Jaeger-LeCoultre's Auction Of A Unique Piece

Apr
19

For a good cause, namely that of the Malpelo Flora and Fauna Sanctuary, Jaeger-LeCoultre is auctioning the Prototype No1 of their Memovox Tribute to Deep Sea “LeCoultre Spécial Amérique 1959â€� commemorative edition. A divers watch with an alarm (hence the Memovox naming) that could – and still can – be used by divers to notify them that it is time to go back to the surface.

Like the original 1959 Geophysic model,the watch store, this comtemporary re-edition is water-resistant to 10 bar (100 meters) and  a plexi crystal on top. Jaeger-LeCoultre’s in-house movement caliber 956 is ticking inside.

This auction will be held on-line and bidding is open from April 18th 12:00 CET to April 21st 18:00 CET. Jaeger-LeCoultre expects that there will be a lot of competition to ‘win’ this Memovox Tribute Deep Sea Prototype.

Louis Vuitton’s Spring 2012 ad campaign is just as sugar sweet as the collection

Because I know we have so many Louis Vuitton fanatics around here,leather purses wholesale, I couldn’t resist posting these first looks at the Louis Vuitton Spring 2012 ad campaign. If you followed our coverage of the Vuitton runway show a few months ago, you probably could have guessed how this campaign would look – pale, precious and ever so sweet. The brand tapped Steven Meisel to shoot Daria Strokous and Kati Nescher in the world’s most luxurious ice cream shop, and the result fit the mood of the clothing and accessories perfectly. Check out another shot after the jump.

Seiko AirPro- The Inflatable Watch_401

Seiko AirPro: The Inflatable Watch

I was in New York for a conference last week, and I ran into a girl wearing a
big, dorky (in a cool way), very intriguing watch which turned out to be a Seiko
AirPro. I'd never seen one before, and when she told me she'd bought it in Japan,
my first thought was that it was a GSM mobile phone watch that had somehow slipped
passed my Japanese wrist technology radar. But instead of being a speaker or a microphone,
the big contraption below the face is actually a pump which
can be used to inflate a small chamber under the case to make the watch fit snuggly
against your wrist,buy wholesale designer handbags, kind of like the old Nike and Reebok basketball shoes. I'm
not exactly sure why it's useful (the girl wearing it was a designer, and I think
she was more attracted to its unique looks than its functionality), but I suppose
if you were running, or playing tennis, or otherwise engaged in the type of activity
that would send your watch bouncing up and down your arm, it might be nice to cinch
it down by pumping a little air into it.

I can't explain why, but for some reason, I liked the watch enough to do a bit
of research. I don't know if Seiko is still making the AirPro, but
I do know for a fact you won't find one at your local authorized Seiko retailer.
I found references to the Seiko AirPro as early at August of 1999, so we're definitely
talking vintage technology here. I even found references to a version which
actually spoke the time which I'm sure wouldn't get old for your co-workers and cube-mates
at all.

Features of the Seiko AirPro include:

Inflatable band. Shock resistant. Temperature tolerant to 122° Fahrenheit. Water-resistant to 100 meters, or 330 feet. Stopwatch with a resolution of 1/100th of a second, and 99 laps.

If you feel like you just have to have one of these vintage gems, I've seen a
few
crop up on eBay.

Review of the Yema YMHF0310 Diver_69

Review of the Yema YMHF0310 Diver

Yema watches recently went through a re-brand and a model lineup overhaul. With a history that dates back to the late 40′s in France, there are many watches in their past. In fact, at one time, I even owned a Yema Seaspider Auto. It was a rugged yet slim diver powered by a Seiko automatic movement, and was one of the few watches I regret selling.

The new Yema expands on its past with series of new collections (Diver, Land, Pilot, Racing, and Limited Editions) based largely on quartz movements. In this review, we will take an in-depth look at the YMHF0310 300m Diver: an all digital divers watch that focuses on practical features and a simple user interface.

