Omega Supports Solar Powered Flight
Solar Impulse is a prototype aircraft powered by the Sun, and on a clear April day over the Swiss town of Payerne, it took its first serious test flight. Seven years in the making, the goal of the venture is to demonstrate that it is possible to fly around the world using only solar power. The top of the craft’s wings are covered with 12,000 solar cells, occupying a wingspan of 206 feet – just a few feet shorter than a 747, yet the plane weighs only about 3750 pounds. The nearly $100 million project is headed up by Bertrand Piccard, the Swiss adventurer who completed the first non-stop around the world balloon flight in 1999. His partner is Andr�� Borschberg, an engineer and fighter pilot. On Wednesday, the Solar Impulse team took the first major step toward their goal with a test flight that lasted about 2 hours, during which they achieved an altitude of about 4000 feet. Later this year, the crew will test the plane’s ability to fly at night using lithium batteries.Om

Reactor Salutes 2008 NL MVP Albert Pujols
Southern California-based Reactor, maker of durable and progressive sport watches, has designed a special one-of-a-kind Diamond Nucleus watch to commemorate St. Louis Cardinals star first baseman Albert Pujols' stellar 2008 season.

The dial design was largely inspired by the tachometer (or rev-counter) of the E-Type, as the watch featured similar fonts and red-zone between 3 and 4 o'clock.The reason I'm telling

Why couldn't the 5205R be a little bigger?
I have never been so conflicted about a watch after buying it - love dial layout and moon phase. But it wears so small. Here next to my 39mm 1815 Chrono. Even the 38mm 5396 has a bigger dial than the 40mm 5205 (but don't like the layout as much). Have a good offer to sell if I want to move on. Hate to give up a beauty but not sure I can get past the size on my 8 wrist. Advice?
