There are a lot of new ‘effing cheap CA replica watches to see and we certainly saw a lot. Below, the editorial team picks their favourites.
Russell’s pick: Replica TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph Watches
This is not the type of watch I normally go for. I have built a bit of a reputation for slim, classical, dress watches that place refinement and elegance above all else. But when a brand’s personality, history and capabilities are so well captured in one place, it is very hard for me to ignore. Before I am a watch lover, I am a lover of a good story and the high quality fake TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph watches, to me, is the physical embodiment of the brand TAG Heuer is today.
The racing history, with a constant presence in the world of motorsport paired with the current ability of the company’s personnel and image have coalesced into what we see here. A wonderfully complex, aesthetically modern, yet conceptually old, racing luxury copy watches that signals perfectly what TAG Heuer stand for now and in the future. Openly bringing in the expertise of Vaucher shows maturity at the leadership level, despite having the talented Carole Forestier-Kasapi as Movement Director, they knew that to pull off this company first at such an impressive level would require external assistance.
Yes, this is prohibitively expensive, but a brand like TAG Heuer needs a watch at this level to show exactly what it is capable of, and act as a concept car would for a company such as Mercedes. You will never get to drive it, but once you shift down in your E-Class, you know that some of that technology is powering you down the Autobahn. This is exactly the same. While I may well be a long way off owning a split-seconds from TAG Heuer, I can take some comfort in knowing that my “run-of-the-mill” Skipper was designed and built with the same level of care and expertise that created this glass box horological racing machine. And that is a story I can’t do justice in words.
Andrew’s pick: Fake IWC Portugieser Hand-Wound Tourbillon Day & Night Watches
Out of all of the new Portugieser releases, the stand outs, for me, were the obsidian dial models due to the effect of their multiple black lacquer treatments. I’ve never seen a black dial so deep and so mysterious, and the way that they’ve been paired with gold cases… I just find the contrast absolutely intoxicating. The best of all the obsidian models is no doubt the Swiss made replica IWC Portugieser Hand-Wound Tourbillon Day & Night watches – and it’s not because of the flying tourbillon at 6′ which brings a touch of high horology to the Portugieser. It is its very minimal, elegant, and aesthetically pleasing day/night indicator in the form of a golden sphere that has black on one side and gold on the other. And as it rotates you beautifully and three-dimensionally get a legible and simple indication of whether it is night or day based on the amount of black or gold that is visible.
The beauty of the story, as well, is that it was an idea put forward by an apprentice. By a young watchmaker. Their idea was not only heard, but actually actioned and implemented. I just think it is such a great credit to IWC that they’re hiring innovative young watchmakers, and if their ideas are deserving, that they’re going all the way through to the final product. There’s obviously something of a meritocracy at IWC with their next wave of watchmakers. It’s an absolutely stunning piece ‘in the metal’ and I think few AAA online super clone watches will impress you as much in hand as this watch and the obsidian-dialled range as a whole.
Oh, last thought: this Hand-Wound Tourbillon Day & Night has a little trick up its sleeve that’s worth having an extra look at. As a bonus, you get to see this rotating sphere as well through the open caseback… And these casebacks put the OPEN in open caseback. They are so open that looking at the movement feels like you are staring at, truly, a widescreen 4K caseback like you’ve never seen before.
Pietro’s pick: Cartier Crocodile Jewellery Replica Watches
During the past week, I’ve had the chance to be hands-on with many of the releases – both within Palexpo and outside of it. While having touched many of them, and being exposed to the digital version of countless others, the ones I really remember are those I had the pleasure to handle. Playing with the light and seeing how shadows and reflections change is the only way to fully understand and enjoy a watch – and between all of them, one really stood out and, in all honesty, I was pretty surprised it did.
I think I’ve got a pretty conservative taste regarding perfect fake watches I like – they are usually thin, elegant timepieces with clean dials, and usually manual winding, too. Well, this Cartier definitely doesn’t check any of those boxes. because it’s a triumph of shapes, stones, colours and the cherry on top: it’s quartz. Oh, and it doesn’t fit my wrist at all. I can’t even close the alligator strap. I feel words don’t give this watch (is it even a watch? Probably better to call it an artwork) justice. The rounded white gold case serves as a canvas for the meticulously cut mother of pearl, gemstones, and enamel scales of the white gold sculpted crocodile encrusted with diamonds.
As you probably can see it’s one of the only mentions in this article that just has press pictures, and not because we didn’t see it in person. Between Borna, Jamie and I, we were so mesmerised by the beauty of this watch that we completely forgot to take pictures while handling it for a considerable amount of time. Would I get this wholesale 2024 Cartier replica watches? Probably, if the price was not in the six-figure territory. Would I wear it? Probably not. But who cares? I could stare at this thing forever…
