Our regular readers may have noticed a recent tweet from JuraWatches stating that the Jura Watches shop in Mayfair is now an authorised dealer for Archimede watches. So it is about time we had some background and news of this brand.

Archimede may be new to Jura Watches, but the German company that lies behind the brand, Ickler GmbH located in Pforzheim – the centre of the German watch industry, has over eighty years experience producing luxury watches.

The flagship timepiece of the Archimede brand is the Archimede Pilot Chronograph, which comes in a 36, 39, 42 and a 45 mm diameter case. In 2008 the Pilot Chronograph won first place in Focus magazine’s Golden Unruh Awards in the under €1000 category, and third 3rd place in the same category for 2009.

The Pilot Chronograph brings together classic design and engineering precision. The Swiss-made automatic movement is robust, without compromising on precision time-keeping. The finely crafted three-piece stainless steel case comes in a finely brushed steel or with a black PVD finish. The diamond crown and pushers are purposefully oversized. Under a sapphire crystal the black dial has luminous hands and indices, with a date calendar at six o’clock.

The Archimede Vintage models draw their inspiration from pilot watches from the 1920s and feature typically retro features. Besides these aviation collections Archimede also produce a range of sports timepieces, Archimede SportTaucher, especially designed for divers.

Harry Winston is quite is famous for their diamond jewelry, but recently they have also launched a collection of luxury Swiss watches. They manufacture five brands of watches: Avenue, Ocean, Premier, Signature and the Ultimate series.

Harry Winston has announced a new series: The Avenue Series for Men, which comes just after the huge success of The Avenue Series for Women. In addition, Harry Winston has succeeded in keeping the air of glory around this timepiece. Available only in limited editions, only 25 mechanical watches are on sale! Buying this replica watch, which features an elegant square case lined with pure gold, is, indeed, indulging you in luxury watches. The Avenue, for men, is available in chronograph and in diamond-embedded models. The Chronograph has three dials, each corresponding to the hour, minute and second hands, while the diamond-embedded version of the watch has an artistic display with a dual time zone, which provides you the time with by means of two separate dials.

        The square, chesty look of the watchcase gives this majestic timepiece a masculine aura. The very look of the watch will make you feel manly, and you will long to see it on your wrist. A hefty but artistic case, which measures 43.4 × 44.7 mm, is fully made up of pure white gold, which gives it a real glistening appearance. The watch’s bezel fashions an impressive 60 baguette diamonds, which are oversized, and which add upto a decent 9.87 Ct. This watch is also water resistant to 30 meters.

        The dial of the Harry Winston Avenue Series watches for Men have a protective covering in the form of a sapphire crystal, which has been treated downright with antireflective coating on both it is their sides. The watches also feature a date measurement, and the dates are in a system that is very easy to read. You can almost determine the date with a glance, unlike many of those luxury watches, which set up quite complicated date reading systems. Another originality of the watch lies in the fact that the dates, which are set along with the crown, among the minute and hour display discs, are displayed vertically. This has been elegantly managed, and gives a fresh, new look to the watch.

        Now coming to the mechanism of time display, which, perhaps, is the most striking feature of this luxurious collection of watches. The Harry Winston Avenue Series watches for Men carry a time mechanism, which, instead of being electronic, as in many other watches, is mechanical, and complexly designed to a certain degree, but is automatic. This is based on a self-winding caliber module. This innovative mechanism, though being mechanical, enables the watches to perform the seconds, minutes, hours display along with the day and night indication for both the time zone displays, and a date display, which is quite a feat achieved by Harry Winston.

        The watch is best worn with an alligator strap, preferably black. It comes fitted with a diamond buckle. The watch is ultimate in the degree of luxury and sophistication.

IWC Schaffhausen showcase the Portuguese Yacht Club Chronograph at the SIHH 2010. Like the legendary and highly successful model under the Yacht Club name it is based on, this new IWC watch cause quite a sensation at the watch show.  While injecting a fresh sporty elegance to the Portuguese family, the model has not a few impressive technical features thanks to the IWC in-house made  89360-calibre movement. It is no exaggeration to say, this replica watch is highly reliable with flawless functionality. Meanwhile, it is a nautical precision instrument that will do great help when you navigate in the rough seas.

