Tag Heuer is a curious brand in that its pieces are diverse in its price range. It makes relatively affordable quartz pieces and at the same time also has some truly outstanding and costly watches such as the Monaco V4 Tourbillion and the MikroPendulumS. And earlier this year at Baselworld, it announced a brand new chronograph movement called the CH80 and a new watch that will feature this new movement called the Carrera CH80. The watch was positively received and many were looking forward to its launch. However, production was delayed time and again and the latest news seems to indicate that Tag Heuer will cease production altogether. This all sounds very drastic, and in this round-up, we feature an article that takes a considered look at why this has happened.

If we were to take a look at the individuals who have contributed most to horology, many of them would be British. Here are some examples: John Arnold, John Harrison, George Graham, Thomas Mudge, and more recently, George Daniels. British watchmaking is enjoying a resurgence now and brands like Bremont and Christopher Ward are fast becoming household names amongst watch enthusiasts. However, all is not well, and Roger Smith, the only apprentice of the late George Daniels, wants to tell us why.

And finally, if you love complicated watches, there is no shortage of them this month as we take a close look at Bulgari’s new Daniel Roth Carillon Tourbillon Minute-Repeater, Bovet’s Recital 16 Triple Time Zone Tourbillon, and Konstantin Chaykin’s Genius Temporis Single Hand watch. We also have an in-depth look at the “engine” behind MB&F’s new and stunning HM6 Space Pirate.

1. Movement Hands-On Series Episode 1: MB&F HM6 Space Pirate

Movement Hands-on is a new series we are introducing for movement geeks. It takes an in-depth, behind-the-sapphire-caseback look at movements that we deem interesting or important. For our inaugural entry, we are featuring the recently released MB&F HM6 Space Pirate. Like all MB&F movements, the movement in the HM6 is entirely bespoke and was conceived after three years of research and development. Check out this incredibly detailed article to find out more about the difficulties in developing this movement and how it works.

2. Bulgari Daniel Roth Carillon Tourbillon Minute-Repeater Watch Hands-On

It’s more than time to start taking Bulgari seriously as a haute horology brand: they have been making some really technical and interesting pieces lately such as the L’Ammiraglio del Tempo, which debuted at Baselworld earlier this year, and the Daniel Roth Carillon Tourbillon Minute-Repeater, which you see here. What is interesting about it is that unlike most minute repeaters, which typically have two hammers and gongs, the Daniel Roth Carillon Tourbillon Minute-Repeater has three hammers and gongs, allowing it to play a third high note. More about this mechanism, all the other peculiarities of this piece, and the Daniel Roth collection in our article.

3. Android Wear Smartwatch Dial Designs Explode With Creativity & Variety

I’m generally not excited about smartwatches, as I feel that there is still a lot of work to be done for them to be truly useful devices. Battery life is one issue, and standalone functionality is another. However, one thing that is cool about them is that their faces can be customized, and already we are seeing a lot of creative individuals coming up with some interesting customized dials for Android Wear smart watches. Check out some of the craziest, most interesting options here:

4. Konstantin Chaykin Genius Temporis Single Hand Watch With A Twist

I find single-handed watches to be excellent travelers. By only displaying the hour, I find them to be more calming and relaxing to look at – especially when on vacation. However, this can be a double-edged sword. When punctuality is required, such as when it is time to catch a flight or train, single-handed watches can be frustrating to use because of their lack of to-the-minute precision. Fortunately, this is not a problem with Konstantin Chaykin’s Genius Temporis Single Hand watch – find out how it manages to overcome this problem in our hands-on article.

5. Bovet Recital 16 Triple Time Zone Tourbillon Watch Hands-On

When I think of Bovet Helmut Replica , I think of highly skeletonized and classically styled watches that seem to come from the past through a time machine. The Recital 16 Triple Time Zone Tourbillon Watch that we see here follows in Bovet’s rich tradition of skeletonized watches, and it even has a very classic looking case, but somehow, it looks more modern. Perhaps its in complex looking dial, which, by the way, can display the time in three time zones. Or maybe its because of the movement that is peeking from underneath, called the “Calibre Rising Star II,” which is finished in a very modern way.

