Maurice Lacroix New Aikon Automatic Bronze Limited Edition
Maurice Lacroix launches the new Aikon Automatic Bronze high quality watches replica, which fully exploits the inherent synergy of metal and brown, evoking elegance in its originality. The delicate and detailed Clous de Paris pattern on the dial and the understated baton hour markers reflect the aesthetic code of the collection while evolving it.
In 2016, when Maurice Lacroix launched the Aikon, a bold reinterpretation of one of the best-selling models of the 1990s, the Calypso, the brand had no idea that it would become an industry benchmark. One year later, in 2017, a new milestone was achieved: Maurice Lacroix was one of the first brands to revive an almost forgotten metal in luxury watchmaking with the Aikon Bronze.
Today, the Aikon Automatic Bronze watch continues this tradition, reinterpreting the refined aesthetic with a unique and bold urban style. The history of metal as a cornerstone of human civilization is as fascinating as its natural properties, reflecting this idea: over time, the material develops a unique patina that is a direct result of how, when, where and by whom the high quality fake watches is worn. The ultimate form of personalization.
"In less than a decade, Aikon has become synonymous with urban style and its range of references continues to expand. At the heart of Aikon's ongoing evolution is the Maurice Lacroix mentality that permeates every aspect of our brand: to embody creativity. With this in mind, the Aikon Automatic Bronze proves once again that the fusion of materials, colors and textures combined with precision, reliability and durability can produce something new and unique. »Stephan Waser, Managing Director of Maurice Lacroix.

What are the highlights of Breitling's new super sea? In our impression, the brand's updating of watches is basically a fuss about the details, and it is rare to "go to war". However, in early July, Breitling released a new generation of super ocean watches, which have changed a lot compared to the previous generation. On the basis of maintaining the dynamic style of the diving watch, the new Superocean watch adds many fashion elements, which is far superior to ordinary diving watches in terms of practicality, and can be worn whether it is daily leisure or surfing diving. (Watch model: A17375E71C1A1)
You may not know that Breitling Superocean was among the first batch of professional diving watches in history. It was born in 1957 and is the prototype watch of Breitling Superocean culture. This new generation of Super Ocean draws inspiration from the original Super Ocean Slow Motion watch in the 1960s and 1970s, and has been redesigned to incorporate more modern elements, in line with the aesthetic concept of contemporary consumers.
There are four sizes to choose from for the new generation of super ocean watches, namely 36, 42, 44 and 46 mm. What we see in the picture is the 42 mm model that most people can wear. Its case is made of stainless steel, which is more refined after being brushed.
The design of the dial is quite unique, it adopts blue and white color matching, and the functional division is completely different from the traditional diving watch. The main minute scale is located on the inner ring of the dial. This design is a continuation of the inner ring of the antique Superocean 2005 chronograph, full of retro charm. The outer ring is a small second dial, and the outermost edge is a diving scale ring. It is worth mentioning that Breitling follows the current trend and inlaid scratch-resistant ceramics on the ratchet unidirectional rotating bezel, which is not only beautiful, but also wear-resistant and not easy to fade, which greatly improves the service life of the watch.
The Superocean 2005 we mentioned earlier is a diving chronograph. In addition to the chronograph inner ring, its other characteristic "square" chronograph hands can also be seen on this watch. The new generation of super sea puts the "square" luminous block on the minute hand, and replaces the slender scale with a wide luminous stick scale to ensure that the wearer can accurately know the time even in dim water. In addition, in order to ensure the integrity of the dial, this watch does not have a calendar window, but it has little effect on a diving watch.
The brand equips this watch with a stainless steel bracelet, and the folding clasp is engraved with the iconic Breitling logo, which is highly recognizable.
In order to ensure water resistance, this watch adopts a dense bottom design, making it waterproof to a depth of 300 meters. The watch is equipped with a Breitling 17 self-winding mechanical movement. Although this movement is a general-purpose movement, it has passed the Swiss official observatory certification. The daily error is between -4/+6s. It provides a power reserve of about 38 hours, which is relatively capable in all aspects.
Compared with the previous Breitling Superocean watch, the new generation Superocean not only has great changes in design, but also has a higher price, but friends who are concerned should know that Breitling has adjusted the price this year, and the average increase of the whole series is 5%. So it is expected that the price of Xinchaohai will increase slightly. I personally think that there are quite a few highlights of this new super sea, what do you think?
Richard Mille Unveils RM 47 Tourbillon – The Samurai Connect art and spirit. Create a new masterpiece that aims to pay homage to Japanese culture. Richard Mille presents the RM 47 tourbillon, the result of intense reflection and nearly four years of design work. This is a new ingenious watch with an extremely compact movement that makes room for stylized samurai armor entirely handcrafted. The model was born from a friendly conversation between Richard Mille and two-time Formula 1 world champion and brand partner Fernando Alonso, a passionate lover of traditional Japanese art and samurai principles.
