Mar 15, 2007
Do you need to buy a gift for your beloved one but don't you know what to choose? You know almost every man has such kind of fear being in your situation. And it is not so strange - of course you have a desire to please her and make her happy by presenting her with an amazing and unforgettable gift. But at the same time you are afraid that she won't like it and you'll spoil her mood in such an important day for her.
You have a number of different ideas but you are not certain yet, am I right? There is only one thing you are sure she'll like - this is flowers.
But what about the rest? If you are going to present her with a cake, think twice first. You'll eat that cake with all the guests and nothing will remain. Almost the same thing will happen with perfumes - of course she'll enjoy it for some time but that's all.
So what to do then? Are you already scared? One of great options (and probably the best one) is to present her with a gorgeous jewelry piece. It is well known that women adore jewels and beautiful things to adorn themselves.
But of course that piece should also somehow express your tender attitude toward her. So look at the picture posted. The item you see is a great option of a gift for your lady - a chain with a pendant in heart shape. It is a very beautiful and original jewelry piece that can help to express your love and devotion. The piece is made of titanium - it becomes one of the most fashionable metal because it is not only very beautiful but durable as well. Moreover many people are sick and tired of boring jewels made of gold and platinum. They want something fresh and original. And in such a situation titanium jewels become very appropriate.
There is a rather wide choice of jewelry pieces made of titanium. So a heart-shaped pendant on a chain will make any girl happy. It will be an evidence of your love and passion, the best prove of your serious intentions. A cute detail of a pendant is that there is a small beautiful stone there. It can be colorless or of three colors to your choice: pink, yellow or lavender. As for me I like colorless gem most of all because I think that it greatly matches cold beauty of the metal.
But of course tastes differ and you should follow what your hearts prompts you. Omega Titanium Watches
Feb 23, 2007
Today watch manufacturers create timepieces from several durable materials. Among them there are: white, yellow and pink gold, stainless steel, platinum and titanium. The latter is a material which is not very often used in a watch. The reason for using it is that it has a high level of strength, toughness, durability, low density as well as corrosion resistance and biological compatibility.
Titanium is actively used in producing condensers and turbine blades for electric power plants. Due to its durability it is used in architecture when constructing buildings and roofs. Among the watchmaking companies that use titanium there is Omega.
Three of its most remarkable titanium watches that I would like you tell you about are: Seamater Diver Chronometer, Seamaster Chronometer and Speedmaster. I think that all three models are created for a real man, for a man of adventure, a man passionate about sports and precision.
Seamater Diver Chronometer
Seamater Diver Chronometer is a timepiece that has a titanium case and bracelet. Inside the case there's Omega's in-house movement Caliber 1120. The mechanism is a self-winding one with a rhodium-plated finish. Seamater Diver Chronometer has a 44 hours power reserve.
Its face is covered by a domed anti-reflective and scratch resistant sapphire crystal. A black dial perfectly suits the titanium case. If you though that would be all for this watch then think again since this amazing creation is also up to 300 meters water resistant.
Seamaster Chronometer
The Seamaster Chronometer includes an in-house Caliber 3310. It is a self-winding chronograph which in its turn has a column wheel mechanism. This timepiece has a 55 hours power reserve. Its face is protected with the help of a domed anti-reflective and scratch resistant sapphire crystal. Just like Seamaster Diver Chronometer this one is 300 meters water resistant.
Speedmaster X-33
Finally there's a third model that I would like to tell you about. The Speedmaster X-33, just like the previous two models this one has an in-house Omega movement, which is Caliber 1666. It is a quartz movement which ensures precision timekeeping. Speedmaster X-33 has 26 months power reserve. The water resistance is up to 30 meters. The face of the watch is protected with a domed anti-reflective and scratch resistant sapphire crystal which is present at the upper mentioned two models.
Thus you got acknowledged with three superb titanium timepieces from Omega, I really hope you enjoyed reading the provided information. Today every watchmaking company looks forward to implement some new technologies in their works so to attract new customers and the use of titanium is surely a great step for Omega to remind that it is one of the leaders is the industry of complicated timepieces.
An Original Wedding Band or an Ordinary one? What to Choose?
Jan 23, 2007
Who told you that wedding bands should obligatory be made of platinum or at least gold? Don't you think that it's a kind of stereotype and probably a demonstration of the herd feeling? Why not to be original? Why not to display your own personality in an original way?
And if you are ready for that - your wedding is one of the best options to bust stereotypes.
And I can give a great idea how to do this. It's very simple in reality. Just buy wedding rings made of titanium. And not just a simple titanium but a black one.
I am sure a great number of people will like such a cool idea. But of course it is more suitable for couples with modern views on life.
In case a man and a woman lead rather traditional way of life and are afraid of everything new and ultrafashionable I doubt they will count on such kind of wedding rings for their wedding. Most likely they will choose a traditional wedding celebration: a bride is in gorgeous white gown while a groom is in black, a great number of people, beautiful wedding cake, cute ceremony that makes all guests crying from happiness and romanticism of the moment. Of course it's not the worst variant of a wedding. But a kind of banal.
Namely for those people who prefer novelties and are not afraid of bringing something uncommon and original into their life black titanium wedding rings are meant for.
You know there is a wide range of choice of black titanium wedding bands - just choose something to your own taste.
It is possible to buy a simple black titanium wedding band or give preference to something more original and refined such as bands with beautiful inlays.
As I'm still not a very bold person I would prefer a natural grey titanium band with a black titanium inlay. As for me it looks more elegant so to say.
But of course tastes are different and each couple chooses something the best appropriate for them. Finally not the color or the material of a wedding band is
Of course even the most expensive band with super diamonds can't be a guarantee that your feeling will last for eternity. In chase of gaining more and more money people often forget about simplest but so important for each of us things. Think about it at loose hours.

Audemars Piguet - Royal Oak Concept
Dec 25, 2006
I have always been interested what power drives watchmakers towards creating new innovations and making new daring steps. Having read a lot of reviews and articles on the topic, I have found out that every new even minor step forward requires continuous research and hard work. It is often the case that the introduction of new materials for producing watch's parts offers a lot of advantages.
This is the case with Audemars Piguet's Royal Oak Concept watch. Audemars Piguet watchmakers applied titanium for producing the movement parts, bezel and folding clasp. There appeared a highly innovative watch that reflects major watchmaking concepts.
Timepiece Inspired by a Battleship
Audemars Piguet is highly appreciated for launching exclusive limited-edition timepieces. Audemars Piguet Royal Oak line comprises the brand's signature watches that are extremely popular among watch fans around the world.
Initial Royal Oak watches were inspired by the British Royal Navy’s HMS battleship with the same name from which the timepieces inherited their distinctive powerful design. The Royal Oak watch line has introduced a revolutionary concept into the world of high-end sports watches. Over time, the name of Royal Oak has become synonymous to sophisticated luxury sports timepieces.
The Royal Oak Concept watch, developed in the limited number of just 150 pieces, rightfully takes place among the most spectacular brand's creations. It took Audemars Piguet watchmakers two years to produce this horological feat characterized by advanced technological features of its movement and design. The futuristic watch is equipped with a titanium mechanical manually wound movement, tourbillon and dynamograph. The movement hand-finishing embellishes its chamfered plates, bars and bridges. One more timepiece's peculiarity lies in an unconventional power-reserve display featured through the turning barrel.
Thanks to the complex mechanism of the dynamograph the watch's owner is always aware when there comes the right time for watch winding as the dynamograph keeps the watch's mainspring within ideal winding limits.
According to some horology connoisseurs, the Royal Oak Concept watch reflects the style of the following generation of Royal Oak timepieces.
Royal Oak Concept - Signature Design Supported by Innovations
Having studied the timepieces characteristics, I have come to the conclusion that the Royal Oak Concept watch incarnates a dream of developing a timekeeper of utmost performance, technical advancement and supreme resistance. The movement reliability and irresistible aesthetic appeal are reached due to computer-assisted design and the usage of new materials.
The pure rounded case lines are underlined by the octagon-shaped bezel with eight hexagonal screws. The watch's organic shapes are strongly associated with underwater world.
Audemars Piguet has undertaken special research to choose the most suitable innovative materials for producing the timepiece's parts.
