At the beginning of the last century, the watch manufacture Waltham gained a strong reputation by furnishing “mechanical horses” with clocks.
Continuing its streak of excellence, the brand is delighted to introduce its Fidalgo watch, powered by a high-end COSC-certified manually-wound movement - the Dubois Depraz 30030 calibre. Created with an automobile in mind, this watch is bound to fascinate true speed enthusiasts.
The watch movement offers the functions of hours, minutes, seconds, date, chronograph, as well as that of tachometer.
The Fidalgo watch features a case, rendered in stainless steel. On its front side it is armed with a curved sapphire crystal, treated with anti-reflective coating.
The black dial of the Waltham watch is equipped either with white sub-dials and a minute-track or white and red with black sub-dials and a minute-track. It exposes one oversized Arabic numeral and hour-markers, treated with a luminous compound. The dial is also completed with a 30-minute chronograph display, a small seconds counter and a date aperture, located at 9, 3 and 6 o’clock respectively.
The new Waltham Fidalgo watch, reviewed by Watches.InfoNIAC.com, is secured to the wearer’s wrist on a black and grey or black and red perforated buffalo leather strap, finished with a folding clasp.
The prestigious four day Rolex sponsored US Men’s And Women’s Sailing Championships was a great opportunity for the sailors to come out with best preparation and ride the waves to come out on top. The first three days saw high competition and closely fought races but weather gods played spoilsport on the fourth day with the entire day being washed out. But even the anticlimax could not take away the sheen out of the US Men’s And Women’s Sailing Championships which has close association with the best watchmaker in the world, Rolex.
The fourth day of the US Men’s And Women’s Sailing Championships didn’t begin on a high note with the rain and the accompanying lack of wind. There were some speculations as to whether there would be any races or not but finally in the afternoon the announcement was made regarding the championship. The last day of the regatta was called off and it was decided that the results till the third day would be treated as the final result. The announcement expectedly led to mixed reactions and meant that 2009 US Men’s And Women’s Sailing Championships would have two new winners.
The husband-wife duo of Ken Kleinschrodt and Amy Kleinschrodt had made a rocking start to the US Men’s And Women’s Sailing Championships and it had looked like the Rolex promoted event would see the duo emerge as champions. Though Amy Kleinschrodt was able to continue with her remarkable performances Ken Kleinschrodt could not really live up to the initial hype. Eventually the Buccaneer Yacht Club had to content with one champion only.
A total of 16 points put Amy Kleinschrodt and her yacht Buccaneer Yacht Club on the top of the table in US Women’s Sailing Championship. Throughout the regatta she and her crew were able to come out as the most consistent performer to score a place in the top three in every race. Her efforts have won her the Mrs. Charles Francis Adams Trophy. For Amy Kleinschrodt and her crew of Sara Hall and Ashley Hall the win was sweeter as is got her the Sperry Top-Sider grant which will go towards her entry fee for US Sailing’s Rolex International Women’s Keelboat championship which will be held next month in Rochester, New York.
She was followed by Natalie Coleman-Fuller in her Cathman Y.C. who managed 22 points and three wins. Her wins are same in number as Amy Kleinschrodt’s except she had couple of bad races which worked for her disadvantage.
The US Men’s Sailing Championship saw Andrew Eagan winning quite handsomely by scoring 15 points. In his efforts Andrew Eagan was supported by the crew of Bay-Waveland YC which included Charlotte Santa Cruz and his brother Marcus Eagan. For this achievement in the Rolex sponsored event Andrew Eagan was presented with the Charles D. Mallory Trophy and also the Sperry Top-Sider grant which will the entry fee for any NOOD regatta that he would want to participate in.
The three days of races at the US Men’s And Women’s Sailing Championships quite clearly showcased the values that Rolex stands for.

If you’re prepared to be confused while attempting to tell the time, then this watch will grant your wishes. The CX Swiss Military Watch - 20′000 Feet watch is pushing technology to the limits with its features. It thus could not help but appear more complicated than it really is, literally.
