Our meeting with http://www.modserap.com/hublot-replica-australia-for-sale.html watches is very early on the first day of Baselworld 2013. We arrived at the Hublot brand booth before it is totally setup. People around us are putting up displays and arranging neighboring booths in anticipation of 2013's crowd of press, buyers, and the public. tag heuer carrera replica Vincent Perriard is busy checking the microphone for his upcoming press conference and ensuring that small details around the hip black and green booth are just right. This is Hublot's second year at Baselworld, an extremely familiar trade show event for watch industry veteran Perriard. The new booth is bigger and better this year and he has debuted their second major piece, the Replica (debuted here on aBlogtoWatch).
Compared to the Replica, the rolex Submariner replica watch is quite different, even though it doesn't actually do anything different, and still uses the same liquid-filled hour indicator tube. It is different because it is much more of an intense horological object. If the Replica is a sports car produced by Lexus, the Replica is an exotic supercar that is perhaps less practical, but clearly better looking in your driveway for some reason. It happens to be that with its expansive sapphire crystal and deeply exposed movement, the Replica is beautiful... beautiful despite its clear science fiction inspiration that feels like it wants to be an engine much more than a watch movement. There is also the matter of evil robot Darth Vader-esque face you see staring back at you on the rear of the movement plate. A mixture of high-end complexity, Hublot's new watch will make a gear head out of anyone.
Giulio Papi of Audemars Piguet was responsible for the movement of the Replica. Perriard considers him a genius of design especially when it comes to producing deep-feeling complex movements that push the limits of the imagination. For example, because the Hublot Replica uses liquid for the hours, it is affected by outside temperature. So what did they do? Produce a special thremo-regulator that ensure the watch operates perfectly in most all conditions. Nevertheless, there is a tiny thermometer on the dial that tells you if the watch is in an ideal operating temperature or if you need to cool it off (or warm it up) a bit.
Perhaps the best part of the Replica recipe is that you don't need to be a watch lover to appreciate it. There is a simple enjoyment bestowed upon you for simply looking into the dial and examining all the tiny little parts. I think high-end watches of this ilk have the potential to do the best as they are almost self evident in their level of impressiveness. Once again, for 2013 Hublot will produce only 50 Replica watches. Certainly a stunner if you can manage to put one on.
