College Survey: No Need for a Wristwatch
Born when Ross Perot was warning about a giant sucking sound and Bill Clinton was apologizing for causing pain in his marriage, members of this fall's entering college class of 2014 have never written in cursive or worn a wristwatch. In their world, e-mail is way too slow, and Russians and Americans have always been living together in space. Each August since 1998, Beloit College has released the Beloit College Mindset List. It provides a look at the cultural touchstones that shape the lives of students entering college this fall. Created by two Benoit professors, the survey was originally intended as a reminder to faculty to avoid dated cultural references, but over the years it has grown to become a catalog of the rapidly changing worldview of each new generation.This year’s survey reveals that few in the entering class know how to write in cursive, and they rarely if ever use snail mail.

Hands-On: A Critical Comparison Of The Seiko Eichi II, Laurent Ferrier Galet Micro-Rotor, And Philippe Dufour Simplicity
Seiko is associated primarily with a wide range of moderately priced and reliable watches, but surprisingly, the watchmaking division operates within the diversified conglomerate Seiko Group, whose many specialties include upscale department stores, printers, semiconductors, machine tools, and of course, watches. Seiko has deep roots in timekeeping – founder Kintaro Hattori started to produce clocks in 1892 under the name Seikosha, and in 1969, almost swept the Swiss watchmaking industry off its feet with the introduction of Astron, the first commercial quartz watch.

PO Big Blue
A little bit too much for me !

Went for the PO...bought from Mumbai!

I have to say the PO (black) really got my attention...and I got an absolutely fantastic deal here in India while visitingwith family....so, I am thrilled to have this beauty on my wrist. Quick shot taken with mobile here now....certainly has great presence and I love the clean dial...so thank you Nunny Ji....this will always be in my collection.here are the bad pics ... [apologies]:
