The number of Breitling’s limited editions is quite impressive. At a point that some might wonder if they are really limited ! After several Military and Avenger series, http://www.speedroc.com/replica-breitling-transocean-chronograph.html is now back on its legendary Navitimer, leaving for a minute its fied-ops passion for its natural-born flying instinct. Iconic in its classic version with a black dial, the Navitimer adopts even more exclusive colors in a limited series featuring a bronze dial. This limited edition of 1000 pieces reminds collectors of the Blue Sky edition that saw the light of day a couple of years ago for the 60th anniversary of the piece. This blue dial piece was awesome and really in touch with the fanbase, which was on demand for blue dials – not only from replica omega Planet Ocean but from a lot of brands. The trend of blue dials started in 1969 with TAG Heuer’s Monaco till it event hit recently the borders of Glashütte (remember the electric Sixties from Glasütte Originals), but it was an interesting added-value from replica Breitling Chronospace Automatic to apply this colour to an aviation piece such as the Navitimer. Breitling Navitimer 01 Panamerican – Bronzy style Created in 1952, the Navitimer has asserted itself as one of the ten great 20th century watchmaking classics – and a cult object for all passionate aviaation enthusiasts. Breitling now offers this model in a 1,000-piece limited series distinguished by a bronze-colored dial – an original and refined touch that further highlights the originality of the design with its three hollowed counters and its circular slide rule designed to perform all calculations involved in airborne navigation. Of course, now that Breitling is a manufacture, a transparent caseback let see the Caliber 01, a selfwinding chronograph developed and produced within theBreitling Chronométrie workshops and chronometer-certified by the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute), as for each and every model from the company. It’s also interesting to see that the model is offered in a 43 mm diameter. During Baselworld, Breitling unveiled a super large new Navitimer (up to 46 mm), which sounded too big on many of the commentator’s wrists. And, as a matter of fact, too close from the Bentley collection. Breitling Navitimer 01 Panamerican – Chronomat cousin Before seeing the piece in stores, the new Panamerican seems to be quite close from some brown dials the company has, espcially on Chronomat references. Is is a duplicate ? Actually no, because here in the Navitimer we don’t have the square shape applied on the dial, a typical design that can be seen only on the Chronomat serie. On the Navitimer, the good thing is the B-Winged famous logo that stands at noon. Crafted in gold, it really stands out of the bronze dial. Some might even say that a full bronze / gold edition of the Navitimer would be more than welcome. Because, and that’s maybe the negative point, the choice of the steel strap doesn’t really fit the watch. The bronze dial gives it a warm charm that the steel bracelet turns cold. It might be more interesting to chose the Barenia leather strap to reinforce the feeling brought by the bronze option. Breitling Navitimer 01 Panamerican – Limited edition policy Last but not least : the limited edition itself. Or should we say so-called limited ? 1000 units is the average number of pieces that TAG Heuer, Omega or Breitling are used to make for limited editions. Still, that’s quite a big volume for a true collector, who often have a preference for Panerai or Jaquet Droz type of limited editions, with 12 up to 88 pieces, most of the time. 1000 units don’t make the piece a rare collector as such. And Breitling often goes up to 3000 ‘limited’ series, which definitely makes the brand stand on the ‘mass market’ side of the watchmaking industry. Price: 9,360 CHF It might be interesting for Breitling to reconsider its volume of production for such limited editions in order to be back on the true collectibles side. The fanbase could probably not agree more.