The CX Swiss Military Watch - 20′000 Feet watch is amazingly able to withstand submersion by over 6,000 meters, and able to resist the bottom of the ocean’s pressure equivalent to 750 kg/cm2. This is thus a watch ideal for extreme sports enthusiasts who test not only the limits of their physique, but also the limits of the devices and tools they use to continue their craft.
Any device that can resist even rifle bullets and dynamite blasts will be on the top list of any serious extreme sports enthusiasts, even by those whose professions expose them to highly risks environments.
The CX Swiss Military Watch - 20′000 Feet watch is powered by a COSC-certified self-winding ETA Calibre 7750 Valjoux movement, with 25 jewels, 48 hours power reserve and 28,800 vibrations per hour.
The watch comes in a sculpted titanium case measuring 46 mm in diameter and 28.5 mm thick. It is however pretty heavy at 365 grams, but just right for a burly person.
This is the new Twin Rotating Tourbillons timepiece that Breguet introduced during Baselworld 2009, the world’s largest jewelry and watch show. The video was shot handheld, so it is a little shaky, but you can at least get an idea of how it looks.
Each tourbillon is an independent mechanism which rotates on its own axial every 60 seconds. The two tourbillons are connected by differential gears. The differential then transmits the combined mean (average) time of the two tourbillons - allowing for even more precise timekeeping than just one tourbillon.
The double tourbillons are mounted on a plate, which couples as the dial. The plate itself rotates once every 12 hours allowing for simultaneous rewinding of the twin-barrels. The hour is displayed by a hand mounted on the bridge which connects the two tourbillons which makes 1 revolution every 12 hours.
Background: Abraham-Louis Breguet founded Bréguet watch company in 1775. Breguet watches have long been a favorite watch of royalty. In 1801 A. L. Breguet invented the tourbillon, so it is only fitting that Breguet watch company still makes the finest tourbillon timepieces, fit for royalty.
The exquisitely brilliant Rolex Day-Date belongs to the Oyster Perpetual collection of the Rolex line of regal wristwatches and lives up to its name of being perfect in its looks and workings. It is no wonder then that Rolex has been the world’s most preferred premium brand of watches for several decades now. Just Rolex’s name evokes a feeling of trust in all those investing in a Rolex watch and this trust is backed by untiring efforts on the part of the company to deliver nothing but the best to its patrons. Every Rolex watch although exclusive in its character and beauty yet has a commonality threading it all along and that is its engineering finesse. Not only does the watch has a striking design and exterior it has great functional utility and an unfaltering watch mechanism within which is sturdy, dependable and amazing.
The Rolex Day-Date like the name suggests displays not only the date of the month but also the day of the week in 26 different languages. The watch, like other Rolex timepieces comes fitted with a certified chronometer and the 36 mm radial that add to its charm. It is in the use of different hued dials and bezels that sets apart a Rolex from any other watch. These uncommon colors add much to the aesthetic appeal of a Rolex Day- Date watch. Rolex exhibits its trademark distinction with a president dial featuring Crown clasp along with a crystal sapphire to make the Day-Date a watch to treasure and keep. The self-wound watch is also waterproof to 100 meters leaving its other contemporaries far behind. Nothing takes the heart and the soul of the wearer the way the platinum and diamond finish of this watch does.
Paul Edward Haggis is a renowned Canadian-American film producer, writer and director. Starting his professional life from the Television, Paul soon graduated to Hollywood movies and has been delivering some brilliant work on the silver screen. In 2006, Paul Haggis became the first individual to have written two consecutive Oscar winning Best Picture in two years – Million Dollar Baby and Crash, making him a rage in the entertainment industry and a much sought after writer. Recently he was in the news for denouncing Scientology, which he had followed for decades. Any Rolex watch is a thing to admire and behold and is never considered by its patron as a mere time telling device but as a piece of beautiful art that is a part of their lives and has a story to tell of its own. When it comes to greatness of any watch, it is actually the smallest detail that counts the most. Any Rolex watch is exemplary in its being because the greatest detailing goes into the minutest parts of the watch.
