AVI-8 Bader Chronograph Limited-Edition Watch online Replica watches review

AVI-8 Bader Chronograph Limited-Edition Fake Watch

While commemorative timepieces are relatively common in the world of watchmaking, the historical figures inspiring such endeavors are often anything but. Such is the case of Sir Douglas Bader (1910-1982), a late, great British flying ace. Bader was not only credited with 12 victories during the Battle of Britain alone (22 in total) but also known for epitomizing the grit and bravery of the allied forces. A double amputee, Bader’s heroism was honored by Queen Elizabeth II when he was knighted for services to disabled people in 1976. This followed his renowned stint as Wing Commander of No. 242 Squadron during the Second World War. It is this legacy that Avi-8 Replica hopes to perpetuate with the release of the AVI-8 Douglas Bader Chronograph Limited-Edition watch.

Three colorways in limited runs of 242 pieces are available, and 10% of all sales will be donated to the Douglas Bader Foundation, in addition to a lump sum that will help the charity continue its valuable work promoting the mental and spiritual wellbeing of persons who are without one or more limbs or are otherwise physically disabled. The foundation was established in 1982 — the year of Bader’s death — by a group comprised of family and friends of the aerial expert. AVI-8 x worn&wound replica watch is committed to ensuring that this work continues and is confident that the money raised from this project, in addition to the standalone donation, will be put to good use helping to effect real change in the lives of people living with disabilities.

Bader was known among his comrades as being an exceptionally good-humored man, despite the hardships he experienced during his life. One of his most famous habits was to scrawl “Bader’s Bus Company, Return Tickets Only” on a chalkboard that hung outside a wooden hut just off the runway in an attempt to raise the spirits of the young pilots about to take to the skies to fight. Such a mental diversion tactic must have worked wonders as his squadron affectionately nicknamed itself the “Bader Bus Company.”

Breguet Classique 7147 ‘Grand Feu’ Enamel Dial Replica Watches Hands-On

Breguet appears to be a new which demands a deeper comprehension of the craft of watchmaking to love. Deciding to choose the discreet yet superbly implemented path, many Breguet replica watch bits made now embody the new long and storied history. However, unbeknownst to most people, it really includes a radical balance wheel that is held in place with magnets! Here’s the reason why.

To know the newest Classique 7147’Grand Feu’ Enamel Dial watch we will need to have a glance at the watch which spawned it. It was just last year which Breguet Classique chronométrie replica watches gave us the very first Classique 7147. Like the newest Classique 7147’Grand Feu’ Enamel Dial view, this is an easy time-only watch. The principal dial displays the minutes and hours, and there is a sub-dial that shows the running moments in between 5 and 6 o’clock. It was noteworthy because of its very classic instance size and construction. Only 40mm wide and a mere 6.1mm slim, the situation has a beautiful fluted centre case segment and the dial has been decorated with numerous kinds of guilloche finishes. The newest Classique 7147’Grand Feu’ Enamel Dial watch keeps much of its predecessor’s layout features but features a brand new dial that’s no less attractive.

Nevertheless, the result could be remarkable. Enamel dials are often more vibrant and glistening in their own colours and this is surely true with this particular Breguet Classique replica watches 7147’Grand Feu’ Enamel Dial watch. The white has a purity I have rarely seen in watches and including complexity is how the subsidiary seconds dial is a bit sunken. The transition from the main dial into the sub flow is super smooth with no harsh or irregular edges. However, more to the point, enamel never loses its sheen, so it’s going to stay this colour of white for decades to come.

Since the dial is indeed white, the big hand-painted Breguet Classique grande imitation watches hour mark in black supply incredible contrast. The second track is painted also and also the person minutes are indicated by asterisks, whilst diamond mark adorn the 12, 6, 3, and 9 o’clock positions. The rest of the hours are indicated with stylized fleurs-de-lis. Additionally providing great contrast would be the flame-blued Breguet-style hour and minute hands in addition to the blued baton-style minutes hand.

The Classique 7147’Grand Feu’ Enamel Dial watch is powered through an ultra-thin self-winding motion, especially the Calibre 502.3SD, which may be considered through the watch’s sapphire screen case back. It’s a mere 2.4mm thick and it accomplishes its remarkable thinness by utilizing an off-center rotor. The rotor features beautiful guilloche and the motion is well adorned with beveled brides, Côtes p Genève, polished wheels, and screws. It is modern too, including an anti-magnetic silicon equilibrium along with an energy reserve of 45 hours.

As soon as you choose the dial into consideration, there is no wonder concerning it. Though it might not be predicated on a classic Breguet Classique tourbillon imitation watches view, its general styling and structure surely pay homage to antique watches and watchmaking methods, particularly with its own classic-looking situation and Grand Feu enamel dial. Even in the event that you don’t care much for classic watches, the Classique 7147’Grand Feu’ Enamel Dial watch nonetheless makes for a fantastic dress watch, particularly with its elegant looks and slender dimensions.

