Cricket legend Michael Clarke: Hublot is a game-changer “that is never scared to be different”

What’s the best way to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Hublot for the Australian arm of the brand? Through our national sport of cricket, of course. And that’s exactly what Hublot Australia have done, bringing together two Australian cricketing greats in Michael Clarke and Pat Cummins to mark the launch of the new Swiiss movement fake Hublot Classic Fusion 40 Years Anniversary collection.
The high quality fake Hublot Classic Fusion 40 Years Anniversary collection is a trio of new references inspired by the first-ever Hublot made back in 1980. Founder Carlo Crocco was behind the design of this original Hublot, which inspired Jean-Claude Biver and Ricardo Guadalupe to later coin the phrase “the art of fusion”, due to the watch’s solid yellow gold case being paired with a black rubber strap. This was a first for the watch industry and the start of a trend that dozens of brands have followed.


Michael Clarke, a former captain of the Australian Cricket Team, has been a replica Hublot ambassador since 2014, and believes this willingness to evolve and push boundaries has been critical to the brand’s success.
“This year has been incredibly challenging for everyone around the world, but thinking on your feet has been more important than ever and will have been really important for anyone who has succeeded this year,” said Clarke, a man known for his own fancy footwork at the crease. “I think Hublot does that brilliantly, and have managed to adapt to the situation very quickly.”
He went on to explain that, “by challenging the norms in watchmaking for the last 40 years, they have always been happy to adapt to succeed, and you can see that in the watches they have made”.
Clarke drew links between what he sees as the conservative attitudes of many watchmaking brands and the traditional values of international cricket. “The game is changing because it has to,” said Clarke. “If it didn’t, people might just stop watching it, and I think in that regard Hublot is a fantastic brand for the sport to be working with, because Hublot is an example of a business that is never scared to be different. Cricket is lucky to be involved with Hublot, not the other way around.”
The cheap copy Hublot has indeed been an enthusiastic sponsor of the sport, as official partners of the ICC Cricket World Cup since 2015. It might seem a little niche compared to typical watch-brand partnerships with sports like Formula 1 or the Olympics, but “one-and-a-half billion people are reported to have tuned into the 2015 Cricket World Cup, compared to, say, 102 million for the 2020 Super Bowl“.

In fact, Hublot’s support of cricket is another example of the brand’s refreshingly ballsy approach to marketing. Few other luxury watch brands, for example, would have got involved in soccer or boxing, preferring to stay in more conventionally aspirational sporting realms. But whether they’re emblazoning their name on Floyd Mayweather’s shorts or partnering with the FIFA Wold Cup, Hublot is happy to think outside the box

Clarke’s favourite piece to wear every day is the first Hublot he ever got – the luxury fake Hublot Big Bang Black Magic – a futuristic blend of ceramic and carbon fibre. “I can wear it to the gym and to dinner, it’s very versatile.”

It’s this adaptability that Clarke believes will see Hublot’s popularity in Australia continue to grow. “Hublot is a sporty brand, made to be worn outside and every day, and that’s why I think more and more Australians will love the brand as they discover it.”

INTRODUCING THE REPLICA TAG HEUER AQUARACER BAMFORD LIMITED EDITION IN TITANIUM

TAG Heuer replica is releasing a new Bamford Limited Edition within the Aquaracer family, and it may be the most OEM looking watch to sport the Bamford name yet. This watch represents the most mature take on the Aquaracer we’ve yet to see, at once showing reverence to its origins and pairing down some of the more superfluous elements that have taken hold within the family at large. There’s still a healthy dose of personality, however, adding up to what may be the most compelling TAG Heuer Aquaracer WAY208F.BF0638 fake for sale we’ve seen in recent memory.


Seeing the word Bamford on the dial of a watch may trigger some readers out there who bristle at the thought of clapped out Rolex and Audemars Piguet watches, but since joining forces with LVMH group watch brands his work has taken a turn toward more palatable collaborations done in house with brands like Zenith and TAG Heuer. Whether you love them or hate them, Bamford watches are clearly modified takes on factory designs. This limited edition TAG Heuer Aquaracer replica with black dial begins to blur those lines, and were it not for the name on the dial, this is a watch that we’d welcome right into a regular production slot within the Aquaracer family. I’d go so far as to say that if you’re not a fan of the Aquaracer, this watch might even bring you around to it.
The Bamford Aquaracer features a titanium case and bracelet that’s been sandblasted to a uniform texture throughout. The metal takes on a warm tone that plays well with the angular case of the Aquaracer. This execution pushes focus to the dial and the small pops of color found within. It also highlights some of the more intricate details found in the bezel and case, inviting a closer look than you’d otherwise expect from an Aquaracer. The case itself is 43mm in diameter, but thanks to shortened lugs it should wear reasonably well for its size. The grade 2 titanium means it will be hypoallergenic and corrosion resistant.

The dial features concentric circles emanating from the center that are recessed into the dial. Printed crosshairs split the dial into quadrants, with a date aperture at 3 o’clock, and branding at 12 and 6 o’clock. The hour makers are simple blocks of lume, doing away with the highly polished and beveled markers seen on other Aquaracer models. Minutes and seconds are marked in hashes between the hours, and at their outset are a track of orange markers laid out perpendicular to the hour markers. The markers run the width of every other second, and while they add a visual flair to the dial, I can’t imagine they serve any practical function. The tip of the seconds hand also features alternating white and orange sections, while the hour and minute hand are outlined in orange. The end result is a highly legible dial that reads straightforward, even with the embellishments.
The 43 mm Bamford TAG Heuer copy watch uses the TAG Heuer Calibre 5 automatic movement, which is based on the ETA 2824 (25 jewels). Its use makes the $3,900 price tag of the watch a bit of an eyebrow raiser, but there is value to be found elsewhere. The case and bracelet are titanium and provide an impressive 300m depth rating, and the production is limited to 1,500 examples.
