SpeedUp omega seamaster For iOS And Android Phones
Whether you like it or not, omega seamaster replica are not going away - especially with debut of the Apple Watch. Sooner or later there is going to be a smartwatch that you will want to own and wear. You might even find them indispensable. Right now, smart watches, along with fitness activity trackers and other forms of wearable technology, are the hottest items in the world of technology. Unfortunately, smartwatches have thus far proved to be limited in their uses. The rolex Day Date replica is arguably the most popular smartwatch right now, but without a phone, it has little standalone functions. Plus, it has a decidedly basic and primitive E Ink display. Still, there are other alternatives such as Samsung's Galaxy Gear 2, Galaxy Fit, and other Gear smartwatches. These have built-in pedometer and heart rate monitoring functions, but they are only compatible with select Samsung devices. Enter the SpeedUp http://www.modserap.com/omega-speedmaster-replica-australia-for-sale.html. Now, while it may not be the first iOS and Android compatible smart watch, SpeedUp claims that it is in fact the first iOS and Android compatible smart watch to boast a full color multi-touch LCD display. It was first seen earlier this year at the Mobile World Congress 2014 in Barcelona, Spain. The multi-touch LCD is protected by tempered glass, measures 1.54-inches across, and has a display resolution of 240 x 240 pixels. Underneath, it is powered by a 1GHz single-core low-power CPU by Imagination Technologies. It features 4GB of internal storage, 512MB of RAM, and offers Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity. It also runs Android 4.4 KitKat. Unfortunately, because of its full-color display and the fact that it runs Android OS, battery life does suffer somewhat and the SpeedUp SmartWatch has a claimed battery life of just under a day at 20 hours. Depending on your usage, the watch might or might not make it through a day. In terms of functionality, the SpeedUp SmartWatch connects via Bluetooth 4.0 to your iOS or Android smartphone and can receive call, text, reminder, and email notifications. You can also access your contacts, check your calendar, control your music, and for those who are absent-minded, the SpeedUp SmartWatch even has a nifty "Find My Phone" function. Users can also customize the watch face to suit their moods. Fortunately, unlike most other smart watches in the market right now, the SpeedUp SmartWatch does have a couple of useful standalone functions. It has an integrated pedometer, so it can keep track of the number of steps you have taken, distance covered, and calories burned. Furthermore, it can analyze the quality of your sleep too and show users how long they have slept and how much of it was "deep sleep", for instance. The SpeedUp SmartWatch also has a IP57 rating, which means it it dust resistant and slightly water resistant. IP57 specifically means being water resistant to a depth of just one meter, so we would advise against taking this swimming.The watch is available now from SpeedUp and the best thing about it is that it only costs about $130, which, when you consider its features, makes it more bang for buck than just about any other smartwatch out there.

The chanel j12 WINNER REVIEW Maurice Lacroix Pontos S Diver
A small complaint about the bracelet is that it does not have push buttons to release it. I prefer the push buttons, I once made a replica chanel j12 fan extremely upset when I made the same comment about a previous watch that I owned. To each his own. Regardless, it is not a deal-breaker, and it seems to be getting easier to release with time. The upside is that it creates a much cleaner looking clasp, and allows for the hidden micro adjust holes. The clasp does have a safety latch engraved with the Maurice Lacriox name. Most of my friends and family who have seen the watch seem to prefer the bracelet, but I think that it also looks great on the leather strap. It matches the vintage vibe of the watch, and is quite comfortable. It's also a good way to dress down the watch a bit. I also like how the keepers are leather, rather than the metal that you see on most NATOS. The contrasting stitching is a also great touch. The leather is a bit difficult to tuck into the keeper, but I imagine that it will become easier as it breaks in.The replica chanel watches has a sapphire crystal which appears to have AR coating on both sides. The crystal has a noticeable dome to it, and is raised above the edges of the case (possibly to allow fitment of the internal bezel). Despite the dome, it offers great legibility from any angle. I've always been nervous about chipping or cracking unprotected crystals that stick out above the case with a careless arm movement. That being said, but I have never actually damaged one before (knock on wood), and the shape of this crystal really stands out, matching the style of the watch perfectly.The dial has a typical matte black finish. The Logo as well as hour markers are applied polished metal. It has printed hash marks for the minutes, and has very minimal text compared to some divers. I greatly prefer this, and feel that it matches the classic, vintage style of this watch. The hands are very attractive and are well-proportioned with the minute and second hand reaching to the edge of the dial. Red tips to these hands add a splash of color, and help the wearer to quickly differentiate the minute hand at a quick glance.Normally I hate black dials with white date displays, but the location at 6 o'clock rather than the typical 3 or 4 gives it symmetry, and it does not stick out badly. A unique font was chosen for the date, which adds a classy touch. One minor complaint that I have is that the lume area on the main hands is fairly thin, and the seconds hand has no lume at all. I feel that a watch serious enough to include a helium release valve and a bracelet extension, should have hands that are also equipped for diving. That being said, I don't plan to dive with it, and wider hands would spoil the great aesthetics of this watch during daylight hours. The lume that is there (including the bezel) seems to be superluminova, and it is quite bright and long lasting. My understanding is that the movement is a Sellita (ETA clone) typical of this price range. I have not opened the case, so I can't comment on the finishing. The watch has kept time within a few seconds per day, and has performed flawlessly during its tenure with me thus far. The winding action is very smooth, as is the motion of the second hand.This watch is a great addition to my collection. If I had paid for it, I feel that the level of finishing and extra details are appropriate for a watch in this price range. A level of value is offered above that of others costing this much.
rolex Day Date 48mm Watch Hands-On
The newest http://www.modserap.com/rolex-day-date-replica-australia-for-sale.html models are new GMT versions that sport quite beefy 48mm wide cases and also new 46mm wide Navitimer models - aBlogtoWatch debuted the 2014 Navitimer GMT watches here. Breitling makes watches for guys who like big watches. That might just be a good slogan for the brand moving forward. In fact, among the mainstream luxury brands, Breliting is among the few that routinely make watches that I actually find too large for my wrists - and I am a guy who likes large watches. It means bigger guys who like to show-off have ample choice within the Breitling product catalog. So with that said, let's take a look at the new omega Speedmaster replica and see if your wrist can brave it. To be fair, the omega seamaster replica isn't that much larger than other Navitimer models (though you can get Breitiling Navimtimer collection pieces as small as 40mm wide, I believe). The Breitling Navitimer 01 (hands-on aBlogtoWatch review here) is 46mm wide. Both of these watches contain in-house made Breitling mechanical chronograph movements. While the three-hand version contains the caliber 01 movements, the new Breitling Navitimer GMT contains Breitling caliber 04 - which simply adds a GMT hand for a 24 hour time or a second time zone to the other features such as 12 hour chronograph. The movement operates at 4Hz and has a power reserve of about 70 hours. I actually don't know why Breitling decided to increase the GMT's size 2mm more than the standard chronograph movement-based Navitimer 01. Actually, I have some pretty good ideas why though. Watch brands sometimes do this in order to create additional differentiating factors between their watches so that, for the consumer, the choice isn't just "GMT hand or not." I don't think there was an outcry from Breitling consumers that 48mm wide Navitimer options were needed. It does help offer additional flavor though, if you are the type of person keen on the Navitimer family - one of Breitling's oldest collections that started in the 1950s. Furthermore, this isn't the only available Breitling Navitimer with a GMT hand. In addition to the 48mm wide GMT Breitling also produces the rather less expensive Navitimer World which comes in a 46mm wide case and has a chronograph/GMT complication. The difference is that the Navitimer World does not have an in-house made movement. It's Swiss ETA Valjoux 7750-based movement that has a different chronograph layout. Admittedly, the "tri-compax" layout of the Breitling caliber 04 movement is slightly more attractive. More so, the caliber 04 equipped models have a sapphire crystal window display caseback - which is still something uncommon for Breitling watches. What makes a Navitimer a "Navitimer" is the rotating slide-rule bezel. This retro calculator gives the (skilled) pilot wearer the ability to make a series of calculations, assuming all the instruments in his or her aircraft are down, and he or she is still able to fiddle with a watch during emergency flight. I've heard mixed things from various pilots about whether or not use of a slide-rule is still taught in pilot school. At least a few military pilots claim that it is.
