Autodromo Prototipo Watches: Modern With Retro Racing Style
The tie between wristwatches and automobiles has been well established on these pages. Often times, when a brand releases a "car" watch, it can be a somewhat tenuous tie, or it's just for a single model. With the folks over at Autodromo, however, cars are simply a way of life, and it informs each and every watch they create.Their latest models, the Prototipo and Prototipo Vic Elford, pay homage to auto racing of the 60's and 70's. This was a time when watches were truly a tool used in the cockpit of the car, allowing the driver to time laps with ease. This is done in much different ways these days of course, but that heritage lives on in this new line.For this lineup, Autodromo focused in on the Prototype Era of endurance racing (prototipo is Italian for prototype). To start with, this informed the case shape. The 42mm stainless steel case has smoothed out curves (and integrated lugs), which is intended to call to mind the curved bodies of the cars that were on the racetrack in the 196

La D de Dior Watch Has Amazing Colors
Love it or hate it, I think that this women's watch by Dior is rather beautiful. While not something I would wear as a man (duh), I enjoy looking at it a lot. Called the La D de Dior Color, the whimsical watch has a stunning assortment of colorful stones on the dial and bezel. It is hard to deny that the rainbow style look is not artistic. It is also a complex creation, requiring the detailed selection of many stones types, colors, and size. You can see more details below on that.The 38mm wide case is done in palladium (similar to platinum) and contains an LVMH group mechanical manually wound movement made by Zenith. Dior indicates that the watch can also be made in 18k white gold. Really beautiful as eye candy and as art. diorwatches-dealerTechnical Specifications from Dior:The La D de Dior - 38 mmNumbered (No. 1)Housing:Palladium white gold set with diamonds 210Crown set with diamondsBezel set Paraiba tourmalines, emeralds, tsavorite garnet, yellow sapphires, garnets spessartites, sp

Laco Watch Company - A Brand Highlight with a Family Perspective
Sometime around 1992, when I was in the seventh grade, my father presented me with the gift of a new watch. I had started in a new school, entering into a new phase of adolescence, pressed with the task of making new friends and fitting in. The watch was nothing extravagant, a simple Victorinox Swiss Army watch, grey plastic case with the classic white dial, luminous hands, enameled red bezel and a canvas strap with a leather buckle. Despite its quotidian standard, it was mine, and receiving it felt somewhat like a rite of passage, like the old-timey schoolboy who wears trousers for the first time, at last too mature for knee-socks and britches. It was also a considerable step up from the rubber Casio I had been wearing, with the sallow, miniature incandescent lightbulb inside �� the 80's had ended, after all.A few modern Laco’s that pay tribute to their pastMy father has always been a man of subdued taste, with a preference for blue jeans weathered by shop oil, white t-shirts, go
