The Independent Seconds was at its peak in the 18th century. Jaquet Droz pays tribute to this complication with this revised version of its iconic model, equipped with a new caliber.

A masterpiece of Rolex replica watchmaking precision, the Independent (or “Deadbeat”) Seconds is a very rare complication created during the Age of Enlightenment, at a time when Pierre Jaquet-Droz was crisscrossing Europe to present his timepieces at the royal courts of a continent in an intellectual fever. This new technique meant that the direct-drive seconds hand no longer advanced in a linear fashion, but rather made a small jump every second, giving extremely accurate measurements that were soon to lead to the birth of the chronograph.

Long forgotten, this little miracle of watchmaking has now been rediscovered by Jaquet Droz, as the watchmaker continues to revisit the great successes of its past to propose new watch models to a select circle of well-informed watch connoisseurs. By choosing to apply this historical technique to the Grande Seconde, one of its iconic models, the Brand remains faithful to its true identity: respect for tradition, a keenness to take on a new challenge, technical virtuosity – and a constant willingness to reinvent itself.

For this new model the dial of the Grande Seconde has been subtly reworked by the designers of brand known by its twin stars. Off-centered in the historic version, the seconds hand is now placed at the very heart of the dial, while the retrograde date indication occupies the space that is traditionally reserved for the seconds hand in this model. Immediately recognizable yet somehow different, both familiar and surprising, this Grande Seconde Deadbeat replica watches fascinates by its hypnotizing succession of “jumping” hands and numerals.

This new timepiece also provides Jaquet Droz with the opportunity to pull off a double technological exploit. After a first experience with the Grande Seconde Quantième Ivory Enamel watch in 2014, our craftsmen at La Chaux-de-Fonds have again used a balance-spring made of silicon, a material that is unaffected by magnetic fields or changes in temperature and pressure, and thus ensures exceptionally accurate timekeeping. The need to combine Independent Seconds, Calendar and Hour and Minute functions has led to the creation of a totally new caliber for which a patent has been applied for.

The mechanical components have been obtained thanks to the Swatch Group’s expertise in nanotechnology processes (particularly the LIGA process), which has led to the production of parts of an extremely high standard of precision. Finally, the choice of a 10-toothed cam rather than the 30-toothed variety normally used for an Independent Seconds function, together with the optimization of the shape of the pallets, combine to make the Independent Seconds a spectacle that is as aesthetically elegant as it is technically ingenious.

Lovers of high precision Rolex fake watches are sure to fall under the spell of this Grande Seconde Deadbeat watch model.

With its powerful design, unique indications, and bold sophistication, the new Avenue Dual Time embodies Harry Winston’s unsurpassable approach to Rolex replica watchmaking. This perfectly masculine timepiece, with its geometric lines, sizeable proportions, and wearable quality, does not follow traditional design principles. It features an off-center dial for local time and a retrograde indication for a second time zone, exemplifying the spirit of Harry Winston’s complicated watchmaking.

Total design

The Avenue Dual Time is decisively masculine in design and an absolute embodiment of Harry Winston’s signature style. Though in an entirely new case, it incorporates the basic design principles of the House’s Avenue Collection — rectangular shapes and a central arch that embraces the hand-sewn alligator strap. Its powerful design creates an intensely focused look. The size of this timepiece, 53.80 mm long and 35.80 mm wide, is only one of the many qualities that contribute to its grand presence. Its powerful styling is ever present: in the clear lines that define the dial, in the facetted lugs, and in the diamond-chamfered lines of the case. The timepiece allows for comfortable wear, as the slope of the lugs and the curved caseback are designed to accommodate the contours of the wrist. The Avenue Dual Time also features a distinctive crown. This well-designed addition, unlike traditional versions, is set at an angle, offering further proof that Harry Winston’s cheap replica watches making sets new standards and invents new horological concepts.

Unique materials

This timepiece embodies the House’s unique style with its use of Zalium™, an ultra-light alloy developed by and exclusive to Harry Winston. It not only allows for comfortable wear but also defends against scratches and tarnishing. For the first time,Harry Winston also uses Sedna™ gold, giving the timepiece a warmer color and finer finish. This unique 18K gold alloy has a high proportion of palladium instead of the silver usual in rose gold alloys. It gives Sedna™ gold a unique and unchanging lasting luster and deep richness color.

Two faces

The dial of the Avenue Dual Time has its own distinctive character, revealed through twin indications. The indications are split into two zones on two floors, with two levels of display, two types of indication and two styles of finish. The main time zone is offset on the right and has two hands under smoked sapphire crystal. This dial is closest to the movement and is set with hour markers that are perfectly visible. On the left, a second dial, closer to the crystal, reveals local time. The careful arrangement of vertical openings gives the Avenue Dual Time a unique personality. The local time zone’s hands successively cross these windows, vanishing from one to reappear in the next.

Dedicated mechanisms

The unique off-center dual time indicators are driven by a movement, superlative in quality and true to the Harry Winston standard. The caliber HW3502 epitomizes the two core principles of Harry Winston’s watchmaking: the off-center indications and the retrograde display, both key components of this timepiece and its movement. To simplify, the crown controls all functions. Perfect for the world traveler, the main time zone on this timepiece also has a day/night indicator. The second timezone works in a different way. Pulling on the crown removes the red hand from sight. The time is set using a small disc located in the opening at the center of the dial. Pushing in the crown, the hand returns to its position. This sequence is essential to the proper functioning of the retrograde system that displays the local time. The hand moves gradually from 0 to 12 o’clock, before instantly returning to 0 to start over. Notably, the caliber HW3502 is not only a display tool, but also a representation of the demanding and supreme quality of Harry Winston’s watchmaking. This mechanical automatic movement is finished in the most superlative manner.

Design is at the forefront of the Avenue Dual Time. It is both aesthetically pleasing and deliberately comfortable, offering style and functionality. Harry Winston Rolex fake watches are an impressive combination of powerful designs, expert shapes and volumes, and unusual indications that meet every day needs. The Avenue Dual Time has all of these qualities and represents the ultimate in Harry Winston watchmaking.
