Cheap Replica Watches from China

We’ve certainly seen no shortage of colorful and bold racing inspired watches this year – some more welcome than others. Continuing on that action comes TAG Heuer with the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Gulf Special Edition replica watch to commemorate Gulf Oil’s 1968 victory of Le Mans in France. Unveiled right before the 2018 Le Mans race, the retro-modern inspiration pulls design schemes and colors from the Ford GT 40 that won the race, and marks the 50th anniversary of the victory. And, of course, the color scheme is immediately reminiscent of their Monaco Gulf Special Edition watch, albeit at a considerably lower price point. I must admit, I have a soft-spot for TAG Heuer’s Formula 1 line. The CAU1111 (Panda Dial Chronograph) was my first experience with a “Luxury watch” and to this day I’ve never found one at a price I’m willing to pull the trigger on – so I have a bit of a historical emotional connection to the Formula 1 collection. I’ve found the line ideally quirky, practical, and int...

Hublot is no stranger to creating very big, very serious watches. Whether it’s something like the LaFerrari or "just" a titanium minute repeater, the manufacture can flex its muscles when it wants to. The Hublot MP-09 Tourbillon Bi-Axis replica watch is the latest instance of such a move. It’s the first multi-axis tourbillon from Hublot, and it’s in-house no less. When you first look at the MP-09, you know you’re looking at something complicated, and it’s obvious that your attention is supposed to be on that massive spinning thing down at the bottom of the watch. But, what’s not clear is all that’s going on under the surface and just how complex that impressive mechanism actually is. Movement The engine for this machine is the HUB9009.H1.RA caliber, and the watch was designed from the movement up. This caliber is an automatic movement with a five-day power reserve that is produced in-house by Hublot at its manufacture. At the heart of this movement is the bi-axial to...

When you are one of the largest watch retailers in the world, you can use this leverage to create your own limited edition watches. This is what Bucherer has been doing now for several years, with the Blue Editions – you probably guessed that all of these watches have a specific blue dial (see here for instance). Today, the watch retailer is presenting a special edition of the IWC Portugieser Chronograph Classic, in red gold and, of course, with a blue dial. This new 88-piece limited edition of the IWC Portugieser Chronograph Classic for Bucherer is obviously no more than a visual update of an existing watch, with a new case material and a new dial colour to be precise – which doesn’t prevent us to be pleased by this overall good looking watch. The base used is identical to the watch we reviewed extensively here, a watch launched in 2013 and that has been slightly revamped in 2017 (basically with a cleaner dial). It is named “Classic” in opposition to the standard (non-manufactur...