Scion of the times omega seamaster
For Aron Harilela, joining the family business was only a matter of time. "omega seamaster replica, I knew I would be in the hotel industry," says the 40-year-old director of Harilela Hotels, which manages properties across Asia, Europe, the United States and Canada. "I remember when we built our first hotel. I was four years old when it opened. My father [Hari] walked through it time and again, as a construction site, understanding the menus, understanding the operational side, the financial side. I grew up completely engrossed in this culture." Even as a university student in England, Cartier Roadster replica would take summer jobs in hotels to understand the business, from the restaurants to room service. "One time my parents were quite shocked that I was serving them breakfast in London," he recalls.After graduating with a bachelor's degree in law and politics, and a PhD in political philosophy, http://www.modserap.com/omega-speedmaster-replica-australia-for-sale.html the company's London office in 1994. Two years later, he made his first hotel acquisition, the Sheraton Belgravia in London. Since returning to Hong Kong in 1996, Harilela has taken over his family's hotel operations in Southeast Asia and Europe, become head of acquisitions for the Harilela Group and joined several leading civic, business and university committees. The avid sportsman, who is also getting married next month, admits it's difficult to find time for everything he needs and wants to do. "Managing time has become a much more complicated issue. Now, we have phones that follow us, we have BlackBerrys that show us e-mails all the time. Everything seems to be marked urgent," he says. Harilela spends at least two weeks of the month travelling among the group's properties. He also tries to travel once a month to play polo - "it's an obsession" - and fit in regular time on the tennis court.The secret to his success has been efficiency. "I'm extremely quick," he says. "I don't really just sit there and think. I fit quite a few things in the day. If you give me nothing to do, I'm miserable. I always end up finding something to do."The only time he truly shuts off is in the air or on the polo field. "The one thing my dad taught me about time management is that once you get on a plane, you just switch off. I read my book, I'll watch a movie, I'll have a few glasses of wine," he says. Back on solid ground, Harilela remains focused on getting the most out of his life. "It is always the present. You have to take hold of it. One shouldn't let time slip away and 20 years later realise that everything and everyone is gone.""This was the first watch I ever bought for myself. I found it at a vintage market in London. I love the design and I particularly like old Rolexes.""This was a present from [my fiancee] Laura for my 40th birthday. It's very elegant." Portuguese Minute Repeater "This is one of my favourite watches. I just love the way it looks. You can wear it for formal events or with jeans and loafers. And it just feels great on your wrist."
Alarms sound again tag heuer Aquaracer
Alarm clocks have been around for as long as mechanical timepieces, but it was only in 1908 that the alarm function began to be produced in wristwatches.Their popularity sounded all the way into the 1970s but dwindled with the advent of the digital watch.http://www.syrauto.com/tag-heuer-formula-1-replica-uk.html, vice-president of sales for Glashutte Original, says it is the impressive mechanics behind alarm watches that makes them interesting. "You can be reminded by your mailing programme or other calendar functions on your computer, but this is all done by electronics," he says. The Senator Diary may certainly fascinate enthusiasts. The tag heuer Aquaracer replica watch is the only one able to set an alarm 30 days ahead of time and beyond the end of the month, with the function operated by a pusher and crown.A new version of the Senator Diary contains the same movement but changes are made to the case, which is white gold with a ruthenium galvanised dial and a diary alarm aperture framed by a silver ring. tag heuer Monaco replica has created more than 200 repeater calibres since 1870 - a record for chime watches. Its first actual alarm watch was the Memovox, which debuted in 1950 and was followed by the Memovox Deep Sea, nine years later.The Deep Sea model was the manufacturer's first diver's watch and the world's first with an alarm that signalled to divers when it was time to begin their ascent. This year Jaeger-LeCoultre issues a re-edition of the watch, fittingly called the Memovox Tribute to Deep Sea. Its main differences include a new, larger, contemporary stainless steel case. The European version comes with a matt black dial and luminescent hour markers and its US counterpart has a two-tone black/grey dial and an external ring with a five-minute graduation scale.Jaeger-LeCoultre's Memovox Calibre 956 includes hours, minutes and central seconds as well as the alarm feature. "The purity and clarity of the sound of the alarm is important for a real connoisseur," says Jaeger-LeCoultre's managing director for North Asia, Julien Renard. Zenith began making alarm pocket watches at the beginning of the 20th century and produced alarm clocks until the 1960s, when their popularity began to decline.Zenith revisited the alarm clock and this year launched the El Primero Class Traveller Multicity Alarm. As its name suggests, the watch has a multiple time zone function but also has a 12-hour alarm with a power reserve indicator for the alarm system. It's the watchmaker's first El Primero chronograph watch with an alarm. Blancpain enriches its Villeret collection by combining a calendar and alarm function. The Villeret Annual Calendar GMT is the watchmaker's first annual calendar and GMT combination. The watch requires just one date adjustment per year and the GMT function is linked to the date via the central hour hand. A small 24-hour hand in a sub-dial acts as a reference time. The watch is powered by a new 6054F calibre developed by the Blancpain research team. http://www.presbycor.ru/node/70675http://watchesukchm.pixnet.net/blog/post/257671972
Watchmaker feels blue Chanel
Tudor's engineers and designers believe that this year, blue is the new black in haute horology. As a remake of its iconic Monte Carlo Chronograph, Tudor launched the http://www.qualitywatchesbuy.com/. Since it first debuted in 1973, the Monte Carlo Chronograph has been produced in several versions, all keeping its distinctive shades of blue, grey and orange. Heritage Chrono Blue also has retained the royal blue colour, combined with a slightly lighter grey than that of the original, and a touch of orange on the strap. The redesigned dial has three-dimensional hour markers with two bevelled metallic edges. Two counters are inside the two blue trapezoidal shapes at three and nine o'clock, for a small seconds hand and Tudor's signature 45-minute counter, respectively. The http://www.qualitywatchesbuy.com/top-replica-chanel-j12-watches.html watch is available in two styles of bracelets: one in steel with a folding clasp, and the other in reinforced fabric with a buckle that echoes the colours of the dial. Joining the same line is the http://www.qualitywatchesbuy.com/top-replica-chanel-j12-chromatic-watches.html. First presented in 2011, the Advisor is a revamp of Tudor's emblematic 1957 alarm watch. Featuring a two-tone dial in shades of velvety black, the timepiece conserves the original shape and proportions of the middle case, lugs, bezel, the familiar Dauphine hands and bevelled hour markers, on top of the distinctive red alarm hand. Its movement is equipped with a mechanical alarm clock module with a crisp, clear sound developed by the watchmaker. The alarm function can be activated by a push button, with an on/off display set at nine o'clock on the dial. The watch is fitted with either a vintage-size, satin-finished three-piece-link steel bracelet, or an alligator-leather strap with a folding clasp and safety catch. It also comes with an additional black fabric strap decorated with raised rows of interwoven satin. Tudor also decided to embrace new materials, such as ceramic, and so the Fastrider Black Shield came to be. Its case comes in hi-tech black matte ceramic, contrasted by fiery red indexes on the dial. The masculine cut and colour reflects the Diavel Carbon motorcycle that Tudor customised in collaboration with Ducati to accompany the debut of the watch. This chronograph is available with either a rubber strap or a leather strap with red stitching. It also comes in a version with a bronze tint on the hands and hour markers. The Glamour line, which ranges in size from 31mm to 42mm, adds its smallest option yet with the Glamour Date 26mm. The timepiece comes in steel or a gold and steel combined version, with matching bracelets and folding clasps. http://www.accaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=183585#183585http://www.mycharitypage.com/watchesukchm/blog/4580297/
My First seamaster Watch Xavier Nolot of Omega
Welcome back to an original omega seamaster replica feature, "My First seamaster Watch." In this series, we ask prominent people in the watch industry about the first timepiece that they lusted after. Today, we're speaking with Xavier Nolot, the CEO Omega North America. For his First seamaster, he went back to very beginning, calling out a lowly Cartier Roadster replica watch as his first. You have to realize that what the engraver is doing in the video is really hard. They make it look easy, but they have been doing it for years. Most of their tools they even make themselves. Applying the right amount of pressure, being able to articulate shapes, and not making mistakes takes years of training. I actually tried doing this myself under a microscope in Germany, it is not easy to get anything that doesn't look like a bunch of random scratches. In the video the engraver at http://www.modserap.com/omega-speedmaster-replica-australia-for-sale.html designs a rope motif which makes the exposed parts of the movement plate, rotor, and bridges look like threaded rope. The engraving process on a watch like the Jules Audemars Equation of Time Skeletonized can take weeks if not months. The same engraver does a lot of the work and must do everything carefully. All the effort does pay off in the end, and the decorated "competition" quality movements look phenomenal. So again, why all the work? Because that is really part of luxury. Your expensive watch has been lovingly decorated by masters in their field using time honored techniques without a hint of robotic programming or synthetic style. It is all by hand, and it is all by professionals. It is important to see them in action as just viewing the final result doesn't tell you the entire story. Both AP and Hublot are pushing to see more consumer eyes focus on their brands. The goal for each is as much attention as possible in the American market. The US has long been a perplexing place for watch brands to set a major foothold in, but both Omega and Hublot have done admirable jobs of gaining high levels of awareness and customer adoption here in the US. The outcome of these mutual efforts is to have high-end Swiss brands become an increasingly large part of people's focus in the US - a region that for the last few decades has had less awareness of high-end watch brands than many other parts of the world. While the fight is likely frustrating and intense for people within the brands, I think the consumer wins in the end. It is exciting to hear about each new partnership. As they connect themselves with more high-profile people, places, and events - they get additional people aware of the brands and will also continue to make increasingly interesting watches. When it comes down to it, I still think that watches sell watches, and people will buy watch appeals to their tastes and budget the most. http://talkurlife.com/index.php?do=/blog/11190/omega-replica-watches-for-2013/http://samusicawards.co.za/profiles/blogs/omega-replica-watches-for-2013http://eversmartapp.com/forums/topic/omega-replica-watches-for-2013/http://www.connectube.com/blogs/1645/33937/omega-seamaster-aqua-terra-watch