To my knowledge, the Portuguese Yacht Club Chronograph is the most sporty timepiece in the Portuguese family that has more than 70 years history. It provides most convenient and easiest to read chronograph functions thanks to as well. The chronograph can record up to 10 hours aggregate time on its minutes and hours counters. And it is always ready to measure a new time since the flyback function allows the chronograph be reset to zero at anytime while running. What is more, the movement is able to maintain normal fluctuations and accuracy when measuring long stop time. The red center stop watch hand plays a central role as well. It can accurately measure short interval time with the help of the the supplementary flange for seconds and fractions of a second

The dial, for the first time in Portuguese family, has luminescent indices and hands. And It features railway track-style chapter ring as well. And like other Portuguese models, the dial is very neat and keeps Arabic numerals.

Portuguese Yacht Club Chronograph is available in there versions: steel case with silver-plated dial, steel case with black dial and  18 carat red gold has an slate-colored dial. The steel versions are fitted with rhodium-plated luminescent hands and appliqués, while the red gold version is more refined with sun pattern ground finish gold-plated hands and solid red gold appliqués. And the red gold version. The cases are water-resistant to 6 bar and have screw-in crowns of crown protection. And they are completed by black rubber straps with folding clasps.

I love Breitling watches for their beauty, their uniqueness, and of course the style. Regardless of the rumors that Breitling watches are sophisticated pilot watches, they do have some pretty trendy models also.

Breitling’s Superocean Heritage 30 is one of those watches. It has a self-winding mechanical movement with at Breitling 37 caliber. The power reserve on this Breitling watch lasts up to 42 hours complete with 28,800 vibrations per hour. The Superocean Heritage by Breitling has 27 jewels, dial aperture calendar, steel case, unidirectional bezel, screw-locked crown, screwed in caseback, and is water resistance for up to 600 feet. Both sides are cambered sapphire and glareproof for a protected and glossy finish. My favorite is the blue and white version.

The Cockpit Lady watch by Breitling is another traditional watch but if you get it in the brown and steel with diamonds it’s an instant trendy hit with the same Breitling quality including at Breitling 71 caliber, SuperQuartz movement (termocompensated quartz electronic, EOL indicator), dial aperture calendar, and water resistance of up to 100 m. This Breitling watch also comes with a non screw-locked crown with three gaskets, screwed in back, unidirectional bezel, and sapphire as well as glareproofed on both sides.

Miu Miu

has long been a favorite brand of mine. Alongside the more traditional and classic designs of Chanel or Vuitton, Miu Miu screams contemporary, modern and youthful. Its exciting and eclectic designs are favorites of budding fashionistas and style icons. Personally, I love it because they can make even an ordinary hold-all look so darn good!

The key to these good looks are the fabulous and luxurious ingredients. The softest leather delicately aged for perfect style, the artistic proportions that make your outfit look better that it ever could before. Miu Miu has that certain magic.

This shopper is no exception. Simple and elegant, it hangs off your arm begging to be touched. Begging to be looked at, honored, treasured. An attention seeker all the way, the replica bag at first glance hides it well. It is only as you look deeper, at the craftsmanship and the special touches, that it really becomes something special.

I am a big fan of the ruching on this particular piece. The gently worn old leather gathers together like liquid. Fitting neatly in with the ruffles trend, this purse keeps it muted and wearable. It has space for all your belongings with its more than generous dimensions, and even gives you a detachable second handle. When making a financial commitment like this (and Miu Miu is rarely a bargain), it is the little extras that really make all the difference.

I have looked long and hard for any honest negatives, but must admit I am struggling. I will just mention, perhaps, that it is only held closed by a magnetic snap closure – not the most secure option. If you are carrying around the crown jewels, you may find yourself a little paranoid about safety.

The slogan describes this as “Cosmic and Contemporary” – and I agree. Perfect for fashion shows, parties, or even just the office, this is a multipurpose designer bag with more than a little x-factor!
