The New High Quality Fake IWC Big Pilot’s Watches Monopusher Edition “Antoine De Saint Exupéry”

Having a good story to tell is a treasure trove for watch brands, and IWC secured a winning one in 2005 when it partnered with the heirs of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, aviator and author of the timeless novella, Le Petit Prince. Special editions of the best US replica IWC Big Pilot’s Watches, devoted to the author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and his legendary Prince, appeal to the hearts and minds of fans with their classic B-Uhr pilot watch styling. Following the debut of the Big Pilot “Le Petit Prince” with a monopusher chronograph last year, it’s “Antoine de Saint Exupéry’s” turn to be kitted out with this complication. Presented in the emblematic Big Pilot’s format in an 18k rose gold case, the new IW515204 shares the exact specifications as the 2021 edition but is produced in even more reduced numbers and limited to 100 pieces. And when we say ‘emblematic’, we are referring to the 46.2mm version inspired by the massive 1940s B-Uhr watch, not the downsized 43mm that ruffled the feathers of some Big Pilot fans.

The main difference between the “Le Petit Prince” and “Antoine de Saint Exupéry” collections is the dial colour: “Le Petit Prince” models have blue dials, and “Antoine de Saint Exupéry” fake watches for sale have brown or tobacco-coloured dials. It’s also true that there are more models and complications in the “Le Petit Prince” Big Pilot’s Watch line-up, including a Perpetual Calendar, a Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon, an Annual Calendar and even a Constant-Force Tourbillon. Despite these complications, a chronograph was missing from the collection, and in 2021, “Le Petit Prince” was rewarded with a manual-winding monopusher chronograph movement.

Grosse Case

Top replica IWC’s first 55mm Big Pilot’s Watches of 1940 (ref. 1W431), aka a Beobachtungsuhror a B-Urh observation watch, was the muse behind the Big Pilot’s Watch. The enormous 55mm case of the B-Urh was designed to accommodate large pocket watch movements, which in turn were protected by an iron core to counter magnetism. To assist pilots in freezing cockpit conditions, the large diamond-shaped crown could be manipulated with gloves, and a long strap with rivets allowed pilots to secure the perfect copy watches over the cuffs of their leather jackets. Legibility was enhanced with large Arabic numerals and the orientation triangle at 12 o’clock flanked by two dots. Referred to as the “Grosse Fliegeruhr” or Big Pilot’s Watch, the design features of this robust military tool watch left their mark on the modern version of the watch released by IWC in 2002, known to collectors as ref. 5002.

As you can imagine, incorporating two chronograph pushers on the already gigantic case of the 2022 replica IWC Big Pilot’s Watches (46.2mm x 14.6mm) was an issue that concerned IWC’s designers. Not only would they look pretty ridiculous flanking the large crown, but they could also lead to confusion with IWC’s other line-up of Pilot chronographs. The solution was a monopusher chronograph movement, and luckily, IWC already had the manual-winding calibre 59360 one in stock first used inside the Portofino Monopusher of 2014.

The “Antoine de Saint Exupéry” touch

Not only was Saint-Exupéry a poet and author, but he was also an aviator and participated in flying reconnaissance missions for the French Air Force until his mysterious disappearance on a mission over occupied France in 1944. Linking the 1:1 fake watches to the legendary author and aviator, the colour of the tobacco brown dial is taken from the flight suits worn by the Saint-Exupéry. With its sunray-brushed finishing, the warm glow of the brown dial looks very handsome indeed in the rose gold case. The vertical layout of the counters gives the watch a pleasing symmetry with a recessed and snailed 60-minute totaliser at noon and small seconds at 6 o’clock.

The 5N rose gold case, with brushed flanks and a touch of polish on the bezel, crown and caseback, shares the same specifications as the “Le Petit Prince” edition with a diameter of 46.2mm and a height of 14.6mm. The large conical fluted crown houses the pusher for the chronograph that can be started, stopped and reset to zero. User-friendly and practical, the stopwatch function displays elapsed times of up to one hour (60-min) on the sub-dial at noon. The large rose gold-plated Arabic numerals are applied to the dial and treated with luminescent material along with the triangle and two dots at noon and the hour markers at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock. Divided into five-second intervals, the white peripheral track stands out vividly against the brown dial. The propeller-style hands, with thin tips, are plated in rose gold and filled with lume, like the shorter hands on the two sub-dials. Finally, there is a rectangular date window at 3 o’clock with a white background to match the markings on the dial and black numerals.

