REVIEW PORSCHE DESIGN 1919 GLOBETIMER UTC

 




Porsche Design 1919 Globetimer UTC swiss replica watches : The world can be your oyster


 


There is layout, and there is Porsche Design. The previous is design in general, while latter is a unique design terminology.


Porsche Design began with iconic autos, but in the world of watches, Porsche is also a name with an illustrious history. The reason can be summed up in two words: timeless innovator.


Let me start with the last word, innovator. Porsche Design was founded in 1972 by simply Professor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche with the goal of making use of his designs to regions beyond automobiles. The first see he designed was the Chrono I, which combined the matte black dial which has a matte black case as well as bracelet.


When fairly common today, this kind of monochromatic color scheme ended up being uncommon at the time, especially for extravagance goods. swiss replica watches


In 1980, Porsche joined with IWC to introduction a new chronograph, giving Porsche the world’s first ti cased watch. Interestingly, nearly all of the Porsche Design brand’s watches from this collection nonetheless look brand new and modern-day today, despite many of them currently being over 30 years old.


Titanium is a lifestyle plus its also synonymous with the Porsche Design 1919 Globetimer UTC watch


Right now, all Porsche Design designer watches are made with titanium cases, for the reason that grey hue of this material fits in well with the techie design, and it is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, hypoallergenic and comfortable to wear.


As the name recommends, the 1919 Globetimer UTC is a world time watch, any category of watches with which Porsche Design has extensive expertise, having first collaborated along with IWC in the 1990s to generate a world time watch with an burglar alarm function. replica Patek Philippe Cubitus watches


In 2008, Porsche Design took the latest step and launched a journey time watch that allows time zones to become switched at the touch of any button. This concept has now also been further refined and is one of the many factors that makes the 1919 Globetimer UTC such a enchanting timepiece.


To visit or not to travel is not an issue

This may come as an unexpected to some, but watch journalists like me spend a lot of your energy travelling, often from one country to another. Therefore , watches together with additional time zones are particularly effectively tested.


Several dual time zone watches seldom work as well as you would like them to, as if we were holding designed by someone who never journeys. Some watches emphasize that you may “conveniently” change time zones with the crown, but what they don’t show you is that doing so will also ruin the current setting for the various other time zone, which will then should be corrected again. replica Jacob & Co Casino Tourbillon


Others will solve this concern with a corrector on the side of the watch case, but once you take off you are getting to realize you didn’t take anything with you to push typically the corrector, so you start looking for the toothpick, a fine-liner, or possibly a safety pin.


Porsche Design’s approach concept: the brand’s engineers extra two buttons to the side of the watch case, the upper one to advance the actual time zone in one-hour batches, and the lower one to move forward the time zone in one-hour increments.


Short minutes and seconds remain unaffected, so they’re very exact, and the date changes quickly as the time zone changes. The actual 1919 Globetimer UTC possibly features a day/night indicator, apparent through a small opening from the dial.


Porsche Design is known for the fantastic dial legibility of their watches, and the Globetimer UTC doesn’t disappoint, with all the clues visible at a glance.


As part of the Porsche Design 1919 collection, the “frame” lugs are shaped to increase donning comfort. The lightweight ti case also adds to the ease and comfort. replica Urwerk Watches


With a height of 42mm, which consumes almost the entire dial, often the 1919 Globetimer UTC is usually large and looks larger, but it really wears about 2mm less space-consuming than a normal watch.


Porsche Design offers a number of different versions of the 1919 Globetimer UTC, one of and that is the gold-plated version My spouse and i mentioned earlier.


The main difference between the different types is the color of the face, which is available in brown, african american, or blue.


The calfskin strap is definitely nice, but the titanium pendant is even better. Not only would it complement the overall design of the watch, but the bracelet is well-constructed and fits the hand wrist perfectly.


The particular Caliber Werk 04. a hundred and ten is based on the Sellita SW 200. While there is practically nothing wrong with this movement, it is additionally not a movement you would anticipate finding in a Porsche Design expensive watch.


Nonetheless Porsche Design gets credit history for extensively modifying the actual Sellita-based movement, adding a unique ball bearings, a bi-directional winding rotor, and a branded second time zone module.


The movement is actually COSC-certified chronometer. While which may not be enough to change every guests mind, there’s something to get said for using a established, reliable movement rather than a single that’s expensive just to make.


