Some of the guests milling about the gorgeously styled grounds included famous divers, ocean explorers, a world-record holder, and various personalities from the world of watches. The view out over the deep blue Mediterranean sparkling in the late afternoon sunlight was complemented by interesting conversation. That and a vague sense of honor and awe at being invited to celebrate something that so obviously moved Blancpain CEO Marc Hayek that he and his family decided to hold its announcement at their family’s summer residence on the Côte d’Azur.http://quillandpad.com/2014/10/17/blancpain-takes-to-the-ocean-with-the-fifty-fathoms-ocean-commitment-bathyscaphe-flyback-chronograph/

Today, Longines offers a broad range of great-looking watches at attractive prices.

The first photos of Citizen’s latest addition to its Grand Touring range surfaced in spring 2014 and immediately generated quite a lot of interest among dive watch fans all over the world – which was totally understandable. After all, the watch is a bold (one might even say “chunky”) yet still somewhat elegant blue-dialed divers’ watch with an orange hand and an in-house caliber, produced by a company that can be considered a driving force not only in supplying scuba divers with (quartz) watches equipped with integrated depth meters, but in contemporary dive watches in general.http://www.watchtime.com/blog/dive-watch-wednesday-hands-on-with-the-citizen-grand-touring-sport/

Although you may wear your timepiece on a regular basis, there is always a need for a watch winder. Watch winders come in a variety of forms, but they all perform the same task: keeping your timepieces wound while not being worn. These brilliant items can be as simple as a single watch winder that can be stored in a closet, to massive floor safes or even entire rooms in a home dedicated to keeping a collection up and running.http://ourminutes.tourneau.com/watch-accessories-every-collector/