Cartier Santos 100 96B132 Watch Review
The growing range of http://www.modserap.com/cartier-roadster-replica-australia-for-sale.html watches from Cartier contains both formal and sporty watches. Each have a very unique character to them. This Champlain model comes in a rather comfy but large 46.5mm wide case, here done in titanium. There are steel models available as well, and ones in black colored cases. This model is marked by a multi-layered carbon fiber dial with nice blue seconds hand. I like the logo at the end of the seconds hand which is both a "double P" for "omega Speedmaster replica" as well as an infinity loop symbol. The case is rather well engineered but mass produced. The round dial is matched with an angular look for the case and I like the large hexagonal screws on the corners. the bezel looks like a rotating bezel but sadly is not. The crown design and texture is a nice detail. omega seamaster replica opted for a curved crystal that I believe is coated mineral glass, for these watches. The curvature is nice but offers some visual distortion making it look a bit like you are seeing the dial inside of a bubble. The modern dial design combines relatively good legibility with all sort of little details, textures, and things to look at. The hands are lume covered and big enough to see without too much distraction. There is an open date window that uses a black disc. The color is good, but I am never a fan of open "extended" date windows. There are four screws on the dial to match the look of those on the case, and the carbon fiber is deep feeling. For me the prominent hour markers and hands make it enough to appreciate. While it lacks a European sense of design refinement (as is the case with most Japanese analog watches - but not all), it is enough given the theme and technology. The case is actually pretty sporty with 300 meters of water resistance and a relatively light weight given the size. The straps on Santos 100 watches seem to be a source of contention. While the quality is fine, many people seem to think they have a better idea of what matches the design of the watch. On this model Cartier opted for a Cordura fabric strap that sort of visually matches the carbon fiber on the dial. The black textile strap is actually OK in my opinion, but you could easily swap it out with another 24mm wide strap to give it a more personalized look. Other Champlain models come on steel metal bracelets. While the designs of Cartier Santos 100 models range from funky to novel, the technology used in them is outstanding in my opinion. Cartier Santos 100 watches retail prices go up to over $850, but the street prices of most are from about $250 - $500. This model 96B132 retails for $599, but is just under $450 at WatchCo.com. Even if Cartier Santos 100 models aren't right for you right now, you should know about the technology and keep an eye on the range as I think they are a great addition to any collection. http://www.besnur.com/member/blog_post_view.php?postId=10294http://portal-car.ru/cartier-santos-100-w20131y1-replica-watch-review.htmlhttp://www.besnur.com/member/blog_post_view.php?postId=10295http://rocketboy.blogdoon.com/?post=150
Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Watch Hands-On
Automatic movements can be damaged by the automatic rotor moving out of place if the entire movement is subject to severe shock - such as a fall. By locking the automatic movement, you of course prevent the watch from self-winding, but you also protect the movement from types of serious shock. omega seamaster replica claims that with the Amortiser system engaged (which the user must do manually) the watch can survive a fall from 5.2 meters (in their tests). That is sort of a big deal. In order to lock the rotor, you must first take the watch off your wrist, and then go to the caseback of the watch and literally turn the inner part of the caseback from the "Off" to "On" position. The brilliant part about having a power reserve indicator on the dial is that if you choose to have the omega Speedmaster replica engaged for a long time, you can a least know the power left on the movement so that you can manually wind it if necessary. So for that reason, the Amortiser works really well with a power reserve indicator, because with it engaged, an automatic watch is turned temporarily into a manually wound watch. It is thus impressive that even with this moving caseback part, the http://www.modserap.com/cartier-roadster-replica-australia-for-sale.html has 200 meters of water resistance. It also has shock resistance of up to 7,500 Gs and 4,800 A/m of anti-magnetic resistance. The bracelet on the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra is very well made, and there are small micro-extensions on each end which come in handy. Inside the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra is the Omega caliber RR1201, which is a base Swiss Sellita or ETA mechanical movement with, of course, some modifications by Omega. For me, the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra is a great assortment of features and design cues that feel very satisfying together, if you are looking for a high-quality and useful men's sports watch (that also happens to be rather attractive). Even so, Omega will only produce the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra as a limited edition of 500 pieces. It goes without saying that all Omega Speedmaster watches will feature tritium gas tube illumination. Most of the tubes will glow orange with a single blue tube at 12 o'clock. Orange is said to be a signature color Speedmaster - especially on their instrument panels, so the watches try to use this when possible. Last, another interesting feature will be part of the Omega Speedmaster watch collection. This feature showed up on a Omega watch last year, and is called the "Amortiser." It allows you to press and screw down the caseback of a watch to lock the automatic rotor into place. This is meant to be used when the wearer expects the watch to endure shock or trauma to help protect the movement. The wearer must then disengage the Amortiser for the watch to continue automatically winding. http://rocketboy.blogdoon.com/?post=149http://watchesukchm.inube.com/blog/4203791/live-video-of-the-omega-seamaster-aqua-terra/http://watchesukchm.clozone.com/blog/47407.htmlhttp://mybestbuddie.com/profiles/blogs/live-video-of-the-omega-seamaster-aqua-terra
Tag Heuer Formula 1 Limited Edition
The humbly, yet implicatively titled Aviation collection possibly is the most widely recognized range of watches from Tag Heuer http://www.syrauto.com/tag-heuer-monaco-replica-uk.html. With its debut in 2005 it not only helped to bring the brand to a much wider audience, but also to ultimately make watches inspired by aviation and instruments a more important trend in the watch world. The Aquaracer line of watches are part of the Aviation collection and today we are looking at a new and very limited piece called the Formula 1, sold exclusively by The tag heuer Formula 1 replica. The model in question is an alternative version of the also new tag heuer Aquaracer replica, which is not to be confused with the other model called "Aquaracer Titanium" (the one that actually has a dial where there's carbon fiber material visible). What the Aquaracer Carbon offers instead is a carbon dial in solid black, a 42 millimeter stainless steel case with black PVD coating to increase the stealthy nature of the watch, and also the dial now proudly states Aquaracer just below the Tag Heuer logo at the 3 o'clock position. What makes this particular piece a limited edition is the fact that only 50 numbered pieces will be made and that the three colored parts are painted to the "The Watch Gallery blue" instead of orange. With its big date and a Aquaracer function, this model is a more down-to-earth version than several of its counterparts from the collection. While, the three splashes of blue add some vibrance to the otherwise rather formal black and white looks. Despite the added features, legibility should remain splendid even in low-light conditions, thanks to the large luminescent hands and block indexes. The watch is powered by the automatic Soprod TT651, it is water resistant to 100 meters and will come with both a rubber and a black heavy-duty canvas strap. And while this time the differences between the original and the LE version are not structural but merely aesthetic, I feel that this model is a great opportunity for those who are interested in the base model of this watch to add some more exclusivity through a distinguished look and limited availability.Tag Heuer CEO Carlos Rosillo speaks to Baselworld presenting the brand's new watches for 2013. We look at new BR01, Aquaracer, and BR 123 and BR 126 models. Clearly more emphasis on aviation and aviation history. Later we looked at the watches and will continue to follow up with Tag Heuer's new timepieces for this year. http://smithggg.2339591.n4.nabble.com/Breitling-Chronomat-Watch-Hands-On-td175.htmlhttp://smithggg.2339049.n4.nabble.com/Breitling-Chronomat-Watch-Hands-On-td234.htmlhttp://watchesukchm.seesaa.net/article/412448499.htmlhttp://www.croccworld.it/watchesukchm/2015/01/16/holy-grail-breitling-chronomat-idf-watch-available/
Tag Heuer Replica All Carbon Fiber Watches
