Replica Rado: Pay Close Attention To The Design

The relationship between design and swiss replica watches should be an obvious one. Every Replica watch is the product of a collaboration between product and graphic designers, made possible with the work of engineers. Watches Replica are rare objects in that they encompass so many design disciplines. They are 2D, 3D and exist in the space of style and fashion. A great watch succeeds at all levels, and is a true example of quality design.

While most watch brands are dedicated to design in their own way, few are as dedicated to design as a global practice as Rado. Part of the Swatch Group, Rado Mens Replica is a pioneer of aesthetics and materials, creating simple, elegant timepieces that feature modern manufacturing and technology at their cores. A quick glance at pieces like Baselworld 2016’s Hyperchrome Ultra Light will reveal this. Combining a monobloc (single piece) silicon nitride (Si3N4) matte ultra-light high-tech ceramic case with hardened grade 5 titanium inserts and crown, as well as an automatic movement with aluminum bridges, the Replica watch boasts more case technology than most brands have across their lines. But rather than flaunt this distastefully, the watch comes together with a minimal, Zen-inspired design that is reserved, understated and timeless.

The theme of “lightness” not only pervades Rado’s work, but also their global design initiatives. This year, Rado sponsored two design events in NYC, NYCxDESIGN and WantedDesign, as well as hosted their first Rado Star Prize on US soil, which was on display at Industry City in Brooklyn this last May. Rado Star Prize is a series of challenges for young product designers to compete in around single themes. For the US, lightness as pursued though the use of “new material(s) in the domestic realm” was the theme. There were two winners, one selected by jury, the other by the public.

The jury winner was Kimberly Markel, who created the Glow Chair from reclaimed plastic. Cast into a mold based off a hand made clay chair, the pale green translucent object is a contrast of materials and textures. The public winner was Vineta Chugh and her concept for the Hurricane vase. Pulling from the form of one of Nature’s most turbulent occurrences, the Hurricane vase is a moment of intense motion and form frozen in space and time, rendered in glass. More of the finalists can be viewed here.

In addition to NYCxDESIGN and WantedDesign, in 2016 Rado Replica is also a proud sponsor of World Design Capital: Taipei. WDC is a biennial occurrence that takes place in design-forward cities, hosting events throughout the year, including the first Rado Star Prize Taiwan contest. The theme of WDC: Taipei is “Adaptive City – Design in Motion”.

Rado does not just sponsor events, they also take place in them, holding over 30 international design awards for their timepieces. In 2015 Rado won the Good Design award, issued by The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design in cooperation with the European Centre for Architecture, Art, Design and Urban Studies for their Diamaster Grande Second. A striking design with a plasma ceramic 43mm monobloc case and an asymmetrical-dial, they are unique and luxurious timepieces.

Now in 2016 Rado has won a Red Dot award for their True Open Heart series. Featuring mother-of-pearl dials and ceramic cases, these limited edition Replica watches are open-heart in a unique way. Rather than the typical cut through one finds over a balance, the MOP is left transparent, subtly revealing the movement below. The effect is mysterious and intriguing, making these unlike any MOP dial Replica watches you’ve seen before.

Rado’s dedication to design is an important facet of the brand. Though the Replica watch industry at times seems like its own world, Replica watches and watch brands are part of design culture at large. Participating in and supporting design globally is a duty that more brands should undertake, acting as ambassadors for the industry. Rado has always kept innovation in their crosshairs, pushing on both aesthetic and techincal levels, making them a great candidate for the task. We look forward to seeing what 2017 will hold for Rado and design.

Take A Look At The Graff Princess Butterfly Secret Replica Watch

Graff Diamonds has proved once again, that it is a home to the most fabulous jewels in the world. British multinational jeweler’s latest item, Graff Princess Butterfly, uses the outline of a butterfly’s wings to create a feminine secret swiss luxury replica watch , which is available right now at select boutiques all over the world.

