The barrel shape of the case is not the only thing that distinguishes the Moon Phase and Power-Reserve watch. The dial of the timepiece demonstrates craftsmanship and technical skill – it boasts five different finishes. The central part of the dial is embellished with a light reflection absorbing “hobnail” pattern, called “Clous de Paris”. The outer part of the dial is satin-brushed and silvered. The inscriptions Swiss Made and Vacheron Constantin Genève, as well as the power-reserve display and the minute circle are applied by transfer printing. The seconds sub-dial at the lower part of the Malte Moon Phase and Power-Reserve watch dial features circular satin-brushed finish, and minute-circle and power-reserve parts are printed in opaque white screen-printing. The construction of the moon-phase display is also very sophisticated – it is composed of a galvanised disc with a moon face made from either white or pink gold.

On the opening day of the 2009 Baselworld, the Swiss luxury watchmaker Wyler Genève presented its new chronograph collection named Code-S, comprising 17 models. The watches are made of stainless steel or 18-carat red gold.

The distinctive tonneau case of the Code-S chronographs is smaller and more rounded  than that of their predecessor, the Code-R. The chronographs have the same sandwich construction, with two metal plates fixed to the case with the help of four titanium sprung-mounted screws to provide the shock-absorbing function.

The watches feature Wyler Genève’s patented crown protector. In order to use the rubber-coated crown, it is necessary to open it on both sides by the means of sliding pins. The chronograph pushers, looking like automobile foot pedals, harmonize with the case featuring the “WYLER” engraving on the back of the watch.

The Code-S dial has typical features of Wyler Genève watches - an inner oval ring, 11 integrated hour markers and an oversized Arabic “12”. This rhodium-plated element has a matte finish, contrasting with the black dial. Orange SuperLuminova dots are used to mark the hours. Besides the classic combination of black and white, the dial is available in brown, taupe, gray and mother-of-pearl for the ladies’ models. The face of all models is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating.

The ladies’ models come with a white dial, an unusual white composite case middle and a bezel in either white ceramic or red gold adorned with 140 diamonds. The gold models for men have a black dial with a black bezel or a rich coffee-brown dial with matching brown bezel.

The new Code-S models are powered by an automatic Swiss-made chronograph movement, having a 42 hours power reserve. The movement, put into a sealed titanium container, is water resistant to 50 metres. The new Code-S watch models come with a foldover clasp either in gold or in titanium.

Throughout its history, the Wyler watchmaking house company has always been in quest for innovation and reliability, producing innovative, yet sturdy chronographs. The unbreakable Incaflex balance wheel, invented by Paul Wyler, was one of his greatest innovations. This balance wheel, made of metal, had two flexible half-spiral arms that joined at the wheel’s axis to provide shock absorption. To demonstrate the shock-absorbing function of this element, two Wyler Incaflex timepieces were dropped from the top of the Eiffel Tower in 1964. After the fall, both timepieces remained in working condition. In 1962, six Wyler Incaflex timepieces were dropped from a 27-story skyscraper in Washington, Seattle Tower, and once again they remained in perfect working condition. According to legend, Wyler sales agents often perform such tests to convince customers of excellent shock-resistant characteristics of Wyler watches.

Feel free to browse our collection of Wyler replica watches, having the same innovative design and made of quality materials, but costing much less than the real timepieces.

The Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge, an international regatta circuit for vintage and classic sailing boats, celebrates its 5^th anniversary. Like previous years, the Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge takes place in the most prestigious yachting places in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic ocean and is sponsored by Officine Panerai. The world of sailing and vintage yachts has a close connection with the values of the watchmaking company, which has nurtured a passion for the sea for more than a century. Officine Panerai has supplied the Italian Royal Navy with chronometers, mechanical calculators, sighting devices, depth gauges, and compasses since the second half of the 19th century. In 1938 the company developed the first water-resistant watch, employed by elite teams of Italian marine commandos.

The Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge 2009 is held from April till September and consists of seven regattas, taking place on the French Riviera, in Sardinia, Antigua, Nantucket and Newport. The event is a wonderful opportunity to see the most beautiful classic yachts and to go a few centuries back in time in imagination. Overall, about 350 vintage and classic yachts, having a crew of 1500 members, will participate in the Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge. Vintage yachts are those built of wood or metal, launched before 1950 and having the same original design. The yachts built of wood or metal and launched between 1950 and 1975 are called classic.

The winners of each stage in the Vintage and Classic categories will receive a watch, specially created by Officine Panerai for this occasion in limited edition of 500 pieces. The chronograph given as award this year is the Luminor 1950 Regatta Rattrapante 44mm DLC watch. This split-seconds chronograph, featuring the characteristic cushion-shaped Luminor case in stainless steel, was specially created for yachtsmen. To emphasize the connection between the Luminor 1950 Regatta Rattrapante and the world of the sea and yachts, the chronograph seconds hand and the marking of the first five minutes (the most important in a yacht regatta) on the minute counter were painted blue. The winning crews will receive the Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge Trophy watch, which will be awarded in Cannes after the final race.

            The Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge Circuit is organized by Officine Panerai in cooperation with the Italian Association of Vintage Yachts and the International Mediterranean Committee. Panerai Officina also sponsors Antigua Classic Week. The interest of the company in yachting is probably related with the passion for the sea of its head, Angelo Bonati. Being a child, he was fascinated by the sea, sailing yachts and watches. The man who has created one of the great success stories in the watch industry over the past quarter-century believes that “like a watch in the face of time, a yacht confronted with such vast and powerful elements as the wind and waves can exist only as a product of the finest human intellect.”

            The quality Panerai replica watches of the creations of the best watchmakers’ intellect are available on our site. They combine low price, quality materials, reliable movement and the design developed by experts in fine watchmaking.

  Just like everybody else, presidents wear watches. They probably need them more than ordinary people, because their life is strictly regulated. So which watch does Barack Obama wear?

Whereas being the president of the US, George Bush favoured a $50 Timex with the Stars and Stripes on the dial, the watch of choice for his successor Barack Obama is a little more exclusive than a Timex. For fifteen years (from the early 1990’s until late 2007), Barack Obama has worn a TAG Heuer Series 1500 Two Tone Diver’s watch, a model with quartz movement, which was launched in 1991. Knowing that Harvard graduate Barack Obama obtained his degree in 1991 and got married in October, 1992, it is possible to guess which the occasion for the purchase of this watch was. The cost of the watch was 575 dollars, which was considered average price for Tag Heuer watches at that time. This was a functional diving watch that described its wearer as an adventurer and man of action. In 1998 the 1500 Professional series was discontinued.

The model in TAG-Heuer’s current line of watches that could be considered the closest successor to the Series 1500 Two-Tone Diver is the Aquaracer watch. The timepiece is dedicated to sailing and diving and was founded to provide the accuracy that all water-sports demands. Based on the design and features of iconic TAG Heuer Aquaracer launched in 1982 (later named “2000″ series), this prestigious sports watch that is water- resistant to 300 meters.

The high quality Tag Heuer replica watches, combining sportiness and elegance in one sophisticated timepiece and, are available on our site. With this watch, looking exactly as the original, everybody can feel himself as an influential politician.

One of the greatest complications a watch can have is a perpetual calendar. In fact watches with a calendar are divided into three times – Quantieme Simple, Quantieme Perpetuel and Perpetual Calendar.

Watches with Quantieme Simple show date, days of the week, months and sometimes phases of the moon. Usually all this information is shown in additional little dials. All the corrections are done by hand.

A quartz movement can be programmed to consider different number of days in the months. It is much more difficult to make up a mechanical watch that would consider all the peculiarities of Gregorian calendar. That is why Quantieme Perpetuell and Perpetual calendar that sometimes consists of 650 details are so much appreciated by watch connoisseurs.
Quantieme Perpetuel, that is often associated with Perpetual Calendar includes a mechanism that considers different number of days in the month – 28, 30 or 31. Perpetual Calendar also has the indicator of leap year. Month indicator of a watch with perpetual calendar features a gear that is divided into four sectors, one of which indicates the leap year. This gear circles in four years. Thus perpetual calendar shows the date, the day of week, months, moon phases and leap year without any intervention of the wearer.

