Few of the Most Sought After Sports Watches for this Summer
Monday, October 5th, 2009 by macDo you know what women want? Well, the answer is ‘everything’ – from handbags to purses and jewelry to clothes, they want everything for them. But, do you know what men want? Yeah, they want women, but there is something they admire just like a gorgeous woman. What’s that? A watch, that is. There is nothing more charming and attractive for men than a beautiful watch.
Although men like to shop for all types of watches, they just can not resist the temptation of buying sports watches. It doesn’t matter if they are all that sporty or not, they simply can not resist the thought of wearing a stylish watch on their wrist. For all those men, here are few of the most amazing options of sports watches for this summer.
- · The first in the list is Rolex Yacht Master II, which is nothing less than masterpiece. This watch is fully loaded with awe-inspiring features and it is due to these features that its price is quite on the higher side. Basically, it was designed for America’s Cup-level sailors, but now it is equally popular in landlubbers. The availability of a scratch resistant ceramic bezel and a gold bracelet strap makes it even more attractive for style conscious men. Surely, it’s a perfect watch for land or sea.
- · The next in the list is Timex Expedition with Chronograph. Though it comes with amazing features, the real selling point is its affordable price. The watch was made popular by Conrad Anker, a legendary mountaineer. But, its features are also behind its popularity. For instance, the presence of digital display along with analog movement is a great feature available in this watch. So, if you’re a serious adventurer or not, the watch is just perfect for all.
- · Swiss Army Base Camp Chronograph is another great watch for this summer. With super-trendy black bracelets, and matching rubber strap, this watch has a utilitarian feel and allows you wear it in gritty outdoors and casual workplaces. So, this water resistant watch is another great option for those who think life is incomplete without some sports watches in it.
The bottom line is that men don’t mind spending top dollar on different types of watches, but they always run after sports watches, and that’s when they can consider all aforementioned options to look stylish this summer.
Primo Watches
Sunday, October 4th, 2009 by macinger84Watches, which were once commonly refer to as timepieces, are tools that we usually take for granted. Original watches were quite complicated to create due to the intricate mechanisms that are needed to produce the precise movement. Even though watches at that time were still inaccurate to some degree, they were sought after as jewelry rather than timepieces because of their beauty and high price. Advances in technology has given us digital watches that uses an integrated circuit. The end result is a cheap and accurate device that can be mass produced quite easily. This has reduced the general value of watches but not the original mechanical watches.
Today, a good mechanical watch costs a lot more because they are still considered to be pieces of art. These watches now have a designation of their own, luxury watches, as they no longer serve a purpose that cannot be served by cheaper alternatives. They now serve as a symbol of status and wealth while still giving its owner the right time of day.
Primo is a company that provides watches that follow this tradition. High quality, artisan made, pieces of art that are guaranteed to be timeless. Although, they have a lot of types of watches that suit different people and uses, their high end line is still the cream of the crop. Yes, you can get watches from well known names like Rolex, but these companies are already quite famous and they can charge as much as they want. It would probably cost you an arm, a leg, and your neck in order to purchase one of their watches. Unless you are filthy rich, those watches are not really an option. The designs of Primo watches are inspired by these very fashionable watch houses without the very high prices. What you get is an excellent watch made out of high quality materials and up to date designs that are quite affordable.
Primo watches have also begun to gain popularity and some stars have been spotted wearing them. That is just a testament to the rising image and overall quality of the products from Primo. Next time you like to look around for a new watch, visit the Primo site or its associates in order to see their collection of top quality, high end watches and see if they suite your taste. You might just be able to find a watch you like that fits your budget perfectly. And you would be the proud owner of a high end Primo watch.
Watches for different Personalities
Sunday, October 4th, 2009 by macinger84Watches has certainly become an integral part for most people’s wardrobe. No matter what we wear or we go, we always have a watch with us at all times in order to know the time and decide what we should be doing at that specific time. From being rudimentary timepieces, watches have also now evolved to the advanced devices we use today. Aside from being more accurate and stylish, watches have also become more suited to the ones using them.
The most common would be the cheap all purpose watches that serve nothing more than to tell you the time. Because they are so inexpensive, the materials used are also of questionable quality, not to mention the workmanship. These are not the types of watches that we would concern ourselves with.
There are now many kinds of watches depending on the environment and the person who is wearing it. There are watches that are meant for sporty people. These watches are designed to be tough and reliable because they are usually used outdoors and in rugged conditions. It is quite common for these watches to be shockproof and waterproof, and can even be worn while diving to certain depths. These are usually electronic to reduce the probability of damage and ensure top notch reliability. Some of these watches even include functions like heart rate monitors and temperature sensors which you can use to keep track of your body during exercise or any other physical activity.
