Jean-Claude Biver, President of the LVMH Group Breitling fake Watch Division and CEO of TAG Heuer commented: “Be Unique, Different and the First has always been my personal philosophy in all my 40 years of activities, from products development to marketing and sponsoring. TAG Heuer is the first luxury brand to enter the Surf World. Our motto #DontCrackUnderPressure fits perfectly with the WSL Big Wave Tour and makes our partnership different and innovative. It will give TAG Heuer a great boost in terms of connecting with young people, with the support of our friend Kai Lenny and his highly contagious enthusiasm.

TAG Heuer spin up its first store in Panama

TAG Heuer replica watches proudly opened its first store in Panama City in Multiplaza Pacific Mall under the turntable of Sara Castro well known Panamanian’s young DJ!

The ribbon cutting ceremony was attended by the management of TAG Heuer with the presence of Henri Monti, Sales Director for Latin America and Sabrina Bergopsom Marketing Director, and Roberto Neira General Manager of Motta International, the partner of the brand since its inception in the country over 20 years ago.

The new boutique bears the latest TAG Heuer design concept which expresses its four universes (Sports, Lifestyle, Art, Heritage and Swiss Know-how) through the use of prestigious and avant-garde materials with a blend of warm and chic colors. Using a succession of strata to break up the walls with giants visuals of the brand’s ambassadors, it creates an entirely vibrant new way of showcasing its products.

It is the 6th boutique in Latin America and the 169th worldwide, and completes the wide spread international retail network at the premium locations (Geneva, Paris Champs- Elysees, New York City 5thAvenue, Ginza, Singapore Orchad Road, Hong Kong Times Square…) of the Swiss Avant-Garde Luxury Swiss Breitling replica watchmaker.

When entering the store, the guests were magnetized by the unique Carrera Mikropendulum epitomic timepiece regulated by electromagnetic field instead of traditional gears and the TAG Heuer 2015 novelties such as TAG Heuer Carrera 1887 with blue dial. Throughout the evening Sara taught a few DJ’s trick and between two tracks, she even had the time to set some impressive timing by driving the motoracing simulator.

The opening of the store will be celebrated with the general public through the motor racing exhibition which will take place from April 29th to May 2nd 2015 in front of the new Breitling replica watches store at ground level of the Multiplaza Pacific Mall.  During the 4 days, the mall goers will be able to enter in a daily competition to attempt to be on the podium and to be rewarded with a prize from the brand.

MB&F Legacy Machine 101 ‘Frost’

Frost. Brrrrr! For many, the word “frost” conjures forth images of breath-condensing cold and bright, early-morning winter sunshine scintillating off frost-covered lawns. That natural frost sparkles vivaciously due to light reflecting off the microscopically uneven ice crystals – exactly like the LM101 Frost sparkles due to light reflecting off its microscopically uneven frosted surface.

First presented in 2014, Legacy Machine 101 embodies and accentuates what is essential in a wrist Omega replica watches: the balance wheel, which is responsible for regulating precision; how much power remains in the mainspring, which indicates when it needs to be next wound; and of course, the time. With the new ‘Frost’ limited editions, those essential LM101 elements now contrast magnificently against the effervescent backdrop of the frosted gold dial − which paradoxically is not really a dial at all, but the top plate of the movement. Additional contrast is provided by Frost’s highly polished bezel and lugs, which make the matte surface of the frosted dial really pop.

Abraham-Louis Breguet is credited with inventing the “frosted” finish (“finition grenée” in French) in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. At the time, frosting protected dials and movements from oxidation – more common in Breguet’s day – and added subdued vivacity to movement plates. Traditional frosting methods involved dangerous acids which have been largely replaced by the environmentally (and medically) safer method of carefully compressing the surface with a wire brush. However, this is a much more difficult process to master and obtain a uniform, non-polished surface. Very few Artisans today create true frosted finishes: the majority of surfaces that look frosted have in fact been bead blasted, which does not quite have the same visual impact.

Visually, LM101 Frost is dominated by the monumental suspended balance wheel, now rhodium plated so that it stands out even more. Two pristine-white subdials hover just above the fine frosted movement top plate: contrasting blued-gold hands display hours and minutes at the top right, while the 45-hour power reserve indicator is displayed below.

LM101 Frost’s highly domed sapphire crystal is virtually invisible, creating the illusion that you can reach out and touch the prodigious balance wheel hanging mesmerisingly from elegant twin arches. The arches are milled from a solid block of metal requiring hours of hand polishing to achieve its mirror-like lustre.

Turning over LM101 Frost, the display back crystal – domed to reduce the thickness of the caseband and, visually, the height of the Breitling replica watches online – reveals the exquisitely hand-finished movement. Sensually curved plates and bridges, hand polished bevels, gold chatons and countersunk blued screws pay homage to the style found in historic pocket watches and testify to the respect accorded to historical legitimacy.

While award-winning independent replica Breitling watchmaker Kari Voutilainen took responsibility for the movement’s fine finishing and fidelity to the horological past, its architecture and construction were developed in-house by MB&F.

Legacy Machine 101 Frost is available in two limited editions: 18 pieces in yellow gold and 33 pieces in red gold.

Richard Mille congratulates the winners of the 6th edition of Les Voiles de Saint Barth

Les Voiles de Saint Barth came to an end on 18th of April, after a week of breathtaking sailing. As the principal sponsor of the event, Richard Mille was delighted to present the trophy to the winner George David, businessman and owner of the Maxi Yacht Rambler 88. The Swiss replica watches manufacturer introduced at the same time a 50-piece-limited edition of the RM 60-01 Flyback Chronograph Regatta, in the colours of Les Voiles de Saint Barth.

Over 1,000 yachtsmen and women from 20 different nations participated in the 2015 Voiles de St Barth. The 56 teams aboard the most prestigious yachts were sponsored by the French skipper Loïck Peyron, the most recent winner of the Route du Rhum and Sailor of the Year 2014.

The sailing conditions were favorable around the Caribbean islands. The competitors made the most of a good Swiss Breitling replica breeze of 15 to 18 knots and slight seas around St. Barth. These conditions proved beneficial for some and difficult for others, creating surprises and a few changes in the rankings.

George David, winner of the 2010, 2011 and 2012 editions, won for a fourth time in the Maxi Yacht class. His boat, designed by architect Juan Kouyoumdjian, was launched in early December and pushes the boundaries of technology to make it a record-breaker.

Richard Mille presented the Voiles de Saint Barth trophy to George David. The children of the YB Afraid Foundation (created by Yohan Blake, Jamaican sprinter and brand partner of Richard Mille, which helps improve the lives and security of young Jamaicans) presented the winner with the ultimate prize – a Richard Mille RM 60-01 Regatta Flyback Chronograph. This automatic Breitling replica watches for sale has been conceived and designed for open sea racing and is has a titanium rotating bezel with integral compass.

The week of competition also saw the team on board Sorcha, owned by Peter Harrison, CEO Richard Mille Europe, Middle East and Africa; take an honorable second place in the CSA Spinnaker 0 class. This boat was easily recognizable by its sublime spinnaker sporting a line-drawing of the RM 60-01 Regatta.

As principal partner of Les Voiles since its first edition, Richard Mille is delighted to be associated with its renewed success which further establishes the brand’s importance in the nautical world. The brand has already confirmed its role as principal partner for the 7th edition in 2016.
