Cadillac Points To Luxury Watches Industry As Inspiration For 2013 XTS Car Design
[youtube youtubewatches-dealer/watch?v=RxrKyRarm4s]Much ink has been spilled when it comes to comparing wristwatches and cars, and it's an analogy I myself have drawn in articles. Most times, though, that comparison has been in one direction. ??A video we found from Cadillac shows us the comparison can actually be a two-way street.The video is really a PR bit for the design influences for Cadillac's new XTS model. While they call out other industries, it was very intriguing to hear them deliberately reference the watch industry - specifically, the luxury end of the market. Frankly, it's not a big leap to make, in either direction. Though it is interesting because historically (and still today) the watch industry very much borrows from automotive design when dreaming up new models. It is interesting to hear how the automotive industry is now in turn, looking to the watch industry.When it comes to a high-end car, we look for many of the same things we expect from a high-end watch. We exp

Hands-On: With The Girard-Perregaux Traveller Big Date & Moonphase (Live Pics & Pricing)
It's been over a year since Girard-Perregaux first introduced its Traveller collection, the line of globe-trotting inspired casual complications with which GP has long enjoyed success. Today, we are here to show one of the Travellers �C the Big Date Moonphase, now available with a grey dial. 2 OF 7 This 44mm stainless steel watch has three small complications set into the dial. The first, and most prominent is its moonphase. The moonphase on this watch is actually rather beautiful, and strikingly realistic. The image of the lunar surface is makde of mineral glass, then metalized and placed within a subtle grey to black milky way. The stars are made of silver, and one of them hides the GP logo. The board of the moonphase is satin brushed and also shows small seconds. The moonphase is accurate to within 122 years if kept wound, and there is a push adjuster at 10'clock to reset the complication if needed. 3 OF 7 Sitting just next to the moon phase is a power res

Relentlessly positive and upbeat inside out
It's such a funny opposite energy to Joy, who is literally jumping up and down. And Sadness just wants to lie down and kind of feel her feelings. And there's a beautiful moment in the film where Sadness sits down next to a character, and he's upset about something. And Joy's first instinct is to kind of distract him and cheer him up and talk over him. And Sadness sits down next to him and says, I'm very sorry that you lost something that you love. That must make you very sad. And frankly, it's like a pamphlet on how to speak about loss, because it's just someone sitting next to you and saying, I'm very sorry that you're sad and you lost something that you love, and that must be hard. The end, you know? So Sadness is like a superherlH
