New Urwerk UR-101 T-Rex Edition

zelin0802

With its bronze-hued carapace and raw presence, it is the essence of wandering time.

As the name suggests, the UR-101 and its sister model, the UR-102, are Urwerk’s first. This best watch was the foundation of Urwerk, defining a style and a way of displaying, and influencing nearly 30 years of endless creativity since. The first UR-101 and 102 featured a unique wandering hour display inspired by a clock made for the Pope by the Campani brothers in 1652. A few years ago, Urwerk relaunched the UR-102 concept with the Reloaded model. Now it’s time for the UR-101 to be resurrected… but this usually rather stylish high quality replica watches has undergone a metamorphosis to become the latest member of the bold, expressive T-Rex family.

Along with the 102, the Urwerk UR-101 is the one that started it all, and one of the founding watches of the new independent watchmaking world – Urwerk, De Bethune, MB&F, etc. The UR-101 has it all: a sci-fi, unprecedented design designed by Martin Frei to resemble either a satellite or the Millennium Falcon (pick your favorite inspiration), mechanically conceptualized by Felix Baumgartner, displaying a Campanis-based clock with wandering hours and minutes on the arches. The first UR-101 was launched in 1997 at the AHCI space at Baselworld, with an asymmetrical 38mm yellow gold case, with the top lugs hidden beneath the case, two traditional lugs on the bottom, and, at the time, a traditional crown at 3 o’clock.

With the UR-102 relaunched a few years ago, it’s time for the brand to resurrect the UR-101… but not just a one-to-one remake, but a revisited version, modernized, and now mostly part of the T-Rex collection – meaning a bronze case and guilloché texture reminiscent of angry dinosaur scales. Urwerk’s T-Rex concept has appeared twice in the past, with the UR-105 T-Rex in 2016 and the UR-100V T-Rex in 2021. replica HYT H1 watches

The UR-101 returns bolder and more expressive than ever, with a “bronze carapace, a raw presence, and a raw touch” in the words of the founder. But it’s not just about the T. Rex side. There’s more to this new version. The most striking element, of course, is the bronze hand-painted case covered in a textured skin, a layer of scaly armor covering its bezel, sides, and lugs. This guilloché is a technique usually reserved for dials, and here, when touched, brings out the raw essence of the watch. The engraved grooves start at the crown and run along the entire case at a low slope to the steeply curved slope leading to the caseback.

In fact, one of the main improvements of this Urwerk UR-101 replica is the repositioning of the crown to 3 o’clock, a feature of most replica luxury watches from the brand. Another improvement concerns the proportions, as the case has been slightly enlarged and is now 41 mm in diameter and 11.86 mm thick – but thanks to the larger curvature of the back and the shorter lugs, it should still be a fairly compact watch. The back is black PVD-coated steel and has a water-resistance rating of 30 meters. There is also a new pull system on the back for easier access to the crown.

Like its predecessor, the new UR-101 T-Rex Edition features the classic wandering hour complication with two satellites (each with 6 hour markers), a 180-degree minute display, and a solid snailed wheel that transmits the current hour on a minute track before the next hour appears on the left. Here it is discreetly displayed behind a domed sapphire crystal, complete with a black background and bright luminous numerals. swiss replica watches

Under the solid caseback is the new UR-1.01V movement, based on a modern Vaucher automatic movement with a classic timepiece on top, produced in-house. The watch is presented on a black rubber strap with a textile effect and black calfskin lining, secured with a black DLC-treated steel pin buckle.

Watches & Wonders 2024: The Best New Arrivals

zelin0802

From Rolex to TAG Heuer, here are the brands that caught our eye at Watches & Wonders 2024.

It’s the most prestigious event in the horologist’s calendar – and for an industry centered around timekeeping, you certainly can’t miss Watches & Wonders 2024. replica watches

Although Watches & Wonders Geneva 2024 only opened to industry professionals, journalists and VIPs on Tuesday morning, it’s proving to be an exciting event. With 54 of the industry’s biggest names set to attend, eight of whom are making their first trip to the Swiss capital, Watches & Wonders is set to be the biggest yet.

The professional show will run until April 13, with public access for three days until April 15, with each brand showcasing exciting watches expected to be launched next year.

Rolex
There’s a reason why Rolex is the most eye-catching exhibit at Watches & Wonders year after year, and the legendary watchmaker proved it at this year’s presentation. Among the many new releases, Rolex released six new replica watches for sale, including a more casual GMT-Master II, a dressier Daytonas, and an all-gold Deepsea.

It should have been hard to pick just one to showcase: until we discovered the Perpetual 1908. A new addition to the collection introduced last year, the Perpetual 1908 is crafted in 950 platinum and features a striking ice blue dial with a guilloché rice grain pattern.