Porsche Design 1919 Globetimer UTC Replica Watches

The major new watch release for German Porsche Design Mens Replica at Baselworld 2019 is Your Porsche Design 1919 Globetimer UTC. Germans typically prefer to use the expression”UTC” (coordinated universal time) as opposed to Greenwich mean time (“GMT”) as a matter of style however, effectively, they are exactly the same thing. Porsche Design did not need to only launch a GMT (UTC) watch in this new age of the brand, but rather wanted something technically intriguing, exclusive, and, of course, practical.Porsche Design 1919 Globetimer UTC Replica Watches

Inside the opinion is a brand-new motion that 45mm Chopard Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 Black Edition Replica Watch calls”in-house” I feel it’s a distinctive motion created for them, known as the caliber WERK 04.110, that is based on a module placed over a base motion. The WERK 04.110 works at 4Hz using 38 hours of power reserve (a bit slim for a watch at the price point, these days) and contains the local time with AM/PM indicator window, a date hand, along with a second 24-hour time-zone index hand which can be corrected in either direction using the pushers in the case.

Even though dual-direction GMT watches are not new, they are rather uncommon, and each one is somewhat different. Normal GMT/UTC watches usually allow the wearer to adjust the 24-hour hand in only 1 direction. With every push of the buttons on the side of this 1919 Globetimer UTC instance, the UTC hand moves at a complete hour increment in 1 direction or another. If you’re not traveling to a place with 30-minute time zones, this can be pretty much all the travel watch functionality you need when seeking to determine the time in two time zones at the same time.Porsche Design 1919 Globetimer UTC fake Watches

MB&F launches new Limited Edition HM3 FrogX replica Watch

MB&F Reveals Limited Edition HM3 FrogX replica Watch

The ultra-expensive universe of haute horlogerie has long been a space for odd and expressionistic layouts, but few manufacturers in this area play form with much more playfulness and character compared to MB&F. While the boutique has its official launch a couple of years before, the launch of this crazy, pareidolic HM3 Frog in 2010 will set the tone to the marque’s unique expressionistic style. 2020 marks the 10th anniversary of their first Frog, and also to celebrate, MB&F Legacy Machine replica watch has produced a limited-edition resurrection of this show in eye-catching total mist, exposing the intricate inner workings of their HM3 motion in detail when adding some vibrant new touches to the layout. The limited-edition MB&F HM3 FrogX is a masterful reinterpretation of among their brand’s signature layouts, maintaining the exact same fanciful shape as the first whilst pushing the envelope farther regarding movement style and finishing.MB&F Reveals Limited Edition HM3 FrogX replica Watch

Though the asymmetrical, double-domed situation silhouette of the first HM3 Frog is transported around for its MB&F Replica HM3 FrogX, the FrogX opts for a complete sapphire crystal clear case to expose each aspect of their unorthodox movement inside. As a result of intricate double sided form, every sapphire situation requires weeks of work out work to guarantee ideal distortion-free clarity. In 48.3mm with 52.7millimeters in dimension, this is very likely to be much from a shrinking violet on the wrist, but a layout in this way plans to stand out, to start with. The FrogX additional sets itself aside from the first using two subtle aesthetic developments. The first is really a coloured gasket, vibrantly standing outside within the sapphire case substance in turquoise, navy blue, or even a wild and lush purple. The 12 o’clock crown lacks a conventional signature but utilizes a distinctive micro-forming and design procedure from Swiss industrial manufacturer Rayform to make a distinctive reflective coating. While entirely impractical in training, it is hard to envision a more compelling dialogue starter.MB&F Reveals Limited Edition HM3 FrogX fake Watch

Breguet Classique Chronometrie 10Hz Replica Watch Hands-On

Iconsider this trendy fresh Breguet replica watch among the neatest new bits in their 2012 collection. It’s all according to a union of their brand’s iconic traditional appearance and their highly complex, higher frequency mechanical motion. It is not for everybody, but enough hardcore watch fans like me will undoubtedly get excited by means of a bit in this way.

 The entire title of this watch is your Breguet Classique replica watches Chronometrie 10Hz Reference 7727. While the reference amount is 7727, that isn’t the amount you’ll find on the dial of this watch. Next into the Breguet emblem on the dial is a couple that has to be matched with a similar amount on the motion. If the amounts do not match then based on Breguet, the opinion isn’t authentic. That’s something I did not understand about their watches earlier.

This version is in 18k rose gold with fluted sides and that timeless Breguet Classique chronométrie replica watches look. The dial of this watch is 18k silvered gold that’s been system guilloche engraved. The asymmetrical yet balanced appearance is a signature mode of Breguet ever since the start. The face is finished with blued steel hands and one liter.

That’s correct, the little 1/10 of another hand which overlaps the subsidiary seconds hand is in silicon. It spins round the dial permitting you to know something special is happening here. The vulnerable part of this motion is probably connected to the balance wheel assembly. Additionally on the dial is your time and a power reserve indicator.

Within the opinion is a new movement according to Breguet’s high frequency study. The 10 hertz motion was debuted from the Breguet Sort XXII chronograph see here. For 2012 that the idea is exhibited within this non-chronograph grade 574 DR manually wound movement. It’s 60 hours of power reserve and a silicon equilibrium spring and escapement. In accordance with Breguet Classique tourbillon imitation watches, there’s a magnetic system utilized to keep the very speedy performance of the balance wheel. Since the hairspring and escapement are in silicon, they aren’t influenced by some other magnetic fields.

