Former Vertu Luxury Phone Designer Joins MetaWatch For the Meta "Premium" Smartwatch
It is 2014 and guess what, the people making smartwatches are about ready for them to become mainstream. MetaWatch is going down that road with a new line of "real people friendly" smartwatches known simply as the "Meta." The real question is whether mainstream consumers are ready for it too. 2013 was the year the smartwatch made headlines. We saw the ultra indie success of watches like the Pebble, and the big boys make a serious entrance into the smartwatch market with the Samsung Galaxy Gear and the Sony Smartwatch 2. If 2013 was the year the public became aware of the smartwatch, will 2014 be the year the public actually wants to wear them?There are two major challenges for smartwatches right now.

Talk about effective and easy marketing. What a sell that is if you know a few world leaders are wearing the same watch. It is certainly a step up in value from

Corum��s Admirals Cup Legend 46 Minute Repeater Acoustica
The minute repeater in question is Corum's all-new��and appropriately named��Admirals Cup Legend 46 Minute Repeater Acoustica. What sets this timepiece apart from other minute repeaters is its use of four hammers and four gongs arranged in two sets. It uses the two sets in tandem to chime the time in chords instead of mere single notes. The result is a quality of sound that is more harmonious than the standard minute repeater.

What's your latest conquest?
Here's mine. Had it about 3 months now and so far I love it. Now I have one sports and one dress style watch. I started out all Rolex and ended up all Omega. How did that happen?
