HYT’s Hype: Meet the Indie Brand’s First Millésime Editions

zelin0802

Nothing beats the look of a HYT fake watch, but the way the indie brand markets its timepieces is pretty unique, too.

At Geneva Watch Days 2024, indie brand HYT unveiled its first Millésime Edition models. Available in rich purple, green, and chocolate brown, these models are pared-down versions of the T1 collection, designed to evoke the fall and winter seasons.

HYT also took a page from the fashion world by launching these watches as a fall and winter collection, which brings us to the brand’s unusual marketing strategy: the three watches will only be available from September 2024 to the 2025 Watches & Wonders show, and are limited editions in time, not quantity.

With that in mind, let’s take a closer look at HYT’s new T1 collection Millésime Editions.

Seasonal Time
While HYT is known for its avant-garde style and innovative technology, the brand isn’t counting on this collection to set trends. For example: in French, “millésime” refers to the year in which the wine was produced. Therefore, the brand aims to produce “vintage wines” (a literal translation of the word “millésime”) with a long shelf life.

Furthermore, by launching two case variants—one in titanium and DLC titanium, the other in 5N gold and DLC titanium—the brand has chosen classic materials that never seem to go out of style. While the bold and stylish dial colors of the Millésime may not be enough to be described as “timeless,” we don’t think that’s why HYT chose these colors.

We think HYT chose these dials because if these colors become outdated in the future, these Millésime Editions will serve as a time capsule of this era of watchmaking, thus retaining their undeniable appeal.

The mechanism, visible through the sapphire caseback, is equally fascinating, with its manually-wound, 352-component 501-CM caliber guiding the fluid inside HYT’s signature fluid time display, which itself is powered by the brand’s two signature bellows.

Blinded by Science
The core pillars of the brand remain science, technology, haute horlogerie and design. However, it’s the way HYT has brought these elements together that makes these Millésime Editions stand out at the Geneva buy replica watches Fair.

Measuring 45.3mm in diameter and 17.2mm thick, the new T1 Millésime watches are definitely eye-catching, but these watches are more than just eye-catching. Apparently, the brand has also set out to use ergonomic research to make them more comfortable to wear.

For example, the octagonal case structure gives a very slender feel, while the fully enclosed dial creates a balance between the design elements, making it easier to read. Meanwhile, the dial color also adds a sense of warmth to the T1’s industrial design style.

Finally, to combine the iconic fluid time display mechanism with the stark design of these special editions of the collection, bright red fluid flows through the metaphorical veins of the chocolate and green models. The purple version has black fluid flowing through it.

With these thoughtful touches (including a domed crystal made of anti-reflective sapphire that feels like a UFO hovering above the dial), the new T1 Collection Millésime Edition combines a refined, distinctive and contemporary style with an undeniable presence and amazing comfort. http://www.moon-watch.co

Watches & Wonders 2024: Grand Seiko’s Latest Releases

zelin0802

The story of the cheap Grand Seiko Kodo Constant-Force Tourbillon unfolds with the depiction of the other side of light and shadow.

In 2022, Grand Seiko launched its first mechanical complication, the KODO Constant-Force Tourbillon, a revolutionary watch that, for the first time in the history of horology, combined a tourbillon and constant-force mechanism as a single unit, on a single axis. As such, it represented a major milestone in Grand Seiko’s history and was recognized by the international watchmaking community when it was awarded the Chronometer Prize at that year’s Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève. Today, the story of KODO unfolds with the launch of a limited edition watch inspired by dawn; its design perfectly complements that of the first watch.

While the first KODO watch represented dusk with a subtle interweaving of light and shadow, which is at the heart of the Grand Seiko aesthetic, the new watch uses light and shadow to evoke the feeling of dawn. The entire design emphasizes the subtle moment when the morning light begins to cover the sky. This watch completes a creation begun two years ago to depict light and shadow.

The movement components are finished in silver tones, giving the new Kodo a subtle and luminous look that highlights the intricate, layered parts of the structure. The beauty of the meticulously hand-polished components is even more evident in the new best replica watches. For the first time, blue sapphires are used as gemstones in a Grand Seiko watch movement, adding an unexpected detail that is in perfect harmony with the design. Carefully inspected and selected, the light blue sapphires are reminiscent of a beautiful dawn.

