Chanel J12 Marine Watch
Say hello to my new little friend. Not that Chanel let me walk away with one, but I wanted to. Call me a brand whore but I love what Chanel has done with their watches. Sure I might think twice about sporting a white one around town, but these new J12 Marine watches are pretty impressive. If you recall, the standard J12 watch looks like a dive watch. It is merely a dive "style" piece, based on the core Rolex Submariner design (with a different face of course). Now Chanel released a truer diver with 300 meters of water resistant, a more dive worthy legible dial, some interesting design features.The case is 38 or 42mm wide and in black of white. Still ceramic, the black case is bead-blasted for a matte, rather than shiny finish. Though the white version is still done with a glossy finish. Going after Blancpain's 50 Fathoms or IWC's Aquatimer, the J12 Marine has a sapphire crystal over the rotating diver's bezel. I love that look, but it is not for everyone. The case quality is very good,
Temption Cora Is One Of The Finest Female Watches I Know Of: One Rare Model Available
This is probably the first time I have ever seen ones of these watches for sale. There are perhaps a few thousand of them in the world for the entire Cora series. This diamond studded limited edition is one of only300 on the planet. I would classify the Temption Cora as a woman's watch that I wish were larger enough for me to wear, because they look so great. Temption is a German watch brand that I speak fondly of. I own a Temption CGK203 which I reviewed here. You'll notice my glowing feelings about the brand.The Cora is unlike any woman's watch I've seen before. You'll agree that it combines a certain classic and modern feel to it. Not quite as Bauhaus as most Temption watches, but it certainly shares an understated functionality. Despite the smaller 29mm size of this watch, nothing is sacrificed in making it a full-blooded mechanical timepiece. Inside is an automatic Swiss chronograph movement (an ETA 2094, smallest automatic chronograph movement), which is gold and viewable through
Vulcain Cricket Diver X-Treme Watch Is Attractive, Not Very Extreme
I would imagine that the typical watch consumer is intelligent. At least understanding words and meaning. What do you think of when you hear "extreme" or the even more extreme iteration of extreme, "xtreme?" Well I think about objects that takes a beating, and do so while functioning well. Not fancy gold watches with mechanical alarms. So while I really like the Vulcain Cricket Diver X-Treme (go ahead, picture extreme diving crickets, it is the logical thing to do), I think Vulcain's marketing team needs to hit the showers.Vulcain has been around a while, and are most known for their Cricket watches, and V-10 mechanical alarm movement. Which apparently has a very audible mechanical alarm. While an alarm may seem a simple complication, getting a good sound out of a mechanical movement is tough. Most of us are used to beeping Casio watches. While an alarm is very useful to some people, Vulcain makes some far fetched claims about the audibility of the alarm underwater. Really Vulcain? You
