Fifty years ago, Gérald Genta designed the iconic Royal Oak for Audemars Piguet. Now AP and Wristcheck are giving you the chance to put your own mark on this classic – they’ve launched a design contest, and each winner, pending the feasibility of their designs, could get his or her creation made into actual replica watches for sale.
Break out your pens and pencils, fire up your Photoshop and don’t forget to renew your passport, because the winner is going to Switzerland.
When I first heard about this contest, I didn’t really believe it. Austen Chu of watch platform Wristcheck tried to tell me about his plan earlier this year at the Bjarke Ingels-designed Hotel des Horlogers in Le Brassus. I encouraged him despite my lack of faith, but ultimately filed it in the “cool ideas that will never happen” drawer of my brain, along with bottomless martinis and pain-free Bottega Veneta boots. I’m still waiting for those last two things. But the AAA US fake Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watches design contest is very much happening.
The “Your Take On The Royal Oak” competition, which launches today, is open to anybody who is willing to submit a design. There are no limitations when it comes to colors, materials, and complications. Everything must be done, however, within the framework of the iconic octagonal shape. This is still perfect replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watches competition – no coloring outside of the Genta lines, please. Three winning designs will be chosen by Chu and François-Henry Bennahmias, the CEO of Audemars Piguet.
“In today’s world we can look at welcoming talent, passion, engagement and commitment from everywhere,” Bennahmias told me. “And we know that the new generation is very keen on these types of things. What better way than the 50th anniversary of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak copy watches wholesale to involve people, young and old, to potentially give us the idea of the century.”
The competition came about through a Zoom conversation between Chu and Bennahmias recorded for the Wristcheck YouTube channel back in February of this year. “We could actually launch a worldwide contest or survey to see what information people want to see on their luxury replica watches,” Bennahmias said at the time. He goes on: “Let’s do this, let’s do this as we speak right now. You are going to be absolutely bombarded. Good luck, Austen.”
This move felt very Bennahmias: bold, freewheeling, and totally within the spirit of 2022 Audemars Piguet replica watches. It was also characteristic of Chu, 25, who is in tune with the watch collecting community and understands what drives a new and younger demographic of collectors. “This is an incredible initiative for the community,” Chu says in the YouTube clip. “The future of luxury is in transparency and experience. Everybody just wants to feel involved in the process.”
The idea is to democratize watchmaking, to allow creative agency in a space which is usually kept tucked away in the impenetrable confines of the Swiss mountains.
To my mind, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak super clone watches shop site – especially contrasted with some of its competitors – stays forever young because AP recognizes the need for forward motion. Upon its release a half-century ago, the Royal Oak set the standard for rebellion in watch design – it was a ‘lifestyle’ watch designed during a tumultuous time of anti-luxury and anti-establishment. Bennahmias has retained this spirit by fostering relationships with athletes and musicians, and creating an intersection between serious watch culture and youth culture long before it was commonplace in horology.
Chu very much understands the 1:1 fake watches zeitgeist and Audemars Piguet’s leading role within it. “If watch nerds (like myself) want the hobby to be accepted by the masses,” Chu says. “They need to accept that aesthetic is priority. Everything else comes later.”
The competition is open to everyone. Participants can submit their entries by downloading a template on the competition website. The competition runs from October 6 to November 6. You can submit as many entries as you wish before the deadline. Three winners will be announced on November 15th, and will be flown to Le Brassus, Switzerland for a complete Audemars Piguet Experience. Best replica Audemars Piguet watches will decide whether to produce the designs, pending feasibility, as a pièce unique or series.
Audemars Piguet just announced three new variations of the Code 11.59 collection, demonstrating the Swiss watchmaker’s dedication to the line as it celebrates the Royal Oak’s 50th anniversary. The three different just-released Code 11.59 replica watches for sale all iterate aesthetically on existing Code 11.59 models in dramatically different ways.
