The characteristic Breitling watch is much larger than the standard face, in part to display the many functions available on most of them. The large face provides better visibility, of course but it is obvious that most of these functions would not be used in day-to-day living conditions. The watch itself has become a luxury status symbol and is widely copied and marketed in the replica market. The primary intent in the production of the watch was as a tool used by aviators. These watches contain features, which might prove helpful to people in this occupation.

Other models have an automatic winding mechanism, which has no electronic components. Additional features found in many Breitling watches are a date display, moon phase, split second and the flyback function.

The manufacturing of all Breitling watches is done in the city of La Chaux-de-Fonds where so many other products related to Swiss watches are produced. Breitling’s history goes back to 1884, but the product most associated with the Breitling is more properly classified as a wristwatch chronograph. The instrument was popular with pilots from the beginning. By 1936, Breitling was named the official supplier for the Royal Air Force. The Chronomat, produced in 1942 contained a circular slide rule.

The expansion of the brand to the U.S. military and the creation of the Navitimer in 1954 containing the first navigation computer made the watch the hands on favorite by pilots from that time forward. Astronaut Scott Carpenter was wearing a Breitling Cosmonaught chronograph during his Aurora 7 orbital flight. 1969 saw the introduction by Breitling of the world’s first self-winding chronograph, which revolutionized the entire Swiss watch industry. In 1984 Breitling reintroduced the Chronomat, which became Breitling’s best selling model, a position it retains today. Another popular model, the Aerospace was launched in 1985.

The Breitling Emergency version has been credited with the life saving feature of a radio transmitter broadcasting on the distress frequency of 121.5 MHz. This feature can be used as a ELT-type beacon. For military use, the Breitling can be equipped with a transmitter which broadcasts on the military frequency. After 2009, the Satellite system will no longer the frequency, although the signal was never strong enough to receive signals from the miniaturized transmitter.

Two British pilots activated their Breitling Emergency watches transmitters after their helicopter crashed in Antarctic waters. They were successfully rescued by pilots homing in on their transmitter signals.

Those who do not hold a pilot’s license can own the Breitling Emergency only by signing an agreement which states they will bear all costs of a rescue mission should their emergency beacon be accidentally triggered.

Breitling manufactures both quartz models such as the Aeromarine Colt and mechanical steel cased models such as the Breitling Bentley Motors model featuring a 38 jewel self-winding movement which is priced at over $7000. There are also Breitling models in titanium and gold, although they are somewhat less expensive than those with the self-winding movement.



Replica Gucci Watches

In 1994, Gucci Group NV was incorporated. The same year, Tom Ford, previously Chief Women’s Ready-to-Wear Designer, was appointed as Creative Director of Gucci’s entire product range. His seminal fall/winter 1995-1996 collection transformed Gucci’s style with a remix of classic and modern, tradition and innovation. It was an immediate hit with the critics and the public and marked the re-launch of the Gucci brand.

In 1995, Domenico De Sole was appointed as President and CEO of Gucci Group NV after holding the position of President of Gucci America Inc. (1984-1994) and Chief Operating Officer of the Gucci Group (1994-1995). The De Sole-Ford team would reinvent Gucci over the following years.

In October of 1995, Investcorp floated 48.2% of Gucci Group NV on the New York and Amsterdam Stock Exchanges. The Initial Public Offering was positively received by the market, leading Investcorp to offer the remaining 51.8% of the company five months later. Gucci’s shares were in international demand.

Gucci Timepieces was created in November 1997 when Gucci Group NV acquired the operating assets of the Severin Montres Group, one of the world’s largest manufacturers and distributors of watches. Severin Montres, a Gucci licensee for 23 years, had developed an extensive directly operated distribution network in the United States, Canada, Hong Kong, the UK and Germany, as well as third party arrangements elsewhere.

In 1999 Gucci Group NV acquired Yves Saint Laurent Couture and Sanofi Beauté‚ a prestigious perfume and cosmetics company that boasts YSL fragrances such as Opium and Paris, as well as a wealth of other perfume licenses including Roger & Gallet, Krizia, Fendi and Oscar de la Renta. In 1999, Gucci Group NV also acquired a 70% controlling interest in Sergio Rossi, a leading Italian luxury shoe company.

