Chopard Mille Miglia Speed Black Power Control

September 3rd, 2010

Swiss watch maker Chopard has welcomed its 150th Anniversary. To celebrate this great event, this brand specially launched the Mille Miglia Speed Black Power Control that is powered by ETA A07.161-a COSC-certified automatic movement.breitling replica watches

The watch, with a 44mm Black DLC coated steel case, features an eye-catching dial that sports a beautiful orange-on-black color scheme. To give the dial a neat look, Chopard has abandoned the huge Arabic numeral “12” and removed the small “1000 Miglia” from the 3 o”clock position. The only complaint on the dial is the date window. Covered by a magnifying lens though, the numerals on the date wheel are smaller than those on the minute chapter.

The watch come with two strap options-the line’s iconic rubber strap with tire pattern and a black calf leather strap. My vote goes to the latter as it features matching orange stitching and is very easy to put on and take off.

At the official release conference, Chopard just stated that this watch housed an automatic movement,without revealing more details. And I believe it is the ETA A07.161 which is a perfect mechanism for watches of similar style. The movement, featuring a Etachron regulator is able to deliver 46-hour power reserve.

Though the movement is just 36.6mm wide and 7.9mm high, Chopard provides it a case that is 44 mm in diameter and 14.2 mm in height to ensure it has ample space. The large, in perfect proportion, looks very nice on the wrist.

According to Chopard, the Mille Miglia Speed Black Power Control watch will be strictly limited to 150 pieces and is exclusively available at the the Hour Glass network of boutiques located in Singapore.

Franc Vila fv35 Supersonico Watch Review

September 3rd, 2010

The latest watch by Franc Vila is one of the watches that have very long name. In fact, its full name “Franc Vila FVa35 SuperSonico 5 Minute Repeater SuperLigero watch” will sound better if being shortened to “SuperSonico 5-Minute Repeater 5 watch”. Forget the name issue, the watch, with the brand’s Cobra case, looks quite cool and has the great potential to be hot. iwc replica watches

Before the watch review, I would like to introduce what is  5 minute repeater. It is a chiming mechanism that contains a set of small hammers hitting a gong inside the watch to tell you the time to the closest 5 minute mark.

And the SuperSonico 5-Minute Repeater 5 watch by Franc Vila is available in several materials, including blacked steel, gold plated steel, titanium and Lightnium which is a special aluminum alloy. This high-tech material is quite solid yet very light, which helps ti make the watch a good choice for long-time wearing. The other details, for example the size,  about the case are standard to the Cobra cases

In order to exhibit how the 5 minute repeater works in real time, Franc Vila boldly skeletonizes the dial. And the resulting effect is fantastic since this brand is an expert in the field.

The watch itself  is masculine and stylish with a cool technical touch.  According to Franc Vila, both the steel and titanium version of the SuperSonico sell at about $44,000, while the gold and the Lightnium version asks for much more. Do not complaint the high pricing. It is called SuperSonico, anyway.

General Introduction of Tourbillon Watch

September 2nd, 2010

Tourbillon, a kind of clock and watch speed adjusting device, was invented in 1795 by Mr Breguet who was a master in clock and watch industry in Switzerland. Breguet invented tourbillon aiming to regulate the deviation of watches and clocks caused by gravity. Tourbillon represents the highest standard process of mechanical watches. Tourbillon watch is always regarded as “The King of Watches” because its unique operation mode has propelled dynamic art of watches as well as clocks to reach the pinnacle. The creativity of tourbillon lies on laying the escapement into a carriage and the escapement revolving around the axis of balance wheel. In such case, deviation of various parts of watches and clocks will offset. The principle of tourbillon describes that as a watch or clock is in vertical direction, it can make up the effect made by gravity. The principal seems quite simple but it’s not an easy job to put it into practice.

As tourbillon watches have been improving and innovating over time, they are devided into three generations. The first generation is tourbillon invented by Abraham Louis Breguet in 1795 and it is consisted of tourbillon’s carriage and tourbillon’s bridge. In the combination, balance’s bridge should revolve together with flywheel. The first generation of tourbillon is devided into coaxial mode and eccentric mode. Flying tourbillon is the second generation created by Alfred Helwing in 1927 and it could work without tourbillon bridge. Therefore, mystery and dynamic art of tourbillon watches are improved. The third generation is called mystery tourbillon made by a Chinese named Kiu Tai Yu in 1993. Mystery tourbillon even could work without both tourbillon’s carriage which is indispensable for the first two generations and tourbillon’s bridge. In addition, balance wheel could revolve separately so the weight of tourbillon is reduced half. Kiu Tai Yu also first substituted metal which is made of balance wheel plywood before for sapphire glass. It is no doubt that tourbillon of the third generation is more mysterious and eye-catching.