Patek Philippe

Blue seems to be going strong in 2024, and Patek Philippe has done well, so it’s no wonder that this year’s collection has seen some modest tweaks to its timeless classics. Perhaps the most notable change comes with the Patek Philippe Ref. 5980 60G Aquanaut Flyback Chronograph, which comes with an ultra-casual denim strap. Don’t expect the strap to fray like the crotch of cheap jeans, though. Hand-woven denim is attached to premium calfskin, so you won’t be back at the studio any time soon.

The blue-grey dial pairs perfectly with the strap, while the white gold case makes this a supremely quiet luxury timepiece.

Hermès
When Hermès unveiled the H08 in 2021, the brand nonchalantly described it as a sports watch, despite looking like one. But that won’t be the case at Watches & Wonders 2024. Instead, the brand will unveil a new range of sports watches, powered by mechanical movements and aimed at women.

The name “Cut” for this 36mm model comes from the polished slices on the side of the case, reflecting the brand’s love of minimalist and strong design. best replica watch site

The Hermès Cut is available in pure steel or an elegant two-tone mix of steel and rose gold, and is also available with 56 diamonds for an added touch of luxury.

In keeping with Hermès’ usual versatility, wearers can personalize their watch on a daily basis, with the choice of a metal bracelet or other rubber strap, in eight signature Hermès colors.

Zenith
The much-anticipated release of the latest iteration of its Defy Skyline collection for 2021 has been unveiled by Zenith with the launch of the Defy Skyline Chronograph. Bringing an edgier, more modern aesthetic to the original case design, the new watch features a 41mm stainless steel case in the iconic octagonal shape with a faceted bezel.

While the dial colors are available in metallic black, metallic blue, or metallic silver, the collection’s signature starry sky pattern dial and four-pointed star engraving remain. So too does the traditional El Primero dial configuration, with three oversized overlapping counters at 9, 3, and 6 o’clock.

The watch features the El Primero 3600 1/10 second chronograph movement with a silicon escape wheel and a 60-hour power reserve. knock off watches

Vacheron Constantin

Vacheron Constantin unveils the world’s most complicated watch, a record previously held by the brand itself. The Berkley Grand Complication is a pocket watch that contains 63 horological complications and 2,877 parts, including, among other records, the world’s first Chinese perpetual calendar.

Due to the complexity of the Chinese perpetual calendar (months and years are of different lengths), the watch took 11 years to develop, including one year to assemble the 2,877 hand-finished and hand-assembled parts. The finished watch, made of 18K white gold with a dial on each side of the case, weighs just over two pounds (0.96 kg).

Van Cleef & Arpels
Van Cleef & Arpels never fails to showcase the latest creations in its Poetic Complications collection. The Lady Arpels Brise d’Été celebrates the freshness of a summer morning and at first glance resembles an enchanting scene of summer flowers and butterflies, with a 38 mm diameter case that packs a majestic presence.

The automatic on-demand movement also animates the dial, with two openwork enamel butterflies flying across it at the touch of a button, while blue Walloon enamel flowers sway in the background as if blown by the wind. Diamonds, tsavorite garnets, spessartites and white mother-of-pearl set in 18K white gold add to the allure.

TAG Heuer Monaco
To mark the 55th anniversary of the Monaco, TAG Heuer unveils the Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph. The signature feature of this new watch is the split-seconds chronograph, which can time two events that start simultaneously but end independently – useful, for example, in a car race.

The split-seconds hand and titanium dial arch pay homage to the 1969 original, while the two colours offered – Sporty Red and Classic Blue – are inspired by the original colours of the Monaco chronograph.

Panerai
Swiss watchmaking may have dominated the exhibits at this year’s Watches & Wonders, but luxury watchmaker Panerai is proudly putting Italian excellence in the spotlight with its new Luna Rossa collection. In honour of and indicative of the brand’s long-standing partnership with the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli sailing team, Panerai’s new collection incorporates cutting-edge technology and embodies the performance of this elite and revered sport.

The Submersible Tourbillon GMT Luna Rossa Experience – PAM01405 is a beast of a watch in its own right. Equipped with a four-day power reserve, it can submerge to 980 feet.

Chopard
Chopard puts its artistic prowess on full display with the 18-carat white gold Imperiale. Refined and luxurious, this watch measures 36mm in diameter and features a diamond-studded dial with diamonds, sapphires and mother-of-pearl.

The vivid turquoise enamel serves as the perfect dark background against which the floral motif in turquoise and white enamel is embellished. Of course, looks aren’t everything, as the Imperiale is driven by a self-winding micro-rotor movement with twin barrels that provide a 65-hour power reserve. buying replica watch

Ulysse Nardin
The latest from Ulysse Nardin, the Freak S Nomad, is both unconventional and conventional in many ways, a bit of a paradox. Limited to 99 pieces, this limited edition watch is eye-catching with its unique movement that at first glance evokes a fantasy spaceship, but a quick glance at its technical details reveals that this is a representation of haute horlogerie.

