We are just two months ahead of the luxury watch fair SIHH 2017, so it was about time for a head-turner pre-event teaser, which in this case is the – you guessed it, vintage-inspired – cheap replica Panerai Radiomir 3 Days Acciaio Brevettato PAM685 and PAM687 watches. Some cool details here, so let’s take a […]
The rose gold Cornes de Vache 1955 joins the original in platinum, adding another vintage-remake chronograph to Vacheron Constantin’s offerings. Unveiled last year in platinum, the Historiques Cornes de Vache 1955 is a chronograph modelled on the 1950s replica Vacheron Constantin ref. 6087. The nickname cornes de vache, which translates as “cow horns”, stems from […]
The Vacheron Constantin Quai de I’Île was first launched in 2008, and at the time, it was both very much in the VC tradition of unusual designs, and also something of a departure and exploration of new territory. The most unusual feature of the Quai de I’Île watches was the modular construction of the Day-Date, […]
I remember the first cheap replica Vacheron Constantin watches I ever laid eyes on. It was in a magazine for an Australian retailer. It was an Overseas model and it was a chronograph, but thanks to an interesting take on the bezel, it didn’t strike me as ‘just sporty’ like chronos can be. It had […]
The Vacheron Constantin Harmony collection was very, very big news two years ago, when it debuted at the 2015 SIHH. Intended to kick off the company’s 260th anniversary celebrations (along with the super-complication pocket watch, reference 57260), the collection included several show-stoppers. From a collector and connoisseur’s standpoint, one of the most interesting of the […]

On a warm, summer evening in London, on September 1st, a group of watch collectors and enthusiasts gathered at the cheap replica Parmigiani Fleurier boutique on Mount Street in London’s exclusive Mayfair. Surprisingly though it wasn’t watches they had come to see – although there were plenty of nice ones on display – but a […]
Watches like the Parmigiani Ovale Pantographe come along only once in a rare while. This is a timepiece myself and others on the aBlogtoWatch team have been more or less smitten with for years… given its mixture of fantastic design, historical roots, and emotionally charged technical fascination. Of course, a niche-appeal timepiece such as this […]
The first time I visited the manufacturing centers of Parmigiani Fleurier was back in 2009, and, while I knew a little bit about the company, the visit was something of a revelation. It was easy back in those days to think of Parmigiani as a relatively small-batch undertaking, even as something of an underdog, and […]
Parmigiani Fleurier celebrates its 20th anniversary this year with a commemorative split second chronograph, news of a concept movement, and a masterpiece table clock and automaton. Founded in 1996 by the genial Michel Parmigiani with backing from the still owning Sandoz Foundation, the manufacture that launched its first wristwatch in 1999 has created such landmarks […]