The growth of Gucci Group NV continued in 2000 with the acquisition of Boucheron International S.A. Founded in France in 1858, Boucheron has a long established heritage as one of the world’s most exclusive jewellery, watch and perfume brands. Also in 2000, Gucci secured further control over its brands by obtaining license rights held by Cartier International for Yves Saint Laurent Couture watches and jewellery. Both moves reflect Gucci’s confidence in the global potential of the jewellery and watches segments of the luxury goods market.

Erin Ryan asked:


Designer watches are taking the watch market by storm, with designer options out selling many traditional watch brands such as Rotary, Seiko and Accurist.

The advent of the designer watch has changed the public’s perception of a watches being practical and boring purchase, to a stylish and fashionable one. Buying the right designer watch to go with the right outfit is now just as important as buying the right pair of shoes or the right belt.

This season we have seen even more designers joining the growing trend of releasing designer watches. Brands such as Channel, Dior D&G, Emporio Armani have now been joined by Playboy, Miss Sixty and Marc Ecko.

White has been a massive trend this season, with its dominant presence on the catwalks and our favourite celebrities. The watch world of fashion has also followed suit, with D&G creating the Sandpiper and the Sea Quest watches that cater for the true fashion follower.

However still massive this summer autumn is bling crystal or if you have the money diamonds are definitely the buzz word this season. Many of the big companies have team up with the crystal giant Swarovski to bring the effect of diamonds at fraction of the price. Guess have brought out the Prism range a range of designer watches which use Swarovski crystal to great effect to create a bezel encrust in bling but at a fraction of the price of diamonds. Others like the D&G Sitting Bull bring both the culture for bling and leather straps together so the wearer can wear with aplomb.

If however it is a watch to look like the stars you are after then maybe you look no further than the Navy by Police this black pvd watch looks not to dissimilar to Channels J12 worn by Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton and Sienna Miller and many other stars.

Watches have never been so fashionable and so affordable and readily available, so we hope our run down of this season’s watches helps you get the watch you have always wanted.



Replica Chanel Watches

Cartier was found in 1847 by Louis-Francois Cartier. Less than 30 years later, in 1874, Cartier’s son, Alfred, took over the running of the company. Yet, it was the grandsons of Louis-Francois, Louis, Pierre, and Jacques, who really made the name Cartier as popular as it is today.

The Cartier’s retained the ownership and the direction of the company until 1964 when the sons of Jacques and Louis and the daughter of Pierre sold the business. Yet, this did not last for very long. Between the years of 1974 and 1976 Cartier and its affiliates in New York City and London were bought back by the Cartier family.

Cartier now has some of their largest and most luxurious stores in New York, Waikiki, San Francisco, Tokyo, Boston, Beverly Hills, Paris, London, Vancouver, and Shanghai.

The Cartier brand is known for extravagant, elegant and luxurious jewelry and watches. Currently, they have collections of purses and bags, watches, fragrances, pens, eyewear, lighters, clocks, cufflinks, scarves, rings, necklaces, earrings, and other pieces of jewelry.

Cartier’s watches cost in the thousands and tens of thousands of dollars, ranging from the just over a thousand all the way up to nearly one hundred thousand dollars. Their pieces are not to be taken lightly and are for people who are looking for the absolute best in fine timepieces.

Many of the finer Cartier wristwatches are very stylized with ornate designs and surprising colors. Their collections range from these quite artistic watches to the simple yet fine classic watches.

Cartier has many watch collections. Its collections include the Collection Privee Cartier Paris, Cartier D’art, Declaration, Lanieres, La Dona de Cartier, Santos de Cartier, Ballerine, Baignoire, and Ronde Louis Cartier – to name but a few.

Collection Privee Cartier Paris entails 53 watches that encompass the basic, sleek, black and white look of the modern businessman. Most of the watches in this collection have an 18 carat pink gold face with an alligator band. They also have a water resistance of 100 feet.

