Replica Watches

A fake or replica watch is a copy of an authentic timepiece bearing the name of a prestigious brand. Today fake watch business has spread worldwide. Replica watches are sold through on-line shops, at tourist resorts, trade centers and local jewelry shops.

Some watch producers organize special departments to fight fake watch business in an attempt to protect their rights according to the law of property. A fake watch business delivers significant profits. It is estimated that one dollar invested in the business brings about a ten-dollar return.

The BaselWorld show annually attracts paparazzi from China who make photos of new watch models presented by prestigious brands. As a result, a fake version of a novelty watch is sometimes launched into the market even faster than an authentic timepiece.

A lot of fake watches come from China, but there are also cases of replicas produced elsewhere, such as the USA. In October, 2006 the police arrested a woman in Florida who held a fake watch business that brought about $ 8 million retail value.