The skeleton design not only showcases the beauty of the hand-crafted movement, but the skeletonized spaces themselves are carefully designed to reflect an important Japanese cultural and aesthetic value, which is the respect for the use of empty space. The use of skeletonized space is also reflected in the lugs, which complement the case and add a sense of lightness to the design.

Subtle gradations of light are expressed through the use of different materials and various types of finishes. 950 platinum makes up the inner case of the watch, while hard titanium (twice as hard as stainless steel) makes up the outer case, making the exterior highly scratch-resistant. The combination of the two materials creates a natural gradation and a lasting beauty. Parts of the case made of two metals are Zaratsu polished to a distortion-free mirror effect, while other parts have a hairline effect. Each process is done by hand by highly skilled craftsmen to ensure elegant visual harmony from all angles.

Innovative 9ST1 Movement

The men cheap watch is equipped with the original 9ST1 movement, in which the constant force device and tourbillon are integrated into a single unit, located on the same axis. Since there are no gears or other parts between the two devices, there is no loss or change in the torque transmitted to the balance wheel by the constant force device, the life of the constant force device is approximately 50 hours, and the amplitude of the balance wheel is highly stable. These characteristics combine to create a highly stable precision of the movement.

In addition, Grand Seiko has set a constant force standard for Caliber 9ST1, in which each movement is tested for a full 48 hours in six positions and three temperatures, a duration twice that of Grand Seiko’s main standard and industry standards. Each movement is evaluated for 34 days to verify its accuracy.

The movement consists of approximately 340 parts, but more than 100 of them are housed in the “heart” of the movement, the integrated constant-force cage and tourbillon cage, which is approximately 10 mm in diameter. On the constant-force cage, a ruby ​​is placed on one of the arms that indicate the seconds.

This new watch shares the same hallmarks of the first KODO watch, namely the fusion of two mechanisms to create a dazzling visual and auditory effect. The inner tourbillon cage rotates while the balance wheel oscillates steadily at a frequency of eight times per second, and the outer constant-force cage follows its rotation at precise one-second intervals. The sound of the escapement and the pulse of the constant-force mechanism once per second harmonize with this visual rhythm, creating a deeply satisfying and reassuring heartbeat for the eyes and ears. This sound has a powerful yet soft appeal, set to sixteenth notes or sixteenths.

Exclusive white strap

The best cheap watch is paired with a leather strap made from an extremely durable material that has been specially treated in the same way as traditionally used in samurai armor. But this time, a new white strap has been developed specifically for the new Kodo. The white strap is tanned from natural materials and then carefully hand-painted with several layers of white lacquer to create a deep shine and unique texture. The watch also comes with a charcoal grey alligator strap.

This complex automatic is just one of the many engineering marvels of the Bugatti Tourbillon. The watch also features a 30-second flying tourbillon and a retrograde hours and minutes display designed to mimic a car’s tachometer, pushing horological technology to new heights.

The technical specifications of the Bugatti Tourbillon further underscore its status as the pinnacle of luxury watchmaking. The watch is powered by the JCAM55 calibre, a manually wound movement with a 48-hour power reserve and 557 parts. The V16 engine block automaton, constructed in transparent sapphire, adds a unique visual dimension to the watch. Meanwhile, the off-centre jumping hour and minute display provides a dynamic and visually engaging display. replica Patek Philippe Cubitus watches

With a 52 x 44 mm black PVD titanium case, four anti-reflective sapphire crystals and water-resistant to 30 metres, this watch is as durable as it is beautiful. The interchangeable black rubber strap with shutters and black PVD titanium folding clasp adds a modern touch to this watch.

Zenith DEFY Skyline CX in Action

zelin0802

A Tribute to Industrial Design


The Zenith DEFY Skyline CX marks our tenth collaboration, a milestone for us. For this important project, we returned to Zenith, a brand we first worked with. Over the years, Zenith has solidified its reputation for precision manufacturing and bold design choices, making it an ideal partner to celebrate our shared progress. In addition, we love the people at Zenith, who share our passion for watches and design and are genuinely kind people.