When it comes to traveling watches, the 1919 Globetimer UTC is the best. It’s lovely to look at, very practical, and also feels comfortable on the wrist.


The 1919 Globetimer UTC watch not only contains the job done, but it also possesses undeniable style that derives from its unique “DNA. ” Actually it’s not only a fine beneficiary to the travel watches in which Porsche Design has been making since 1995, but also a terrific addition to the current collection. replica Zenith Defy Watches

NEW 2024 Richard Mille RM 07-02 Automatic Sapphire

 

 

replica Richard Mille RM 07-02 Sapphire

 

Richard Mille RM 07-02 Automatic Sapphire Collection

Richard Mille first revolutionized watch design in 2015 by creating a watch case made entirely of colored sapphire. The RM 07-02 Automatic Sapphire collection has been expanded with four new models, one of which features a captivating lavender sapphire – a new hue – and a new gem-set dial.

The RM 07-02 Automatic Sapphire collection perfectly blends minimalist design with the mechanical sophistication of haute horlogerie. For Richard Mille connoisseurs who appreciate the brand’s signature watchmaking innovation, these new luxury cheap Watches remain true to the original RM 07-02, with the movement visible from every angle through a stunning colored sapphire prism.

Key features of the new collection include:

Four new colours available, including a refreshing lavender sapphire hue

Geometrically structured dials

Cases requiring over 1,000 hours of machining

Diamond-set cases, a true technical achievement

At the heart of each piece is a striking dial with perfectly symmetrical geometric shapes that catch the eye with its refined elegance. This central design showcases the craftsmanship of the master gem-setters, with the gemstones catching the light and enhancing every aspect of the sapphire case. The gem-setting on the dial, bezel and flange complements the cabochon crown. replica Maurice Lacroix watches

A dazzling array of precious gemstones, including brilliant diamonds, captivating blue sapphires, vivid yellow sapphires, and decorative stones such as orange spessartite, white agate, opal, green tsavorite, chrysoprase and malachite, enhance the visual appeal of the watches.

Beneath the dazzling exterior of this mens replica watches, cutting-edge mechanical engineering is concealed. The CRMA5 Manufacture skeletonised automatic movement, encased in sapphire crystal, displays the hours and minutes. The movement’s winding mechanism is wound by a variable geometry rotor that can be adjusted to suit the wearer’s activity by moving two small weights. This compact movement offers a power reserve of approximately 50 hours. The baseplate and bridges are crafted in red or white gold, depending on the version, and are carefully micro-blasted and hand-chamfered, while the red gold oscillating weight is set with diamonds, adding an extra layer of luxury.

The process of creating colored sapphires is more complex than that of working with clear crystals. Metal oxides are carefully incorporated into the crystalline structure of sapphires to create these vibrant hues, and developing new colors, such as lavender, is a challenge due to the material’s sensitivity to heat and growth. Each new hue is the result of countless trials to perfect the color. mens replica watches

Setting the gemstone in sapphire is an extraordinary feat, requiring sophisticated laser technology to drill holes for the gemstone with micron-level precision. Hand-polished gold claws are then carefully crafted and inserted to secure the diamonds, creating a perfect and elegant setting.

The RM 07-02 Automatic Sapphire Collection represents a relentless pursuit of excellence, where technical sophistication meets refined design. Each version in the collection includes gem-set pink sapphires, lavender sapphires, green sapphires and gem-set green sapphires. luxury replica watches

replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore

 

 

A Closer Look at the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 42mm Ref. 26480TI

 

Thin and Light, Maybe Not Too Common. luxury replica watches

The original Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph, introduced in 1993 as reference 25721 and designed by Emmanuel Gueit and made famous by Italian Olympic ski champion Alberto Tomba, was 42mm in diameter, a huge watch for its time. It has since been revamped several times, most recently in 2017, and joined by several larger versions.

The latest Offshore Chronograph ref. 26480TI was unveiled at the 2019 SIHH in relatively low-key fashion, but its design goes against the grain. It’s still 42mm, but thinner thanks to the Frederic Piguet movement, while the titanium case makes it lighter. All in all, these factors make the new Offshore the most wearable watch in the collection. replica Jacob and Co. watches

The case is made of titanium but is large enough so that it doesn’t appear too light. It measures just 12.8mm in height, compared to the standard Offshore’s 42mm height of 14.4mm.

