Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore

The Replica Audemars Piguet Watches : Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph watch is a modern legend, epitomizing the popular genre of the luxury sports timepiece. First announced in 1993, the Offshore Chronograph watch represented a radical offshoot of the earlier Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch, which itself created a tremendous stir in 1972.

One of the most recognizable watch designs in the world, the Replica Audemars Piguet Watches - Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph watch features a 42.5mm case which displays a complex mixture of brushed and polished surfaces, each requiring extensive hand finishing; the eight sided Royal Oak bezel calls to mind the porthole of a ship, and bears the striking detail of hexagonal screws whose slots align to form a circle around the dial. Therban gaskets and well-insulated chronograph pushpieces and a screw-in crown ensure that the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph watches remain water-resistant to a depth of 100 meters. Of note, the crown and pushpieces are coated with rubber; Audemars Piguet's use of such rubber accents was an extremely daring design choice when this watch debuted, and significantly helped pave the way for rubber as an accepted material to be used in the design of high luxury watches.

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph watch is animated by a highly respected selfwinding movement; based upon the Jaeger-LeCoultre 889 Caliber, the AP 2226/2840 boasts a chronograph complication with both a 30-minute and 12-hour totalizer, as well as a rapidly adjustable date display. This luxurious movement, whose balance wheel beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, displays a high degree of refinement. The plate displays circular-graining (perlage) while the bridges feature Cotes de Geneve striping, and carefully chamfered edges. The bi-directional central rotor also displays Cotes de Geneve decor, as well as a 21K gold peripheral mass. To ensure maximum protection for this refined mechanism, Audemars Piguet has placed it beneath a soft-iron shield that offers resistance to strong magnetic fields.

The Replica Audemars Piguet Watches - Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph watch is offered in a breathtaking array of models in stainless steel, and the various colors of 18K gold. The dials of the Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph watches are as intricate as the rest of the design, and display the famous "grande tapisserie" hobnail pattern, in a broad selection of colors. For those who appreciate spectacular gem-set watches, the 18K gold Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph watch, pave-set with diamonds is a truly magnificent example.

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore watch collection also includes "Rubberclad" models in steel or 18K rose gold, which feature a bezel covered with rubber, against which the polished hexagonal screws make a particularly striking contrast. Depending upon the model, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph watch can be obtained with either a strap in leather or rubber, complete with an elegant folding clasp, or the famed Royal Oak Offshore bracelet, whose massive solidity and flawless craftsmanship create an extraordinary impression of quality.

Audemars Piguet - Jules Audemars Jumping Hour Minute Repeater Press Release

Jules Audemars Jumping Hour Minute Repeater

The hours sing out once more on the new Jules Audemars watch from Replica Audemars Piguet Watches. They also dance across the dial with its jumping display and elegant blued Arabic numerals. Combining two in-house specialities ¨C the Minute Repeater and Jumping Hours ¨C this marvel of precision and harmony perpetuates Audemars Piguet's supreme expertise in the field of complicated watches. With its case and dial featuring a new take on classical styling, it gives a fresh boost to the Jules Audemars collection. This delightful new model will be music to the ears of connoisseurs the world over.

Musical hours

Watchmakers in the Vall¨¦e de Joux have always nurtured a great passion and an innate talent for striking mechanisms. Perhaps because, amid the silence of the mountains and the hushed serenity of long snowbound winters, the crystal-clear sound of these miniature musical marvels strikes an even deeper, more meaningful chord. Or possibly because such a complex mechanism was bound to stir their legendary inventive spirit. Founded in Le Brassus in 1875, the Manufacture Audemars Piguet soon demonstrated its skills in the art of striking watches. In 1889, it presented a "Grande Complication" model equipped with a Minute Repeater mechanism striking the hours, quarters and minutes. It also devised a number of technical innovations serving to miniaturise these mechanisms: in 1891, it created a Minute Repeater model measuring a mere 18 mm in diameter; and in 1892, the first Minute Repeater wristwatch. Finally, in 1910, a Minute Repeater pocket-watch featured a magnificent movement characteristic of the elegant aesthetics cherished by the watchmakers of the Vall¨¦e de Joux.A minute repeater watch strikes on demand a low-pitched note for each hour, a double high- and low-pitched note for the quarters, and a high-pitched note for every minute that has elapsed since the last quarter. It calls for a particularly sophisticated mechanism, since the watch must not only be tuned like a musical instrument, but must also "know" at any time how many notes it must strike.

Throughout the 20th century, this know-how was displayed and consolidated in timepieces much coveted by connoisseurs, in which striking mechanisms are often combined with other complex mechanisms. In 1992, Replica Audemars Piguet Watches presented a wristwatch combining a Minute Repeater mechanism with another of its specialities: jumping hours. As early as 1924, making a complete break with the standard analog reading of time, the Manufacture in Le Brassus had introduced a pocket-watch with jumping hours and small seconds at 6 o'clock, distinguished by the inherently understated elegance of Art Deco.

