Franck Muller Watches

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

The genius watchmaker known as the Master of Complications is Franck Muller from Switzerland.

Muller creations are often considered complex, yet innovative works of art.

His offerings bring together conventional Swiss styling along with a breath of fresh, modern design.

The first collection of Franck Muller watches was created in 1984 when he designed the Tourbillion wristwatch.

Originally used in pocket timepieces, the Tourbillion mechanism helped to compensate for the effects of gravity.

The gravity problem was overcome by placing the escapement within a rotating frame.

Another creation from Muller is the Curvex Tonneau, which features a unique case design that is instantly recognizable.

Along with the Curvex Tonneau and the Tourbillion, Franck Muller has added additional designs to his collection including the Casablanca, Conquistador and the Color Dreams, just to name a few.

Muller is also the force behind the World Premiers collection, introducing new, unique and complex designed timepieces annually.

The key point to the World Premiers collection is that the timepieces released will have features that don’t exist in any other watch.

Get Old but Keep Your Edge

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

Drive through Daytona Beach on A1A during Bike Week (or NASCAR) and you will see lots of old guys sporting flowing beards, tattoos, and riding Sportsters. They are edgy with attitude.

Most of them are loners who do not wear colors. They have their own edge and do not need affiliation.

They are not just bikers. Go south to Sebastian Inlet to check out the best surfing in Florida. Long boards. Short Boards. The younger guys are carving with respect for the old surfers that are treated like gurus. They move edgy on boards or sliding down a wave as body surfers.

But edgy old dudes also like their rods and custom metal. I went to St. Petersburg because there was a car show and auction. There were flames and chrome everywhere. Most of the owners, beaming with pride, were older guys – late fifties and into their sixties who were finally able to live their dreams.

Theyre edgy old dudes whove arrived.

They are fathers, grandfathers, uncles, and brothers sporting shaved heads, beards, earrings, and ponytails. But the thing they all have in common is that they do not want to die having wished they had done things instead of actually doing them.

The Accessory That Speaks For You – A Personalized Money Clip

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

A wallet, by the dictionary definition, is meant to carry currency and necessary documents like IDs and credit cards on the person. Instead it is usually filled with out-of-date visiting cards and useless slips of paper. A money clip teaches you the art of wielding Occam’s Razor to pare away all but the essential. It lets you keep ready cash and the most necessary documents on your person. Functionality aside, a personalized money clip can be your very own style statement. It is an all-occasion gift of choice which is at once high in value and low in cost.

The variety of shapes, sizes and colors is so vast that you don’t have to compromise on getting the exact money clip that you’re looking for. The standard round, square, oval, and rectangular shapes are augmented by fancy-shaped ones. Stylistically they range from the purely functional to diamond-studded beauties.

You have a choice of stainless steel, titanium, platinum, white gold, silver or gold for the personalized money clip. The personalized money clip is unequaled as a gent’s gift item. It enjoys a high image value, and is always appreciated. The real value lies in the fact that it can be personalized very easily by engraving the person’s name or monogram on it.

Are you ready to celebrate Father’s Day?

Saturday, May 23rd, 2009

Father’s Day is coming. Father’s Day was set on the third Sunday of June. Have you celebrate Father’s Day with your father every year? On Father’s Day, we need to give a present to our father. Do you have any ideas about this year Father’s Day gift? If no, you may start to prepare now.

Unfortunately, there are many Hong Kong people only pay attention to the Mother’s Day but they overlook the Father’s Day. Are you one of them? We can see a lot of advertisements about chocolate and accessories During Mother’s Day. However, Father’s Day is less important in people’s eyes.

One of the main reasons why people do so many things for mother but not father is that people have a closer relationship with mother. Fathers are usually the one who need to work hard and earn the cost of living. As a result, father has less chance to understand their children than mother.

Although there is an English word “Househusband” to show that man and woman should be equal, father is is the one who named worker rather than househusband. As we know dads are actually having harsh time, we should go something and prepare a Father’s Day surprise for him.