This is a substantial difference that noticeably changes the proportions of the watch, making it look sleeker on the wrist. That being said, the case still has a large, flat caseback, so it won’t fit smaller wrists as well.

The Movement
The credit for such a slim case goes to the Caliber 2385 inside, which is actually a reworked version of the Frederic Piguet Caliber 1185. Despite being first introduced in 1988, this movement remains one of the most compact and refined automatic chronograph movements on the market, measuring just 26.2mm in diameter and 5.4mm thick. While the Caliber 1185 is revered for its refinement and size, it does have one drawback, which is its short power reserve of just 40 hours. replica Grand Seiko Heritage watches

The calibre 1185 features a column wheel and vertical clutch, features common in modern mid- to high-end chronograph movements, and is an upgrade from the cal. 3126/3840 found in the standard Offshore. It is a modular movement, with the in-house cal. 3126 automatic movement having a chronograph mechanism added to the top, below the dial.

The calibre 1185 was once widely used by high-end brands such as Vacheron Constantin, but since Frederic Piguet was merged into Blancpain, its movements have mostly appeared in watches produced by Swatch Group brands such as Blancpain and Breguet.

The calibre 1185 is still widely used by Audemars Piguet, but primarily in the Royal Oak Chronograph; the ref. 26480TI is the first Offshore men replica watches to feature this movement. In the long term, the Offshore Chronograph will most likely be equipped with the in-house 4401 movement now found in the Code 11.59, so it is unlikely that the ref. 26480TI will remain in the catalog for long.

While the movement is small relative to the case, it actually works well with the proportions of the watch, as the dials of the Offshore Chronograph have always been small and the bezels wide. As a result, all the chronograph counters are located between the center and the edge of the dial, avoiding the cross-eyed clustering that is often seen on large chronographs driven by small movements.

Finishing
Typical for the Royal Oak, the case finishing is extremely refined. While the case is made of titanium, which usually has a dull appearance, this case has been given a shiny finish similar to that of steel.

All flat surfaces have a gorgeous brushed finish, while the edges have a mirror-polished bevel. The borders between the contrasting finishes are very sharp. replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore

(Over) Design
Like the case, the dial also has a high level of fit and finish.

The design is typical of the Royal Oak, with sensible color coding for the subdials – grey for the constant seconds hand, and grey with a white border for the chronograph hands.

That said, the styling feels a little over-engineered, with little embellishments everywhere. The hour and minute hands are elongated, skeletonized versions of the standard Offshore hands, while the indices are flared at the base.

There are also crosshairs on the constant seconds counter, while the case back is engraved with a pattern reminiscent of a football.

It’s not unattractive, but it feels unnecessary.

Despite the over-the-top dial design, the Offshore Chronograph ref. 26480TI is one of the most attractive watches in the collection. Its size and weight also make it feel good on the wrist.

From a broader perspective, the new Offshore is an interesting watch; it’s a bit of a halfway house between the current Offshore with a modular movement and the future Offshore with the new in-house cal. 4401. In this case, it’s probably relatively uncommon. replica Breitling Avenger watches

New replica Patek Philippe Cubitus

 



New replica Patek Philippe Cubitus Ref. 5821/1A

 

Once upon a time, the Patek Philippe name was synonymous with Calatrava, complications, old money, class and elegance. These aspects remain at the heart of Patek Philippe today, but we also live in a rapidly changing world. In recent years, the brand has been very keen to attract a younger clientele, moving away from the dress watches it does best, towards sports watches with increasingly bold designs. Recently, we have seen numerous variations of the Nautilus and Aquanaut emerge, driven by a surge in demand for sports watches, pilots’ watches and casual Calatravas. Perhaps history is repeating itself, as it wasn’t long ago that the original Nautilus was inducted into the pantheon of the brand, which – with the exception of the World Wars – only produced classic pieces at the time.

Patek Philippe Cubitus Ref. 5821/1A
Two months ago, Patek Philippe replica watches for sale furthered its timeless goal of staying relevant no matter the era by launching a brand new collection that it hopes will win over the next generation: the sporty and elegant Cubitus. The official announcement came on the back of clues and teasers that eventually leaked a week before the launch. Indeed, it has been a long time since Patek Philippe launched a new collection, the last being the Twenty-4 25 years ago and the Aquanaut 27 years ago. As expected, when the curtains were drawn, emotions ran high and opinions were divided. This is Patek Philippe after all, and everyone has different expectations from a brand that has long been considered the industry's gold standard. Of the three references launched, one stood out and is clearly going to be the most popular piece. Here, we bring you details and our honest thoughts on the new Cubitus Ref. 5821/1A stainless steel green dial watch.

