TAG Heuer Monaco Dark Road Tribute Special Edition

30 May 20223 November 2023admin

In recent years, TAG Heuer has been focusing on the generation change and lineup expansion of the Aquaracer, which is popular as the brand’s representative diver’s watch and entry-level watch, following the successful completion of the iconic Carrera. While we were refining the two collections that had the biggest impact on sales, we didn’t forget to bring Monaco, which lovers especially love. This year, Watches & Wonders Geneva introduced the new Monaco × Gulf Edition with an in-house movement, and today (May 27), about two months after that, the new Monaco Dark Road Tribute Special Edition was also released.

A new product that was first introduced at Watches & Wonders this year. Officially released on May 13th and 15th to celebrate the ‘2022 Monaco Historic Grand Prix’ in which TAG Heuer participates as an official sponsor.
Founded in 1969, Monaco is often best known for the perfect replica watches of Steve McQueen, a Hollywood star of the 1960s and 1970s. This is because Monaco also became famous when Steve McQueen wore the watch in Le Mans (1971), the legendary racing movie. The Monaco (Ref. 1133B), which he wore at the time, sold for $2.2 million (approximately 2.7 billion won) at a Philips auction last year, making history as TAG Heuer’s most expensive watch. It is true that the link with a great actor raised the value of his name, but Monaco has been an important watch in the history of watch even before that. It was the first rectangular watch to break away from the traditional chronograph shape and was waterproof, and, above all, one of the first automatic chronographs to be created in 1969. At the time, Monaco was equipped with the automatic chronograph caliber 11, developed jointly by watchmakers such as TAG Heuer, Breitling and Hamilton. Later, in the 1970s, a manual chronograph was temporarily introduced with the 7736 or 7740 by Valjoux. One of those spin-offs is Monaco’s ‘Dark Road’ (Ref. 74033N), which, thanks to its very small production in 1974, still makes it to lovers’ wish lists to this day.
This isn’t the first time the Dark Lord has been resurrected. Last year, for the Only Watch auction, a Dark Lord armed with carbon came out. The model, which was a trailer for this year, was sold for 290,000 Swiss francs (about 370 million won) at the time and went to the owner. New for sale, the Monaco Dark Lord Tribute Special Edition is literally a tribute to the original Dark Lords of the past. As expected, the design inherited the all-black concept of covering the dial, strap, as well as the case in black. Monaco’s signature square, square case is made of lightweight and durable titanium. The black color, which is the core, was colored with a more modern DLC coating, unlike the past when PVD coating was used. The same goes for the push-buttons and crown, which are angled to fit the case. The titanium surface was polished by sandblasting. The case size is the same as the original 39×39mm. The waterproof specification is 100m.
As for the dial, in the tradition of Monaco, the main dial consists of a circle inside a square. The hairline is processed in a concentric circle in the center, and the outer part with appliqué indexes is made using a special processing technique to bring out the rough texture of the surface. According to TAG Heuer, it depicts the texture of a racing track and tires. The hour/minute hands and indexes are specially made of rose gold to enhance the value of the special edition. The surface of each hand and the round hour markers on the outer scale of the dial were meticulously painted with Super-LumiNova luminous paint as standard. The chronograph-related hands are all red to contrast with the background of the dial and the hour/minute hands. The sub-dial has a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, a small second at 6 o’clock, and a 12 o’clock counter at 9 o’clock. The date window is located at the bottom of the dial. The tri-compax (three counter) configuration sets it apart from the previous-generation Monaco and the original Dark Lord, which were bi-compax (two counters). Because it was equipped with an engine manufactured by TAG Heuer in-house.
The movement is the same automatic in-house chronograph caliber Heuer 02 as in the new Monaco×Gulf Edition. It was developed and produced by the Chevenez Manufacture completed in the 2010s, and has been used in major collections under the name of Heuer 02 since Ottavia in 2017. Following Carrera, he has been active in Monaco since 2019. It has a frequency of 28,800 vph per hour and a power reserve of 80 hours, which is superior to other chronographs on the market. The chronograph control system follows a stable vertical clutch combination on the column wheel, as is the case with today’s movements. The rotor is made of rose gold like the previous hour/minute hands and appliqué indexes, and the movement continues the concept of the special edition. The movement, including its rotor, can be admired through the sapphire crystal caseback.
The alligator strap, which emits a subtle luster, is also all black. The folding buckle, like the case, is made of black DLC coated titanium. Sandblasting is the same.
The Monaco Dark Road Tribute Special Edition (Ref. CBL2180.FC6497), a modern interpretation of the original past, will be produced in a limited edition of 500 worldwide. According to TAG Heuer Korea, the domestic allocation is 10 pieces. The price of the product is 1,080,000 won.

Hamilton 2022 New Product Preview

27 May 202222 August 2024admin

Hamilton, a replica watches manufacturer born in Pennsylvania, USA, held a preview event to introduce this year’s novelties at the Chosun Palace Gangnam in Seoul on March 28th. New products that brightened up the event were distributed evenly across major collections, from Jazzmasters, who play a major role in Korea, to the Khaki Brothers (Khaki Field, Khaki Aviation, Khaki Navy), and American Classics. Let’s take a quick look at some of the key new products along with a sketch of the venue.

