Watches

You’ve probably noticed most of the watches featured in our “watch” section are high-end, super-expensive timepieces that most of us would never see, let alone own.  So I thought I’d write about a somewhat affordable watch by Gucci, I usually don’t like “fashion watches” but the Gucci G-Timeless Sport watch collection caught my eye.

I’m sure most of the hard-core watch enthusiasts that visit our site are probably going to skip this post because, well, Gucci is known for their purses and other fashion things for women, not watches.  As much of a watch snob I think I am, for some reason, I’m really drawn to these watches.  Maybe it’s the bright colors and the playful look of the watches?

I’ve never looked into BALL watches; the only things I know about them is, they’re an American company and their watches have the brightest lume in the watch industry.  BALL has teamed up with BMW to create the “BALL for BMW” watch.

The watch is said to be designed after gauges from a car with multi-layers, giving it a bit of a 3D look.  The dial does look like an automotive gauge but then again most watch dials look like gauges… well, because they’re round and have numbers on them.  I do, however, like the look of the BALL for BMW watch, if the price is right.

About a month after the launch of the Transocean Chronograph GMT watch, Breitling presents the Transocean Unitime Pilot watch.  Both of these watches look very similar, with one major difference, the Unitime features city names of the 24 major time zones, on the outer edges of the dial.

The Breitling Transocean Unitime Pilot watch is equipped with the Caliber B05 automatic movement (with 70 hour power reserve) with a patented mechanism; when the user changes time zones, turning the crown backward or forward to the local city, the watch automatically adjusts the hours hands, the city disk, the 24-hour disk, and even the date (if needed).