Like Paul Haggis, Rolex also believes in delivering only brilliance. Not only is the Rolex Day-Date watch a striking beauty but also its design has been made especially for men on the move giving them the best functional use of a wristwatch. Rolex is a name to reckon with when it comes to talking about the greatest watches in the men’s watch line. It is not just any other watch, it is an precise engineering encased in a very artistic body and is a masterpiece to behold.

Any award ceremony is a special event for both stars and their fans. The first have enjoy the opportunity to prove their star status accentuating it with fashionable outfits and trendy accessories while the second have an opportunity to understand what is in fashion today and what is going to become a trend.
The recent Golden Globe awards ceremony wasn’t an exception in this sense. The celebrities not only chose fashionable and luxurious dresses and tuxedos but also eye-catching accessories as luxury watches by the most prestigious brands. For example sparkling timepieces by Harry Winston were spotted on the wrists of Fergie and her husband Josh Duhamel as well as Robert Downey Jr. who became the winner in the “Best Actor” nomination of the 67th Golden Globe awards ceremony. Robert Downey Jr. chose Harry Winston Avenue Squared to match his outfit.
Steve Carell, one of American comedy’s most popular faces and the winner of the Golden Globe and the Writers Guild of America Prize, chose the classical Chronoswiss Kairos watch to wear during the ceremony. Producer, actor and script writer Nick Cannon preferred the diamond-set watch by Audemars Piguet. And a young American actor Taylor Lautner who performed as Jacob Black in the “Twilight” movie chose IWC Portuguese Chrono Automatic watch to wear during the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.
Recognized as a formidable watch manufacturer all over the world, Rolex lends its unwavering support to numerous events. The core of the principal has always been to safeguard symbols and classics from an epoch gone by. The chief purpose of Rolex through this effort is to create attentiveness among people about the rich heritage of human ability. The Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races or popularly known as the Monterey Historics is an enormously popular event that provides a stage to classic car fanatics to showcase their cars and take part in the one of a kind races against other classic cars. The popularity of the Monterey Historic has grown tremendously and according to recent reports it about 450 classic car owners are going to register for the event. It is assumed that more than 30000 spectators will be coming to the Mazda Laguna Raceway Seca on the 14th till the 16th of August, 2009 to witness this remarkable event.
The incredible rise of the Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races has led to the increasing media coverage and surging numbers of spectators. Due to the tremendous popularity of this event many car manufacturers see this as an excellent platform for launching their cars. Fisker Automotive Company, the auto manufacturing company from Irvine is probably planning to showcase its hybrid car christened Karma at the Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races. The plug-in car, Karma will be racing around the track for two laps and will show of its prowess. Unveiled as a concept car almost 19 months ago, the Karma features a battery that gives it a 50 mile range and also features a 2 liter generator run by gasoline that adds 250 mile additional capacity to the battery. Going from zero to sixty miles per hour the Karma is a really powerful car that cuts harmful emissions tremendously. Executives and representatives of the Fisker Automotive Company claim that the plug-in hybrid car, Karma has an incredible top speed of 125 miles per hour. According to the company the Karma sedan car will be priced at a maximum retail price of just short of 88,000 US dollars while the upgraded version of this car with more features will be priced at around 104,000 US dollars. The primary purpose of a hybrid car like the Karma is to drastically reduce the amount of noxious fumes that are emitted by gasoline powered cars and consequently aid the healing process of the overburdened atmosphere.
While the Karma is aimed at developing and utilizing alternative forms of energy for fuelling a vehicle, it does not compromise on either quality or style. The streamlined and stylistic design of this incredible new car from the house of Fisker Automotives is a marvelous sight. Crafted to perfection and employing the most cutting edge technology the Karma is all geared up to be a revolution on the roads of America.
The Rolex Monterey Historics is ideally suited for launching the Karma as the event aims to celebrate icons that have played a pivotal role in revolutionizing the markets as well as perceptions.