The new 1:1 US fake Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Tourbillon Openworked watches features a blue ceramic case that’s encompassed by an 18-karat white gold bezel, lugs and caseback. The movement inside is the hand-wound openworked tourbillon-equipped caliber 2948, which has been comprehensively decorated in numerous shades of blue through a chemical process known as Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD). It’s surrounded by an interior rehaut that’s been blued through chemical vapor deposition (CVD, rather than PVD), while the long, thin handset is made of solid 18-karat pink gold and the balance wheel is executed in a matching gold tone.
The architecture of the caliber 2948, newly executed in the bright blue hue, is completely unique and almost irresistible in its boldness. The movement measures just 3.65mm in height, which means the impressive sense of three-dimensionality the movement conveys is almost magical.
Slightly less complicated but just as visually compelling is the new high quality replica Audemars Piguet Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon watches with a black ceramic central case, an 18-karat white gold bezel and lugs, and a rich dark dial made of solid black onyx. The big news on this model, for those who have followed the 11.59 series since its 2019 debut, is that AP decided to kill off the applied hour markers on the dial, allowing the stone dial material to move to center stage.
Luxury Audemars Piguet copy watches worked with the La Chaux-de-Fonds-based dial maker Someco to carve the dial out of a single black onyx stone. The dial is first cut into a thin disc, grounded, sanded, and polished before ending up in the two-tone case. Each dial is naturally unique, which means that there is potentially endless room for aesthetic variation. The Code 11.59 Flying Tourbillon with a black onyx dial is not a limited edition release.
Finally, the most complicated release of the day, the new Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Chronograph replica watches online site, is focused almost entirely on executing a comprehensive two-tone design. Featuring a combination of black ceramic and 18-karat pink gold throughout the case and (almost nonexistent) dial, the new hybrid chronograph-tourbillon watch is really, more than anything, a showcase for the powerhouse movement inside.
Opting for Audemars Piguet caliber 2952, the perfect super clone watches features two of the most complicated creations out there – a flying tourbillon and a flyback chronograph. The overall movement architecture features highly openworked bridges in both black and pink-gold tones, with AP’s watchmakers noting specifically that a total of 111 V-angles on the movement were sandblasted, satin-finished, and polished by hand. The entire decoration is said to have taken over 70 total hours of work to complete.
What We Think
The original batch of six Code 11.59 fake watches shop released by Audemars Piguet on the eve of SIHH 2019 was a touch too baroque for my personal design sensibilities, but I’ve greatly appreciated the offbeat and colorful directions the collection has gone since then. Remember the Grande Sonnerie Carillon Supersonnerie? Today’s releases fall more into the latter camp: electric blue skeletons, blacked-out dials, and a highly complicated two-tone creation all are conceptually and aesthetically interesting enough to stand on their own.
If I had to pick one of the three new best replica watches for my personal collection, I think I’d have to go with the Code 11.59 Flying Tourbillon Chronograph. It’s such a complicated watch, with an irresistible movement design featuring bridges galore, that I think I’d have a nearly endless amount of fun watching the flying tourbillon and flyback chronograph do what they do best. The electric-blue Code 11.59 Tourbillon Openworked is a close second though, simply for its intense, out-of-the-box colorway.
Stay tuned for a closer look at all three of these AAA fake watches, plus an overview of the broader evolution of Audemars Piguet’s Code 11.59 collection since its initial 2019 release, later this week.
I was there for the first AAA US replica TAG Heuer Connected watches release that happened in San Francisco some years ago, and here I am today reviewing the latest version, the TAG Heuer Connected E4 (originally debuted here). Over the last few years, TAG Heuer has really upped its game in the smartwatch market — so much so that I think it is safe to say that TAG Heuer produces the most desirable Google Wear OS-based smartwatch at this time. I certainly can’t think of any others that I would rather have right now. Of course, Wear OS faces big competition from other operating systems, such as those from Garmin or Apple, but a lot of people will find a Wear OS-equipped watch ideal for them, especially those seeking a city/urban watch who have an Android-based smartphone, or want something more visually distinctive than an Apple Watch.
