Watch out : URWERK-UR202 has an innovative winding system
The URWERK- UR-202 is the most incredible creation I have ever come across. It is the world’s first wristwatch to feature an innovative new winding system which utilizes miniature turbines to compress air to regulate the self-winding mechanism of the movement. A switch on the back of the watch, lets you adjust the air pressure, passing through the turbines. The watch has AlTiN coating which protects it form shocks, oxidation and scratches. The timepiece tells time by using the telescopic minute hands, operating through the middle of three orbiting and revolving hour satellites. The watch looks truly innovative, with a slightly complicated dial.No pricing info is available as yet. Via: Urwerk
Bertrand planes Life Clock: Strictly Personal!
Usually time pieces are too common and to be talked about, but some are good enough to catch your attention for their unique design and features. Bertrand planes’ Life Clock looks like any other simple wall clock but rather than showing seconds, minutes and hours, it shows years, months and days. No, it’s not a clock that just displays a date, but its calibration is done such that it can show age of a given person. The clock’s dial is initially divided into ‘twelve’ equal parts which are marked as multiples of ‘seven’, starting from ‘zero’. These major markings represent years and each minor marking on the circular scale represent 6 days (approx.). This clock uses a normal clock machine which has been slowed down 61320 times. To look at a clock that shows how old you are can surely be depressing for many people but then this seems to be a collector’s item from Antoine de Galbert’s vault. Via: swissmiss

James Bond watches
Who would not be a fan of the cool and sophisticated James Bond? Or should I say 007? The character of James Bond introduced a new concept to menswear- power dressing. There is a famous saying in the English language- A man is known by the shoes he wears. Let me modify this statement and state that ‘A man is known by his attire’. James Bond, in all his movies, personified elegance and style. This is the reason why ‘007’ was so popular with females across the world. Introduced on big screen in the year 1962, 007 movies have always set the box-office on fire. Sean Connery was the original James Bond. Actors like George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig also played the famous ‘007’. Though I am a big fan of Mr. Connery, Pierce Brosnan has been my favorite ‘007’. Flicks like ‘Tomorrow Never Dies’, ‘The World Is Not Enough’, and ‘Die another Day’ never fail to impress me. The character of 007 not only ruled the big screen, it also invaded comics and the television. James Bond video games were also quite profitable. Known for his passion for girls and gadgets, James Bond had an immaculate dressing style. His tailored suits and stylish watches became world famous. It would be not an exaggeration to say that James Bond was the epitome of men’s fashion. James Bond, in all his movies, frequented casino resorts. He would often meet his ladylove there. The famous ‘007’ ringtone is still a hit with teenagers. James Bond movies have survived the test of time. Even today, when Daniel Craig appeared in James Bond movies such as ‘Casino Royale’ and ‘Quantum of Solace’, people around the world could not help falling in love with 007, yet again. 007 will always rule our hearts and minds. Remember the famous dialogue- I am Bond, James Bond?