Back to square one
This collaboration seemed like a natural progression. Our first product with Zenith, the El Primero Chronomaster C.01, incorporated Silicon Valley’s minimalist design sensibilities into Zenith’s most iconic watch. With the CX, we’ve dug deeper into a design language that has influenced modern technology: 1970s industrial functionalism.

This design style is more than just an aesthetic choice, it also has historical significance for the DEFY collection. The Zenith DEFY collection was launched in 1969, predating other iconic stainless steel sports watches like the Royal Oak and Nautilus. By revisiting this period, the CX pays homage to the roots of the DEFY while offering a fresh perspective that fits seamlessly into the modern DEFY Skyline collection.

CASE CONSTRUCTION
The DEFY Skyline CX features a micro-blasted stainless steel case for a matte, almost stone-like finish. Polished details on the bezel edge and caseback accentuate this finish, creating contrast without appearing over the top. The result is a modern, industrial look that is both durable and sophisticated.

DIAL DETAILS
The matte silver dial features Zenith’s signature starry night pattern with a subtle gradient effect. This pattern adds texture and depth while maintaining the minimalist style of the design.

The time-only dial does away with the date window for a cleaner look. The tenth-of-a-second subdial, typically located at 9 o’clock on other DEFY Skyline models, has been moved to 6 o’clock to improve symmetry. The subdials feature orange accents, highlighting the number “10” to celebrate this being our tenth collaboration. replica watches price

Movement
At the heart of this watch is a modified El Primero movement, known for its high-frequency operation. In particular, this watch features a time-only version of the movement commonly used in the DEFY Skyline Skeleton collection (i.e. without date), allowing for a simplified and symmetrical dial layout to match the minimalist design.

Bracelet & Strap
Designed to be versatile, the watch comes with two strap options, both as standard:

The micro-blasted steel bracelet perfectly matches the case finish for a complete look
The orange rubber strap matches the orange accents on the dial, adding a bold, sporty touch to more casual occasions

Dimensions & Wearability
Case Diameter: 41mm
Case Height: 12mm
Lug-to-Lug: 46mm
These proportions make the CX suitable for a wide range of wrist sizes. The combination of the stylish case design and versatile strap ensures that the fake watches for sale can easily adapt to a variety of environments and atmospheres.

Blending in, standing out
What’s special about the CX is how naturally it fits into the DEFY Skyline collection. The industrial design feels like an extension of Zenith’s contemporary collection, rather than an external addition. This seamless integration is exactly what we strive for in every collaboration – a watch that both enhances the collection’s story and offers something new.

Despite the significant customization, the CX doesn’t feel over-engineered or over-engineered. The watch can stand out on its own within Zenith’s core collection, which we feel is the sign of a successful collaboration.

Zenith Launches Limited Edition Defy Extreme Jungle

zelin0802

Latest Chapter in the Extreme Collection: Wild Design of a High-Precision Chronograph

The Defy collection is one of Zenith’s most iconic watch collections, known for its bold design. Launched in the 1970s, the collection quickly gained recognition for its combination of durability and advanced mechanics. An important milestone in the history of the Defy collection was the introduction of the El Primero chronograph movement, first introduced in 1969. Over the years, the collection has evolved, keeping up with the evolution of watchmaking technology while retaining its iconic design and bold personality. Zenith has launched several versions of the collection, including the “Revival A3648” replica watches for sale. Today, we present the latest “Extreme Jungle” watch, which is inspired by the forest and the stripes and colors of the tiger.

The watch features a 45mm diameter and 15.4mm thick titanium case with brushed edges and polished bevels on the case sides and bezel, highlighting its bold beauty.

What really sets this watch apart is the use of Tiger Eye on the chronograph pushers and the 12-sided bezel, adding a unique touch of nature. The watch is water-resistant to 200 meters thanks to its screw-down crown. Sapphire crystal protects the dial and movement, making it durable enough for both daily wear and more extreme conditions. replica Breitling Avenger

The dial of the watch is a prime example of bold design. The skeletonized green sapphire crystal creates a jungle-like background that complements the multi-layered structure of the dial. The three subdials, framed by orange and black tiger stripes, further emphasize the animal theme, with the 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, the 60-second totalizer at 6 o’clock, and the small seconds at 9 o’clock.

