From Rolex to TAG Heuer, here are the brands that caught our eye at Watches & Wonders 2024.
It’s the most prestigious event in the horologist’s calendar – and for an industry centered around timekeeping, you certainly can’t miss Watches & Wonders 2024. replica watches
Although Watches & Wonders Geneva 2024 only opened to industry professionals, journalists and VIPs on Tuesday morning, it’s proving to be an exciting event. With 54 of the industry’s biggest names set to attend, eight of whom are making their first trip to the Swiss capital, Watches & Wonders is set to be the biggest yet.
The professional show will run until April 13, with public access for three days until April 15, with each brand showcasing exciting watches expected to be launched next year.
Rolex
There’s a reason why Rolex is the most eye-catching exhibit at Watches & Wonders year after year, and the legendary watchmaker proved it at this year’s presentation. Among the many new releases, Rolex released six new replica watches for sale, including a more casual GMT-Master II, a dressier Daytonas, and an all-gold Deepsea.
It should have been hard to pick just one to showcase: until we discovered the Perpetual 1908. A new addition to the collection introduced last year, the Perpetual 1908 is crafted in 950 platinum and features a striking ice blue dial with a guilloché rice grain pattern.
Patek Philippe
Blue seems to be going strong in 2024, and Patek Philippe has done well, so it’s no wonder that this year’s collection has seen some modest tweaks to its timeless classics. Perhaps the most notable change comes with the Patek Philippe Ref. 5980 60G Aquanaut Flyback Chronograph, which comes with an ultra-casual denim strap. Don’t expect the strap to fray like the crotch of cheap jeans, though. Hand-woven denim is attached to premium calfskin, so you won’t be back at the studio any time soon.
The blue-grey dial pairs perfectly with the strap, while the white gold case makes this a supremely quiet luxury timepiece.
Hermès
When Hermès unveiled the H08 in 2021, the brand nonchalantly described it as a sports watch, despite looking like one. But that won’t be the case at Watches & Wonders 2024. Instead, the brand will unveil a new range of sports watches, powered by mechanical movements and aimed at women.
The name “Cut” for this 36mm model comes from the polished slices on the side of the case, reflecting the brand’s love of minimalist and strong design. best replica watch site
The Hermès Cut is available in pure steel or an elegant two-tone mix of steel and rose gold, and is also available with 56 diamonds for an added touch of luxury.
In keeping with Hermès’ usual versatility, wearers can personalize their watch on a daily basis, with the choice of a metal bracelet or other rubber strap, in eight signature Hermès colors.
Zenith
The much-anticipated release of the latest iteration of its Defy Skyline collection for 2021 has been unveiled by Zenith with the launch of the Defy Skyline Chronograph. Bringing an edgier, more modern aesthetic to the original case design, the new watch features a 41mm stainless steel case in the iconic octagonal shape with a faceted bezel.
While the dial colors are available in metallic black, metallic blue, or metallic silver, the collection’s signature starry sky pattern dial and four-pointed star engraving remain. So too does the traditional El Primero dial configuration, with three oversized overlapping counters at 9, 3, and 6 o’clock.
The watch features the El Primero 3600 1/10 second chronograph movement with a silicon escape wheel and a 60-hour power reserve. knock off watches
Vacheron Constantin
Vacheron Constantin unveils the world’s most complicated watch, a record previously held by the brand itself. The Berkley Grand Complication is a pocket watch that contains 63 horological complications and 2,877 parts, including, among other records, the world’s first Chinese perpetual calendar.
Due to the complexity of the Chinese perpetual calendar (months and years are of different lengths), the watch took 11 years to develop, including one year to assemble the 2,877 hand-finished and hand-assembled parts. The finished watch, made of 18K white gold with a dial on each side of the case, weighs just over two pounds (0.96 kg).
Van Cleef & Arpels
Van Cleef & Arpels never fails to showcase the latest creations in its Poetic Complications collection. The Lady Arpels Brise d’Été celebrates the freshness of a summer morning and at first glance resembles an enchanting scene of summer flowers and butterflies, with a 38 mm diameter case that packs a majestic presence.
The automatic on-demand movement also animates the dial, with two openwork enamel butterflies flying across it at the touch of a button, while blue Walloon enamel flowers sway in the background as if blown by the wind. Diamonds, tsavorite garnets, spessartites and white mother-of-pearl set in 18K white gold add to the allure.
TAG Heuer Monaco
To mark the 55th anniversary of the Monaco, TAG Heuer unveils the Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph. The signature feature of this new watch is the split-seconds chronograph, which can time two events that start simultaneously but end independently – useful, for example, in a car race.
The split-seconds hand and titanium dial arch pay homage to the 1969 original, while the two colours offered – Sporty Red and Classic Blue – are inspired by the original colours of the Monaco chronograph.
Panerai
Swiss watchmaking may have dominated the exhibits at this year’s Watches & Wonders, but luxury watchmaker Panerai is proudly putting Italian excellence in the spotlight with its new Luna Rossa collection. In honour of and indicative of the brand’s long-standing partnership with the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli sailing team, Panerai’s new collection incorporates cutting-edge technology and embodies the performance of this elite and revered sport.
The Submersible Tourbillon GMT Luna Rossa Experience – PAM01405 is a beast of a watch in its own right. Equipped with a four-day power reserve, it can submerge to 980 feet.
Chopard
Chopard puts its artistic prowess on full display with the 18-carat white gold Imperiale. Refined and luxurious, this watch measures 36mm in diameter and features a diamond-studded dial with diamonds, sapphires and mother-of-pearl.
The vivid turquoise enamel serves as the perfect dark background against which the floral motif in turquoise and white enamel is embellished. Of course, looks aren’t everything, as the Imperiale is driven by a self-winding micro-rotor movement with twin barrels that provide a 65-hour power reserve. buying replica watch
Ulysse Nardin
The latest from Ulysse Nardin, the Freak S Nomad, is both unconventional and conventional in many ways, a bit of a paradox. Limited to 99 pieces, this limited edition watch is eye-catching with its unique movement that at first glance evokes a fantasy spaceship, but a quick glance at its technical details reveals that this is a representation of haute horlogerie.
Like its previous Freaks, the S Nomad still has no dial, hands or crown, but instead reveals the three-dimensional charm of the UN-251 movement behind a sapphire crystal. The result is a whirlwind combination of 18th- and 21st-century watchmaking techniques, fused in one singular machine.
