Hublot Big Bang Maradona – Nice-looking Watch with Football Theme
Posted by Max Stone in Watch News on March 9, 2010
Luxury watches are not for the mass market, so it’s very important for luxury watchmaker to spot their niche markets and be special and unique to meet the appetites of those small groups of people. Hublot’s new model, the Hublot Big Bang Maradona, really makes a great example of how to tap the niche market.
While many watchmakers are inviting the movie stars and celebrities to be their ambassadors, it’s ingenious for Hublot to invite the famous Argentine football star, Diego Maradona, to be their newest ambassador, and even make a limited edition watch collection in his name! This is how the Hublot Big Bang Maradona got its name.
I like this watch very much for its nice-looking color scheme and ingenious design. There is only three colors on the watch, while the majority of the watch is in black, the hour markers and chapter ring are in blue and white, which not only inspirit the watch with freshness, but is also reminiscent of the Argentine football team.
When you take a closer look at the watch, you will find Maradona ‘appears’ on the watches three times. His cute signature with the iconic number 10 at 5 o’clock position may be the first you’ll notice. Then you may find that the small dial at 3 o’clock is actually made into Maradona’s jersey number 10, which is probably the most favorite jersey for Argentine football fans.
And the back of the watch reveals everything about the watch: at the middle of the watch, it’s the the sight of Maradona’s back in victorious posture, which is the third time he appears on the watch. Around the Maradona picture writes more information of the watch, such as “Hublot Big Bang’, ‘Limited Edition’ and unique number for each piece of the watch. Only 250 pieces of the watch will be available. Only the frenetic and super rich fans of Argentine football team can get this watch.
Before, Hublot have issued some other watches with football theme, for example, the Hublot Red Devil Bang I in 2008 and the Hublot Red Devil Bang II in 2009. But I think the Hublot Big Bang Maradona is the one that really succeeds in combining the design aesthetics and football theme. Even though I am not a Argentine football buff, I would vote for this watch. I guess Maradona’s fans would go crazy about this watch and are eager to pay the high price of the watch if they can afford it. I just wish the replica Hublot watches would come soon to meet the football fans’ need.
Hublot Big Bang Tutti Frutti Makes Her Like a Princess
Posted by Max Stone in Watch News on March 4, 2010
If you haven’t made up your mind of which ladies’ watch to buy for your girl on the Women’s Day, here I’ll introduce a competitive candidate for your consideration: The Hublot Big Bang Tutti Frutti (also called the Big Bang Rose).
The name of the watch is just sweet as its feminine appearance. In Italian, the word ‘Tutti Frutti’ means ‘all fruits’. Vernal, fashionable and elegant, the watch features a very pleasant look and a very nice match of color scheme. The white mother-of-pearl dial and gold watch hands and hour markers are perfectly animated by the baguette-cut pink sapphires set along the 18 K gold bezel. And the matching pink alligator strap would just make the watch even more eye-catching and as fresh as a rose.
It is worth mention that the watch comes in a large case that is 41 mm wide. As it’s popular for girls to were large watches, wearing the Big Bang Tutti Frutti would only make you look more fashionable and get more attention.
In my opinion, although red and pink is often used in ladies’ watches, they are often end up with making the watch either too vulgar or too childish. But I have to admit that this Hublot Big Bang Tutti Frutti really did a great job in making a pink watch look so pure and beautiful like a blossoming rose.
Overall, the craftsmanship and color scheme of the watch is excellent, I love everything of this watch except for its price, which is about $19,900 apiece. I think maybe only the princess from the royal families or celebrities can afford such a hefty price. If you are not courting a super star, why not consider the replica Hublot watches? With such beautiful fashion accessories adorned on your girl’s wrist, she will look as beautiful as the princess. How can you miss the chance to enjoy such happy moment?
Women’s Day Present – Chopard Happy Sport Chrono 2010
Posted by Max Stone in Watch News on March 3, 2010
As the International Women’s Day is approaching, I think it’s appropriate to introduce some more women’s watches. I know that the holiday is not observed in United States and west European countries, but as it is called international holiday, I think we cannot neglect the rest of the world mainly because the Americans and Europeans are not joining us. So today I’ll introduce a Chopard watch for ladies to you.
The watch is called Chopard Happy Sport Chrono, which was released earlier this year to celebrate the Valentine’s Day. In addition, 2010 marks the 150th anniversary of Chopard. It would add one more reason to buy timepieces from them. In fact, I think maybe they should inscribe some words like “150th Anniversary” or etc on all the backs of their watches to create more value for their customers. This may in turn boost the sales of their watches, too.