Above the central hand, the linear power reserve indicator is neatly arranged. The dial also features a peripheral 1/100-second chronograph track, rhodium-plated hour markers, and hour and minute hands, which are all filled with beige Super-LumiNova for enhanced readability in low-light environments. The central chronograph seconds hand is decorated with a star-shaped counterweight, which adds a unique touch to the design. best replica watches

This watch is equipped with the in-house El Primero 9004 movement, a high-performance chronograph movement that combines precision and functionality. It has a double regulating organ, one mechanism dedicated to chronographs at a frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour (5 Hz) and another mechanism for chronographs at a frequency of up to 360,000 vibrations per hour (50 Hz), which can achieve an impressive 1/100 second accuracy. The movement consists of 293 components and ensures a minimum power reserve of 50 hours.

Comes with a titanium bracelet, a green rubber strap (titanium folding clasp) and a black Velcro strap.

Introducing the Audemars Piguet x Kaws Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon ‘Companion’

zelin0802

Twenty

Audemars Piguet fake has a history of incorporating pop culture concepts into its ultra-high-end Royal Oak Concept platform. Perhaps most famously (or infamously) over the past few years, our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, as well as the King of Wakanda, have appeared on the dials of Concept Tourbillons, all in partnership with Marvel. This time around, Audemars Piguet has teamed up with Brooklyn-based artist Kaws to create a fresh interpretation of the Concept Tourbillon with the artist’s iconic character designs.

Kaws, whose real name is Brian Donnelly, rose to fame in the late 1990s with his graffiti interventions in New York City, eventually making a name for himself in the contemporary pop art world with toy creations inspired by his street art aesthetic.

Most notable is Kaws’ Companion character, a skull and crossbones image modeled after a famous rubber hose cartoon mouse, which you’ve no doubt seen in many forms – from vinyl toys to numerous apparel collaborations with brands like Nike and Uniqlo, to name a few.

Now, Audemars Piguet has incorporated the Companion character into the Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon, featuring the iconic skull, gloves, and, of course, X-shaped eyes. In this version, the Companion appears to be peering out from behind a sapphire crystal, with the Companion’s gloves and face sculpted to make the character appear to be clinging to the glass. Made entirely of brushed and sandblasted titanium, the character sits atop a sunburst brushed titanium dial, with the tourbillon cage itself visible from its chest. The skull’s X-shaped eyes are painted grey. replica watches usa

Unlike other character-oriented concept tourbillons we’ve seen, this time the character at the center of the dial is not obscured by the hour and minute hands. For this version, Audemars Piguet has introduced a new peripheral time display featuring titanium hour and minute hands set on roller-guided gears. The inner titanium bezel has five-minute markings, and both the markers and hands are luminescent.

Driving the new outer bezel time display is the new manual-winding Calibre 2979, which features a 60-second tourbillon and a frequency of 3Hz. The movement bridges are treated with black PVD as another nod to the artist, and the movement ratchets are skeletonized with another Kaws X motif. The Audemars Piguet logo and other text are laser-engraved and painted white for contrast.

Although similar in appearance, the case of this concept tourbillon is slightly larger than the 42mm Spider-Man and Black Panther concept tourbillons, at 43mm. Like the other 43mm Royal Oak Concept models, this case also has some angular inserts added to add more contrast to the already faceted titanium case. The crown is made of black ceramic, and the caseback is printed with Kaws’ signature and the words “Limited to 250 pieces.” Holding all the parts of the case together are eight hexagonal “screws”, marked, of course, with Kaws’ trademark “X”.

The mens replica watch is paired with a dark grey calfskin strap and a slate grey calfskin strap, both embossed with a textile pattern.

Well, see. I’m the kind of person who goes to Comic-Con every year, finds a booth that’s always full of Kaws dolls, and stands in front of it for half an hour, wondering if I’ve ever paid as much for a second-hand cartoon doll with an X on its hand as I did for a Rolex. The answer is no, but dreams can come true. So I’m not surprised to hear me say that this collaboration makes me very happy.