Breitling has released specs and photos on the first of its new watches set to debut at Baselworld 2014, the Replica Breitling Chronospace for Bentley 6.75 Midnight Carbon, a deep black, ticking tribute to the biggest Bentley engine, the famous 6.75-liter version that powers Bentley’s Mulsanne limousines. In this article from my blog, Watch-Insider.com, I reveal photos and technical details direct from the brand. This new version of the brand’s Bentley 6.75 chronograph watch, according to Replica Breitling Aeromarine press release, “ramps up the power and the audacity in an entirely black-clad limited series… This midnight-hued livery, achieved by a special ultra-resistant carbon-based treatment [DLC], enhances the sporting style of the satin-brushed steel case with its taut, dynamic lines and its knurled bezel inspired by Bentley’s famous radiator grilles. “The dial also exudes dark elegance, enhanced by a vertical open worked motif offering a glimpse of the movement. The caseback springs its own surprise, since the five-spoke motif reprising the distinctive design of Bentley wheel rims also appears in black against the metallic background. “The self-winding chronograph movement, chronometer-certified by the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute), is distinguished by its… ‘large aperture calendar’ system, [which displays] the date in a highly readable manner via two distinct indicators: one for the tens and the other for the units.” The Bentley 6.75 Midnight Carbon is issued in a limited edition of 1,000 pieces and comes on a rubber strap with a central raised motif that echoes the pattern on the bezel. More specs on the new watch — which will be priced at $10,945 — are below the photos. http://www.buyijoy.com/replica-breitling-bentley-super-sports.html for Bentley 6.75 Midnight Carbon Movement: Breitling Caliber 44B, automatic, COSC-certified chronometer; frequency = 28,800 vph (4 Hz); 38 jewels; 1/8th-second chronograph; 30-minute and 12-hour totalizers; “large aperture calendar” Case: Black steel; diameter = 49 mm; water-resistant to 100 meters; screw-locked crown; rotating pinion bezel with variable tachymeter (circular slide rule); curved sapphire crystal, glare-proofed on both sides; special decorated back.

Does the key of time hold the key to time? Depends on how you look at it. A few years ago Mathias Buttet created a weird watch movement capable of speeding up and slowing down time, and then automatically return the dial to the normal time. Poetically the movement had a lot of value, though practically it had next to none. What it did however do was offer a unique design opportunity to see how one might create a timepiece around this concept. This is the third try. The first watch to use this complex vertical tourbillon based movement was a company called Horus that made a boat style watch out of it called the Ultramarinum. I believe Horus is now defunct. Then Mathias decided to use the movement in one of his own watches for the BNB Confrerie Horlogerie in a watch called the La Clef (with an "f") du Temps. I actually got to play with this incredible odd watch hands-on for myself. Mathias explained to me that it was designed using the look of the movie character Predator's head. Fair enough. BNB is not defunct. Mr. Buttet with his risk taking and creativity is now at http://www.buyijoy.com/replica-omega-planet-ocean.html running the movement making and designing arm. With Mr. Biver's guidance and the Hublot DNA, I think that Mathias finally found his groove. Early this year I wrote about this watch that now has the name of the Replica Breitling Navitimer Confrerie La Cle du Temps - and now I offer you a hands-on experience of an almost ready for production model of the watch. Priced at over $300,000 this isn't a watch that is made to make money. It is make as a concept, a passion play of design and movement making designed to stimulate the imagination and offer Replica Hublot Big Bang King a creative outlet. With pieces such as this coming from Hublot on a regular basis, they are more or less the premiere brand right now that is releasing experimental futuristic designs and movements. Chalk up to a Biver + Buttet power relationship. On the wrist the watch actually looks a bit smaller than its massive visual stature might suggest. A lot of it is in black rubber and black metal to emphasis the luminous green elements on the dial. If I didn't know better I would say this that watch looked like one of the coolest movie props around. It just has a distinct Hollywood vibe to it. This is also the watch Mathias himself has been wearing on his own wrist the last few times I have seen him. The dial has been meticulously designed by Mr. Buttet to be more legible than before, but also much more futuristic. Facing toward you on your wrist is a massive gaping maw of what is a vertical tourbillon staring at you. To operate the watch you have just two large crowns - one on each side of the case. It doesn't even need to the tell the time to look cool. Buttet seemed to realize that the function to speed up and slow down time was more or less a gimmick. The watch doesn't focus too much on this element. In fact, that function might not be there and you probably wouldn't notice. I see it as more of a "my watch should entertain me when I am bored feature." The information you see more is the time and power reserve for the five days of energy the La Cle du Temps movement stores. Everything about the watch is about experimental design. I did mention that it was comfortable to wear - which is true. I would love to walk around a watch-hungry city in Asia and see what people think. Most of the time I would endeavor to discuss the little details in a watch such as the materials it was made out of and its dimensions. In this instance I am not even going to bother. Why? It is totally immaterial to one's decision to buy it. "Shame it is 50mm wide versus 48mm wide, that really would have pushed my decision to purchase over the ledge." Really not what is at issue here. The sad thing is that this watch isn't likely to get you laid as much as it should. You are more likely to get a Star Trek convention fan aroused with this on your wrist than you are that hottie in a one-piece mini dress at the club who can only see a few pieces of the watch glow in the dark in front of her. Ten minutes into your conversation on what this watch does, she has slipped into a thought trance on what all future conversations with you are going to be like. At least you'll know that it is cool. Isn't that enough for you? Hublot will make just 50 pieces of the La Cle Du Temps for the world to digest. If I don't see Mathias wearing one of these on a regular basis I will be just a bit disappointed. His next invention should be a watch that works on speeding up and slowing down the tempo in people talking to you. Wouldn't you like conversations with your parents to happens four times faster?

