Introducing Replica Victorinox Swiss Army Infantry Automatic

The Infantry Automatic from Victorinox has many of the features of a traditional military replica watches: large, easy-to-read Arabic numerals, a minutes track, luminous hands and dial markers, a prominent sweep- seconds hand and a water-resistant case.

But the watch’s military styling is clearly a matter of fashion, not function. The case, which is 40 mm in diameter and highly polished, isn’t rugged enough for a soldier’s wrist: it’s almost delicate-looking and has no added protection such as surface hardening, a screw-down crown or screwed lugs. It will do much better in civilian life. Thanks to its relatively thin case (10.4 mm) and sloping lugs, it lies flat against the wrist and slips easily under a shirt cuff.

Replica-Victorninox-Infantry-AutomaticIn keeping with the watch’s low price, $695, the watch is simply made. It contains an undecorated ETA movement in the lowest of four quality grades, a mineral glass caseback instead of a sapphire one, and a simple pronged buckle. But it has no serious flaws. The only minor ones are that the crown is a little too small for easy winding and setting and the faint, stamped hour numerals from 14 to 22 look more like flaws on the dial than useful indications.

These drawbacks do not detract from a number of attractive details. Although the crystal is not curved, it is beveled along its edge. A groove between the bezel and mid-section provides a visual accent and a leather strip is sewn to the end of the strap to cushion the metal buckle. The Swiss replica watches weighs just 73 grams and is comfortable to wear all the time, even to bed, and the large markers glow into the early morning hours. The watch’s legibility is superior.

All in all, the Infantry Automatic is an attractive everyday watch, especially for first-time mechanical-watch buyers.

Vacheron Constantin Replica Métiers d’Art Fabuleux Ornements Watches 2016

The Vacheron Constantin Métiers d’Art Fabuleux Ornements replica watches collection is an invitation to celebrate the ornamental beauties of the world drawn from the decorative arts of several cultures. Two year after its first launch, the collection unveils four new models born of the art of  openworking and a combination of artistic crafts bearing the Hallmark of Geneva.

Replica Vacheron Constantin Métiers d’Art Fabuleux OrnementsTen different master Artisans have provided reinterpretations of Ottoman architecture, Chinese embroidery, Indian manuscripts and French lacework. These creations are equipped with an ethereal hand-engraved movement:calibre ultra-thin 1003 in 18K gold replica watches. The finesse of the front-facing décor is precise to the nearest tenth of a millimetre, while on the back Vacheron Constantin has opted for an exclusively chamfered and hand-drawn finish that preserves a restrained appearance.

Replica Vacheron Constantin Métiers d’Art Fabuleux OrnementTraditional arts meet at the crossroads of different cultures. To highlight this exceptional know-how, the model “Indian manuscript” is created from the alliance of Grand Feu champlevé enameling and hand engraving. The “Ottoman architecture” timepiece is defined by hand chamfering, purple mother-of-pearl base and a gold grid work studded with half-pearl beads. The “French lacework” model is adorned with a translucent hand-guilloché Grand Feu enamelled dial. The base of the gold dial is clad in a guilloché motif lending subtle depth to the transparent enamel and set with garnet-colored sapphires and diamonds. The fourth timepiece “Chinese embroidery” is crafted in white gold according to the stone-cloisonné technique with jade. The dial is sculpted from mother-of-pearl and features a pink opal shaped according to the glyptic art and complimented by finely hand engraved gold leaves and pistils.

Vacheron Constantin Replica Métiers d’Art Fabuleux OrnementFor 260 years, the Manufacture has consistently enhanced the beauty of its creations through artistic crafts. Hand engraving is one such technique. A demanding art calling for exceptional patience and dexterity, it was used right from the start as a means of achieving ethereal lightness. The first replica watches created by Jean-Marc Vacheron in 1755 already featured an openworked and engraved balance-cock. A master in the practice of this extremely intricate discipline, Vacheron Constantin has given free rein to its creativity, progressively openworking both simple and complicated calibres, associating them according to its inspiration with other artistic crafts.

Independent Swiss replica watchmaking shines in Dubai

Swiss replica watches cheap sale online for fake watches collectors—The first edition of Dubai Replica Watch Week, organised by Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, turned the spotlight on independent replica watchmakers. The very ones most likely to interest replica watches collectors.

Ostensibly, Bovet Fleurier and Christiaan van der Klaauw have little in common. One bears the name of a celebrated watchmaker who set up in business in the nineteenth century; the other is named after a contemporary movement-maker. One wrote some of the finest pages in the history of Swiss horology; the other is Dutch and a member of the Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants, a cosmopolitan group if ever there was. Little in common, yet both travelled to Dubai to spend time with the region’s cheap replica watches enthusiasts, proof of a certain meeting of minds.

Bovet Fleurier, a heritage in its hands

Pascal Raffy, owner of Bovet Fleurier since 2001, strides through the Dubai International Financial Center, the venue for the event, with the confident air of a man with a clear mind. Clear he made the right choice when he took over a brand with production of just 133 watches. Clear he made the right move five years later by equipping the brand with the manufacturing capacity it lacked, and transferring the business to Château de Môtier, a property of the Bovet family whose debuts in Bovet replica watchmaking date back to 1822. “Over fourteen years, we have gradually incorporated production of movements,balance springs, dials and cases without selling our soul,” he remarks. “At each point in this vertical integration, we have had one specific and clear idea in mind, which is to safeguard Bovet’s heritage. I personally believe that people must remain at the heart of watchmaking.”