The brown calfskin strap with white stitching and rivets (width 20mm) underscores the pilot theme perfectly. The advantage of a leather strap over a bracelet is that you can admire the movement of AAA replica watches.

Calibre 59365

Calibre 59365, IWC’s third chronograph movement developed and manufactured in Schaffhausen, is also the brand’s only manual-winding chronograph and features a monopusher module mounted on the back of the base 59000 calibre. As with other IWC chronograph super clone watches store site, it functions with a column wheel, giving the pusher a smoother action and preventing any vibration of the central seconds hand. The bridges, decorated with horizontal Côtes de Genève, have several cut-out areas to reveal the column wheel, parts of the gear train and the balance. A power reserve indicator is also provided on the movement side with a small blued hand running along the 8-day track. Other refined finishings include the chamfered edges of the bridges and the circular graining on the base plate. Beating at 28,800vph, the movement delivers a robust 192h or 8-day power supply.

Availability and price

The IWC Big Pilot’s Watch Monopusher Edition “Antoine de Saint Exupéry” IW515204 is a limited edition of 100 replica watches for men and retails for CHF 33,000.

Review: Best Online Replica IWC Portugieser Minute Repeater Ref. IW5242-02 Watches. Old But gold.

The year 1995 was as eventful as it gets. It was the year the first Toy Story movie was released, the year Operation Desert Storm officially ended, and it was the last time AFC Ajax won the UEFA Champions League. It also marked the debut of a classic IWC timepiece: the original Portugieser Minute Repeater Ref. IW5240. This was from a time when minute repeater wrist perfect US replica watches were much, much rarer; the Portugieser Minute Repeater was, then, understandably considered a Schaffhausen masterpiece. The fact that the Portugieser Minute Repeater came only two years after the market launch of the Portugieser collection made it all the more impressive. Production of the limited edition model, consisting four variants, was completed in 2005 after a ten-year run.

In 2006, IWC began introducing its second generation Portugieser minute repeaters. The luxury fake watches are strongly reminiscent of the seminal Ref. IW5240 but with subtle changes to the case and dial to carry it over to the modern era of Swiss made IWC replica watches. Three variants of the second generation were released in its lifetime, including a rose gold variant that is perhaps the most evocative and classical of the trio. Here, we bring you the details and our thoughts on the Portugieser Minute Repeater Ref. IW5242-02 in rose gold.

The Case, Dial, and Hands

The case of the Portugieser Minute Repeater Ref. IW5242-02 measures 43.00 mm in diameter and 12.50 mm in thickness. Inspired by pocket watches, IWC Portugieser copy watches for sale do tend to have larger cases. At 43.00 x 12.50 mm, the Ref. IW5242-02 can still be worn with no overhang on the average wrist despite being 1.00 mm bigger than its predecessor, thanks to sharply down-turned lugs. In comparison, its successor, the IW544907 that we know of today, has a whopping diameter of 44.2 mm and a thickness of 14.0 mm – dimensions that will certainly demand a larger-than-average wrist size to wield with panache. With a burly full-gold deployant clasp at the end of the brown alligator leather strap to act as a counterbalance, the IW5242-02 wears securely on the wrist and doesn’t feel top-heavy in spite of its large watch head.

Crafted in rose gold, the case is given a contrast of finishes, from satin-brushed flanks and repeater track to the polished crown, repeater slide, and bezel. Slim and concave in shape, the bezel accentuates the dial with tremendous efficacy. At the same time, the dome-shaped sapphire crystal gives the dial a sense of depth. The original Portugieser Minute Repeater was fitted with plexiglass instead, so the introduction of sapphire crystal to the second generation of repeaters can be seen as an inflection point towards more contemporary design.

The dial is distinctly Portugieser with the minimalist design, applied Arabic numerals, and feuille hands. For this rose gold variant, the dial is silvery opaline in execution, with a seconds sub-dial at 9 o’clock adorned with fine concentric guilloche pattern. The key differences between the dials of the first and second generation cheap replica IWC Portugieser Minute Repeater watches are found on the ‘IWC’ signature and the minutes and seconds tracks. In the second generation repeaters, the contemporary ‘IWC SCHAFFHAUSEN’ signature is used, whereas the ‘International Watch Co SCHAFFHAUSEN’ signature written in vintage font is used in the first generation. The railway-style minutes and seconds tracks on the Ref. IW5242-02 are another telltale sign of a newer Portugieser watch. Specimens from before mid-00s tend to feature dots for minutes and sticks for seconds.