While I am not the type of guy who is that interested in vintage style watches, there are a lot of excellent exceptions such as the newer Replica Breitling Bentley Super sports Transocean. When Breitling shared this piece with me I immediately liked it. Sure it is a retro-type piece, but ti is not a watch that is overtly "retro." I would rather suggest it is a traditionally styled watch - something that has a more timeless quality than looking as though it is stuck in a past era.

Last year Replica Breitling Aeromarine introduced the chronograph version of the Transocean called that Transocean Chronograph. This piece does feel a bit more retro than the newer three-hand model. A lot of that has to do with the design of the pushers, style of tachymetre scale on the dial, as well as the chronograph subdials. Both the Transocean Chronograph and more simple Transocean are great looking watches and you don't need to think of yourself as being at all retro when wearing them.

OK come on, this watch is cool. I am not even a basketball or Miami Heat fan, but this watch is really cool. It doesn't take a lot of thought to understand why replica Omega Planet Ocean is doing well with the aspirational youth audience or wealthy individuals who wouldn't take a Patek out for a night on the town in fear that they might fall asleep at 9:30pm from a lack of visual excitement. This watch is really what Hublot is doing best. The designs we see might sometimes be redundant or predictable, but they are still cool.
I talked about Replica Hublot Big Bang King and the Miami Heat a while go here in an enjoyable article. First they produced a limited edition watch for Miami Heat player Dwyane Wade, then announced that they would be the official watch maker and timer of the Miami Heat, and here is the first Miami Heat watch. It is called the http://www.buyijoy.com/replica-breitling-navitimer.html King Power Miami Heat Chronograph and will be produced as a limited edition of 200 pieces.

I've lost count of the number of sizes and variations http://www.buyijoy.com/replica-breitling-aeromarine.html has released in the Superocean Heritage collection. The great looking diver range remains one of my favorites in the Breitling line-up, but there are so many versions I have a feeling the top brass at Replica Breitling Chronospace can't even name them all. So let's see what I know. The Superocean Heritage is/was available in 38mm, 42mm, 44mm, and 46mm wide sizes. It comes/came as a three-hander, three-hander with subsidiary seconds dial, and two chronograph versions. Then there are the oodles of dial and bezel color variations, and right there is where it gets really murky. For example you can get an all black version. A black dial with a green bezel. A green bezel with a green dial, and the list goes on. I guess Replica Breitling Bentley Super sports just wants to make sure there is a Superocean Heritage for just about everybody. So here is one more reason to check out the popular dive watch range. Seen here are two versions of the "Red Gold" collection. These versions of the Superocean Heritage (and regular Superocean) come with 18k red gold bezels and matching hands. What I like is that you get the two-tone watch treatment, but the prices aren't that much higher than the all steel models. Look pretty nice to boot. What you see here are 42 and 44mm wide versions of the Superocean Heritage. The 42mm wide version is a three-hander with a Breitling Caliber 17 (base Swiss ETA) automatic movement, while the 44mm wide version is the bi-compax chronograph version of the watch. A full three-counter version of the Superocean Heritage is available in the 46mm wide size (which also has a three-hand version). The Chronograph has the Breitling Caliber 22 automatic movement inside (which is a base Swiss ETA 7750). The bezel insert is impressively made and fits in with the tool watch demeanor of the piece. At the same time it does have a slightly more blingy look to it that I think enough people will enjoy. The 18k red gold insert is polished all around, while satinized sections are cut in at the five minute markers. Of course, as the piece is a diver, the bezel rotates. All Breitling Superocean Heritage models are water resistant to 200 meters. For a more "serious" dive watch experience they have plenty of other options. If the 46mm wide size is too large for you and the older 38mm wide size was too small, either the 42 or 44mm wide versions are probably just right. I so like the fit of them both, and agree with Breitling in offering a slightly different version of the chronograph in the 44 and 46mm wide sizes. While it might seem like an unnecessary addition, the 18k red gold bezel options are quite nice if you are looking for a more sophisticated look with the minimalist design that marks the Superocean Heritage line. The best part is that it still looks very much like a diver. It goes without saying that Breitling offers these on a range of straps from rubber, to leather, and of course the Classic Ocean bracelet which is an interesting and acquired taste. The Breitling Superocean Heritage Red Gold Chronograph retails for about $7,000 - $7,500 depending on the strap/bracelet.