Secret replica watches have been fascinating women with their dazzling exteriors and amusing secrets. Popular from the 1930s-1950s, secret replica watches are being currently reimagined as a luxury statement of individual style. The $135,000 Graff Princess Butterfly is adorned with 23.14 carats’ worth of tapered baguette- and brilliant-cut diamonds. The wings of this timepiece are covered in diamonds pavé set on the surface of the wings, with tapered baguette diamonds on the edges. This transformable piece of high jewelry required advanced 3D technology to map the curves and contours of the wings.

A contour of tapered diamond baguettes defines the moveable elements that reveal and hide a quartz-driven 17 mm timepiece with a beautiful mother-of-pearl dial. It took Graf’s craftsmen a few months to design both the contours of the wings and the ingenious mechanism, which is hidden by the seven diamonds in the centre that conceal the dial of this secret watch. By pushing on one of the diamonds, the wings part seamlessly to reveal the secret watch.

The elegant look of Graff Princess Butterfly is completed by a satin strap. The all-diamond Princess Butterfly version comes with a bracelet created with four flowing interwoven bands of diamond-set 18-karat white gold. Notably, Graff has created eleven variations of this gem-set marvel.

Longines Replica Celebrates Its 180th Anniversary

Longines Mens Replica celebrates its 180th anniversary this year with the launch of the new Saint-Imier collection, named after the village in Switzerland where the luxury replica watch brand was born. The collection is modelled by brand ambassadors – Hollywood actress Kate Winslet, Chinese actor and singer Aaron Kwok Fu Shing and tennis legend Andre Agassi.

As a guest of Longines for the ‘Longines Royal International Horse Show’ at Hickstead two weeks ago, The replica watch Gallery’s online editor Emily Seares managed to explored the new Saint-Imier collection in greater detail, alongside some of the new limited edition replica watches (limited to just 180 pieces each), to mark the brand’s 180th anniversary. The final two images in the slideshow showcase a gold Longines pocket replica watch and Longines La Grande Classique replica watch (featuring 180 diamonds) which are both stunning special edition pieces.

Started in the village of Saint-Imier in 1832, Longines has always remained close to the village where the brand was launched. As the only replica watchmaking company, which was set up and still remains in Saint-Imier, Longines has stayed true to its historical values of ‘tradition, elegance and sport’.

The Longines Saint-Imier collection houses a range of exceptional replica watches, all fitted with mechanical movements which are visible through the transparent sapphire back cover. The shape of the case – inspired by a model dating from 1945 – is common throughout the collection and the replica watches show hours, minutes, seconds, date and some also feature chronographs. The choice of dials includes black, silver or white mother-of-pearl, with a diamond index and are fitted on a black/brown alligator strap or a steel or rose gold bracelet. A more prestige model features four retrograde functions, as well as day/night display and phases of the moon. This also houses a calibre L707, specially developed by ETA exclusively for Longines.

Celebrate The TAG Heuer Monza Chronograph Replica Watch

September 1975, Monza race track, Italy: racing driver Niki Lauda wins the Formula 1 Grand Prix for Ferrari. A few months later, in 1976, Jack Heuer, great-grandson of the company’s founder, designed a chronograph in honour of the victory (Heuer was the Scuderia’s official timekeeper from 1971 to 1979). This was the first time “Monza” had appeared as an inscription on a best replica watch dial.

The all-black TAG Heuer chronograph replica had a cushion case, pulsometer (for measuring heart rate), tachymetric scale (to calculate speed as a function of time) and red hands and counters adding a sporty touch. The innovative and stylish design of the Heuer Monza set it apart, and helped to shape the legend we know today.

For 2016, the 40th anniversary of the Heuer Monza chronograph, TAG Heuer is unveiling a new version of this iconic replica watch. The reissue, modelled faithfully on the 1976 Heuer Monza, features two key functions of its predecessor: the pulsometer and the tachymeter, a first for the company, since no previous remake has had both. The famous black cushion case, formerly in steel, is now made of grade 5 titanium, and the replica watch’s powerful presence is further enhanced with a matt black titanium carbide coating. The case diameter has been beefed up from 39 mm to 42 mm, giving today’s replica watch a more masculine and contemporary look. The dial sports the historic HEUER logo, and the look is completed with black and white lacquered hour and minute hands, styled like the original.
On the inside, the 2016 version of the Heuer Monza chronograph is driven by the automatic Calibre 17. The caseback is screwed down, engraved with the Heuer logo picked out in red lacquer, and numbered. The replica watch oozes vintage style, enhanced by the “super racing” style strap in full-grain calf leather with large perforations, a nod to the three-branched steering wheels common in racing cars of the time.

