Have you ever wondered what it takes to recreate a masterpiece? The IP.Factory has set the bar high with their interpretation of the iconic Audemars Piguet 15400, featuring the CAL3120 movement. This isn’t just any replica; it’s a testament to craftsmanship and precision.
Let’s delve into the details that make this watch a standout. Firstly, the structure mirrors the original, being a three-piece set. Every inch of the case and its assembly pays homage to the authentic version. The bracelet, often overlooked, is actually the backbone. IP.Factory went as far as using the original strap mold to achieve that delicate brushed texture, ensuring it’s gentle on your wrist while matching the thickness and articulation of the original. Talk about commitment!
The bracelet connects seamlessly to the case, echoing the genuine floating buffer design for a snug fit on your wrist. The clasp? It opens and closes with the same finesse and engraving quality as the original, leaving no stone unturned.
Moving onto the dial, IP.Factory has left no room for error. The face’s craftsmanship and color are indistinguishable from the authentic, promising no noticeable differences when compared side-by-side.
Now, let’s talk movement. It’s not just any component; it’s the heart and soul of any watch. IP.Factory has perfectly mimicked the authentic 3120 movement. Unlike other replicas using the 9015 movement with a decorative plate, this one features a true integrated movement. The date jump is instantaneous and reversed, distinguishing it from the market’s standard mechanisms.
The hands are mounted on a solid axis, matching the original, with meticulous polishing for a flawless finish. Every cog on the movement’s back is functional, with the winding chain’s power gear in motion and the flat hairspring gear and barrel fully operational.
Positioned at 7 o’clock, the balance wheel and the 41-hour power reserve mirror the original. Even the shock absorber and intricacies like the non-clamping features are reenacted with precision. The rotor color—a commonly misjudged aspect—has been specifically adapted by IP.Factory to match the original golden hue, avoiding the overly red tint that others mistakenly adopt.
IP.Factory’s commitment to authenticity is unwavering, ensuring that every detail aligns with the original Audemars Piguet masterpiece. It’s not just a watch; it’s an experience of owning something as close to the real deal as it gets.
