Temption CGK205 Version 2 Watch
German brand Temption is a boutique watch maker that I like to follow. With very few new releases each year, this is one of the ultimate "in the know" brands that won't require your life savings to buy. For 2012 the main new release is a slight update/variation on the long standing CGK range. This one is called the CGK205 Version 2. Why not the CGK206? Probably just not enough new about it to go that far. I would just have called it the CGK205.5.This Version 2 is based on the CGK205 which I first covered here and then did a hands-on article with the CGK205 among other pieces here. As far as I can tell the new version has merely a new dial - which is almost a hybrid between the CGK204/205 and the earlier CGK203.Legibility on a watch like this is very high. Ever since the prominence of the Omega Speedmaster (for instance) high contrast black and white dials have made a strong case for themselves. The look of the Temption CGK range is almost like an artsy version of what Omega has popular

Introducing The Hamilton Khaki Pilot Pioneer Aluminum, A Colorful Collection Of Lightweight Pilot's Watches
The Hamilton Khaki Pilot Pioneer collection presents classic pilot's watch styles at an affordable price point, and with this new model Hamilton has brought a new material to the mix. The Khaki Pilot Pioneer Aluminum has a solid aluminum case, a first for the brand. This makes the watch extremely lightweight and a special treatment allows it to take on different colors. There are four color variations here, but all of them start with an asymmetrical design and a highly legible dial.Aluminum is a material not often found in watch cases. Even though it's very lightweight, it can be fragile if not treated properly. Here Hamilton has subjected the aluminum to a special treatment that renders it harder, more durable, and able to take on color more easily. This means you get the advantages of aluminum without having to worry about denting your case on the edge of your desk. 2 OF 3 There are four color options available – khaki green, sand, black, and navy –

Hublot Congratulates Miami Heat For NBA Championship By Giving The Entire Organization White Hot Big
The Miami Heat won the NBA Championship last week - quickly silencing all the critics of LeBron James' decision to take his talents to South Beach.? It was LeBron's first championship, and the second title for the Heat since 2006.? To celebrate this, team sponsor Hublot decided to give the entire organization watches.? But not just any watches - big, white watches.? Called the White Hot Big Bang, these Hublots are engraved on the back with the Heat logo and date of the championship.?