One of the best things about the high quality fake TAG Heuer Connected series watches isn’t just the physical product itself but the software experience, as well. TAG Heuer has a dedicated team based in Paris (as I understand it) that is responsible for the extra software layers that are included on top of the base Google Wear Operating System. Google allows hardware makers like TAG Heuer to develop their own best replica watches faces and a selection of software interfaces for things like exercise tracking, travel, and other commonly used tools. Hardware makers can’t go very far with software additions and the underlying Wear OS system can’t really be tweaked. That means companies like TAG Heuer are, to a degree, subject to the whims of Google. That status can have pluses and minuses, but I think it still makes a lot more sense for TAG Heuer copy watches for sale to work with a popular and supported platform (Wear OS), as opposed to coming up with its own smartwatch operating system from scratch, as some others have.
1:1 TAG Heuer replica watches currently has a good level of variety in its smartwatch offerings. The Connected E4 is available in both a 45mm-wide and 42mm-wide size, and on top of that, there are various themed versions, including the TAG Heuer Connected E4 for golf, Porsche, and, of course, the fun Super Mario edition. These products share a lot in common such as underlying hardware and case shape, but product materials, cosmetics, and even the software can vary. For example, TAG Heuer has different software in the Golf and Super Mario versions of the Connected as opposed to the base model. That’s just something to be aware of. For this review, I am specifically looking at the base model (reference SBR8A10.BT6259) of the 45mm-wide TAG Heuer Connected E4 in steel that comes on a black rubber strap.
While it wasn’t always the case (no pun intended), most luxury smartwatches today look and feel almost identical to traditional fake watches wholesale on the wrist. That means the size and shape of the TAG Heuer Connected E4 is very similar to that of a traditional mechanical watch. This took a few years of hardware miniaturization, but the resulting wearing experience today allows the Connected watch to more or less look and feel like a traditional watch both to the wearer and to observers. The result is that a lot of people who want a more elevated product experience (that looks traditional versus like they are wearing an appliance) can enjoy the sex appeal of a European luxury product while having the convenience and functionality of a modern smartwatch.
In this 45mm-wide form, the luxury replica TAG Heuer Connected E4 watches is 15.3mm-thick and has a roughly 54mm lug-to-lug distance. The strap is 22mm-wide. The case is water-resistant to 50 meters, and over the screen is a sapphire crystal. The steel case is nicely polished with elegant lines, and the black bezel is produced from highly scratch-resistant ceramic. In addition to the touch-screen interface, the AAA super clone watches has two pushers, as well as the crown to control the operating system. The crown functions both as a button as well as a scroll wheel to efficiently look at information on the screen without having to swipe at it with your finger (and get fingerprints on it).
TAG Heuer includes expected common sensors and features inside of the Connected E4 including your full complement of location and activity sensors as well as a heart-rate monitor. This latter feature is very important because TAG Heuer has identified that many wearers want their China replica watches for exercise and activity tracking features. TAG Heuer even has their own exercise tracking software that includes an attractive interface and an assortment of specific physical activities.
Most people will enjoy the various watch faces that TAG Heuer developed exclusively for its smartwatches. They blend functionality and TAG Heuer brand DNA in a watch that feels very satisfying, and the small details will make you smile. My favorite is how most of the analog watch dials have an always-on effect, which looks like the luminant is glowing. Note the specific focus here on keeping the look and feel of the smartwatch experience in the traditional TAG Heuer world, as opposed to trying to invent a brand new visual experience. This helps maintain value in the brand’s mechanical products (what they mostly produce) and is also a very specific statement that TAG Heuer feels a good smartwatch is a lot like traditional mechanical fake watches shop site, as opposed to being a unique beast with a different form of user interface aesthetics.