Instead, there is a second roller within the first; once you advance the first roller, you get to a window from which you may then observe the inner roller along with the remaining cities. This is a fairly smart and elaborate solution that is controlled by means of a column wheel, and also a great way to save space while building at the type of details the casual observer will simply miss.Continuing the theme of hemispheres established by the GMT time, the Bovet Récital 18 Shooting Star watch also offers a moon phase indicator balancing the dial from left to right.Here, you have the phase indicated for both the northern and southern hemispheres. The way it’s been accomplished may not be the most elegant (by way of rings floating across the moon hemisphere) however you can’t deny the ease of the execution. That simplicity hides the fact of some fantastic precision, as the moon phase indication is only going to require adjustment every 122 years.Finally, you get a large hour in white that’s especially shaped to perform three functions: indicate the time, stage north, and exhibit the observable portion of the night skies. Peer closer still and you will come across a month disk that moves the constellation screen as the year moves, revealing how the position of this constellation is influenced by the weeks annually.

In case you didn’t know, Ariel (our Editor-in-Chief and the founder of this blog) recently launched his first book: The World’s Most Expensive Watches. Don’t be fooled by the simple title. Even though the book takes an exclusive look at über expensive watches, it is, in the words of Ariel himself, meant to capture the essence of what the most valuable timepieces in the world embody in our modern age. Hublot and Ariel recently hosted a launch party at Los Angeles and here is what went on at the event.

Bovet Récital 18 Shooting Star Watch Replica At Best Price

Not to be overshadowed by the watches being released by brands presenting at SIHH 2016, Bovetevägen 4 Lidingö Replica has released a visually impressive piece of their own. The Bovet Récital 18 Shooting Star watch is a magnificent piece of horology that is limited to only 50 pieces. Bovet releases several very high-end watches every year, and if this is is a sign of things to come for 2016, then we’re looking forward to the year ahead from Bovet.

At first glance, the world time display on the Bovet Miss Audrey Replica Récital 18 Shooting Star looks to be a complete globe (à la the Greubel Forsey GMT), but this is something different. Rather, Bovet commissioned a cartographer to display the entirety of the world on a hemisphere. This was done so as to be able to “see” all of the time zones, thereby being able to tell the time for any of them at once. To assign the world time, you use the crown. By depressing it, the city roller above the hemisphere springs into action, displaying the selected city.

At the same time, the hemispherical hand (something you just do not see every day) goes in 15° jumps. It’s wonderfully simple to use, but I’m sure it’s an engineering marvel. As to reading any other timezone “at a glance,” the brand explains it in the following way: starting from the North Pole (aka where the hand is mounted) draw a straight line through the region you are curious (or need to know) about, and continue until your line reaches the outer concentric ring. Bingo, you have the time in that region. Not as quick to read as if there had been lines engraved on the hemisphere, but for as often as you would likely be doing the imaginary line, I’ll take the clean unobstructed presentation of the globe as an acceptable tradeoff.

It is also worth calling out the cleverness involved in the city display on the Bovet Récital 18 Shooting Star. While it looks from the photos to be a single roller, the astute observer will note that, given the size of the panels, the 24 cities could not be contained in a single roller. Instead, there is a second roller inside the first; when you advance the first roller far enough, you get to a window from which you can then see the inner roller and the remaining cities. This is a fairly clever and complex solution that is controlled by a column wheel, and a great way to save space while building in the sort of details the casual observer will simply miss.

Continuing the theme of hemispheres established by the GMT time, the Bovet D814 Replica Récital 18 Shooting Star watch also has a moon phase indicator balancing the dial from left to right. Here, you have the phase indicated for both the northern and southern hemispheres. The way it has been accomplished may not be the most elegant (by means of rings floating over the moon hemisphere) but you cannot deny the simplicity of the execution. That simplicity hides the fact of some great accuracy, as the moon phase indication will only require adjustment every 122 years. Surprisingly for a luxury watch of this execution, luminous paint is used to great effect. For starters, the moon and sky are luminous, and the oceans on the world time hemisphere are also lumed. This is something that we do not see on these sorts of “realistic” representations of celestial bodies, and I think it was a smart addition. Once the light goes down, you won’t be able to see the details on the dial, so you get a different sort of a show.