Through the back of the situation you may see the vulnerable motion through the sapphire crystal caseback. The balance wheel is smaller given how quickly it moves. It’s fairly impressive to see it in action. 10 Hz is over two times as fast as a normal 4 Hz mechanical motion, and twice as quickly as a 5 Hz Zenith El Primero movement. Theoretically it should enhance precision. Just how much it’s tough to say. Breguet Classique grande imitation watchdoes not publish those particulars, but I’ve a sense the 7727 needs to be appreciably more precise than lower frequency moves. In the long run, you are not gonna receive a watch such as this for perfect time, but instead for the art and technology.

Harry Winston Avenue Dual Time Automatic Watch Watch Releases

Harry Winston Avenue Dual Time Automatic Watch Watch Releases

It’s probably quite a good sign when a watch appears both familiar and radical in the same glance. The overall sense I get from the Harry Winston Avenue Dual Time Automatic watch is that it slots neatly into the category of Art Deco masterpiece, but under further scrutiny, each of the elements presents an off-kilter styling that seems completely modern. Deco-inspired pieces have always benefited from the cleanliness of their parent principle. Basically, Art Deco is never as overtly passé as many other epochal styles because it seems such bold, repeating patterns make sense to our brains.

Harry Winston Avenue Dual Time Automatic Watch Watch Releases

There is quite a lot going on with the dial of the Harry Winston Avenue Dual Time Automatic watch, but before I delve into that, I want to spend a moment talking about the case material. This watch is made of zalium. Zalium is an alloy made of aluminium and zirconium. It’s lightweight, corrosion resistant, has no allergenic properties, and boasts an attractive gunmetal surface that can be finished and decorated like other more common case materials. The pin buckle on this watch is also hewn from zalium. I’m glad that Harry Winston chose to use the material all over the watch. Many times, I have seen a crazy new material employed for the case and stainless steel used for the buckle. Consistency is key, and in this case has resulted in a watch that has plenty of character.

In terms of the last outcome, the colours are quite magnificent, particularly that of the colour of green to the Emerald piece. Furthermore, looking at the design of the dial, the craftsmanship recreating the wing design on alloy in what’s essentially a mix between marquetry and cloisonné technique with much nicer, albeit almost microscopic substance is impressive.The new Harry Winston Premier Precious Butterfly set comes housing a automatic mechanical movement (the HW2008) that notably incorporates a horizontal ion equilibrium spring beating at 4Hz. That Harry Winston clearly took the opportunity to integrate a thoughtful quality automatic movement rather than an effortless quartz one is something that I really enjoy to get numerous reasons.First, not only did they include it, however, they also made certain to feature it using a sapphire caseback, rhodium plating, and circular Côtes de Genève completing, as it is purposely intended to be considered. Second, in an opinion like this where the artistry and the complexity of the dial would obviously take centre stage, the motion inside becomes something more private. When lots of people would notice the intricacies of this dial function, it is the woman wearing it that is actually enjoying the automated motion under whether anyone sees it or not. This design strategy evokes a focus on the modern “Harry Winston girl” and why she really wears beautiful things.
Harry Winston Avenue Dual Time Automatic Watch Watch Releases

The dial is very busy. On the left hand side, we can see a second time zone indicator. Three narrow windows are arranged in an optically tricky formation. Behind these windows, a red bar passes between the hours, which themselves are dotted around all over the place. I quite like the idea behind this arrangement, in that there is no real need for the hour markers to sit around the edge of the dial, but in execution, it could be a bit chaotic for some.

Harry Winston Avenue Dual Time Automatic Watch Watch Releases

One arguable benefit for this obfuscating display is that the second time zone does not distract from the home time, which is displayed in the top right hand quadrant of the dial. The effort it takes me to read the second time zone is enough of a barrier for it to blend into the background when searching the dial for the home time. The hours and minutes are displayed against a partially skeletonised background. Behind the time, we can see about 30% of a date window as it makes its way to a traditional window at 6 o’clock. The hours and minutes, despite being off-centre, are very easy to decipher thanks to more standard hour markers that encircle the right-hand side of the dial, effectively splitting the display down the middle.

Harry Winston Avenue Dual Time Automatic Watch Watch Releases

At the bottom of the dial, on the right-hand side around four and five o’clock, a cool, architectural grille can be seen. It looks a bit like an old-fashioned radiator to me, but I can’t deny it sort of fits with the general mien of this watch. And it does serve a function. The “radiator” allows the day/night indicator, positioned around the traditional location of three o’clock, to play peek-a-boo with the wearer.

Harry Winston Avenue Dual Time Automatic Watch Watch Releases

The Harry Winston Avenue Dual Time Automatic watch measures a very wearable 35.80mm across and a forgivable 53.80mm from lug to lug. The alligator strap is attached via a standard 22mm spring bar. The automatic calibre is numbered HW3502, and features hours and minutes, day/night indicator, date window at six o’clock, and a retrograde second time zone indicator. The dial is decorated with a shot-peened style, providing a highly legible background.

