Richard Mille presents the new Le Mans Classic Automatic

The silence around Le Mans has been disturbing for the past two years. Anyone familiar with the world’s most famous historic motor racing event knows that every July 2, the city vibrates with the rumble of cars on the scalding asphalt in the distance. The legendary Le Mans Classic will return not only in 2022, but also the following year, in 2023, on the 13th anniversary of the first race of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Typically 700 historic racers will race the track along with 8,500 racers in the “club” area. Next year’s event is likely to break the record of 135,000 spectators, the last in 2018. Around 8° models are dedicated to this event, of which Richard Mille has been a partner since its creation in 2002. The brand released a watch to celebrate the competition, the RM 029 Le Mans Classic Automatic. Fans will immediately recognize the timeless green and white colorway.

The external dimensions of the RM 029 Le Mans Classic Automatic are 40.10 x 48.15 x 13.10 mm. The central part of this new limited edition case is made from a single piece of white quartz TPT ® and then green quartz TPT ® between the bezel and case back. The bezel shows the characteristic double stripes of Le Mans, with white quartz TPT® inlaid with green quartz TPT® at 12 and 6 hours, an unprecedented process for the brand. The sporty, breathable white rubber strap undoubtedly underlines the vibrancy of this classic colour combination, ensuring outstanding comfort for extended periods of use.

At the heart of the new RM 029 Le Mans Classic Automatic is the RMAS7 skeletonized movement with an oversized 4-hour date window and a unique automatic reloading system with an adjustable geometric rotor working on two barrels. A dedicated 24-hour counter, easily recognisable at the 2-hour position, pays homage not only to the characteristic duration of the race itself, but also to the hundreds of cars and drivers that are converted during the 24 hours of the race, starting at 16:00 (in blue on the dial indicated by the colored arrow).

Day or night, this limited-edition watch will transport enthusiasts and drivers back to one place: the race track, where Le Mans’ iconic black and white checkered flag is flying in time. discount replica watches

Breitling Endurance Pro

Breitling’s ultimate athleisure watch.

Bold, lightweight, and designed to fit anywhere you go. The new cheap Breitling Endurance Pro is a colorful everyday sports chronograph perfect for the needs of professional athletes and amateur adventurers. Combining high precision and innovative technology with a sleek and vibrant aesthetic, it is the ultimate athleisure watch. Wear it for hiking, surfing or going to the gym. Then take a shower, then strap it to your wrist again for lunch with friends or a cocktail at that cool new bar. No matter what you put in, the Endurance Pro can handle the challenges of a rigorous workout while still being stylish enough for everyday wear.

The Breitling Professional Endurance Pro comes with a color-matched Breitling Professional Rubber strap.

The Endurance Pro is 44mm in diameter, and you might think the Endurance Pro would be a bit bulky to wear on your wrist while exercising. If it’s made of a more traditional material, like stainless steel, it’s likely to be. That’s why Breitling cheap uses ultra-light Breitlight®, a proprietary carbon composite that is 3.3 times lighter than titanium and 5.8 times lighter than stainless steel. Breitlight® is non-magnetic, thermally stable and hypoallergenic, making it highly resistant to scratches, traction and corrosion. It also has a warmer touch and a slightly textured effect than metal, highlighting the originality of the design. The result is a large, sturdy watch that’s easy to read in any condition, yet the case weighs just 64.6 grams (without the strap).

The Endurance Pro features a black dial with central time display and chronograph functions. The dial flange features a pulsometer scale for measuring heart rate and is available in five bold colors; blue, orange, red, yellow and white. The rubber strap is closed by a Breitlight® double handle buckle. You can also pair the Endurance Pro with Breitling’s colorful Outerknown ECONYL® yarn NATO strap, made from nylon scraps sourced from oceans around the world. The dial frame is a bidirectional rotating bezel that serves as a sun compass. This is helpful if you’re out exploring the outdoors and get lost. replica watches usa

The new Endurance Pro features the Breitling Calibre 82, a COSC-certified SuperQuartz™ chronograph that delivers exceptional precision. Capable of automatically compensating for changes in external temperature – and the effect this may have on the vibrating quartz crystal inside – the movement can measure timekeeping intervals accurate to 1/10th of a second. It also features an elapsed 30-minute chronograph and date function, displayed through an aperture between 4 o’clock and 5 o’clock. A sturdy screw-on caseback helps keep the Endurance Pro water-resistant to 100m.

Available to pre-order now from Watches of Switzerland Australia, the Endurance Pro is sure to be a hit with fashionistas in your life. Better yet, strap one around your own wrist and step out in active fashion.

Jacob & Co. The Godfather of the Opera – Mechanically

Music exists in time. Combining two traditional Swiss craftsmanship, Jacob & Co. Opera is both a highly complicated timepiece and a wearable music box…and, it’s an indescribable wrist performance. The ballet of its three-axis tourbillon and the musical mechanism in its operation is surprising and fascinating. Technically, the combination of these two rare complications is impressive. A lot really happens, if a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth a million…even a timepiece that defies conventional labels has to be shown, playing a godfather theme and featuring a miniature Don Vito Corleone of its center!

The music mechanism works by miniaturizing the music box to fit into the watch. It is powered by its own barrel. Like the minute repeater, the regulator flywheel controls the speed of the complication and sets the rhythm for the melody played by the gears driving two cylinders with pins and steel combs.

The 2 cylinders have manually set pins that sweep the 30 (2×15) blades of the 2 combs to play the melody. The precise adjustment of the pins and the different lengths of the blades produce different notes. Each of the 100 pins is hand-inserted into the cylinder with extreme precision. The manufacture of the comb is crucial, especially the length of the blade and its strength to produce the right melodies. exact replica watches

As the melody plays, the entire mechanical module – including the three-axis tourbillon, the musical mechanism and the off-centre hours and minutes display – rotates 120° around the dial in 20 seconds.

The JCFM02 hand-wound movement consists of no less than 664 parts and measures 43 mm in diameter. It is regulated by a three-axis tourbillon. The ballet of concentric cages allows for multi-dimensional rotation to counteract the negative effects of gravity: 40 seconds on the first axis, 3 minutes on the second axis, and 8 minutes on the third axis. The complex design contains 97 parts and weighs only 1.79 grams. Its variable inertia balance oscillates 21,600 times per hour. The power reserve of the chronograph mechanism is 72 hours.

Movement finishing involves a lot of work and artistic mastery. For example, the “Godfather” character at its center is hand-carved and hand-painted. The golden sheet music is hand-carved and painted. The cylinder is gold plated. The splints and bridges are sandblasted and PVD coated, and the screw heads are mirror polished. The dial is decorated with gold-tone appliqués with blued hands. replica watches review

This impressive movement is housed in a 47mm case made of DLC titanium and rose gold. It is protected by a highly domed sapphire crystal. The glass is made from just one part, a technical feat that, despite its curved top and clear cut angles, allows for unobstructed viewing of complex movements from all angles. The JCFM02 movement is wound and set via two folding crowns on the rear of the watch. The melody is activated via the pusher at 2 o’clock. The watch is worn on a crocodile leather strap, which is fastened with a folding clasp.

The Jacob & Co. Opera wasn’t the first musical watch, but with its striking design and ultra-complex mechanics (with a two-comb musical mechanism and a three-axis tourbillon), it was certainly at the top of its class By. It retails for CHF 300.000 for the “Godfather” DLC Titanium/Pink Gold Limited Edition we are reviewing. Several other versions are available for different materials, melodies and themes. A watch can also be ordered with a melody of your choice. jacob & co astronomia solar baguette as800.40.ap.yk.a