I am not going to mention the technical specs of the Connected E4’s hardware. That’s mainly because only a small number of smartwatch buyers today seek products due to the technical specs on the inside. TAG Heuer appears to be updating the hardware in their Connected replica watches store every two years or so, which feels suitable given the pace of technological achievements today. The balance in most of these products is weighing processor performance with battery life. You’ll still need to charge the TAG Heuer Connected on a daily basis, and your battery life performance will really vary depending on the screen brightness and how much connectivity the watch ends up having to do. As a luxury product TAG Heuer will always have good hardware inside of its products, even if it isn’t always the absolute latest hardware. For most people, I think the combination of the software and hardware experience is what matters (they expect snappy performance and vivid display), and in that regard, TAG Heuer delivers nicely.
Even though I like the software that TAG Heuer includes with the Connected E4 watch, I would have liked the option to get more of it. While it might be possible through the TAG Heuer Connected app, I wasn’t able to find any way to download more TAG Heuer-designed watch faces or other software. TAG Heuer has also made it clear that you can use the 2022 fake TAG Heuer Connected E4 watches to display NFT graphics on the face. This requires special software as well as a connection to your applicable NFT wallet. So if you have NFT graphics and want to display them on your smartwatch, TAG Heuer has your needs in mind.
Photographing smartwatch screens is a special challenge, so most of the pictures in this article will have screens that look dim. That isn’t really the case, and I do feel that screen brightness is a highlight of the TAG Heuer Connected E4. I wore the replica watches paypal in a lot of situations and found that this is probably my favorite “urban” smartwatch around given its handsome looks. Other products are better suited to more hardcore activity and fitness tracking, but the TAG Heuer Connected E4 is a very well-rounded product and comes with a lot of convenient features thanks to the underlying Google Wear OS platform.
Perhaps the most salient consideration point many consumers will have is whether or not the luxury pricing of the TAG Heuer Connected E4 is worth the exclusivity factor. Thankfully, that calculus is easier now because the cost of best quality fake TAG Heuer smartwatches has become more accessible over the last few years. This is important because, unlike a traditional watch that is meant to last a lifetime, people are aware that they will want to replace smartwatches with those that have increasingly better technology. While prices go up from this base level, the just over $2,000 USD price of the TAG Heuer Connected E4 45mm is not too bad given the competition (of which there is little and mostly from other fellow LVMH brands such as Hublot and Louis Vuitton).
The people I’ve seen most enjoy the top replica TAG Heuer Connected smartwatches experience are sophisticated city-dwellers who want the best of both worlds: a modern smartwatch experience with a designer feel that comments about their status and personality. TAG Heuer does that better than any other luxury brand right now, and the good news is that the experience keeps getting better. I look forward to getting to know the design team at the TAG Heuer smartwatch office, as well as seeing what the brand has in store for future Connected products. Retail price for this reference SBR8A10.BT6259 TAG Heuer Connected E4 45mm in steel on the rubber strap is $2,050 USD.
Panerai is very much a brand of two eras. It has serious historical chops – especially when we talk about the Radiomir – and deep tool Swiss made replica watches roots. Early Radiomir models were produced by Rolex for the Italian Navy. But also, top US Panerai fake watches is something of a foundational brand when it comes to the “big watch craze” of the early aughts.
Talk to enough 1:1 wholesale copy watches enthusiasts and you’re likely to hear that their journey either began or intersects with Panerai. And for good reason. Replica Panerai watches for sale have a distinct style. While the Luminor is every bit as much an icon, the Radiomir is the more classic on its face (or case, if you will).
When it comes to the Swiss movements replica Panerai Radiomir watches (and the PAM210 featured here) you have that compact cushion case paired with the wiry lugs creating a wear experience that belies its size. Vintage style oozes through this perfect super clone watches, giving it a direct lineage back to its Italian roots. Today, The Spec Sheet toes the line between vintage and modern with the Panerai Radiomir PAM210 fake watches online site.