The Happy Sport collection was initially introduced in 1993 and was an instant hit. The new Happy Sport Chrono is an attention catcher with 40 diamonds on the gold bezel. And what’s more attractive is the 5 other diamonds that can move freely along the dial against the delicate mother-of-pearl backdrop. Besides, the ladies’ watch features 3 counters on the dial. Contemporary, urban and sophisticated are the best words to describe such functional and feminine watch.
If you have missed the chance to present a nice gift for her, then it’s your great opportunity to buy the the Chopard Happy Sport Chrono as present for the International Women’s Day since this is a great day to express your love to female. The watch comes in several other versions, but the pink version with matching alligator leather strap certainly looks more delightful and feminine. Want to see more Chopard watches?

New TAG Heuer Formula 1 Lady At Baselworld 2010
Posted by Janny Long in Watch News on March 2, 2010
As the Baselworld 2010 is opening soon, watch makers exert themselves to attract people’s attention by releasing new models. The new Tag Heuer Formula 1 Lady series are one such latest attention grabbers.
The three F1 Lady watches can easily leave a great first impression for most people with their stylish design. The sleek bezel and bracelet are actually made of ceramic. Although ceramic has long been employed in the making of luxury timepieces by many famous watchmaker such as Rado, Rolex and Omega, this is the first time for Tag Heuer to introduce such material in their models, so there is some collection value for these two watches in addition to their original values.
The new Tag Heuer Formula 1 Lady comes in a black, white and extra-diamond version. All feature smooth lines and basic functions. As we can see from the pictures, the one with extra diamonds on bezels seems to be a little more complicated as it can be water resistant to 200 meters. But I really don’t think such water resistance is necessary. And it seems women judge the watches by appearance instead of functions, so Tag Heuer only equip the watches with quartz movements instead of automatic movements.
Although it is hard to relate the Formula 1 matches to ladies watches, I have to admit that these are pretty beautiful and attractive womens watches, especially the white one. Since the structure of these watches are pretty simple, I think replica watch makers can easily made an exact copy of the watch and sold it in very low price. If you are interested in shopping replica Tag Heuer Formula 1 womens watch, welcome to visit our site to look around.
Bell & Ross Vintage 123: The Classic Beauty
To many new-coming watch fans, Bell & Ross watches may be well characterized by the squared military-style instrument face that is reminiscent of the dash board on planes. What they might not know is that before the successful launch of the BR-01 Instruments, the Bell & Ross Vintage collection has gained huge popularity. For example, the Bell & Ross Vintage 123 watch is one of the best seller from this collection.
The Vintage 123 shows a very different Bell & Ross style from the BR 01 series. Maybe both the BR01 and Vintage 123 can be described as simple, clear and nor no-frill watches, but the latter features much more elegance and aesthetics.
In my opinion, the elegance and aesthetics of Bell & Ross Vintage 123 mainly comes from the satin-finish case in stainless steel and the slim watch face. The Vintage 123 does not bear the fat square frame outside the round case and its hour and minute hands are slimmer, which gives more room for the dial and make it look better. Besides, the strap of Vintage 123 is of normal size while the BR 01 series feature wide rubber straps, which again makes BR 01 look more sturdy but less elegant.
(There is a small window at the back of the case showing the automatic movement.)
Maybe because I have traditional mind, I think the Bell & Ross Vintage 123 meet the standard of my ideal watch better with its understated casual look and minimalistic, classic style. Of course, some BR 01 fans may argue that the Vintage 123 looks too traditional and too gentle to be a military watch. I agree with that, too. As a matter of fact, I think Bell & Ross fans should really buy at least one BR Vintage watch and one BR 01 watch to better experience the beauty of Bell & Ross watches. However, that may pose some financial constraint on most watch fans as Bell & Ross watches are not cheap. To easily own different styles of Bell & Ross watches, replica Bell & Ross watches are your great alternatives.
Breitling Avenger Seawolf Chrono Blacksteel: Luxury Quartz Watch
Posted by Janny Long in Watch News on February 27, 2010
A new Breitling Avenger Seawolf chronograph is about to make its premiere at the Baselworld 2010. The new Breitling watch, called Avenger Seawolf Chrono Blacksteel, is said to be the only chronograph that is water resistant and fully operational at a depth of 1,000 meters.
