The Whisky Replica Watch! We’ve seen it before, replica watches with a droplet of special liquids. Armin Strom for instance has created a special replica watch with an amazingly old cognac. They made it in cooperation with Wealth solutions, a Polish company. They specialise in providing luxury goods, works of art and financial products for demanding customers. Once again they sourced a unique and very, very old bottle of Scotch. Droplets of the contents are used for a new line of replica watches that have been made in cooperation with Louis Moinet. These replica watches have been presented last weekend during the Singapore Yacht Show.

Louis Moinet Whisky Replica Watch in Gold
On 8th April 2017, during The Singapore Yacht Show 2017, Louis Moinet and Wealth Solutions presented in the partnership with B28 Whisky Fund a limited edition of wristwatches with a drop of the oldest whisky in the world – Old Vatted Glenlivet 1862. The creation of the Whisky Replica Watch was possible thanks to the cooperation between Wealth Solutions and Louis Moinet. Wealth Solutions is an expert in building up collections of rare alcoholic beverages, works of art, and replica watches. The company is also the originator of the Spirit Replica Watches line, i.e. extraordinary replica watches with drops of unique alcoholic beverages inside.

So far, it has released the Cognac Replica Watch (a replica watch with a drop of the oldest cognac in the world – Gautier 1762) and the Rum Replica Watch (a replica watch with a drop of the oldest rum in the world – Harewood 1780). Wealth Solutions has decided to continue the production of this extraordinary line and create the Whisky Replica Watch. The Company has invited the cooperation of Louis Moinet, inventor of the chronograph in 1816, which is well known for the creation of high-end timepieces, often featuring exotic materials and an innovative technology, underpinned by the philosophy of limited-edition mechanical art.
