Bright, bold colours beyond the habitual black, white and silver. Colours that make a luxury replica watch uk truly pop on the wrist and can grab attention from across the room. You might have expected a Buying Guide of green dials only, but we’ve gone for even bolder choices just to mix things up a bit. With that being said, here’s our Top of the Colour Replica Watches Online 2022!

No really, look at it. Today we’re watching the sweeping chronograph hand fly as we look at some of the industry’s most remarkable and technical best UK replica watches from the past year.
The Replica Patek Philippe Ref. 5470P-001 1/10th Second Monopusher Chronograph Watches
Swiss made fake Patek Philippe’s first high-beat chronograph watches is something pretty special: a platinum monopusher chronograph that hits the right balance of sporty and classic Patek. Sure, the Zenith El Primero beat the grand maison by a good 53 years, but top Patek Philippe replica watches did things their own way and retooled one of their already-great movements while breaking new ground with seven new patents out of a total of 31 patents associated with the movement.
Starting with a relatively classic blue two-register dial, Patek put modern touches like red sweeping hand that rotates around the dial once every 12 seconds, allowing you to read 1/10th second increments in between the red indices on the dial that also match the (somewhat out-of-place for Patek) “1/10th second” text at 6:00. The case measures 41mm x 13.68mm and features the signature diamond between the six o’clock lugs, in case you forget the case metal (yes, it’s still platinum).
But, like the rest of the cheap copy watches here, it’s what’s on the inside that counts. While you can read our fully-technical introducing post for more information, I’ll sum it up as succinctly as possible. Patek’s new movement is the CH 29-535 PS 1/10, based on the 2009 rattrapante chronograph caliber CH 29-535. The 1/10 second and normal chronograph hands sit together at zero, then depart when the pusher is depressed, running at different rates across the dial. The original rattrapante mechanism had to be reconfigured, starting with the escapement and oscillator, with the 1/10th hand driven off the fourth wheel of the movement. In some ways, the Swiss movements replica watches is like MB&F in that there are essentially two separate chronograph mechanisms inside the 5470P, but with an entirely different – and still incredibly impressive – result.
The Fake Omega Speedmaster Chrono Chime Watches
2022 Omega replica watches has been responsible for a lot of firsts in watchmaking beyond their “Moonwatch” fame, including the first tourbillon wristwatch and the first minute repeater wristwatch. Here, they’ve done something truly fascinating and novel, creating a rattrapante monopusher chronograph with a separate pusher at 8:00 that allows the user to request the amount of time elapsed on the chronograph. If mechanical 1:1 fake watches are already “unnecessary” objects, there’s something to love about brands experimenting to make the coolest and most unnecessary of them all.
The AAA super clone watches is gorgeous but massive, taking the shape of the CK 2998 Speedmaster and turning it into a 45mm wide and 17.37mm thick beast of a watch balanced out by a beautiful aventurine dial and bezel and on the Sedna Gold bracelet, the Speedmaster Chrono Chime weighs a crazy 326 grams.
Powering the behemoth of a watch is the new Caliber 1932 (a name celebrating the first year China Omega replica watches was the official timekeeper for the Olympics), a movement that took more than six years of development in partnership with Blancpain, and resulted in 17 patents and 575 individual components. The fake watches for sale runs off a 32.5mm hand-wound anti-magnetic co-axial movement that ticks at 5 Hz, allowing a 1/10th of a second resolution of the chronograph.
As with any chiming replica watches shop, it’s probably best if you hear it for yourself, though you’ll probably have to settle for listening online as the chances of any of us mortals seeing one in person is slim to none.
Audemars Piguet brings their tradition of wandering hours first shown in their Starwheel to the Code 11.59 collection.
Le Brassus, December 2022 – Swiss Haute Horlogerie manufacturer Audemars Piguet is delighted to present its new Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Starwheel, AAA replica watches that combines black ceramic with 18-carat white gold. Invented in the 17th century, wandering hours are a type of horological complication that display the hours using a system of satellites that gravitate along a minute scale arranged in the form of an arc. This aesthetic presentation of the hours and minutes brings a certain mystique to the reading of time. After falling from favour in the 20th century, this system was rediscovered and reintroduced by Audemars Piguet in 1991. Named the Starwheel, this unusual mechanism equipped many models up until the early 2000s. Today, the Starwheel is making a comeback in the Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet collection, whose ultra-contemporary design highlights this fascinating display while also paying tribute to a relatively unknown classic in Haute Horlogerie complications.
WANDERING HOURS IN AN ULTRA-CONTEMPORARY DESIGN
From the 17th to the 20th century, the beauty of the wandering hours complication laid in a mysteriously hidden mechanism. Reinterpreted by best UK Audemars Piguet fake watches in 1991, this complication revealed in all its splendour with its mechanism visible on the dial.