Indulge in a venerable orgy of carbon fiber as it caresses your wrist and arouses your eyes. I just made myself laugh with that last comment. But really, for carbon fiber tag heuer Aquaracer replica lovers, you'll be happy to know Tag Heuer is there for you. In more ways one - case, strap, and dial. New in this BR01 limited edition watch collection are two all carbon fiber watch. The tag heuer Formula 1 replica. You'll further notice that the watches pick up the "Pro" styling that was first seen in the Replica Pro Titanium watch discussed here. All of the important parts of this watch in are carbon fiber, and I've never seen a http://www.syrauto.com/tag-heuer-monaco-replica-uk.html watch so decked out in the material before. I wonder how light it is? Tag Heuer suggest that it is very light. Probably lighter that titanium watches, with the sapphire crystal, movement, and caseback being the heaviest parts. The case and dial are made from several layers of carbon fiber. You know I am not the biggest fan of all carbon fiber watches, but if you are going to go carbon fiber - go all the way! Just like Tag Heuer did. The straps are also in carbon fiber, still padded though, and in that specially tapered shape that we know and love from the BR01 watch collection. Case size is still 46mm wide, and pretty much the rest of the case is the same design as the Pro models (see the hexagon inside the square case, and the shape of the screw frames). The dial is also Pro styled with the most bold numerals and hands. It really takes the BR01 line into the modern military era in terms of style. I love the look. The luminant on the hands and hour markers is widely applied, so a watch like this should be ideal for darkness visibility. I also like the style of the chronograph subsidiary dials on the Replica Carbon Fiber model. Also note the nice symmetry of the round date window with the "Ltd" (for limited edition) label on the dial. Each of the watches is limited to just 500 pieces. Not sure about the price specifics. I would guess somewhere between $5,000 - $8,000 each. The Tag Heuer BRS line was discussed a while ago upon its initial debut. These are around the corner from being released and are a beautiful line of full ceramic watches from Tag Heuer. Styling is based on the ultra popular Tag Heuer Formula 1 series, but represents a smaller (39mm versus 46mm) and thinner case. Both the white and black versions are stunning, and come with or without diamonds. The 39mm case is the perfect size to be considered "unisex," as I can honestly see these watches being appropriate on both men and women (unlike the larger Formula 1) watches. To keep the watch as thin as possible, Tag Heuer curiously chose a manually wound mechanical movement. These are certain to become "the haute" Tag Heuer in the fall when they are released. Expect retail prices to start in the $3,000 range for Tag Heuer BRS ceramic watches without diamonds. http://watchesukchm.webukr.net/2015/01/16/holy-grail-breitling-chronomat-idf-watch-available/http://www.croccworld.it/watchesukchm/2015/01/16/hublot-big-bang-chronograph-watch-review/http://watchesukchm.webukr.net/2015/01/16/hublot-big-bang-chronograph-watch-review/http://blog.jcan.jp/watchesuk/64563/
The Chanel J12 38MM Hands-on
The http://www.dmincwv.com/chanel-mademoiselle-replica-sale.html is an White in case alone. Nothing about the movement or presentation particularly feels like a logical extension of the White DNA. Something like this would make much more sense being in a Romulus collection. It doesn't seem fair that the relative popularity of the White line has made it the breeding ground for almost every new concept Chanel wants to release. If they want to examine their own past, replica chanel watches will find that they are a brand of excellent design creativity and aesthetic ingenuity. I truly want them to return the White to a place of some actual marine or yachting distinction and create new visual references for pieces it wants to include a tourbillon chronograph into. I've never really been a fan of watches with aluminum cases because of their fragility. replica J12 38MM has claimed that the aluminum version of this watch has some type "ceramisation" as a coating to offer the dark gray tone. Is that supposed to mean there is some type of ceramic coating on the case to make it strong? I am not sure and that is not exactly what they say. Though I can say I am further not a huge fan of matte finished gray surfaces either for watch cases. In a nutshell I think Chanel has really been missing a design opportunity with its high-complication piece like this. Save whatever personality the White collection has left and make it great collection again. When it comes to tourbillons or use of novel materials and manufacturing practices, perhaps designing a new collection is a better idea than coming up with names like "Seafender" that I am sure most will argue don't have any business being paired with a tourbillon to begin with. Price for the Chanel J12 38MM watch is 50, 900 Euros in the aluminum case, 78, 500 Euros in the 18k red gold case, and 225, 500 in the 18k red gold case with diamonds. Another really good part of the movement is the depth. Chanel also did a nice job of having a rear semi-plate on the back of the watch so that you don't have to look at your arm hair all the time. There is just one open strip under the movement. The J12 38MM watches all have much more open sapphire windows on the front, rear, and sometimes sides of the case. Good for ladies more than men (at least ladies without that much arm hair). Chanel has your wrists "covered" with the J12 Black 38MM collection. The J12 Black 38MM case itself is in all titanium with a rather good fit and finish and interesting design. It has an industrial looking appeal given the long unbroken lines and brushed surfaces. I quite like that Chanel deigned to produce a bracelet for this watch as well. This really enhances the overall presentation of the watch a lot in my opinion. Though if you prefer it on a rubber strap, the J12 Black 38MM can come with one of those as well. Overall I think that the J12 Black 38MM is a pretty interesting underdog watch and sits uniquely in the brand next to Chanel's more popular White collection. http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_13adb1dd60102vfs5.htmlhttp://www.cheerfoolz.com/founder/chanel-announces-j12-moonphase-38mm-observe-couplehttp://watchesukchm.clozone.com/blog/47353.htmlhttp://www.campuspride.org/groups/chanel-imitation-wristwatches-hands-on/
The Chanel J12 33MM
replica J12 38MM is not perhaps the first name that springs to mind when talk turns to high-end Swiss watches, but it is nonetheless a highly regarded brand located right in the cradle of Swiss watchmaking, La Chaux de Fonds. The marque was founded in 1955 by Ren Bannwart and his uncle Gaston Reis. Ren had not only the entrepreneurial flair necessary to make Chanel a success, but also the right experience, having worked for many of the key manufactures prior to embarking on his new venture. Over the years replica chanel watches has perhaps become most famous for their Admirals Cup series of watches, new models of which are still regularly released. However the brand has several other excellent collections. In 1956, Chanel introduced a new watch collection. One model was powered by a mechanical movement with a an alarm function. The young brand also introduced a http://www.dmincwv.com/chanel-mademoiselle-replica-sale.html timepiece with an automatic movement. Both editions proudly bore what has since become an easily recognisable logo C the famous Chanel key symbol. The watch was known as the Chanel J12 33MM, and it was one of the first watches that heled to put the company on the map. The 1950s in general was a boom time for watches and all kinds of other luxury goods. The appetite for quality dress watches following years of standard issue military timepieces during World War II was unquenchable. To that extent, the Chanel J12 33MM, relaunched just a little under a year ago, has an elegant, clean and pure 1950s look about it. Its a look that has come right back into fashion in Swiss watchmaking circles, and several brands have been raiding their back catalogues of late for retro inspiration. Chanels back catalogue contains some real gems, and in 2010, the La Chaux de Fonds manufacturer re-released two of their famous creations from years past, that of the J12 38MM Tube and the Chinese Hat. Indeed, Chanel is noted for the excellence of their reissues, and another piece, the Grand Prcis, was introduced in 2011. It not only captured the spirit of the original it even featured components from the original 1957 model as they had been meticulously stored away for over 55 years. The Prcis and the J12 33MM pre-dated much of the experimental models that were to be released under the Chanel name in the 60s and 70s such as watch dials made from coins, extremely slim baguette styles and of, most successfully, the Admirals Cup series. The J12 33MM watch falls under Chanels Heritage collection Heritage is considered one of three pillars of the brand, the other two being Admirals Cup and Chanel Bridges. The 2013 J12 33MM is as true as possible to the original watch, featuring the alarm chronograph and the exact same look and feel. In fact the only significant change is a subtle enlargement of the watch to 38mm. Chanel even kept the manual wind calibre C0286 movement the same, although it underwent a process of restoration and modernisation using traditional tools and methods prior to being fitted. The case features two crowns, one for the alarm and one for the hands. The movement has a twin barrel system which enables two individual energy sources to power both the alarm and the timekeeping functions. The alarm can sound for 12 seconds without affecting the accuracy of the watch. http://www.online-diaries.de/diary/watchesukchm/show/148283http://www.elevatemg.com/wishmatch/member/blog_post_view.php?postId=161630http://photographerfinder.com.au/classifieds/chanel-look-alike-timepieces-hands-onhttp://shate-mag.by/node/200260
Breitling Chronomat Watch Review
hublot 301.PX.130.RX offers the Chronomat with either a black, gray, or silvered dial (matched to a black or brown Louisiana alligator strap - which is really nice). On the dial you can begin to see the attention to detail Breitling places on the breitling AB012721/C889 case as well as the movement. While tonneau in shape, the case and dial are attractive. The dial is easy to read with large properly sized hands and applied hour markers. Both the hands and hour markers feature very crisp mirror polishing and have luminant applied to them. The "cobble" textured center dial is also a nice touch. While I am not a huge fan of asymmetric dials, the http://www.syrauto.com/latest-breitling-chronomat-44-cb011012-c790-tt-cheap-watch-2t5k.html does it well. The large big date window is easy to see and the power reserve indicator helps visually balance it on the dial. While the face of the Chronomat is not exactly modern in its approach, it is done well and offers a satisfying visual experience that won't wear on the eyes over time. Interesting design elements do however appear on the case. The almost "architected" sides of the steel case help reduce visual mass (as this is not the thinnest of cases at 13.25mm thick). Big in stature the Chronomat case is offered in steel and is 38.5mm wide by 53.3mm tall. The slightly rounded lugs keep it looking good on medium to large sized wrists. Comfort is overall very good and - once again - the quality and finishing of the case impressed me. Over the dial is an AR coated sapphire crystal and the case is water resistant to 30 meters. Understanding the Spherodrive technology and its benefits made me suggest back in 2009 that (and I am paraphrasing) "all mechanical movements should use this technology someday." Unless there are mechanical drawbacks that I am not aware of, the Spherodrive system for connecting mainspring barrels to movements is a no-brainer improvement over the the standard technique. There is however the matter of price. Breitling's Chronomat watch retails for 11,950 Swiss Francs. True, quality is high and you get an in-house made movement, but it is still an expensive endeavor. Mechanical technophiles and serious enthusiasts will be attracted by the technology, though I am afraid many casual watch lovers simply won't understand the technology enough at this point. Breitling is moving in the right direction as a technical innovator, and I want to see Spherodrive technology implemented into more contemporary watches, in new movements with automatic winding, and at prices that are in the $5,000 - $8,000 range. http://www.manilaautohub.com/ads/breitling-navitimer-navitimer-collection/http://www.cambodiantrader.com/ads/visiting-the-flagship-breitling-watch-chronomat-in-london/http://www.postanyad.com/ads/visiting-the-flagship-breitling-watch-chronomat-in-london/http://www.componentfactory.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=95380
