Cartier Panthère Mysterieuse Womens Watch

Cartier Panthère Mysterieuse womens watch embodies two signature Cartier elements – the panther and the mystery movement, in which the hands are suspended between two sapphire crystals, driven by a movement that is out of sight, so the hands seem to be floating in the air. The panther on this watch is perched around the circumference of the bezel and appears to be stalking the dial. She is sculpted in 18k gold and set with 533 diamonds. Two pear-shaped emeralds form the eyes, and the spots are black lacquer www.captainthewatch.is.

The 40mm case is set with eight diamonds, the crown is set with 37 diamonds, and the buckle on the black alligator strap is set with 43 diamonds – all round brilliant-cut. The case is 8.50mm thick.

The Cartier Panthère Mysterieuse watch contains the manual-wound Caliber 9981 MC, with 158 components. It operates at 4Hz, with a power reserve of 48 hours. It is also available on a gem-set bracelet.

Clean Dial Rolex Cellini Time Watch 2016

Rolex Cellini collection consists of three basic models. These are the Cellini Time, Cellini Date, and Cellini Dual Time. The Cellini Dual Time (hands-on here) is the most complicated of the models and is the only dual-time watch from Rolex copies that indicates both time zones in 12-hour format (versus their GMT watches that indicate the second time zone in 24-hour format).

The case is similar to an Oyster, but a bit thinner and designed more for elegance versus sheer resistance to the elements. The Cellini case is 39mm wide and water resistant to 50 meters (versus the 100 meters of most Oyster cases - that aren't diving watches). Rolex Cellini Date 50519 received a lovely blue dial on the 18k white gold version, and the Cellini Dual Time 50525 had a "brown guilloche" dial option for the 18k Everose gold model. The Rolex Cellini Time 50505 received the most simple dial to date in both a 18k Everose gold as well as 18k white gold case.

Rolex Cellini Time replica remove the Roman numerals on the dial as well as the Rolex crown logo as the 12 o'clock hour indicator. Rather, the logo is moved to below 12 o'clock and applied facet-cut baton-style hour markers are used all around. Rolex gives 12 o'clock double markers to help visually orientate the dial for legibility.

Rolex-made automatic movements that operate at 4Hz (28,800bph) with about 48 hours of power reserve. Like all Rolex watches now, the Cellini models abide by the stricter "Superlative Chronometer" standards which are also known as "The Green Seal" certification.

Vacheron Constantin Métiers d’Art Year of the Rooster Watches

As is typical with Vacheron Constantin, the brand unveils two renditions of its Métiers d’Art “Legend of the Chinese Zodiac” watches – each holding the coveted Hallmark of Geneva, certification and each created using sculpture, enamel work and engraving. The hands-free watches are powered by the technically advanced mechanical Caliber 2460 G4, developed and manufactured in house by Vacheron Constantin. Time is read through four apertures: one each depicting hours, minutes, day and date in “jumping” format https://www.aomwatches.is.

The movement consists of 237 parts and offers 40 hours of power reserve. Inspired by the ancient Asian art of paper-cutting (Jianzhi), Vacheron Constantin aligns several artistic elements to depict a background of foliate on the dial – etched into the metal – from which the center sculpted 18-karat gold rooster stands strong.

Offered in either 18-karat white gold against a blue Grand Feu enamel dial, or in 18-karat rose gold against a copper-colored Grand Feu enamel dial, the rooster appears to be standing amid the foliate. A transparent sapphire caseback on the 40mm watch enables viewing of the movement. Just 12 pieces will be made of each version.

Chopard L.U.C XP Urushi Year of the Rooster Watch

Chopard turns to the ancient Japanese art of Urushi lacquer painting to portray its stunning Year of the Rooster concept – this year on an ultra-thin L.U.C watch. The stunning rendition of the rooster is amazingly colorful and texturally artistic –blending Japanese art and Swiss craftsmanship under one superb roof.   The lacquer used in this technique is taken from the sap of a tree – harvested skillfully only once a year and aged to perfection.

The material is quite difficult to apply and takes time and patience. In this rendition, the Urushi master paints within tiny mother-of-pearl outlines that enhance the iridescence of the rooster with its puffed out chest and vivid turquoise, golden and orange-hued tail feathers. He rests alongside a bed of eight gladiolas, which symbolize good luck. The dial is created in partnership with the Yamada Heiando, firm that is an official purveyor to the Japanese imperial family.

The L.U.C 96.17-L self-winding movement with micro rotor powers the ultra-thin watch, which has two barrels and ensures 65 hours of power reserve. Crafted in 18-karat rose gold the 39.5 mm watch is being created in a limited edition of just 88 pieces. Best cheap watches online, discover our affordable replica watches collection.

Glashütte Original Senator Cosmopolite Watch

Glashütte Original Senator Cosmopolite watch is a watch for the world traveller. Available in white and red gold, with a 44mm diameter case and a leather strap. No less than 37 different time zones can be tracked with this timepiece. Full hour ones, but also those of half hour and quarter hour offsets. Each of these time zones are indicated by the key international airport location codes (defined by IATA) https://www.captainthewatch.is/.

The dial is pretty straight-forward, with all of its specific (sub) dials and apertures. The 24 time zones that are aligned at full-hour offsets with GMT are presented by a black IATA airport code in the DST (daylight saving time) or STD (standard time) apertures (which one is applicable), the half hour offsets (10 in total) appear in blue and the quarter of an hour offsets (the remaining 3) in red.

Glashütte Original’s calibre 89-02 movement. It is a self-winding movement, with a de-centralized rotor. The movement is being operated with three crowns. Winding of the movement and setting the home time is done with the crown at 2 o’clock. Setting local time is done with the crown at 4 o’clock. With the crown at 8 o’clock you can set the IATA code. A small corrector at 9 o’clock in the caseband is there to correct the date. There are over 400 components in this movement.

De Bethune DB25 World Traveller Watch

De Bethune is perhaps the least known manufacture of the three in this article. De Bethune was founded by David Zanetta and Denis Flageollet in 2002 and ever since, they have been introducing spectacular designs combined with the highest form of fine watchmaking. The DB25 is considered to be the original classic De Bethune timepiece, for any kind of occasion. It comes in several variations, of which the reference DB25WTWs1 is this World Traveller watch https://www.twatchclone.ru/.

The DB25 case for the World Traveller has a 45mm diameter and is made of white gold. The typical De Bethune DB25 case has open lugs that are attached to the caseback. On the left side, there is a pusher at 8 o’clock, for use of the world timer function.
The De Bethune DB25 World Traveller looks very complicated at first sight, but it is actually a very easy-to-use timepiece. The dial contains a number of discs. From outside to the centre, the first disc indicates the date. A small arrow points towards the day. The next disc indicates the local time, with two nice blued hands. Then, if we look at the centre, we see a world time indicator. With a pusher in the case band, you can adjust the world time indicator. Around the world time indicator is a 24-hour scale and a small two-colour sphere that can be moved around. It indicates your home time or simply GMT. The sphere is also the day and night indicator, by using a dark and light colour.

The uncommon colour combinations of the dial and the finish of the discs and hands are simply stunning. The (3D) sphere with its two colours (blue and 5N pink gold) and the champagne and silver coloured discs give a great contrast with the blued hands, markers and rims.
