A. Lange & Sohne Zeitwerk Luminous Watch Review

September 3rd, 2010

Unveiled in 2009, The Zeitwerk Hand-Wound Watch by German watch maker A. Lange & Sohne turned a new page in the mechanical watch-making industry. And this year’s updated e Zeitwerk Luminous model pushes this revolution to a new high.tag heuer watches

For me, the A. Lange & Sohne Zeitwerk Luminous has two very attractive aspects. The first one is the semi-skeletonized dial that impresses everyone even at the very first glimpse. Covered by a a semi-opaque crystal, the dial tells hours and minutes via the window at 9 and 3 o’clock respectively. The well-known time bridge, crafted from PVD-coated German silver, also contains a small second subsidiary dial. Above the bridge, there sits the power reserve indicator. The second attractive part, as the watch title suggests, is the SuperLuminova application. The numerals for the hour and minutes have been coated with luminescent substance that ensure several-hour optimal time reading in darkness.

Like the original Zeitwerk, the Zeitwerk Luminous watch is driven by the Caliber L043.1. This in-house manual-wind movement, composed of 388 parts, beats at a frequency of 18,000 vph. With a thickness at 9.3 mm, it allows the case constructed in a height of just 12.6mm.

However, not like the original model that came with rose, yellow and white gold versions, the Zeitwerk Luminous is just available in platinum with a diameter at 41.9mm And this makes a very expensive luxury watch.

Since A. Lange & Sohne always stays away from mass production, it is not surprising that this watch is limited to just 100 pieces.

Review of A. Lange & Söhne Grand Lange 1 Luminous watch

September 3rd, 2010

The brand new Grand Lange 1 Luminous watch by A. Lange & Söhne makes us say “Ooh la la!” at first glimpse. Even before the brilliant Zeitwerk Luminous watch, it shines brightly. replica iwc

Not sure how many pieces this gorgeous watch will be available though, I am pretty sure that is it will be a strictly limited edition. While the regular models in Grand Lange 1 line are public lovers  since they look fantastic on any wrist as living classics in the watchmaking industry, this Luminous shows up as a unique model specially created for a small array of people who are in search of high-end luxury watches that can bring different feel to them.

SuperLuminova is an indispensable element for professional watches, such as a diver’s watch or a pilot’s timepieces. And it is a good solution for a versatile watch. But when it comes to dressy watch, its importance decreases greatly since a dressy watch is always worn on formal occasions where enough lighting is provided. That is why I said this new Grand Lange 1 Luminous watch is developed for a small group people.

Except the Superluminova that is not for everyone, the watch is 100% gorgeous for everyone. Crafted from 18-carat white gold, it has a beautiful fact that you will never get bored of.

Like other Grand Lange 1 watches, the new model housed the brand’s in-house made Caliber L901.2 hand-wound movement that is meticulously assembled and beautifully decorated by hand. The movement, with a thickness at just 5.9 mm, makes it possible to build a slim case. The watch’s white gold case, sized at 41.9mm, is just 11mm at thick, making it look adorably slim on the wrist. The movement also features plates and bridges that crafted from raw “German silver”- an alloy composed of 60% copper, 20% nickel and 20% zinc. And the brand’s patented twin mainspring barrel ensures a power reserve of 72 hours.

One Lady & Her Handbags

September 2nd, 2010

Nowadays, handbag has become ladies’ favorite. More and more women like to take their handbags wherever they go. Thus, walking on streets, we can see fashionable handbag shows. It is possible that we bump into a beautiful blond with her Dior one day and meet her with her Louis Vuitton another day. Can you guess how many handbags has she got? I don’t know the answer, but I know she has more than one. I think that it is necessary for a lady to own different handbags. Following are the reasons for my inclination.

First of all, various handbags can suit different styles of clothes–fashion, leisure, sports, etc. It is ridiculous for a lady to wear a black evening dress with a colorful canvas shoulder bag. What’s more, the colors of handbags and clothes should harmonize. But it doesn’t mean that they should be of the same color. For example, black handbag means elegance and mystery. Dressing clothes, especially evening dresses of white, blown or blue color with a black handbag reveals a lady’s noble quality. White handbag represents purity and it can go with clothes of any color.