This new model pushes the limits of creativity and takes its place in the brand’s typically “decorative” watch collection. Entirely hand-carved by engraver Pierre-Alain Lozeron and painted by his wife Valérie Lozeron, the samurai armor showcases different aspects of Japanese ancestral culture. Evoking the spirit of Bushido, the moral code of the samurai whose values are still prevalent in Japanese society, the armor comes to life in 3N gold, reminiscent of the gold leaf used in ancient Japan to decorate the country's finest shrines and some traditional crafts.
Many details refer to the Asano clan, which symbolizes the Bushido spirit. The 18th-century clan lord Nagano Asano, also lord of the 47 Ronin, avenged his death before following him into the underworld. Their family crest or clan coat of arms – one for each warrior clan – proudly appears on the tourbillon at six o’clock.
Symbolizing two crossed falcon feathers, expressing wartime power and the authority of the suzerain, this emblem is also intricately engraved on the winglets of the warrior's helmet. The crown is made of titanium, carbon TPT® and polished 3N gold with a Japanese maple leaf pattern, which symbolizes the seasons and the grace, beauty and ephemeral life. Finally, at the bottom, the two swords are sheathed, with the blades pointing upwards, ready to be drawn quickly in case of danger.
This decoration is both a sculpture and a sculpture, requiring patience, meticulousness, dexterity and enthusiasm. Pierre explained: "Between the sword and the chisel, between the edge of the blade and the cut precisely defined by the engraver's technique, there are many parallels that evoke the qualities of these warriors as those demanded by our artistic craftsmanship. similarities between." - Alain Lozelon. In total, it took no less than 16 hours of engraving and 9 hours of painting - more than a full day in total - to obtain the 11 components that make up the Samurai, perfectly combined front and rear, surrounding the calibre RM 47 tourbillon.
Like the Guardian, the armour provides valuable protection to the hand-wound calibre RM47, with hours and minutes. To ensure optimal functioning of the movement, the baseplate and skeletonized bridges are made of grade 5 titanium, a biocompatible alloy commonly used in the aerospace industry, and treated with black PVD . This combination provides high corrosion resistance, excellent rigidity and a perfectly flat surface.
The movement, case and decoration of the RM 47 embody a design approach aimed at ensuring the harmonious and effective integration of all the various elements. The barrel-shaped case consists of three parts, with a 3N gold strap housing a bezel and a black TZP ceramic case back. With its extraordinary aesthetic, the 75 RM 47 Tourbillon evokes the spirit and values of Bushido, while embodying a steadfast pursuit of perfection and respect for tradition
When Zenith's designers wanted to know what El Primero in 1969 would look like when inspired by outdoor activities, they envisioned something completely different from the products made more than 50 years since the introduction of the famous movement. The same functionality and ergonomic design as the most sought after chronograph, evokes the bright colors and textures found in the wild. The result is called Chronomaster Revival Safari, which is a gorgeous reinterpretation of the iconic vintage chronograph.
U-Boat Chimera Watch The U-shaped submarine Chimera watch series is more appropriately named after a fire-breathing hybrid creature in Greek mythology composed of parts of an animal. These watches are beautifully crafted using a variety of different materials, from mother-of-pearl and bronze to titanium and laser-cut fine lines.
Another distinctive feature of the U-Boat Chimera watch is that the case is equipped with a unique crown cover and a button on the left for easy operation. The case is also locked together by the outer tube on the bezel and the case back to ensure complete waterproofness. We really like the U-Boat Chimera Net watch, which shows a skeletonized dial with four superimposed layers. The last layer is carefully crafted by laser-cut fine stainless steel wire mesh, demonstrating the complex mechanical movement below it.
Patek Philippe 5101P In the past 15 years, great changes have taken place in the watchmaking industry. So many styles, materials—and even brands—have become the norm of that era, that it's hard to imagine what the watchmaking industry would be like at that time.
Today, the tourbillon has become an old hat. Nowadays, two-axis and even three-axis tourbillons are the superb choice for the most complex watches, including even crazier things, but in 2003, they were actually unheard of. Although the tourbillon had existed for more than two centuries by then, once the watch replaced the pocket watch, the tourbillon was no longer popular.
That of course is because the tourbillon is of little use in a watch. It is a device that can balance the slight imbalance in the beating heart of the movement. This problem mainly occurs when the clock is placed in a horizontal position-just like a pocket watch. However, the watch does not have this problem. Except for the corpse's wrists, they moved in position throughout the day, and the entire place was subjected to uniform gravity. This is why automatic movement is a good idea.