Like its previous Freaks, the S Nomad still has no dial, hands or crown, but instead reveals the three-dimensional charm of the UN-251 movement behind a sapphire crystal. The result is a whirlwind combination of 18th- and 21st-century watchmaking techniques, fused in one singular machine.

Sporty: Panerai Submersible QuarantaQuattro eSteel

zelin0802

The Panerai Submersible QuarantaQuattro eSteel, launched in 2022, is a rugged companion for sports and everyday life. It is distinguished by the use of recycled materials and a new dial with a gradient from grey to black. replica watches for sale

Today, everyone is talking about sustainability. And for good reason, as both manufacturers and customers are increasingly committed to this goal. Of course, a watch is a very small product. A strap made of plastic recovered from the ocean and a case made of recycled metal may contribute less to the overall picture than using environmentally friendly fuels or recycled plastic from the construction industry.

But one aspect cannot be ignored: watches are emotional products, and their manufacturers are internationally renowned brands that often attract a large number of fans. When a watch manufacturer prioritizes environmental protection and sustainability, this message can reach a large number of people. Ideally, the brand raises awareness of issues that affect all of us.

For example, Panerai recently started using cases made of recycled metal. The limited edition Submersible Mike Horn Edition PAM00984 launched in 2019 was made of eco-titanium, and the Submersible eLab-ID PAM01225 launched in 2021 continues this practice, with eco-titanium and other recycled materials accounting for 98.6% of the total weight of the watch. In addition to this concept watch, Panerai also launched its first best replica watches made of eSteel in 2021. Although they contain less recycled materials, they are available in more models and in larger quantities.

The Submersible QuarantaQuattro eSteel PAM01288 watch we tested in this test has recycled materials accounting for at least 53% of its weight. Panerai achieved this ratio by recycling stainless steel for the case and recycled PET for the strap. Recycled steel is mixed with traditional stainless steel to make eSteel, and its raw materials come from the watchmaking industry and other industries. Panerai says that using eSteel can significantly reduce CO2 emissions during the production of the watch cases.

At Panerai, efforts to achieve sustainable production methods are combined with other sustainability efforts. For example, since 2012, the brand has been a certified member of the Responsible Jewellery Council, a standardisation organisation for the jewellery and watch industry focused on corporate ethics and responsible supply chains. Panerai also organises plastic collection days and supports the Imibala Trust, which works with South African schoolchildren from poor families, as well as various organisations recommended by Panerai employees.

Each watch fan must decide for himself how important these corporate sustainability approaches are and how much they will influence his purchasing decisions. But what is objectively certain is the style advantage of the watch we tested. Its dial, a new addition to the Submersible collection, features a beautiful colour gradient that transitions from grey at 12 o’clock to black at 6 o’clock. Together with the first polished ceramic bezel, this discount replica watches combines sportiness with elegance.

Another new feature is the 44 mm diameter, which is also the origin of the Italian name of this model. The new size fills the gap between the 42mm and 47mm Submersibles. At 13.3mm thick, the watch not only fits in as a striking sports watch, but also guarantees good proportions and a comfortable wearing experience.

The Caliber P.900 is of moderate size and has a power reserve of 3 days. Panerai introduced this automatic movement in its ultra-thin Luminor Due series in 2019, later used it in the 42mm Submersible and now also in the new 44mm version. With a diameter of only 28.2mm and a thickness of only 4.2mm, the P.900 movement is very slim.

The P.900 movement was designed by Manufacture Horlogère ValFleurier, which, like Panerai, belongs to the luxury group Richemont. Horlogère ValFleurier was founded in 2005 in Val-de-Travers to develop and produce selected movements for various brands under the Richemont Group. The P.900 movement is based on a movement that is also supplied to other members of the group. For example, IWC uses it for the 32110/32111 movements and Baume & Mercier uses it for the Baumatic. Panerai’s version has the same long-lasting 3-day power reserve, but without the stop-seconds function for precise time setting and the elaborate surface decoration. In addition, on the model we tested, the minute hand jumps back by about 2 minutes when the crown is pulled out.

A very simple mechanism is installed to finely adjust the rate. The effective length of the hairspring can be changed by manually moving the position of the hairspring key. Our rate tests thus found mixed results. The electronic Witschi Timegrapher found that our test review replica watches ran too slow, losing 4.5 seconds per day, but the maximum difference between the various positions was a reasonable 8 seconds per day.

The closed caseback is acceptable given the simplicity of the movement behind it. Panerai has engraved SLC on the caseback, siluro a lenta corsa, or “slow torpedo” in English. The Italian Navy developed the SLC in 1935 as a manned torpedo and used it primarily in sabotage missions against enemy ships during World War II.