The Movement

While there have been changes to the case and dial relative to its predecessor, the movement remains a constant. Driving the Ref. IW5242-02 is none other than the 54-jewel Calibre 95290 that also powered the very first Portugieser Minute Repeater in 1995. In the spirit of the original Portugieser in the 1930s, the Calibre 95290 is inspired from old wholesale super clone IWC Calibre 95 pocket watches movement. The size of the movement is a dead-giveaway, with it filling up almost all 43 mm of the case. And there’s also the slow, huge balance wheel taking up one-third of the diameter of the movement.

All that said, it’s not just about size – it’s also the architecture. The Calibre 95290 has finger-style bridges that are typical of pocket watch movements and is open enough to reveal the entire gear train from the crown wheel, all the way to the escape wheel. It’s even got a proper centre wheel (one that’s actually located in the centre).

The construction of the Calibre 95290 is modular. The minute repeater mechanism – which was designed by Renaud et Papi – is not visible from the sapphire crystal case back as it sits just behind the dial. The chimes of the Calibre 95290 can be described as soft but sweet. It is clearly not going to be the loudest minute repeater around especially when compared to high-end specimens from the past decade, but it’s got a certain musicality to it that will stir emotions amongst connoisseurs. The beauty of the Calibre 95290 is that at the bottom, you’ve got an old-school pocket watch movement, while up top you’ve got “new-school” Renaud et Papi high horology – the best of both worlds.

The finishing on the Calibre 95290 is exemplary as evidenced by what you’d see through the sapphire crystal case back. The bridges are decorated with even Côtes de Genève, with edges beveled and polished. There aren’t just rounded angles on the movement but also sharp outward angles which are harder to execute. Ample perlage adorns the base plate while the heads of screws that secure the bridges are polished to a sheen.

The Competitive Landscape

The minute repeater is one of the most coveted and revered complication among Swiss made replica watches collectors and it’s easy to understand why. Firstly, it is difficult to assemble and even more difficult to perfect, making it fairly rare. Secondly, the way it tells time sonically – in an era where time is sterilely displayed on a smartphone – is whimsical and stirs all sorts of emotions. While the number of minute repeaters hitting the market increases with each passing year, the Portugieser Minute Repeater Ref. IW5242-02 manages to remain more than relevant with its elegant dial design and fascinating movement. Only 250 pieces of the watch was ever made and production ended thirteen years ago in 2009. To buy one of these beauties today, you’ll have to dive into the secondary watch market.

And if that isn’t your thing, why not take a chance with the current 2022 fake IWC Portugieser Minute Repeater watches? The Ref. IW5449-07 gives off a similar vibe to the Ref. IW5242-02 and would look indistinguishable were it not for the relocated seconds sub-dial and the larger case. Beating inside the case however is an in-house manufactured IWC movement, also pocket watch-inspired: the Calibre 98950. The Calibre 98950 has a three-quarter style bridge, a true center wheel, and an immense balance wheel beating at 2.5 Hz. The minute repeater mechanism, once again, is found underneath the dial and cannot be seen through the sapphire crystal case back. The sound profile of the repeater is similar to that of its predecessor: soft but sweet. Priced at CHF91,000, the Ref. IW5449-07 is limited to 500 pieces.

For a minute repeater that is a tad dressier, look no further than the Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Minute Repeater Ultra-Thin. With such a clean and pristine dial, and a thickness of just 8.1 mm, minute repeater wrist replica watches store site don’t get much more elegant than this. In spite of its slim case, the Patrimony Minute Repeater Ultra-Thin produces very audible chimes with musicality that is almost unparalleled in the industry. The platinum variant of the watch made its debut in Watches and Wonders 2015, seven years ago, but remains the gold standard for minute repeaters today. Priced at well over half a million Singapore dollars when first introduced, this – like the IW5242-02 – is another rare bird that can only be acquired in the secondary market since it is no longer part of the current Vacheron Constantin collection.

Final Thoughts

The Ref. IW5242-02 is true to its DNA. From its case size and dial design, to its pocket-watch-esque movement, the piece serves as a bridge between the first and latest generations of IWC Portugieser Minute Repeater fake watches paypal. It is a watch that oozes class in spite of its sizeable proportions. It does not seek attention, but reserves all pleasures associated with it – mechanical or musical – for its owner to enjoy in private.

