Hey folks I’m writing here to tell you about my last purchase in an online-store. Not so long ago I came upon some scammers which sent me some fake Chinese watch. I was really angry because the watch cost a good deal of money. But what to do? I put the law on these phonies, hired a lawyer and now I’m waiting for a court decision. This thing absolutely finished me off and I was kinda broken after.

But still I needed a good timepiece and I decided to choose some other online-store, but this time already with reviews on it. I looked a few sites over and my attention turned on a story of some girl which ordered Rolex watch as a present for her father. And she did it over Internet. She was telling in her message that everything was ok and I also decided to get myself a new watch if I could find something suitable. I’m a picky type in such things and it is really hard to please me with something. But of course if the will be really a good one I will certainly appreciate it.

I opened the website and started looking for a right timepiece for my liking. And surprisingly I found Panerai Luminor GMT 270 which was really good (look at the picture below.)

By its looking it resembled me the timepiece I saw once on the wrist of my business partner from Japan and I decided to buy them. I dreamed for this model already for a long time. Found an e-mail address at the website and sent a query to find out about the watch. In three hours I received an answer and they said that the model was in stock. It cheered me up and I paid for the watch right away. Though I was hazy about it since I didn’t want to make the same mistake over but the girl’s review and businesslike attitude of the store convinced me. And also my feelings were telling me that everything is alright with that company and there won’t be any problems at all.

In two days I got my watch by messenger delivery which brought me mine watch and wall all nice. I got the scissors, unfolded the package and found my timepiece lying there safely. It was looking better than on a photo. The band is made of genuine leather, paint is keeping on its surface so tight that I bet you can’t scrub it off by any means, and also the band is stitched very firmly. Overall, there weren’t any problems. The timepiece was looking as if it was made 5 minutes ago. It’s really great!

I put it on pretty quick and shot the whole thing as you can see below.

So, finally I’ve come across a place where I can not only find good things for me but also get a delivery safely and in no time. Thanks to all people and managers working in this company. You’re doing your job really good!

I recommend this website to anyone who wants to buy himself new watch. You better not to risk and use the services of some phony stores. It is really better check the thing for just one time then hear it for one hundred times!

The prominent actor and director of many movies Clint Eastwood proudly presents the spirit of manful Rolex watches in himself. Being aged 78, he is getting lots of awards and prizes for his action in and the direction of the movie Gran Torino. And though Eastwood is known only as a famous actor, he is actually filmed more movies than all the renowned Hollywood’s directors altogether. In the beginning of 2009 Eastwood directed one more movie, where Angelina Jolie starred. During the period of his longstanding activity, Clint had Rolex watch put on him in some of his movies.

Two years ago Jacques Chirac, President of France, decorated Eastwood with a medal Legion of Honor, which is a scarce thing to award to an American citizen. And Eastwood’s talent was acknowledged around the Earth and he started to grow and to develop his skills in directing and action. In Gran Torino, movie which he directed and starred in, he plays very tough guy and in addition a conceived conservator. “I really can’t put it straight for me what role I need to play and what role I can play best”, said Eastwood with a voice which was more like a whisper. “The scenario had really interested me with all these Hmong culture thing mixed in it. It was so new to me, and the gist and the message of the movie are quite serious and it is never too late to play in and deep into such a role.” As for Rolex, Clint Eastwood has not only got the feel of venturing and manliness but taught himself to be kind and to help others. And these are not the only merits to Rolex watch as Clint Eastwood.

In the movie Clint Eastwood was working with lots of inexperienced actors like Vang Ahney who was born in the USA but his parents were actually of Hmong origin. “They were really pretty kids and really grown-up in a way”, said Eastwood. “All these young Hmongs, though they were born here, in the USA, they know their mother tongue and they are accustomed to all of their folk habits. And respect for adult people is one of them.” Being 78 years old, Clint Eastwood demonstrates great liveliness, he is mixed in all sorts of activities and what is more important he keeps growing as an actor and director. And a great one I admit. If we had a chance to select the timepiece which would be most appropriate for Clint Eastwood and his style, I think it would be a stainless steel Rolex Datejust with a dial of black color and waved surface trimmings. With a mixture of exquisiteness and rigidity it would fit the character and style of such a prominent actor and just a good person.