The solid, fully threaded caseback gives off a rugged impression, as does the patented crown guard, which has a lever that must be opened before the crown can be pulled out to set the time. This hinged component has been around since the late 1940s, long before Panerai’s history as a maker of watches for naval frogmen. This system is no more sealed against the winding pushbutton than a screw-down crown, but it has the advantage that the open lever immediately catches your eye, so you don’t jump into the water with the crown pulled out. There is a rubber ring around the crown to make it easier to pull out and turn the pushbutton. After that, you can push the crown firmly into the case by turning the lever, which on watches made from this environmentally friendly alloy is engraved with the name “eSteel”.

The functional advantages of the special crown guard are undeniable. But more importantly, the rotating lever gives Panerai replica watches for men a distinctive look. Combined with the cushion-shaped case and sandwich-style dial used on many models, the distinctive stem ensures that a Panerai (Luminor) is instantly recognisable even from a distance.

However, the Submersible model does not feature the traditional sandwich-style dial, which is one of Panerai’s three defining characteristics. Instead, it has applied hour markers that, like the hands and hour markers, are filled with a large amount of luminous material. Most of the indicators glow with Panerai’s characteristic Super-Lumi-Nova green, but the minute hand and the dot at 12 o’clock on the bezel glow blue. This luminescence makes it easy to read the time at night or underwater. However, while the time is clearly legible, the bezel remains dark except for the large circular zero point and has only individual minute markings for the first quarter of an hour.

When you wear a Panerai Submersible, you don’t have to give up your luxury watch if daily life gets a little tough. Its ruggedness is ensured by the scratch resistance of its sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel, the pressure resistance of the case up to 30 bar, and the two durable straps. One of the straps is made of recycled PET with a lining and perforated leather reinforcement. If you decide to wear this watch while swimming, you should replace the PET strap with the additional rubber strap that comes with the watch. Each strap can be easily removed using the special tool that comes with the watch by pressing the latch under the strap lug until two very sturdy bars slide out of the metal sleeves sewn into the strap.

This sturdy and easy-to-use system also protects the watch from scratches, which would be a threat if you use the strap-changing tool to open traditional spring bars. The only downside is that Panerai only comes with a large pin buckle, so it must be removed separately and attached to the new strap with a screwdriver, which is also included.

After taking a closer look at our test watch, we can summarize its pros and cons. First, the pros: This watch looks good, runs for up to three days, is comfortable to wear, easy to read, and embodies Panerai’s sustainable development concept, which is in line with today’s spirit. But it deserves criticism because of its relatively plain movement and the less than perfect satin finishing of the case above the strap lugs. replica richard mille rm 027 watches

Bulgari launches new Octo Roma watch in black DLC steel

zelin0802

Bulgari has expanded its Octo Roma collection with the addition of the Octo Roma Automatic Black DLC 103927 and the Octo Roma Chronograph Black DLC 103932. These two new models feature a black DLC stainless steel case, a black dial and a black The rubber strap shows bold yet individual charm. Elegant appearance. luxury replica watches

DLC stands for diamond-like carbon, a high-performance coating that gives the watch a unique dark surface finish while enhancing its resistance to scratches and corrosion.

Inspired by architecture, the Octo Roma features an octagonal case with a round bezel. Geometric shapes and surface textures are designed to accentuate its dynamic lines.

The dials of the automatic and chronograph are highly legible and decorated with delicate Paris hobnail decoration, forming a series of small pyramids. The hour and minute hands as well as the hour markers and Arabic numerals are treated with Super-LumiNova. high quality replica watches

The crown is integrated into the case and protected by a crown guard, which is decorated with a black ceramic insert and screwed down to ensure water resistance up to 10 bar (equivalent to a depth of 100 meters / 330 feet).

Octo Roma Automatic Black DLC 103927 is a three-hand watch with date function. The black dial looks uniform from a distance, but when you get closer, you’ll find that each pyramid-shaped hobnail pattern captures light at its own unique angle, creating a fascinating effect of light and shadow.

The 41 mm x 9.15 mm case is powered by the in-house caliber BVL 191, which operates at 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) and offers a 42-hour power reserve. The Côtes de Genève pattern and chamfered decoration can be admired through the transparent case back. richard mille sapphire watch replica

The Octo Roma Black Chronograph DLC 103932 has a slightly larger case (42 mm x 12.4 mm), and the two pushers are perfectly integrated into the case and pass directly through the lugs.

The dial has a three-eye layout with three snail-shaped subdials: a 30-minute counter at 9 o’clock, a 12-hour counter at 6 o’clock, and a running seconds counter at 3 o’clock. There is a concealed date window at 4:30.