The new high quality replica Audemars Piguet Starwheel watches launched this year is a continuation of the models from the 1990s and is housed in the ultra-contemporary Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet case, whose architectural lines are enhanced by the wandering time display. The architecture of the case is reinforced by the overlapping of geometric shapes, including a round bezel, caseback and Starwheel discs as well as a rounded octagonal case middle.
Blue aventurine serves as a shimmering backdrop for the three discs that rotate on their own axes, like planets in the tiny universe of the dial. The three slightly domed discs are made of aluminium and are tinted black thanks to a PVD treatment, before being adorned with an opaline sandblasted finishing touch. The white wandering hours numerals are then transferred onto the dial. Following the contemporary design, the 120-degree minute sector, which extends in an arc from 10 to 2 o’clock, and the inner bezel, are both black with white minute indications.
PLAYING WITH MATERIALS
This new 41 mm perfect copy watches plays with materials by combining aventurine with 18-carat white gold and black ceramic. This diversity of materials as well as the refined hand finishing – a signature of the Manufacture, which creates an infinite play of light – underscores the complex design of the Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet collection. In addition to this, the 18-carat white gold bezel, lugs and caseback contrast with the black case middle and the new black ceramic crown.
Like the gold components, the ceramic case middle is meticulously finished with the iconic interplay of polished bevels and satin-finished surfaces. Furthermore, top Audemars Piguet replica watches artisans have used their expertise to achieve the perfect alignment between the multiple angular and round surfaces of the case, which is only possible thanks to their manual craftsmanship.
On the dial side, the double-curved sapphire crystal magnifies both the numerous details present in the blue aventurine and the finishing of the various elements, while also bringing increased depth to the dial. On the back of the 1:1 wholesale super clone watches, the sapphire crystal reveals the beating heart of the movement, as well as the 22-carat pink gold oscillating weight dedicated to the collection. This new reference is fitted with a textured black rubber-coated strap and a new pin buckle engraved with the Audemars Piguet logo, instead of the usual AP monogram.
A STARWHEEL MOVEMENT
IN THE CODE 11.59 BY AUDEMARS PIGUET COLLECTION
For the very first time, the emblematic Starwheel display is integrated into the Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet collection fake watches shop site with the selfwinding Calibre 4310. This next-generation hour, minute and seconds movement is directly derived from the Calibre 4309, to which a new module has been added. Combining watchmaking technology, traditional know-how and refined decorations, this movement has a minimum power reserve of 70 hours and is water-resistant to 30 metres.
The time display is achieved thanks to a central rotor operating a complete revolution in three hours and on which are fixed three aluminium discs that turn on their own axes. Each disc has four digits from 1 to 12 that take turns in pointing to the arched sector at the top of the dial on which the minute scale is printed. The 18-carat white goldtrotteuse is slightly curved at the tip to follow the relief of the discs, indicating the seconds like in a traditional timepiece.
A TRADITION OF TIMEPIECES WITH WANDERING HOURS
The wandering hours system can be traced back to the 17th century following a special request from Pope Alexander VII. Suffering from insomnia that was aggravated by the ticking of a clock, he ordered a “night clock” from the Campani brothers who were clockmakers based in Rome. He requested a clock that would be silent and easy to read in the dark. The Campani brothers presented the Pope with the first wandering hours clock, where the time was read on a semi-circle in an aperture that indicated the quarter hours and was lit from the inside. This night clock was the precursor of the wandering hours system.
From the end of the 17th century, this complication was introduced into pocket replica watches for men without backlighting. While the arc-shaped aperture still measured 180 degrees, the minutes were graduated in addition to the quarter hours for greater precision. During the following century, these luxury fake watches were offered as prestigious gifts, often bearing the effigy of famous personalities.
In the 19th century, the popularity of the wandering hours complication started to wane. The timekeepers that were produced at this time presented a sector of 120 degrees to facilitate the reading of the time. The quarter hours disappeared along with the small window for the hours, although the display remained mysterious as the mechanism was still hidden. The 360-degree wandering hours version made an appearance at this time too, although it was gradually replaced by the jumping hour that was to become typical of the Art Deco period during the first half of the 20th century.
In 1989, an Audemars Piguet watchmaker rediscovered the wandering hours system in an article in the Journal suisse d’horlogerie. This was a period of increased creativity as the industry was seeing a revival of mechanical watchmaking. In 1991, after 18 months of development, the Manufacture’s first wandering hours watch was presented (Ref. 25720). Named the “Star Wheel” – probably in reference to the three stars that support the sapphire hour discs fixed on a large central wheel – the top replica watches broke the mystery of its operation by revealing the mechanism.
Between 1991 and 2003, around 30 “Star Wheel” models were produced by the Manufacture in several different collections. These aesthetically creative timepieces varied in design with the arc-shaped aperture present in different lengths and locations, some of which also incorporated gemsetting and openworking. By reintroducing the wandering hours system, Audemars Piguet paved the way and opened a new chapter in 21st-century watchmaking.
