Bremont Introduces New Film-Inspired Kingsman Collection

Posted on by

In January the British replica Breitling watches company Bremont brought out a new collection of world-time chronographs. The Bremont Kingsman Special Edition watches were designed in conjunction with the new film Kingsman: The Secret Service, out this month from 20th Century Fox. The three new models, which are worn throughout the film by actors like Colin Firth and Michael Caine, are available for purchase now.

In terms of Bremont watch genealogy, the Kingsman Special Edition bears a resemblance to the ALT1 family of fake Breitling watches. It combines a tricompax dial design for the chronograph with a 24-hour world timer. The world-time function is controlled via the crown at 8 o’clock, which rotates the bidirectional internal bezel bearing the names of cities in 24 time zones. Since Kingsman focuses on a jetsetting world of English spies, Bremont’s British pedigree and travelers’ watches make a perfect complement.

The Kingsman Special Edition has a BE-54AE movement. As dial arrangement would suggest, this caliber is Bremont’s version of the ETA Valjoux 7750. It is a 13 1/4-lignes automatic movement, beating at 28,800 vph. It has a Glucydur balance, an Anachron balance spring, a Nivaflex 1 mainspring, and 25 jewels. Its power reserve is 42 hours. The skeletonized rotor is decorated by Bremont and features the brand’s name. The Breitling replica watches has been COSC-certified as a chronometer.

The dial has hours, minutes and chronograph seconds mounted at center, along with an arrow-tipped 24-hour UTC hand. This hand points to the appropriate hour once the city has been selected. The running seconds display is at 9 o’clock; the chronograph minutes subdial is at 12 o’clock and the chronograph minutes subdial at 6. A date window is at 3 o’clock.

The watches use Bremont’s three-part “Trip-Tick” case construction, involving a case middle or barrel of a distinct design (often in another alloy or treatment). The case is 43 mm in diameter with a lug width of 22 mm. Its height is 16 mm. The domed sapphire crystal is scratch-resistant and has nonreflective coating. The caseback bears a sapphire crystal window. The new replica watches uk is water resistant to 100 meters and comes on a leather strap with a pin buckle.

IWC Ingenieur Chronograph Silberpfeil

Posted on by

IWC upgraded its Ingenieur collection of sports best Swiss Breiitling replica watches in 2013, incorporating design touches inspired by the brand’s partnership with the Mercedes-Benz AMG Petronas Formula One racing team. Among the new models in the line is the Ingenieur Chronograph Silberpfeil, which pays tribute to a classic race car.

The Chronograph Silberpfeil is named for the Mercedes-Benz W25 Silver Arrow (“Silberpfeil” in German), which famously got its name from  a race at the Nürburgring in 1934 in which the Mercedes pit crew stripped the white paint off of the car to enable it to achieve its weight limit and revealed its silvery aluminum bodywork.

The watch’s dial, available in either silver or brown, sports a cloud-like perlage pattern of overlapping circles — in fake Breitling watchmaking, usually found only on movement plates and bridges — that evokes the dashboard of the legendary Mercedes race car. The red elements on the dial, including the center-mounted chronograph seconds hand, echo the look of the Silver Arrow’s tachymeter and revolutions counter. The date display is integrated into the seconds subdial at 6 o’clock.

The strap, which bonds a calfskin-inlay leather outer layer with an inner layer of rubber, is also reminiscent of 1930s motor racing tradition, in which sturdy leather straps were commonly found on drivers’ overalls and in the cockpits and bonnets of their vehicles. Stainless steel bracelets with fine-adjustment clasps are also available. The solid, stainless-steel caseback features an engraved illustration of the Mercedes W25 Silver Arrow race car.

IWC’s in-house chronograph movement, Caliber 89361, powers the cheap Siwss replica watch’s signature function, a chronograph with a flyback mechanism. The dial’s design enables stopped hours and minutes to be read easily on the same subdial at 12 o’clock. The central seconds counter can be used in conjunction with the tachymeter scale around the dial to calculate speeds. The flyback function is engineered with racing pit stops in mind: pressing the reset button returns the seconds hand instantly to zero and immediately starts timing another sequence. IWC’s Pellaton winding system — developed by technical director and longtime Mercedes racing enthusiast Albert Pellaton — enables the movement to maintain a power reserve of 68 hours.