Fingertips of some  are sensitive enough to read the time practically accurately with one touch. But for most people reading is not easy, not to mention that reading the time this way, despite the delicacy of touch, can become the cause of the deformation of hour hands or  break them, alter their position, thus increasing the possibility of error.

But  other people have difficulty reading the time this way, besides, however light the touch is, it can still distort or even break hour hands, alter their position and expand the error probability.

Luckily, an Austrian from Vienna thought up of a method consisting in replacing the Roman numerals of the watch face for conventional signs, which figuratively resemble the figures of hours that they represent.
The system of Lukaschovsky – this is the name of the deviser is about representing one hour by a dot, two hours by two dots, three hours by a triangle, four hours by a square, five hours by a five-pointed star, six hours by a zero.

The method of Lukaschovsky this is the name of the inventor consists in representing one hour by a dot, two hours by two dots, three hours by a triangle, four hours by a square, five hours by a five-pointed star, six hours by a zero.  These signs are prominent in the first half of the watch face; in the second symmetrical half the signs are concave.
As for the hour hands, they are made of steel and are rather solid to withstand regular touching of fingers.

Another artficer, a watchmaker P. Tissot from Locle, designed a method basing on the Braille method, already known to blind people

Smaller bulged dots represent the minute divisions.

The old wrist watches always attracted many admirers. And the models of the epoch popularized by mythic personalities, from Lawrence of Arabia to the commander Cousteau, from Neil Armstrong to James Bond, are even more popular.

It is impossible not to feel excited, trying on Omega Speedmaster of the same age as the one that Neil Armstrong was wearing on the Moon in 1969, a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms similar to that of the commander Cousteau and his team in The World of Silence, or Rolex Submariner identical to that of Sean Connery in James Bond: Dr. No, marking the famous scene on a beach with Ursula Andress in tiny bikini. The collection watches were worn by brave adventurers, explorers, pilots of all types of machines, deep-sea divers, cult actors, commandoes and high-rank servicemen «These chronometers, which can resist bad weather and extreme conditions, represent the highest technical level of the moment», reminds Olivier Fort, who organises the Salon Men’s World together with Lionel Deschamps (watches, fountain pens, knives and collection lighters) in the palace Brongniart, on November 23rd.

It is true that extreme conditions were the reason of the popularisation of wristwatches. During the World War I soldiers pointed out that those who took the time to open their coat to search for their pocket watch had an unfortunate tendency to be fired by the enemy. Thus pocket watches gave place to wristwatches, which soon became indispensable in the modern world of speed.

But the manufacturers did not wait for the World War I to be unleashed to promote their brand. Vacheron &Constantin designed a wristwatch for the brothers Wright on the occasion of the first flight of aviation (59 seconds) in history, December 17th, 1903. Two years later, Cartier created a wristwatch for another pilot,  Alberto Santos-Dumont, who made his first 21 seconds flight near Paris in 1906. Since then, the famous Santos watch has remained one of the mythic models of Cartier.

No brand, however, reminds of the aicraft world better than Breitling with its chronograph Chronomat (1941) and its Navitimer (1952), which include a slide rule allowing the pilot to calculate its average speed or its level of rise and of descent.

Of course, the soldiers benefitted from these spectacular advances while they were not the initiators of progress. Nowadays not only the soldiers can use the achievements of watchmakers - everybody who has more than 300 euro (to 1 million) can also purchase the masterpieces of brands which worked for the French Air Force: Dodane, Bronze, Vixa, Auricoste, and Breguet.

Modern fashion is changeable as weather in spring. But there are watches that never fall out of its scope. It’s all about Cartier Pasha replica watches.

They reflect timeless style and design created by Cartier’s genius himself. People from all over the world know them for superior quality. Some even consider them the standard for excellence.

The Cartier Pasha wristwatch was designed for the Pasha of Marrakech in 1933 to let him swim without losing track of time. This is the story of the first waterproof Tank watch, the only water-resistant model available at the time.

Nowadays there are many models of the Cartier Pasha replica watches. Powerful, solid, with a large diameter, they are originally fitted with a grid that serves to protect the glass from knocks, like some army watches.