Today, with the Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Starwheel fake watches for sale, the Manufacture is reviving this little-known complication as well as paying a highly contemporary tribute to traditional watchmaking.
Its all-gold design is inspired by the 2nd generation Speedmaster, the CK 2998, the first AAA online replica watches worn in space.
For world-renowned watchmakers, the ultimate goal is to evolve their collections of luxury Swiss fake watches with continuously updated design characteristics and movement technology. The professionals at Omega are proud to take its next leap forward into the future with its most complicated movement ever created. The new perfect UK replica Omega Speedmaster Chrono Chime Co-Axial Master Chronometer Chronograph watches made its debut at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles as a celebration of the brand’s innovative approach.
The Omega Speedmaster Chrono Chime copy watches wholesale features a 45.5mm 18K Sedna Gold case with a beautiful blue aventurine‘Grand Feu’ bezel and gold pushers. Its matching starlit night sky dial sits just beneath a gold inner bezel, with precious metal subdials and a small window open to house the chime function.
Showcasing its most complicated movement to date, the special edition Omega Speedmaster replica watches for sale is driven by Omega’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 1932. With a fully integrated chronograph and minute repeater, the advanced movement came as a collaboration between Omega and Blancpain. The luxurious handmade caliber is satin-brushed and provides an impressive 60-hour power reserve. An open sapphire backcase presents a spectacular view of the mechanism in action, while the outer case showcases intricate engravings to signify the special release from best Omega super clone watches.
The 1:1 China replica Omega Speedmaster Chrono Chime watches comes fit on a matching 18K Sedna Gold bracelet that solidifies its luxury look and feel.

Panerai partners tech company Razer to release a collabortion model in black recycled steel with electric green accents.
The new best replica Panerai Luminor Quaranta Razer PAM01353 watches retails for SGD 12,100 inclusive of GST.
Curiosity and imagination are guiding principles for AAA UK Panerai fake watches. The brand consistently seeks new methods, materials, and sustainable solutions. At times that nontraditional spirit leads to unpredictable partnerships, like the one formed between Panerai and Razer, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers. At RazerCon 2021, Razer’s digital celebration of all things about gaming and more, the brands recognized their mutual focus on measures to heal the environment and joined in support of a critical ocean preservation project to promote ocean literacy.
The alliance continues with the introduction of Luminor Quaranta Razer Special Edition, top replica watches that merges high-end horology and the iconic aesthetic of the most recognized name in esports and global gaming. Production will be limited to 500 pieces available exclusively through Panerai boutiques and Panerai.com.
The colors of the cheap copy Panerai Luminor Quaranta Razer watches —black punctuated by electric green on the small seconds dial and strap stitching—are inspired by the gaming brand’s signature colors, and its 40mm case is composed of eSteelTM coated with DLC. A next-generation metal made of recycled steel, eSteelTM exhibits the same properties as its conventional counterpart; with the addition of DLC (diamond like carbon coating) to its surface, the brushed eSteelTM case takes on a matte black finish.
Luminor Quaranta Razer Special Edition is immediately identifiable as a part of the iconic Luminor collection, a pillar of the Panerai family of adventure-ready Swiss made replica watches and distinguished by a cushion-shaped case, including a patented crown-protection bridge. But subtle engravings—a triple-headed snake, Razer’s notorious logo, on the caseback and the Razer name in the brand’s signature font on the crown-protection bridge— explicitly announce its presence as a partner in the design of the fake watches wholesale. In addition, the sandwich dial features gray Super-LumiNovaTM that glows green to harmonize with the Razer’s distinctive palette.
Powered by the P.900 caliber, the 1:1 online replica Panerai Luminor Quaranta Razer Special Edition watches measures only 4.2mm thick yet features a seconds subdial at 9 o’clock, a date window at 3 o’clock, and a three-day power reserve.
Water-resistant to 10 bar (~100 meters), Luminor Quaranta Razer Special Edition includes the quick release system that allows the strap to be replaced without any tools. Also the buckle features the new quick release system. The feature makes it easy to adapt the high quality super clone watches’ look with the additional strap in black rubber enhancing its potential as an adaptable accessory.
Recycled materials are a critical component of Luminor Quaranta Razer elsewhere: the strap is made from recycled PET derived from post-consumer plastic bottles, as a nod to both brands’ commitment to sustainability. Moreover, the fake watches for men will be delivered in packaging composed of 72% recycled material and weighing 53% less than the previous version.
The new Panerai Luminor Quaranta Razer replica watches shop site is the symbol of the commitment toward sustainability, but it does not end there. Together, Panerai and Razer have partnered with Conservation International, the environmental nonprofit organization, to support marine species research.
