In Swiss made replica watches, as in life, finding the right partner can be hard. For most elite watchmaking houses, the celebrity ambassador is as de rigueur as the balance wheel. Those ambassadors can serve a number of purposes—chief among them creating some hype–and no hype-machine is as complicated or potentially awful as the “collaboration watch.” The trap, of course, exists in the fact that celebrities are not watch designers, and in some cases a celebrity’s taste may not be in perfect alignment with the brand’s tenets, or their taste may just be, well, not that great. There have been a few clunkers along the way, to be sure.
Presumably, the collaboration fake watches for sale actually brings the star in question into the design process—or so we are told. The extent of the star’s involvement is never fully detailed, and the occasional interview and/or testimony on the collaboration process typically serves as the only documentation of what was involved. Some, like John Mayer, are clearly watch-crazy and have obviously had a strong hand in the design, but others remain a bit more mysterious. Artists and architects are obvious bedfellows, but many singers, actors, and athletes have added their two cents to the world of haute horology. Here we’ve rounded up the most notable celebrity watch collaborations.
John Mayer X Replica Audemars Piguet Limited-Edition Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Watches
While Mayer is perhaps the celebrity most associated with modern watch collecting, it still came as a bit of a surprise when his UK perfect fake Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar watches was released early this year. AP is no stranger to celebrity collaborations – real (Travis Scott) or fictional (Spiderman) but the Mayer piece was a meeting of horological heavyweights. The copy watches wholesale itself is the last to house the caliber 5134, and for those who only want to focus on its good looks, it features a stunning “crystal sky” deep blue dial. We liked this one enough to add it to our Best Sports Watches of 2024 list.
Jimmy Chin X Fake Panerai Submersible Chrono Flyback Limited Editions Watches
For pro-climber and documentary filmmaker Jimmy Chin, no ordinary watch collaboration would do. Chin had been a long-time friend of Panerai by the time the Italian brand released two limited editions: The Panerai Submersible Chrono Flyback – J. Chin Edition and Panerai Submersible Chrono Flyback – J. Chin Xperience Edition. The latter of the two luxury replica watches was limited to 14 and included the opportunity to join Chin in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. (In fact, Robb Report’s very brave Paige Reddinger found herself scaling the Grant Tetons with Chin a few years ago.) Both top super clone watches were made of titanium and clocked in at 47mm, the Xperience edition was DLC coated with white SuperLuminova, and is everything a tough Panerai should be.
Rory Mcilroy X Omega Replica Watches
Kind of surprising it took us this long to get to golf, but we finally made it with Rory McIlroy, the four-time major championship golfer from Northern Ireland. McIlroy not only has a Speedmaster celebrating his achievements, but back in 2019 he actually had a hand in designing Swiss movements fake Omega watches. The Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M Ultra Light was crafted out of the newly developed Gamma Titanium to reduce the weight of the watch down to 55 grams, and a hidden telescopic crown that in turn helps a golf swing by not digging into the wrist.
IWC Portugieser Tourbillon Rétrograde Chronograph Lewis Hamilton Fake Watches
At this point Hamilton is almost synonymous with IWC, and for good reason. The F1 star has been a brand ambassador since 2013 and has worked on not one but three 2024 replica watches for men in his time; 2014’s Ingenieur Chronograph Edition Lewis Hamilton, 2019’s Big Pilot Perpetual Calendar, and last year’s teal Portugieser Tourbillon Retrograde Chronograph. It’s interesting to see Hamilton’s influence on the brand and the shift in style across the three models over time.
