Alter Yourself: Six interesting
high quality watches replica from the luxury watchmaker that are a little bit different from the usual When it comes to certain watchmakers, there are certain collections or watches that are immediately associated with that brand. Or at least, there will be preconceived notions about how a particular brand of watch should be designed.
In this week's article, we're going to dig a little deeper into some of the brands. We thought it would be nice to take a look at some watches that are a little bit unique or special, especially if it deviates slightly from the brand's typical design language or DNA. Think of it as the maverick in the family, but in a good way.
So without further ado, here are some of our picks.
Breguet Tradition 7067
When it comes to Breguet, one certainly imagines an elegant dress
replica luxury Watches with a beautiful guilloché dial. However, Breguet definitely has something a little different up its sleeve.
The Tradition line is a timepiece that hopes to change collectors' perception of the brand through its contemporary watch style. The core element of Breguet watches-the movement is hollowed out to show its brilliance. In addition, Tradition also retains the Breguet DNA that makes its watches unique, including the guilloche dial, Breguet hands, coin-shaped grooves on the case strap, and Breguet hairsprings. Talk about the best of both worlds.
Probably one of our favorite pieces in the collection is the Tradition 7067, which has a dual time zone display. There is no doubt that it is a beautiful timepiece, and the overall treatment is beautiful. Priced from S$59,700 onwards in precious metal, the Tradition 7067 is, in our opinion, an exceptional watch that showcases one of Breguet's masterpieces in watchmaking.
Vacheron Constantin Historiques American 1921 White Gold
The Vacheron Constantin Historiques American 1921 is a favorite among collectors. Many appreciate its beautiful design, and a little quirkiness of the 45-degree rotating dial.

Dubbed a "driver's watch," the idea is to allow users to easily see the time while their hands are on the steering wheel. While the concept is simple, it was (and still is) fairly novel, making the American 1921 quite fascinating even in this day and age. The cushion-shaped case and the placement of the crown further add to the fun and intriguing feel of this timepiece.
The watch is available in 36.5mm and 40mm. We think this watch is a perfect fit for the model. Price aside, the American 1921 is an excellent piece with a rich history to it. For those who can afford the slightly expensive price tag, this Vacheron Constantin is an absolutely fantastic addition to any watch collection.
Cartier drops platinum, exclusive to Bond Street, London
Originally conceived in 1967, the Cartier Crash has a story as fascinating as its name.
There have been many interesting claims about the conception of the crash. Some claim it was inspired by Salvador Dali's The Persistence of Memory, while others refer to a Cartier Baignoire Allongée damaged in a car accident. Regardless of the story, one thing is for sure – this watch is undeniably bold and stylish.

Cartier launched the Crash in Platinum exclusive to London's Bond Street earlier this month. The watch is priced at £43,000 (approximately S$73,560) and will be produced in limited numbers. There's something really cool about "Crash," and it's sure to be a conversation piece of interest to collectors and non-collectors alike.
Patek Philippe Calatrava Weekly Calendar Ref. 5212A
For a legendary brand like Patek Philippe, it is not easy to come up with something completely different and new. However, the exquisite Calatrava Weekly Calendar Ref. 5212A may do just that.
Ref. Launched in 2019. 5212A is a very unusual and special timepiece. It is worth noting that this watch is the first watch equipped with a weekly calendar complication. What makes this complication even more special is that the typography of the calendar markers is based on a sketch from Ref. 10. 5212A – This makes it completely unique and adds a personal touch to this fine timepiece.
For icing on the cake, the 40mm Ref. 5212A has a stainless steel case, which is rare for a Patek Philippe watch (excluding luxury sports
replica watches for sale). The Calatrava Weekly Calendar is truly a striking and remarkable piece, and we think it will become a future classic. Ref.'s current retail price. 5212A is S$51,200.
Lange Zeitwerk
In 2009, A. Lange & Söhne launched a timepiece that probably no one expected from the Glashütte manufacturer. The 41.9 mm watch is named "Zeitwerk", which goes against people's preconceived notions of a typical Lange timepiece.
At first glance, the Zeitwerk is definitely a special watch. Here we have a mechanically operated digital chronograph inspired by the five-minute clock of the Semper Opera House in Dresden. Of course, Lange executes it the way it only knows how, with a constant force mechanism that not only keeps time well but ensures that the digital display works instantly as it should.
It can be said that Zeitwerk combines modern timekeeping (digital display) with traditional watchmaking craftsmanship. While the concept of a digital display isn't exactly new, it's still an idea that hasn't been explored very often, and it's notable that it comes from a traditional and conservative watchmaker.

FP Journe Wanderer III
We wrap up this article with an incredible article from FP Journe: Vagabondage III.
As the name suggests, the Vagabondage III is a timepiece that is different in many ways. In addition to the unusual Tortue case, the timekeeping function of this watch is also quite peculiar. The watch features digital hour and second indicators, while an option for analog minutes is displayed.
The Vagabondage III hand-wound watch is powered by Caliber 1514 with a power reserve of approximately 40 hours. The watch is also equipped with a oscillating weight in order to store and release energy every second, enabling the jumping seconds mechanism to operate. The finishing of the 18K gold movement is equally stunning, using a variety of Haute Horlogerie finishing techniques.
Concluding Thoughts
These are definitely some of the more interesting timepieces from the brands we're highlighting today. For example, people don't usually associate Breguet with contemporary works. The same goes for Lange and FP Journe, whose interpretations of digital watches are impressive. Patek Philippe's Calatrava weekly calendar watch is also an unexpected watch. These are some of the things that make the six watches here today so interesting - even though some are not so obvious at first glance.
