"No more 1966. Let's splurge! Bring us some fresh wine! The freshest you've got - this year! No more of this old stuff. " This is a quote from Steve Martin in the movie "The Jerk" in which he plays a nouveau riche business man who obviously had no clue on fine vintage wine. However this remark could have been heard in the venue of an auction house where new replica watch brands are experiencing a growing interest from collectors who used to only go for the established brands such as replica audemars piguet , replica patek philippe and replica cartier . We all know that Steve Mc Queen means money when his replica watches and other memorabilia go under the hammer, this also accounts for other replica watches once worn by important world leaders, politicians and actors. Nonetheless, these are all replica watches with 40 or more years on their (case) backs. These days however auctions around the world are experiencing impressive results for replica watches that left their respective manufacturers only a few years ago. Auctions especially in Hong Kong often offer many newer replica watches , not least from Richard Mille. Richard MilleA Richard Mille RM005 Felipe Massa in titanium was sold at Antiquorum on January 26th this year and fetched approximately Euro 35. 000, which is a rather impressive amount of money for a replica watch that has a suggested retail price of approximately Euro 39. 000. It pretty much means that the former owner got most of his money back on a replica watch he owned for only a very short while. Richard Mille may be a young replica watch brand. But its replica watches are still sold at high prices on the secondary market and at auctions. I. e. this RM005 Felipe Massa. Antiquorum/Worldtempus This is not very common on any product with only a few years behind it, unless it has a celebrity provenance. The RM005 Felipe Massa was not even a super limited production as a total of 300 pieces were made. 300 replica watches is quite a large number for Richard Mille, as the young replica watch company that is only 12 years old, produces only 2000-2500 replica watches a year. However the auction result only proves that Mille's innovative approach to modern horology is increasing popular with collectors of fine replica watches , even though we're talking about a brand that didn't invent the tourbillon, was not worn by Kennedy and does not have 300 years of uninterrupted production on its curriculum vitae. A. Lange & S? hne German manufacturers A. Lange & S? hne recently entered the big league in terms of auction results when an early 1815 Tourbillon "Pour le Merite" in platinum went under the hammer at Dr. Crott auctioneers in November 2012. Originally offered in 1994-1998 and limited to 50 pieces this complicated replica watch ended a bidding war at 248. 000 euro, which is three times its original retail price. A replica watch doesn't have to be Swiss Made nor have celebrity endorsement as back-up to make auction records. This A. Lange & S? hne 1815 Tourbillon "Pour le Merite" of platinum sold at three times its original retail price when offered at Dr. Crott's auctions in 2012. Dr. Crott Auctioneers/Worldtempus A. Lange & S? hne has been a highly respected replica watch brand since the revival in 1994 and late Gunther Blümlein would be proud of the brand he helped steer back on track, if he had lived to see results like this appearing more and more frequently at auctions around the world. Roger DubuisIf I were to suggest a young brand that looks like it will make an impact on future auctions, I would mention Roger Dubuis, originally established by the man behind the name along with innovative Portuguese antiques dealer (now winemaker) Carlos Dias. In 1995 the world was suddenly introduced to wonderful complications in surprising cases and with fascinating dial layouts. Not least the now iconic Excalibur. Early versions from this collection are popping up at auctions and I think they should be bought now, as the interest in Roger Dubuis under the ownership of Richemont is rapidly growing. The Roger Dubuis Excalibur enjoys iconic status today and already in 2008 Antiquorum sold this Excalibur Double Tourbillon in white gold for? CHF 102. 000. Maybe it is time to look out for the early versions when offered at auctions. Antiquorum/Worldtempus Looking at these results and prices makes you wonder whether the outburst of Steve Martin in aforementioned movie was as ignorant as you might think. Maybe he was on to something. At least when it comes to replica watches .