If you’re not into modern consumerist art like Kaws, then it’s safe to say that this watch may not be for you. But in a world where both watch and toy collectors can spend a disproportionate amount of their income on collecting sought-after items, and where some works by artists like Kaws fetch millions of dollars at auction, it’s only natural that the 250 watches being produced will find buyers, just as the Marvel collaboration did at this price point. For a die-hard Kaws collector whose home is undoubtedly filled with art and sculptures, adding the artist’s touch to the watch seemed like the final break – finally, they have a rare edition they can wear with them.

From a concept standpoint, I really think this collaboration was well done. Compared to the Marvel collaboration, Kaws’s art and AP’s watchmaking seem to complement each other this time around. The engraving of the titanium Companion complements the shape of the watch and is very self-aware and unique. The metal figure also serves another purpose, as I usually associate most Companion figures with vinyl or wood. The texture and contrast of the brushing and sandblasting here works well and gives it a fresh feel.

Audemars Piguet is undoubtedly developing this new movement with a peripheral time display with the intention of using it as a platform for future character-centric collaborations, whether with Kaws or not. It’s a much better system for these designs than a traditional mobile, so I’m curious to see what other artists or pop culture properties Audemars Piguet might collaborate with in the future. But for now, this Le Brassus and Brooklyn piece will be the one to watch.

A Closer Look at the Avant-Garde Zenith Defy Revival A3648, Rekindling the ‘Anything is Possible’ Spirit of 1969

zelin0802

Zenith has once again dug deep into its archives and is back with the Defy Revival A3648 dive replica watches for sale.

1969 was a pivotal year for Zenith. The Manufacture launched the El Primero automatic chronograph, which would become one of the most influential movements of all time. In addition to this landmark feat, Zenith also launched the powerful Defy collection that same year. This series of sporty watches featured an unprecedented design, with an octagonal case and a 14-sided bezel. In recent years, Zenith has been experimenting with the historical blueprint of the original Defy and recreating it stylishly in the Defy Revival collection. Following a series of time-and-date models, it was time for the Defy Revival to go even further. The result? The avant-garde Zenith Defy Revival A3648, based on the 1969 original.

As mentioned above, the Defy collection was first introduced in 1969 with several time-and-date watches, in addition to a 600-meter water-resistant diver’s watch called the Defy Plongeur. At the time, it was known as “The Vault” for its ultra-robust construction, a feature that has been retained in this new version that is faithful to the original.

The first models were already quite impressive when they were first released, but even today, their design remains very expressive and attractive. In the Defy Revival series, Zenith has taken a step forward by directly recreating the original Defy concept, starting with the A3642, A3691 and A3690, which feature gradient brown, red or turquoise dials. This was followed by the Defy Revival Shadow Titanium, which took a looser approach to the Revival concept, and now this one. best fake watches

Launched alongside the very modern Defy Extreme Diver, this new Defy Revival A3648 faithfully recreates the look of the 1969 original. The exterior is a 1:1 recreation of the original, which means we’re looking at a 37mm x 15.5mm stainless steel case. The octagonal base is topped by a 14-sided rotating bezel with an orange sapphire inlay. The screw-down crown is located at 04:30 and the watch is water-resistant to 600 meters, just like the original.

The dial has a deep black center surrounded by a wide orange chapter ring. The hands and hour markers are shaped exactly like the 1969 version and are generously coated with Super-LumiNova to improve readability in low-light conditions. The date window interrupts the minute track at 04:30, just like the original.

Under the sapphire crystal caseback, the Zenith Elite 670 movement roars, a movement that also appears in other Defy Revival models as well as the elegant Elite series (obviously). This automatic movement is produced in-house by Zenith and beats at 28,800vph. The power reserve is up to 50 hours, driven by a semi-skeletonised rotor, and the Zenith star logo is clearly visible.

While other Defy Revival models come with the iconic trapezoidal bracelet, the Defy Plongeur and Defy Revival A3648 do not. Instead, it has a five-link bracelet with solid links and a folding clasp with a diving suit extension, modelled after the original bracelet designed by Gay Frères in 1969.

If this vintage style isn’t your cup of tea, the rugged Defy Extreme Diver might be a good choice. This watch takes the spirit of the original Defy Plongeur in a more modern direction. Either way, both watches are great for diving! It may not be for everyone, but in my opinion, saying they lack originality would be a serious disservice to the collection.