Another type are fashion watches, which are simply watches that look good. Even telling the time has become a secondary function for these watches. These types of watches often come in lines that are either for men or women as the design could vary greatly. Models for men are usually larger and wider while fashion watches for women tend to be thin and small.
Then there are luxury watches, these are watches that are priced way beyond all the other ones as they are no longer simple timepieces. These watches are intricately made with the highest quality materials and with the best designers and craftsmen. Watches made by Rolex, Christian Dior, and other have become more than simple watches to being status symbols that people look at and think that the person wearing it is someone important. There are also alternatives to luxury watches like those made by Primo. These watches are inspired by the most prominent watch houses’ designs and are made with the best materials. The only difference between Primo watches and those that are made by Rolex is in the price. Though Primo luxury watches are still pricey, they are nowhere near the price tags that go along the high profile names like Rolex.
Charriol Watches
Friday, August 14th, 2009 by yelenaBeing one of the largest makers of the wristwatches in the entire world, Phillipe Charriol, the founder of Charriol is also one of the first few people who started creating own name boutiques. Charriol had stores worldwide, and with the advancement in technology, it is much easier now to get your hands on these luxury watches.
I am personally mesmerized by most of the watches by their unique appearance and texture of the straps. Here are three of my favorite!
Kucha
For the ladies, i greatly recommend Kucha! Notice the claw-like design on the watch face?
Inspired by the African Savannah and a sense of freedom stirring the traveler. Tawny vistas, fierce warriors and proud nations with their identity still intact. Untamed instincts intermingle with the intoxicating, mysterious power of nature. A constant struggle, a world of danger: indomitable spirits, make your move! Nature at her wildest, where life is played out in a primitive, often cruel environment – only your intuition is between you and defeat. It’s time to use your claws …
Do you know that in Swahili, “Kucha” means claws? That’s how the watch got its name!
I am amazed at how the designer get the inspiration of this watch that truly reflects the mysterious power of nature. It does look dangerous and most importantly, unique. I really like the size of the watch face. So small that it looks good even on the skinniest hands or on the bigger wrists. I guess this has alot to do with the proportion of the watch face; with the size being small and squarish and the width being thicker.
On top of this, the dial is made of pink mother of pearl, which shines at every move with femininity. Even the straps seem to glow. The watch strap is made of Nil Perch leather, a kind of extremely huge fish, with a deploying buckle that shows only a sleek piece of metal when worn. Quartz movement is used, as well as a steel case. Charriol font is also engraved on the sides of the button.
If you dont fancy pink, the white Kucha looks just as pretty too!
Actor
Kucha is meant for the ladies but this Actor is unisex.
A collection of watches, launched in 1997, immediately recognizable with a case, engineered from a solid stainless steel block, fastened by four apparent screws and an adjusting and setting mechanism adorned with a shackle.
I like the details of the watch; it really reflects on how thoughtful the designer is, how much effort is put into creating this watch, making it exclusive and different. The shackle, especially, is totally unexpected. Loving the way how classy this particular watch looks like, the contrast between the black dial and arabic silver numerals and the crocodile skin leather strap. Completed with Quartz movement and steel case, this is definitely staying with you for years!
Timeless, classy, unique, detailed, high quality. What more do you ask for? 
The Force
The Force is one of the Charriol watches Apple Bazaar is carrying. Featuring an oval dial horizontally positioned at the heart of a tonneau-shaped structure with elegantly discreet blued screws on the bezel, The Force steel watch collection expresses its sporting chic profile for females. Its other unique factor is the mother of pearl dial and contrasting colors of the numbers for both the men and the women. It’s not the usual identical couple watches you see in common shops. The male watch features prune colored numerals and the ladies in sea green.
Also, to express masculinity and femininity, the watch face for the male is made bigger and thicker in width while the ones for the females are thinner, more delicate looking and smaller in size. 
There are more than these three watches Apple Bazaar is offering under Charriol! Do click on the tab below to shop now and to view more pictures and information of Charriol watches and also, don’t forget to check out the other brands as well!

What is a Chronograph Watch?
Tuesday, July 21st, 2009 by yelena
What is a Chronograph Watch?
A chronograph is a timepiece or a watch with multiple functions; namely, timekeeping and stopwatch functions.
History of the Chronograph Watches
‘Chronos’ and ‘graph’ refers to ‘time’ and ‘writing’ in Greek. A chronograph is a time-measuring device which contains a mechanism that permits to stop at least one hand to expedite the reading of the elapsed time.
