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.

Cool Presents For Men Will He Like It

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

If you’re married, or have a male friend and your contemplating getting him a present you’re probably wondering what to buy him. There are many cool presents for men out there but it depends on the man. Most people would say to buy power tools but a man who is a PC technician would have little use for a power saw.

Buying a gift for a man means taking a moment to think about what he does in life for work and play. Men who work in, or like carpentry may find a new hammer or drill useful. However a 3d artist would have very little use for a hammer. It’s important to keep this in mind when buying a gift.

Guys who like electronics will certainly give off some kind of sign. They will usually be talking about the latest greatest thing, or be drooling over a new piece of hardware. If you don’t have time to listen then take a peek inside his den or workshop and see what’s there. If you open the door and there’s a tower of giant beeping plastic with lights on it then that probably means he likes electronics.

Traditionally the martini started as a gin and dry white vermouth mixture shaken or stirred together with ice, strained and then served “straight up”, without ice in a very chilled martini glass and the less vermouth, the drier the martini.

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.

Giving The Right Groomsmen Gifts

Friday, June 5th, 2009

Groomsmen gifts are a common way for the groom to show his appreciation to people who took time out to be at his wedding. It is only proper to do this as they have done their part to make your wedding ceremony a success. But without meaning to, you can goof in such a seemingly simple task.

There are some things you have to keep in mind to do the right thing in getting these gifts. For one, do not dillydally. Often, you will be hit by the realization that the wedding is just a few days away and you still have to buy the gifts.

You can get gifts a week before your actual wedding. You do not want to spend an extra $50-$75 extra as a result of your dawdling.

Still, there is no guarantee that your order will come on time. UPS and FEDEX have been known to come across problems that caused the delay of overnight packages. Your groomsmen gifts might just end up coming in one day after your wedding.