Best characterized as robust and highly technical, the Blacksteel limited edition Breitling watch is distinct from other by its unusual look and its exceptional performance. Different from most of the luxury timepieces we know, the Avenger Seawolf Chrono Blacksteel is powered by a quartz movement instead of mechanical movement. The movement, called Caliber 73 or SuperQuartz, is COSC-certified and 10 times more accurate than standard quartz movements and its battery can last for 2-3 years.
Also worth noting is the brand’s exclusive, patented magnetic push-piece system concealed inside the 45mm case. The chronograph function can be activated while diving through the metal case without direct mechanical contact, which is quite a breakthrough in the dive watch field.
The dive watch is endowed with a range of practical functions: hours, minutes, seconds, date, split-seconds chronograph, and direction memory. There is a 12-hour chronograph counter at 10 o’clock, a 1/10-second counter at 2 o’clock and a date display at 4 o’clock.
Limited at 2000 pieces, the Avenger Seawolf Chrono Blacksteel is priced at around $5000. Although some says the quartz watch is not worth of such amount of money, many do agree the watch will easily capture a lot of attention for its tough look. If you would like to have the watch with identical appearance as Breitling watches without paying the high cost, replica Breitling Avenger Seawolf watches would be nice substitute.
Lasting Luxury: Porsche Design Heritage P6530 Watch
Posted by Max Stone in Watch News on February 26, 2010
In some people’s eyes, luxury may mean being kind of fragile and need to be protected with extra care. But for Porsche Design, luxury may be first of all being kind of eternal existence that can withstand the test of time. Such character is successfully inherited by the new Porsche Design Heritage P6530 Watch.
With its case and bracelet entirely constructed in shot-blasted titanium, Porsche Design Heritage P6530 is highly resistant to corrosion of time. Since titanium is very light and easy on the skin, the watch will give you comfortable wearing experience.
It is worth mentioning that 30 years ago, Porsche created the world’s first first chronograph in titanium. The new Porsche Design Heritage P6530 inherits the great tradition by faithfully keeping most of the original styles.
Driven by a Swiss Valjoux 7750 caliber with a 48 hour power reserve, the Porsche Design new Heritage P’6530 Titanium Chronograph features common functions of sports watches, namely a 30-minute counter at 12 o’clock, small seconds sub-dial at 9 o’clock, and a 12-hour totaliser at 6 o’clock and a tachymeter scale outside the baton hour-markers. The watch also indicates day and date at 3 o’clock and is water resistant to 60 meters.
Although the watch cannot to be called as very expensive, estimated price ranges from $3,000-5,000, it comes in an edition of only 911 pieces. So it may not be easy for you to buy the watch. This number sounded very strange. I thought it was connected with the terrorist attack. But later I found it may probably in connection with Porsche’s famous sports car, Porsche 911.
Each Heritage P6530 Titanium Chronograph will be packaged in a black wood box with a certification indicating the production number. Combining clear and pure lines with durable and hard-wearing material, the watch really carries great heritage of Porsche Design watches. If you are a big fan of Porsche or Porsche Design, you may be excited at our extensive collection of replica Porsche Design watches.
Panerai Luminor 1950 10 Days GMT Ceramica (Panerai PAM335): Stick to Tradition
Posted by Max Stone in Watch News on February 26, 2010
Clear and no-frill as usual, the recently introduced Panerai Luminor 1950 10 Days GMT Ceramica watch (reference PAM335) gives us the familiar feeling with Panerai styles that we get used to.
Although it may look a bit conservative and understated, I am sure that this traditional Panerai style will be always welcomed by Panerai fans, because that’s what originally attracts them.
The watch feature very simple design. There is only two color on the watch: black and white, which ensures the exceptional legibility of the watch hands and hour markers. It incorporates a date display window at 3 o’clock, a 10-day power reserve indicator at 6 o’clock and a small seconds subdial and 24h indicator at 9 o’clock.. The watch is water-resistant to 100 meters.
Like the PAM348 we introduced earlier, the 44mm case of Panerai Luminor 1950 10 Days GMT Ceramica is made of zirconium oxide ceramic, which is an exceptionally hard, corrosion and scratching resistant material.
I heard that the ceramic material gave Panerai some technical troubles before. At last year’s SIHH, the Panerai unveiled the PAM 317, which is a Panerai GMT 8 Day chronograph very similar to PAM 335. The production of PAM 317 were delayed because the ceramic is so hard that the craftsman found it difficult to drill holes for the crown and the mono pusher. Fortunately the Panerai technicians solved the problem finally. And they learned to reduce the trouble by omitting the chronograph functions, which means they can drill one less hole. Similarly, to avoid the PVD coating problem happened during the production of PAM 317, Panerai made a little compromise by offering a “smoked crystal” for the case back, which reduce the aesthetic feature of the watch a little bit.
