On the occasion of the 2016 SIHH, Van Cleef & Arpels Replica Watches adds a new chapter to th Poetry of Time. The Maison presents indeed a brand new movement, featuring retrograde hours, variable speed minutes and animation on demand.
Omega Replica Watches UK went the extra mile at the 2014 Baselworld, playing the vintage card with the Seamaster 300 and the Speedmaster Mark II and also being innovative with the introduction of the first fully antimagnetic movement and the spreading of the co-axial escapement to all collections.
New materials are also in the current scope: after the introduction of a full-black ceramic Speedmaster in 2013, the cheap replica Omega Dark Side of the Moon, Omega presented a gray version in 2014, again with a ceramic case, nicknamed the Lunar Dust.
Monochromatic watches have been one of the major trends in the watchmaking industry in recent years, especially with the use of black-DLC coated cases, with sometimes questionable results. Although we’re not the biggest fans of all-black watches, we have to admit that Omega’s use of the look on the Speedmaster was interesting. First of all, the color scheme works great on the Dark Side of the Moon, and the concept of a ceramic watch has been pushed to the extreme: the case, crown, pushers, caseback, buckle and even the dial are made of that same material. And the new interpretation, a “declination of grey,” is a nice alternative for those who want a brighter color.
The Omega Speedmaster Replica Lunar Dust shares its 44.25-mm case and technical specifications with the Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon. The case is made from a solid block of white ceramic that is treated with a plasma technology. We’re not talking about a surface coating here, but a deep treatment that tints the entire ceramic: if you cut the case in half, you’ll see that the gray tone goes all the way through. What that means is no risk of fading colors or of seeing traces of white after the case has been scratched (something that will probably never happen anyway, because ceramic is nearly scratch-proof). On the photo below, you can see the different steps of manufacturing.
The color obtained through the process is a metallic gray, darker than stainless steel or titanium, reminding us of the color of a moon stone. The difference between the entirely black “Dark Side of the Moon” and the new “Lunar Dust” is that the dial on the latter is made of a solid piece of platinum that is finely textured and is a bit iridescent. The bezel, crown, pushers, caseback and pin buckle on both models are made of ceramics. The hands and indices, with the classical Speedmaster Professional design, are black colored and filed with Super-LumiNova. Even the engraved tachymeter on the bezel is filled with Super-LumiNova.
With its Mythical Journey collection, Piaget brings a whole new dimension to its close ties with Venice. A pioneer in contemporary patronage with the restoration of the Clock Tower, the Manufacture has designed a new collection in tune with the legendary city, a work of art in its own right worthy of those that it embodies. Enhanced by exclusive partnerships with creative artisans and the most renowned Maîtres d’Art, Piaget’s watchmaking expertise is deployed in timepieces embodying the most daring and spectacular decorative techniques.
Directly inspired by the dial of the Clock Tower of the Piazza San Marco, a magnificent zodiacal arc adorns this Altiplano Replica Watches UK. Combining the paillonné (spangled) enamel and relief engraving techniques, the timepiece is graced with 12 appliques that are engraved and then applied to the dial amid a hail of sparkling stars.