The Cartier D’art collection has an almost exotic feel to it. These beautiful, specially-made watches with intricate designs of animals and landmarks from across the world are definitely one of a kind. One watch, is exclusive to the country of Russia (the Santos 100) and is made with an 18 carat yellow gold octagonal crown with diamonds. It has a drawing of the Kremlin in the face with three diamonds inside. It’s also made with a blue alligator strap and has a water resistance of 100 feet.

Lastly, the La Dona de Cartier collection is a decadent array of feminine yet bold watches. Watches in this collection have light pink and dark red bands and 18 carat white and yellow gold bracelets, some of which are set with diamonds. All of these have the same basic design with an octagonal crown, with two different sizes. They also have a water resistance of 100 feet.

Recently there has been a growing trend within the fashion world for watch making. Traditional watch brands are being pushed out of the market by fashionable and stylish watches by some of the biggest names in the fashion world.

Increasingly, we are seeing clothes designers transfer their design skills seen on the runways of Paris and Milan on to the wrists of everyday people. The big fashion houses have seen a niche market for a common necessity for most people to be branded with their own labels.

This year alone has seen American rap wear giants Marc Ecko join the battle for consumer wrist space, bringing ‘bling’ to a whole new level. Famous female jeans brand Miss Sixty are also preparing to join the already considerable ranks of Emporio Armani, D&G, Guess and DKNY to name but a few in launching a line of designer watches. These massive brand names and designer fashion houses are bringing haute couture and an increased style to the world of watches.

With such massive brand names becoming known in the watch industry, the consumer is spoilt for choice when it comes to designer watches. One watch is no longer enough for all occasions; designer brands like D&G and Emporio Armani are making fashionable watches accessible to all.

The issue surrounding the real question of designer watches is one of quality. Are we sacrificing old fashion quality and durability for a flashy name?

Many big fashion houses actually license their brand name out to the most well respected watch manufacturers to work in partnership. Well controlled licensing has allowed fashion houses like DKNY and D&G to enter the watch market place without loosing their integrity as a top designer of haute couture goods, and therefore maintaining the highest quality of watches available.

The licensing agreement between Fossil and Giorgio Armani’s Emporio Armani brand is widely accredited as one of the most successful of all licensing agreements within the watch industry. Fossil Inc has since attained licensing agreements with the likes of DKNY, Diesel and Burberry because of the great success that they have had with the Emporio Armani line of watches. Fossil have created designer watches for these brands that are not only fashionable and stylish but are also well manufactured and come with fantastic guarantees that prove that the products are fit to wear the designer names such as DKNY and Emporio Armani.

Fossil are not alone in the creation of designer watches though licensing. Over the past seven years, one of the biggest sensations has been that of D&G timepiece range, creating iconic watches like the Jaclyn, a watch that made ‘bling’ accessible and wanted by women across the globe.

The licensing of the D&G brand to Italy’s biggest, most respected watch manufacturer Binda Group has seen the D&G brand grow into a world renowned watch label. This agreement has seen consumers build an in inexhaustible thirst for D&G watches.

The demand is not only because the watches have D&G embossed or stamped on the dial of the watch, it is due to the quality of timepieces made by Binda Group. The Binda Group produce the watches of such high quality specifications, consumers can be safe in the knowledge that their D&G watch will serve them well and look stylish on their wrist for years to come.

Though tightly controlled, the licensing of these massive designer names has created a new niche in the watch market place. The quality of the build of these watches is at the cornerstone of this new market. With many of the traditional brands now trying to force their way into this market be sure that designer watches are here to stay. Buying a designer watch is just as safe as buying a Rotary or a Seiko watch yet you now have style that would never previously be thought of until the designer names brought their skills to the world of designer watches.

Today the market of replica watches is expanding fast. Thus it represents both a positive and negative aspect. Surely the genuine watch manufacturers are concerned about this fact but at the same time many people enjoy buying less expensive watches of famous brands. The market of replica watches is divided mainly into three categories: low-quality, medium-quality - very often these are produced in China, whereas the high-quality models are produced mainly in Switzerland and Japan.

Depending on the quality of a replica watch its durability may vary. Today mainly the recent watch models are copied. The most famous brand names are Rolex, Panerai, Cartier, Breitling and Breguet. The number of fake watches on the market depends mostly on the popularity of the brand.

