In the heat of the Award Season, Swiss horologer Jaeger-LeCoultre cheap fake watches UK teamed up with creative brand consultancy Finch & Partners to premiere “The Art of Behind the Scenes” photo exhibition in Los Angeles.
Held February 11th – 26th at the KP Projects Art Gallery, the display offers an intimate glance behind the cameras of some of the most iconic movies of the past century. Here are Audrey Hepburn, unwinding on the set of Two For the Road, Brigitte Bardot playing cards and puffing on a cigarette during Viva Maria, Quentin Tarantino, John Travolta and Uma Thurman frolicking together during Pulp Fiction, and David Bowie during The Man Who Fell To Earth. Celebrating the art of Hollywood and that of photography, many of the showcased pictures are rare and never seen before.

Curated by Finch & Partners, “The Art of Behind the Scenes” goes back to the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, where it debuted at the Charles Finch Filmmakers Dinner and Awards at the Hotel du Cap. In May 2016, Jaeger-LeCoultre replica watches UK took the photographic collection to the New York Film Festival.
This year, the pictures arrived in Los Angeles with a benefit reception on February 21st, whose star-studded guest roster included producer Brett Ratner, actress Julia Sands and designer Ozwald Boetang among others.
The exhibition shapes the latest scene in Jaeger-LeCoultre’s long-standing involvement in the world of movies. Promoting the appreciation and preservation of film, the watchmaker has forged close ties with the best artistic film festivals around the world – from New York to Shanghai. It also presents the annual Glory to the Filmmaker Award.

IWC Schaffhausen cheap fake watches aremuch more than a luxury watchmaker. It is a social mover, dedicated to empowering children through the Laureus Sports for Good Foundation.
In February, the Swiss horologer focused on its philanthropy through the Laureus World Sports Awards, which celebrated both prominent athletes (Nico Rosberg, Usain Bolt and Simone Biles to name a few) and Laureus’ charitable projects.
Many VIP guests to the prize ceremony in Monaco, including Boris Becker, Serhij Bubka, Michael Johnson, Mika Häkkinen and Katarina Witt, stepped on the red carpet in trainers in support for the #sneakersforgood campaign. Bearing the celebrities’ signatures, the shoes are to be auctioned to raise funds for Laureus’ numerous youth projects throughout the world.
The event also saw Laureus ambassadors Nico Rosberg, Formula One world champion, the double Olympian champion cyclist Fabian Cancellara and the Ironman World Champion Jan Frodeno, among others, engage in a discussion on Laureus Sports for Good Foundation’s ongoing work with underprivileged youth. To foster awareness, the three athletes took part in a 30-kilometer (close to 20 miles) bike tour from Monaco to Ventimiglia.

Also pedaling for good were extreme cyclist Patrick Seabase, Nadine Rieder, Sofia Wiedenroth and Morgane Such of the AMG Rotwild Mountainbike Racing Team as well as influencers Jessica Kahawaty, IWC new Middle East ambassador, Nel-Olivia Waga and Linda Mutschlechner.
Meanwhile, Swiss cyclist Fabian Cancellara, Dutch footballer Ruud Gullit and Scottish track cyclist Sir Chris Hoy received their initiation into the Laureus World Sports Academy, which now numbers over 60 sports legends and do-gooders. To mark their welcome, IWC cheap replica watches UK CEO Christoph Grainger-Herr presented each with the novel Da Vinci Chronograph Edition “Laureus Sport for Good Foundation” watch.
The 1,500-limited edition IWC timepieces flaunt a blue dial and a special back engraving of the winning design from the IWC children’s drawing competition “Time Well Spent.” A percentage of the novel Laureus watch sales will flow toward the organization’s activities.

“We are proud to support this foundation,” said Grainger-Herr in a press statement, “it is a cooperation that allows us to bring about lasting changes in the lives of thousands of children and adolescents.”
“When in doubt, add tourbillon.” This might have been the mantra for many high-end watch brands since the dawn of the new millennium, and while the tourbillon trend is tired, it is far from being dead… a point proven by the latest pre-SIHH release coming in the shape of the new Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic Tourbillon Universal Time replica watches.
It was back in 2014 that we went hands-on with the first pieces from the re-launched Geophysic collection, a line of watches based on one of the numerous “sleeping beauties” (i.e., one of many discontinued vintage watch collections) of Jaeger-LeCoultre. Originally produced for a short time in 1958 and revived in 2014, the Geophysic has received a lot of love from the brand as we saw this vintage-inspired, classical-looking, elegant collection expand. The latest addition to it is called the Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic Tourbillon Universal Time and it is based on the Geophysic Universal Time.
This new Geophysic world timer is the first world time watch with a flying tourbillon (who knew there still were permutations of complications not yet exhausted by Swiss brands already?) and the third ever from Jaeger-LeCoultre to feature the manufacture’s Gyrolab balance-equipped tourbillon. Just like the Geophysics from the last few years, this piece also has some cool details hidden underneath its heavy platinum dress.
It’s a tough choice whether to start with the technical or the aesthetic details, but when we let our hearts decide… it’ll have to be the Gyrolab balance. I mean it has “gyro” and “lab” in its name, and that’s as nerdy as any major Swiss brand could possibly get!