In The Industry Downturn, Swatch Group/ETA Seems To Sports Supplies

There’s no denying that the Swiss replica watch industry is experiencing a downturn right now. Exports from Switzerland fell in 2016, down 16.1 percent in June when compared to June 2015 figures. Swatch Group, undoubtedly one of the biggest players in the Swiss watch industry today, has been hit especially hard by the tepid marketplace, reporting a 53.6 percent dip in operating profits.

But this article isn’t about Swatch’s profit margins (at least not directly), but rather a piece of watch industry news that went under the radar. Earlier this year around mid-June, Reuters reported that Weko, Switzerland’s competition commission, would examine the possibility of Swatch Group-owned ETA increasing supply of mechanical movements to third parties. This is a significant reversal of a 2013 court ruling allowing Swatch to decrease supply of movements and key components to third parties.

First, some history for those unaware. Swatch Group as we know it today was born largely out of the Quartz Crisis of the 1970s, a period that nearly destroyed the Swiss replica watch industry. With the introduction of then innovative quartz watches, many of the traditional, mechanical watchmakers went out of business or nearly did. In an attempt to save the industry, two of the largest entities (SSIH and ASUAG) were forced to merge, forming what would eventually come to be called Swatch Group. (For a more in-depth historical look at Swatch Group, read our coverage here.)

NickHayekJr(CEOSwatchGroup) — Nick Hayek Jr., CEO Swatch Group (photo credit: Swatch Group)

The strength of Swatch Group is largely built on the assets, knowledge, equipment, and infrastructure acquired from this consolidation. Movement house ETA—itself a consolidation of several holding companies built on numerous manufactures acquired over half a century—was a critical part of the merger. Likewise, Nivarox-FAR, another Swatch Group subsidiary, became an umbrella for nearly all regulating components; to put things into perspective, more than 90% of Swiss watchmakers today rely on Nivarox hairsprings. Ultimately, ETA became the preeminent supplier of Swiss movements, even to their direct competitors, and Nivarox hairsprings became the heart of the industry.

In 2002, however, Swatch Group announced that it would begin pulling back its supply of movements, culminating in a 2013 court decision that finally laid out the plan for the weaning process. Swatch Group got the go-ahead from Weko to gradually dwindle their supply of movements and key parts to competitors, and by 2019 it would no longer be required to sell to any competitor outside of the Swatch Group (2023 for the all-too-critical Nivarox hairspring).

No one expected ETA to put the kibosh on supplying movements altogether; the firm’s manufacturing capacity is, simply put, far too vast to stop. Nevertheless, this latest bit of news presents an about-face from Swatch Group, a firm whose argument hinged on the notion that dwindling supply would ultimately be healthier for the industry, which would be forced to invest in alternative and innovative movements.

Of course, others did step in. Two of the bigger industry players, Sellita and Soprod, responded by ramping up production. Ronda announced a new mechanical movement at Basel 2016, and Eterna is eagerly pitching their family of calibers. Horage is currently working to scale their robust K1 modular movement, and smaller firms like Technotime and Concepto are in the process of expanding their mechanical portfolios. Vaucher, a fully-integrated manufacture, is doing incredible work on the higher-end and making their calibers available to third parties. And let’s not forget the Japanese options from Seiko and Miyota, already heavily utilized by many micro brands.

So why the apparent reversal? As the Reuters article speculates, weak demand across the board has resulted in abundance of mechanical movements, and Swatch Group is likely looking for ways to improve its capacity utilization. But how does Swatch increasing third party sales affect all the aforementioned movement makers? Swatch Group’s capacity certainly gives it greater pricing power than most of its direct competitors, and the ETA brand reputation is still strong among watch brands and consumers.

