Here is a cool video of a foudroyante in action. A foudroyante uses a small dial that is marked 0-8. The hand on the dial completes a sweep every second which is an elapsed time of 1/8th of second for each number.

Born Dana Elaine Owens Queen Latifah was a stage name that the multitalented actress became more famous with. Queen always known for her size was apparently a power forward on her high school basketball team. Latifah started singing before she began acting, rapping for All Hail the Queen at the young age of nineteen. In 2004 Latifah released The Dana Owens Album which featured jazz renditions. Three years later she released Trav’lin Light that received a Grammy nomination for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album in 2007. Currently the singer is working on a new album that she calls Persona.

Latifah’s talk show The Queen Latifah Show ran successfully for a couple of years before Latifah made an appearance in Set It Off. Latifah played Thelma in The Bone Collector but it was her role in Chicago as Mama that got Latifah an Oscar nomination. She played the alleged convict on the run with Steve Martin in Bringing Down The House and the film was a roaring success.

The queen won many hearts with her performance in Last Holiday. Hairspray was her next much touted musical where the actress sang, danced and acted, doing all three with equal élan. The movie fetched Latifah a lot of critical acclaim. Queen garnered her first Golden Globe and Screen Actor’s Guild Award for her role in Life Support. Queen also has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She was a presenter at this year’s Academy Awards and sang I’ll be seeing you. Latifah also penned her biography called Ladies First: Revelations of a Strong Woman and is voicing Ellie in Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.

The Rolex Day Date features the quintessential Oyster Perpetual facet that not only makes the watch water resistant but also extremely reliable in most conditions. Rolex received a Class A precision certificate from the Kew Observatory in England, a certification that is generally awarded to marine chronometers. The hermetically sealed Day Date is waterproof to 100 meters, and is crystallized in sapphire. Rolex doesn’t lose its accuracy and poise even in the worst conditions. The watch is also Perpetually self wound. The internal rotor in the watch that rotated with every movement that the watch made and the crown on the side of the dial only required occasional winding. The Rolex Day Date features a mechanism that allows it to display the day of the week in 26 different languages. It has a 39mm dial that is beautifully crafted in silver set with diamonds. The watch is an exquisite display of diamonds and yellow gold to which the bezel that is set with brilliants adds something extra. The Day Date bracelet is an Oyster special edition and also crystallized in sapphire. Both Queen Latifah and the Rolex Day Date gather their talent and their bling and bring the house down.

Why does someone aspire to be the best in any field? Because it gives the satisfaction of putting all one’s abilities to the maximum use and ensures a sense of achievement, like never before. At the bottom of all mastery lies the joy that one derives from the sense of accomplishing something. Rolex derives its sense of achievement and success from the production of the world’s most precise and beautiful watches. The initial years of Rolex began with a vision and have brought forth glory and stupendous success all because of the committed hard work and perseverance of the Rolex team. One amongst these fine watches is the Rolex Oyster Perpetual GMT Master II which is a watch for the masters of any field. It exemplifies the best craftsmanship with cutting edge Swiss watch making technology made to perfection for the benefit of all those who adore this great masterpiece.

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual GMT Master II is almost tantamount to excellence and in some ways goes beyond even that to be deservingly declared as a beyond perfection watch. This elegant watch has a 24-hour hand in addition to a 12-hour hand used for tracking different time zones simultaneously. Made from the best quality, high grade, non corrosive steel, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual GMT Master II is self-winding watch with a ceramic rotable bezel and a black dial adding to its class. It is a case in point of what unsurpassed craftsmanship and cutting edge technology can do together for the benefit of the users. Rolex has made this watch for the man of achievement with robustness and sturdy features to suit the requirements of a men’s watch.

David Chase born in New Vernon in 1945 is an American writer, producer, director of hit television series and has been in this field for more than 30 years. He has to his credit seven EMMY awards for best series, best producer, best writer, etc. Some of his famous works include shows like The Rockford Files, I’ll Fly Away, and Northern Exposure. David Chase is best known for his critically acclaimed TV series called The Sopranos which was aired consecutively for six seasons between 1999 and 2007. He is one of the most prominent figures in American television today and a big name to reckon with.

Being the best is not something unusual for Rolex and Rolex Oyster Perpetual GMT Master II only substantiates this fact. Any Rolex watch that one picks up is not just a gadgetry delight but a piece of beautiful art. When it comes to the greatness of any watch, just like the production of a great series it always depends on the smallest detail that goes into the minutest parts of the watch. The Rolex Oyster Perpetual GMT Master II comes with a certified chronometer and features an Oysterlock bracelet with an Oyster clasp and easy links. Moreover, it has the capacity of water resistance up to 330 feet much ahead of all its contemporaries. It requires nerve of steel and an immense management ability to write, direct and produce software for the television along with the pressure to do so within the time frames given. Just like a true Rolex watch, David Chase too lives up to the perfection of his profession and it echoes in his work.