Speaking of viewing things, I realize that I have not even covered the most important aspect of a watch – telling the time. This is, of course, something that the Bovet Récital 18 Shooting Star can do, and it is done up at the 12 o’clock position on the dial, with the minutes indicated on the retrograde scale, with a digital jump hour (printed on a sapphire disc) calls out the hours. In between the hours and minutes, you have another hemisphere showing up; this is where the power reserve is indicated – power reserve of 5 days, no less.

There is one more hemisphere showing up in the 1 Dl Bovet Flingor Väger Replica Récital 18 Shooting Star, and this one is a bit more implied. This is where the tourbillon is (down at the 6 o’clock position), the hemisphere indicated by the support structure for the whirlwind cage. The tourbillon runs at 21,600 vph, and has some rather delicate decoration of its own, with the carriage and tourbillon cage being hand-engraved. This complements all of the other hand-engraving that is done throughout the Bovet Récital 18 Shooting Star (the stars, the city names, and so on).

While I have only called out the four most-visible domes, or hemispheres, of the Bovet Récital 18 Shooting Star, the brand counts a total of seven, including the sapphire crystal and dials. some of these are more subtle than others, to be sure, but they are there. In the midst of all the other “gee whiz” features (world time, moon phase, tourbillon, jump hour, and so on) I like seeing this sort of focus on detail, with a recurring theme that is so well-executed that you can notice (and appreciate) it, without it clobbering you over the head with how clever it’s being.

If you could not tell, the Bovet Récital 18 Shooting Star has a lot to like, at least in my book. Of course, when you develop something like this, and hide some rather intricate engineering behind a facade of simplicity, you know that this will not be an impulse purchase. It is anticipated that the Bovet Récital 18 Shooting Star will carry a price tag of 295,000 CHF (in either red or white gold), with the edition limited to just 50 examples. In other words, not a watch I expect to see on my wrist (or that of anyone I know), but these sorts of exercises show what can be done without become overwrought examples of excess. bovet.com

Bovet is a new that I feel has been overlooked by many and does not get the recognition it deserves. Ironically, their layouts can be divisive, but it is hard to deny the technical prowess behind them. Although the watch may look complex, its complexity actually hides very functional complications.The Bovet Récital 20 Astérium is offered in red gold, white gold, and platinum. The situation is large, measuring 46mm across and 18.3millimeters in height. It is a huge watch and one that has lots of wrist presence, but what is really interesting about the case is it is wedge-shaped. It is thicker at 12 o’clock and tapers off at 6 o’clock. The reason for this is to adapt the motion, which has a terraced architecture, a trait that you rarely find in watches. The expansive sapphire crystal can be heavily domed to provide space for the unique motion architecture.During first impressions, the Récital 20 Astérium looks imposing and complicated. But it’s in fact rather easy to browse and therefore laid out as soon as you know what’s what. On the other side at 12 o’clock, you get a large domed piece of translucent quartz that shows the constellations. The watch could be customized to reveal constellations in the northern or southern hemisphere, and the constellations are laser engraved and then filled with Super-LumiNova to help legibility at night time. Underneath, there’s a disc on which the hours are printed.

Bovet Amadeo Fleurier 43 Hands-On Replica Watches Young Professional

Every so often – and I like to think this is pretty unusual these days – a watch is released that barely needs an article to explain its function or internal technology. If I were to hand you a couple of photographs of the new Bovet Zegarki Replica Amadeo Fleurier 43 Watch, you might just shrug and say “Yeah, I get it. So what?” Well, exactly “what” you make of this diamond-encrusted piece really hinges on how comfortable you are with the notion of watches as works of art.

