Remi watches by Storm: A geek’s delight

Posted on January 28, 2012 by admin Leave a comment

I am a believer of the significance of chronology of time and so I believe in timeless timepieces. As far as watches are concerned, I am nuts for them. I love exhibiting my wristwatches whenever I can. You may dwell on the conclusion that I am crazy and I admit that but only n case of wristwatches. I have an avid collection of them and I never let a chance pass of buying another one. After all, TIME IS MONEY! Being a techie by nature, my hunt for complicated, tech and geeky wristwatches is always on and here is my latest find. The Remi watches by Storm, London took me by a storm seriously. They are so cool and geek. They are quite extraordinary as the hours and minutes are displayed on two adjacent rotating discs. The discs seem invisible under the colored glass. The most stylish is the display of seconds, which appear in the form of a rotating color pattern, just in the middle of the watch. The watch is made of stainless steel and the glass face is scratch resistant, thus making the piece once again timeless. I liked the brand written on the band. Another important point is that the piece is available in a lot many colors. However, please note that the astonishing creation is for men only and thus, you can stick with these only if you wanna gift them to your boyfriends or father. Even I am planning to do the same. Be stylish! Source: Technabob

Tancher develops latest wristwatch beacon technology

Posted on January 28, 2012 by admin Leave a comment

The Tancher Eelectronics company is a business that sticks to it’s word. The newly invented lifesaving wristwatch mounted beacon, can save your butt in case of an emergency. This wristwatch might be the fine line between life and death. This is basically meant for professional sportsmen and women as well as rescue people like ski patrols and lifeguards. So if you are a skier or a boarder, or even a surfer, this watch can prove handy. Developed by the Russian electronic firm, this beacon was part of the ‘social safety initiative project’ (TESSI) that was undertaken this spring. These beacons can also be used as USB devices and flash memory. Just because this is part of some social project , please don’t undermine the other aspects related to the product. The little red band like wristwatch looks pretty cool. In order to increase global awareness as well as serve it’s duty towards the society, the Russian company will give away it’s expertise and designs free of charge. Although, this sounds like some crazy marketing scheme, I think the cause is legit. Here’s the appeal from Tancher: We appeal to electronics designers and manufacturers as well as to governments and social organizations to make use of scientific and technological progress not only to improve the quality of life, but also to help protect and save lives. The Electronics firm also claims that the beacons like these will prove handy in case of terrorist attacks, man made as well as other natural disasters. The unavailability of products like these cause loss of human lives in emergency situations throughout the world. Even though I am still a little skeptical about the project, I still think it is a great endeavor by Tancher Electronics. Image Credits: Tancher