It has been not so long since Swiss watch manufacturer company Ulysse Nardin released its new timepiece, Maxi Marine watch — Monaco YS. The name of watch rises from a city situated on seashore of the Mediterranean Sea. And along with adding a new sample of a watch to its new collection, the company decided to give a proper respect to its history which from the very outset was related to nautical affairs. Even more, this publishing of a new collection connected with the brand participation in Monaco Yacht Show 2009, which is considered to be one of most famous and upscale shows around the world.

The official reports say that Monaco YS timepiece will be sold in a black DLC (diamond-like-carbon) with strengthened stainless steel case. Using the unique technology, Monaco YS will get a scrub-resistant body. The dial of black color is garnished with dark grey and the surface is trimmed with wave-like paintings. Both minute and hour hands are luminescent and glow in the dark. This will make time reading in light reduced conditions.

The power margin indicator resides at 12 o’clock. The watch power capacity is 42 hours at most. Display with second hand and date is at 6 o’clock. Luminescent material is placed on all the hour marks as well as on minute and hour hands. Since the brand is engaged in marine affairs, it couldn’t make a timepiece with a dull water resistance. So, the water resistance limitations for this watch are 200 meters (~650 feet.)

Through the back of the case you can behold elaborated winding rotor and movement.

The Monaco YS is released in a limited edition with 100 copies.

If we will take the 20 Swiss francs bill, we will see some old man pictured on it. His name is Abraham-Louis Perrelet, and in such a way Swiss government decided to do justice to a person whose achievements became crucial in watchmaking history and horology.

But why Perrelet gained such popularity among the Swiss people? Why he? Let’s study the story of Perellet and find out what so special he did.

In 18-th century the Swiss horology was in a real mess so that you can’t even compare it with what it is nowadays. There wasn’t even any tooling for making watches. And to make his first and the best watch Perellet concentrated all his skill on making tools. And a bit later, after days of a constant work, he made instruments that presently play very important role in watchmaking. Some of them were spool, calendar and the crab claw wheel. So as soon as he got all the necessary things he began creating timepieces on his own.

Perellet is most prestigious watch producing companies in the world. And also this is a man who is considered to be the creator of the first automatic watch. This belief is backed almost by the every self-respecting watchmaking company on the Earth. For the second time the company emerged on the world watch market in 1995 and for a very short time managed to earn a great reputation among true watchlovers. And even then, in so to say distant 1995, a new movement presented by the company gained “Year best Movement” award.

Tissot is a Swiss watch manufacturer and a most famous company in the world of contemporary watchmaking. The company was founded in 1853 by one Swiss family. Charles-Félicien Tissot and his son Charles-Emile established the brand in Le Locle city. Impassioned and carried away by outstandingly hot spirits and also with love of horology, father and son gave a start for a great and crafty company.

During all the years of life of the Tissot Company, the establishment was charming and enthralling minds of all watchlovers across the universe. Since the very start-up this watchmaker had all kinds of skilful staff – technicians, engineers and many more – which were happy and eager to put different ideas forward and make all types of fantastic but worthy timepieces. Supported by an efficient crew of horologists, company managed to construct the first of its kind antimagnetic watch. Time went by and the company didn’t want to be satisfied with what has already been achieved and made even more of splendid timepieces: the “Rock Watch”, the “Wood Watch” and “T-touch”.

And that were not the only things in which company managed to succeed, it managed to get its name in the world of sports as well. In the beginning of 19 century the company frantically started taking part in different chief sport events: some 1938 competition in Switzerland, Davis Cup in 1957 – that’s the places where Tissot Company participated as the timekeeper of event. And that’s not all, fencing, road biking, cycling and ice hockey also became touched by the hand of the watches made by the Tissot. Timekeeping is a strong point of the company, we presume.

Beginning with 1985, the company became fixed to the Swatch Group, Switzerland. And since then the company started to be an acknowledged authority by the traders of the whole world. All the timepieces made by Tissot are being designed and produced directly at its homeland, which is facilitates the company to advertise itself as a true and firm “Swiss-made watchmaker”. The company offers a great variation of watches that can take the fancy of any, even the most inveterate and experienced wathlover, by a decent design along with firmness and quality of a building-up of timepieces.

Currently the company has outgrown into something that became even more well-know that it was before. When you think of the company, the first thing you have in your mind is their “T-Touch” specimen. And Tissot can boast not only of its grand supply of watches, but also of compasses, barometers, altimeters and thermometers and many other horology pieces. Some of their timepieces were even filmed in such movies as: The Cradle of Life and Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

For people who are pleased and even sometimes proud to have great-quality and well-looking watch wore on their hands, a choice of a watch made by Tissot Company would be a safe one. On the whole, the works of this company are considered to be high-quality good watched at an acceptable price. And last idea Tissot had in its head is to participate as a timekeeper in some really really big sport even, Olympics for an instance or something like that. By funding such renowned senstations, the brand has long come top and conquered a firm and undestroyable refuge for itself that for sure won’t be destroyed by the enemies before long.

