The Tag Heuer Mikrogirder 10000

The Tag Heuer Mikrogirder 10000 is the stylish, precise and simple to use timepiece that has revolutionized the entire watch industry. Its dramatic design, excellent choice of materials and sophisticated functions have turned it into one of the most fashionable and popular models around. This fast and efficient instrument challenges our limits by reducing isochronous error and being impervious to gravity. Out of its numerous notable accomplishments we should mention that it can precisely measure time to a phenomenal 5/10,000th of a second. The functional assets of the Tag Heuer Mikrogirder 10000 are matched only by its aesthetic qualities which include an industrial anthracite dial with a light grey and silver outer ring split into five time zones, distinctively designed and disposed counters, and a sleek black case with matching black crocodile strap.

The U-Boat Chimera

If creative innovation, contemporary style and adventurous spirit are the main qualities you appreciate in a watch then the new U-Boat Chimera is probably the best choice for you. With a distinctive design and a powerful identity, this timepiece offers an impressive set of functional qualities that recommend it for modern men with a fine taste for military inspired watches. The though appearance of the Chimera is recreated by constructing a rugged 43 mm burnished steel case with bronze screws, lugs and winding crown. The dial is dark brown and features large bronze hour markers and thick hands. At 3 o’clock there is a small date window and the brand’s name is written in over-sized white letters. The most important innovation presented by this model is the patented system for retrieval of the watch crown. Located on the left side of the case, the extra-large crown comes with a very prominent guard and pusher that can be depressed to eject the inner-crown from its recessed position. By pushing it once you can set the date and by pushing it twice you can set the time.

Each person has his own preferences, some of the best brands are known for excellence and accuracy behind each name. While preferences may change with time, we’ll have a look at what remained everyone’s favourite luxury watch names in 2015 and why!

Earlier this year, Longines treated us with a unique blend of classic and contemporary watch known as the Longines Pulsometer Chronograph. The timepiece stands out of the crowd almost immediately due to its glitzy dial and retro looks with an exotic chronograph scale. There’s a tachymeter as well to measure speed over certain distance. Design of this particular piece is adapted from 1920s with bold, crisp and contrasting colours. Blue steel hands with black and red printed dial give a stunning impression every time.

Manufacturers removed extraneous components wherever necessary, leaving clear space that makes it so elegant. A true collector’s timepiece from Longines watches is crafted from stainless steel and water resistant to a depth of 30 metres. The piece is slim enough to tuck under your shirt sleeve measuring no more than 40mm across. The brilliant combination of form and function is what provokes confidence. Colour palette of this watch is remarkable that goes well with tanned leather strap. Anti-reflective coating on sapphire crystal is a mark of genuine product.

Lacoste

A name long been associated with fashionable sportswear like 12.12 polo shirt, Lacoste also produces a fine assortment of wristwatches for people who crave comfort and style. From pure dress to sleek sports, Lacoste line has timepieces that fit with tennis court wear to a late night party downtown. While buying, consumers should recognise the many different type available and primary features

Montreal, Rio and Tokyo and other geographically inspired names are usually engraved in Lacoste watches but special editions carry exclusive numbers as well. Whether buying a piece for men or women be it casual or luxury wear, each includes a series of features that sets them apart from one another!

Carefully look at movement, presence of chronograph, water resistance and calendar. “Chronograph” refers to stopwatch function integrated to each timepiece by Lacoste.   A simple push of button would allow keeping track of time for seconds, minutes and hours. Model watches may boast calendar as well indicating date and day but this feature isn’t available with all pieces.

Swatch

2015 has been iconic for Swatch as the company introduced its first worldwide available smartwatch; Swatch Touch Zero One. The watch features a larger display as compared to other smartwatches while waging a price war against Apple because it’s approximately $160; that’s quite less as compared to functions and stunning design. Touch Zero One provides certain features to curve screen dial with a built-in backlight, side-swipe control from original designs and finger-tap function.

What makes this piece apart from the rest are “Beach Volleyball functions” like power hits, step counter and power claps. Integrated health metre app would help calculate calories burned during the game/workout and produce monthly progress report. Touch Zero One by Swatch watches is battery powered but you don’t need to charge it every night even after extensive use. In-fact, battery can last surprisingly for months.

You can add alarm, activate Bluetooth, chronograph, calendar and even reset the piece when needed just with a simple touch.

Telling More Than Time

JORD is an accessory line, focused on developing pieces made of natural materials for the modern consumer. Before we developed into JORD, we were just a group of designers and marketers who wanted to create a watch line that would appeal to a spectrum of styles and personalities. That desire really stemmed from our own selfish tendencies. In terms of fashion, our group is very diverse, and we each wanted to accommodate our own look.

With that inability to have a singular aesthetic or direction our original design process and the resulting sketches came off as more Frankenstein than high fashion. When we were discussing a way to bring more cohesion to the line we realized the most viable solution was to choose a material that, in and of itself, would be as striking as the design, regardless of the style. Our decision to create the watches using natural wood was our method of connecting the dots.

The grain offers a subtlety of pattern, and the natural finish provides a matte backdrop so we can incorporate more varied textures and tones into each design. The natural qualities of the wood are so grounding and foundational to each series that we are able to play with color and sheen on the faces without worrying about overwhelming the eye.

The wood has been critical in allowing us to create our watches for the new male consumer. Men in fashion are more confident and more individual in their style, taking classic looks and fine tuning them to fit their own personalities. Men can easily deviate from an otherwise pedestrian look by wearing a great pair of shoes, an unusual belt, or an eye catching watch.

For myself, I’ve always gravitated towards clean, simple lines, utilitarian looks, bold but not busy; a true American sportswear aesthetic. That’s why the Sully series is my go to and the two-toned black sandalwood and maple piece is my standard.

This watch has the capability to make a very simple outfit look put together. There are days where it’s all I can do to get a clean shirt and a pair of pants on – the Sully saves me on those days. I consider the Sully to be the Henley of my watch collection. The style is relaxed, but it always looks great.

Also, I think it’s worth mentioning that our Sully series is unisex, and more than once I’ve had to retrieve this off my girlfriend’s wrist. Part of what I love about quintessential American sportswear is the androgynous nature of it all – and our Sully is no exception.