The in-house self-winding movement BVL 399 beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), provides 42 hours of autonomous power, and is decorated with a Côtes de Genève pattern and bevelling. Breitling replica Watches

These models feature an interchangeable strap system in the form of a push-button mounted on the back of the case, between the lugs and integrated into the main body of the case. The system is particularly secure and requires no special tools; the strap can be changed or removed in seconds with just a tap.

The watch is equipped with two straps: a black rubber strap that complements the watch and is decorated with a “Clous de Paris” pattern that complements the dial decoration; the other black alligator leather strap highlights the elegance of the watch. They secure around the wrist with a pin buckle made of black DLC steel. replica Patek Philippe watches

The classic left-handed Rolex Sprite – is it worth the hype?

zelin0802

The choice of colors and materials reflects not only aesthetic appeal but also Rolex’s commitment to exclusivity and functionality.

With features like a second time zone setting and approximately 70 hours of power reserve, the Rolex Sprite is designed for the globetrotter who refuses to compromise on punctuality or style. fake watches for sale

But what really makes the GMT-Master II shine, especially when the lights are out, is its highly visible Chromalight display.

Bulgari celebrates 140th anniversary with new Octo Finissimo automatic sketch dial

zelin0802

Bulgari celebrates 140th anniversary with new Octo Finissimo automatic sketch dial The cool “sketch dial” concept is back, this time revealing the mechanics beneath the dial. wholesale watches replica

Launched over a decade ago (how time flies…), Bulgari’s Octo Finissimo collection has become one of the most successful legends in recent watchmaking history. These watches not only broke slim records one after another, but also redefined the concept of ultra-thin watches with modern design and casual wear. To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the collection, Bulgari has released a pair of cool models with sketch dials. One of the most popular models in the collection, the Octo Finissimo Automatic Sketch Dial returns to celebrate the brand’s 140th anniversary.

Bulgari was founded in Rome in 1884 by Greek silversmith Sotirio Bulgari, where the brand remains headquartered. As one of the most prolific watchmaker/jewellers in the industry, the brand is known for its bold designs such as the time-honored and iconic Serpenti – watches and jewelry. Bulgari’s watchmaking craftsmanship combines the Italian “Sweet Life” (Dolce Vita) style with the seriousness of true Swiss manufacturing. In recent years, with the launch of a number of high-complexity watches, it has become more and more sophisticated. The more important… But mainly the Octo Finissimo, which is one of the most important watches. Iconic creations over the past decade have propelled the brand’s development in the watch industry.

On the occasion of the brand’s 140th anniversary, Bulgari has chosen the Octo Finissimo Automatic, a second generation watch with improved case and specifications, as the basis for two limited edition watches. Important is the return of the “Sketch Dial” concept, first launched in 2022 to mark the tenth anniversary of the collection and as a tribute to its designer Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani. Today, these two watches are highly sought after, available in both automatic and chronograph versions, paying homage to the dial design. The Octo Finissimo Automatic 140th Anniversary Edition once again features a hand-painted dial, but this time revealing the mechanics beneath the dial. patek philippe nautilus

Let’s talk about the basics first. Not surprisingly, we have the classic Octo Finissimo Automatic Watch MK2 version. This means that the watch is made of stainless steel or 18k rose gold, with satin and polished facets (not the original sandblasted style at launch), and the case has been improved to be more user-friendly, with comfortable 100m water resistance and screw-down Crown. This evolution comes at the expense of thickness, which is now 6.40mm instead of the original 5.15mm. Despite this, the Octo Finissimo Automatic watch is still one of the thinnest automatic watches on the market. The 40mm diameter and overall design are now mature.

As mentioned before, Bulgari offers a choice between classic stainless steel and luxurious 18K rose gold with a matching bracelet. These slim bracelets come in equally satin and polished finishes and close with a hidden butterfly clasp. The sapphire crystal case back reveals the in-house caliber BVL138, an ultra-thin automatic movement (just 2.23 mm tall) wound by a platinum micro-rotor that, despite its thinness, boasts a comfortable 60-hour power reserve. The watch is larger in size, with most parts exposed on the horizontal plane, and is decorated with Côtes de Genève stripes, circular textures and beveled bridges. The crystal is specially engraved with the words “Editizione Limitata” and “1884-2024”, as well as the limited edition of the watch. replica richard mille watch

However, this is not the only side of the watch where the movement is visible… The new sketch dial of this Octo Finissimo Automatic 140th Anniversary Edition pays homage to the mechanism. The sandblasted base dial is colored to match the material of the case and features a hand drawing by Buonamassa Stigliani, his first sketch for the BVL138 movement. Of course, this isn’t for everyone and is definitely an acquired taste, but it adds a human, fun touch to a fairly serious watch. For contrast, the hands are black PVD-coated and satin-finished – although the small seconds at 7 o’clock is barely visible. best fake watches

Urwerk UR-100V LightSpeed features unprecedented space-themed display

zelin0802

Traveling at the speed of light, Urwerk’s latest model shows how long it takes for the sun’s rays to reach the eight planets in our solar system.

