Replica MCT Watches -from wealth to destruction and back

Within a few weeks of Baselworld 2014, independent watchmaker MCT Watches is expected to launch their first truly new watch in years. Needless to say, this is a highly anticipated event for fans of the brand, especially considering that their first series is very popular; Sequential One and last year's follow-up S-110. However, it is likely that many of you have never even heard of MCT watches or the S1 series, which is why today we review their relatively short history so that you can fully understand the exciting debut next month.

It is a long and sometimes difficult road for MCT Watches to get to where it is today. However, their story is not a unique one. In fact, it records the experience of many independent watchmakers working hard to establish a reputation in the fiercely competitive world of luxury watches. However, the brand has always been committed to producing unique, high-quality products, which, more than anything else, helps to ensure their survival.jacob and co astronomia replica watches

MCT watches-a brief history MCT entered the watchmaking world in 2009, but in fact, the development of their concept has been going on for many years before the official launch. The arrogant young brand founded by Denis Giguet with the help of an anonymous financial backer has set himself the goal of designing unique and distinctive watches so that customers can really fast , Tell the time easily.

It may not be entirely a revolutionary concept, but you must remember that this is when the full impact of the global financial crisis began to be felt on a global scale. The ostentatious but often impractical design of luxury watches that once dominated the six-figure price range is being avoided in favor of softer wrist wear, which still looks good and does not attract a lot of unnecessary attention. Having said that, this is always a difficult market to crack.

However, Giguet is ready to meet the arduous task before him. After all, this is not his first foray into watchmaking. At the age of 39, this highly motivated French engineer has enjoyed a very successful corporate career, first with Rolex and then Harry Winston watches. As production supervisor, he was closely involved in the acclaimed Opus. Series (from 1 to 6). jacob and co astronomia replica watches

He then went on to found his own consulting company in Geneva, where he helped leading brands achieve their technical goals while developing their own ideas. It was here that he conceived the original idea of ​​MCT and shared his grand plan for the future in an early interview:

"My goal is to'change the face of time' by using a new and very unique movement and visual display, always using a large and unique hour indicator. Many expensive watches have strange and wonderful designs, But they tend to have very few features. Our customers tell us that they now want to buy "real" watches, not pure fantasy objects."

Nonetheless, he knew they needed an amazing first timepiece to really attract people's attention,

and went on to say:

"The risk of launching a new brand is very high. In the current environment, this risk is greatly exaggerated. If the new best fake watches does not have its own uniqueness, the brand cannot survive for long. For me, design and production A similar watch with our own movement is very important. I must ask others to judge whether it is really an exception."

MCT watch-sequence table His answer is Sequential One (S1), MCT's first watch. S1's unique interpretation of the time-jumping complications presents an unprecedented dial configuration. Conceived by the outstanding watch designer Eric Giroud and a team of watchmakers, each function is based on a combination of elements rotating on a 3-dimensional axis at different speeds and points in time. The oversized hour numerals on the 12 facets are combined with a jumping sapphire crystal dial with a single hand to indicate the minutes. It’s difficult to explain exactly what it looks like, so it’s easier to show you in this video provided by industry veteran Ian Skellern:

However, what really impresses fans is the complexity of the movement. It is fully developed in-house and consists of approximately 471 components. It is more complicated than the construction of the tourbillon. Each tourbillon takes several days to assemble in MCT's Geneva studio.

Although its square case is slightly unusual, Sequential One is very comfortable to wear on the wrist. It can be easily slid under the cuff, which is suitable for those more scattered occasions, and because of the highly intuitive and clear and easy-to-read time display, the time can be read quickly and easily by just a glance at the wrist. But what I really like is that you can easily wear this watch with a suit and tie. People will not watch it twice, but at the same time it still has enough surprise factors. If you wear it, you can immediately attract people’s attention. Attention comes out of its hiding place.

MCT watches-the era they are changing Unfortunately, despite the initial success of the brand, MCT still struggled to gain real appeal and was unable to launch any follow-up models to the acclaimed Sequential One. Until last year, the new owner took over, injecting new vitality and some much-needed capital into the company. Giguet is gone and replaced by the new CEO François Candolfi. It is clear that they need to act quickly to keep the brand alive in the hearts of people and collectors.Replica Bovet watches

The first step in charge of reversing Candolfi was the release of the S-110 designed by Fabrice Gonet (the co-founder of HD3) at Baselworld 2013. To gain insight into the brand's long-term strategy, it is more important to bring MCT back to people's sight. The price of the new S-110 series is more competitive than their older brothers, and consists of several variants, based on the original 45mm case, although it is now titanium instead of gold. Like their predecessors, everyone’s wrists are very comfortable, reading is a breeze, and they look really cool.

For MCT watches, this may be a difficult road to redemption, but I believe that 2014 will be the year when things really start to turn in their favor. Of course, only time will tell.

Author’s Note: The focus of this article is more on Sequential One, because I think it’s necessary for telling the story of MCT, but unfortunately, I only have live footage of the newer S-110 (they don’t want to Let's focus) There are many on the S1 of Baselworld, because obviously S-110 is their new series. ) Although the watch is basically the same, the new model has a slightly different dial, and the case is made of titanium instead of precious metal.replica watches on sale