Originally, it was a model that was enthusiastically supported by domestic fans, but this year’s new product may enjoy even greater popularity than that. The green color dial, which is at the forefront of the trend these days, meets the 40mm diameter size that domestic fans will welcome with open arms. Another option is the unfavorable silver-white, now popular blue dial version. The green and blue dials also add a gradation effect that gets darker towards the outside, showing off a more subtle charm. The dial configuration continues the same concept as the previous 42mm version. The dial cut-out according to the popular ‘open heart’ design reveals the main parts of the movement, such as the balance and part of the gear train, adding to the fun of appreciation. If there is anything different from before other than color, it can be indexed. The 3, 6, 9 and 12 indices with large Arabic numerals have been replaced with the same arrowheads as the other hour indices. Thanks to this, I feel more unified.
The movement mounted in a steel case (water resistant to 50 m) is an automatic caliber H-10 (frequency 21,600 vph, power reserve of 80 hours). It is the same as before, but one key part has been changed. Instead of the nivarox balance spring, the Nivachron™ balance spring, developed jointly by the Swatch Group and Audemars Piguet, is fitted. Nivacron™ made of titanium alloy is said to have excellent anti-magnetic properties as well as resistance to temperature changes and impacts.
The Jazzmaster Open Heart Auto will remain 42mm and 40mm two-track going forward. The newly joined 40mm line is also said to be introduced at the same time as a leather strap version in addition to the five-stranded metal bracelet. The prices are 1.48 million won and 1.38 million won, respectively.
Hamilton’s Ardmore was introduced in 1937. It means that I have been leading the brand long before Hamilton’s representative collections such as the Jazzmaster and Khaki collections. Of course, now he has given way to his juniors and he has taken a step back. New news was also quiet. The moment his presence faded, he returned to his new form. The rectangular design from the past Art Deco movement has been inherited, and various colors that fit the current trend have been introduced. Fresh colors suitable for women, such as turquoise, coral, purple, and orange, permeated Ardmore’s unique index. The cowhide strap has also been updated in the same color. A double tour strap is also available in turquoise and beige colors. The 18.7×27mm steel case is equipped with a quartz movement. All models are water resistant to 30m. The price of the product is 620,000 won for the single leather strap model and 720,000 won for the double tour strap version.
The Intra-Matic Auto Chrono, which has been consistently loved by enthusiasts, has been reinvented with the help of world-famous clothing designer Janie Bryant. Jenny Bryant rose to fame by wearing costumes for characters in ‘Mad Men’, ‘Deadwood’, ‘Why Women Kill’ and her films. She also won the Costume Design category at the Hamilton Behind the Camera Awards (BTCA), which Hamilton regularly hosts. Based on her relationship at that time, Hamilton launched a capsule collection that crosses the present and the future with Jenny Bryant.
Adorned in beige gold (PVD coated) and pink, the Intra-matic Auto Chrono is ‘now’. For your reference, there is also a ‘future’ version that uses the same model as a base and dyes the case and strap in yellow gold. Each product has a different color palette, but the design and specifications are the same as the previous model. Equipped with an upgraded automatic chronograph H-31 (frequency 28,800 vph, power reserve of 60 hours) based on the Valjoux 7753 in a 40 mm diameter case. The waterproof specification is 100m. The price of each product is 318 million won.

Breitling New Navitimer B01 Chronograph

25 May 202222 August 2024admin

In recent years Breitling has been rapidly overhauling its major collections under the leadership of industry mogul CEO Georges Kern. From the newly revived ‘Première’ to the diver’s watch ‘Superocean/Superocean Heritage’, the retro chronograph ‘Top Time’, and the ‘Chronomat’ that stands for a multi-purpose sports watch, a successful lineup is created by exquisitely combining tradition and trend. have been built. Still, the reason I feel like I’m missing a single tooth is because the brand’s icon ‘Navitimer’ has been quiet. Of course, new models were added, such as the 1959 Re-Edition, the Valzue 7750 Variation, the Time Only version, and the women’s, but the classic Navitimer B01 Chronograph was not news. The silence was not very long. This year, the 70th anniversary of the birth of Navitimer, the long-awaited eldest son has finally returned with new wings.