Not in the event of this Bovetevägen 9 Viken Replica Virtuoso VIII 10-Day Flying Tourbillon Big Date, since the winding mechanism includes a round String that halves the numbers of turns necessary to completely wind the eye. Unbelievably, it does so without raising either the friction or induce required.Another practical feature is the correction for the significant date. No pusher is required because the date can be corrected by simply pressing the crown. And because the crown can be found at 12 o’clock, there’s no fear of casual date corrections either.As I said in the start, Bovet watches would be those that you either love or despise. Personally, I’m quite fond of their elaborate styling and I can certainly nourish wealthy collectors adding you to their group. If you ever want to truly and distinctly feel like little horological gnomes are behind the plan, production, and assembly of your high-end wrist watch, then something like the new-for-2016 Bovet Recital 18 Shooting Star is a good place to begin looking. Few timepieces can combine such a sheer majesty of specifics, unconventional layout, and complications in a package that’s as much fantasy as it is a piece of practical, mechanical art.aBlogtoWatch debuted the Bovet Recital 18 Shooting Star watch here at the outset of SIHH 2016. Bovet is not a new that gifts at SIHH however, rather, nearby in Geneva at precisely the same moment. This is important to notice because the brand does not display at Baselworld either. I frequently like to place the brand in a similar location since Parmigiani because, in their own way, every has a great deal of watches that focus on technical merits and designs which, given Western criteria, are unorthodox at best.

I’ve been writing about watches for a long time; I’ve been working on them even longer; and I’ve been in the industry longer still. I’m not sure when I decided where I stood on the “are watches art?” issue, but I can tell you this: I can’t remember regarding watches as anything but works of art. Some of it is high brow, some of it low. It doesn’t really matter where the watch falls on the scale for it to be considered an art form. But maybe that has more to do with your definition of art (and I have an admittedly broad definition of the word). What I’ve always believed is that something qualifies as art if it is the “expression of that which cannot be said.”

So basically, it is, in my mind, anything that makes us feel, rather than telling us what to think. Loads of things fall into this category, even sport! Literature qualifies because the words, like brush strokes, paint a picture in our minds that is different for everybody. A technical manual does nothing but instruct; art enables lateral thought, individual emotion, and a unique takeaway. The Bovet Amadeo Fleurier 43, therefore, qualifies as art in my mind. The watch is part of Bovet’s convertible range, meaning the watch can easily be detached from the wrist strap (which is genuine blue alligator) and turned into a pocket watch, or table clock. A cool touch that adds a little bit of technical interest to something that is otherwise little more than jewelry.

To top it off, we get a stunning view of this patented double confront flying tourbillon, which provides us a glimpse at what is powering everything. The tourbillon itself is outfitted with a varying inertia balance wheel, which Bovet pairs together with carefully selected balance springs. It is apparently a serious dedication to chronometry together with everything we’ve come to expect out of Bovet and more. The Bovet Récital 20 Astérium is going to be made in red gold, white gold, or silver case configurations which can be customized as Bovet has historically provided. It comes in an alligator leather strap fitted with an 18K red or white gold ardillon buckle.Bovet concerns themselves with producing works of horological art for collectors that can appreciate and manage the product of the craft. The Bovet Récital 20 Astérium takes its rightful place inside the Récital range and it will be a visual horological treat to hopefully share in hands-on photos soon. Some 195 decades ago, Bovet was founded by Edouard Bovet in London, who’d go on to make watches to sell in China. The history afterward is a bit hazy, but something that’s certain is that Bovet watches are similar to any other. Love them or loathe them a lot of Bovet watches have a fashion quite unlike anything else, and I have to respect them for that. Unlike other brands which may seem subject to trends and fads, Bovet seems blissfully unconcerned, creating watches that are uniquely theirs. Furthermore, many of their high-end pieces feature intriguing technical innovations. Since 2017 marks the 195th anniversary of Bovet, the brand has just released the brand new Bovet Virtuoso VIII 10-Day Flying Tourbillon Big Date watch, a limited-edition piece to commemorate the event.

So the main thing you’ll notice when you look at the Bovet 72 C Replica Amadeo Fleurier 43 is probably the rather striking image of a horse-mounted, crown-wearing, bow-toting rider of the Apocalypse bedecked in a cloak, galloping over clouds. Right. Standard wrist candy? Not so much. This is something for the connoisseur. I mean, it’s easy to gripe over this watch’s lack of mainstream appeal (especially at Bovet’s price bracket), but when you’re only making one (and this piece is genuinely unique in that sense) you don’t need a lot of people to like it. There are a startling amount of people in the world who have enough money to buy this kind of product, and the chances are in Bovet’s favour that one of them will think it’s the bees knees. And anyway, art has a weird habit of appreciating in value for the oddest reasons.