A state-of-the-art Minute Repeater

The Replica Audemars Piguet Watches Calibre 2907 driving the new Jules Audemars Jumping Hour Minute Repeater is clearly inspired by the movement of the historical 1992 model, whereas the architecture has been entirely redesigned to match the new case dimensions. Audemars Piguet has implemented innovative solutions to accommodate the relatively large movement and the complex striking mechanism within a diameter of just 43 mm.Blending traditional expertise and cutting-edge technologies, the Manufacture has also endowed the audible mechanism with all the fine-tuned technical details that distinguish its latest generation of Minute Repeaters. In particular, the movement has been equipped with a device that does eliminate any audible gap when the watch does not need to strike a quarter (e.g. 9:13); the sequence of 9 hours and 13 minutes is thus struck smoothly and without any interruption. Minute Repeater watches generally preclude any manual time-setting when the striking mechanism is in operation, since this might damage the movement. To remedy this problem, Audemars Piguet has developed a system that disengages the time-setting system while the watch is striking. This set of breakthrough developments thereby enhances the reliability, the security and the user-friendliness of Minute Repeater watches, while remaining true to the aesthetic appearance of the vintage models.The jumping hour mechanism has also been optimised. So as to enlarge the numerals while making sure the disc was not too large for the movement, watchmakers had to rethink the positioning of the disc and shift it towards the centre of the calibre.

A highly contemporary face

In terms of aesthetics, Audemars Piguet has redesigned the round case of the Jules Audemars collection in a resolutely contemporary spirit. The slimmer bezel ensures maximum dial opening, creating a fine impression of space and lightness. The shimmering reflections of the finely polished and brushed pink gold or platinum surfaces emphasise the pure lines of the case featuring two lugs smoothly integrated with the bracelet. The dial also reinterprets the signature Jules Audemars classicism in a beautifully balanced composition. Its opaline base is adorned with a minute track and applied blued Arabic numerals radiating a modern and dynamic appeal. The hour aperture with its disc jumping instantly from one figure to another every sixty minutes is distinguished by a bevelled opening. The minutes are displayed in the dial centre by a flame-blued steel hand in the "Poire Paris" style. The small seconds tick away on a snailed subdial at 6 o'clock with a hollowed structure highlighted by a track motif and an original hollow-tipped baton hand.

The spirit of the Vall¨¦e

A sapphire crystal caseback enables one to admire the hand-wound Calibre 2907 with its 412 parts and its balance beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour. The architecture of this movement is entirely in harmony with the characteristic style favoured by the Vall¨¦e de Joux. The perfectly alignment of the three gear-train jewels forced the watchmakers to rebuild the entire going train. The rounded shape of most of the bridges almost appears to be drawn with a compass, starting with the crown-wheel. The finishing on the various parts is in keeping with the finest regional traditions, including mirror-polished surfaces and the care devoted to interior and external angles. All parts are finely bevelled and rhodium-plated and, depending on the specific part, decorated with "c?tes de Gen¨¨ve" or stippled. In an exquisitely refined styling detail, the "c?tes de Gen¨¨ve" adorning the bridges are lined up with the three gear-train jewels. This beautiful mechanical symphony is surrounded by the two Minute Repeater gongs that are struck by the two small hammers.

Audemars Piguet Millenary Watch Collection

Replica Audemars Piguet Watches is known as one of the top five fine timepiece manufacturers in the world. The Millenary collection has a unique oval shaped design that is noticeably different than the other Replica Audemars Piguet Watches collections. The AP Millenary collection is available in several sizes and variations. At the entry level of this collection is the automatic version with a date window.

The Automatic Millenary is available in stainless steel or yellow gold 39x35 mm case with either a white or black dial. We really like the Millenary self winding watch with Center Seconds. This watch has a unique design where the hours are measured on an offset inner dial and the seconds measured on the outside dial. The Center Seconds Millenary has a larger 45mm case than the automatic, and is only available in white or pink gold, with black or white dials. Looking for a GMT Dual Time zone watch for traveling? Then consider the Audemars Piguet Millenary Dual Time watch in pink or white gold.