In a world filled with change and upheaval, numbers can provide reassurance. The speed of light is a constant and finite number, a value used to measure distances with extraordinary accuracy. Urwerk’s latest study of the UR-100V centers on the speed of light, or rather, the time it takes for the sun’s rays to reach eight planets. Of course, traveling at the speed of light requires a special ship, and the UR-100V has markings on its hull to indicate planets and the time it takes to receive the first rays of sunlight. The new UR-100V LightSpeed still gives us the hours and minutes here on Earth by spinning satellites, giving us a clearer picture of our relationship to other planets in the universe and our proximity to the sun.

The first UR-100 models proposed a journey through time and space, utilizing the minute hand on the hour satellite to display the Earth’s rotation and Earth’s revolution around the Sun over a 20-minute time frame. Launched in 2019, the UR-100’s astronomical indications may not be the most useful reference for Earthlings, but it fits co-founders Martin Frei and Felix Baumgartner’s mission to introduce another dimension to time. Made from high-tech materials with different names – SpaceTime, Electrum, Full Titanium Jacket, Ultraviolet, Magic T – the new UR-100V LightSpeed combines time, space and light.

The UR-100V LightSpeed rotates around the constant speed of light, which has a numerical value of 299,792.458 km/s and is symbolically represented by the letter “c”. According to Martin Frei, the UR-100V LightSpeed is like wearing “a part of the universe on your wrist,” with a planetarium containing eight celestial bodies and the time it takes for the sun’s rays to reach each planet. For example, the sun’s rays take 8.3 minutes to reach Earth and 4.1 hours to reach Neptune.

Unlike the distances reported in earlier versions, these comparisons give us a clearer idea of our place in the universe. The UR-100V LightSpeed replaces the previous indications posted at the 10 and 2 o’clock positions, instead engraved with the names of the eight planets and the time it takes for the sun’s rays to reach them.

Hovering above the hovering hour mechanism is a new skeleton-domed black structure, conveying this message on two levels with a green indicator of the time and a white indicator of the planet. The outer disk is stamped with Mercury 3.2 minutes, Venus 6 minutes, Mars 12.6 minutes, Jupiter 43.2 minutes, Saturn 79.3 minutes, Earth 8.3 minutes, Uranus 159.6 minutes, and Neptune 4.1 hours.

Far from being a static indication of different times, there is another novelty. You can see little blue and green hands indicating different planets popping up in the cutout areas of the new dome structure. To perform this task, the hands are attached to one of three carrousel arms and complete a full circle around the dial in three hours. Once it reaches Saturn at 3 o’clock, it descends below the minute orbit and reappears on Uranus at 9 o’clock. where to watch moon

As with the display on other Urwerk models, the hours are indicated by three rotating satellites, complete with a red arrow minute hand that follows a 120-degree arc and is graduated from 0 to 60. For improved legibility, the hours and minutes are treated with blue-emitting Super-LumiNova.

The case remains true to the design of the earlier model, with its mid-day screw-down crown, but has new dimensions and is water-resistant to 50 meters. The watch has a diameter of 43mm, a length of 51.63mm and a thickness of 14.5mm. The case is made from 54 layers of ThinPly black carbon with a slightly mottled, matte finish, and the case back is DLC-treated titanium that has been sandblasted and sandblasted. Taking into account the protagonist role of the sun, the rotor is star-shaped.

The back of the watch showcases the caliber 12.02 automatic movement. The fully star-shaped rotor at the back is drilled and controlled by a profiled air screw called a Windfänger, which is used to minimize shock and reduce wear. The carrousel and triple base plate are crafted from ARCAP, an alloy that contains no iron and is non-magnetic. The automatic base movement is manufactured by Vaucher, has a vibration frequency of 28,800vph and a power reserve of 48 hours. replica watch for sale

URWERK UR-230 Eagle

zelin0802

URWERK’s UR-230 Eagle takes off again.

The UR-200 series soars to new heights: variable geometry twin turbines, twin shock absorbers, hybrid winding system. The UR-7.30 movement expands the wings of URWERK’s mechanical possibilities. This UR-230 “Eagle” also features physical changes, including the development of a CTP carbon fiber shell with a removable cover. Add to that the aerodynamic lines, streamlined silhouette and Raptor dimensions.
The UR-230 “Hawk” is a highly sophisticated and highly desirable animal.

The URWERK 200 series is constantly being expanded. The latest addition is the UR-230 “Eagle”. This model is known for its appearance, design and mechanics. The latest addition to the URWERK series of satellite display watches features traveling hours and retrograde minutes, thanks to engine upgrades and high-tech modifications: “Ten years have passed since the success of the UR-220, and we wanted to create a URWERK Master watchmaker and co-founder Felix Baumgartner explains: The UR-230 “Eagle” focuses on performance. URWERK’s iconic turbine has been further improved. Today we launch a model whose robustness has been enhanced by technology.”