Gentleman Sailor: Testing The AAA Top Fake IWC Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph Watches

IWC launched the 1:1 Swiss replica IWC Portugieser Yacht Club watches in 2010 into the sporty yet elegant world of sailing. For 2020, the nautical chronograph model has a classic look and a steel bracelet upgrade.

The new IWC Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph is high quality fake watches you can wear with confidence anywhere at the marina. A first glance shows that the third generation of the sportiest Portugieser model, our test watch, is designed to be both a nautical timepiece and a luxury accessory. The first impression is confirmed upon closer inspection of its polished and satin-finish case, sunburst blue dial and brightly polished hands. Every component is flawlessly finished and worthy to be part of the supremely elegant US online replica IWC Portugieser collection watches.

For the first time in its 10-plus-year history, this IWC Portugieser Yacht Club copy watches for sale boasts a steel bracelet rather than a rubber or leather strap — a sturdy but elegant IWC steel bracelet with brushed outer links and polished inner links. Shortening the bracelet involves simply pressing a button on the back of each row of sturdy links to remove it. Unlike simpler bracelet designs, using screws or hammering is not needed.

Inside the safety folding clasp, there is also a quick extension piece that quickly and easily lengthens the bracelet by up to 7 mm. Pressing the polished “IWC” button on the outer bar of the clasp extends the bracelet in seven increments — without ever removing the replica watches for men from your wrist. Two safety buttons round out the sturdy and well-designed folding clasp.

Detailed Modifications

In addition to the bracelet, the dial has also been updated. The central chronograph hand is now steel-gray instead of red, and the date window has been shifted from the 3 o’clock position to the small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock. Both changes enhance the elegance of the Yacht Club and were well received by our editorial staff.

The elegant impression is diminished, however, by the enlargement of the already considerable stainless-steel case from 43.5 mm to 44.6 mm. Our editorial staff admitted that no one among them had a wrist to match its substantial dimensions.

Even so, the large, heavy Swiss made fake watches is quite comfortable to wear thanks to ergonomically shaped sloping lugs and a supple steel bracelet. Unfortunately, the flexibility and adjustability of the IWC’s bracelet results in relatively large gaps between the links, which can catch and pull hair.

Proven Technology

Components taken from earlier generations of the Yacht Club include the sturdy and powerful in-house movement, Caliber 89361, with many excellent features like a 68-hour power reserve; a traditional column-wheel control mechanism; the brand’s own exceptionally efficient Pellaton dual-pawl winding system; a free-sprung, temperature-resistant Glucydur balance wheel; and a flyback function for the direct restarting of the running chronograph. It can also show off beautiful decorative finishes, gold-enhanced engraving and a gold IWC medallion on the skeletonized oscillating rotor. Another feature of the in-house movement is the combined 12-hour and 60-minute counter in the upper half of the dial, which is intended to show elapsed time intuitively, as on a clock. The combined counter is too small for everyday use, however, and its markings are too fine to read elapsed time to the minute quickly and easily. The chronograph seconds track around the dial is also extremely fine, and the central chronograph seconds hand is insufficiently long to fully reach it. In sum, it’s a mixed bag, with clearly legible time and date, and elapsed time that is much more difficult to read.

Accurate Rate

Our rate test revealed more about the Swiss movement. The electronic timing machine showed a negligibly small daily rate of +0.8 seconds, a maximum deviation between the positions of only 4 seconds and almost the same values when the chronograph is engaged. A two-week wearing test confirmed the small daily deviation with values between zero and +2 seconds — making our test best replica watches a reliable partner for everyday use.

In addition to the movement, another feature of the Yacht Club that hasn’t changed arouses mixed feelings — the pressure resistance of six bar that corresponds to water pressure at a depth of 60 meters. Although this may sound like a lot at first, the water resistance as it is tested under laboratory conditions is rather low for a nautical luxury sports super clone watches wholesale linked to the world of sailing. Coming in contact with spray or waves means a watch should be resistant to at least 10 bar or 100 meters to ensure a certain degree of security in a variety of different environments. And even though this still isn’t a lot, it is the current standard for any water sports fake watches shop site not explicitly designed for diving.

Advice for boat owners is simply this: it’s better to wear this watch in the evening, below deck, or to dinner at the marina, and either take it easy onboard during the day or rely on a sports replica watches paypal that is clearly defined as such. The new Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph is well equipped for normal everyday wear and light sports activities — and is the perfect gentleman sailor for social events on or below deck.
