeeper is deliciously classic with its traditional railway-style minute track, black Roman numerals and attractively sculpted Dauphine-type hour and minute track, the timekeeper’s main point of attraction can only be observed when the owner finally takes the watch off his wrist. Yes, I am talking about the Caliber 63.01-L movement that powers the watch. Protected from dust and moisture with a sapphire crystal, the hand-wound me...

Hublot Big Bang Black Magic amfAR BANG Limited Edition (Ref. 301.CI.1170.GR.AMF11) Replica Watch

Image
Hublot is going to sell 100 pieces of its special numbered edition Hublot Big Bang amfAR BANG (Ref. 301.CI.1170.GR.AMF11) automatic chronograph donating some part of the revenue to the US-based amfAR (The Foundation for AIDS Research) nonprofit organization. Although I (as well as a lot of other bloggers and journalists who happen to write about watches) grow more and more tired of Hublot’s design language, which seems to degenerate into recombining the same couple of vowels and consonants over and over again, it is always a pleasure to write about a corporate monster doing a good thing. Whether it is a restoration of an old plane or a move to support the dwindling rainforests of Malaysia, the act is always generous, always welcomed not only by its beneficiaries but by the general public as well. The watch that Hublot decided to re-issue as a limited edition model belongs to their well-known (even iconic, perhaps) Big Bang collection. Its only difference from the rest of the famil...

Buy TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 18 Automatic Chronograph Replica Watch

Image
TAG Heuer debuted an interesting retro chronograph at Baselworld 2015, called the Carrera Calibre 18. Largely inspired by a historic “Heuer” model designed by Jack Heuer in the 1950s, it is sure to appeal to those looking for vintage styling in a modern timepiece. The Dial The TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 18 replica watch has a silver sunburst dial with a dual register layout. On the left is a 30-minute chronograph counter, and on the right is a continuous small seconds display – both decorated with an anthracite azurage finish. The original dial was white with black counters, and the look is reminiscent. Although, the modern version has a convex surface, unlike the flat dial of its predecessor. A printed telemeter scale on the outer chapter ring was included instead of a tachymeter. The telemeter scale allows the wearer to measure the distance of something that can be seen and heard. For example, when you see a flash of lightning, if you start the chrono, and then when you hear the...