The Gyrolab balance was developed for and debuted in the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Extreme LAB from 2007 (it is here where we’ll note that many of us in team aBlogtoWatch would love to see more pieces from this bold and high-tech range of( Jaeger-Lecoultre replica watches). This meant a strong start, but we were soon let down by the apparent omission of this JLC-logo-inspired new balance from pretty much all JLC watches made thereafter – mind you, though, the mind-alteringly awesome Reverso Gyrotourbillon of 2016 also had it. So, the Gyrolab disappeared as quickly as it came and remained tucked away safely in the manufacture all the way until 2015, when the production-made Geophysic True Second and Universal Time finally received this “new” feature.
Montblanc has been a known name when it comes to high-end pens for quite a while longer than it has been for luxury watches, but the brand doesn’t shy away from using their storied design DNA to give newer watch models a bit of “heritage.” With their latest introduction, the Montblanc Star Roman collection, they aim to have a broad appeal with three offerings.
The Montblanc Star Roman Small Second “Carpe Diem” Special Edition Fake Watches presents the simplest option, with a small seconds dial and date window. The Montblanc Star Roman Quantième Complet “Carpe Diem” Special Edition watch has a date hand, moon phase indicator, and day/month windows. Finally, the Montblanc Star Roman Chronograph UTC “Carpe Diem” Special Edition has a date window, chronograph, and, obviously, a 24-hour indicator.

As you might expect, the Montblanc Star Roman collection definitely has ties to the brand’s pens. Subtly, this appears on the case, which has the same set of three rings that you would find on their Meisterstück fountain pen. A little more obvious would be the resin insert in the onion crown, where that very identifiable Montblanc star makes its appearance. Across the collection, there are details that make it obvious the watches are related: along with the case and crown, the same silvery guilloche dial with red gold accents on the Roman numeral indices and the handset which are on all three watches. Unfortunately, no case back shots yet, but they all have exhibition case backs.
The Montblanc Star Roman Quantième Complet “Carpe Diem” Special Edition (ref. 113691), really wants to focus on helping you “seize the day,” as it were, by tracking every aspect of the time that passes by you. Given that Quantième Complet translates to “full calendar,” it’s no surprise to see the date (on the outer track, indicated by the red scalloped hand), day and month (up at the 12 o’clock position), and a moon phase indicator. All of this is tucked into a 42mm case (12mm thick) that houses a MB 29.12 automatic movement. It’s got a 42-hour power reserve and operates at 28,800vph. Oh, and like all the watches in this collection, water resistance is 30 meters.
The Montblanc Star Roman Chronograph UTC “Carpe Diem” Special Edition (ref. 113880), as you can infer from the name, brings a chronograph to the party, with the hour and minute registers coming in at 6 and 12 o’clock, respectively. You get the running seconds in the expected placement of 9 o’clock, with the date display at 3 o’clock balancing things out. The UTC portion of the name refers to my personal favorite in the world of complications, being the GMT. This takes the form of a red-tipped hand pointing at the outer edge of the dial, allowing you to track a second time zone easily enough. All of this is made possible by the MB 25.03 movement, tucked into the same 42mm case. This piece has a 46-hour power reserve that operates at 28,800vph.
Last, but certainly not least, we have my favorite of the three announced watches, the Montblanc Star Roman Small Second “Carpe Diem” Special Edition (ref. 113879). This is because, when it comes to dressier watches, I prefer simplicity, and the small running seconds keeps it from being a design that brings a yawn to my face. This is because, along with the small bit of kinetic activity, we actually have a shrunken version of the seconds hand – complete with the star logo balance that shows up on the other models. We also have a date display here, which gives the watch more utility than simply being a dress watch.

Unfortunately, the brand decided to just chop into the Roman numerals at 3, rather than just omitting that index. The biggest departure from the other two models is the case that, while it is visually identical to the other two watches, has been shrunk to 39mm, which is perhaps a bit more fitting of a size for a dress watch. The case houses the MB 24.16 automatic movement, which gets a 38-hour power reserve Montblanc fake watches while operating at 28,800vph.