Secondly, ladies need diverse handbags to attend different parties and meetings. At dinner parties or at balls, holding small and exquisite handbags gives people an impression of dignity, while office ladies usually take their OL style handbags on formal occasions. In daily life, leisure or fashion style handbags, such as shoulder bags and drawstring bags often accompany ladies when they hang out. Besides, travelling bags are essential on journeys as they can hold more things.

Last but not least, ladies can change handbags according to their mood. For instance, if they feel blue, handbags of bright color are the best choice psychologically, because this color will refresh them and make them feel better. In addition, frequent changes can prolong the lifespan of handbags.

In conclusion, it is necessary for a lady to own several handbags. With the improvement of people’s living standard and their pursuit of beauty, women will spend more buying all kinds of handbags.

A diamond means a lot to most of the women. It also means a lot to the manufacturers. It is one of the most valuable stones in the world. It has been used by different manufacturers in different fields after it was discovered by people. It is not only precious because of its glamour, but also because of its commercial values.

Mostly, a diamond is used in manufacturing jewelries such as necklaces, rings, earrings and so on. These jewelries are also made of valuable metals such as gold, silver, white gold etc. This makes the jewelries look glamorous and shining all the time. And they will never lose their values and charms. The values of diamonds increase by dozens or even hundreds after they have been used in manufacturing jewelries. It helps the manufacturers to earn more.

Secondly, it can be used for decoration. Everything with a diamond is luxurious and expensive. Manufacturers of furniture sometimes use it in luxurious furniture as a decoration. From here we can see the business potential of it. It is used in everything luxurious!

Even though a diamond is not used in manufacturing, the values of it increase after working over. Different shapes of a diamond such as star and heart are welcomed by many people who like it. It can be sold at very high price tag!

In fact, the market of diamonds is very competitive. The values of them are decided by the 4C’s standards: cut, color, carat, clarity. After the working over, some of them can reach the standards. From then on, they become valuable stones for decoration, jewelry manufacturing, and for other usages. And there are some people who like to collect them.

In a word, a diamond is valuable in many parts of the world. It will be used in more fields to produce luxurious and high-end products.

August 27th, 2010

The Artisan is the most well-received watch line of Angular Momentum. And new to this popular collection is a watch called Verre Eglomise Green Humming Bird Watch.

As the suggests, it is a humming-bird-themed watch. A green humming bird is beautifully reverse applied by hand on the inner side of the sapphire crystal. This is a special enamel painting that requires superb skills and tons of patience. And the effect is really fantastic on this watch – the little bird looks so life-like that we could hear its cheerful tweet.I am often amazed by similar watches from Angular Momentum.

The Most Important Thing in Buying a Purse

August 27th, 2010

A purse is very important to us because it may help us a lot in many occasions. Therefore, we must have one when we are going out. When people are buying a wallet, different people may have different standards. So what do you think is the most important thing in buying a wallet?

As far as I’m concerned, the most important thing in choosing a purse is the practicability of it. My opinion is based on the following reasons.

First of all, there is a concept in my mind. Now that we have decided to buy something with our money, buying a practical one is better than buying a beautiful but not useful one. Consequently, when I am buying a wallet, it is sure that I will value the practicability rather than value the beauty of it.

Secondly, choosing a practical wallet can save us a lot of trouble. Why? Don’t worry and let me tell you the reason. If the purse is useful, it has many layers so as to help me hold different kinds of things. For example, I can put the coins in one layer and I can put the paper money in another layer. In addition, my credit cards and photos should have their own space in the purse. If it is practical, we can use it in many occasions. In that case, it will be very easy to match my clothes and I don’t need to worry about that whether it is suitable to take the purse out in this occasion. And of course that will save me a lot of trouble and I don’t need to spend too much time on that.

Choosing and buying a wallet is not a simple matter. Since you may use it every day in the coming days, you should pay more attention to it. Everybody may have his own standard in buying a purse. As I have mentioned before, I think the practicability of the purse is the most important. Because it conforms my values and saves me much trouble.