At first glance, the next-generation Navitimer B01 Chronograph may seem like something has changed other than the addition of a few more dial colors, but a closer look reveals a lot has changed. It changed from the logo that took the center of the dial. The long-awaited wing logo has been revived. However, the design has changed slightly. The brand initial ‘B’ is gone, and the AOPA (Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association) logo used in the past on the Navitimer is back. This historic logo is also associated with the birth of the Navitimer.
In 1952, Willy Breitling, grandson of the brand’s founder Leon Breitling, invented a chronograph equipped with a rotating slide rule that allowed the pilot to calculate the necessary information (distance traveled, fuel consumption, rate of climb, etc.) We develop a wrist watch. Two years later, the watch was recognized as an official watch by AOPA, the world’s largest pilot club. To commemorate this, Breitling marked the model with the association’s wing logo. This is how Navitimer, well-known as a compound word of navigation and timer, was born. For reference, the new logo, like the 1959 re-edition, omits the letter ‘AOPA’ on the shield crest. This is to reduce confusion. Aficionados of the Navitimer will know its historical significance, but consumers who have seen it for the first time may be puzzled by the character.
The brand name and year of founding are located under the changed logo, and the chronometer phrase has disappeared. The product name has been moved below the center of the dial. Another noticeable change is the date window. At first glance, you may wonder if the date window is missing. The crab at the 4:30 position has been moved to the 12 counter at the 6 o’clock position. Depending on the model, the background of the date disc was even matched to the counter color so that it blended seamlessly with each other. Personally, I don’t think this is an exquisite number. This makes the dial symmetrical, and it also looks like a non-date version. The circular slide rule, which can be said to be the identity of the Navitimer, has the same scale configuration as before, but has been changed from a slightly inclined shape to a flat one. The hour/minute hands and appliqué bar indexes are not significantly different. Instead, the chronograph second hand has become cleaner as the ‘B’ logo decoration at the back has disappeared.
The case (water resistant to 30m) is familiar. From the distinctive bezels with serrated sides to the classic pushbuttons and chamfered rugs for a dimensional feel, tradition has been followed. The dial glass is more three-dimensional thanks to its slightly raised dome shape than before. The case material is divided into stainless steel and red gold, and the more popular 41mm version has been added while maintaining the existing 43mm and 46mm sizes. It is because of its size that many people rave about the next-generation Navitimer. The automatic in-house chronograph B01 is clearly visible through the all-line sapphire crystal caseback.
Caliber B01, which has been a reliable engine for Breitling since its debut in 2009, has now been recognized for its stability. Even other brands used the B01, so I’ve said it all. The specs are also reliable, such as a frequency of 28,800vph per hour and a 70-hour power reserve, which is ample for a chronograph. As a movement representing replica Breitling, it has been certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Institute (COSC), a mark of outstanding reliability. Thanks to the modern design of the column wheel and vertical clutch, the feel of the chronograph is also very impeccable. In terms of appearance, the rotor has changed compared to the previous one. The design has been changed from a closed form to a more suitable design for appreciation of the movement, such as an openwork treatment in the middle. Thanks to this, the column wheel, which governs the chronograph function, is no longer obscured by the rotor.
The crocodile leather strap has not changed, but the 7-strand metal bracelet composed of oblique links is different from the previous one in surface treatment. Unlike the previous generation, which had the entire gloss treatment, in line with the current trend, brushed and polished processing were alternately applied to create a three-dimensional effect. I can’t help but mention Clasp. It has changed from a folding type that opens only on one side to a butterfly type that opens on both sides.
When George Kern put the final piece of the puzzle in the lineup reorganization he led with the next-generation Navitimer B01 chronograph, “The Navitimer is one of Breitling’s most representative models and the best watch on the collector’s wish list. We don’t easily use the term ‘icon’ for every collection.” ‘Navitimer’ means a true icon representing Breitling.
Qualified as a brand icon, the new Navitimer B01 Chronograph has a slightly different dial color depending on its size. Black and silver are standard for the entire line, and 46mm is green and silver, 43mm is copper (copper), mint green and ice blue, and 41mm is mint green and navy blue. For 46mm, the leather strap version is 11.92 million won, the bracelet version is 12.4 million won, the gold case/leather strap combination is 25.64 million won, 43mm is the leather strap version 11.78 million won, the bracelet version is 12.27 million won, and the gold case/gold bracelet combination is 49.9 million won, the 41mm leather strap version is 11.64 million won, and the gold case/leather strap combination is 24.26 million won.
Meanwhile, Breitling is celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Navitimer, with Giannis Antetokounmpo, the ‘Greek monster’ currently bombing NBA basketball, Misty Copeland, the principal dancer of the American Ballet Theatre, and a pioneer in the aviation industry. We’ve joined together pioneer and pioneer Bertrand Piccard into our new Navitimer squad. Each member will continue various activities with Breitling starting with the new campaign “NAVITIMER—FOR THE JOURNEY”.

Patek Philippe Grand Complication 1/10th second monopusher chronograph Ref. 5470P-001

24 May 20223 November 2023admin

Before the fever of Watches & Wonders Geneva 2022, which ended on April 5, Patek Philippe introduced a new watch. It was released alone because I was worried that it would lose attention if it was released together with several new products. A glance at the watch is a nod to Patek Philippe’s intentions. The basic frame is similar to Patek Philippe’s two-counter chronograph, but as you can see from its classification as a grand complication, Patek Philippe’s long-honed technology and interesting stories are in it.