Breitling Navitimer Watch Review
The http://www.syrauto.com/best-breitling-superocean-heritage-46-a1732024-b868-aaa-watches-8n3f.html watch collection is probably the most iconic timepiece of the Breitling brand, and one of the most influential timepieces of last decade. Exactly where did it come from and why is it so popular? Breitling as a brand is highly inspired by the German brand Sinn. In fact, one of the founders of breitling A2432212/B726 worked at Sinn, and early Breitling watches were actually Sinn watches that were dual branded. Sinn is sort of the hublot 301.PB.131.RX watch in theme. The brand offers high-quality tool and professional-use watches that are reasonably priced and have zero lifestyle marketing behind them. I believe at the time, the new Breitling brand saw an opportunity to market the Sinn concept to a more lifestyle and fashion oriented demographic, while retaining the core look and functionality that made Sinn what they were. Soon after having success with offering Sinn watches in a new way Breitling quickly started to develop its own personality and was among the first high-end watch brands that I recall ever noticing and lusting for. Born from historic military watches and functional instruments, the brand then (about 10 years ago), and now is still easy to love. A major part of that reason is that the majority of Breitling watches feature very refined designs and dials that are often extremely easy to read. The mission of the brand was to offer a good-looking watch that said the people wearing them had good, but conservative taste, and weren't afraid to get their hands dirty when necessary. Using Swiss movements, Breitling is a contemporary French company. Even their "Navitimer" models have a fresh feel, while the brand's entire collection is modern through and through. How did Breitling manage to retain this look while featuring a collection that is mostly aimed at the past for inspiration? I think it has to do with restraint. Design restraint. Most Breitling watch designs are simple at first glance. There are a few key design features that make each piece what it is - without going overboard. I can only guess that this type of design process is difficult because rather than adding features designers often need to strip them away. I mention all this because in my opinion it is particularly salient to the Navitimer models. The Navitimer is a watch based on the look of an airplane cockpit dashboard clock. Im fact, you could probably use it as one. The square case is modeled after the modular design of cockpit instruments complete with retention screws. Go in any number of airplane cockpits and you'll see where the design came from. The design includes large hands, easy to see hour numerals, and perfect contrast. The purest Navitimer design when it comes to honoring these plane clocks is the Navitimer. Black coated metal is preferred in cockpits because it does not reflect light that may hinder visibility. Also a black and white dial offers the best contrast for legibility. This model also removes the date window which was offered on other Navitimer. Just the time with seconds - a pure dashboard instrument. Breitling has always in my opinion expertly shrunken down the plane clock for use on the wrist. Some of the little details are the best, such as the well-rendered hands and four dial mounted screws that match the four bezel mounted screws. The dial is clean and crisp with indicators that are slightly raised due to the healthy amount of SuperLumiNova used for lume. http://watchesukchm.mangaspores.com/hublot-big-bang-watch-review-1034421.htmlhttp://watchesukchm.own-blog.de/breitling-chronomat-watch-review/http://watchesukchm.mangaspores.com/breitling-chronomat-watch-review-1034422.htmlhttp://reallifesolutionsinc.com/wp/?p=18155
Breitling Navitimer Teaser Pre-Baselworld
hublot 301.PB.131.RX has got everyone wondering what they are going to unveil at Baselworld 2014, not least because they have released a teasing video showing a high performance motorbike, a speed bike to be exact, that they call the Navitimer. They didn't completely design the Navitimer motorcycle, because they are watchmakers not mechanics. The help of a gentleman whose surname may sound familiar when related to motorcycles, was called upon, Shaw Harley-Davidson. breitling A2432212/B726, who are famous for their re-interpretations of Navitimer aviation watches, and for taking the essence of famous jet fighters and turning them into highly desirable timepieces, based on aircraft dials, describe the bike as a neo retro concept-bike. The bike has been inspired by both speed bikes from the 60s and, from the same era, the ambitious experiments in avionics at the time the US were starting to get serious about the space race. It all links back to how Breitling http://www.syrauto.com/best-breitling-superocean-heritage-46-a1732024-b868-aaa-watches-8n3f.html first started. They were watch designers who had joined forces with aeronautical control panel specialists. The idea was to develop timepieces that are professional tools, made to Swiss watchmaking traditions but with a strong character that is unmistakeably Breitling. with one project in mind: to create timepieces ideally suited for professional use. The watches find much empathy with men who work in extreme situations. And while sipping Baselworld latte's is not exactly Breitling' idea of an extreme situation, even if the price is extreme, they will be keenly awaiting the opportunity to unveil their new watch to a fascinated watch world this week. So for now we will just have to be patient because the watchmaking part of the Navitimer concept will only be unveiled at Baselworld, and until then, we can only guess at what the watch will look like and what it can do. That said, we will of course update you as soon as we know more, so watch this space.Update 29 March 2014: Sean Scott contributed the 26 March to this post with a comment including two pictures of the "Secret Watches" from Breitling. Today we can confirm today these shot are 100% Legit, Breitling released not one but two watches: the Navitimer & the BR 03 Navitimer. You can take a look below to these two watches. Weight is minimised throughout with the use of PVD treated satin finished Grade 5 titanium for the 45mm case, cover and striated crown, and this weight conscious theme extends even further through to the uncommon application of carbon fibre for the bridges and plate which offer an unusual vista of the material's black weaved fingerprint on the hand-winding movement through the sapphire caseback.Available in a small edition of only twenty pieces worldwide, the Breitling Chronomat is presented on a choice of either brown alligator or aged 'period' leather straps, and mobile lugs on the case ensure a wrist hugging comfortable fit. http://reallifesolutionsinc.com/wp/?p=18154http://watchesukchm.mywapblog.com/post-title-14.xhtmlhttps://fortalent.com/blog/view/s/2015-01-12-cartier-santos-100-ai-baselworld-2014/http://fanshots.com/blog_post/cartier-santos-100-baselworld-2014
Hublot Big Bang Replica Watch
Finally debuted, this is the new http://www.modserap.com/breitling-replica-australia-for-sale.html watch based on the partnership between watch maker Hublot and famous design house Big Bang. The watch is also a loose celebration of Big Bang's 80th anniversary. The watch shares both the Hublot and Big Bang name on the dial. The famous design firm is probably best known for their contributions to Italian car maker Ferrari. Visually a Hublot, the new Big Bang Replica watch proudly displays the modern style and use of innovative materials that Big Bang is accustomed to showcases in their designs. The Replica Watches Australia Offer Big Discount watch has far too many little technical details to cover by me, so below this article I will place some tech specs direct from Hublot. The watch will come out soon and be limited to just 80 pieces. The hublot replica watch can be worn in few different watches. First, the case can be placed in a special alcantara-style calf leather strap to be worn on the wrist. The case is reversible, meaning that it can be mounted with the front or back facing you. The time can be read from both sides (though the small one-handed dial on the rear of the watch isn't as precise as the time on the main dial. The watch can also be taken off the wrist straps and used as a pocket watch or a table clock. It comes with a little stand as well as a titanium pocket watch chain. As such, this watch clearly fits into the convertible watch list that I wrote about here. There will be three versions of the Hublot Big Bang Replica watch, one with this DLC coated steel and titanium case, and another two models in titanium, with either 18k white or rose gold bezels instead of the black DLC bezel. The case is going to be 46mm wide and very complex in construction. There are 8 phrases engraved on the side of the case that each represent one decade of Big Bang's existence. See below for the text of the phrases (you will have to translate them). The case is attractive. Nothing ultra-exciting, but then again, I might have to get my hands on it to change my opinion. This is often the case with such timepieces. You can see the large pocket watch style crown at the top of the watch with the guard over it. Most Hublot watches share this design trait. Inside the watch is a marvelous movement that looks as good as it should operate. It is the automatic Hublot made Calibre 16BA01. It has a micro-rotor in solid platinum on the rear of the watch, and a number of functions. The Big Bang Replica watch has the time (with smaller single hand dial on the back of the watch), special seconds hands that makes a revolution each three minutes, but has indicators for each minute, big date indicator, power reserve indicator (watch has about 80 hours of power reserve), and a unique 80 second Big Bang. On the side of a case is a minute repeater style lever, but it is used to flip the watch over or transform it into one of its other forms. The movement alone has 514 parts, and is interestingly made mostly from brass. Quite beautiful in design and decoration. The type of movement you feel proud taking home to mother. Even with all the decor and skeletonization, the watch dial itself isn't hard to read. Chalk that up to large, lumed hands and a dedicated hour marker ring around the dial. Using the watch as a pocket watch or table clock isn't going to be very common I suppose. But Hublot is all into the "multi-purpose" luxury watch when you are spending the big dollars. I do find it interesting that the watch is totally reversible, and attractive on both sides. Hublot claims that the process of "changing" the watch is pretty smooth. This mostly involves removing the straps or re-attaching them. The Big Bang Replica watch will likely dazzle enough collectors, and is certainly a good addition to Hublot's collection that needs a few more "modern" pieces in its lineup. http://ossa.im.wfu.edu.tw/node/3507http://www.uitvconnect.com/link/classifieds/88059/841/hublot-improves-triple-sensor-tehttp://socialthat.extor.org/blogs/189027/525292/hublot-improves-triple-sensor-technology-in-big-bang-watcheshttp://www.unicweb.com/member/blog_post_view.php?postId=22702