The second time zone is easy to read on the sub dial set at six o'clock and the power reserve indicator will remind you to keep this watch properly wound for your world travels. For a sportier and more rugged model we suggest the Millenary Chronograph. Offered in a sturdy stainless steel case, the Millenary chronograph has a slight smaller case than the GMT, measuring 41x37mm. Car lovers will love the limited edition Millenary Maserati watch. Audemars Piguet launched this watch last year in partnership with Maserati and it is a true collectors timepiece. The Millenary Maserati features a GMT movement, with date, day/night indicator and a power reserve. Collectors can choose from a stainless steel, platinum or pink gold case.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Grande Complication watch

The Replica Audemars Piguet Watches Royal Oak Grande Complication watch is a masterpiece of exceptional haute horlogerie. Drawing upon a depth of watchmaking experience that can be traced to the earliest beginnings of the house of Audemars Piguet, the Royal Oak Grande Complication watch features a movement composed of more than 600 hand finished pieces. This extraordinary, complex creation demands many months of labor to complete and demonstrates one of the most celebrated achievements in all of complicated watchmaking.

The Replica Audemars Piguet Watches - Royal Oak Grande Complication watch displays the essential elements that comprise the fabled "Grand Complication"---a perpetual calendar, a split-seconds chronograph, and a minute repeater. The perpetual calendar complication indicates day of the week, date, month, and the leap year cycle, its complex mechanism automatically taking into account the different length of months throughout the year, most notably February, as it varies throughout the 4-year cycle. The split-seconds chronograph, representing the most prestigious type of chronograph complication, features two central chronograph hands, which are usually superimposed; however, by pressing the split-seconds button (which is co-axial with the winding crown of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Grande Complication watch) the split-seconds hand freezes, while the main hand continues onward; a second push of this button causes the hand to immediately overtake the primary hand and re-synchronize with it. This innovative chronograph complication allows for the measurement of two separate events, but due to its complexity, it remains a specialty of only a few accomplished watchmakers. Like all traditional split-second chronograph mechanisms, the chronograph control of this Audemars Piguet timepiece is governed by a column wheel, which ensures optimum smoothness and precision in the controls of the chronograph.

Last but certainly not least, the Replica Audemars Piguet Watches Royal Oak Grande Complication watch's minute repeater represents something remarkable each and of itself. This immensely difficult complication relies on a complex arrangement of racks, cams, and snails to translate the position of the hands into a series of coordinated strikes which clearly spell out the time in a beautiful series of chimes. Each time the slide lever on the found on the left side of the Royal Oak Grande Complication watch is activated, the hour will be struck on a low chime, the quarter hour(s) will be indicated on a high-low combination chime, and the individual minutes will be indicated with individual high chimes. Visible through the exhibition sapphire caseback, one can admire the multi-layered complexity of the fully integrated Audemars Piguet 2885 Caliber watch movement, as well as its luxurious hand refinement; this includes Cotes de Geneve striping on the bridges, and anglage (chamfering) on all the edges of the steel parts, including the hammers of the minute repeater, which also display a stunning specular polish. The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Grande Complication watch features a massive case and bracelet which is crafted exclusively from 18K gold (yellow, pink, or white) or 950 platinum. The famous Royal Oak watch design demonstrates the characteristic contrast between brushed and polished surfaces, as well as unparalleled attention to detail, with many dozens of hand-finished facets in all between the case, bracelet, and bezel; as is the case with all Audemars Piguet Royal Oak timepieces, the Royal Oak Grande Complication watch shows off the unique octagonal bezel with 8 hexagonal screws whose slots are all aligned to form a circle. The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Grande Complication watch is fitted with a beautiful dial that features the famous " body < year. each Brassus,Switzerland Le in workshop Piguet Audemars the leave will art horological of works these few a only watch, Complication Grande creating difficulty immense to Due them. behind lies that mechanism remarkable tribute fitting is dials invested craftsmanship painstaking silver, and blue, black, including colors selection offered pattern; Tapisserie?>

This form demands intensive hand finishing, and a great deal of experience, however, the end result is a wonderful treat for both the eye and the touch, which exudes the highest level of luxury and fine quality. This quality is also echoed inside of the watch.

Concealed beneath the caseback lies the selfwinding AP 2124/2825 caliber. Based upon the excellent Jaeger LeCoultre 889 base movement, this luxurious mechanism provides indications for both the day and the date, as well as a moonphase indicator. The 2124/2825 caliber winds efficiently thanks to a bidirectional rotor which is equipped with a 21K gold segment to provide greater inertia. This movement reflects the proud craftsmanship practiced in the Audemars Piguet workshop in Le Brassus, Switzerland, and displays all the traditional techniques, including perlage on the plate, and Cotes de Geneve and anglage on the bridges and winding rotor.

A variety of dial colors are offered for this distinguished sports watch classic, including silver, blue, or black, depending upon the model--these dials demonstrate a fine "Grand Tapisserie" pattern, whose intricacy perfectly complements the Royal Oak case and bracelet; the polished gold hands and hour markers of the Royal Oak Day Date watch feature luminous material, which ensure that the timepiece can be easily read, even at night. The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Day Date watch is joined to its owners wrist by an elegant deployant clasp which features a secure release mechanism signed with the Audemars Piguet initials.
