For young high quality cheap watches lovers, this is a younger and more financially appealing Casablanca.

We're not surprised if the name “Casablanca” reminds you of the heartbreaking “We'll always have Paris” line from Humphrey Bogart's farewell to Ingrid Bergman in the iconic 1942 film. Or, if you're a well-heeled traveler familiar with exotic locales, this charming Moroccan port city is known for its diverse architecture and culinary treasures.

However, if you're a watch lover, the name “Casablanca” will inadvertently remind you of Franck Muller's eponymous collection of exquisite tonneau-shaped dress watches. Legend has it that the brand's eponymous founder himself was inspired by the movie Casablanca when creating the watch collection. Patek Philippe replica watches

The Casablanca watch features sensual lines that accentuate the curves and volume of the traditional tonneau case, an aesthetic that Franck Muller has trademarked as the “Cintree Curvex” (French for “arched curve”), and a dial that features large Art Deco-style Arabic numerals that fan out from the center. In fact, this look and style would become synonymous with Franck Muller. More precisely, the Casablanca collection was both a nod to vintage style and a unique, modern dress watch that was extremely popular and sold a significant number of watches in its heyday.

Although the Casablanca collection has never been discontinued, it has gradually declined in status in recent years, being overshadowed by the brand's other products; especially the Vanguard collection, which was launched in 2015 and dominated the new releases. This year, however, Franck Muller decided to merge the two collections together to launch the Vanguard Casablanca. If comparisons to the silver screen are to be made – after all, the collection has “Casablanca” in its name – these watches are like a Baz Luhrmann-esque remake of the original, loud and colorful. replica Richard Mille Rafael Nadal

Watch enthusiasts who know the Vanguard collection will be familiar with the watches' hefty cases (a bit like a gym version of the Cintree Curvex), the colorful, eye-catching dials, and the thick, sturdy straps that capture the spirit of sport and movement. Just as iconic Franck Muller products such as the Crazy Hours and Revolution 3 Tourbillon have been given the Vanguard treatment to look party-ready, the Vanguard Casablanca has been reborn as a strap collection that looks years younger than the original.

Available in two sizes, 41mm and 43mm, the Vanguard Casablanca replica mens watches makes its presence felt. The tonneau-shaped silhouette has been significantly enhanced, and in place of the Art Deco dial and classic spear hands of the original Casablanca, there are bold, stretched printed indices with a unique font (also in Art Deco style), skeletonized hands, and surrounded by the Vanguard collection's minute track with a compass point on the inner ring.

The luxury of the collection is stunning, to say the least. The watches are available in steel automatic three-hand and chronograph models, with a choice of black dial with Super-LumiNova markers, brown dial with chocolate numerals, and salmon dial with Super-LumiNova markers. Each model exudes a unique appeal, while together they express the sporty-luxe DNA of the collection. There are also boutique versions of the steel three-hand and chronograph models, with black dials and blue numerals, which we think are the coolest models in the collection. replica watches on sale

The sporty style of the Vanguard Casablanca is a stark departure from the passionate yet sophisticated elegance of the original Casablanca. Franck Muller is not exaggerating when he calls it a “21st century” collection. Furthermore, a brand spokesperson revealed that the Vanguard Casablanca is designed to attract the attention of young watch lovers.

The robust looks, colorful colors and, most importantly, the starting prices of S$12,300 for the three-hand model and S$21,300 for the chronograph model make these two watches an entry-level product for Franck Muller. Granted, this is still a pretty high bar for young executives. But as an entry-level series of products in the brand, the Vanguard Casablanca offers a tempting and interesting option.