This research has led to the development of sustainable livelihood opportunities for coastal communities, supported the creation of new protected areas, and informed policy changes that protect these species and their ocean environment.
This initiative is an example of the “Panerai Ocean Conservation Initiative” mission developed in partnership with IOC-UNESCO in the framework of the ocean literacy programme of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. The “Panerai Ocean Conservation Initiative” is a worldwide educational campaign among 100 universities in the world to enlighten students on how a luxury brand, like Panerai, can be a force for good for the planet thanks to its serious commitment towards sustainability and to educate thousands of students on the importance of the ocean.
For the first time, the 41 mm case and bracelet of the luxury replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watches Perpetual Calendar are entirely honed from blue ceramic. A light material resistant to wear and scratches, ceramic accentuates the slenderness of this timepiece measuring 9.5 mm in thickness.
Ceramic requires precise manufacturing and meticulous hand-decorations to respond to the Manufacture’s high quality requirements. Zirconium Oxide (ZrO2) powder, modified to obtain a blue pigmentation once baked, is mixed with dedicated binder content before being transformed into ceramic through a complex industrial flow requiring different stages of high-precision machining. The exact composition of ceramic remains the secret of its manufacturers. The components achieve their final colour only once they have been sintered at more than 1,400°C. Reaching a homogeneous colour represents an additional challenge as ceramic’s final colour depends on the sintering temperature, which allows no variation.
The Le Brassus artisans have finished each ceramic component with the same detailed and meticulous hand-finishes as they would if they were honed from precious metals: the Manufacture’s trademark alternation of satin-brushing and polished chamfers has been applied by hand with extreme care, resulting in a rich play of light which enhances both the ceramic and the multifaceted architecture of the top UK fake Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watches.
A Complication Endowed With Electric blue Hues
The Manufacture’s artisans have harmonised the blue-toned colours of the Grande Tapisserie dial, subdials and inner bezel, obtained by Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD), to the blue ceramic case and bracelet, conferring the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar replica watches wholesale a contemporary monochromatic aesthetic. The 18-carat white gold applied hour-markers and facetted hands, filled with luminescent coating for optimum visibility in the dark, provide a bright contrast.
With its three calendar subdials and moon phase aperture equally distributed on the dial, the high quality copy watches presents a fine aesthetic balance, while granting optimum legibility of the hours, minutes, day, date, week, month, astronomical moon and leap year indication.
An Elegant Perpetual Calendar Movement
This new Swiss movements replica watches is equipped with the selfwinding Calibre 5134, which testifies to the Manufacture’s savoir-faire in terms of classic complications. This mechanism automatically takes into account the number of days in the month and correctly displays the prevailing date even in leap years. Assuming the best super clone watches is kept regularly wound, the date will not require manual adjustment until 2100 to stay in line with the Gregorian calendar.
Launched in 2015, this movement measuring just 4.3 mm in thickness necessitated the rearrangement of numerous components, including its 22-carat gold openworked oscillating weight. The bulkiest part of the rotor has been positioned to its outer edge which is recessed within a channel encircling the movement, thereby mitigating height. Likewise, the choice of a suspended barrel has contributed to reducing the movement’s thickness.
A Legacy Of Calendar Watches
Astronomical fake watches shop site are deeply rooted in the Vallée de Joux’s watchmaking history, as watchmakers have always drawn inspiration from the region’s clear night sky. Perfect Audemars Piguet replica watches’ uninterrupted history of astronomical complications started with the two founders’ school pocket watch masterpieces, both completed around 1875. The one of Jules Louis Audemars (Audemars Piguet Heritage Collection, Inv. 8), which combined a perpetual calendar with a quarter repeater mechanism and the rare independent deadbeat second function, saw several evolutions at the company’s workbenches over the following twenty years. Yet, during the company’s first two decades, calendar complications accounted for less than 10% of its total production.
2022 replica Audemars Piguet’s first full calendar wristwatches was put into production in 1921 and sold three years later to the renowned retailer Gübelin. From 1921 to 1970, 188 full calendar wristwatches were produced – a small part of the Manufacture’s total production during these years. In 1955, the company released the world’s first perpetual calendar wristwatch with leap year indication, 9 examples of which were created between 1955 and 1957.
The brand broke another record in 1978 at the height of the quartz crisis when it released the world’s thinnest selfwinding perpetual calendar wristwatch of its time. Conceived in secret by three devoted watchmakers, the ground-breaking perpetual calendar wristwatch achieved its extra-thinness (3.95 mm) by using the ultra-thin Calibre 2120, launched in 1967, as a base. A total of 7,219 perpetual calendar wristwatches fitted with this calibre were put into production in the following 15 years. The success of Calibre 2120/2800 ushered in a new era of growth for China Audemars Piguet fake watches and paved the way for the revival of classical complications. This calibre notably equipped many Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar models as early as 1984.