Harry Winston Avenue Dual Time Automatic Watch Watch Releases

However uncompromising the sharp-sided case may appear, it has allowed the presence of a straight-sided crown that protrudes at an angle from the four o’clock position. I find it’s location a tad jarring given the symmetry of the watch, but it does reduce the width on the wrist and enable a snugger fit of the watch. The crown is very nicely stamped with the “HW” logo and, in my opinion, succeeds in being a notable design feature in its own right. The price of the Harry Winston Avenue Dual Time Automatic watch is $22,200 for the zalium version. It is also available in rose gold for $38,300. harrywinston.com

Replica Wholesale Harry Winston Project Z10 Watch

Harry Winston Project Z10 Watch Watch Releases

Harry Winston Project Z10 Watch Watch Releases

Harry Winston’s Project Z collection has been around for over a decade now, and the famed jeweler and watch maker has recently shown off the 10th watch in the collection. Dubbed very simply the Harry Winston Project Z10 watch, this watch, like its predecessors, features the use of Zalium and is heavily influenced by engineering and architecture.

If the Harry Winston Project Z is unfamiliar to you, here’s a brief recap. In 2004, Harry Winston embarked on the Project Z collection. The Z refers to Zalium, an exclusive zirconium-based alloy developed by Ron Winston, the son of Harry Winston, who also happened to be a rather gifted chemical engineer who did a lot of work with rocket propellants.

The two biaxial tourbillons each contain 117 parts and every weigh 0.76 g — that is… wait for it… a mind-boggling 0.0065 gram average weight per part in those “whirlwinds.” The equilibrium wheels within the tourbillons are likely at 30 degrees (read more about why that things in this epic hands of this Greubel Forsey Double Balancier) and therefore are ticking away at a relatively feverish 3 Hertz or 21,600 beats per hour. Biaxial means two axes of rotation, and that, in turn, usually means two separate timings. The situation is just the same in the event of the Harry Winston Histoire de Tourbillon 7 either, as the interior cages of this tourbillons create a complete rotation in 45 minutes, whereas the outside pliers come around in 75 seconds, respectively. This dance lasts about 55 hours, once you’ll want to manually re-wind the hand-wound caliber.Focusing on the tourbillons has also simplified the dial and made the watch overall more legible — an accomplishment we appreciate just as much (if not more), as any additional advancements in technical complexity. The dial is that rectangular, softly skeletonized layout in anodized aluminum, with numerals and hands that you can actually read. Given the 50.9millimeter diameter of the enormous, 18k white gold case, the dial should be about exactly the same size as you’d see on a Reverso — so legibility shouldn’t be a problem anymore.ou’ll also notice that while the white gold case was slimmed to a paltry ~51mm in diameter and 17.3mm in thickness the lugs also have been shortened and turned down, probably in an effort to further improve wearability as well.Only twenty portions of this Harry Winston Histoire de Tourbillon 7 will probably be made — ten in a red dial choice, and ten in an anthracite variant, and the jury remains out on whether or not the cost will exceed last year’s version.
Harry Winston Project Z10 Watch Watch Releases

He soon realized that the properties of zirconium were ideal for watchmaking. Not only was it extremely resistant to corrosion, it was also hypoallergenic, very strong, and light. Ron then created a special zirconium alloy and named it Zalium. In 2004, the first Harry Winston Project Z watch was launched and this was the beginning of the collection.

Harry Winston Project Z10 Watch Watch Releases

Fast forward 12 years and we have the 10th watch in the collection – the Harry Winston Project Z10 watch. Like the rest of the Project Z watches that preceded it, the Harry Winston Project Z10 watch has a case made of Zalium. The case is 42.2mm wide and features a chunky design with very pronounced crown guards. The case is also filled with details, which is impressive considering how hard it is to work with Zalium due to its hardness. It’s harder than stainless steel and even titanium. The Harry Winston Project Z10 watch is also water resistant to 100 meters, which is fitting for its sporty design.

Harry Winston Project Z10 Watch Watch Releases

The Harry Winston Project Z10 features an off-center main dial that consists of a black grid with a black satin-finished chapter ring and rhodium hour markers. Elsewhere, there are more grids and lattices rendered in blue anodized aluminum that adorn the dial, and it draws you to its two retrograde displays. At four o’clock is a retrograde day display, while at the opposite side at 8 o’clock is a retrograde seconds display. Finally, at 6 o’clock there’s a date display.

According to the brand, the inspiration behind the Harry Winston Project Z10 watch comes from the iconic Manhattan Bridge, which is appropriate, considering the brand is headquartered in New York. This also explains the grid and latticework that adorns the dial.

Harry Winston Project Z10 Watch Watch Releases

The movement is Harry Winston’s automatic caliber HW3305. It’s made up of 312 components, beats at 28,800bph, features a silicon balance spring, and a power reserve of 65 hours. It also has an 18k gold skeletonized rotor, circular Côtes de Genève on the bridges, and snailing on the plate.

Harry Winston Project Z10 Watch Watch Releases

What’s also interesting about the watch is the strap. Harry Winston calls it a “dual strap” and it is a blend of blue alligator and rubber. Rubber is used to line the back of the alligator strap and that should increase the wearing comfort. The strap is also marked with a shuriken motif.

