Reign
Although Arnold and Roger may or may not prefer the flattery of
imitation, Reign’s emulations will set you back less than $1,000 on
Amazon - while the more upscale design drivers will set you back at
least five figures, sometimes six!
Reign’s Belfour comes in at 44mm and boasts three triangular
bridges as the main design effect over an engraved automatic
mechanical (Chinese origin) movement with several variations of
case and accent colors offering variations on the theme.
Xavier is the poor man’s option to the Dubuis Excalibur series.
Playing on the star-shaped bridges, Xavier replicates a look brings a
modern look to the mechanical watch. Also powered by a Chinese
movement, the Xavier is a wearable size at 43 mm and like the
Belfour, is water resistant to 5atm. www.reignwatches.com
