The announcement of the pre-SIHH models always feels like Christmas is coming early! These previews most certainly wet the appetite, and are a sign of great things to come! Among the brands that participate at the SIHH, Cartier, Ulysse Nardin, and Hermès have already given us a taste what to expect this January.
Ulysse Nardin cheap fake watches surprised by already announcing three new models, the Marine Torpilleur Military, Marine Tourbillon Blue Grand Feu, and Classico Manufacture Grand Feu.

Limited to 300 pieces each, this watch is available with either a black or an egg-shell dial with Arabic numerals.
The back of the copy Ulysse Nardin watch is beautiful as well, as it features an engraved scene of a Torpilleur boat. Prices are set at $7.900,-
Usually, an event recap refers to one single event. This one, however, details a week-long bash during Melbourne’s Motorclassica that saw the town literally painted red when the Royal Exhibition Building was lit up in a bold Italian red, with Hublot and Ferrari copy watches logo stamping the iconic site. It also included the largest ever convoy of Ferraris ever assembled in Australia, and a hell of a party to reveal the new LaFerrari Aperta in the Melbourne Docklands. Last, but certainly not least, was a new watch co-designed by Ferrari and Hublot, the extremely limited Techframe Ferrari 70 Years Tourbillon Chronograph.
Remember, this was a 70th. If this is what the two brands mustered for a birthday party, just imagine what they would have done for a buck’s night. Hublot has a long-standing global alignment with Ferrari and it’s as perfect a match as any between watch and vehicle, with both marques striving to change their respective niches with technology and flair.
The Drive
What is the collective noun for a group of Ferraris? May we suggest a ‘growl’? That’s exactly what the idyllic lake and seaside suburb of Albert Park heard when more than 100 Ferraris took to the M1 on course for the late Dame Elisabeth Murdoch’s Cruden Farm in Langwarrin for the Concours d’Elegance judging of best in show.
Leading the convoy was Australia’s only ever Ferrari factory driver Tim Schenken OAM. His whip was the $12 million limited edition LaFerrari Aperta, which travelled from Italy for the occasion, and was to be the star of the show at the Red Party later in the week.

The Watch
The tagline for the the new replica Hublot Techframe Ferrari 70 Years Tourbillon Chronograph is “Designed by Ferrari, crafted by Hublot”, meaning that it started as a blueprint under the leadership of Head of Ferrari Design Flavio Manzoni in Maranello and was built in Nyon by Hublot.
The starting point for the designers was the Hublot movement — the “engine” of the watch — around which they freely designed a high performance chassis. Like that of a Ferrari, its lattice structure — unique in the world of watchmaking — offers maximum strength for minimal weight.

“The styling … underlines the performances of the watch and no component is there by chance,” Manzoni explains. Going into detail, the black structure on the dial holds the chronograph counters and offers maximal legibility. The crown at 4 o’clock is raised by a black PVD Titanium insert decorated with Ferrari’s Prancing Horse. The red chrono stop-start lever is easily accessible while driving, though using it for a 0-100 trial in this animal would not be recommended.
uxury watch brands continue to sell their products online and at increasingly higher prices. Within the past month three more luxury brands have partnered with third party eCommerce sites Mr Porter and Net-A-Porter, a business that luxury conglomerate Richemont has a 49% stake.
The latest to join Mr Porter are Officine Panerai fake watches and it is doing it in a big way. The Italian nautical watch brand is making available 25 timepieces from its Luminor and Radiomir collections, along with a Panerai table clock, on the website. The price range for timepieces is $5,000 to $28,600.

Using eCommerce to sell high-end watches has moved beyond a trend and is now mainstream and inevitable among the few holdouts. Online sales of luxury goods, overall, could triple to $82.8 billion by 2025, according to the 2015 Altagamma-McKinsey Digital Luxury Experience Observatory.
Watch brands have been deliberate in moving online and even more so when partnering with third-party sites. However, this is obviously changing as well. For example, Panerai has become the 20th luxury watch brand to sell through Mr Porter. Four of the brands on Mr Porter are Richemont-owned. The rest are independent brands with the exception of LVMH-owned Zenith.

It’s probably a good practice to have an online partner. According to PMX Agency’s Trend Report of luxury brands online, two out of five online shoppers continue to shop after leaving a luxury brand’s website. Their first choice is department stores followed by pure eCommerce sites such as the Porter websites.
In the world of Panerai, all watches are bold, but some are bolder than others. The Luminor Submersible has always been part of that last category and achieved this not always by sheer size, but more so by its imposing design. Panerai recently introduced six new models in this collection. Time for us to take a closer look at the recruits of the new draft!
What is perhaps most imposing about these new additions are the different materials that Panerai replica watches used for the cases. Stainless steel, titanium, bronze, and red gold are all represented. These various materials give each Submersible their own character without diluting the DNA that they all share. Next, to that did Panerai also made a distinct choice regarding size, which seems to be closely related to the material they made the case of. Unique is the version with the BMG-Tech case, for which Panerai used a high-temperature, high-pressure injection process with a rapidly cooling phase. This prevents the atoms to arrange themselves in their usual patterns, creating a light, highly corrosive resistant alloy.

Two of the new 47mm models are crafted from titanium. The Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic is a very capable diving watch, with a water resistance of 300 meters and an emphasis on legibility. The 47mm case most certainly helps with this, while the titanium keeps the weight comfortable. The Luminor Submersible 1950 Amagnetic 3 Days Automatic also features a titanium case, yet here with a differently designed dial, black bezel insert and a greater resistance to magnetic interference thanks to a soft iron case around the movement.
Another of the new models that feature 47mm case are the Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic Bronzo fake watches. Crafted from a traditional alloy of copper and pure tin, this watch is highly corrosive resistance but will take on over time a unique patina as a result of the environment it is exposed to. A 47mm bronze watch is quite substantial to have on the wrist, but the patina that will form makes it worth it. A larger case simply makes it that it will be better visible, and more of it as well. Next to that is the combination of the deep colored bronze and the blue dial quite stunning.

42mm was the case size of choice for the stainless steel and 18K red gold version Panerai replica watches. The stainless steel version enters, thanks to its size, a very competitive area in the market and seems to have everything working in its favor to do well. It is large enough to provide that bold look, but not overly so. The stainless steel gives it a pleasant weight, the size of the case prevents it from becoming too much. Its DNA is distinct, and also runs into that automatic manufacture movement that all the new Submersibles have. For the 18K red gold version 42mm also seems to be optimum size. Being made from precious metal, it is a watch that some might want to wear in a more formal capacity, despite (or maybe because of) its rugged looks. A smaller diameter makes this a bit more agreeable, as it might even fit under the cuff of your shirt and jacket.