The mechanics of time laid bare

Posted on by

Soon the stars of the watchmaking runway will have nothing but the barest of bones to express themselves with. But these skeletons aren’t macabre; on the contrary, they offer vast areas of expression to the watchmakers who have managed to reinvent them. In 2015, skeleton watches are making their voices heard at the SIHH.

While the art of skeletonization in best Breitling Replica watchmaking is very old, it underwent a renewal a decade ago with the arrival of new timepieces intended to rejuvenate this technique of stripping down mechanical movements. Principally purely decorative, skeletonization-or the art of hollowing out the bridges and plates of a movement-has not just changed with the introduction of new component manufacturing procedures; it has been completely transformed. The 2015 SIHH has given us a new demonstration of this, while confirming that skeleton movements are well and truly in vogue. To such an extent, in fact, that certain manufacturers who haven’t mastered this art have opted for openwork dials just so that they can give their watches the skeleton name…

A window on the components

Gone are the days of slightly hollowed-out bridges and plates-now they are practically stripped bare! And it should be noted that very few old procedures have been transformed into such spearheads of daring contemporary watchmaking. The old has become sexy and new! Roger Dubuis has played a significant role in this metamorphosis, having quickly decided to explore this path and turn skeletonization into a true signature. In actual fact, the procedures implemented at Roger Dubuis completely changed the very notion of skeletonization, because instead of hollowing out an existing movement (taking care not to modify its structure or strength), they chose to imagine and design skeleton watches from the very first start of their creative process. This naturally allows for more flexibility, perfect calculation of the forces acting upon the movement’s architecture and, above all, calibers that are genuinely produced and visualized in three dimensions. In sum, engraving has been supplanted by chamfering and 3D views. Furthermore, the new products released by Roger Dubuis for 2015 are precisely focused on this skeleton theme, as the new Excalibur Spider Skeleton Flying Tourbillon illustrates.

Other brands have also contributed considerably to the current interest in airy, architectural movements. Richard Mille, in particular, has led many of his competitors down the 3D path, encouraging descents into watch movements. Distant descendents of traditional skeleton high quality Montblanc replica watches, these calibers are the result of a modern, transparent concept of watchmaking that lets the mechanics speak for themselves. Paradoxically, the RM 51-02 Tourbillon Diamond Twister presented this year plays with this transparency, which is partly obscured by an explosion of diamonds.

Honor kept intact

Cartier has also explored this approach extensively, designing movements as skeleton calibers from the very outset to such an extent that their openwork bridges now also serve as hour-markers in a concept patented by the brand. The new Rotonde Astrotourbillon embodies this process perfectly.

Traditionally, skeletonization was mainly reserved for ultra-thin movements, and several Manufactures are continuing to innovate in this field, even going as far as to set ultra-thin skeleton movements with gemstones. This is the case for Piaget, who has presented several such models over the last few years including the 1200D caliber, the first automatic gem-set skeleton movement unveiled in 2013. But even in this instance, the skeleton watch is no longer produced as it used to be: the spirals and other curved shapes have given way to ever-more complex geometrical forms (including inside corners, which are always difficult to chamfer), revealing relatively large decorated horizontal surfaces that give these timepieces their strength and character. Piaget is also using the art of skeletonization on more complex pieces, such as the Emperador Coussin 1270S, an ultra-thin automatic tourbillon presented this year. The two Tonda 1950 Skeleton references unveiled this year by Parmigiani Fleurier also demonstrate the current trend for ultra-thin skeleton movements that are contemporary. The women’s version is particularly noteworthy, with its sand-blasted sapphire crystal playing with semi-transparency. This Swiss replica watches sale leaves things mostly to the imagination and is not completely laid bare-its honor is intact!