Compared to the UR-220, the new UR-230 “Eagle” retains the display concept. It is a sophisticated version of the Roaming Satellite Hour, one of URWERK’s basic symbols. On the three-arm carousel, the four-sided rotating block bears hour markers. They roll along a 120-degree fan, with the current hour side facing the observer. To display the minutes, these display cubes are embedded in aluminum 3D retrograde hands. At the end of the 60-minute strike, the skeletonized hand returns to index 0, taking over the display of the next hour’s cube. Martin Frei, Art Director and Co-Founder of URWERK, commented: “We are proud to introduce the UR-230, the latest member of our iconic 200 series, which was launched in 2006-2007 with the UR-201 “Hammerhead” .Since then, our relentless pursuit of innovation has led us to rethink the collection while retaining its energy and power. We have evolved the concept of Predator Elegance, but in a different way. We created “Maltese Falcon” and “Peregrine”, these two watches are like birds of prey, with powerful retrograde systems. Today, we introduce the UR-230 “Eagle”. This new UR-230 is made of finely laminated carbon Intricate half-Savonette case (with protective cover). The UR-230 is lightweight yet strong. It is worthy of the title of King of the Air. wholesale replica watches

dynamic braking

In addition to the time display, the UR-230 “Eagle” also adds new functions. URWERK has developed a world-first set of shock absorbers designed to protect the new UR-7.30 movement. through the turbine. The first set of turbines is specifically designed to attenuate the effects of any external impact, ensuring the watch’s sturdiness and durability. The second group controls the air flow supplied to the winding system. The strength of this “air brake” is designed to adjust the winding power according to the wearer’s activity level, and is set via a knob on the same back.

A second switch opposite the first allows the rotor to be completely disconnected. The UR-230 “Eagle” then switches to manual winding mode. The degree of adjustment of these two functions is indicated by two symmetrical indicators under the CTP carbon cover, located at 11 o’clock and 1 o’clock respectively.

heart and body

The UR-230 “Eagle” in the UR-200 series retains the shape of the watch case. Trapezoidal shape, elongated significantly towards 6 o’clock, staggered layout around the sapphire window, crown at 12 o’clock, careful management of markings and soft angles: the UR-230 “Eagle” demonstrates its essential URWERK essence . Its outer shell is once again made of the material with the best weight/stiffness/graphics effect ratio: CTP carbon. richard mille rm 11-03 mclaren

The carbon, which is black, lightweight and hard, is made from stacked layers and bonded under high temperatures and pressures. The resulting block is then processed into blocks, following a pattern that displays the layers in a regular, controlled geometric pattern. The base is made of black DLC titanium and has grooves for perfect skin compatibility. Inside the case, the UR-230 “Eagle” encapsulates its UR-7.30 caliber in a sealed container like a safe.

beak and clip

The cover of the UR-230 Eagle can be raised 90 degrees to expose the entire satellite system. The cover is designed to protect the sapphire crystal. “We created one anti-shock system for the movement and another anti-shock system for the sapphire crystal,” explains Felix Baumgartner. This kind of cover brings a series of technical difficulties to the drawing adjustment and connection between the cover and the case. Its integrated braking system has also been tested and tuned to complete satisfaction. The UR-230’s hood makes a pleasant “click” sound when it closes. The lid is also made from CTP carbon blended with titanium. Beaked edge provides finger grip for lifting. Once reinstalled, the brake slows its stroke so that it rests gently on the sapphire crystal. Then clip it into place. Like an eagle, catching prey in flight with its talons, quietly and eerily precise. fake luxury quartz watches

IWC revives the Big Pilot’s Watch with tourbillon Markus Bühler

zelin0802

An upgraded version of the “Turbine” pilot’s replica watches uk.

One of the least-known but perhaps most interesting iterations of IWC’s iconic oversized pilot’s watch is making a comeback, but with an upgraded movement and precious metal case. The Markus Bühler Big Pilot’s Watch 43 Tourbillon retains key elements of the original 2008 watch of the same name, but houses a self-winding tourbillon movement in a platinum case. The tourbillon flies while its cage takes the form of turbine blades.

The original model was conceived by a young Markus Bühler during the IWC Apprentice Competition, a simple concept that spoke volumes about the Big Pilot’s Watch’s historical roots, yet was attractive enough for IWC to produce it in limited quantities. A dozen. Mr. Bühler deservedly won this competition and now oversees the entire assembly process at the Manufakturzentrum, the IWC factory responsible for the production of parts and the assembly of the in-house movements. Powered by internal cal. 82905, the Markus Bühler tourbillon is naturally assembled in the Manufakturzentrum.

