The received wisdom in recent months is that titanium has won a widespread acceptance in luxury watchmaking. The material does, of course, offer plenty of benefits to watchmakers due to it being lightweight, strong and corrosion-resistant. But while titanium fake watches online uk are hardly new, it’s taken the watch world a while to fully embrace them, perhaps due to the fact that consumers are psychologically attuned to associate weight with quality.
Those reservations apparently ended last year with a plethora of brands embracing titanium. Notable releases in the material included the cheap fake Rolex DeepSea Challenge, Tudor Pelagos 39 and Longines Spirit Titanium, while some of the most prestigious brands around – A. Lange & Sohne, Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe also decided they were ready to lighten up, too. That momentum has only continued this year with Watches & Wonders unveiling the luxury replica Rolex Yacht-Master in RLX Titanium, Oris Kermit and Czapek Antarctique Titanium Dark Sector among others.
Yet just before Isaac Newton get his knickers in a twist, something else was also notable at this year’s biggest watch fair. Platinum, the super clone watch material renowned for its considerable weight, appeared in a number of what were (for me at least), some of the biggest showstoppers of the fair.
Amid the five new models to mark the perfect replica Rolex Daytona’s 60th anniversary, Rolex released the platinum Cosmograph Daytona with its icy blue sunburst dial encircled by that chestnut brown Cerachrom bezel. Notably it offered a sapphire caseback that allowed you to peek at the 4131 movement featuring a rare gold rotor.
Vacheron wowed us with the Patrimony Retrograde AAA quality fake Rolex Day-Date whose dusty rose dial is encased by platinum’s soft white hue. The top half of the dial featured a semi-circle of printed date numerals pointed to by a blued, skeletonised hand , while the bottom half includes a smaller hand that denotes the days spread out in a fan-like shape.
Meanwhile Swiss movement replica Cartier’s new Privé Tank Normale collection included a platinum version that was available on a case-matching, seven-link brick bracelet also available in platinum.
I appreciate that platinum super clone watches for sale are nothing new. Yet at a time when the top quality fake Cartier world is so enamoured with titanium’s lightweight functionality, the heft and luxury of platinum seem no less desirable for brands when it comes to the special timepieces they really want to shout about. Platinum’s whiter hue, it seems, offers the yin to titanium’s gun-metal grey yang. Which is hopefully reassuring news for Chinese cosmologists.