Bell Ross Vintage Original BR 126 Watch Review

August 27th, 2010

In the watch-making industry, Bell & Ross is reputable brand specializes in making pilot style watches and military watches. Recently, this Swiss watch brand enriched its Vintage BR 126 -a famous pilot’s watch line with a new Vintage Original BR 126 Chronograph watch. replica tag heuer

This new Bell & Ross pilot’s watch comes with a round case in stainless steel. Beating inside is a Swiss ETA 2894 movement which is quite popular among other watch brands and thus very easy to maintain. Except the time, the movement offers 30-chronograph and a small seconds that are displayed in two subdials at 9 and 3 o’clock respectively, though it can provide tri-subdial chronograph functionality. And there is a small aperture for date display at 4:30 as well.

As mentioned above, the Vintage Original BR 126 has a round stainless steel case. And that is the main difference from the original model. 41mm at diameter, the case feature decent satin finish on the surface. To my knowledge, the low-key finish is required by any military watches. You know, polished steel easily reflects lights, which will lead to the exposure of the wearer and put him in dangerous status.

Covering the dial is a convex sapphire crystal that has been coated with anti-reflective coating. But I am afraid that before the coating gets enough scratches, it is not safe to wear this watch in battlefield.

The dial is available in black and beige. Though the black version showcases attractive high-contrast and adorable legibility, I personally vote for the beige one as it gives the provides the BR 126 Chronograph an unbeatable vintage look of the original models made in 1940s. And the watch will be perfect if you match it with a a worn look brown leather strap.

August 27th, 2010

Are you always thinking about that why brand bags are so popular and they have fans all around the world though they’re luxurious and expensive? Here I’d like to tell you something special and attractive the brand bags have. Let’s enjoy the colorful bags together now.

Historial Legend——Louis Vuitton(LV)

Now a century has past, and the canvas bags which have special letters——LV, have being the classic bags in the fashion world.

Thoughts on Breitling Chronospace SuperQuartz

August 27th, 2010

For Breiting and Breiting watch enthusiasts, the relaunch of the Chronospace quartz chronograph that was discontinues 12 years ago is an exciting event. As powered by the a SuperQuartz movment- Breitling Caliber B78, this new model is called Breitling Chronospace SuperQuartz Chronograph watch. And With larger size, it keeps the original analogue/digital display. tag heuer carrera

As we know, Breiting is a world-know for providing accurate instruments for professionals like pilots. But in recent years, it slowly walks to the other direction-it seems to put more attention to making watches for people who love attractive accessories. It starts to walk away from the basic design principle in this industry – Form follows function. And this Breitling Chronospace re-edition is the best example of the change of Breitling.

Look at the dial, the “3” and “9” are too large to maintain a decent elegance. I can not understand why Breiting makes such a “bold” move. Any specific secret or meaning behind these huge numerals? And why Breitling specially highlights these tow numeral? Well, Breiting may response that the watch , as a professional time-measuring instrument, needs a large dial, bombastic case at 48mm, and huge numerals with super luminous substance. But if you have a knowledge of Breiting, you must know that the dial of the new Chronospace is even larger that the case of the original model.

You may ask if it is because that the SuperQuartz movment needs a larger case to house it? The answer is no. Considering  ETA E20.341 Thermoline quartz movement which the Breitling Caliber B78 is based on is just 30 mm in diameter, the movement should not need such a big case. And the the Caliber B56 that powered the original Chronospace was about 22mm x 26 mm-not very small, either.

I guess the reason behind the over-sized case is that Breitling meant to make it different from Emergency, Aerospace, and the Airwolf that have modest case and dial layout or Breitling’s marketing team wanted to test the large watch market.

In my humble opinion, if you are on the market for a decent Breiting with an analogue/digital display, the new Aerospace model and the Breitling Airwolf Raven Special Edition quartz chronograph should be much better choices than this bold SuperQuartz

The Advantages And Disadvantages of High Heels

August 26th, 2010

It’s said that a girl’s thoughts will grow with her heels’ height. It means when a girl grow up, she can’t avoid wearing the high heels. I believe many girls have imitated their mothers wearing the high heels when they were young. High heels tends to stand for girls’ dreaming for maturity. But, is it beneficial for female if they wear high heels everyday? Let’s have a look.

the Advantages of High Heels

Make Female Higher

First and foremost, it’s obvious that high heels makes girls looked higher, which is a common dream of short girls as well as a standard many men require of girls. In order to achieve this target, girls would like to spend a lot of money in it.

