What is the original mold?

You probably use social media very frequently; Many friends on your account are from China, you added them just so you could buy a few luxury items at an affordable price; Some sell clothes, some shoes, some watches. When you look at their social media posts, you often see a Chinese word: original pattern. If you know a little Chinese, you can easily be fooled by this word. You may have heard a few different versions about the meaning of original pattern; The most common thing you hear is that it means "real" or "original". But I must tell you that the original mold is neither real nor original.

This word first appeared in the field of clothing, but now you can see many sellers using it on some watches. Before going into more detail, I would like to say this: original mold watches are not original watches. It is an original mold watch factory in our market. The watches they make are definitely replica watches, but of high quality. The original mold factory has a long history of more than ten years, and the replica watches produced by this factory necessarily use original Swiss movements; Yes, this is the real thing, real Swiss mechanism. About eight years ago, watch factories such as VS, V6, BP, KV were making replica watches with replica ETA movements, while the original mold factory had been offering replicas with Swiss movements for a long time. Now the original mold factory follows a different development path from popular manufacturers such as VS, ZF and Clean. The first one uses real Swiss movements, the others use copy movements or super clone movements they produce themselves. If we compare them, which one is better? Actually, if you care more about the mechanism, I recommend you the replicas of the original mold factory. However, this factory does not make all replicas, it only produces a small number of replica watches. The watches copied by the original mold factory are generally models that use Swiss movements as the base mechanism; For example, why do you see so many original molds from IWC and Tag Heuer? Because many IWC watches use Swiss ETA 2892 and ETA 7750 as the base movement, many Tag Heuer watches also use SW200 as the base movement. The original mold factory cannot copy watches that use brands' own independently developed mechanisms. For example, you cannot find an original Rolex Daytona with caliber 4130 or an original Rolex Datejust with caliber 3235.

Okay, so we talked a lot about the original pattern; I hope you understand and will not be deceived. In the watch field, this refers to a factory, and this factory does not produce original watches, but some replica watches with original Swiss movements.

Finally, I share two beautiful Tag Heuer watches made by the original mold.
