Mont Blanc Nicolas Rieussec Monopusher Chronograph Open Date

The Montblanc Star Nicolas Rieussec Monopusher Chronograph is available in limited edition, in either 18k white, yellow or red gold and 950 platinum.

The Montblanc Monopusher Chronograph case is 43 mm in diameter and comes in either gold or platinum. Inside is a fully decorated hand-wound movement, visible through a sapphire caseback. The movement features twin barrels, good for 72 hours of power reserve. An open date wheel at the top of the dial indicates the numerical day of the month. Below are two chronograph counters, one for chronograph seconds and one for chronograph minutes. The central hands indicate hours and minutes.

The chronograph function is controlled by a classic column-wheel, with a vertical, almost wear-free disc clutch. As a result, the chronograph function can remain permanently switched on. The best part about this chronograph, is that it only utilizes one pusher. And instead of engineering the pusher into the crown, like this one and this one, a separate pusher at 8 o’clock is used for start, stop and resetting of the chronograph. The first press starts the second disc, the second press stops the measured time, which can then be read from the second disc and the 30-minute counter. The third press resets the two discs to zero and prepares the replica watches for the next time measurement.

Background: Earlier this year Montblanc introduced their first in-house caliber, the MB R100. They named it after the inventor of the chronograph, Nicolas Rieussec. Rieussec’s technique of two rotating discs provided the inspiration for the design of the new chronograph.

Audemars Piguet – Ladies’ Jules Audemars collection

Audemars Piguet – Ladies’ Jules Audemars collection

the Ladies’ Jules Audemars  in white or pink gold case combined a diminutive size, revamped dials and moiré satin straps. Inspired replica watches for women with a flair for the finer things in life that never go out of style.

Mechanical sophistication
These days, women no longer choose their watch merely for its beauty or slenderness; they also appreciate the sophistication of a mechanical movement. The Ladies’ Jules Audemars collection is distinguished by its exclusive hand-wound calibre complete with small seconds. Gazing through the sapphire crystal caseback, the quality of the finishing can be admired at leisure, every time the wearer wishes to contemplate the beating heart of our timepiece. The pleasure of owning a watch embodying such a wealth of horological expertise is heightened by the fact that the movement is fitted into such a delightful little case.

Natural elegance
Some women never flaunt their jewellery in a showy way, preferring to cultivate a more secretive relationship with the objects that embellish them from day to day. The new Jules Audemars collection is entirely in tune with this desire for intimacy. In these models, classicism is anything but static or depressing, instead expressing an inner strength capable of finding its way through the years without a wrinkle. It goes well beyond daily contingencies to assert itself as a form of natural elegance. Through its harmonious shapes and magically balanced proportions, the new Ladies’ Jules Audemars collection achieves the enviable status of a real “classic” and exercises a truly universal appeal.

Gentle harmony
Its petite 29 mm case sits perfectly on even the daintiest wrists, while its dials have been entirely redesigned. Available on silver-coloured or white mother-of-pearl versions, they feature an hour circle punctuated with Roman numerals, while the centre is graced with either a spiral flinqué or diamond-pavé motif. The small seconds at 6 o’clock adds a majestic touch to the overall visual effect.

Paying splendid tribute to feminine beauty, the Ladies’ Jules Audemars collection is available in several different versions. The first is elegantly understated and the absence of gem-setting accentuates the perfection of the white or pink gold case, as well as the purity of the dial with its unusual design. The second is adorned with a gem-set bezel echoing the small seconds dial, itself adorned with diamonds. The third extremely chic variation features entirely gem-set cases, a mother-of-pearl dial with a pavé centre and an ultimate touch of refinement in the shape of a crown adorned with a rose-cut diamond. From the simplest interpretation to the more elaborate models, these replica watches
are fitted with shimmering straps in chocolate brown for pink gold cases and black or midnight blue for white gold.

Audemars Piguet End of Days watch

Audemars Piguet End of Days watch
The Swiss luxury watch company Audemars Piguet launched a limited edition watch called Audemars Piguet End of Days. It’s developed from the Royal Oak Offshore, made to order for Arnold Schwartzeneger for the movie of the same name.

The Audemars Piguet End of Days watch is coated with PVD and bearing distinct yellow hands and a vinyl strap, the End of Days (or EOD) is quite celebrated and can be found retailing for over $40,000. It’s quite expensive for those with average income. The good news is Marie’s Best Watch (MBW ), a high-end replica manufacturer, has alreday begun producing examples of this watch. So we can buy the Audemars Piguet replica watch.

These replica Audemars Piguet End of Days watches are also coated with PVD (although it’s yet to determined how thick the coating is) and also have managed to imitate most of the key features of the original watch, such as the yellow hands and the under-the-crystal date magnifier.

However, you can find some noticable flaws in the replica watch including the incorrect functions of the sub-dial because of the use of a standard high-beat (28,000 bph) copy of the ETA 7750 chronograph movement. On genuine End of Days, the seconds subdial is at the 12 o’clock position. The replicas follow the position of the 7750, putting the second hand at the 9 o’clock spot. Dial quality looks very close, but we’ll have to wait until we can examine one in detail.

Despite the flaws, the Audemars Piguet replica watch is still quite worth of buying. After all, they look almost the same as the real Audemars Piguet watch but cost only a fraction of the money.

Angular Momentum Belle époque Watch

Angular Momentum Belle époque Watch

Exotic feathers and furs were more prominently featured in fashion than ever before, as haute couture was invented in Paris, the center of the Belle époque, where fashion began to move in a yearly cycle; in Paris restaurants such as Maxim‘s achieved a new splendour and cachet as places for the rich to parade. And the Opéra Garnier devoted enormous spaces to staircases as similar show places.
Bohemian lifestyles gained a different glamour, pursued in the cabarets of Montmartre.

The style of this age, sometimes referred to as the ?Garland Style,“ appears to be the continuation of the goldsmith tradition of the 18th century. Delicate openwork designs captivated jewelers‘ attention. The introduction of platinum as the principal material in the jewelry making process made lightweight designs possible. Platinum was often used in the form of fi nely beaded millegrain or narrow knife wire settings to create the illusion of lightness. The monochrome look of diamonds and platinum became predominant, as the metal enhanced the radiance of diamonds.

Graceful jewelry decorated with openwork garland, lace, tassel, and bow motifs was worn in abundance. Pearls were another favorite of this period. Long strings of pearls were worn in combination with hokers and lavaliers. Popular stones of the period were sapphires, peridots, chrysoberyls, and amethysts. Smaller novelty, sporting, and bar brooches were worn during the day.

Angular Momentum‘s new timepiece combines modern watchmaking with the traditional jewelry craft and the unique design of the Belle époque period.

Time Gallery ?Belle époque“
41.00 mm 18 Kt. white gold case with pavé setting of TW VVS diamonds with an 18 Kt. openwork circular shaped medallion of foliate design. Aperture for the digital hours at 12 o’clock. Medallion set with brilliant cut diamonds, old European-cut and mine-cut diamonds of various size, enhanced by millegrain decoration over black sapphire crystal.
