  • Peter Tanisman released its Carrousel Fantasia Porpora ladies quartz watch in White Gold

    Peter Tanisman has released its Carrousel Fantasia Porpora wristwatch. The watch is presented in a strangely H-shaped 18-carat white gold case.

    Officially entering the high jewelry and watchmaking business only some three or four years ago, the Swiss brand Peter Tanisman uses the same tactics as more established brands that exist for dozens of years. The brands in question simply take a well-selling model and keep reintroducing it with new and new combinations of colors and materials.

    The tactics works, since you get an endless stream of “new” models without actually spending money on designing and advertising new models and/or retooling your assembly lines. However, measuring only 8 millimeters in height, the watch doesn’t really look massive, which is good.

    Like the previous iterations of the model, the new Fantasia PorporaBeing 41 millimeters in length and 30 millimeters in width, the movement almost completely covers a wrist of a well-proportionate lady.

    In fact, the only difference between the new watch and the last year’s model is the chosen color scheme: equipped with a white satin strap with red leather underside, the new watch ditches the emeralds and blue sapphires of the last year in favor of diamonds and rubies totaling 1.2 and 1.05 carats respectively.

    Giving the young Swiss watchmaker its due, I must admit that this high quality replica watch was not designed to impress anyone with its horological or collector’s value. Its only purpose is to fit well an evening dress and a pair of earrings or a pendant, and it will probably do its job well. Enough said.

    Like the previous versions, the new watch is, too, powered by a simple ETA E01.701 quartz movement. The case is still stuffed with 161 baguette-cut diamonds that literally cover every square millimeter of its surface. The signature “mobile cylinder” (I still don’t have no idea about its purpose) is also here and it is, too, set with dozens of diamonds and rubies.

  • Christopher Ward C9 Harrison Jumping Hour limited to just 200 pieces

    Christopher has replica its new Ward C9 Harrison Jumping Hour automatic watch. If you came here searching for a “jumping hour” watch, you must be well aware of the fact that the complication itself is nothing new.

    There are a lot of watches featuring this kind of design, both highly complicated and innovative, like the gorgeous A. Lange & Sohne Zeitwerk, as well as more mundane timekeepers that come equipped with mass-produced movements with mass-produced add-on modules.

    Equipped with the well-known ETA 2824-2 automatic caliber, the gadget sports a unique Caliber JJ001 jumping hour complication module that was created by a German watchmaker Johannes Jahnke.

    The 27-year-old prodigy has become famous when the German Lang & Heyne brand presented their King Albert of Saxony chronograph watch that retailed for around €100,000 and featured a column-wheel chronograph movement of his design. He was around 22 years old at that time.

    The replica omega watch uses a pretty much standard regulator-style dial layout with a single minute hand and a trapezoidal Jumping Hour aperture at 12 o’clock. The British brand doesn’t go into details, only saying that the complication module is engaged 60 minutes per hour thus preventing any drops and surges in the supply of energy.

    A slightly recessed sector at 12 hours somehow reminds me of the beautiful Hermes Arceau Temps Suspendu automatic watch, although, to my regret, the British timekeeper is clearly not as refined with its galvanized dial and an eiloid guilloche pattern.

    The whole setup is put inside a polished stainless steel case. Being 43 millimeters in diameter and 13 millimeters thick, the body of the watch is well-proportioned, but is too large for my taste. If you will check the photo of the case-back (below,) you will immediately notice how large is the case compared to the relatively small ETA 2824-2 ebauche!

    While the Christopher Ward C9 Harrison Jumping Hour is not THAT expensive, the complication that it uses is no less ingenious. Featuring a unique jumping hour complication module, the watch is going to be the most expensive model in their whole range.

  • Parmigiani Fleurier Toric Minute Repeater Watch which inspired by the pocket watch

    Parmigiani has released its Fleurier Toric Minute Repeater hand-wound watch.
    The pocket watch in question could be just another 200-year-old artifact, if not its peculiar face.

    Instead of the usual round dial with a pair of hands that simply point at respective numerals on the hour and minute tracks, that beautifully crafted timekeeper featured a unique half-moon-style aperture that displayed 12 hour markers positioned on a short arc from around 9:30 to 2:30.

    Since Parmigiani’s watchmakers restored the watch almost from scratch, they got acquainted with the intricate mechanism from the 19th century and decided to re-introduce it as an add-on module for their Caliber PF321 movement using the 21st century technology.

    The replica omega looks like a thoroughly executed tribute to the early XIX century Perrin Freres pocket watch that the Swiss brand recently restored for the Edouard and Maurice Sandoz Foundation.

    The new timekeeper is presented in polished 18-carat white gold case. Being around 45 millimeters in diameter and almost 13 millimeters in height, the watch looks rather bulky, but that was probably done on purpose, since the timekeeper’s dimensions were clearly inspired by the pocket watch.

    Although the styling cues were, too, partly outsourced from the Perrin Freres watch, with its knurled bezel and the geometric pattern on the dial, the Parmigiani Fleurier Toric Minute Repeater seems to be closer to the heavy and imposing Art-Deco than to playful and florid baroque.

    Each hand successively traveled the arc in precisely 60 minutes and then was replaced with the next hand in line. To make the watch even more complicated, they further equipped it with a Minute Repeater module with cathedral chimes.

  • Luminox has released its new F-35 Lightning II Chronograph Watch

    Luminox has released its new F-35 Lightning II Chronograph watch. The watch sports a chunky stainless steel body 45 millimeters in diameter and around 14 millimeters in height.

    The timepiece is, too, equipped with a rotating slide-rule bezel: something that we come to expect from a modern pilot’s watch. Even the quartz calibers that power both watches (I mean, the Lumi F22 and the F35 versions) belong to the same Ronda Startech 5050 family.

    Featuring a standard tri-compax chronograph with a big date aperture at 6 hours, the watch lacks the day of week aperture right above the visual center of the dial. Well, not a great loss, to my taste.

    As usual for the brand, the watch has its hands and hour markers set with 14 LLT tritium tubes that not only glow a lot brighter than the usual Superluminova paint, but also retain the glow for as long as 25 years.

    The replica omega is released in two versions with one featuring a solid multilink bracelet crafted from surgical-grade steel and the other comes shipped on a black leather strap with contrasting orange stitching that complements the black and orange color scheme of the dial.

    That’s in theory, the brand guarantees that the LLT tubes will glow for at least a decade, even if all that time the watch will be kept in a bomb shelter deep underground. According to Ronda's official specs, the movement is built on 13 jewels and has a guaranteed power reserve of 54 months.