Harry Winston Project Z10 Watch Watch Releases

The Harry Winston Project Z10 is a much welcomed new addition to one of the more interesting collections from Harry Winston. And although it isn’t quite as complicated nor as flamboyant as its forebears, its simpler design has allowed it to be more legible and also practical. The Harry Winston Project Z10 watch will be limited to just 300 pieces, and it is priced at $22,100. harrywinston.com

Harry Winston Histoire De Tourbillon 6 Watch Watch Releases

The opinion begins with the Ocean-style instance which has the brand’s distinctive “crown claw” along with other case design components. For this Ocean version, Harry Winston place the situation at 45mm wide with a nice combination of polished and brushed surfaces. Yes, it wears big, but that is sort of the point. I think the mixture of elegant and sporty lines is something which ought to attract a very broad spectrum of watch fans seeing something distinct but also flexible. Perhaps, the Harry Winston Ocean set is worth a closer look for several people?Harry Winston included this interesting dial and motion that I hope people take the opportunity to love the case. Stuff like this makes it hard for me to take lower frequency regulation systems in other tourbillon watches when supplying a 4Hz (versus say 3Hz) tourbillon is actually not that large of a deal.One of the trendiest parts of the tourbillon is that the Harry Winston Shuriken logo (located on many of the watches) which doubles as a running second index being connected to the tourbillon. On the back of the motion – that is nicely done, using a mixture of silver and black-colored components – is a handy power reserve indicator (that I believe is a “must have” on high-end manually wound movements).

Harry Winston Histoire De Tourbillon 6 Watch Watch Releases

Harry Winston has recently announced another chapter in their Histoire de Tourbillon line, the Harry Winston Histoire De Tourbillon 6. It is traditionally one of the most complicated watches, but released with the least amount of usable illustrations – you guessed it: one front view. To sum it all up real quick: a triple-axis tourbillon, a separate karussel, 683 parts, two time indications, resetting hands on the second indication, carriage stop on the karussel, over 80 hours of power reserve, and a monstrous 55-millimeter case. Take all that into account, and you will see why it baffles me why such halo pieces – because, after all, such releases are the epitome of halo releases – are debuted with just a single front view of the watch. Illustration-rant over, we can move on to similarly mind-boggling, albeit much more interesting issues now – of the mechanical kind!

Harry Winston Histoire De Tourbillon 6 Watch Watch Releases

The left hand side of the highly asymmetrical Harry Winston Histoire de Tourbillon 6 dial is, of course, dominated by the triple-axis tourbillon, hidden under what appears to be a bulbous sapphire crystal and an arched bridge securing the entire mechanism. It’s a speedy beast too: the innermost carriage that contains the balance wheel and escapement pinion has a 45-second rotation cycle, the intermediate carriage has a 75-second rotation cycle, while the outer carriage takes 300 seconds to make a full rotation. The least common multiple of those figures is 900, which means that it takes as much as 15 minutes for the balance wheel to return to its original position. In other words, the balance wheel takes up the same position only four times every hour.

Harry Winston Histoire De Tourbillon 6 Watch Watch Releases

There is impressive news for those obsessed with the idea behind the actual functionality of the tourbillon – which is to average out positional errors by constantly rotating (re-positioning) the balance wheel. And that is knowing that the balance wheel and spring of the Harry Winston Histoire de Tourbillon 6 are spinning as freely in space as Sandra Bullock was in the movie Gravity. The tourbillon assembly in itself is composed of 141 parts and weighs a mere 1.85 grams – and while that seems remarkably light, it is in fact a very heavy structure when you consider that it has to be stopped and set into motion six times every second, as the frequency of the balance wheels is 3 Hertz (21,600 vibrations per hour).

Harry Winston Histoire De Tourbillon 6 Watch Watch Releases

On the right hand side of the Harry Winston Histoire de Tourbillon 6 dial, a karussel is exposed at the 1 o’clock position: this, quite obviously, is a device that rotates on a single-axis, making a full rotation in 30-seconds – visibly faster than your average one-minute tourbillon. The really interesting part is that the second time display – with the blue indices and skeletonized hands, situated under the karussel – is at first what it seems: a second time display that is linked to the karussel, and hence, through the crown in the right hand side of the case, can be set separately from the other indication.

Harry Winston Histoire De Tourbillon 6 Watch Watch Releases

Harry Winston Histoire De Tourbillon 6 Watch Watch Releases

However, by using the a pusher at the 2 o’clock position of the case, both the hour and minute hands can be reset to zero, allowing this second display to be used as a chronograph. And while there are no running seconds – other than the karussel itself which, again, makes a full rotation in half a minute – I think this is a great idea and something that would be fascinating to see on other, perhaps more widely available watches. The thing is that, sometimes, timing events with to-the-second accuracy is not really necessary, however, being able to use this display either as a second time zone or a 12-hour chronograph easily compensates for the lack of chronograph seconds. I, personally, like to time journeys – something you can scarcely do with a 30-minute chronograph and even more rarely must do with accuracy to the second.