The deep blue dial, accented in intense red, resembles the Grand Complication Split Seconds Chronograph Perpetual Calendar Ref. Looks like a 5004T. Ref. While the 5004T used titanium as its case material, which was very unusual, the Ref. The 5470P-001 is crafted from noble platinum. The diamond hidden at the 6 o’clock position on the case is the proof. It is 41mm in diameter and 13.68mm thick. Water resistance still stays at 30m.
Breguet-style Arabic numerals with indexes or elongated leaf hands, opposite small seconds and chronograph 30-minute counters are the Split Seconds Chronograph Ref. It seems to have brought the configuration of the 5370 as it is. Ref. The point is that the 5470P-001 is a monopusher chronograph with one button instead of three. In the center of the dial are two needles of different colors. The red needle measures 1/10 of a second, and the white needle measures 1 second. When the button at 10 o’clock on the case is pressed, the two hands start at the same time as in a split-seconds chronograph. But the distance between the two soon widens. This is because the white needle that counts 1 second makes one revolution per minute, while the red needle that measures tenths of a second rotates once every 12 seconds. To measure down to tenths of a second, the second track on the edge of the dial is divided into ten seconds. wait here. A prerequisite is that it must be light in order to rotate the needle quickly. Patek Philippe found a solution nearby. It was to make needles out of the silicone material they had developed and patented, Silinvar®.
A light, precise, yet hard needle was completed using the DRIE (Deep reactive ion etching) etching method used in the semiconductor industry. The needle obtained from the wafer is then attached to a round piece of metal to secure it back to the shaft and then painted with red lacquer. To make the 1/10-second chronograph second hand easier to read, each second is marked with a red bar. 1/10 SECOND is engraved on the bottom of the dial. That is why this watch has a special meaning.
Looking back on Patek Philippe’s history of creating numerous complications, it has never challenged a high-vibration chronograph of 36,000 vph per hour (5 Hz). Instead of creating an entirely new movement, replica Patek Philippe decided to use the resources it already had. Caliber CH 29-535 PS 1/10 changes the frequency per hour of the in-house hand-wound chronograph caliber CH 29-535 PS developed in 2009 by Patek Philippe from 28,800 vph (4 Hz) to 36,000 vph (5 Hz), 1 This movement incorporates a separate module for measuring tenths of a second. Thanks to this, traditional elements such as the carrying arm horizontal clutch and column wheel have not been lost.
The mechanism for measuring 1/10th of a second is the same as for normal chronograph power transmission. An anti-backlash driving wheel connected to wheel 4, which rotates at one revolution per minute, is attached to a clutch wheel with serpentine spokes. When the chronograph is activated, the clutch wheel engages the pinion associated with the 1/10 second hand, and the needle begins to move. Measuring just 1.46 mm in diameter, this pinion sits on top of a chronograph driving wheel. It is made of very fine teeth and precisely meshes with the clutch wheel. In summary, the chronograph second hand, which rotates once per minute, operates independently of the conventional chronograph mechanism, and the 1/10 second hand that rotates once every 12 seconds is operated independently by the 1/10-second chronograph mechanism. As the number of gears increases, problems also arise. The needle bouncing phenomenon, which is often seen in horizontal clutch type chronographs, is a typical example. Patek Philippe installed an anti-backlash wheel between the driving wheel and wheel 4 and made the teeth as small as possible so that the chronograph starts and stops smoothly. However, making the teeth of the gears small has a fatal problem. It is vulnerable to external shocks. It is especially important to secure the 1/10-second chronograph clutch wheel so that it does not wobble. Patek Philippe solves the problem by installing two Pendulum shock absorber levers. These levers ensure that the 1/10-second chronograph clutch wheel engages the driving wheel when the chronograph is activated while keeping the levers in place without being dislodged by impact.
Another thing to pay attention to is balance. The addition of a 1/10-second chronograph mechanism means even greater power losses. Adding a barrel to compensate for this not only requires a new design of the movement, but also increases the size of the movement. Since we have decided to use the canvas caliber CH 29‑535, neither method is feasible. Patek Philippe introduced the Oscillomax® system to maximize reliability and accuracy while increasing efficiency. Oscillmax was developed in 2011 by Advanced Research Ref. It was first revealed through the 5550P. This is the first time Patek Philippe has applied the findings of Advanced Research to its current collection. Oscillomax is a new concept of regulating system consisting of a butterfly-shaped Gyromax® in Silinvar® balance with a gold weight attached to it, a Pulsomax® escapement and a Spiromax® balance spring. The key to Oscillomax is to increase energy transfer efficiency through light weight and aerodynamic design. Due to its light weight, it is suitable for rotating the balance quickly, and it is also free from lubrication, which is one of the difficulties of high vibration. Patek Philippe seems to have introduced the oscilloscope to increase the frequency, although there are many reasons. Perhaps even this was not enough, Patek Philippe also worked on the barrel and mainspring. We wanted to reduce the diameter of the barrel arbor to fit a longer mainspring and increase the power reserve. In this way, we saw that the lost power could be offset to some extent. If the main spring becomes longer and the barrel arbor becomes smaller, the tension of the spring may increase undesirably and an accident may occur. Patek Philippe succeeded in reducing the spring tension to an appropriate level by adding a notch to the barrel arbor. As a result, a power reserve of 48 hours was obtained. Caliber CH 29-535 PS’s 65 hours is not enough, but it’s understandable.
A navy blue cowhide strap with a fabric pattern and red stitching for unity of design comes with a folding buckle. Patek Philippe Grand Complication 1/10th second monopusher chronograph Ref. The price of 5470P-001 is 380,000 Swiss Francs (about 498 million Korean Won). It is released as a regular edition, not a limited edition.