Launched in 2015, Calibre 5134 adapted the perpetual calendar movement to a larger Royal Oak 41 mm case diameter (Model 26574), while retaining a thin profile with its 4.3 mm in thickness. This calibre has powered numerous perpetual calendar replica watches for men across the Manufacture’s collection ever since.
In 2018, the Manufacture opened yet another chapter in its history of perpetual calendar timepieces with the advent of the revolutionary 41 mm Royal Oak Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin, known as RD#2 – the world’s thinnest automatic perpetual calendar wristwatch upon release. This 6.3mm-thick watch houses Calibre 5133, a newly engineered ultra-thin movement measuring a mere 2.89 mm in height, heralding yet another generation of astronomical AAA fake watches.
Officine Panerai makes some of the most recognisable 1:1 replica watches on the market today. Not one to cram its dials with over-complicated design flourishes, the Italian watchmaker prefers to take a more minimalist approach to design – instead, relying on its impressive nautical history and a signature design language that’s immediately recognisable.
Panerai was founded in Florence, Italy in 1860 by then-35-year-old Giovanni Panerai. The original shop was located at the iconic Ponte Alle Grazie bridge, but when his grandson Guido took over the business just 30 years later, it was relocated to Piazza San Giovanni, one of the main public squares in the city.
It was Guido who was responsible for developing Panerai’s famous Radiomir luminous material (and subsequent nomenclature) in 1915 and shortly after, Panerai was commissioned to make diver’s watches for the Italian navy. These AAA UK fake watches were made in collaboration with Rolex and were huge, coming in at 47mm – a uniquely large watch diameter Panerai still offers today.
These days, Panerai produces a majority of its movements in-house and is well-known for its material innovations, such as its proprietary Carbotech and Fibratech compounds. Their Radiomir and Luminor luminescent compounds have since been phased out in favour of Super-LumiNova in recent years, due to their radioactive properties.
High quality Panerai replica watches have secured a special place in the world of horology due to their hefty construction, use of innovative materials and their general aesthetic. They’re a true icon. We’ve rounded up some of the best online Panerai copy watches currently available, although making such a shortlist was no easy task…

Panerai Submersible Goldtech Fake Watches
Reference Number: PAM01164
Case Material: Goldtech
Size: 42mm
Swiss movements replica Panerai’s Submersible collection watches used to be a sub-collection within the Luminor family, but in 2019 it broke out into its own, fully-fledged model line.

WOW’s Contributing Editor, Asaph Low caught up with Alessandro Ficarelli, Chief Marketing Officer of Panerai, who shares his views about eSteel, the importance of communication with clients and the motivation behind Panerai’s new partnership with Watchfinder & Co.
First off, congratulations on the amazing novelties. Which collection do you personally like the most?
It’s like asking who is my favourite child you know but jokes aside, I’m wearing the Panerai Submersible Luna Rossa replica watches for sale which I love as we speak. The Submersible is one of my favourites, the Carbotech (PAM01232) if not the Bianco version (PAM01226). Its (PAM01226) combination with the green strap reminds me of summer!
Sustainable watchmaking is Panerai’s direction moving forward. How will Panerai communicate this effectively and accurately to clients?
We are upgrading our website to have the sustainability pages on the landing page. Roughly two years ago we removed the instruction leaflets, this year we are presenting a new packaging box made from recycled materials. Products are just the tip of the iceberg of what you see, it’s also communicating processes, people, the building as well as ambassadors such as Mike Horn. Our sustainable or Ecologico framework as we call it internally extends from the organisation to our subsidiaries.
What are some challenges Panerai faced when working with Steel?
We started first with the EcoTitanium with Mike Horn a few years ago and we realised we’re able to manufacture and machine some recycled titanium. The challenges of eSteel are having to rework, purify and add the same quality standards as regular steel. The purer steel gets, the harder it is to machine with our tools as the machining heads get damaged easily. The number of rejects rate is quite high but we are improving along the way. We are declaring by 2025, we will move all the production of standard steel to eSteel which is made from 95 per cent recycled steel.
When Panerai copy watches online site is planning for new products, how do you guys strike a balance between listening to the customer’s needs and wants versus pushing the brand’s vision?
This is a very good question. When we present sustainable products, the new generation is asking why we didn’t do it before? We listen to our customers. The Swiss movements replica Panerai Submersible QuarantaQuattro watches is the result of the client-centric philosophy of Panerai. We are getting more feedback, data, and information than ever before about what our customers want or are looking for through our boutiques and digital presence. Also, we need to respect the DNA and aesthetic codes of Panerai, so we create evolutions and even reduce the average size. We have the 38mm Luminor Due now and are communicating directly with ladies which in the past didn’t exist. Even if Panerai’s history is about masculine cheap super clone watches or instruments made for the Italian Navy, in the end, we have the brand stretch to reach out to clients who are attracted by the Italian side of the brand, the Italian lifestyle and the mix of Italian and Swiss watchmaking luxury.