Harry Winston Histoire De Tourbillon 6 Watch Watch Releases

As for the size: it is 40.90mm by 45.08mm and 17.30mm thick. “On the larger side,” you would say? Well, those are the dimensions of just the movement itself, uncased. Not that there is anything wrong with that, as such remarkably complicated pieces do tend to get this large – and again, if you put that into perspective, we are looking at an incredible little machine that measures less than 2 inches in any direction.

Harry Winston Histoire De Tourbillon 6 Watch Watch Releases

The asymmetrical case of the Harry Winston Histoire de Tourbillon 6 is, of course, consequently massive: 55mm by 49mm (that is for the edges of the bezel) with a thickness of 21.80 millimeters. The case is in 18k white gold – with a spot of blue from the ceramic pusher above the crown on the right. Interestingly, the case has a rather gracefully curved, cushion-shaped basic shape to it that is then greatly altered by the two circular additions on the right hand side – as though some mind-boggling horological complications grew out of a more modestly sized watch, making space for themselves in the case.

The price for the most complicated Harry Winston watch, the Harry Winston Histoire de Tourbillon 6 is $722,900 – that is for one of the 20 pieces of this limited edition. harrywinston.com

Swiss Movement Replica Watches Harry Winston Premier Precious Butterfly Watches Capture ‘Pixie Dust’

Harry Winston Premier Precious Butterfly Watches Capture 'Pixie Dust' Watch Releases

Harry Winston Premier Precious Butterfly Watches Capture 'Pixie Dust' Watch Releases

Famed New York jeweler Harry Winston – known as one of the most prestigious Fifth Avenue houses since the 1930s and, of course, for their association with the Hope Diamond – has released the Harry Winston Premier Precious Butterfly Watch collection featuring a new twist on plumasserie. Plumasserie traditionally refers to the art of selecting, preparing and using bird feathers for decoration – in this instance, you guessed it, watch dials!

If you are looking for something unique, the new Harry Winston Premier Precious Butterfly collection watch could be just the right shade. This new Harry Winston Premier Precious Butterfly collection is a particularly notable departure from the brand’s previous Premier Feather Collection which used real peacock and pheasant plumes, but with only quartz movements. This time around, we see automatic movements ticking away inside, giving the updated collection the opportunity to be of interest to a whole new set of female watch consumers.

So what’s the twist on “plumasserie?” Instead of using feathers, as many other watch companies like Dior and Corum have begun integrating into their dial designs, Harry Winston’s new Premier Precious Butterfly collection watches will feature one-of-a-kind dials, colored only by using the delicate iridescent powder harvested from butterfly wings – arguably much more romantic than the modern “unobtainium” materials brands have been developing for their men’s watches. Remarkably, they managed to collect enough of the colored powder from butterfly wings to shade an entire watch dial, and because of the micro-variation, you will never have two pieces exactly alike. This is a technique, I’m told, three years in the making.

In terms of the final result, the colors are quite stunning, especially that of the shade of green on the Emerald piece. Furthermore, looking at the design of the dial, the craftsmanship recreating the wing design on metal in what is essentially a mix between marquetry and cloisonné technique with much finer, albeit almost microscopic material is impressive.

Harry Winston Premier Precious Butterfly “Agrias claudina lugens” watch

The new Harry Winston Premier Precious Butterfly collection comes housing an automatic mechanical movement (the HW2008) that notably incorporates a flat silicon balance spring beating at 4Hz. The fact that Harry Winston clearly took the time to integrate a thoughtful quality automatic movement instead of an easy quartz one is something I really like for a number of reasons.

First, not only did they include it, but they also made sure to feature it with a sapphire caseback, rhodium plating, and circular Côtes de Genève finishing, as it is purposely designed to be looked at. Second, in a watch like this where the artistry and the complexity of the dial would clearly take center stage, the movement inside becomes something more personal. While many people would notice the intricacies of the dial work, it is the woman wearing it that is really enjoying the automatic movement underneath whether anyone sees it or not. This design approach evokes a focus on the modern “Harry Winston woman” and why she really wears beautiful things.

Third, the incorporation of an automatic movement with an upgraded balance spring is something that I feel also shows the brand’s dedication to time precision as a real jeweler-watchmaker, not just a jeweler who happens to make a few fancy watches. Harry Winston – hugely successful as a celebrity favorite for their spectacular one-of-a-kind diamond creations and, only later, equally-as-elegant women’s and men’s watches – could have easily continued to make simple quartz diamond-encrusted jewelry-watches and always found customers.

Harry Winston Premier Precious Butterfly Watches Capture 'Pixie Dust' Watch Releases

Even though plume and flight-inspired watches have been on the scene in a major way since about 2013, they have become more and more evolved in their interpretations. The most well-known are, of course, Dior and their Grand Bal Plume, which ingeniously designed the feathered element into the rotor component to enhance beauty in motion; Cartier’s Marquetry Parrot, which imagined a feathered design but crafted instead from individually fashioned flower petal pieces; and Graff’s iconic butterfly watch, showcasing 1,641 diamonds combined with 108 multi-colored sapphires in a kaleidoscope of moving colors. Each piece highlights a different new design technique.

