The H.R. Giger Take On Watches: He Loves Swatch Watches
Though stated in 1993, I doubt H.R. Giger has changed the way he feels about watches. "I will wear a Swatch, the real thing, from the cradle to the grave." Best know for his macabre and dark industrial, future goth design style, Giger is probably most widely known for his design of the alien, in the Alien movies series. The fiendish, eye-less, dark and brooding brutal alien species is but one of a legacy of designs and characters imagined by Giger. A favorite approach of his is to take common industrial design and endow his own take on them. Fortunately for us, he has done this with the simplest of watches, the Swatch.As part of an early 1990's art exhibit, Giger used his love of the simplicity of the Swatch watch, and took it to another level.

Backstage with James Bond's watch
1. backstage Obviously, how the story should have gone is as follows:She stood in the lobby of the Astoria, having just left her Aston to the valet as I picked up my Martini from the bar. Our eyes met and she approached. I introduced myself, Bond, James Bond, can I offer you a drink?This however, is not exactly how it happened. The Astoria was a small countryside Omega AD, the Martini tasted suspiciously like a Nespresso and the pickup line went more along the lines of 01L, Nav 01L��And She as you will have guessed by now, if not from the title, is the Omega Speedmaster Professional 300m (a.k.a. the SMP).Omega has told and persists in telling us about the Bond relation of this watch. Just like they have made a speedy special edition for pretty much every mission to space humanly imaginable, they have made Bond special editions of this watch and what might be seen as its successor, the planet ocean, on every possible occasion. Hey folks, look a here! The 37.5 years since our CEO's fi

Correct way to pull the rolex crown?
Hi everyone. Was wondering if there is a correct way to pull the crown to adjust the date/time. I have a new dj 116234 and maybe am too delicate/scared to pull the crown. I can't seem to pull it in the second position (date position) very easily. I get it in the 3/4 th attempt. So I am doing something wrong? Am I supposed to use force or should it be easy? Is the crown a bit stiff since its a new watch?I use my thumb and index finger against the case to pull. Is this correct?Please help me to do it the correct way.Thanks