The Paneristi is one of the most renowned luxury fake watches communities, how does Panerai continue to engage this group and more importantly reach out to new customer bases?
Just this morning I had a meeting with the gentleman who created Paneristi 21 years ago and an Italian Paneristi reached out to me during my commute. Now we are more client-centric and it’s reflected in our availability via email, Whatsapp or other social media platforms. Our CEO Jean-Marc Pontroue brought about this new philosophy too and answers everyone because we have nothing to hide and with this transparency, we can talk openly. We accept the feedback from clients, we listen, listening is key and we do our best to build the brand and develop our objectives.
What is the motivation behind the new initiative with Watchfinder & Co.?
Everyone realised in recent years the secondhand market is growing, especially the guys behind Watchfinder & Co. It’s about participating in the secondhand market to know your customers, the data and insights we get from it are invaluable. If a customer sells a Panerai, what do they buy? Is it a new Panerai or another brand? Also, it meets our objectives of sustainability as we give a second life to the perfect replica watches. A customer can sell his Panerai for new watches which we offer to Watchfinder’s London, Geneva and Paris boutiques. Sustainability is not only about recycling material but activating the secondary economy and trading is one of those activities.
Panerai is working on many exciting collaborations, the most recent being with Brabus. What are certain considerations Panerai takes when it comes to picking the right organisations to work with?
In the instance of Brabus, we both shared an objective to reduce the environmental impact and came together with ideas and solutions. The Panerai Submersible Brabus Edition fake watches store is based on the Brabus Shadow 900. Our main partner is with Luna Rossa for the America’s Cup, about sailing and performance, so we thought we could have something similar with Brabus and their speedboats. Along the way, we realised we have many shared clients who like Brabus and Panerai, and they want something unique.
Swiss 1:1 replica watches brand IWC has appointed supermodel and environmentalist, Gisele Bündchen, as its first Environmental & Community Projects Advisor.
The brand announced Bündchen’s new role to coincide with the publication of its annual Sustainability Report, for which she has written the foreword, which outlines an “ambitious roadmap for the future” called ‘Engineering Beyond Time’.
AAA UK IWC fake watches also announced the introduction of its new Miratex straps, offering a plant and mineral-based leather alternative with no plastic or petrochemicals.
Bündchen has served as a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Environmental Program since 2009, engaging with causes that advocate for biodiversity and wildlife and has been honoured by Havard University and UCLA for her longstanding commitment to environmental issues.
Ahead of the announcement, Hypebeast spoke to the supermodel about her new role.
What does sustainability mean to you?
“I feel like sustainability is to understand the impact you are having, we’re all going to have an impact living on this planet, so it’s understanding and making conscious decisions about how you are choosing things, the impact we have is based on choices we make.”
“That can be as simple as understanding the amount of waste you have, how many times a week you take out the garbage, how am I shopping, what am I choosing, what are the companies I choose to buy from, what are their policies, how are they impacting the world? Because we choose with our purchases.”
“I always tell my kids, ‘things don’t disappear’, when anything is made, an object, whatever it is, it’s in the world, it exists and it’s going to end up somewhere. A lot of things are now recycled, but where do they end up? It’s ‘not out of sight, out of mind,’ I’m constantly stressing this to my kids, I love the whole thing – reduce, reuse, recycle.”
“How much food do we need? How much food gets wasted and thrown away because we’re not planning and organizing ourselves in a better way? It comes from your lifestyle, how are you living, really asking yourself the question, do I need this?”
Have you always been environmentally aware or is this a recent change for you?
“I grew up in the south of Brazil, in a small town. I grew up in a house with two bedrooms and eight people. My clothes came to me from my older sister, I have five sisters, or came from my cousins, we always recycled everything, there was never waste. We’d buy a pot of food and then my grandmother would make jam and use the same pot. So there was nothing that was trash, you always reused everything. I grew up that way, so it comes very naturally for me to think that way.”
“I’ve always been fascinated by indigenous people, because I feel like they have an incredible connection to nature and when I had the opportunity to visit the Amazon in the early 2000s, it was amazing to see how they live, there’s no waste, they’ve been living in communities like this for hundreds and hundreds of years in this way with minimal impact. How can I live more like them? Nature is our home, nature is our temple, we need to take care of our temple and the more we can live in harmony with it, the better it’s going to be for us and for future generations. Becoming a mother, it became even more important, because I began asking myself what kind of world am I leaving for my kids.”
“So I grew up that way, but motherhood really put it front and centre.”
Could you tell us more about the Community Projects element of the role?
“Social and environmental are not separate, I don’t believe they can be, because I think when you have a very sick environment – when the area where you live is sick – that the society is sick. Social and environmental is one because we are nature.”
