This timepice has captured my heart with the gorgeous dial inn dark blue when I first saw it! And I am talking about the IWC Portuguese Perpetual Calendar in limited edition, which the renowned watchmaker IWC presented in the year 2010.
This Perpetual Calendar is surely a remarkable piece of micro engineering. Comprising several hundred parts, a perpetual calendar module quite literally counts the days, taking into account the variations of days in each month. This is a watchmaking complication so intelligent that it recognises leap years, one so precise that if it is maintained it will not need adjustment until March 1st 2100 – and only then because this will be a secular year and not, as ruled by the Gregorian calendar, be a leap year.
This latest Portuguese Perpetual Calendar has been given a tasty colourway, a rich blue dial combined with an 18 carat rose gold case.
Besides, it features a slightly smaller 42.3mm case, which, yet, has been just big enough to accommodate the generously proportioned IWC Calibre 51613 with Albert Pellaton’s winding system in this case, capable of a 7-day power reserve, mechanically restricted to ensure high precision.
This is a great watch which can tell you everything you need to know — time, date, day, month, year and what the moon is doing. Moreover, it meanwhile manages to look handsome and elegant.
Presented on a black alligator strap, the IWC Portuguese Perpetual Calendar 2010 is in Limited Edition of only 100 pieces.
I don’t know how you exactly feel when you see these key chaines created by the famous fashion house of Gucci, but I want to say something to the brand, “OK. You win, again.” This time it beats me with this new collection of key chains is the shapes of animales, like whale, pig and parrot, and it has got a cute name – Gucci Zoo. I always love Gucci, but news about it is quite few. I am actually very excited to find this out. These items have captured my heart when I first saw them. Each of them is simply adorable, but personlly I love the Parrots that make up a couple. But the pig is also so cute that I just can not make a choice.
Seen from the pictures, they are rather recognizable as key chains from Gucci, due to the classic GG canvas. They have presented me with a perfect combination fo attractive colored leather and the iconic GG patterns. Have a closer look and you will find that some of them are in fact mini wallets. Being accented in pastel colors, they are perfect for the upcoming spring weather. With a logo-filled design, these leather accessories can be found in a variety of zoo-tastic shapes. Whether you wear it as a charm on your purse or use it as a wallet, these super cute and stylish Gucci Zoo Key Chains will absolutely greatly add to your charm.
Now how do you think about them? I myself just can’t wait to get one of these playful Gucci Zoo key chains!

People are fascinated by all the masterpieces from the watch brand of Breitling, and Breitling has never stopped providing surprises that have never let us down. This time Breitling introduces its flagship Chronomat 01 model in a limited collection endowed with exclusive finishing and a transparent caseback providing a fascinating view of the 100% in-house made chronograph caliber. A close-up look at elegance and top-flight performances.
This collection was first introduced in the spring of 2009, the Chronomat 01 was the first Breitling watch to house Caliber 01, a chronograph movement entirely developed and produced in the brand’s workshops. As the leading model in the Breitling collections, this instrument features the powerful character of its case, its bezel engraved with original numerals, and its distinctive combination of strength and elegance. The watch is available in a few different versions, it has established itself as the new benchmark in the field of mechanical chronographs – and indeed as the ultimate chronograph.
For those fans who collect rare and exclusive timepieces, Breitling is now offering this iconic model in a limited edition of 2,000 in steel and 200 in rose gold, all bearing the individual number engraved at 9 o’clock on the case middle. Each of them is fabulously crafted. The strong and unique design of the case, bezel and bracelet is highlighted by subtle contrasted finishing – satin-brushed on the top and polished on the sides. The black dial is adorned with applied hour-markers. Different from the standard Chronomat 01 models which are equipped with solid steel or gold casebacks, this new Breitling Chronomat 01 is distinguished by a transparent sapphire crystal caseback providing optimal views of the in-house made chronograph movement. An exceptional glimpse of this high-performance motor boasting a column-wheel, an entirely original architectural design, and assembled according to a revolutionary industrial process.
Sometimes a casual decision made in a moment can lead to masterpiece, such as the new print ad of the famous watch company Hublot. I should admit the ad is really interesting that it managed to catch me to see what the hell has happened to the man. Well, he turns out to be Bernie Ecclestone, the CEO of Formula One. It is said that he was recently mugged in London by thieves who made off with £200,000 worth of valuables including a Hublot watch that he was wearing at the time. Word is that Bernie resisted and fought back, but sustained some ugly injuries during the attack.
Not without a sense of humour, Ecclestone took a photo of himself and sent it to Hublot’s CEO Jean-Claude Biver the same day with the message, “See what people will do for a Hublot.” Then Ecclestone have decided to make the actual photo the centerpiece of a Hublot print ad. I am not sure the watch that appears on the ad is the exact one that Ecclestone was wearing, but this should be a triumph of dark humour.
The pair thought it would make an amusing if macabre, one-off advert which appeared in the Financial Times and the International Herald Tribune on December 8 and 9 respectively. The ad showed the original photo along with Ecclestone’s pithy caption. And Hublot said the advert will not be repeated.