Cal. K1

The aforementioned K1 caliber by Horage (formerly Accurat Swiss) began initially as a response to the Swatch announcement, but soon evolved into something else entirely–a high-grade, innovative modular movement intended for scalable production. worn&wound spoke to Horage founder Andreas Felsl for his perspective.

“I am surprised that some people are surprised. While finding our own strategy to make the K1 movement project competitive, it became obvious that Swatch Group would sooner or later reverse [their] decision and ship again,” said Mr. Felsi. “We designed the K1 in the way we did because we saw a market for a better product. We invested in a way which allows us to do business our own way no matter what Swatch Group will do.”

Mr. Felsi raises an intriguing point. The increase in output by some movement makers was–and still is–largely a response to the Swatch decision. Insecurity among firms that cannot manufacture their own movements remains high, and understandably so. But most movement makers looking to take ETA’s place are still at the mercy of Swatch’s market share, never mind the technical know-how Swatch keeps close to its chest and its ability to control critical regulating components like hairsprings. Many of these companies are still working with dated mid-century concepts; sure, they’re tried-and-true, but they’re far from innovative, and one could argue that the industry did not respond with new ideas as Swatch rhetorically predicted, but have instead responded with more of the same.

Most movement makers looking to take ETA’s place are still at the mercy of Swatch’s market share, never mind the technical know-how Swatch keeps close to its chest and its ability to control critical regulating components.

For the industry to truly move forward and for companies to prove their worth, there needs to be continued investment in the manufacture of new and technically-forward calibers. Greater access to the core technologies currently held by Nivarox would certainly aid in that process. And this shouldn’t be happening only in the high-end, either. If that means that there needs to be greater cooperation within the industry between different entities, then so be it.

Mr. Felsl adds, “Everybody, no matter if independent or group owned, will have to…justify its existence in the market by innovating.”

It’s hard to disagree.

Patek Philippe World Time Chronograph ref. 5930G-001 With 40mm CaseReplica Watch

An 18K white gold Calatrava fold over clasp keeps the swiss replica watch comfortably secured to the wrist.The new Patek Philippe World Time Chronograph replica ref. The wrist presence is definitely out of this world and reserved for those that strive for the best. 5930G-001 comes with a hand-stitched matte navy blue alligator strap with large square scales matching the dial. On the wrist, the replica watch wears more like a 40 mm replica watch and extremely elegant.

5930G is the new automatic Patek Philippe mens replica in-house movement calibre CH 28-520 HU. The movement is based of the automatic CH 28-520 PS chronograph caliber with column-wheel control and a vertical clutch as well as the proven World Time module based on a concept developed by Genevan replica watchmaker Louis Cottier in the 1930s. For this particular movement, the chronograph movement and the World Time mechanism were enhanced with extensive modifications. The movement, fully visible via the display case back, is composed of 343 parts and fitted with 38 jewels to provide a power reserve of 55 hours while beating at a frequency of 28,800 vph. Additionally, the movement features the traditional uni-directional central rotor in 21K gold.Powering the new Patek Philippe World Time Chronograph ref. Axes were shifted, bridges thinned and newly designed, and component clearances changed such that the caliber CH 28-520 HU can legitimately be called a new movement.

The center of the dial is designed along the lines of the World Time replica watch tradition sporting a subtle hand-guilloché decoration interrupted only by the 18K white gold index markers and the 30-minute chronograph counter. This subdial stands out with a delicate white-gold surround, the white minute scale, and the discreet circular-grained finish. It has bright numerals on a dark background and a moon symbol for the nocturnal hours as well as dark numerals on a bright background and a sun symbol for the daylight hours. The design is not only an artistic exploit but also assures optimized legibility.The 24-hour ring, which continuously rotates counterclockwise, doubles as a day/night indicator.