am pretty sure that the official name of this new Replica Breitling Navitimer Classic Fusion model is the "Classic Fusion 42mm Classico Ultra-Thin Shiny Dial." Did replica Omega Planet Ocean really need to add that extra "Classico" part of the name and is "Shiny Dial" really a term that fits with a high-end watch? You can come to your own conclusion on that but don't let it cloud your judgement on what might be one of the most interesting new Classic Fusion models in a long time. In fact, I would go so far as to say that this is really a "modern classic" for Hublot.
It is easy to forget that a Hublot brand existed before it was purchased by Jean-Claude Biver back over a decade ago. In 2004, he released the Big Bang which fundamentally changed the nature of the brand forever. It was more or less bankrupt before that, but there were a lot of good things in the brand DNA that Mr. Biver evolved into what would be the epitome of the modern day luxury sport watch. While very much part of the modern collection, this new Classic Fusion 42mm Ultra-Thin reminds me of what http://www.buyijoy.com/replica-hublot-big-bang-king.html used to be - a dress watch brand with a smart case design that focused on simplicity and style.

Earlier this year at Baselworld 2013, replica omega Planet Ocean Chronograph revealed a reinterpretation of its highly regarded 1969 Seamaster Bullhead. Limited to only 669 pieces, demand is likely to outstrip supply.

Nearly 300 square metres - including a mezzanine for a more confidential salon lounge - completely dedicated to the world of replica hublot Big Bang Gold 44mm. Our boutique enjoys an ultra-prestigious address, since the premises on 62nd are part of a historic Madison house dating from the 19th Century, and which is situated in a block encompassing the grandest luxury houses. Developed according to the same concept as the replica hublot Big Bang Steel 41mm boutique in Paris' Place Vend?me, which opened a few weeks ago, the famous New Yorker star architect Peter Marino has reinterpreted the concept of fusion dear to the brand, using materials such as bronze, natural buckskin or ebony to convey a warm yet hushed atmosphere. The high ceiling, extending up to 6 metres, incorporates skylights to genuinely illuminate the walls, clad with buckskin and a fabric made-to-measure by the Swiss materials artist John M. Armleder. Art has a strong presence in this new fusion of materials, especially through the furniture, the lights created by artists highly rated by Peter Marino, the Dupré-Lafon period chairs or even the majestic stairwell. The ramp also has a hand-woven decoration, and the whole confers a touch of originality to a completely rethought and redesigned watch space. The innovative and technological touch dear to http://www.speedroc.com/replica-hublot-watches.html is represented by an unprecedented new large Raptor table made by Xavier Dietlin, the LCG Madison glasses which finely embellish the watch showcases, the spatial motors which enable you to view a watch from all angles, and finally a giant screen guided from Switzerland capable of broadcasting Hublot events live worldwide. Hublot is already present in the United States, with two exclusive boutiques in Miami - at Bal Harbour and Boca Raton. Opening soon in Beverly Hills and Las Vegas.