Alacrite 602 is the name of the alloy used for the case. The alloy, often applied in the sphere of aerospace, offers the advantage of exceptional resistance. Audemars Piguet watchmakers became the first to use Alacrite 602 in watchmaking. Titanium has been chosen for crafting the bezel, movement and folding clasp. Titanium is appreciated for its light weight and corrosion-resistance. The sapphire crystal caseback is presented with the kevlar strap - so the timepiece is suitable to be worn even in extreme conditions.
The movement is reliably protected from shocks and accelerations. It is also important that the presence of light-weight titanium bridges and mainplate diminishes the movement inertia and improves its sturdiness. It is possible to see the mainplate through the sapphire crystal.
Let us stop at the Royal Oak Concept watch's Dynamograph in particular. This horological invention of Audemars Piguet appeared in 2000. The Dynamograph serves for continuous indicating of the torque provided by the mainspring. The Dynamograph hand remaining in the special zone placed at 12 o’clock indicates that at the moment the movement is functioning under ideal conditions to offer optimal rate performance. If the Dynamograph hand leaves the zone, it means the movement requires winding.
Audemars Piguet developed its power-reserve indicator with cone transmission back in 1885. But only in 2000 the intricate power reserve was for the first time integrated within a wristwatch case.
The indicator of the Royal Oak Concept watch is linear. It features the gradation from 0 to 12 and is based upon the turns of the barrel. Every barrel revolution marks a period of six hours. With the help of the indicator the watch's owner is aware of the time left before the mainspring is completely unwound and the timepiece stops. When the watch is fully wound, its power reserve is 72 hours.
The tourbillon of the Royal Oak Concept is a complex and well-protected mechanism.
Two shock-absorber springs are applied for protecting from vibrations the balance of the largest size ever in a wristwatch. It is also important that the carriage's bridge comprises a titanium spring necessary for absorbing low-amplitude shocks.
The Royal Oak Concept watch is water resistant to 500 meters. Here comes one more distinctive innovation. There is crown function selector placed at 3 o'clock and a pushpiece at 4. With the help of the pushpiece the watch's wearer chooses neutral, rewinding, or time-setting function of the crown. This offers protection to the movement's joints and improves water resistance.
I'm sure you would agree that the Royal Oak Concept watch is developed to amaze by the ingenious approach of its creators and high level technological features. It is a great timekeeper for those who seek for utmost functionality and distinctive masculine design.
Piercing - Modern Fashion of Our Ancestors

Jewellery Pieces for Real Men - Pro and Contra
Dec 11, 2006
Nowadays a great number of jewellery pieces producers want to conquer the hearts of adult men. And you know, they have already succeeded in it. For the time being such jewels as titanium pendants, silver rings with diamonds, silver and golden bracelets with the engraved information about their owner are very popular among men.
Men's jewellery pieces that earlier were considered to be an attribute for rockers, rappers, homosexuals and gangsters start being popular among mass consumers. Nowadays men who like taking care of themselves want to find new ways to accentuate their individuality and one of these ways is jewellery pieces.
Jewels made of titanium become especially popular. For example Tiffany has enlarged the assortment of its production by introducing traditional watches, cufflinks, silver rings, pendants and bracelets the price of which vary from 150 to 350 dollars.
Tiffany invited several famous designers to help in stylish men's jewellery pieces creation. Such jewels are created on the basis of titanium and silver, and in some others there are even small diamonds.
The demand for Tiffany products has increased after the movie Ocean's Twelve where Brad Pitt appeared in silver pendants and cufflinks of the company. Men immediately started buying stylish Tiffany jewels. They even ask sometimes for "Pitt's jewels" in Tiffany's boutiques.
The other famous stronger sex representatives also actively advertise jewellery pieces - there are a lot of pictures of famous men wearing various jewels in different magazines.
But nevertheless jewellery items for men still form a smallest part from all jewellery produced.
But despite this fact jewellery pieces for men are the most highly grown sector of a jewellery market.
But of course not all men prefer embellishing themselves with different jewellery items. There are some men who are certain that a man with jewels looks like a Christmas tree. And probably they are right in some way.
As for me it is necessary to have the sense of proportion in everything. When a man wears a jewel or even several jewels that make a good match with each other and with a whole outfit - it is sexy.
Stylish cufflinks, rings and chains together with good and high quality clothing and good perfume can make a "burning mixture". But it's necessary not overdoing with it. Of course the same can be said about women and their passion for jewels or too bright make-up.