IWC Portofino Chronograph 39 Edition “Laureus Sports Foundation”

23 May 20223 November 2023admin

Introducing the Portofino Chronograph 39 Edition “Laureus Sport for Good” from IWC (Ref. IW391408). IWC has been a global partner of the Laureus Sports Foundation since 2005. The Laureus Sports Foundation is planning and supporting more than 250 various sports projects for children and adolescents of the underprivileged in more than 50 countries around the world. IWC has launched a special edition every year since 2006, and a portion of the sales proceeds are donated to the Laureus Sports Foundation. And already this year, the 16th special edition has been released.

The new “Laureus Sport Foundation” edition is based on the Portofino Chronograph 39 launched last year. The successful Portofino Chronograph (Ref. 3910) has been well received by reducing the size and simplifying the function display. In particular, the layout of the chronograph minute counter at 12 o’clock and the seconds counter (small seconds) at 6 o’clock symmetrically reminds me of the long-time bestseller, the Portugieser Chronograph. Like the regular version, the case is 39mm in diameter and 12.8mm thick, and is water resistant to 30m. The movement is equipped with an automatic chronograph caliber 79350 that is a modified version of the base 7750 from the previous generation Portugieser series (Ref. 3714) (frequency of 4 Hz, power reserve of about 44 hours).
You can see the dial color and design unique to the “Laureus Sports Foundation” edition known as Laureus blue. The Portofino line features rhodium-plated and polished appliqué indexes and classic leaf-shaped hands. It highlights the unique elegant charisma. Although the movement is not exposed in the form of a solid steel caseback, it adds a special engraving to the center, as is usual for the “Laureus Sports Foundation” edition. It is a translation of a drawing by Jatin Malhan, a 15-year-old boy from Jalandar, a city in northern Punjab, India, selected in a competition held as part of the Laureus Sports Foundation project. Zatin, who is a goalkeeper for a youth soccer club, is said to have expressed the equal values of a sport free of racial and gender discrimination in this way.
The replica IWC Portofino Chronograph 39 “Laureus Sport Foundation” Edition (Ref. IW391408) is a limited edition limited to 1,000 pieces worldwide and is available for purchase in select IWC boutiques. For reference, the domestic release price is 8.8 million won.

Rado Captain Cook Over Fall Limited Edition Watch

20 May 20223 November 2023admin

Swiss watchmaker RADO introduced a new world-time function for the first time in the Captain Cook line of vintage diver’s watches from the 1960s. By reproducing the characteristic heritage model called Over-Pole Worldtimer close to the original shape, it emphasizes the retro concept while appealing with a charm differentiated from existing products.

The Captain Cook Over-Pole is presented in a polished stainless steel case. The diameter of the case is 37mm and the thickness is 10.3mm, so you can see the influence of the vintage model from the small size. It is for the same reason that the front box-shaped sapphire crystal is used. It has a bi-directional rotating bezel, and a scratch-resistant black high-tech ceramic bezel insert is laser engraved with city names corresponding to 24 time zones based on international standard time, and silver lacquer finish provides a glance at the major time zones around the world. You can check it on .
The dial is also quite eye-catching. A sunburst finish has been applied to the entire dial, which has been gradated from silver toward the outside towards black. Also, the hour marker is replaced with a dot-shaped Super-LumiNova coating at the end, along with a sharply angled appliqué index that seems to have been applied in the Clou de Paris pattern. (At this point, you can manipulate the bezel to align the corresponding time zone with the desired city name, etc.).
The rhodium-plated and polished sword hands are also coated with white Super-LumiNova, which emits a green color in the dark to ensure readability, and the date can be checked through the 3 o’clock aperture (window). The dial is monochromatic, which makes the red neon even more striking. You can also see the anchor symbol that rotates (like the collection’s symbol) on the artificial ruby plate at 12 o’clock.
The movement is based on the three-hand manual caliber ETA 2801, which is equipped with a calendar module and R862, which doubles the power reserve to 80 hours. It’s the first movement I’ve ever encountered in the Rado collection as far as I can remember. A similar option was introduced earlier in the khaki mechanical lineup by Hamilton within the same Swatch group. However, unlike Hamilton, Rado uses a rotating bezel engraved with the city name and a 24-hour scale to function as a world timer, showing a different direction even with the same base movement.
The movement is also proudly exposed through the transparent sapphire crystal caseback. Côte de Geneve (Geneva stripe), blue screws, etc. have been added in their own way, and the characteristic balance of the Swatch Group’s Powermatic series caliber is equipped with a titanium alloy-based Nivachron™ hairspring. The Nivacron™ hairspring is said to be resistant to temperature changes and shocks, and is said to reduce the effect of magnetic fields on the movement by 10 to 20 times as it is a non-magnetic material (however, the Gaussian value is not specified). Although the solution is similar to the silicon material mainly used for high-end movements of Swatch Group brands in terms of antimagnetic properties, unlike silicon produced by photolithography technology, Nivacron™ can be produced in a standard process, allowing for further mass production. You can tell it’s the hairspring material we had in mind. In addition, the precision has been improved by adjusting a little more tightly with a 5-position adjustment from 3-position in the previous version. For reference, the case waterproof specification is 100m.
The strap is made of brown vintage leather and stitched only on both sides of the lug to harmonize with the retro concept product character. The easy-to-use, tool-free strap replacement is possible by applying the industry’s trending interchangeable method, the EasyClip System. You can feel the fun of stringing. The components are also eye-catching. Instead of a typical box-type package, the replica watches body, an extra bracelet, and a guarantee card are provided in a leather pouch-type package that is easy to carry while considering sustainability.
Rado Captain Cook Over Fall (Ref. R32116158) is a limited edition that is limited to a total of 1,962 pieces, inspired by the birth year of the original timepiece.