Case, Dial and Hands
The biggest highlight of the new Cubitus is its case. Patek Philippe has introduced another unusually shaped watch, joining the ranks of other non-round watches in its catalogue, such as the Nautilus, Aquanaut, Ellipse, Gondolo and (at least in part) the Twenty-4. The case of the Cubitus is, simply put, a square with a vertex cut off. Technically, it’s an octagon based on the number of sides, but in reality, it’s closer to a square. In a vacuum, this is a beautiful-looking case. The shape and proportions are perfect. The square case looks more elegant than the Nautilus’s and, importantly, avoids looking like an old-school TV set. The finishing on the case alternates between brushed and polished. It’s not groundbreaking, but it works very well, as the brushed and polished surfaces set off each other. This extends to the bracelet, which is brushed, with only the centre links and bevels being polished. Patek Philippe takes the design, construction and finishing of its cases and bracelets very seriously, and the Cubitus further proves that philosophy. replica Zenith watches

If the dial looks familiar, it’s because you’ve seen it on the 2023 Nautilus Ref. 5711/1A-014. The hour markers are slightly different here, but everything else, from the sunburst olive green dial to the hands and date display, looks unchanged.

This brings us to the obvious: the Cubitus looks just like the Nautilus. If you tweeze the case (the most iconic part of the Cubitus) a bit, you’re back to the Nautilus. Lack of originality, invention, and innovation has been the main criticism of the Cubitus. These complaints stem primarily from comparing the Cubitus to the Nautilus, and they are, of course, valid. But thankfully, there’s nothing inherently wrong with the Cubitus itself. The watch and its design look exceptional, both literally and figuratively, and the manufacturing and finishing are impeccable. When you put the Nautilus next to the Cubitus, you wonder if Patek Philippe could have done better, if it should have done better. buy breplica watches

Powering the Cubitus Ref. 5821 is the Calibre 26-330 S C, which consists of 212 parts and 30 jewels. This fairly new time and date movement also powers about a dozen other watches, such as the Nautilus Ref. 5811/1G-001, Aquanaut Ref. 5268/200R-010, and Calatrava Ref. 5226G-001. The highlight of this movement is its stop-seconds function - yes, you read that correctly. Patek Philippe has never been concerned about the lack of a stop-seconds function in many of its movements; this is in stark contrast to the strict accuracy standards of the Patek Philippe Seal. If you think about it, this is understandable. Precise time setting to the exacting second is nice to have, but it is far from essential. Patek Philippe is a brand that essentially embraces traditional watchmaking, and the stop-seconds function did not exist at the time. It can be inferred that the nostalgia and romance of having a moving seconds hand during time-setting is as valuable as the precision provided by a stop-seconds hand. Nevertheless, the fact that the Calibre 26-330 SC is equipped with a stop-seconds mechanism is perhaps a sign that the brand is looking towards the future. replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watches

In terms of movement finishing, the standard is as high as ever. Of course, it is not up to the level of an independent watchmaker producing 100 watches per year, but for an “entry-level” model from a brand that produces tens of thousands of watches per year, it is commendable. The finishing of the Calibre 26-330 SC is noticeably different compared to other Patek Philippe movements, and this has to do with the surface of the gold central rotor. The linear striations here contrast with the circular waves that usually accompany the engraved Calatrava cross. This design choice (designed specifically for the Cubitus) complements the model’s extensive use of lines and angles. Unfortunately, the shape of the new Calibre itself does not match the case, but this is a fairly minor complaint. Case in point: the Bulgari Octo Finissimo is also a square watch with a well-received round movement. Still, one has to hold Patek Philippe to a higher standard, and even small considerations like movement shape come under scrutiny.