“Luxury replica IWC watches understand that as well, this is why the purpose of their overall company is about transparency and responsibility, circularity in their process and really understanding all of that is what I’m very excited to learn from them, because they’re really ahead in the game, they’ve probably been working on this for over ten years, before people were really talking about it, and I’ve been working on it for almost 20 years, so there’s a lot that we can learn and share from each other. The question here is how can we make this bigger, how can we expand this, make it broader and share what we’ve learned with other companies.”
How did you get involved with perfect IWC copy watches?
“They called and said they were interested in working with me, and I ask anybody that I work with ‘what is your social and environmental policies?’ because I don’t want to work with anyone that is not really serious about that, and they started showing all the different reports and the different things they were doing and I was impressed. Coming from fashion for almost 27 years now, it’s impressive to see their level of commitment and real engagement in all the different areas of their company and to make commitments to say ‘we’re going to be completely sustainable in using renewable energies by 2022,’ and they did that. Very few companies can say they’ve done that.”
“And I love that they are making a product, where the whole goal for them is to be something that is timeless. That’s beautiful. In fashion, that can happen, I have jackets that I’ve had since I was 19 years old and I’m 42, and I love it, these are my favorite pieces. When you make things with quality then it has history, it has energy. Something that is recyclable doesn’t become less, I think it becomes more valuable because it has a different energy to it. They recycle all the different materials that they use.”
“First of all they try to fix the thing you have, if you have Swiss movements fake watches face that’s 100 years old and you still want to fix it, say it was your grandfather’s best super clone watches, that’s amazing, tell me how many companies do that. You buy a TV and two years later its broke, my grandparents had a TV and it would last 20 or 30 years. So I think it’s admirable to have a company that makes that a priority. The whole world needs to catch onto this wagon, my intention working with them is how can we help other companies be inspired and almost have an open source policy of how we were able to do all those things and inspire other companies to figure out how to do it themselves.”
In April, the president of the Swiss Confederation (and de facto head of state), Ignazio Cassis, visited Japan to hold talks with the country’s prime minister, Kishida Fumio. As is customary, gifts were to be exchanged, and Cassis’ office requested an example of what had just become the hottest Swiss watch to launch in years, if not decades: the MoonSwatch, a $260 Swatch-produced version of AAA UK replica Omega’s Speedmaster Moonwatches, the chronograph famous for being worn by NASA astronauts on the moon.
The Swiss president, however, was out of luck. “We were pleased, but we told them, the only way that he can get the high quality fake watches is if he sends someone from his office queueing and hoping that at the Swatch shop in Bern they can find it,” says Nick Hayek Jr., chief executive of Swatch Group, the world’s largest watch producer, which owns both the Swatch and Omega brands.
Hayek, a 67-year-old billionaire who drives himself to work in a Mini and has a pirate’s flag flying outside his office, prides himself on the fact that privileged access—a feature of the luxury 1:1 replica watches world—is entirely absent with the MoonSwatch despite the intense demand. “It doesn’t help if you have deep pockets. The Patek Philippe and Rolex client, the Breguet client, the Richard Mille client, they all rang. They all want one. But even if you give us $10,000, it makes no difference. You have to wait, you have to buy it in the store. That’s the game changer.”
But finding the MoonSwatch at any Swatch shop anywhere has been a question of luck, timing, and sheer endurance since its launch on March 26 to scenes of pandemonium around the globe.
News had been dripped out gradually during the preceding week. On March 17, cryptic ads appeared in select newspapers with blank pages bearing the legend: “It’s time to change your Omega … Swatch” and “It’s time to change your Swatch … Omega.” Social media feeds hinted at something with a planetary theme before the timepieces were announced on March 24: eleven Swatch watches faithfully resembling the iconic best Swiss copy Omega Speedmaster Moonwatches, but battery-powered, in bright colors, and made from Swatch’s ecoplastic alternative, Bioceramic.
The colorways were inspired by planets in the solar system: there was the Mission to the Sun in bright yellow, the Mission to Neptune in deep blue, the Mission to Jupiter in beige and orange, and of course the black Mission to the Moon, closely resembling the Omega original.
As a mash-up of high and low, luxury and affordable, legendary and novelty, the MoonSwatch follows the blueprint of ultra-hyped, worlds-collide collaborations that have become a staple of the fashion world: Gucci x Adidas, Tiffany x Supreme, Balenciaga x Barbie. In fact, it’s a model that Swatch itself pioneered: Its collaborations with artists, designers, brands, institutions, and more (including NASA itself last year) have been central to its identity—“joy of life, and positive provocation” as Hayek defines it—since the 1980s. But bringing this to the austere world of luxury Swiss movements replica watches, with a riff on one of the most collected, lionized, and theoretically untouchable models ever made, had little precedent.
