Baselworld 2014 seems to have marked the dawn of a new era for Eterna - the historic brand that in 1948 contributed decisively to the Swiss replica watch industry by implementing the ball-bearing assisted rotational movement fundamental to self-winding technology. The latest heir to a dynasty born in 1957 as a homage to Thor Heyedahl's odyssey across the Pacific: the robust Royal KonTiki, also available on a blackened case and silver dial. Miguel Seabra/Espiral do Tempo A new focusAfter being absent in 2013, Eterna returned to Baselworld this year with a generously-sized stand in Hall 5. 0. The acquisition by the China Haidian Group in 2011 has invigorated the 158-year old firm and the recent separation of the activities of Porsche Design timepieces allows the owners to focus exclusively on Eterna. "We are now finally focusing on Eterna," China Haidian's CEO, Shang Jian Guang, explained to us. "We had a very good negotiation with Porsche Design and will continue the cooperation, supporting them with after-sales service and still providing our movements. But from now on we want to fully concentrate our energy on Eterna. "? One movement, 88 variantsThe new modular in-house Calibre 39 is the company's star. Just three screws are needed to attach any number of auxiliary modules. The first Eterna replica watch to be fitted with the Calibre 39 is the Royal KonTiki Two Time Zones, a sporty GMT timepiece inspired by a 1970s KonTiki predecessor that is powered by the first of 88 possible variants of the new movement, the 3945A self-winding calibre, beating at 28,800 vph and with a 68-hour power reserve. The Royal KonTiki Two Time Zones on a rubber strap and the new caliber 3945A, based on the automatic manufacture Calibre 39. Eterna Shang Jian Guang knows that, with a solid industrial base, Eterna is prepared to face demanding challenges. "We will continue to invest in developing Eterna as a manufacture movement company and we already did a lot of work to prepare our expansion, especially in the Asian market. This year we made our best effort to prepare for Baselworld so our distributors would have more confidence seeing our new booth and the new collections. But, basically, we have to continue working in terms of movement technology and production value and also in terms of our capability to provide our movements to other brands. In the future, we have to continue the DNA of Eterna and see what the market demands, so it's a combination of heritage and the main trends. I respect the Swiss culture and trust the Swiss team to do it. "? Pointing out favoritesAnd what would be the China Haidian CEO's favourite timepieces among the new products shown at Baselworld? "There's a lot in the collection that I really like. The new KonTiki replica watches , the more classic Rialto - which feeds the Asian taste - and the replica watches with our own manufacture movements. "? Members of the classic line, here in versions that confirmed a bicolored trend at this year's Baselworld: the Rialto and the 1948 Legacy. Eterna We also asked Bruno Jufer, vice-president of sales & marketing at Eterna, to assess the timepieces introduced at the fair: "Among the novelties I'd choose one particular model from the classic line: the 1948 Legacy. It's a really classic replica watch with a curved movement with big date and a beautiful silver curved dial. A really nice interpretation of the Eterna-Matic from 1948! It reflects the heritage and the big value of tradition in our brand. "? A chronograph on the waySo what will be the next variation for the versatile Calibre 39? "We will introduce it with a chronograph function," admits Bruno Jufer. "It's going to be a big step for Eterna and you will see next year when we come up with a beautiful calibre in a chronograph version - it will be another milestone for Eterna". The Military Limited Edition 1939, available in steel and blackened steel cushion cases, is this year's addition to the Heritage line. Miguel Seabra/Espiral do Tempo Eterna's Heritage range has a special place in the heart of die-hard aficionados and collectors, with the Super KonTiki 1973 being the most popular reinterpretation to date and even gaining cult status. The most recent instalment of the Heritage line is a military-inspired piece based on a 1939 cushion model. "The reason behind the Heritage collection is, as the name says, to show our heritage and go back in our archives to look what Eterna did in the past. To reinterpret these models in a modern style is the idea of the Heritage collection. The good thing is we have such a huge tradition that we will bring up in the next years many other interesting models that will broaden the Heritage collection. "? We will be waiting for them. On display at Baselworld: the four first members of the Heritage line, a family that is expected to grow in the next years. Eterna
Final 7 days, around the eighth of March, I attended the replica iwc exhibit at Ace Dik (AceJewelers. com) in Amsterdam. I had been particularly interested during the new Portuguese using the dial on the red gold variation and - not surprisingly - the brand new replica iwc Yacht-Club.
A person on the most interesting timepieces was the replica iwc Portuguese Grande Complication, as pictured previously mentioned (and beneath). This flagship on the Portuguese selection (with reference number 3774) can be a stunning time piece constrained to only fifty pieces for every year. This 45mm diameter automatic winding look at contains a amount of quite amazing functions, just like a chronograph, perpetual calendar with with shows to the day, date, month, year (in 4 digits) and perpetual moon period. And previous not but certainly not the very least, a minute re-peater (see beneath).
I am testing the moment re-peater here. Summary: Is effective as made. Rate tag on this Grande Complication, +/- 170. 000 Euro. Another perpetual calendars from the Portuguese family are pictured underneath, 1 in a beautiful blue dial. However, I really am into the gold Portuguese perpetual calendar
Other replica watches of curiosity were the new Portuguese Yacht-Club and the Ingenieur Zidane edition (500 items). At the beginning, I did not obtain the Yacht-Club (ref. 3902). The weird plastic seeking crimson hand as well as the fragile chronograph pushers appeared a tad odd on the rough look ahead to sailers. Having said that, the pushers are derived through the thingies with a boat which they use to wrap the rope all around. That makes a bit a lot more sense but will not reveal the red 2nd hand. The rubber strap is additionally nice, but an alligator strap could do the trick for this replica watch as well.
Down below, you see a picture of your replica iwc show with - among other people - the Zidane Ingenieur, using a brown dial. The dial is - irl - chocolate brown, the '10 hour marker is red as well as rotor also has the quantity ten engraved. This was - naturally - the quantity of Zinedine Zidane when he was while in the national league of France. The two the Yacht-Club with in-house chronograph movement as well as the Zidane Ingenieur with in-house 7-days motion are priced all around 10K Euro.
The replica iwc Portuguese 7-Days in stainless steel while using the dial within the red gold product Portuguese wasn't my cup of tea following all. The used hour markers and palms had been far too yellow-ish for my style as well as dial shade isn't going to match chrome steel. I want the chrome steel product with both silver/white dial or black dial.
All in all a superb occasion organized by Ace Dik in Amsterdam. A big thank you to Alon and his crew (a. o. Dimer) for remaining perfect hosts through the evening. Photos higher than each taken by Dimer of Ace and Gerard, who accompanied me to Ace Dik.