Low-quality replica watches can be easily recognized. Some face details of a replica watch can be incorrect or very poorly reproduced. Very often street-quality replica watches confuse names of the brands as well as some parts. Thus one may find a watch of a certain brand with a bezel, hands or bracelet of another watch.

At the same time low-quality replica watches may not have some additional features that the real watch has. If somehow you will find a replica watch selling on the street that has a specific additional function then it probably is not functioning. The most commonly spotted mistake is the misspellings on the watch. For example “Breguet” may be written as “Breget”.

Replica watches of middle quality do not have such easy-to-spot mistakes. However, these are still recognized. Some of them, though having almost every part produced, may not have see-through backs. Middle-quality replica watches do not copy some unusual features like for example a helium relief valve. The mechanism for creating such a feature is complicated and even if you see such valve on a watch it is surely non-functional.

A replica chronograph of a middle-quality made have several sub-dials that may malfunction and its stopwatch can be produced only for decorative look. The bracelet, though accurately copied, may have a less complicated structure of the links. All in all, the main thing about middle-quality replica watches is that they are made more accurately on the outside than the low-quality ones but at the same time may have some features that are made only for the look and not for usage.

High-quality replica watches are made of high-quality materials, like, for example, stainless steel. Their face and sometimes case backs are covered with sapphire crystal, which is a scratch-resistant material. Such replica watches are copied with attention to every detail and obviously their price is higher than low or middle-quality replicas. The manufacturers of high-quality replica watches are able to copy such details like the original company’s logo and serial numbers.

These watches are highly in demand and their share on the market is growing. Replica watches that are accurately copied are sold at various prices ranging from several hundreds and up. However, these are still lower than the prices of genuine watches, which is why people buy replica watches. High-quality replica watches provide a relatively high-quality at a lower price.

These timepieces are almost identical to the original watches. The main difference is the mechanism. The genuine watches whether have a more sophisticated mechanism or have some special engravings on several parts of the mechanism. There are various on-line stores that sell qualitative replica watches. They provide full information and photos of the product so the web-surfer could easily analyze the designs, functions and prices of replica watches.

Replica Cartier Watches

There are a number of genuine replica watches available in the world today and this is primarily because of the monetary discontent that a lot of people have felt when it comes to purchasing genuine watches. These are primarily really high class name brands like Rolex, Bretling or Chanel, and because Rolex or Bretling watches can cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars, there are definitely people that do not like the idea of having to purchase a genuine Rolex watch. The way that these people reconcile things is through the purchasing of genuine replica watches and if this sounds like you then you are going to need to know exactly where to purchase those replica watches.

The first place you should look is the name brand store that sells the genuine watches. This might actually seem like a bit of a foolish idea because of the fact that they would be selling competing products, but nowadays many of the watch companies will sell genuine replica products to the ones that they have always carried on inventory. They have taken their cue from the sports industry and have started to promote a plurality that wasn’t there a few years ago, so be sure to take advantage of this if the name brand store happens to be the closest one to your location.

General watch stores are also a good idea. These are stores that are becoming less and less common in today’s world, but at the same time there are still quite a few general watch stores around that specialize in the selling of a number of different types of watches. If the replicas are indeed genuine, then you will find them in those watch stores. Watch stores that still exist are able to campaign on their integrity and expertise and this is why visiting them to purchase a genuine replica is always a good idea.

Replica watch stores might be available in your area. If none of the first two choices are particularly good for you, then maybe the third choice will be better. There are many places around right now where replica watch stores have actually set up shop. While replica watch stores are not as reputable as their general watch store counterparts, they can be a good place to find a genuine replica watch if you are wiling to do a careful examination of the watches and the documentation that comes with them.

If all else fails, go to the internet. The internet is actually the place that a lot of people would go to first and indeed there is absolutely nothing wrong with the internet. It is sometimes easier to discern the quality of a watch at a store and in person however, which is why the internet is the last suggestion on this list. Frequently however, what you will find is that both the stock and the quality of products sold on the internet are on par with if not better than their offline competitors, so if you want to shop on the internet from the start, go right ahead!