“These are two brands known worldwide, two brands with a clear message on the opposite side of the scale, and a total surprise for everyone,” says Hayek when I ask him why the MoonSwatch has caught on so. “It’s simple to understand for everybody, whatever background you have. It was straight to the heart of the people.”
The Dark Side of the MoonSwatch
Once news of the product was out, along with the message that distribution would be limited to just 110 physical Swatch boutiques worldwide, the hype train took over. At Oxford Street in London, the queueing began soon after the announcement on March 24, even though the super clone watches for sale would not be on sale for two more days. Around the world tents were pitched, lines formed, and crowds grew.
On sale day, store managers found themselves facing throngs of thousands, many of them “scalpers”—seasoned resellers who ply their trade in the worlds of sneaker culture, street fashion, and PlayStations, intent on charging high markups. Swatch’s original plan to allow buyers two fake watches wholesale online each had by then been reduced to one each, hardly helping a mood that had reportedly changed, in several cases, from camaraderie to restlessness and agitation. It hasn’t changed much since.
At 9 am on March 26, stores opened. London’s Carnaby Street location lasted half an hour before police were called, and all three London shops were forced to shut. In New York, scuffles broke out amid rumors of a stabbing in the line. A Swatch shop in Singapore was forced to shut for 10 days in a bid to let the mayhem play itself out first.
At locations around the world, police were needed to assist staff as the vast majority of punters left empty-handed: most of the shops had fewer than 200 Swiss made replica watches available. Deals were done within queues as scalpers flipped watches for profit to those waiting outside. Within minutes of the first sales, MoonSwatches were hitting eBay and other platforms, attracting bids into the thousands.
“We informed everybody: It’s not limited; don’t buy on the internet from flippers; you will be able at some point in time to get your MoonSwatch,” says Nick Hayek when we meet at Swatch Group’s HQ in Biel, Switzerland, a couple of months after the launch. He rejects the idea that Swatch could have been better prepared. “We knew for sure this would be a success, because the product is beautiful, provocative, high quality, and the price is fantastic, and we kept it a secret. But what happened … I think nobody in the world could have expected that. It was really crazy.”
The crowds may have dispersed, but the MoonSwatch’s continuing lack of availability, with restocks selling out in moments and Swatch declining to make them available online, has led to widespread consternation. Some of the comments on Swatch’s Instagram posts, not to mention across Reddit, Discord, and Facebook, do not make pretty reading.
Except, that is, from those who happen to have gotten hold of a MoonSwatch. What could have been construed as a downmarket desecration of a legendary timepiece has received near universal enthusiasm: It’s imaginative, fun, expressive, and reaches across cultural divides.
“It’s very daring and very positive,” says James Marks, head of Phillips Perpetual, the contemporary watch division of the Phillips auction house. “It’s captivating the next generation of collector with a play on something that’s otherwise inaccessible to them. You now have all these people globally who have this bright fake watches shop site on their wrist that has history, intrigue, the connection to space.”
“I’d love to get one,” Marks adds, “but I haven’t even handled one.”
The targeting of this next generation is perhaps the most enterprising part of the MoonSwatch launch. Luxury watch buyers are not young: A recent study of 8,000 people by an insurance firm in the UK found the average age of the Rolex owner in the country to be 68. Meanwhile, the Apple Watch now outsells the entire combined Swiss watch industry, taking its biggest chunks out of the market for battery-powered perfect replica watches, where Swatch operates. What better way to expose a completely new, younger audience to Omega than through such an affordable collaboration? And it seems to be working. Hayek says that since the arrival of the MoonSwatch, Omega stores are seeing a spike in sales and footfall.
According to Derek Morrison, general manager EMEA for StockX, an online marketplace for collectible sneakers and streetwear, the MoonSwatch has had huge cut-through with the platform’s Gen Z audience. The site reported more than 2,000 MoonSwatch trades in less than a week after launch and had seen over 11,000 trades by June.
“It’s the best-selling watch release in StockX history, and it’s had the highest premium of any item released this year,” Morrison says. “There’s a lot of foresight, from a branding point of view. If this is a discovery point for best quality Omega fake watches, it compares with what Virgil Abloh [the late fashion designer and Off-White entrepreneur] did so well: using an approachable medium to shine a light on things that have been reserved for the elite, and inspiring them to learn more about them.”
More simply, Swatch will obviously benefit financially from MoonSwatch, which will give the brand a welcome revenue boost. In the early 1990s, Swatch sold 20 million top replica watches a year. But sales in 2021 are down to 3.2 million. Morgan Stanley estimates Swatch could sell up to 500,000 MoonSwatches this year alone, providing revenue of $128 million. If the MoonSwatch’s estimated gross margin is indeed approaching 90 percent ($115 million), it would restore the brand’s fortunes. And keep in mind MoonSwatch has not yet been launched in China. Once it is, total annual sales could hit one million units.