The texture on the guilloché pattern in the center of the dial is so nicely done and well texturized, that you can almost reach in and touch it as you stare at the replica watch in awe.Its blue opaline dial with hand-guilloché center and white gold applied hour markers with luminescent coating is simply the nicest blue dial we’ve ever seen.

While the traditional Patek Philippe ref. 5930 had to be fitted with a long trotteuse hand and a 30-minute counter at 6 o’clock. 5230 World Time does not have a seconds hand, the new World Time Chronograph ref.

A combination of two long-standing Patek Philippe specialties that true connoisseurs so far have seen only in a single piece from the 1940s, the World Time Chronograph brings the best from the legendary Genevan manufacture to the table.Without a doubt the star at Baselworld 2016, the new Patek Philippe ref. Encased in a 39.5 mm white gold case with a striking blue opaline dial and blue leather strap, the new Patek Philippe World Time Chronograph ref. 5930G is not only extremely beautiful but also perfectly functional. 5930G World Time Chronograph, joins the ranks of one of the most fascinating horological complications ever created by Patek Philippe.

The time in the 23 other zones can be quickly and easily determined with the city disk and the two-colored 24-hour ring which instantly tells the user whether it is day or night in the respective city and time zone.The 18K white gold case measuring 39.5 mm in diameter is exquisitely finished with satin-brushed strokes and highly polished areas in a symphony of contrasts and perfection. The World Time function is also very easy to use: The hour and minute hands indicate the time in the city and time zone whose name is shown at 12 o’clock.

When traveling from one time zone to the next, pressing the rectangular rounded pusher at 10 o’clock advances the city disk and the 24-hour ring counterclockwise in one-hour steps as well as the hour hand clockwise, also in one-hour steps. The correction is finished when the city name of the destination time zone is at 12 o’clock.

The pushers of the chronograph are also rectangular and rounded following the traditional cues of the Patek Philippe chronographs that along with the winglet-style lugs —a key design element of the 1940s and 1950s World Time replica watches— rise in all glory when looking at the case resting on its caseband with the crown up.

It is wristreplica watch No. 5930 is the result of a long journey where the development of a chronograph faced the challenge of indicating all 24 time zones with a clean dial layout design. 862,442 dated 1940 —part of the Patek Philippe Museum Inventory No.To date, only a single other Patek Philippe World Time Chronograph is known, a one-of-a-kind piece crafted over 70 years ago. P996— featuring a dial with pulsometer and asthmometer scales, that probably belonged to a physician. The new Baselworld 2016 Patek Philippe ref.

Because the chronograph hand is powered via a vertical clutch, it can also be used as a permanently running seconds hand without risking undue wear and without affecting the rate accuracy and power reserve of the replica watch. 5930G embodies everything that belongs to Patek Philippe’s proud replica watchmaking heritage while featuring technical and functional innovations that make it a latest-generation movement. The chronograph has a start/stop pusher at 2 o’clock and a reset pusher at 4 o’clock that also doubles as a flyback pusher. This also applies to its operation, in line with Patek Philippe’s commitment to user-friendliness. When it is pressed while the chronograph is running, the sweep hand flies back to zero and a new time measurement is started automatically.The new Patek Philippe World Time Chronograph ref.

5930 has a moving city disk with 24 international time zones as well as a moving 24-hour ring on which the time is indicated for the city that stands directly above it.Where conventional chronographs have a scale graduated in fractions of a second, the new Patek Philippe World Time Chronograph ref.

The outermost display element in blue lists the 24 city names that each represent an entire time zone. This subdivision reflects the movement frequency of 4 hertz —28,800vph—, which allows times to be stopped to an accuracy of one-eighth of a second. It is a narrow white circular scale with fourth-of-a-second graduations.A look at the dial shows how seamlessly the two complications are integrated. It has been updated with new cities for some time zones —for instance Dubai instead of Riyadh or Brisbane instead of Nouméa— and takes into account the fact that Moscow changed its local time from UTC+4 to UTC+3. A small gap between the city disk and the 24-hour ring accommodates the seconds scale for chronograph measurements.
