Take A Look At The Longines Single Push-Piece Chrono Replica

I’ve been a fan of Longines men’s replica ever since I became aware of the company’s existence. Vintage Longines makes for fairly priced, reliable ownership, giving much better value than its better-known Swiss counterparts. Modern Longines too surpasses any pre-conceived expectations of quality for its price, offering replica watches I would gladly own regardless of budget. And I did own one: the Longines Legend Diver.

Being a bit of a serial swiss replica watch swapper (you can blame easy part exchanging for that), the Longines eventually went, but of all the replica watches I’ve owned and sold (ranging from Rolex, Omega, Panerai, Audemars Piguet, IWC, Bell & Ross—you name it), it’s the Legend I keep thinking about repurchasing.

The Heritage range—in which the Legend Diver lives—is probably the most appealing of the Longines catalogue, and this addition, the Column-Wheel Single Push-Piece Chrono to give it it’s full name, was added in celebration of the replica watchmaker’s 180th anniversary. That’s right—Longines has been making replica watches longer than Rolex. If pedigree’s what you look for in a replica watch, Longines will do you well.

Based on a mishmash of vintage-inspired details, the Single Push-Piece Chrono manages an obviously vintage aesthetic without falling into the realms of caricature. The blued hands are rich and deep in colour, and the gloss dial—although not actual enamel—has an attractive shine to it that contrasts against the crisp printed numerals. Enamel would have been too cost-prohibitive at this price point, which is fair enough.

The star of the show is the calibre L788, based on an ETA A08. Don’t be disheartened by ETA’s presence in the mix; after all, Sreplica watch, owner of Longines, owns ETA as well, and the movement ETA has selected for Longines is an exclusive proprietary calibre. It’s a bi-compax design, leaving space at six for a date window and keeping the dial balanced. Activation of the chronograph is via a single pusher in the crown, which starts, stops and resets in that order. The L788 itself uses a column wheel to manage chronographic activities, a turret-like component that does away with vague cams and levers and adds precision and snap to the pusher action.

Turn the replica watch over and all this wizardry can be seen in action, with Longines graciously highlighting the column wheel in blue so it stands out. ETA has done well to open up this movement to show what’s happening inside; automatics normally have most of their inner workings obscured by the rotor weight and its ancillaries. It’s no hand wound A. Lange chronograph, but it is only a tenth of the price.

Once again, Longines has shown that it understands the market better than most other replica watchmakers in Switzerland. It produces well-made, attractive replica watches at attainable prices, plus it has a heritage than many other so-called ‘high end’ replica watchmakers can only dream of. Maybe I will buy that Legend Diver again after all.

Hands-On With Replica TAG Heuer Connected Modular 45 Smartwatch Aims To Be Eternal

Hands-On With Replica TAG Heuer Connected Modular 45 Smartwatch Aims To Be Eternal

Today, TAG Heuer Men’s Replica debuts the follow-up smartreplica watch to their successful TAG Heuer Carrera Connected from 2015. It isn’t just a new product, but a sign of a long-term investment in the category of smartreplica watches. The 2017 TAG Heuer Connected Modular 45 smart replica watch is an upgrade across the board both as a digital connected wearable device and as a modern luxury product. Modern utility as well as future “eternity” are key components of this new high-end timepiece’s value proposition. TAG Heuer wants this “Swiss Made” smartreplica watch to be useful as a piece of modern technology today, while also desirable as a timeless item to wear tomorrow. Let’s see how they went about engineering that for what is among the neatest-looking smartreplica watches I’ve worn to date.

Last month, I spoke with TAG Heuer CEO Jean-Claude Biver about the upcoming Connected Modular 45 replica watch. He explained some of his overall philosophy toward the next smartreplica watch from what is traditionally a mechanical replica watch maker, as well as what he and the company learned after putting the first Carrera Connected smartreplica watch on the market. For Jean-Claude Biver, it seemed that the two most important elements in the Connected Modular were both a celebration of its status as a “true” Swiss Made product, as well as the ability of the product to last beyond the normal ownership expectation period of most consumer electronics purchased today. He knows that smartreplica watches last only a few years in terms of their utility, but wants to make sure that consumers remember that “mechanical replica watches will work 1000 years from now as long as there is someone who knows how to operate a screw driver.” Dissect that statement as you like, but it is more than well-known that replica watch consumers feel comfortable buying mechanical replica watches at high prices precisely because they do not fear “further obsolescence.”

A lot of people speculated about exactly what the “Modular” part of the upcoming product’s name would mean. Even though the TAG Heuer Connected Modular 45 has now debuted, there are still a lot of questions about the future of the product and what TAG Heuer will release for it. The promise of being able to swap out certain components for cosmetic or technical upgrades is a key part of the product’s appeal, and one can only guess what new modules TAG Heuer will release in the future. It is also important to explain that even though TAG Heuer now has a facility in Switzerland to assemble its smartreplica watches, it continues to have close ties to Intel. TAG Heuer even employed a former Intel worker to run its connected replica watch division, which is located in Palo Alto, California – the heart of Silicon Valley.

This is very important because it shows TAG Heuer understands what is required to seriously develop not only a family of smartreplica watch products, but to also continually support it through software updates as well as maintain close connections with other technology products. TAG Heuer’s own team easily remarks that the biggest difference between a mechanical replica watch and a smartreplica watch from a company perspective is that work on the former ends when it leaves the factory, while work on the latter continues almost perpetually.

A Charming Watch On Your Wrist:Hublot Classic Fusion Italia Independent Replica

The partnership of Hublot and Italia Independent is not new. The two companies first collaborated in 2014, and these new Hublot Classic Fusion Italia Independent replica watches are the third collection to be born from this union. For the uninitiated, Italia Independent is a design company based in Italy and founded by the extremely stylish but somewhat eccentric Lapo Elkann of Italy’s powerful Agnelli family. Most recently, Hublot and Italia Independent worked together to give us the Big Bang Unico Italia Independent replica watches in Texalium. Inspired by fabrics and textile, these Big Bang replica watches look distinctly different from the rest of the Big Bang stable. And now, Hublot and Italia Independent are applying the same aesthetic cues to the more elegant Classic Fusion replica watches, but this time with actual fabric.

Let’s begin with the basic recipe of these replica watches. The Classic Fusion Italia Independent replica watches are based on Hublot’s Classic Fusion Chronograph. Case size is 45mm and they will be offered in three different materials: titanium, ceramic, and King Gold. Inside, all of Hublot Classic Fusion Italia Independent replica watches will be powered by the calibre HUB1143, an automatic chronograph movement that beats at 4Hz and has a power reserve of 42 hours. Water resistance for all replica watches in this collection is a fairly decent 50 meters.

So what makes these new Hublot Classic Fusion Italia Independent swiss replica watches special? Just take a look at the dials and straps: they are actual fabrics chosen from renowned Italian tailors Rubinacci. Founded in the early Thirties, the style meisters at Rubinacci have dressed luminaries such as the Duke of Kent and the Agnelli family, and have a collection of more than 60,000 square meters of exquisite houndstooth, tweeds, and various other expensive cloths.

Of course, using fabrics in replica watches is not a new concept. Hublot themselves used denim in their Big Bang replica watches as early as 2013. And last year, we saw Vacheron Constantin come up with the very elegant Métiers d’Art Elégance Sartoriale collection. So perhaps this new collection is further evidence that horology and couture can indeed go hand-in-hand.
