Somebody once called it the watch money couldn’t buy. This wasn’t a watch that was curved straight from a bar of gold. It was something even better, something more unique, much more exclusive such that by the time the rest of the world had even dreamed of hearing about it, virtually every last single one had been bought and paid for and were simply awaiting delivery. It was Hublot’s big bang wally!

The result of a long lasting partnership between Hublot and Monaco based Yacht manufacturers, Wally, the big bang wally was the yacht enthusiast’s dream watch. With an exclusivity of only 500 pieces made and an array of features that were uniquely Hublot’s including the Hublonium alloy that was used to make the cases, this was a dream watch simply out of the fact that you could only own one in your dreams.

The deal that made the wally even more significant to the yachting world was the appointment of Hublot as the official timekeeper at the 2009 Copa del Rey (King’s Cup) competition. The world renowned yachting competition attracted the who’s who of the yachting world including a yacht belong to Spain’s Prince Phillipe. The association that comes with the Hublot brand was enviable and everybody wanted to be a part of the exclusive club but in such a case, 500 was a number with fewer than impossible odds.

This is where the real enthusiasts turned to replica Hublot watches and even these were quickly sold out and production numbers had to go up. The club of 500 suddenly had an increase in members as everyone sought to have a piece of the glory and also as an added incentive, the prices of the Hublot replica watches were far below those of the originals and everybody loves a good deal, so they say.

We have stars in our eyes when we think about those sleek and glamorous German cars – Mercedes, Porsche, BMW…the list it long. The regard for German engineering precision is unparalleled. And this reverence is extended to Teutonic luxury watches too. One of the monarchs of this realm is Glashutte Original. This watch maker, with a 165 year-long behind it, makes ripples on the watch making scene every time a gorgeous timepiece is unveiled. Watches from this brand are revered as much for technical brilliance and accuracy as for their designer aesthetics.

Stationed at the eponymous town, near Dresden, it has achieved complete in-house production of watch components. A dedicated team of engineers, craftsmen and jewelers work hand in glove to make horologic masterpieces from zilch. There are about ten patented movements in its possession and the credit goes to the acumen of its executives and the toil of a team of committed watch makers.

With an eye on the burgeoning market for women’s accessories the brand came up with the Lady Sport Edition, and the modern and professional ladies of the day were not disappointed. Making waves in the horologic spectrum the PanoRetrograph was unveiled – with a first-of-its-kind chronograph that can count time in reverse. Albeit a version of the PanoDate model, it can hold its ground on its own. The Alfred Helwig Tourbillon 2 watch was designed to pay tribute to the pioneering horologist and was christened after him. Born out of the brand’s association with Meissen porcelain, it includes a ceramic disc with a hand-drawn image of the revered watch maker.

Such astounding creations always come with a price, a hefty one. If you have hitherto unfulfilled dreams of owning a luxury watch, now is the time to invest in one. Keep skepticism at bay and buy a Replica Glashutte, replete with all the features of the original. And the resemblance is so perfect that not a single soul can tell the difference. The quality is excellent, durability top of the line, and glamour unparalleled. And yes, the price for a replica Glashutte is just a fraction of the original.