The original Markus Bühler was very interesting and attractive because it captured the spirit of pilot watches in a novel way while still retaining the functional aesthetic expected of such a fake watches for sale. The turbo seconds hand is a simple modification that works perfectly both visually and conceptually.

Now the idea has been brought back, but in fancier packaging. The new Marcus Bühler still makes sense – the turbine tourbillon is attractive and also functions as a regulator – but it’s no surprise that it’s expensive. At the same time, the upgrade of the watch means that some of the simple functions of the original watch have been lost, which is not surprising since the IWC Pilot’s Watch is a functional luxury watch rather than a true instrument.

Also worth noting is the reduction in case size. The 43mm Markus Bühler Tourbillon is certainly more wear-resistant than the 46mm original, and despite the weight of the platinum case, it may lack the presence of the original, which was indeed a large pilot’s watch, probably too big, but its The design is very reasonable. My own way.

rotating turbine
Not surprisingly for an apprenticeship, the original Big Pilot Markus Bühler was an unpretentious watch. It’s powered by a modified Unitas movement, a low-cost movement common in many oversized watches, including Panerai’s entry-level models. The new Marcus Bueller Tourbillon, on the other hand, is a very luxurious and complex buy replicas watch with a platinum case and an in-house movement.

The Marcus Bühler Tourbillon is significantly smaller than the original, with a 43mm platinum case and a height of 14.6mm. Its dimensions are almost identical to the regular production Big Pilot’s Watch 43, but the height is increased by 0.2 mm due to the tourbillon. Despite its reduced size, the Marcus Bühler Tourbillon will still be a chunky watch due to the material of the case.

The dial has also become more refined. The dial no longer has the original matte finish, but instead has a glossy black lacquer finish. Although the design remains similar, the dial now features the standard circular font of the pilot watch series.

The all-important turbine remains at six o’clock. Like the original, it makes one revolution per minute. But instead of a seconds hand, it’s the turbine blades that are the upper cage of the flying tourbillon in the Cal.1. 82905.

calibration. The 82905 is a new movement, but based on the workhorse Caliber 82905. The 82000 series is widely used in a range of IWC models, from the chronograph Portugieser Automatic 40 to the Portofino Perpetual Calendar. In other words, calibrate. 82905 is essentially a cal. 82000 is equipped with a flying tourbillon.

Mechanically speaking, adding a tourbillon is fairly simple, as the balance wheel is located at six o’clock on the base movement. In addition, IWC already has a compact flying tourbillon structure that dates back to the early 1990s. replica swiss watches

However, the specific construction of the flying tourbillon is interesting. The upper cage of a tourbillon is a turbine blade, which also acts as a regulator index, as the hairspring is attached to the underside of one of the blades, allowing the watchmaker to adjust the hairspring by turning the turbine.

Another distinctive feature of the movement is the escapement component, which has a silicone coating of artificial diamond (“Diamond Shell” technology in IWC terminology). As a result, the pallet fork and escapement wheel operate more efficiently due to lower friction and lighter weight. While diamond-coated silicon components are not new—Ulysse Nardin first used the technology more than a decade ago—they are novel to IWC and its Richemont sister companies. patek philippe grandmaster chime

Skeleton watches add fun to reading time RICHARD MILLE, Zenith play with colors

zelin0802

The watch is like a miniature art. The hollow design of the dial and the delicate color decoration add to the fun of reading. RICHARD MILLE launched a new RM 30-01 clutch rotor self-winding watch, equipped with a brand-new RMAR2 movement. The structural oscillating weight will automatically separate from the winding mechanism; on the contrary, when the power reserve is less than 40 hours, the oscillating weight will automatically re-engage, so that the barrel can be wound again, which is an easy-to-use complex mechanical device. The details can be seen through red, blue, and white painting on the scale and pointer, which makes reading clearer and enhances the appreciation value. There are two materials: 5N red gold version and grade 5 titanium alloy. The latter weighs only 96 grams including the strap, allowing the wearer to feel extremely comfortable.

On the dial of the RICHARD MILLE RM 30-01 clutch oscillating weight self-winding watch, bright saturated colors such as red and blue are used to make the function indications clearer.

ZENITH also launched new works. The new DEFY 21 Chroma II colorful watch is an evolution of the first-generation DEFY 21 Chroma in 2022. There are white and black ceramic models. The two new watches have different color configurations, and the black ceramic model The color is bright and even, and the white ceramic model has blue and pink as the main bright details. From the hour markers to the 1/100 second scale on the outer edge of the dial, the hollow movement structure, and even the rubber clip ring of the crown and the sewing thread of the cordura-effect rubber strap, etc., all create exquisite and smooth color decorations. Equipped with a uniquely structured El Primero 21 1/100 second high-vibration self-winding chronograph movement, it creates a precise timing function.