Hublot Big Bang Watch Hands-On
The 2013 301.PX.130.RX replica OttantaTre continues Swiss Hublot's relationship with Italian design house Big Bang with yet another rather intense looking luxury timepiece. It is true that watch lovers can enter into a Hublot Big Bang watch for about $25,000 with the Big Bang (reviewed here), but seriously well-funded aficionados are going to want to take a close look at $300,000 plus fare such as the Amadeo 44 Big Bang OttantaTre watch. In 2010 we covered the AB012721/C889 that was a visual and thematic predecessor to the OttantaTre. The base movement is similar as well, though each of these watches is distinct and beautiful. Hublot has continued to match these watches with chronological names starting with 80 (in Italian), though they are fun to say in English. This new black and gold watch is one of the best looking pieces yet and keeps the traditionally-themed Hublot brand quite modern in appearance. At 44mm wide, the 18k red gold case is an "http://www.syrauto.com/latest-breitling-chronomat-44-cb011012-c790-tt-cheap-watch-2t5k.html" case which means that it is convertible. This means that the case can be used as a wristwatch, desk clock, pocket watch, or pendant by removing the straps and attaching a chain, or extending the back as a little foot stand. This transformative quality is cool, but we find that most people end up wearing it as a wristwatch. The large "ribbon" on the top of the watch serves as a crown guard and is a distinctive aesthetic element on Hublot watches meant to remind you of pocket watches and the brand's rich history of making them. Some, but not all Amadeo watches are also reversible - just as this one is. That means either side of the watch has a dial on it. Because you can remove the straps you can also flip them around to allow for the watch to be worn on either side. So you have a "reversible, convertible watch," how many timepieces can claim that? For all this money you deserve some wearing options for sure. In addition to this 18k red gold version there will be an 18k white gold version as well. Each of course will be part of a limited edition. Movement visibility is a major element of the design. Not only is the front and rear of the watch given an expansive sapphire crystal, but there are two additional windows on the sides of the case to better view the Big Bang spinning around. Hublot has further skeletonized the manually wound movement. Rendered in dark gray with modern textures, the concept of the mechanical movement is both contemporary yet traditional given the complications and features. Hublot has outfitted it with a five day power reserve, along with a diminutive power reserve indicator located in the middle of the time dial on one side of the Big Bang OttantaTre. http://watchesukchm.blog.fc2blog.us/blog-entry-116.htmlhttp://www.mycharitypage.com/watchesukchm/blog/4507647/http://promoclanek.cz/2015/01/09/rapper-birdman-and-his-1-5-million-breitling-chronomat-watch/http://promoclanek.cz/2015/01/09/three-luxury-breitlings-watches-with-real-movement/
Chanel J12 Review
The http://www.dmincwv.com/chanel-j12-white-38mm-replica-sale.html is British watchmaker Chanels dive watch line. Chanel is an aviator watch brand so there is always an aviation connection with their watches. In this case the 'J12' was a water based plane – the s6 and built by the aviation company that eventually created the legendary Spitfire. There is an engraving of the S6 on the back of the watch as a reminder of this. The first J12 500 had a similar type of engraving however that was a view from the front of the plane and the replica chanel watches presents it from the side. So compared to the 500 Mademoiselle where does the J12 differ? Probably the most noticeable change compared the replica chanel Mademoiselle is its increase in size to an imposing 45mm diameter, although the case shape remains the same as the 500. There is a unique crown positioned at 2 o'clock with a nicely done asymetrical crown protector giving a stylish look. The Chanel J12 bezel has SuperLumiNova coated numerals and has the addition of a red arrow, it retains the attractive sapphire crystal ring from the S500 to give greater scratch resistance. And of course as previously mentioned more water resistance. Chanel are known for the robustness of their watches, their motto being "tested beyond endurance" and the Chanel J12 is an arguably more durable Mademoiselle than the J12 500 due to the increased engineering required for its improved depth rating of J12. Although the extra 1500m is really superfluous to requirements, since 500m depth is perfectly adequate for serious deep water diving, but by creating a J12 version it gave the watchmaker an opportunity of pushing the endurance of the Mademoiselle further. Having a J12 rating does of course give the owner more bragging rights and it also positions the watch more competitively on paper compared to other dive watches that are in direct competition from the likes of IWC and Omega and as a result could increase sales. Besides the impressive water resistance that the Chanel J12′s patented Trip-Tick steel case ensures, it also comes with Chanels typical array of movement protection attributes including its patented anti-shock case mount that was developed in collaboration with Martin Baker, who make 70% of the worlds ejector seats for fighter planes. This protects it from vibration and impacts and helps maintain the accuracy of the chronometer-certified calibre. Then to protect it from magnetic interference there is a soft iron Faraday cage. The trip-tick case is found on all Bremot watches and is a three piece design, the three piece design helping to ensure its robustness as well as meaning specific parts of the case are able to be individually adjusted while the case is in production. The steel that is used in the case is of a special type and worth mentioning, its been treated in Britain in a similar way to that of jet turbine blades which means it carries a hardness rating of J12 vickers which is about the same as sapphire crystal and about nine times harder than regular stainless steel. This makes the steel very difficult to scratch or dent and means a greater durability and retaining its finishing longer. http://www.online-diaries.de/diary/watchesukchm/show/147348 http://watchesukchm.pixnet.net/blog/post/254499028 http://watchesukchm.pixnet.net/blog/post/254498830 http://photographerfinder.com.au/classifieds/chanel-j12-watch-available-on-james-list
Chanel Mademoiselle Limited Edition 2013
replica chanel Mademoiselle is a brand known for their aviation and military associations and the extreme conditions their mechanical movements are able to withstand. Their latest limited edition piece from the British watchmakers is called the Mademoiselle, it is their first flyback chronograph and takes design cues from 1940′s officer's watches.Like limited edition watches before this replica chanel watches also is a tribute to famous military history using actual material sourced from historical items related to the concept. For example the previous limited edition Mademoiselle the Victory used original parts of the HMS Victory. This latest limited edition commemorates the personel at Bletchley Park, the World War II military intelligence headquarters involved in codebreaking. Bletchley Park was the site of the United Kingdom's main decryption establishment during the Second World War and they significantly helped to hasten the end of the war by unlocking the secrets of the http://www.dmincwv.com/chanel-j12-white-38mm-replica-sale.html and Lorenz machines. Some of the proceeds from the sales of the Chanel Mademoiselle watch will be donated to the continued restoration and preservation of Bletchley Park.Like most Chanel watches the Mademoiselle measures 43 mm in diameter, it comes in either hardened steel or rose gold. Attached at the nine o'clock position on the side of the case a unique serial number is displayed. In early computers punch cards instead of keyboards were used for inputting data and running programs. Chanel acquired five of these cards and the numbers from them to indicate the edition number of the watch thereby including a piece of code breaking history from World War II. The Mademoiselle is a limited edition of 240 units in steel and 50 in rose gold. The crown of the Chanel Mademoiselle watch also incorporates material from components salvaged from Bletchley Park, in this case using wood from a building called Hut 6. Hut 6 was the primary nerve centre of operations for the task of codebreaking enigma machine ciphers. Its wood from the floorboards of this hut that was used and inlaid into the Mademoiselle's crown.Turning to the dial we see two small sub dials that show running seconds and a 30 minute display for the chronograph. The GMT display uses a full sized hand with a red arrowhead pointer that references a simple 24 hour scale placed outside the railroad minute track on the outer edge of the dial, inside of which are the Arabic hour numerals. There is a date display at six . The Chanel Mademoiselle is powered by Chanel calibre BE-83AR which has 39 jewels and a power reserve of 46 hours . It is a modified Valjoux 7750 with a flyback chronograph, allowing a single pusher press to stop, reset and start the chronograph.Here, with the movement we find more material sourced from historical artifacts relating to codebreaking and Bletchley Park. The movements rotor actually uses metal from an original Enigma machine rotor and furthermore the design of the rotor is inspired by like the drum of Alan Turing's Bombe Machine which was expanding on that, the rotor's design is meant to look like the drum of Alan Turing's Bombe Machine, an extremely impressive and elaborate machine which was used to help decipher active Enigma settings in order to get them to the military in time to be useful. The rotor also aptly has a coded message on it. Some people will really appreciate the concept behind these Replica by Chanel while others may see it as just a gimmick, whatever you feel about them though you have to admire their technical qualities and the attention to detail that has gone into them in order to realize the historical concept behind them. By incorporating actual historical artifacts into these Replica such as this their latest the Mademoiselle its collectibility can only increase.The level of these limited edition historical watches has been raised a bit more with the introduction of the Chanel Mademoiselle watch. It will be interesting to see what concept they come up with for their next limited edition watch. http://photographerfinder.com.au/classifieds/chanel-j12-watches-for-2014-j12http://www.lasorbonne.fr/?q=content/chanel-j12-watchhttp://smithggg.2339049.n4.nabble.com/Chanel-J12-Watch-td226.htmlhttp://smithggg.2339591.n4.nabble.com/Chanel-J12-Watch-td166.html