The necessity of buying more than one bag

August 26th, 2010

There is a saying in China: the love of beauty is the natural instincts of women. Lots of women love to shop with a bag in hand. As a matter of fact, only one bag is not enough for a woman.

As a female, we need lot of things inside our bag when we shopping, Such as an umbrella, a mirror, some makeup and so on. Bag is really important to us. However, have you considered that how many bags we need? In fact, one bag is far from enough.

First of all, we need at least another one in the case that one of our bags was broken. Take myself as an example. I used to use one bag only. Once upon a time, my bag was broken, and I have to go out to buy something. It was quite awkward that I had to put my personal things in one of my friends’ bag. From then on, I realized that one should prepare at least 2 bags.

Generally speaking, bags can be defined into several kinds. For example, bags used for working; bags used for business; bags used for shopping; bags used for dinning party etc. Different bags should be used in different situation. It can be regarded as bad manner if you take a wrong bag on a certain occasion. People may think you are impolite if you take a dinning party bag to an office. A bag shows your attitude towards life and job.

Last but not least, different clothes should be suited with different bags. Most of us have clothes in different colors. If you dress yourself in bobtail, while taking with a big bag, it will look odd.

In conclusion, women need more than one bag. We need at least another bag in the case of one bag being broken; we need another bag in different cases; we need another bag to fit with our clothes.

Review of Victorinox Swiss Army Infantry Vintage Chrono

August 23rd, 2010

The Infantry Vintage Chrono Mechanical watch is a charming addition to Victorinox Swiss Army’s new watch offerings this year. It is available in three different versions: two with stainless steel case that plays contrast between polished and brushed finishing, and the other with black PVD case.

Sized at 44mm at diameter, the watch comes with a 100-meter water resistance. The dials, which are beautifully designed and balanced, remind me of some Ulysse Nardin watches. The finishing level and the texture quality of these dials really deserve the name “Victorinox Swiss Army” stamped on them. Of course, to fit with the case, each version has a slightly different dial. The difference is reflected on the details and color using. And the The “Silver” and “Olive” versions are matched with leather/rubber straps in black or brown. Covering the dial is a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating for high legibility.

Beating inside the watch is an Swiss ETA Valjoux 7750 movement with a date complication. On the dial, the date window is subtly included in the chronograph hours subdial at 6 o’clock position. And via the display case back with a mineral crystal, you can have a clear view of the movement.

The price range of the Victorinox Swiss Army Infantry Vintage Chrono Mechanical Watch is between $ 1,700 and $1,900. And personally, it is a good candidate among those entry-level mechanical luxury watches in current market. If you are ready to shift your buying habit from quartz watches to mechanical watches, it is surely a very good choice.

Review of Rolex Daytona Everose 116505

August 23rd, 2010

Being one of the most revered models in Rolex’s family and going to celebrate in 2009, the Daytona series has received yet another beautiful member, the 18kt gold Rolex Daytona Everose Ref. 116505 chronograph watch.

The Daytona, as one of the modern “complicated” Rolex watches, is considered as most popular line in Rolex family. Its balanced aesthetics is widely recognized but is still undervalued by a few, while its “complication” is a bit overvalued since it just have a chronograph complication.

Last year, Daytona welcomed its its 60th anniversary. To celebrate this big event, Rolex launched a new 18K gold Rolex Daytona Everose chronograph watch(Ref. 116505) which was a truly beautiful watch. Once it showed up, replica watch manufacturers smelt its commercial value immediately and started the copy process quickly. Nowadays, the rep market is full of rep 116505 -in different quality and price levels,though.

The 116505 is made in a stardard 40mm size. The case, crafted from 18kt rose gold , is fitted with  Triplock winding crown and Oysterlock bracelet with Easylink adjustment system.Beating inside is a COSC-certified  chronograph chronometer that has 72 hours power reserve.

Covered by a sapphire crystal that resists scratches better than normal glasses, the black dial is highly pleasing to look at. It includes three subsidiary dials: sub-hours dials at 6 o’clock, 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock respectively.

The 116505, just like all modern Daytona watches, is water resistant to 100 meters. But I wonder if any owner will swim with this $35,000 luxury watch.
