“I see a red door and I want it painted black. No colors anymore, I want them to turn black . . .”
When it comes to dial colors, I am with the Rolling Stones – and so are a lot of other watch enthusiasts. Recent years have proven particularly colorful in the world of perfect replica watches, with a plethora of new green and blue dials; however, black is also beautiful – and black is definitely back.
Here are three charismatic examples putting black in the spotlight: the dark side has never looked so bright.
Replica Patek Philippe Calatrava Alarm Travel Time Reference 5520P Watches: sunburst black
We regularly hear that everything important in the realm of high horology has already been invented and nothing groundbreakingly new is being invented any more.
Well, Patek Philippe has once again proven these attitudes wrong. At Baselworld 2019, the time-honored Swiss manufacture introduced its highly sophisticated Swiss made fake Patek Philippe Calatrava Travel Time GMT watches with a complicated 24-hour alarm function directly integrated into the movement.
The Calatrava Travel Time originally made its debut in 2015, marking a first in the collection and a premiere in high-end Swiss watchmaking. No surprise that Patek Philippe places the Calatrava Alarm Travel Time right into its grand complications line, on par with the brand’s most technically sophisticated timepieces – top UK replica watches like repeaters, perpetual calendars, tourbillons, and split-second chronographs.
For fans of “dark” watches, the stunning ebony-black sunburst dial on this masterpiece makes it a true feast for the eyes.
While the alarm is generally not considered a high-end complication, the ingenious mechanism of the newly designed automatic Caliber AL 30-660 S C FUS, five years in the making and specifically created for this model, takes the function to a whole new level. The Patek Philippe Calatrava Travel Time copy watches for sale now displays a to-the-minute-accurate mechanical digital indication of the 24-hour alarm time beneath the 12 o’clock mark.
And if this is not enough, you can see whether the alarm is on or off just by looking at a tiny bell above the alarm aperture. Like the date, the alarm is coupled with the local time, a very convenient feature for travelers.
The alarm boasts excellent acoustic quality, ringing powerfully enough to wake its owner in its classy way: its single note rings for up to 40 seconds, striking a gong 2.5 times per second.
The cheap replica Patek Philippe Calatrava Travel Time watches’ mechanism is not unlike that of a minute repeater: a centrifugal governor beneath a bridge ensures regular and sustained strikes. As such it requires considerable energy to sustain the cadence, so it is equipped with its own separate spring barrel wound by its own crown at 4 o’clock. A built-in clutch prevents inadvertent overwinding.
All hands on deck
First introduced in 1997, the brand’s travel time function employs two central hands to indicate local and home time. While the home-time hour hand is skeletonized, the minute and hour hands showing the local time are filled with Super-LumiNova for maximum legibility in the dark – as are the bold Arabic numerals contrasting against the lustrous black background.
These hour hands are paired with two day/night indicators in small round apertures – at 3:30 for home time and at 8:30 for local time. Thus, this GMT super clone watches shop offers a clean and almost intuitive layout that is hard to top.
I am particularly fond of the bold numerals in vintage-pilot style and the prominent date subdial at 6 o’clock.
Although the view of the dial is fascinating, turning the Calatrava Travel Time’s platinum case over rewards us with an unimpeded view of Caliber AL 30-660 S C FUS, comprising no less than 574 components despite its height of just 6.6 mm.
Looking through the sapphire crystal, you discover the wealth of Patek Philippe’s painstakingly executed decorations and finishes as well as the silent governor beneath the gilded Calatrava cross.
As an aside, the Calatrava Alarm Travel Time is the manufactory’s first grand complication housed in a water-resistant case, making it suitable for everyday use.
I believe that high quality Patek Philippe replica watches has once again raised the bar of high-end horology designed for easy, everyday use with this clever combination of complications wrapped in tasteful vintage-pilot design.

Fake Hublot Classic Fusion Orlinski Watches: artistic black
Richard Orlinski and Hublot are two of a kind: the Parisian sculptor famous for his open-air art installations and Swiss luxury brand Hublot replica watches with Swiss movements share a passion for the exceptional, and both test the limits in their respective fields.
In teaming up, we can only expect an extraordinary marriage of art and horology.
Whereas the previous manufacture chronograph designed by the artist in conjunction with Hublot featured a skeletonized dial revealing parts of its Caliber HUB1155, the 1:1 fake Hublot Classic Fusion Orlinski watches highlights the sculptural ideal on its black dial. Its fascinating geometry featuring a mini pyramid in the center offers an intriguing interplay of light and dark.
Orlinski’s signature edges, bevels, and facets are miniaturized and crafted with highest precision for the small-scale proportions of a wristwatch, creating a mirror-like effect reminding me of the reflections of a mountain in a crystal-clear, very still lake.
In contrast to most of Hublot’s other Classic Fusion replica watches site, this timepiece features a dodecagonal bezel that continues Orlinski’s signature use of forms and increases the subtle play of light accents on the pure lines even more.
Orlinski’s forms also continue through to the faceted titanium case, which squeaks in at a “dress-watch appropriate” size of 40 by 11.1 mm. The Hublot Classic Fusion Orlinski is powered by the line’s classic HUB 1100 movement, which is based on automatic Sellita Caliber SW 300.
The overall appearance of this AAA China fake watches is just stunning. Moving your wrist creates a constant interplay of shadow and light that is hard to take the eyes off; the indication of time seems almost secondary.