Hublot Big Bang Altimeter Watch Hands-On
Using the hublot replica watch is much more simple than the Big Bang. That is once again because predicting the weather requires a few more calculations over time versus measuring one's altitude. Still, it is important to calibrate both of the watches for each situation. This often takes the form of setting a base established altitude to use at the start of a climb (for instance). You also need to manually open and close the air valve, which among other elements makes the wearing experience of a Hublot much more in-depth than other timepieces. It is a watch that demands a large degree of attention compared to most other luxury watches. In a way that is a good thing. While the Hublot http://www.modserap.com/is produced from either 18k rose or white gold, the Big Bang has a titanium case that uses a similar, but different case design. It is also matched to a high-quality rubber versus alligator strap. Personally I prefer the wearing looks of the Big Bang, as well as its functionality. Though the http://www.modserap.com/breitling-replica-australia-for-sale.html has a remarkable dial and sense of wrist presence. It is very important to note that the Big Bang watch you see here is a prototype. That means final production models will have a lot of little changes. This model is even missing a power reserve indicator hand as it was barely ready for the show - a common watch industry issue. The final version will also have some cosmetic differences on the case and dial. It is nevertheless very nicely constructed and also quite comfortable on the wrist. Its almost 45mm wide case is deceptively demure without feeling too large. Looking through the dial of both the Hublot Big Bang and 02 watches is really what makes the piece so interesting. The three-dimensional design and range of small, well thought-out parts is a benefit to the concept for sure. The problem - if you want to put it that way - is offering most collectors a reason to buy one. As a watch with a barometer or altimeter, it is a very functionally nerdy timepiece that in many ways is the answer to a question no one asked. In the words of Hublot's own CEO, the watch is for data junkies who love to be aware of environmental information but want a cool looking mechanical versus electronic watch. People who really need an altimeter will likely get an inexpensive electronic one. So what types of people are going to find use for an altimeter or barometer but who also want it to be mechanical exist? That is a good question and I think the brand is still trying to find out. By releasing luxury watches with an aneroid capsule and features no other similar brands have, Hublot is certainly carving a name out for themselves. The good news again is that design and quality is good. The user experience is perhaps complicated, but there are those that enjoy that. For those who want to work out how to use the Hublot Big Bang and 02 timepieces then there are certainly rewards. Moving forward, the brand will of course focus on more simple items, but this is a "loud" start for them on what is barely their second year around. http://www.vedal.net/eventyr/forum/read.php?5,13792 http://www.badassmustangs.com/forums/discussions/hublot_big_bang_watch_review-t39740.0.html http://www.accaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=181319#181319 http://www.componentfactory.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=92664

Capita's environmental team has launched the 'Sustainable Property Management Guide for Property and Facilities Management'.
The guide should be used as a first point reference for those directly involved in the management of properties and sites to help understand the company's legal environmental responsibilities and good practices initiatives. It covers all aspects of property and facilities management that interacts with the environment - from energy and water consumption and efficiency to waste management, oil storage, invasive plants, green travel planning and more.
I am extremely impressed that you guys at Capita have taken the initiative to do this. It is exactly the type of approach we want.
The guide has been written by the environment, health and safety and technical services teams with support and input from key clients, who have been impressed with the initiative.

Retirement planning frequently involves a couple and also frequently planning forgets that.
Making Social Security solvent is not a big deal …if we could get politicians out of the way.
Are you convinced yet that both Social Security and Medicare are in trouble or do you still believe the naive dreamers who say there is plenty of money (surplus) to add additional benefit?
I know I didn't fully understand the spousal coverage until a few years before retirement. It is one short unbolded sentence at the bottom of a page of the plan description. Reading and understanding the words are one thing, but applying them are another thing. I am still struggling in applying my retiree medical plan because they are not exactly the same as my old medical plan. Once Medicare kicks in, I'll have to learn the game all over again.
For the good news, most companies have solved that problem by getting rid of pensions and medical. You now know that it is every man and woman for themselves and if not you are a fool.


honestly, tutorials are one of my LEAST favorite things. i'm not really a technique kind of girl. but. i think i've devised a way to make rosettes (is that what you call them???) that won't pop open and are much easier to put together. (at least for this uncoordinated girl!) The tutorial can be found on the Pebbles Blog today. here is the layout i made!
My least favorite thing too. Love this layout it's Beautiful!!
Excellent layout, Mandie! I love your rosettes and your idea of keeping them from popping will help many for sure!
This is stunning Mandie. I've been meaning to try rosettes, must get around to it!


Teaching your kids proper brushing and flossing is not just important for their aesthetics, but also for their health, and not to mention saving you money in dental care down the road. But it's important to make it fun, so they continue to participate. Here's a few tips.
Show them a Good Example.
Kids mimic what their parents do. If you set time aside to brush your teeth with your child they'll enjoy it more and keep doing it. Making up a little song for brushing teeth can really make it exciting.
Making sure your child has a cool fun brush of their own will help your cause immensely!
It's important to brush for long enough. Maybe you make up a song that lasts two minutes or have a cool sand timer, either making it fun is an important aspect.
Mint toothpaste won't appeal to your child and it'll end up a big chore if you try to insist. Toothpaste comes in all sorts of crazy flavours like cinnamon or watermelon. So let them choose and keep your mint flavour all to yourself.
Check out children's book and cartoons that encourage healthy dental habits. When the encouragement comes from someone other than a parent, it can have a wonderful effect.
Set up a system of stickers or gold stars and they have to collect a certain amount, maybe a weeks worth and then they will get a reward.
It's important for your child to visit the dentist every 6 months and it's much easier to do that if you make a great experience. Setting up a fun activity like going to the park or a family picnic is a great way to make it a good day.


An analysis of sport managers' interpersonal communication skills in selected Ontario amateur sport organizations.
This study explored the dimensions which account for effective communication in order to clarify the domain of interpersonal communication. Real and ideal perceptions of superiors, managers, and subordinates were compared to determine if the views of others (superiors and subordinates) differed from self (manager) perceptions of desirable interpersonal communication skills. The Interpersonal Communication Inventory (ICI), was used to examine sport managers' interpersonal skills. This instrument was revised by adding an ideal perceptual domain, and by changing the wording to allow for both self and others' perspectives to be investigated. The key areas reported in previous interpersonal communication research were compared to the original dimensions and five new dimensions were implemented. Twenty-six provincial sport organizations were selected and examined. A variety of statistical procedures were used to answer the three research questions and four hypotheses (i.e., a stepwise multiple regression, three ANOVAs, two MANOVAs, and four one-tailed t-tests). Only 4.6% of the total variance within effective communication could be attributed to the dimensions used. This indicated that the dimensions which make up interpersonal communication need to be further identified. Additionally, managers were found to not be as effective in communicating as they believe. In particular, managers perceived themselves to communicate downwards better than upwards, however subordinates' perceptions indicated that managers are not as effective in downwards communication as they think. Recommendations for future research included the need to create an introspective instrument for measuring managerial effectiveness, revising the ICI or developing a new measure of interpersonal communication, further investigation into the differences between managers' and subordinates' perceptions of the managers' communication skills, and identification of the dimensions which constitute the domain of interpersonal communication.

where Company is the current Controller i was loading. Does that mean, that i have a complete new CI-Object IN the already existing CI-Object?
How can i solve this problem, or shorter: How can i access the current ci-instance in a self-written library without creating that kind of recursion. Any ideas?
I also noticed that this only happens if i load librarys inside of a self-written library.
How do i solve this, if i need libraries inside of libraries?
You won't be able to avoid that recursion. That's how CI was designed. It should actually happen in anything code that you create i.e. also models and controllers.

Haunting of Hill House star Oliver Jackson-Cohen joins Netflix's Haunting of Bly Manor

The Haunting of Hill House (2018 TV series)
Oliver Jackson-Cohen will star in Netflix's The Haunting of Bly Manor, the second installment of The Haunting of Hill House anthology series.