The chronograph was invented by Rieussec, a Frenchman in 1821. In fact, the only timepiece that was named Chronograph was this. It was written on the dial attached to the index. The dial may function as a stopwatch. A patent was given to him in 1822.
In the 1910s, the chronograph, also known as the stopwatch, was proposed as a wrist watch. As time passes, the popularity or these watches increased. In the early 1990s, the Swatch watch company started the production of affordable and fashionable chronographs and it was well sought after by consumers. In the recent years, almost every respectable watch company has a chronograph in its collection.
Real Chronograph
Chronographs are watches that can measure time in various ways. They can be used for one or more specific time measurements besides using it for day-to-day time keeping. To allow this, the dial has several sub dials with a scale, from which the measurements can be read. A central second hand can be started and stopped, without interfering with the continuous time.
More complicated chronograph watches have a sub register for total number of hours, often located at 6 o’clock location on the dial. This will allow it to take measurements up to 12 hours. Chronograph watches have a relatively complicated movement and this applies to even the simpler chronograph watches.
The Sporting Image
Stopwatches were used mainly by sportsmen and the military in the past. Because of their profession, they had to be able to measure the time of various events precisely. Therefore, using a chronograph was a practical choice.
In a sports event, the difference between Gold and Silver award winner is very often a matter of hundredths of a second. Mechanical watches are unable to measure this, so quartz chronographs are used.
To racing enthusiasts, a stopwatch with tachometer is very useful. A tachometer will automatically indicate the speed in kilometers per hour.
Divers have their own time piece as well. Their basic requirement is that the case is waterproof. That is why a diver’s chronograph has round pushers, a screw on crown, and a screw back case which is provided with rubber gasket-rings to keep water out. At a depth of 30 meters there is hardly any daylight penetrating, so luminescent numerals and hands on a dark dial are necessary.
The most important feature of any diver’s watch is the diving ring. This is a rotating bezel around the dial or the crystal. It is divided in minutes and often has a triangular fluorescent marking at 12. Before divers take to the water, they have calculated the time they can spend under water.
Fashion
In the present, wearing a chronograph is a matter of taste, rather than profession. The chronograph is becoming a fashion statement. However, they are also used in daily life situations like making a cup of instant noodles, which requires a rather accurate timing otherwise noodles will turn out either too turgid or too flaccid. The biggest appeal of the chronograph is probably the exciting and sportive image, as it is the watch for astronauts, car racers and pilots. These professions are known to be more adventurous.
Besides those who chose functionality or image, there is a small group of enthusiasts (collectors) that considers the movement to be the most beautiful part of the watch. You will know more about this if you have seen a chronograph watch opened.
As a rule, a chronograph is more expensive than a normal or automatic watch, due to the complexity and craftsmanship necessary for manufacturing.

Primo Watches: Chronograph and Square Collection
Thursday, July 16th, 2009 by yelenaAs mentioned in the previous post, Primo watches are contemporary fun watches which are influenced and inspired by high end watch houses.
In this post, I’m going to emphasize more on two of the more popular collections; the Chronograph and the Square collection.
Have you watched the movie, Terminator 3? The lead actor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, was wearing an Audemars Piguet Royal Offshore.
The Audemars Piguet Royal Offshore watches looks manly but it’s not only meant for the big man. It looks just as great on the ladies!
However, this particular Audemars Piguet Royal Offshore watches are retailing for more than 18k! It may look stunning but it is definitely going to burn a hole in that pocket of yours!
Primo Chronograph Collection watches inspired by Audemars Piguet Offshore watches and only retailing for over SGD400. This does not mean that Primo Chronograph Collection watches are of inferior material! The Primo Chronograph Collection watches are of stainless steel base and rubber-clad straps. Not forgetting it is water resistant too.
Primo watches have a variety of different watches in different designs and colours. This Primo Chronograph collection does come in a few other colours and one of them is bronze.
The rubber-clad straps gives the user a more sporty look and comfortable at the same time, while the steel watch face gives a more masculine touch. In addition, the buttons are not your usual circular shape too. These details brings life to the watches.
Rubber-Clad watch straps prevents watches from slipping down which I personally think is much more comfortable to wear. I wouldn’t like to adjust my watch so often.
Therefore, another watch I highly recommend is the Primo Watches Square Collection.
This collection is inspired by Cartier Santos 100.
From the Primo watches Square Collection featuring not only the rubber-clad straps, it also features on the transparent watch face from the side angle and it’s water resistant properties. Details of Primo logo engraved on the buckle of the watches and the studs surrounding the face makes this Primo Square Collection more unique and dressy. Suitable for both the men and women.
Do browse through AppleBazaar Luxury Watches for more varieties, designs and good prices! A good deal awaits you.