4 Nomos Glashutte Tetra Neomatic Limited Edition Watch

19 May 2022admin

German manufacturer NOMOS Glashütte has added a new limited edition color dial to the Tetra collection, the brand’s only square watch. Presented in four versions, this limited series also commemorates the 175th anniversary of watchmaking in the region of Glashutte. Since 2020, Nomos has been steadily developing limited editions to commemorate the 175th anniversary of the Glashutte watch manufacturing history for each major collection such as Ludwig, Club, and Lambda.

The four versions are made of stainless steel in common, and the diameter of the case is 33 mm x 33 mm (lug-to-lug 45.3 mm), and the thickness is as slim as 7.3 mm even with an automatic movement. It features a typical Nomos time-only design with four-color dials in off-white, black, blue and red, with rhodium-plated hands displaying the hours, minutes and small seconds.
The movement is equipped with the next-generation ultra-thin automatic caliber DUW 3001 from Nomos in all four color dial versions (with a frequency of 3 Hz and a power reserve of approximately 43 hours). Although it is a full-rotor type, the thickness is about 3.2mm, and the so-called NOMOS swing system using the escapement parts developed and manufactured in-house, including the blue hairspring, is applied to reflect the brand’s substantial development. You can enjoy the unique movement through the sapphire crystal caseback, and the case is water resistant to 30m.
To commemorate the 175th anniversary of the Glashute replica watches manufacturing history, four new Tetra Neomatics are limited to 175 pieces, and the official retail price of the four versions is set at 3,060 EUR each.

TAG Heuer Formula 1 Senna Special Edition Watch

17 May 202215 July 2024admin

TAG Heuer has released a special edition tribute to motorsport legend Ayrton Senna, the Brazilian racer. Formula 1 Senna, which contains Senna’s name from the product name, is a new topic of discussion.

The Formula 1 Senna Special Edition is in a stainless steel case and is inspired by the signature model (ex. S/EL launched in 1987) that Ayrton Senna wore during her lifetime as an ambassador for replica TAG Heuer in the 1980s and 1990s. The distinctive S-linked steel bracelet leading to the In fact, it’s not very new, as the Link bracelet was introduced in the Formula 1 Senna Special Edition in 2017 as well. For reference, the bracelet is equipped with a so-called Pilot extension system along with a folding clasp with push-button type double closure, so that the watch can be worn over the driving suit or sleeve without tools.
The diameter of the case is 44mm, and the fixed steel bezel uses a black ceramic insert that is resistant to scratches and does not cause discoloration. After engraving a tachymetric scale with a high-frequency laser on the brushed top surface (see also the iconic speed of 400 km/h never reached in Formula 1), it is finished with white lacquer, bearing the name of Senna. Only the ‘S’ logo, which symbolizes him, is treated in red to give a design point. The sunray-brushed-finished anthracite dial has a black Azurage-treated counter and the date window at 3 o’clock in red color, and the crown and pusher are also trimmed in red to give the overall black and red color. The harmony makes the watch stand out. Meanwhile, the rhodium-plated appliqué indexes and hands are coated with white Super-LumiNova.
The movement is equipped with caliber 16 modified from the typical universal automatic chronograph workhorse ETA/Valjou 7750 (frequency of 4 Hz, power reserve of about 44 hours). A version without the day of the week disc, this movement is so reliable that it needs no further explanation as to its operational stability and performance. A screw-type solid steel caseback is used to reveal the movement, but instead, the iconic helmet worn by Sena when he commanded Formula 1 was engraved with a special engraving along with the product name ‘SENNA SPECIAL EDITION’, so Formula 1 fans’ desire to own it. evokes. It also supports 200m water resistance with a screw-down crown to emphasize its sporty character.
The Formula 1 Senna Special Edition (Ref. CAZ201D.BA0633), which can be found in major TAG Heuer boutiques and online boutiques around the world since the end of April, is not a strictly limited edition, but due to the nature of the special edition, it will be presented for a certain period of time. . The domestic launch price was set at 4.66 million won.

Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Ultra Watch

16 May 2022admin

Bvlgari, who first participated in Watches and Wonders Geneva (WWG) last year, did not participate in WWG 2022 this year. Even though all the members of the same LVMH group participated in this expo as they did last year. There may be internal circumstances, but a large fish the size of a Bulgari would not have made such a choice without a great reason. Not surprisingly, one step ahead of WWG 2022, the Octo Finissimo Ultra, the world’s thinnest watch, took the spotlight first.

Bvlgari’s challenge towards thin watches has been going on since 2014. The start of the campaign was the Octo Finissimo Tourbillon, equipped with the world’s thinnest manual tourbillon caliber at the time, the BVL 268 (1.95 mm thick). Since then, Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater (2016), Octo Finissimo Automatic (2017), Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Automatic (2018), Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT Automatic (2019), Octo Finissi Mo Tourbillon Chronograph Skeleton Automatic (2020), Octo Finissimo Perpetual Calendar (2021), and Octo Finissimo Ultra, which this year became the world’s thinnest watch with a thickness of 1.8 mm, all of which are ultra ultra in their respective fields. – You broke the scene record. The Octo Finissimo Ultra, which has conquered the last high ground this year, is very meaningful to replica Bvlgari in many ways. Because it celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Bulgari Octo Collection as the final piece of the puzzle in the ultra-thin Octo Finissimo series.
Before the Octo Finissimo Ultra, the title of ‘World’s Thinnest Watch’ was held by the Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept, which debuted in 2018 and succeeded in commercialization in 2020. The thickness of this model is 2mm. This is thanks to the flat and thin arrangement of the barrel, gear train and balance using the caseback as the main plate without a separate movement. Even the time dial is collinear with it. In other words, the movement is the case, and the case is the movement. Octo Finissimo Ultra followed the same logic. There would not have been a viable alternative in the usual way of approaching the two separately.
The difference between the Altiplano Ultimate Concept and Octo Finissimo Ultra is in the way they display the time. While the former is a general structure in which the hour and minute hands share a single axis, the latter is designed in the form of a regulator that displays the hours and minutes separately through different sub-dials. This method, which is rare in ultra-thin, is intended to minimize the length of the vertical axis. In general, since two needles need to be installed on one shaft, the vertical axis is inevitably long, but in the case of a regulator, the shaft can be made relatively short because one needle is installed on each of the two vertical axes. Ultimately, it is possible to reduce the thickness of the movement and the case by that much. It is also refreshing to indicate the seconds by displaying a scale on the surface of the 4th wheel that rotates once per minute without a separate second hand. The 4th wheel itself also serves as a small second.
Another secret to Octo Finissimo Ultra’s retake of the ultra-thin throne lies in its crown. In the case of a traditional crown, it is inevitable to use parts such as a winding stem that rotates vertically to match its rotation. On the other hand, the Octo Finissimo Ultra omits the crown and is designed so that all parts rotate horizontally. Since there are no parts to be placed vertically, the thickness could be reduced that much. Time setting and winding mechanism have also been separated. The slightly protruding teeth at the 3 o’clock and 8 o’clock positions are responsible for each. When you turn the wheel at the 8 o’clock position, the large barrel at the 10-11 o’clock position rotates little by little to produce power. Uniquely, the surface of the ratchet wheel on the barrel is engraved with a QR code that opens into the digital world. By following the code, you will find a variety of online content related to the model, including watch structure and production process, developer interviews, and videos of artists working on the theme of Octo Finissimo. The code is also related to the blockchain. It is said that the ownership of the watch is verified and, at the same time, the ownership of the related video is guaranteed through NFT.
Octo Finissimo’s signature octagonal case has been trimmed to a minimum and concisely to reduce the thickness. The surface has been polished to a matte finish by sand blasting, the standard of Octo Finissimo. The size is 40m in diameter. The bezel and middle case are made of titanium as in the previous product, but the case back, which also serves as the main plate of the movement, is made of stronger tungsten carbide for durability. Tungsten carbide is known to be a very hard material (about twice that of stainless steel). That is why it is often used as a tool for cutting metal. It is also difficult to process. In the case of Octo Finissimo Ultra, it is said that laser processing was used. Based on this material and with the thinnest possible parts, the movement is the manual in-house caliber BVL 180. It is said that it was completed in collaboration with Concepto, the original movement manufacturer of La Chaux de Fong. With a frequency of 28,800 vph per hour and a power reserve of 50 hours, it is quite high for such an ultra-thin movement. Again, thanks to the large barrel, which accounts for a large part of the movement. The balance made in modular form is designed as a pre-sprung type that omits the regulator and attaches a thin weight to the surface for thin and ultra-thin. The sapphire crystal that covers the dial and movement is only 0.3 mm thick. The distance between the hands and the sapphire crystal is only 0.1mm. At the 3 o’clock and 6 o’clock positions on the dial, silicone bumpers are installed just in case. The case waterproof specification is 10m. Although a gasket was installed under the bezel, it seems that it is a part that has to be given up to some extent in order to achieve an extremely thin thickness.
The design of the titanium bracelet that naturally flows from the case is not much different from the previous one, but it is said that the thickness has been reduced by half to fit the extremely thin case. The surface finish was sandblasted the same as the case.
Octo Finissimo Ultra has a lot to say about the structure without the crown and the regulator design with a larger barrel than the dial, as this year’s talking piece, but it is said that the ultra-thin history was rewritten by going beyond the limits within the framework of a mechanical watch. It is as clear as the facts. The price is 400,000 euros. Limited to 10 pieces worldwide.

