Hublot and its brilliant Chief Executive Officer Jean Claude Biver have released an all black ceramic case monster! The King Bang series is an exclusively new design from Hublot and is very different from the older watches. No mystery why it's also a popular replica Hublot watch.

There is an endless list of Swiss companies that manufacture watches with a ceramic case. Hublot has led the chase in the ceramic luxury market in both research and development and one-of-a-kind designs that will of course, stand the test of time.

I only admire watches that I'll consider to be "upper tier" in the fine art and craftsmanship of Watchmaking. The new model is in an all-black color - a treat of boldness and greatness! There is another model I have seen that has a red bezel and pushers that is totally dazzling! I think this is the finest Hublot ever designed. What makes plenty of the Hublot watches so impressive is the polished stainless steel case.

Just to give you a brief background on ceramics and watchmaking... If you are thinking "ceramic is fragile and will crack" please be enlightened that ceramic is stronger than steel, is extremely light weight and the Swiss company that manufactures the watch cases for most of the market works in other areas of ceramic manufacture as well. As such, these manufacturers certainly know what they're getting themselves into. The reason the ceramic watch cases are so costly for the end user is waste. Ceramic cases that don't pass inspection are excluded from shipment and end up getting into the trash bins. As such, people just go for a Swiss replica Hublot Bigbang watch.

The movement in these watches is from La Joux Perret. It doesn't get much better than LJP. This is the HUB44 RTF. A split second chrono based on the rock solid ETA 7750 and taken to a stage of perfection that only LJP can achieve.

A split second function is a truly complex mechanism - and this should be attended to only be trained and expert watchmakers. This split second function accounts for a hefty price increase in the watch - employing high calibre watchmakers for manufacturing and after sales service.

It has been around more than twenty years now, the patents have expired and that leaves the technology of the base caliber to be perfected by outside sources. An ETA 7750 derivative and a La Joux Perret caliber of the same base is technically two dissimilar movements, at two different executions of perfection levels.

If you want top-caliber watches without having to pay a hefty price, go for the replica Hublot watch. Go to http://www.timetraditions.com to check out other great replica watches.