(The case back of Panerai Pam317 and Panerai Pam335)
As many other Panerai watches, the Panerai Luminor 1950 10 Days GMT Ceramica is in limited production, with only 500 examples available in the market. The price is around $20,000 US.
The Panerai GMT 10 Days and Panerai GMT 8 Days are two of the most sought series among the Panerai GMT watches. Watcheslux.com has several styles of Panerai GMT 10 Days and Panerai GMT 8 Days replica watches in stock. If you find the original Panerai watches far beyond your budget, you may find our replica Panerai watches suit you quite well.
Wearing the Nigh Sky on Wrist: Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication
Posted by Matthew in Watch News on February 26, 2010
When talking about luxury, the most common things we could think about are those glittering stuff set with gold, jewelery or diamonds. But Swiss watchmaker Jaeger-LeCoultre thinks much bigger, they offer you the whole night sky in the form of a dedicated timepiece. That’s the new Grand Complication watch from the Master Grand Tradition watch line.
A Grand Complication generally consists of three complications: a perpetual calendar, a minute repeater and a chronograph or a tourbillon. The JLC Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication is mainly such a standard model but is animated with slight modifications and innovative designs.
Sky-chart Dial
Like other watches, it attracts me by its unique watch face. It’s hard to not praise the dedicated craftsmanship of its galactic dial that depicts the constellations of the northern hemisphere. This is really a brilliant interpretation of luxury. After all, what would be more luxury than owning the whole night sky full of stars? I think Jaeger-LeCoultre should really consider launch another watch with simliar designs for ladies because that would be a killing present for ladies – they are always looking forward to picking the stars, aren’t they?
Instead of showing a perpetual calendar, the watch shows a zodiac calendar outside edge of the sky-chart dial. A small sun is rotating along the zodiac signs with a month indication.
Tourbillon
Different from the general tourbillon that counts 24 hours a day, or the Solar time, the flying tourbillon on Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication counts the sidereal time, which is 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4.091 seconds. This is the first time a haute horlogerie indicates the celestial time through the tourbillon.
Minute Repeater
Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication incorporates an innovative minute repeater results from five years of research. With the innovative crystal gong and “trebuchet” hammers, the minute repeater is able to produce a louder and more euphonious sound with improved water resistance.
Overall, the new Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication can be called true by true horology art. However, it is limited to only 75 examples, with an estimated list price over 100,000 dollars.
We have plenty of Jaeger-LeCoultre replicas, visit our website you may be surprised at how good our replica Jaeger-LeCoultre watches are.
TechnoMarine Watches Unveil New TechnoMarine Cruise Sport Finally
Posted by Matthew in Watch News on February 23, 2010
Haven’t heard of TechnoMarine for so long. Now we finally have some news from the Swiss watch maker. Recently, they are going to issue an entry level dive watch, the TechnoMarine Cruise Sport, at the BaselWorld.
It is said this was the first watch that come out from the company in the past 6 months. It seems their new CEO, Vincent Perriard, has spent much time to make preparation for re-positioning the brand after he took over the company last August.
The new TechnoMarine Cruise Sport features a nice-looking face: the bezel, the chapter ring and one of the sub-dial all apply the two-tone color scheme, which animate the watch with changes and fashion sense. This design , although not fresh and innovative, is contemporary enough to catch people’s eyes and be welcomed by the youth. In addition to the blue version, the Cruise Sport is available in 3 other black & color combination, that is white, green and orange.
As for the specs, there is no noteworthy highlights. Citizen FS20 Quartz movement, plus 45mm 316L stainless steel case with mineral crystal protection, all or very humble deployment. But the watch has all the basic functions to be called a dive watch. It is water resistant to 200 meters and its watch hands and hour markers are luminous.
The list price of the new TechnoMarine Cruise Sport is about 440 US dollars. It’s really an entry level timepiece. I guess this watch would not be interested by replica watch maker as most people would probably choose to buy a genuine watch when there is no much difference in price. However, there are some TechnoMarine watches that are no longer on sale from normal sales channels. For example, the TechnoMarine Hummer is one such watch series. We still have a few Hummer replica available for watch fans, if you are a Hummer or Techno Marine fan, you cannot miss them out.