Seiko does something big guns like Rolex and Omega can’t. It makes quality automatic watches with an in-house 7S26 caliber movement that sell for around $100 US. Last time I checked, the cheapest Rolex went for over $3,000 new and the cheapest Omega, a quartz model, sold for over $1,000. Although Seiko can combat the Swiss at the $1,000+ level, at $100 there is no battle between Seiko, Rolex, and Omega. The Swiss makers, for a number of reasons, can’t even join the fight.

One of my favorite Seiko models is SNX427 (pictured above). It’s a military-style watch that surprised me at first because the more I wore it the more I liked it. That doesn’t happen as often as it should, no matter how big the price tag on the watch. I paid $85 for mine, shipped from Singapore. It’s hot as a small caliber pistol.

The stock nylon strap the Seiko military is issued on looks great and is comfortable. I don’t see any reason to switch it off until it wears out, but the watch does look good on a NATO, or on a black leather strap.

Like other current Seiko 5 models, the Seiko military has a see-thru glass caseback that gives it a tall profile. I read years ago someone complain on a Japanese watch forum that the caseback is too thick, and the lugs too straight. Although I can see his position, I don’t think I agree; I like the watch just as offered. But I should add I don’t have experience with it when it had a stainless steel caseback and lower profile. The current production model is 7S26-1684. I gather from Jayhawk’s Seiko watch database that the version with a steel caseback was 7S26-3080.

I’m not sure why Seiko decided to switch from a steel caseback to a see-thru one. It could be that they did so for economic reasons — that they simply decided to make just one caseback for all Seiko 5s instead of retooling for different models. Another possibility was suggested by Alan in his review of the Seiko SUS 4S15 military and its see-thru back. Alan speculated:

There are some features which would not normally (or ever) be found in a real military-issued watch. The crystal is highly reflective flat synthetic, which could be disadvantageous in the military environment….Also, most military watches do not have the date. Finally, there is a display back! A “crystal” covers the back so the movement is visible, which is never a feature of a military watch.

This seemed to be the feature which “stuck out” the most on this watch….I never understood why this watch should have it, but….if these watches were being designed for Japanese youth, who had only known of digital watches, what better way to acquaint them with analog timekeeping and mechanical movements than to show them the very act in progress, to show them the movement? I really wonder if this may have played some role in adding a display back.

Read Alan’s full SUS 4S15 military review by clicking here.

Listed as having a 35mm case, many Seiko fans aren’t gung ho about the size. Not a problem for me, in fact, I’m not sure I’d like it as much if the case were bigger. Maybe size matters, but proportions do too. The 7S26 military hands and numerals make a good bullseye. Time is always clear with just a glance. It has excellent nighttime luminosity; no need for night vision goggles. And it’s so light on the wrist that it’s a pleasure to wear — you don’t require rest and recuperation from arm fatigue after a day’s duty with the Seiko military. Finally, the thick see-thru caseback that elevates it off the wrist adds presence.

It’s ridiculous to compare this watch, or SKX007, to a Rolex or Omega. The luxury brands have refined high-end movements and detailing Seiko 7S26-powered models lack. But those Swiss watches cost anywhere from 10 to 30 times more than the Seikos, and aren’t that much more fun to wear. At least, not for me.

Can you imagine if Omega made an $85 watch, shipped, with the Omega name on it, that was as high quality as Seiko SNX427? You can’t? Neither can I. And that is one of the unique things about Seiko. When it comes to making a good, dependable, quality $85 automatic watch with an in-house movement — Seiko can.

When a person has the ability to sing in ways that have never been thought of as possible and still retain an exquisite command over them in such a manner that it seems like this was the language of the gods that mere men like us would never understand. Rolex has the honor of supporting Cecilia Bartoli, also referred to as the queen of agility who has the incredible ability of performing both soprano and mezzo roles with absolute perfection and ease. This Italian soprano-mezzo opera singer and recitalist is renowned the world over for her incredible versatility and her astonishing interpretation of the music of Rossini and Bach. Rolex, keeping up with its rich heritage of endorsing individuals that reach the pinnacle of human achievement and form a precedent for others proudly sponsors Cecilia Bartoli as she strives to reach the epitome of human perfection.

Born in 1966 in Rome, Italy, Cecilia Bartoli was given her first music lessons by her parents who were also professional singers. The singer with an unusual timbre, Cecilia has grown to become an extremely popular and top selling opera singer of today. Known throughout the world for her vivacious and lively onstage persona Cecilia gave her first musical performance when she was just eight. Unlike most opera singers Cecilia reached her vocal maturity in her twenties while others do so in their thirties. In 1987 Cecilia gave her first performance as a professional opera singer at the Arena De Verona. The very next year she took on the role of Rosina in the Barber of Seville that was showcased at the Zurich Opera, Schwetzingen Festival and the Oper der Stadt Koln and earned her rave reviews. Cecilia was soon invited to perform at the Salzburg festival and on the French television, where she paid a tribute to Maria Callas. Cecilia focused her performance on Mozart roles like Zerlina in Don Giovanni. Working with excellent music conductors like David Barenboim, Cecilia flawlessly took on all roles and performed with such magnificence that her career soon went international. Debuting in both Opera Bastille as Cherubino in Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro and as Idamantes in Mozart’s Idomeneo, Cecilia proved to the world her exceptional talent as a formidable Rossini singer. Cecilia Bartoli’s powerful performance in the Metropolitan Opera House as Angelina in La Cenerentola resulted in the role of Angelina being associated with her. Honored with the ‘Ordre des Arts et des Lettres’ in 1995, Cecilia is counted among the legendary singers who have forever transformed the world of opera. Her album Maria that went gold in US, Netherlands and Belgium was a result of her extensive study of 19^th century repertoire and the celebrated singer Maria Malibran. Soon to receive the Leonie Sonning Music Prize in 2010, Cecilia is well known for her performance of classical music as well as lesser-known Baroque roles.