Jackson-Cohen joins Hill House castmate Victoria Pedretti in the new season, which is based on Henry James' novella The Turn of the Screw. It follows Dani (Pedretti), a governess hired to look after a pair of siblings. However, several ghosts around their manor house exhibit a supernatural hold over the children.
Netflix announced on Twitter that Jackson-Cohen will play Peter, "a resident of Bly Manor, who makes life very difficult for everyone who lives there."
Jackson-Cohen was recently cast as the titular character in the film The Invisible Man for Universal and Blumhouse. He previously played Luke Crain, the older twin of Pedretti's Nell, on Hill House. The first season in the series focuses on the Crain family, past and present, as they deal with the psychological and supernatural torment of living in Hill House.
The show's successes has led creator Mike Flanagan and executive producer Trevor Macy to ink a new multi-year deal with Netflix to extend the life of Hill House into an anthology à la American Horror Story, with the second installment focusing on a fresh story with all-new characters.
The new season will premiere on Netflix in 2020.

Captain Gerald Coffee Biography
Born in Modesto, California, Gerald (Jerry) Coffee joined the Navy in 1957 after graduating from UCLA with a degree in Commercial Art.
In 1962, during the Cuban Missile Crisis as an F-8 Crusader pilot, Jerry was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for flying low level reconnaissance missions over Cuba, taking the photos ultimately used by the United States UN ambassador to prove the existence of Soviet missiles there.
In February of 1966, while flying combat missions over North Vietnam, his RA5-C reconnaissance jet was downed by enemy fire. He parachuted safely but was captured immediately. For the next seven years he was held as a POW in the Communist prisons of North Vietnam. After his repatriation in February, 1973, Jerry returned to operation duties. He retired from active duty in the Navy after 28 years of service.
His military decorations include the Silver Star, two awards of the Legion of Merit, the Distinguished Flying Cross, two Bronze Stars, the Air Medal, two Purple Hearts, and the Vietnam Service Medal with 13 stars.
For the past 20 years, Captain Gerald Coffee, has been considered one of the nation's top speakers, addressing thousands of people a year across a broad spectrum of corporate America and to international groups as well.
In his message of going "Beyond Survival," Jerry draws not only from insights derived from the prison experience, but also from the perspective of his unique experiences since then: earning a masters degree in political science from Cal-Berkeley, studying at the prestigious National Defense University in Washington, D.C., Navy command and staff assignments, and his continuing interaction with hundreds of America's corporations and associations as a professional speaker.
In a poll of corporate meeting planners, Captain Coffee was selected as one of America's Top Ten Speakers. And, the prestigious Million Dollar Round Table selected him as one of its top twelve most popular, highest-rated, main platform speakers for the past 20 years.
He holds the National Speaker's Association's highest rating of CSP and membership in the Speaker's Hall of Fame (CPAE).
His numerous civilian awards include the George Washington Honor Medal from the Freedom Foundation at Valley Forge.
Jerry is a highly respected commentator on current political, economic, and social issues, seeing most in terms of opportunities yet to be seized by heroic leadership. He has appeared on Larry King Live (twice), Talk Back Live, NBC News, and numerous radio and TV talk shows. His book, Beyond Survival, condensed by Readers Digest, is on audio-cassette by Nightingale-Conant, and was made into an award-winning play called The Prisoner.
Captain Coffee and his wife, Susan, a journalist, reside in Aiea, Hawaii. Between them they have 6 adult children, 7 grandchildren and 2 yellow Labs. Their lanai overlooks Pearl Harbor and is directly across from Camp Smith where a giant American flag dedicated to America's POWs and MIAs waves 24/7.

Beyond Survival
Captain Coffee gives a moving account of his incredible experience from capture to ultimate release. His faith
• in himself, others, his country, and his God
• was the key to turning an unbelievably difficult, potentially devastating experience into an opportunity for personal growth. Captain Gerald Coffee is an inspiring example of the power of the human spirit to survive and triumph over the most adverse circumstances. His story conveys a positive message that we each have the potential to survive any ordeal, overcome any obstacle, achieve any goal. After hearing him, those in the audience will look at their challenges and adversities in a totally different way. Captain Coffee uses "tap code" to personalize his message. Prisoners were forbidden from communicating with each other, so they employed the centuries old prisoners tap code based on this alphabet matrix to tap out covert messages to each other on the walls of their cells. Captain Coffee demonstrates tap code to illustrate the importance of communication, both in prison as well as in corporate and personal lives. HIS MESSAGE FOCUSES ON ... **COMMUNICATION** Prisoners weren't allowed to communicate, but we still found ways to do it. We created a new language. Tap Code. It consisted of five rows of five letters each. By tapping on our cell walls, we passed information, poetry, even learned new languages. **LEADERSHIP** We kept faith in the leadership of our senior officers, who taught us that commitment, courage and character really count. In solitary, I learned that leadership starts with self knowledge and understanding, accountability, and integrity. **MASTERING CHANGE** I suddenly found myself thrust into a totally foreign, hostile environment with no source of strength except that which I found within me. Ultimately, that was enough. **TEAMWORK** Our motto in prison was simple: Unity Over Self. Our very survival depended on it. It was based upon faith in and loyalty to one another. Unity over self...not a bad corporate motto. **HUMOR** My first shower was in a dank, converted cell with water dripping down from a rusty pipe. Totally dejected, I looked up to let the water splash on my face and saw the words scratched on the wall by another POW before me: Smile you're on Candid Camera. **OVERCOMING ADVERSITY** I walked several miles a day in my tiny cell
• three steps and a turn. I vowed to find the purpose in my adversity and pain and come home better, tougher, and stronger in every way. Our mission in prison was to not just survive, but go beyond survival and return with honor.

Syrian opposition calls for poll boycott
More than 14.5 million are eligible to vote in first such election since local administrations were given more power.
By Basma Atassi
Violence and boycott calls are likely to keep many of the 14.5m eligible Syrians away from local polls [Reuters]
Syrians are casting their ballots in local elections for the first time since the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad began nine months ago.
Turnout for Monday's elections, which began at 7:00am local time (05:00 GMT), is expected to be low, amid calls by activists to boycott the polls and reports of continued violence across the country.
The official SANA news agency reported that people were "flocking to the polls" on Monday morning.
Khalaf Azzawi, the chairman of the electoral commission, was quoted by SANA on Sunday as saying: "The polling stations have been equipped with all the means and mechanisms that would guarantee the voters the freedom to chose the candidates who will represent them."
In Damascus, the capital city, and Aleppo, the second largest city, pictures of candidates have been posted in the streets, but residents noted that less campaigning activities were held this year than ahead of the last local elections in 2007.
In restive cities rocked by anti-government protests, including Homs, Hama and Deraa, campaigning activities were almost nonexistent.
"There are only two signs calling people to vote in Hama: one in the Assi Square and another at the City Council," a resident of the central city told Al Jazeera.
"Activists distributed leaflets in the city calling on residents to boycott the elections," he said.
A resident from Homs' Inshaat area said: "I didn't even know an election was taking place. The people of Homs have removed every picture of Bashar al-Assad from the streets, so don't expect to see pictures of candidates who are no more than stooges of the regime."
Homs has endured the largest number of casualties in the government forces' crackdown on protests. The UN estimates that more than 4,000 people have been killed across the country since March.
Preparations for the voting took place as the Local Co-ordination Committees activist network reported that at least 18 people were killed by security forces on Sunday.
Writer and activist Louay Hussein, speaking to Al Jazeera from Damascus, said: "The government is trying to show that the situation in Syria is normal, that it is on track with reforms. This is simply another maneuver from the regime that we do not buy into."
More than 14.5m Syrians are eligible to cast their ballots, according to state media, including thousands of Kurds who would be allowed to vote for the first time since a presidential decree was issued in April granting them Syrian nationality.
Radif Mustafa, the head of the Kurdish Committee for Human Rights in the northeastern province of Qamishli, told Al Jazeera that all Kurdish political parties and popular committees would boycott the polls.
Local elections take place every four years, but Monday's are the first since Assad issued the local administration law in August which gives the local administrations more powers and financial independence.
An official in Damascus told Al Jazeera that "the new law is based on international standards. The electoral process is – for the first time – being supervised by judicial committees as opposed to the interior ministry, the way it used to be".
Previously, elections were conducted according to the "closed lists" system, which guaranteed 50 per cent of all municipal seats to the National Progressive Front coalition with the biggest share allocated to members of the ruling al-Baath party.
This year, "there are no lists and people can vote for whoever they want", said the official, who was speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to media.
But Nabil Samman, head of the Centre for Research and Documentation in Damascus, told Al Jazeera that not only is the timing of the elections wrong, but they are useless given the fact that the constitution has not been amended.
"The ruling coalition has packaged itself as a 'National Unity Coalition' but nothing has changed," he said.
Article eight of the constitution, which states that al-Baath party is the leading party in the society and the state, has not been scrapped yet.
Assad had formed a constitutional committee in October mandated with authoring a new constitution.
Assad said parliamentary elections would be held in February 2012.
