Fall Style Watch - Celebrities Watches

Watches are definitely in this season. Wearing a timepiece was nearly a lost habit because really, who needs a watch when you have a cell phone? Instead of investing in practicality it’s the season to invest in fashion. And what better accessory than jewelry? - www.300watches.com
There are a few trends making appearances this Fall, so jump on board and don’t be late (pun intended).
Big and Bold – Bring on the “Bling Bling” with a bold and bulky silver watch. Manufacturers are increasing the face size of many watches to keep up with demand. Some are huge, so if you’ve got a smaller frame watch out, you don’t want to overwhelm or blind your friends.
Colorful Bands – A colorful or bright white watch can fit any wardrobe. Ideal for a casual outfit you can match them with nearly anything.
Rubber – Rubber watch bands are similar to color bands in that they can add a pop to your wardrobe. Rubber bands are all weather and are really easy to clean. Other lightweight materials, especially titanium and ceramic, are growing in popularity as well.
Fun Shapes – Sick of your usual round watch? Square faces are all the rage right now. Also big are oval and other geometric shapes.
Celebrities have already taken note of these trends and you can find examples everywhere. From Oprah, to Jessica Alba and Madonna, to Tom Cruise, they’re everywhere.
If you’re looking for a new watch there are a few things to pay attention to. First, fit. Especially if the watch is over sized make sure it’s not just too big for you. It should slide up and down your wrist slightly but not be ready to fall off.
Second, shop around. Are you looking for an investment piece or something for everyday? What brands are you looking for? What is your price range? All are important factors to keep in mind before heading to the mall.

Graham Watches History


The invention of mercury pendulum that can compensate the effects of temperature variations and, perhaps the greatest of his introductions, the deadbeat escapement around in 1715 are key milestones in the life of the horologist. His generous nature did not allow him to buy patents for his inventions allowing his inventions to be used by others. Indeed this great man died penniless. However, the British rose up to the occasion and the parliament buried the great horologist in Westminster Abbey.The Graham watches today bear the same idea of perfection that made him a byword in the watch making circles.

The range of Graham watches now available is unique in their classiness, toughness and reliability. The illustrious Foudroyante Chronograph features 40 jewels and 42 hours of reserve power. The watch which is watertight at 50 meters has an equally extraordinary mechanism. The steel Foudroyante Chronograph is presented in 3 versions with black, blue and silvered faces.Another legendary Graham watches for sale that has won the acclaim of the world is the Chronofighter. The model is a lovely blend of elegant form and functional efficiency.

The watch is equipped with a trigger liver that makes the winding easy. The British Air Force pilots during the Second World War found this trigger very handy even when they flew at heights as high as 8 km. Launched in 2000, the watch is certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute as an excellent product and is now very much sought after by watch lovers across the globe.The insatiable lure after luxury watches goads many to run after these priceless watches and for that they pay through their nose. The replica watches also look exactly like the original Graham watches and the performance also is as good as the original.

Tissot T-Touch 2


The Tissot T-Touch is Tissot’s flagship sports watch. While other models have come and gone, the venerated T-Touch with its touch-sensitive crystal and bold styling has remained constant. A few models appeared to replace the original, notably the T-Touch Expert, but nothing could quite unseat it.

Now, however, Tissot is essentially mothballing the old model and is focusing on the bold T-Touch II. This new model has a larger LCD screen, better water resistance, and more style options. But it’s still the T-Touch you know and love. But, and this is important, it has a backlight!

The T-Touch was one of the first wrist computers and it was unusually mostly because it came out of a Swiss house. To activate the functions you held down the button at 3 o’clock and then tapped the crystal at one of the points on the face. The functions included an altimeter, barometer, thermometer, and even a very unique compass that caused the hands to rotate, well, like a compass. It was the ultimate in cool to be able to activate the watch and have the hands spin around of their own accord. It was, for a time, fairly magical.

Now the T-Touch isn’t quite as magical but it’s still a cool piece of kit. The watch is quite thick and is about 47mm wide. The rubber strap is, in short, one of my favorite straps ever and the traditional orange goes well with almost nothing, which is why it’s so great. The orange strap, in short is a big thumb in the nose of fashion.

The backlight first appeared on the T-Touch Expert and adds quite a bit of value to this watch. The backlight has always been the biggest problem with the original model and this new light is a marked improvement.

The functions, barring a few additions, are the same in the T-Touch II as in the first model. You have extra time zones in this new model and you have some unique settings that allow you to set “climate zone” and hemisphere for more accurate altimeter readings. It is also a bit more water resistant with up to 100M resistance. It is obviously not a diving watch, however, simply because the sensors require access to the outside air to work.