Let’s start with the details:

47×15.5mm. 22mm lugs. Chrono, temperature, countdown timer, time zone, and depth meter. EL Backlight. Stainless steel case and bracelet. Digital display. Mineral glass crystal. Bidirectional bezel. High-gloss black PVD. MSRP of $695 (Watch Report readers can use the coupon code “watchreport25″ for 25% off).

My last Yema would be best described as awesome; it was a treat to wear, and definitely designed with a keen attention to detail. So how does a newer Yema compare?

The Yema 310 diver is a thoughtful and throughly useful interpretation of the modern digital dive watch. As with most dive watches these days, the Yema is large — 47mm across,yachtmaster replica, and 15.5mm tall. It’s not especially heavy (I wore it on the included rubber strap), but it will block most sleeves and cuffs. The screen is divided into a large area at the top and a lower area for additional info and current menu selection. There are four pushers enabling the feature select, stop/start/reset, and the EL backlight.

The screen is a reverse LCD with a slight greenish hue. The screen’s contrast is very good,replica watch wholesale, but not at all angles as sometimes it appears washed out. Feature controls are dead simple; the screen tells you what function you are dealing with, and buttons on the right side of the case handle starting and stopping the measure. On the main time screen, you can view the date, running seconds, and even the current temperature (this feature is likely more accurate while submerged as the temp of my wrist seemed to add a few degrees to the reading — a common problem with digital thermometers built into watches). The countdown timer, chronograph and second time zone work beautifully,swiss rolex replica,rolex yachtmaster replica, and the EL backlight is very bright.

The Yema 310 Diver comes fitted to the steel bracelet, and Yema includes a very nice fitted rubber strap in the box. After having a fair amount of trouble sizing the folded steel bracelet, I moved the Yema to the included rubber strap, which is excellent. I highly recommend the rubber strap over the bracelet which is very comparable to the bracelets included with some entry level G-Shocks; its not solid steel, so it rattles, and it uses folded steel end-links as opposed to the far superior solid variety.

I should mention that while this Yema diver includes a dive recorder, I was unable to test it as I had no opportunity to dive with the watch.

Yema is selling these direct from their website for $695 before any discounts, however they have been kind enough to create a custom WatchReport.com coupon code, so no need to pay full price. If you are interested in this or any of the other models Yema makes, use the coupon code “watchreport25″ to get a full 25% discount. In the case of the Yema YMHF0310 Diver, you get a very nicely built and thoughtfully designed digital dive watch that is easy to use and includes a very comfortable rubber strap. I really enjoyed wearing this watch, and found the feature set completely useful and totally practical.

We would like to thank Yema Watches for the review sample and discount code for our readers.

BaselWorld 2011 - Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel T

Mar
24

Perhaps it is the BaselWorld buzz,rolex gmt replica,replica rolex watch dealer, but I am really excited about the Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time (5164) timepiece. With its crown protector on the right side and correctors on the left side,replica watch, it is moving towards the legendary design of the Nautilus. This 40.8mm Aquanaut features an extra timezone (as its name implies), a day/night indicator and a date sub dial. Despite all this – useful – functionality, Patek Philippe made sure to keep the dial as clean and readable as possible.

Shot through a display under bad circumstances, this photo doesn’t do any justice to the watch of course. I advice you to hop over to the official Patek Philippe website to get a better view on the Aquanaut Travel Time.

The dial relief and ditto rubber strap are similar to those of the other Aquanaut models. The movement is the PP caliber 324 S C FUS, which is a new self-winding movement for this Ref. 5164 Patek. List price is set at $32K USD. Globe trotters and fans of stainless steel sports watches can finally travel in style.

Vacation

Sep
07

Just like Seiko Champion Harry,rolex replica watch wholesale, I am on a vacation. I’ll be visiting Los Angelos, San Francisco, Las Vegas etc. Because of the time difference of 9 hours,replica watch, my GMT-Master II will join me. The rest is safely stored (I hope) at the bank. Although I can’t imagina getting in trouble with customs (when I return) with my Rolex, I will take my Dutch warrantee card to be sure. The stories about Dutch customs are horrifying.

Anyway,replica watch, I will return in the week of September 22nd. Hopefully back with fresh ideas and great blogging material (I hope I can get some Revolution Magazines over there…)