Harry Winston’s “Chrysiridia Madagascariensis” butterfly watch

In the Harry Winston Premier Precious Butterfly collection, the case is made from either 18K white gold or rose gold with 2.32ct across 57 brilliant-cut white diamonds in a frame pattern adorning the bezel. The matching buckle is also set with diamonds, tonal 18K gold, and a dramatic black satin strap.

My only thought is that with a 36mm dial, it might be a little big for the traditional cocktail watch, but I’m interested to see how it lies on the wrist. It could go either way on a case by case basis, with the larger dial design featuring more as a beautiful bracelet, or perhaps just a stunning casual costume-occasion watch.

Bottom line: for all the hopeless romantics who have secretly dreamed of giving their wife/girlfriend/passionate-unrequited-love-interest a flock of trained butterflies delivering a diamond (you know who you are), this is a great alternative. Additionally, though, if you just wanted a gift with a little whimsy and charm this is actually also an interesting choice with a sentiment just romantic enough that cannot be missed on the receiving end. And finally, for women who are looking for a beautifully designed conversation piece with a story, and a true automatic movement to add to their collection, the new Harry Winston Premier Precious Butterfly collection is well worth considering.

Having seen many unique dials, marquetry techniques and craftsmanship in women’s pieces, what I personally love is the idea that, for a price, you can essentially get a little “pixie dust” in your watch.

The Harry Winston Premier Precious Butterfly collection watches come in four variations: The “Chrysiridia Madagascariensis” – 18K white gold butterfly marquetry motif in Emerald on black silk tech strap, (PRNAHM36WW004) price: $42,500. “Chrysiridia Madagascariensis” – 18K white gold on burgundy tech satin strap (PRNAHM36WW005) price: $42,500. “Adelpha Lara” – 18K rose gold on brown tech satin strap (PRNAHM36RR008) price: $41,500. “Agrias Claudina Lugens” – 18K rose gold on champagne-toned beige tech satin strap (PRNAHM36RR007) price: $41,500. harrywinston.com

The two biaxial tourbillons each comprise 117 parts and each weigh 0.76 grams — which is… wait for it… a mind-boggling 0.0065 g average weight per part in those “whirlwinds.” The equilibrium wheels inside the tourbillons have been likely at 30 degrees (read more about why that things in this epic hands-on of this Greubel Forsey Double Balancier) and are ticking away in a relatively hectic 3 Hertz or 21,600 beats per hour. Biaxial signifies two axes of rotation, and that, in turn, usually means two separate timings. The situation is just the same in the event of the Harry Winston Histoire de Tourbillon 7 either, as the interior cages of this tourbillons make a complete rotation in 45 seconds, while the outside pliers come around in 75 seconds, respectively. This dancing lasts about 55 hours, once you’ll need to manually re-wind the hand-wound caliber.Focusing on the tourbillons has also simplified the dial up and made the watch entire more legible — an achievement we love just as much (if not more), as any additional advancements in technical sophistication. The dial is this rectangular, gently skeletonized layout in anodized aluminum, with numerals and hands which you could actually read. Considering that the 50.9mm diameter of the massive, 18k white gold case, the dial should be about exactly the same size as you would see on a Reverso — so legibility should not be a problem anymore.ou’ll also note that while the white gold case was slimmed to a paltry ~51mm in diameter and 17.3mm in thickness the lugs also have been shortened and turned down, probably in an effort to further enhance wearability as well.Only twenty pieces of this Harry Winston Histoire de Tourbillon 7 will be produced — ten in a red dial choice, and ten at an anthracite variant, along with the jury’s still out on whether or not the price will exceed last season’s edition.

When we gambled that Harry Winston might not be able to outdo its overpowering Histoire de Tourbillon 7 published last year, the renowned jeweler has just announced the Histoire de Tourbillon 8 — the most recent in a continuous series of tourbillon watches whose level of complication and unconventional layout appears to rise exponentially with every new addition. However, while every new entry had somehow managed to up the ante, the HDT 8 seems to recycle the bi-axial tourbillon complication of its predecessor, while currently offering up a new time display with jumping hours and minutes, and a few other decorative tweaks. It is much less of a radical update to the HDT show than we are used to seeing but remains impressive for the same reasons.Now, until we get too deep into the internal workings of this Histoire de Tourbillon 8, it is worth pointing out the evident that Harry Winston could be more associated with jewelry compared to ultra high-end watchmaking from the heads of many. To be fair, the guy (and more recently, the newest) has historically invested more time in the headlines as the jeweler of choice for the Hollywood elite, as well as former or current owner of a number of the planet’s most renowned gemstones. The latter comprises the 726-carat uncut rough diamond termed “Jonker” from the mid-1930s, subsequently the Hope Diamond in 1949, and more lately, the flawless 101.73-carat Winston Legacy. During that deadline, Winston started selling watches in the late 1980s, but things actually did not begin to ramp up in complication until the brand started its own manufactory at Geneva in 2007, and afterwards began producing the impressive high-complication series like the Histoire de Tourbillon, which we’re more than pleased to gawk at now.

It is often said that if you want an accurate watch, you are better off with a quartz piece. While that might certainly be true, does that mean that timekeeping performance in mechanical watches is unimportant? Remember, many watch brands like to advertise their watches as being capable timekeepers. So why is it so hard to find information on how accurate your watch is supposed to be? We attempt to shed some light on this situation.