The Cubitus is a gorgeous watch in its own right, but it’s currently living in the shadow of the Nautilus. Critics (correctly) point out the lack of distinction between the Cubitus and the Nautilus, as if the former were a derivative of the latter. Perhaps the Cubitus would be more popular if it were designed as a dress watch and featured a leather strap. In any case, only time will tell if the Cubitus line has a high ceiling for success or just a high floor. Given the success that other competing brands’ more controversial watches have had over time, we’d bet that the Cubitus will be fine. Patek Philippe just needs to find novel ways to spice up future Cubitus versions. replica Richard Mille Bubba Watson

NEW Urwerk UR-230 Polaris

 

 

replica Urwerk UR-230 Polaris

 

Unveiling the new UR-230 “Polaris”: Urwerk’s first ceramic watch

In typical Urwerk fashion, this new creation doesn’t use ordinary ceramic, but a unique composite material specially designed for the brand.

In 2023, Urwerk unveiled the UR-230 “Eagle” as the first member of its 230 series, replacing the UR-220.

The model features the brand’s signature satellite hour display and is powered by a new movement: the UR-7.30 calibre. The black design features a DLC-treated titanium and CTP (Carbon Thin Layer) carbon case and is limited to 35 pieces.

Now, Urwerk replica watches for sale is back with the second generation of the 230 series, but the new UR-230 “Polaris” marks the first use of a ceramic case in its range.

However, this is no ordinary ceramic – it’s a special composite material specially developed by Urwerk in collaboration with Jura-based Busch Composites.

A brief introduction to ceramics in watchmaking
Over the years, ceramic has become an increasingly popular material in watchmaking for its strength and scratch resistance, and Rado was one of the first brands to use the material back in the 1960s.

In recent decades, countless other watch brands, from Chanel to Audemars Piguet to IWC, have begun to create watches with ceramic.

The downside of this material is its inherent brittleness, which makes it prone to cracks and breakage. Additionally, the material's rigidity makes it more suitable for angular designs rather than rounded ones, partly because the process of manufacturing ceramic watch cases requires the use of molds. replica Richard Mille McLaren

With its edgy and highly aerodynamic case shapes, Urwerk knew it would require a slightly different approach than typical ceramic. So Urwerk enlisted some experts in the field to develop a unique ceramic composite material specifically for the brand.

This exciting new material takes center stage in the UR-230 "Polaris." Let's take a look!

The New UR-230 “Polaris”

I recently conducted an exclusive interview with master watchmaker and Urwerk co-founder Felix Baumgartner, who explained: “Busch Composites is primarily involved in the space and aviation industries. However, they are also involved in the pharmaceutical and watch industries.”

“They made a special ceramic and quartz fiber blend for us, pressed it together and treated it with epoxy, which gives the material a crisp white color.”

While the new material is the biggest difference between the “Polaris” and the original “Eagle,” there are other changes worth noting. “The addition of quartz to ceramic eliminates several issues with traditional ceramic: color restrictions, breakage, and the use of molds,” Baumgartner continued.luxury replica watches

“With molds, you are limited in the design of the case itself and lose about 2% of the case material, which reduces the accuracy of the case. In contrast, with this composite material, we were able to machine the case to maintain the curved proportions we wanted.”

Also, in terms of case design, the “Eagle” uses a hunter-style caseback that acts as a protective cover for the sapphire crystal. The Polaris features a more traditional case construction, a sleeker, slimmer design, and is 1.5mm thinner than the original Eagle.

Choose the UR-7.30 movement and start your own adventure
Urwerk’s styles can be a little intimidating, as they look nothing like your average timepiece. However, at their core, they are designed to be highly intuitive and user-friendly.replica Ulysse Nardin Marine watches

“With the 200 Series, our goal is to put the user in the driver’s seat of the watch,” Baumgartner describes. “Just like a car can switch between manual and automatic transmission, these watches can switch between manual and automatic winding systems.”

“When you’re relaxed and stationary, you don’t need to protect the movement from harsh knocks—you can keep the watch in the automatic position,” he clarifies. “But if you’re going to play a round of golf, you’ll need to put the winding system in the manual position to fully protect it.”

In either position, you can use the brand’s signature satellite hour system, which consists of three satellites for the hours and retrograde minutes. This perfect combination results in a pleasant "click" sound from the minute hand when the hour changes, subtly alerting the wearer to the new hour through both sound and feel on the wrist.

The UR-230 "Polaris" is paired with a white Kiska rubber strap, manufactured by BIWI, an industry leader in rubber strap technology. replica Patek Philippe watches