Cartier ‘Post Watches and Wonders’

13 May 2022admin

‘Post Watches & Wonders’, which introduces major new products unveiled at Watches & Wonders Geneva 2022, which Cartier recently successfully closed in Andaz Gangnam, Seoul, on May 2nd-4th. ‘ Event was held. At this event, which was held privately for VIPs and a small number of press, we were able to meet the main characters who will lead the Maison this year, such as the splendidly comeback Tank Chinoise, the newly introduced Coussin de replica Cartier, and the popular new Tank Must. We would like to share with you some live-action photos of some of the products we showcased at the event.

As another form of the tank, the Tank Schnuise, which was first introduced in 1922, announced a splendid return. The silhouette that was close to a square has been changed to a rectangle to fit the tank these days, but the distinctive design that made the parallel shaft (bezel) stand out is still there, unlike a typical tank. The surface and the edge of the case are polished, and the vertical surface where the eyes touch is satin brushed to emphasize the three-dimensional effect. The case is made in pink or yellow gold or platinum. The size is 29.2×39.5mm. The movement is a manual caliber 430 MC. The frequency per hour is 21,600 vph, and the power reserve is about 38 hours.
Tank Chinouise is presented as the ‘Cartier Privé’ collection that emphasizes rarity for collectors as its name suggests. Each will be limited to 150 pieces.
It is a new work from Tank Must, which debuted last year and is gaining popularity. The product is largely divided into a classic version using unique Arabic numerals and a lacquered dial version that leaves only the logo and omits all elements of the dial. This year’s new product is the latter in pursuit of minimalism. Whereas the previous one created a casual atmosphere with color dials such as green, red, and blue, this new product is faithful to the basics with black black. The size of the case made of stainless steel is 25.5×33.7mm, which corresponds to the large size. The movement is also equipped with quartz, as before.
The name Coussin means cushion in French. It is for the same reason that the case shape resembles him. This isn’t the first time Coussin de Cartier has come out this year. In the 1970s, there was a watch with a similar design that used ‘Kussang’ as its name. Unlike the past, the newly introduced case has a more three-dimensional design. The spirally layered bezel is also new. Each floor is set with diamonds and gemstones of different sizes. The watch in the picture is a high-jewelry version using black spinel and brilliant-cut diamonds. There is also a ‘mild taste’ with diamonds adorned only on the spiral bezel on the regular dial. The case material is divided into white gold, pink gold and yellow gold, and the size is classified into small (27.13×27.66mm) and medium (30.44×33.78mm). All movements are equipped with quartz.
From the Maison’s first water-resistant watch, Pasha de Cartier introduces a new moonphase model. It comes in two versions, pink gold and stainless steel, with a 41 mm diameter case and different materials. The movement is based on the automatic in-house caliber 1904 MC and is equipped with caliber 1904-LU MC with the addition of a moonphase module. It has a frequency of 28,800 vph per hour and a power reserve of 48 hours. The chronograph version can be seen as a variation with a gray dial in the product released last year. The specifications are the same as before, including a 41mm diameter steel case and an automatic in-house chronograph 1904-CH MC (28,800vph, 47-hour power reserve).
Santos de Cartier, well-known for being the first modern wristwatch, changed the mood this year with blue as a point color. A dark blue PVD coating was applied to the bezel, and a rubber strap of the same color was also added. The dial engraved with a horizontal pattern is also available in silver other than blue. Each comes in a large size (39.8×47.5mm) in a stainless steel case. The movement is an automatic in-house caliber 1847 MC. It has a frequency of 28,800 vph per hour and a power reserve of 40 hours.

Panther de Cartier, who has been steadily gaining support from women, has changed his face. It comes in a variety of colors including midnight blue, silky black, golden plum, and champagne. In addition to simply changing the dial color, satin sunburst processing is processed in four directions to add a three-dimensional charm that was not previously available. The case material is divided into pink gold, yellow gold and stainless steel depending on the product. The size is the same as all products, and it is released in small size (22×30mm). The movement is also quartz.
The Masse Mystérieuse, which integrated the parts that make up the movement as a rotor, in the mystery concept that Cartier boasts, unfortunately could not be seen in real life. It is said that all products that were produced in a limited edition of 30 during Watches and Wonders went to their owners as this year’s Talking Piece, which drew a lot of attention with a mechanism beyond imagination.