Moving on, we are turning our attention to a modern day icon and what is surely one of the world’s most popular chronographs, the Rolex Daytona. If you were to look at the Daytona for what it is today, it would be unthinkable to find that Rolex struggled to sell them in the watch’s early days. That’s right, Rolex Daytona watches were unloved and practically worthless during their earliest days. Oh how the tables have turned, and vintage Daytonas are now fetching eye-watering prices at auctions. Join us as we look back on the history of the iconic Rolex Daytona.

Finally, we share a story of triumph, of how one collector persevered and, against all odds, acquired the three F.P. Journe watches of his dreams. And mind you, these aren’t any ordinary Journe watches. What we are talking about here are the three Journe watches that formed the entire collection of F.P. Journe in the brand’s earliest years.

1. Rolex Daytona Watch: A Zero To Hero Story

BEST FROM: aBlogtoWatch & Friends September 11, 2015 ABTW Round-Ups

Looking at the popularity of the Rolex Daytona today, it’s almost impossible to believe that in its early years, Rolex would struggle to sell them. And yet, that’s the truth. In the years following the Daytona’s conception, Rolex had problems selling even 500 of them in a year. Now, however, the stainless steel Daytona with the black dial is almost always out of stock at the boutiques and stories of them selling at prices above list is nothing unusual. What’s more incredible is perhaps how well vintage Daytonas are doing at auction houses, with a particularly rare variant going under the hammer for over a million in 2013. This, then, is the story of how the Daytona went from zero to hero.

2. Should Watch Makers Advertise The Accuracy Of Mechanical Watches?

BEST FROM: aBlogtoWatch & Friends September 11, 2015 ABTW Round-Ups

The proliferation of affordable quartz watches and phones now means that timekeeping is no longer the primary job of any watch. Let’s be honest, how many of you actually purchased a watch based on how accurate it is? Yet, having said all this, isn’t it unusual that watch brands do not actually state how accurate their watches are? This is especially curious when you consider that so many of them actually pride themselves on their watches’ timekeeping capabilities. Yet, all of this is not without reason, and here, we explain and present some reasons why brands might not want to advertise the accuracy of their watches.

3. Bexei Primus Triple-Axis Tourbillon Watch Hands-On

BEST FROM: aBlogtoWatch & Friends September 11, 2015 ABTW Round-Ups

If you think the finest watches can only come from Switzerland or Germany, or even Japan, think again. We wrote about Bexei in the past, and if you have already forgotten, Bexei is the brand of one Aaron Becsei from Hungary. It’s really a one-man operation and Aaron makes nearly all the components of the watch on his own, save for the sapphire crystals, springs, and escape wheels. As a result, he makes less than half a dozen watches per year. This time, we are revisiting Bexei to check out the Primus Triple-Axis Tourbillon. Take a closer look at this watch and find out why it is so significant as compared to other triple-axis tourbillon watches in our hands-on here.

4. Bovet Amadeo Fleurier Tourbillon Braveheart Watch Hands-On

BEST FROM: aBlogtoWatch & Friends September 11, 2015 ABTW Round-Ups

Bovet makes some of the most truly outrageous watches, and though the design of their watches can come across as a tad in-your-face, it’s hard to deny their technical qualities and their uniqueness. The Amadeo Fleurier Tourbillon Braveheart has an undeniably cool name, but it has some unique features too. To begin, it has a cylindrical hairspring, which is only found in a handful of other watches. Next, it doesn’t have a traditional balance wheel and instead uses a three-prong device called a “felly” to improve timekeeping. Finally, the watch has a really long power reserve of 22 days and an Amadeo-style case, which means it has two dials and can be worn either side up.

5. Emmanuel Bouchet Complication One Watch Review

BEST FROM: aBlogtoWatch & Friends September 11, 2015 ABTW Round-Ups

You are probably looking at this watch and thinking that the wheel-shaped device is the escapement and that this watch is kind of like MB&F’s Legacy Machine. Well, you are wrong. I think the best way to think of the Emmanuel Bouchet Complication One is that it is in some ways like a regulateur watch, with the sub-dial at the bottom left indicating the hours and the one at bottom right showing the minutes. The wheel-shaped device can therefore be thought of as a jumping mechanism or a very slow escapement. By the way, if the name Emmanuel Bouchet doesn’t ring any bells, that’s because he is a relatively new independent watchmaker. Despite that, he was the man responsible for the Harry Winston Opus 12.

6. Breguet Tradition 7077 Chronograph Independent Watch Hands-On

BEST FROM: aBlogtoWatch & Friends September 11, 2015 ABTW Round-Ups

Breguet’s recent pieces have been very interesting especially from a technical point of view. The Breguet Classique Chronométrie 7727 was particularly exciting and is an important piece of horology because it pioneered the use of magnetic pivots and silicon in the balance to produce a watch that could run at 10Hz. And the Breguet Tradition 7077 Chronograph Independent Watch that we have here is just as interesting. As you can see, it has two escapements, and that’s because the chronograph functions independently and has its own power reserve in the form of a small blade spring. What’s more intriguing is the way you store power in this blade spring. Hit the link below to find out more.