A musical genius with a reputation that is based on numerous incredibly brilliant performances, Cecilia Bartoli is an inspiration for conductors who have expanded their musical range and potential just to accommodate this singer who leaves audiences spellbound with her every note. It is not so much so Cecilia’s artistry but more so her remarkable agility that allows her to transport her sound from one different note to another in such a manner that the audience is disconcerted as well as in awe on hearing a new range of notes they never thought existed. Legends have always told tales of the power of incredible music right from Orpheus to the Sirens; Cecilia is such a tremendously remarkable performer that over the many years that will follow she will be remembered as not just a singer with incredible range but as a legend that has the ability to captivate. Rolex proudly supports this legendary performer and honors its deep-rooted tradition of recognizing brilliance and endorsing them. Forever striving to master the art of perfection Rolex identifies, associates and sponsors proficient individuals who like Rolex endeavor to master their craft and reach the zenith of individual triumph.

[ via Cartier ]

Considering last year’s incredible success of the Ballon Bleu, shows marked by his eccentric cabochon, Cartier has decided to present last spring a new version of its model, with a whirlwind. Ballon Bleu Tourbillon Volant and in between the landscape of haute horlogerie, proudly bearing the stamp of Hallmark Geneva.

Mechanical movement Manufacturer winding manual, size 9452 MC is made up of 142 pieces and 19 rubies. In a thickness of 4.5 mm, it is driven by a whirlwind driving with an indication of the second by the racket-shaped C. From a diameter of 10 lines 3 / 4, it flies at a rate of 21 600 vibrations per hour and has a reserve of 50 hours. Instead of placing the cage whirl in a traditional way, protected bridges between platinum and movement, the whirlwind of flying shows Ballon blue Cartier has been designed in order to magnify aesthetics. The cage whirlwind seems to “fly” on bridges, as weightless above the dial, more exposed to shocks that could unbalance. This choice, more aesthetic but technically risky, led the master watchmakers to pay particular attention to the design of the cage whirlwind which allows a shock resistance equivalent to that of a traditional vortex.

Why Hallmark of Geneva?

A class stamped Hallmark of Geneva meets the criteria of excellence. The care provided to finish the calibre 9452 MC allows for the sublime beauty of movement but also to maximize its lifetime and its settings:

All of its supplies steel polished angles, stretched the flanks and visible faces softened, which helps reduce friction and ensure greater sustainability movement; head screws, tigerons and faces gable were also polite.
To ensure greater longevity of components, finishing ruby was particularly careful: 19 holes are polished rubies, the cog and exhaust. Side bridge, rubies are finished mid-ice and mouldings are polished.
The spiral is determined by a sliding plate with pad-head and neck round operation watchmaking particularly sensitive to obtain a more precise centering of the spiral and therefore a better adjustment of the movement.
Everything has been implemented to reduce the maximum weight of the wheel exhaust, which reduces the impact of its inertia on setting the movement.

Specifications:

Movement: mechanical manufacture manual winding caliber MC 9452, Hallmark of Geneva, flying tourbillon showing the second by the racket-shaped C, 4.5 mm in diameter, 19 rubies, 21 600 vibrations per hour, 142 components, 50h Reserve walk

Housing: 18-carat gold, 46mm in diameter, beaded crown in 18-carat pink gold decorated with a sapphire cabochon, ice sapphire, transparent ice with sapphire

Dial: galvanic colored guilloche slate grid ajourée satin effect sun with Roman numerals, blued steel needle-shaped sword

Bracelet: brown alligator with a double loop folding setting 18-carat pink gold

Three essential conditions for obtaining the Hallmark of Geneva:

The size must be approved and certified by the office of voluntary control watches the State of Geneva, under the control of a sworn Committee composed of members appointed by the government of the canton.The movement, purely mechanical, must be at least assembled and settled in the Canton of Geneva.Each class must meet 12 criteria technical and aesthetic provided by the regulation and defining its design, features, the quality of its manufacture and its finishes.The Hallmark of Geneva, designed in the nineteenth century by a corporation threatened by the scourge of counterfeiting, is now regarded as a symbol of perfection watch. Established in the form of law in 1886, this label is probably one of the oldest professional designations, recognized both as an indication of independent origin and a guarantee of high quality.