Watches are no different. Swatch once released a watch featuring the late Nicolas Hayek’s face on rotating discs, that aligned every so often to make a perfect picture of the man himself. It was widely derided for its appearance, but still sold like hot cakes. Nowadays, in lieu of his passing and his assured place in history, the Hayek Swatch is one of the most collectable and sought after. Now, I’m not saying this Bovet 5 Jours Replica has the same kind of importance to the industry, but it might have that kind of emotional appeal to someone who has a particular penchant for the dial subject.

The watch features a very nicely decorated movement, referred to by Robert E Bovet Replica as the 11BA12 calibre. It has a 72-hour power reserve and operates at 28,800vph. Truth be told, it is super basic, but if you’re buying this watch for its artistic merit, complications are not that high on your shopping list. The diamonds will split opinion, especially given the somewhat “masculine” (and I say that really loosely) dial image and size (43mm), but it looks pretty cool on the wrist. What is definitely cool is the technique that has gone into the painting of the dial. Love or hate the end product, it is hard to fault the superb execution of an old-world skill. This dial has been painted by Russian jeweler Ilgiz Fazulzyanov on to an 18k gold base plate. It’s my opinion that the Bovet Amadeo Fleurier 43 makes the “are watches art” debate easy to win – how is this any different from a painting? And I guess some people might argue that some watches are art (like this one), and some are just watches (like the Casio G-Shock), but there were plenty of people who laughed at Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup before it became a modern classic.

You don’t have to like or respect something for it to be art. If it delivers a wordless message, if it makes you feel something, then I think it’s worthy of that classification. With just one Bovet Et Fils Sa Replica Amadeo Fleurier 43 piece available, with a price tag of $196,700 (CHF 171,000), Bovet are banking on one super rich collector agreeing that this piece deserves a spot on their winder. Who knows? In twenty years time, it might turn out to be the best investment they ever made. bovet.com

Hands On Bovet Recital 18 Shooting Star Replica Limited Edition

The technicians and watchmakers at replica BOVET 1822 and DIMIER 1738 Manufacture began by ‘forgetting’ their certainties and habits before even commencing work on this timepiece in order to deliver a more intuitive and innovative way of reading the time articulated around the two stars that define it: the earth and the moon. In this watch –Recital 18 Shooting Star, the case, BOVET 46 mm Replica in diameter and 18 mm thick, contains all this, with a view of the earth and the moon as seen from space, shown in remarkable detail. At first glance, the Shooting Star boasts busy dial but this hight quality replica watches actually offers a detailed hemispheric universal worldwide time with retrograde minutes, jumping hours, and precision moon phase.

A first hemisphere was chosen to represent the Earth and enable the reading of universal time, which is displayed in three dimensions at 3 o’clock. A hand affixed to the North Pole – that is the axis of our hemisphere – follows its curve. It can be assigned to any one of the 24 time zones selected by the user. At its tip, a concentric ring displays the time in the chosen time zone, while the name of the city corresponding to that time zone appears on one of the two concentric rollers indexed to the hemisphere.

In addition to displaying the time and the name of the city corresponding to an easily adjustable time zone, the 24-hour ring that surrounds the globe enables instant reading of the time anywhere in the world. Simply follow a straight line from the center of the globe, passing through the selected geographical point. The tip of this line will point to the exact time in the selected place on the graduated ring. To link the hand of the second time zone to a specific city, simply press the center of the crown. With each successive press, the needle jumps by an angular value of 15°, representing the exact value of the time zone. This action also activates the rollers and the names of the cities corresponding to the time zones indicated by the hand are displayed in sequence.

The option of two concentric paint rollers to point the metropolitan areas provides the two-fold benefit of taking on little space although supplying exemplary readability. The mechanism that drives them needed great resourcefulness. The outer curler shows 11 metropolitan areas concurrently, then makes method for a window, which opens an aperture towards the second curler – arranged concentrically within the first curler – and exhibiting the twelfth city. This inner curler then turns to be able to display the 13 subsequent metropolitan areas within the aperture. The entire product is controlled with a column wheel.
