Celebrating the opening of its new boutique in New York, Casa Panerai located on Madison Avenue in the heart of NYC,ReplicaPanerai is launching the Luminor Bitempo New York Edition – PAM01467. The limitation to 212 pieces is a reference to NYC’s area code. The commemorative timepiece is presented in a 44-mm titanium DLC case and paired with a grey matte gradient sandwich dial. DLC, also known as “diamond-like carbon coating,” is a specific treatment technique applied to the titanium material that improves hardness and lends a cool look and feel.
With its GMT function and a three-day power reserve, the Luminor Bitempo New York Edition captures the unique spirit of the City. The characteristic Luminor personality is reflected by the bold Arabic numerals with white Superluminova coating, small seconds sub dial at 9 o’clock and discreet date window at 3 o’clock.
Reflecting the destination, the hallmark crown protecting device is engraved with the name ‘New York’ on the lever, while the closed case back is adorned with a scenery of the Brooklyn Bridge. As is de rigieur for the Luminor watch family, the timepiece is water-resistant to 300 meters. At its heart ticks the manufacture self-winding caliber P.9010/GMT.
The best-selling replica panerai Luminor Bitempo New York Edition – PAM01467 is attached to a color-coordinated gray strap made of recycled.
HublotReplica Watches takes pride in being the first watch manufacturer to make sapphire cases on an industrialized scale, starting in 2016 with the first Big Bang Unico Sapphire, and even greater pride in its leading role in creating new color variations in that difficult-to-machine material, from reds to yellows to blues. For the undisputed headline piece of its 2021 offerings, unveiled during LVMH Watch Week, Hublot introduces an entirely new colored sapphire case, but it didn’t stop there, equipping the Big Bang Tourbillon Automatic Orange Sapphire with an all-new self-winding tourbillon movement with a few sapphire goodies of its own.
Hublot Bug Bang Tourbillon Automatic Orange Sapphire
The replica watch, limited to just 50 pieces, catches the eye with its 45-mm case machined from orange-tinted translucent sapphire, a world-first material achieved through a manufacturing process that incorporates titanium and chromium. Its finely polished surfaces are accented on the bezel by the six H-shaped titanium screws that are emblematic of the Big Bang collection. The case, which is water-resistant to 30 meters, attaches to an orange, structured rubber strap with lined relief pattern; the strap and the case are equipped with Hublot’s patented One Click interchangeability system.
The new movement can be admired through the polished sapphire case.
The case connects to the strap with Hublot’s One Click system.
A revolutionary case, it follows, deserves a similarly groundbreaking movement, and the Hublot Caliber MHUB6035 qualifies: it’s the “Art of Fusion” brand’s first self-winding tourbillon caliber and it achieves its three days (72 hours) of running autonomy by means of a 22k gold micro-rotor, placed unconventionally at 12 o’clock on the dial side of the skeletonized movement. Equipped with ceramic ball bearings and Hublot’s advanced winding system, and enhanced with haute horlogerie decorations including beveling, sunray brushing, and sandblasting, the movement’s aesthetically balanced architecture positions the microrotor, with its openworked “Hublot” logo, directly above the one-minute rotating tourbillon cage at 6 o’clock. Also noteworthy are the three movement bridges made of sapphire, used here for the first time: the barrel bridge, automatic bridge, and tourbillon barette. Ensuring legibility despite all of this mechanized complexity are hands and hour numerals filled with orange Super-LumiNova.
The skeletonized, self-winding movement positions the micro-rotor above the tourbillon for a symmetrical look.
CartierReplica Watches drives home its iconic design codes in the Drive de Cartier, its new shaped men’s collection, introduced this week at SIHH 2016 in Geneva. The cushion-shaped case of the Drive de Cartier is the latest creation designed to reinvigorate the brand’s longstanding tradition of shaped watches. The collection has all the Cartier design codes: guilloché inner dial, railroad chapter ring, Roman numerals, highly defined proportions and an element of fine watchmaking mechanics.
Aside from the elegant case shape, two outstanding features place the Drive de Cartier definitively in the category of elegant dress watches: the slim tapered profile, or galbe as the French call it, makes it look like an ultra-slim watch, even though it is a fairly standard 11.5 mm thick; and the pattern of the guilloché center, which is uniquely repeated on the outside of the chapter ring, adds elegance. Drive is a full collection, with seven references, including two complications. The Fine Watchmaking version is a flying tourbillon, with the manual wound Caliber 9452, a Geneva Seal movement. It is priced at $89,500 in rose gold. A small complication model, with large date and retrograde second time zone and day/night indicators, contains Caliber 1904-PS MC. This one is particularly inspired by vintage automobile dashboards, and the guilloché is meant to resemble a radiator grille.

Another new complication from Cartier’s Fine Watchmaking division is the Rotonde de Cartier Astromysterieux (below), with an entire movement suspended between crystals to make it appear as if it floats on air. While previous “Mystery”best replica watches have suspended hands or an escapement between two crystals, this new invention displays the entire movement, Caliber 9462 MC. It works by employing four crystals that house elements of the movement, including the balance, the gear train, the escapement and the barrel. Thus, the entire movement is on full view, where it completes a full turn of the dial in one hour. Cartier holds three patents on the mechanism. The Astromysterieux will be produced in a limited edition of 100 numbered pieces in a 43.5 mm platinum case.
Omega’sfamous Speedmaster ’57, first introduced in 2013, returns in 2022, now with a Master Chronometer upgrade and slimmer profile. The downsizing to a diameter of 40.5mm and a height of 12.99 mm was made possible thanks to the new Master Chronometer caliber 9906 with manual winding.
The new Speedmaster ’57 offers a power reserve of 60 hours and is equipped with a sophisticated column-wheel chronograph mechanism. The movement, which is a feast for the eyes, is displayed through the exhibition case back. The refined decorations include the Omega Replica typical Geneva Waves in Arabesque and the blackened screws, barrels and balance wheel. Like all modern Omega movements, it is Master Chronometer-certified and is anti-magnetic to 15,000 gauss.
The new collection consists of eight stainless-steel models that are offered in intriguing colorways and with matching leather straps or a bracelet. The latter is inspired by the Apollo 11 tribute launched in 2019, and equipped with Omega’s patented comfort release adjustment system.
There’s a “sandwich“ black dial edition with recessed hour markers filled with vintage Super-LumiNova, as well as three execution with PVD dials, in blue, green and a new varnished burgundy. All of them feature the typical broad-arrow hour hand, a two-register layout and are framed by a tachymeter scale on the notably slim bezel.
