Audemars Piguet launches the Code 11.59 Grand Sonnerie Carillon Supersonnerie Two extraordinary watches showcase the brand’s most complex sonnerie mechanism

To celebrate its 150th anniversary, Swiss luxury watch brand Audemars Piguet launches five new models in the Code 11.59 collection. These include two highly complex models, the “Grande Sonnerie Carillon Supersonnerie”, which perfectly blend traditional craftsmanship, advanced technology and modern aesthetics. In addition, the Code 11.59 collection introduces a new perpetual calendar model equipped with a new movement developed in-house, a tourbillon model and two stainless steel models.

To celebrate this milestone, fake Audemars Piguet also launches new Royal Oak models, including two offshore models, a skeletonized version and two perpetual calendar models.

These watches elegantly combine precious materials such as black ceramic, rose gold and sand gold with modern materials. The dial takes center stage, with one watch made of rare opal and the other showing off the intricate mechanics of its movement through a transparent sapphire dial adorned with beautiful contrasting details. These masterpieces are driven by a manual-winding movement powered by a Supersonnerie mechanism that offers acoustic performance reminiscent of traditional pocket watches. This patented technology was developed in collaboration with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL).

Both watches have a case size of 41 mm and a thickness of 13.6 mm and feature a unique Code 11.59 design that combines straight lugs with a polished bezel. The first watch features a green dial and is crafted entirely in rose gold, while the second has an 18K aventurine case with a black ceramic middle case and crown. The casebacks of both fake watches are engraved with a special inscription commemorating the brand’s 150th anniversary.

The first watch features an 18-carat rose gold case topped with a rare “Harlequin” opal dial that radiates a vivid green glow. This natural gemstone is named after a famous character from a 16th-century Italian improvisational comedy known for his wit and colorful patchwork costumes. The dial is dotted with bright patches of green, blue, red and yellow, highlighting its uniqueness, and is accompanied by a gleaming green inner bezel. The 18-carat rose gold hands complement the polished case, which is engraved with the 150th anniversary emblem on the back.

The second watch features an 18-carat aventurine case with a black ceramic inner structure and crown. The transparent sapphire dial combines aventurine, black and grey tones for a modern, geometric appeal. This watch features a small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock, and the gold hands and hour markers are luminous to ensure optimal readability at all times.

Both “Grande Sonnerie Carillon Supersonnerie” models are powered by the manually wound 2956 calibre. This sophisticated movement combines the complications of the Grande Sonnerie and Carillon, as well as the patented Supersonnerie technology first introduced in the Royal Oak Concept RD#1 collection in 2015. Composed of 498 meticulously handcrafted parts, this innovative movement reflects Audemars Piguet’s commitment to the highest standards of craftsmanship and innovation.

The Grande Sonnerie mechanism strikes the hours and quarters automatically, without user intervention. The Carillon mechanism features three hammers and three gongs, producing a triple tone (high, medium and low) every quarter hour, rather than the traditional two. In addition, the “Petite Sonnerie” mode offers the option of striking only the hours, and can be completely silenced using the silent mode. In addition, the wearer can activate the minute repeater function on demand via the push-piece at 10 o’clock.

Supersonnerie technology was developed in conjunction with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) to improve acoustic performance and recreate the auditory experience of a classic pocket watch. This patented innovation took eight years to develop, involving watchmakers, engineers, musicians and acoustic experts. It achieves unique sound purity through an innovative case construction, in which the gongs are mounted on a special soundboard rather than directly on the movement mainplate. This enhances sound propagation, ensuring smooth and precise chimes when striking hours and minutes.

The opaline dial version is paired with a green alligator leather strap, while the skeleton dial version is paired with a black fabric strap, both secured with a gold folding clasp. http://www.moon-watch.co

HYT H0 Orange

HYT – An Exclusive Club
The club, as the name suggests, is exclusive. To join the club, you must have talent, experience or financial resources. The club of ultra-high-end super replica watches on sale owners is an elite society that requires enough financial freedom to buy the latest horological wonders.

I have never hidden my love for HYT watches, but I admit that these super-complex watches are expensive and worth every penny. However, the Swiss watch brand from Neuchâtel has now launched its most affordable watch, the H0.

The HYT H0 is available in three versions: black, silver and orange. The latter is the one I recently tried out, and I can say that it is quite stunning and probably my favorite HYT pump-action watch.

HYT H0 Orange Dial
As with other HYT models, the hours are indicated by the meniscus formed between two liquids inside a glass capillary. In this case, the colored liquid is black, while the other is colorless. The chemical reaction required to keep the two liquids stable is not insignificant. In fact, HYT scientists had to take into account UV rays, temperature, the adhesion of the liquid to the capillary walls, and countless other factors. I discuss the numerous technical implications in detail in my article “Behind the Scenes of the Preciflex”.

The H0 has a different look than other HYT models. The sapphire crystal is domed and wraps around the dial plane and sides. The hours are displayed in a 24-hour format on the upper part of the dial and on the sides.

While other HYT replica models partially cover the capillary near 6 o’clock, the H0 exposes the glass freely. Personally, I like to see the curved contour of the capillary here and feel that it adds to the aesthetic.

The bellows pump is partially visible through two holes, rather than being fully exposed like the H1 and H2 models. I’m a little curious what the H0 with an exposed bellows pump would look like, but I do like the vista presented regardless.

The small seconds display is located between 9 and 10 o’clock, and the main minute display is located below noon. The power reserve indicator is located between 2 and 3 o’clock, creating a certain degree of symmetry with the aforementioned small seconds display.

