For the upcoming Baselworld 2013 event, the Swiss fake Hamilton watch has prepared a model that, while being extremely simple, has a really good chance of standing from the huge crowd of second-tier brands. Well, perhaps “admire” is a little too big a word to use for any of the calibers that animate the timekeeper. Both show very basic decoration featuring a skeletonized oscillating weight, polished screws and plain bridges. Considering the amount of attention the watch will inevitably get, the watchmaker should really have spent some more time (and money) decorating the ETA-sourced ebauches.
Taking the idea of a two-faced watch a trifle further than before, the former American manufacturer has prepared a watch that displays time, while allowing you to admire one of its two movements. Meet the Hamilton Jazzmaster Face2face.
Still, even despite the lack of refinement in the mechanical department, the oval-shaped body of best quality Hamilton Jazzmaster Face2facee watch replica looks almost flawless with its slightly oversized hors and signature bullet-shaped chronograph push-pieces. As you have probably already guessed, the stainless steel case hides a special pivoting system that allows the body to rotate around its axis in order to display either the calm silver face of the three-hander, or the daring blue-tinted dial of the chronograph.
Although Hamilton didn’t specify guaranteed power reserve time for any of the calibers, they should be good for at least 40 hours of total immobility after being fully wound. Both are well-known work horses. The three-hander is powered by the ETA 2671 movement, which is built on 25 jewels, and the other one is ticking thanks to the ETA 2094 chronograph movement that features 33 rubies.

Since each movement measures around an inch in diameter, the case is also quite large measuring 53 millimeters in width and 44 millimeters in height. The size of the mens replica Hamilton Jazzmaster Face2facee watch will probably make it only suitable for the guys with really big hands, but I guess there will be enough of them for the Swiss brand to easily sell all 888 individually numbered pieces that they plan to produce.