Receive more charm

Besides, according to the traditional criticism, it seems that women are slaves to male ideas. Fashion culture controlled by models leads us to offer our toes and our check books to satisfy some men’s idea of sexy shoes. Apparently, wearing high heels pushes female breasts out by changing their center of gravity, which helps women receive much more female charm. Moreover, small feet are said to be another requirement of men’s idea of sexy. And high heels seems to have this effect.

the Function of Protecting

Furthermore, wearing high heels can shape female body, making them more elegant. It even can protect and maintain the arch for the reason that it is like the arch cushion, having the function of preventing the muscle and joint from hurting as well as lessening the tiredness when walking.

a Good Helper of Decorating

Last but not least, high heels can go with most of the clothes, many dresses need high heels to decorate. When wearing high heels, women are so attractive and elegant. And some occasions require women wearing high heels.

the Disadvantage of High Heels

the Harm to Health

On the one hand, high heels will change the center of gravity, changing the pressure point from the whole foot to the sole, then making the sole lose the balance. It’s likely to lead the metatarsophalangeal joints to be out of shape, causing symptoms as fracture of metatarsal and backache, sometimes even affecting walking. What’s worst, the thinner and higher the heel is, the greater the risk of foot and back problems is.

If adolescents wear the high heels too early, it will affect the growth of the foot’s bone, and then affect the growth of the pelvis, indirectly affect the fertility.

On the other hand, some women insist on wearing high heels on cold days, which will make them get the cold easily.

Slow Down the Speed

This is a question that can’t be ignored. When wearing high heels, to keep elegant, women can’t walk fast. They must spend more time in walking. Although they are confronted with emergency, they can’t run, or they will get hurt easily.

Obviously, we can draw the conclusion that ladies must sacrifice their health if they want to wear high heels everyday. But if they reduce the heel of their high heels, they can kill two birds with one stone.

August 23rd, 2010

Sometimes, to be special is to win. Mido is a luxury watch brand that successfully puts this word into practice. Not all Mido watches are special. Instead, Mido has some special models in each collection or has some special viriants/editions for certain models. In this way, Mido keeps its conservative customers and attracts not a few fashion persons as well. And that is part of the reason Mido rises so quickly in recent years. iwc replicas

Recently, Mido refreshed its long-established Miltifort collection with several new models-including regular three-hand and chronograph models. And there is a very special model I love very much. Featuring nice black and orange contract, this model, called Mido Multifort PVD Special Edition Chronograph, is really special and cool. Under $2,000, you can hardly find a second watch deserves buying like this one. It is sporty, practical and cool-looking.

Sized at 44mm, the case of this special Miltifort watch is crafted from stainless steel and coated with black PVD. The black dial, with Geneva stripes that is normally applied on movement rotors, sports bright orange hour markings, hands and wordings. The hour markers are slightly recessed and filled with luminous substance. Covering the beautiful dial is a sapphire crystal with double-sided anti-reflective coating. Water resistant to 100 meters, the watch is completed by a comfortable attractive rubber strap.

Beating inside the watch is a s a Swiss ETA Valjoux 7750 automatic chronograph movement. If you love watches in simple style, this watch is also available in plain stainless steel. But personally, I will go directly for this special edition.  The price is around $1,850.

Girard Perregaux Vintage 1945 New York Special Edition

August 23rd, 2010

While CONUS poses as one of the largest markets for luxury watches, New York has an noticeable buyer power for fine timepieces. To pay tribute to their watch fans there, luxury watch brand Girard-Perregaux has created a special model of the brand’s Vintage 1945 watch exclusively for New York. This New-York-Only watch, featuring a “NY” marker at 12 o’clock position, is just limited to 10 pieces and available in New York only. tag replicas

Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 New York Limited Edition Watch, crafted from 18k white gold, is 36mm wide by 37mm tall. Based on today’s large watch standard, this handsome-looking is a bit small.

The dial, protected and enhanced by a sapphire crystal, is really beautiful.If you have discerning eyes, you will easily notice that the black color is absolutely unusual. According to Girard-Perregaux, the dial , made from top quality black enamel, applies a secret formula and is hand-made by the brand’s top artisans. Thanks to the in-house made Calibre GP1900, a hand-wound movement, the dial is able to display the dial, small seconds, the date and the power reserve indicator. And there is some red hints spicing the dial up. Overall the dial is impressively nice and highly legible.

I am sure this watch will attract those who love watches with a nice vintage touch. But I afraid not all 10 pieces will be purchased by New Yorkers. Firstly, New York welcomes lots of rich tourists everyday and not a few of them will buy watches in this city. Secondly, the whopping price of this watch will beat most New Yorkers.