While I am a big fan of HYT and love the H1 and H2 models, the H0 looks simpler and easier to understand. Plus, the sapphire crystal is a nice touch. luxury Watches for sale

HYT H0 Orange Case
The H0 is a large watch, measuring 48.8mm in diameter and 17.9mm in case thickness. While these dimensions seem massive, the lack of lugs causes the trajectory of the strap to extend south and wrap around the wrist.

I found the watch to be incredibly comfortable to wear despite its large girth, further proving the wisdom of ditching the lugs.

The H0 redefines the case structure of a watch. The sapphire crystal curves downward to form the sapphire case on the vertical sides of the watch. Below the vertical surface of the sapphire crystal, the case extends outward to form two parts. The case shape is simple and lovely, but I think it may be more complicated than it looks.

HYT H0 Orange Movement
The caseback reveals the movement in action.

Interestingly, the H0 is powered by the same HYT Calibre 101 as the HYT H1 model. Firstly, this movement is tried and true, needless to say, and I have discussed it in detail in my previous article.

Secondly, despite its modern feel, the Calibre 101 does not shy away from traditional watchmaking. The bridges are decorated with a Côtes de Genève pattern and feature shiny bevels, while the gears are circular-grained. It is indeed a beautiful movement. discount replica watches

HYT H0 Orange

As mentioned before, the H0 is by far my favourite HYT model. I am mesmerised by its simple look.

A beautiful sapphire crystal envelops the dial and the upper part of the case. I suspect the complex shape of the sapphire crystal presents many technical challenges, but HYT, with its exceptional creativity and impressive expertise, has once again proven that it is able to use all the available grey cells to create another outstanding timepiece.

The movement is a known device that has served the brand well so far, having been initially used in the company’s first model, the H1. shopping replica watch

Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonlight Golden Moon Watch Personal Experience

zelin0802

Let me play among the stars.

Yesterday, Omega replica announced a series of new models in Miami, including the new Ultra Deep, two new colorways of the Aqua Terra series and the new generation Speedmaster ’57. For all of this (and more), we have stories of our own experience, but I want to start with my new favorite release: Speedmaster Moonwatch Moonshine Gold.

The last time I was in Miami was in the spring of 2019, when Omega showed off the first Speedmaster, Moonshine Gold, in its proprietary 18k yellow gold alloy. It’s a jaw-dropping tribute to the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11. And, as Speedy fans have pointed out, since then, Omega has updated its core steel Moonwatch collection with the 3861 Speedmaster Professional movement.

The watch you see here basically combines the above two steps of the Speedmaster series. The result is a fully bootlegged 3861 Speedmaster that joins the current ranks with Sedna and Canopus Gold Speedies. It’s easily my favorite precious metal Speedmaster trio.

For those who don’t know your proprietary brand alloy, Moonshine Gold was developed by Omega and launched in 2019 as a higher performance alternative to traditional 18k gold. Moonshine Gold uses a mixture of gold, silver, copper and palladium for a cooler and unique color than more common alloys, and its composition is designed to prevent the metal’s color and luster from fading over time.

The new Speedmaster Moonwatch Moonshine Gold (I’m going to choose the Moonshine Speedmaster because I’m not getting anything in return) is available in two dial styles with a matching gold bracelet or a lovely rubber strap. Moonshine gold dial with black subdials and decorations and black ceramic bezel, or PVD green dial with gold decorations and green ceramic bezel.

I’m a total sucker for gold when it comes to precious metal sports watches, and while I’m recorded as not being a huge Speedmaster guy, if we’re talking about gold it’s a whole different story. The Steel Speedmaster is undoubtedly an incredible watch with amazing pedigree, but for me, gold makes it all the more special, unusual and interesting.

Like the full-fledged 3861 model, the Moonshine Speedmasters are 42mm wide, 13.18mm thick and 47.5mm lug-to-lug. The 3861 is a hand-wound Co-Axial Master Chronometer that is METAS certified, runs at 3 Hz, offers a 50-hour power reserve, and has the same technical specifications as the 3861 Speedmaster we’ve seen in past iterations. Like most Speedmaster models, the Moonshine Speedmasters feature sapphire crystal on the front and sapphire glass on the back for display.

Of the two new models, if I found myself in such a wonderful predicament, I still don’t know which one I’d choose. The black and gold colorway of the Panda Edition is very classic to me, and it works just as well on a rubber strap as it does on a bracelet. But green is so dark and rich that it’s hard for me not to think it’s the more special and unique of the two. If you have a clear choice between the two, hit the comments and let me know why you prefer one or the other.

Speaking of bracelets and rubber straps, if you have the means to own one of these gold Speedies, I recommend getting both. The bracelet is simply fantastic. Mostly brushed, it’s thin, with rounded links that taper from 20mm at the lugs to 15mm at the clasp. The clasp isn’t particularly bulky, but thankfully, Omega managed to integrate a two-digit (2.3mm) extension on their buttons.

The rubber is thin and soft with minimal shape molding, it tapers to 16mm and flows nicely into the Moonshine Gold folding clasp. The tail runs underneath and the rubber feels comfortable. As an added lunar watch treat, the inside of the strap is decorated to look like the lunar surface around the lunar landing site.

What else is there to say? I’ll save the rest for these photos. Because the truth is, this Moonshine Gold is an aesthetic treatment with no real benefit over steel – it all depends on how it looks and how it makes you feel. Moonshine Speedy feels great for a collection launched against the bold and colorful backdrop of Miami.