Dubai Watch Week CalibreImageEven at a time when numerous markets are in disarray, Pascal Raffy has the assurance that Bovet abides by the belief that solidity is more important than show. “Back in 2013 I sensed that the future would hold some surprises, and not necessarily of the good kind, so I calculated budgets based on zero growth for the years 2014 to 2016. This meant we were ready to face the situation as it stands today. Yes, circumstances are difficult but overall I can already say that 2015 will be a satisfactory year.” The recent introduction of the 19Thirty collection is doubtless one of the reasons why. By launching its first steel watch, inspired by one of its own pocket chronometers from the 1930s, Bovet widens its appeal while continuing to embrace the passion that has inspired Pascal Raffy, from the very beginning of the brand’s contemporary adventure, for “timepieces that have something to say.”

Christiaan van der Klaauw, intelligible astronomy

When Van Cleef & Arpels unveiled its Midnight Planetarium, the public at large discovered a previously unfamiliar name: that of movement-maker Christiaan van der Klaauw. Established in 1974 by the eponymous replica Van Cleef & Arpels watchmaker, a member of the Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants, the brand is unique as the only workshop to produce nothing but timepieces with astronomical complications. Originally specialised in clocks, next year the brand will celebrate the twentieth anniversary of its first ever wristwatch, the CVDK Satellite du Monde. “There is a long tradition of astronomy in the Netherlands, particularly since the work of Christiaan Huygens,” explains CEO and Creative Director Daniël Reintjes. “With our Christiaan van der Klaauw timepieces, our wish is to perpetuate this science by devoting ourselves entirely to astronomical indications.” After a decade designing watches for the brand, in 2009 Reintjes succeeded Mr Van der Klaauw at the head of the company, with three friends as fellow shareholders.

Daniël Reintjes“Since then we have focused on modernising Christiaan van der Klaauw. The brand’s replica watches tended to be extremely complex and assuring reliability was sometimes an issue. Our first step was to look for ways we could simplify our watches and make them more easily legible, more intelligible, using quality automatic movements. We buy our base calibres in Switzerland and develop the additional astronomical modules ourselves, in-house. We currently have three watchmakers and sufficient capacity to produce between one and eight watches per module and per year. Obviously our objective is to grow not so much in quantity but in terms of creativity.” Collectors can but approve.

Replica DeWitt Twenty-8-Eight Skeleton Tourbillon Watches Swiss

The Swiss Replica DeWitt calibre DW8028s uses age-old, recognized and highly reliable technical parameters in its construction: 18’000 A/h, a variable-inertia balance, a 44° angle escapement and 72 hours power reserve.

Replica-DeWitt Twenty-8-Eight Skeleton TourbillonEntirely produced in-house, this manually wound Tourbillon is equipped with a Swiss anchor escapement and a spiral made out of an unbreakable, self-compensating, non-oxidizing,anti-magnetic alloy and sequenced at  2.5 Hz. The perfect homogeneity and incredibly precise flat rolling of the Hairspring (0.0001 mm) guarantee an extremely high precision to the mechanism.

Architectural strength and finesse

The Twenty-8-Eight Skeleton Tourbillon does not intend to compete with the ultra-skinny and fragile skeletons where as much material as possible was taken out of the construction. The architecture of DeWitt’s skeleton remains deliberately strong and is therefore very well balanced with the design of the case which features 48 imperial columns. A typical feature of practically all DeWitt masterpieces.

The carved-out main plate, a sand-brushed nickel silver base set with 215 round diamonds, is an impressive labyrinth of curves, circles and straight lines. Meandering across the movement, the lucky observer will suddenly land on a stunning skeletonised “W” logo positioned at 9 o’clock. The play on depths, perspectives and layers is a typical feature of DeWitt designs and the Twenty-8-Eight Skeleton Tourbillon is no exception. The skeletonised “W” logo is actually duplicated on the lower part of the movement in order to offer these interesting volumes when admiring the movement from either side of the replica watches sale.

DeWitt Replica Twenty-8-Eight Skeleton Tourbillon watchesBut however robust the foundations, your eyes will inevitably be dragged deep into the movement and the captivating finesse of its ticking mechanics. You will marvel at the Tourbillon as it gracefully rotates on its axis, held in place by a long, slender and circular- grained Art Déco bridge.

An authentic piece of art

The barrel, positioned at 12 o’clock, is also skeletonised in order to reveal the interior of the motor. The shape given to the open-worked barrel was inspired by the design of vintage car steering wheels. As the barrel wheel gently turns with the unwinding of the spring, the stems of the upper part will glide over the stems of the lower part. Yet another interesting play on layers by DeWitt.

A successful match

The Twenty-8-Eight Skeleton Tourbillon is housed in a 43 mm round case made in 18-carat white gold. Presenting particularly comfortable proportions with redesigned lugs and slightly more discrete imperial columns displayed on its flanks, it remains instantly recognizable and true to DeWitt’s cheap watches replica strong DNA. Its balanced design offers the necessary combination of character and refinement for a successful wedding with the architectural lines of the skeleton movement.

DeWitt and its passion for exceptional

The Twenty-8-Eight Skeleton Tourbillon fully complies with the very demanding finishing norms of the DeWitt Manufacture. Entirely hand-made, the treatment and finishing-work on this piece are of a rare quality. Case, plate, bridges, wheels and even miniature screws are all angled, polished, satin-finished and treated to perfection in the patient and meticulous hands of our watchmakers.

Last but not least, a particularity of all watches coming out of the DeWitt Manufacture, every high complication replica watches is entirely assembled, adjusted and tested by a single master watchmaker.
