The Apple Smartwatch Arrives: Here Are the Highlights
At long last, following what feels like a years-long media build-up (because it was), Apple revealed its new smartwatch today, and it turns out that most of the rumors were right on the money, except for the name. It’s not the iWatch or the iTime, it’s simply the Apple Watch, and CEO Tim Cook said it will redefine what people expect from a watch. Here’s an overview. Apple’s Kevin Lynch demonstrates apps on the Apple Watch during the new product launch. 1.What does it look like?This watch offers almost infinitely variable looks. There are three collections: one in steel, a sports collection in aluminum, and an 18k gold Apple Edition model. There are six interchangeable straps and bracelets. It comes in two sizes, neither of which is too large. Indeed many fans of big watches may find the Apple Watch downright dainty. The watch sports a flexible Retina display protected by sapphire.

Has the Panerai bubble burst?
In the last few years Panerai has grown from a cult brand to a mainstream one and now produces so many models and variations, even a hardcore collector and enthusiast such as myself cannot even keep up. I love the little details that Panerai has done from year to year and liked how they produced limited numbers of pieces which were all rather unique in their own right (Panerai 127, 232, 249, 36 etc to name a few).
