The lord of the Swiss luxury watch industry, Tag Heuer, has come up with a wristwatch that is luxury par excellence! Aptly called ‘Diamond Fiction’ it looks too good to be true. Studded with 879 Top Wessleton (5.8 carats) VS/S1(1.1 mm), full cut, diamonds; this time-measurer, is indeed a ‘fiction’ for many of us as we can only dream about it. 54 of these gorgeous stones are specifically designed to give a digital display of the time in a royal red color by transmitting the emissions of the concealed Light Emitting Diodes. The red colored satin strap completes this epitome of aristocracy.

‘Om Ganeshaya Namah.’ Confused, why I started this article with an Indian mantra. Well, here in India, we have this tradition of taking Lord Ganesha’s name at the starting of any auspicious occasion. But my reason is a bit different. Well, we have a collection of watches from Angular Momentum and they are all Indian.

What’s so Indian about them? Actually, they feature these colorful, vibrant and detailed sketches of Indian deities. From Lord Ganesha to Goddess Lakshmi, the collection features almost everyone. So, we can be sure that the whole collection has been designed with Indian people in mind. Well, time to get stylishly religious.

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.