This brand is considered to be one of the best companies in producing timepieces for those who adore diving. And after it proudly billed its first making, RM 025 timepiece, the bran revealed the second watch of this line – RM 028 which will derive a round shape of its case from the preceding model. And the case of a new model is 47mm.

Bigger size for better water resistance, because this watch can be sank as deep as 300 meters (or 1000 feet) and nothing wrong will happen with them. It has three-part case and flange capscrews what gives the watch such a good water resistance. By the way, all the lugs of RM 028 are build-in and a solid case keeps them tight under its damage-proof body.

RM 028 made of three parts which are coupled together with 22 flange capscrews. It was made in order to keep the watch from unexpected falling-off of the case because of its one-way bezel. The case of the watch is made of titanium and the bracelet made of rubber to prevent the sliding in water environment.

This timepiece provides 55 hours of reserve margin.

Tracing the RM 025, the new model was made for people who are carried away by diving, and it definitely will be not at the back foot in the world of a modern watchmaking.

In the world of nowadays’ watchmaking when some brand uses new material for making of its offsprings it’s for sure becomes a trend afterwards. The only question is who will be the first to do that. And this line of modern materials includes liquid metal alloy which is being very important at the moment. This kind of metal is a metal material with a chaotic and amorphous atomic structure, the melting temperature of it is twice as little that of the usual titanium alloy. But when it cools it becomes much harder than stainless steel. The non-crystalline structure of that metal allows its cutless attaching to the ceramic bezel. The alloy compositing involves five main compounds and they are zirconium, titanium, copper, nickel and beryllium. Because of its low speed of refrigeration a thick metal glass can easily be changed into a structure with the thickness of 1/10 millimeter. The main compound of the ceramic material and liquid metal alloy, zirconium, made of zirconium dioxide. And due to the stiffness of them, anticorrosion properties as well as a scrub resistance are promised for the bezel of this timepiece.

And the first of its kind watch that represents a mixture of these two materials, ceramics and liquid metal, is new specimen of a watch made by company and most famous watch manufacturer, Omega. A name of the new watch is not so short, but all the firmness and exquisite grace that the watch holds in itself are well represented – Seamaster Planet Ocean Liquidmetal Limited Edition.

To tell you the truth, earlier Swatch company researchers made a peculiar ceramic bezel which manages to suppress such a strong pressures and be very handy for divers. Numbers and scaling of the bezel were made of liquid metal with the help of Omega development staff. The background of their creation was black, but the whole detail looked more silvery. And the very that thing made it look so elegant. The color of a ceramic deal is perfectly combines with the color of the bezel. The 42 mm case of the watch is trimmed with speckles of stainless steel. To make watch look even much better the bracelet is also produced from the same material as the whole body of the watch. All the hour indexes along with hour hands, shaped like arrow tips, are superluminiscent. It will be far easier to read the time under reduced light conditions or even without any light at all. The dial of the watch is sheltered by the thick bowed sapphire crystal glass with anti-reflection coating on the both sides of it. Omega Co-Axial calibre 2500 built in the watch gets you 42 hours of a constant power margin. And on the top of all that the watch has an unbelievable water resistance with the depth limitation of 600 meters which is about 2000 ft.

The question gnaws us, what was the first watch to use ETA 7754 movement, and Glycine brand seemed to get ahead with that. ETA 7754 is a refined variation of 7750 movement and it has twenty-four hours indicator wagging on the pinion in the centre. The thing in which these two movements vary is that the new and refined model has a function of indication second time zone with the help of center pinion. Also a big advantage the new movement has is that the center pinion isn’t pegged to the chief hour hand.

The stamp on its back looks very pretty and completes the design, showing us the bare movement and sapphire display around it:

The watch is sold in Blu, two types of Black (Black and Silver sub-dial, Black and red subdial; all of them are at 6 o’clock) and in White colors. It’s interesting that hour sub-dial has symbols showing 24-hours system and not am-pm one. As far as we concerned, not so many other watches have that kind of thing. The watch is available at the price of $3,600 American dollars.
