Don't really know what to say about this one. Like a cheap version of Odopod's brilliant creation.

I dont get what's the ripoff, the navigation?
By the way, lovely watches from IWC
- meh IWC used to do some really lovely watches, now they seem to have lost the plot in the pursuit of bling– hans_glib1/3

  I'm a big fan of the Portuguese & Portofino. They still make nice pieces.– non3/3

Im pretty sure there are more sites out there with:
- big picture at the top
- 3 smaller pictures underneath with descriptions for each one
- Navigate the site. Its a direct copy.– non

Artistic direction, animations, transitions, menu items, call-to-actions, hovers.
Really easy to spot.
- This. Lots of copying going on here. No it's not pixel for pixel the same, but it's clear to someone who understands interactive.– acrossthesea1/2

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around to see or hear it, does anyone care?

The client probably wanted IWC's site.

I like HYT's site better. IWC's is the rip.
- I prefer bad spacing/letterspacin... lineheight too and not to mention lack of originality that directly affects the way consumers see your brand.– non1/2

Wow. They even went so far as to create a 3-letter acronym for their brand name too! The level of thievery is outrageous!!

They have similarities, but a stretch to call a rip off.

Both are well done and similar, but they also look like thousand of "wordpress/newhtml/scrolldown/wh... that dominate the web lately.
You can easily find similars on those HTML5/CSS Awards websites

Even the grid "wants" to be the same.
I'm not talking about similarities. I'm taking about copying a COMBINATION of concept, layout, type, content placement, artistic direction, etc.
Not talking about the color scheme or the acronym, as d_rek would suggest.

I wanted to raise this issue because I feel compelled by it as a professional designer and watch enthusiast.
IMO, HYT made a really bad business move by either "wanting" something like IWC's website or simply not doing any research about their competitors.
To many, their website will look good, but to the people who actually pays ALOT to buy these types of watches, they will look like another cheap "premium brand" knock off.
