Thoroughbred Style

Leave a comment

It’s a week away from the Belmont Stakes and there’s much speculation if California Chrome will take Horse Racing’s Triple Crown this year. The thoroughbred racehorse has already won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness and could be the first horse to win the Triple Crown since 1978, when Affirmed took the coveted prize.

In the past decade, seven horses: Silver Charm, Real Quiet, Charismatic, War Emblem, Smarty Jones, Big Brown and I’ll Have Another have all won both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, but came up short in the Belmont Stakes.

Precision up-to-the-second time-keeping is vital in the world of horse racing and many well-known watch brands sponsor horse-racing events around the world. Rolex, Audemars Piguet and Longines are among the popular watch sponsors.L25010836

Longines in fact is the Official Timekeeper of the Kentucky Derby. The prominent Swiss brand is also the Official Watch and Official Timekeeper of the renowned Royal Ascot Race Course, in Ascot, England where the illustrious Royal Meeting and Gold Cup Races take place every summer, usually attended by members of the Royal Family.

The brand’s equestrian heritage dates back to 1878, when it produced a chronograph pocket watch engraved with a jockey and his mount. The timepiece was widely used at racetracks and was popular with jockeys and horse lovers, since it enabled them to time performances in seconds.

Longines offers many prestigious wristwatches for men and women available at luxury retailer The Watchery. The Belle Arti Women’s Diamond wristwatch is an absolute stunner. This dazzling timepiece features an elongated, rectangular shaped case with contoured lugs in lustrous stainless steel. The highly polished multi-link stainles steel bracelet adds to the sophisticated appeal.

Forty-two shimmering diamonds, pave-set to perfection adorn the sides of the bezel. The luminous Mother-of-Pearl dial shines with blue sword hands and black Arabic hour markers. A window above the 6 o’clock hour reveals the small-seconds subdial.

Premium Swiss-made quartz movement inside assures you of time-keeping accuracy. Timepiece is 25mm wide, 7mm thick and is water-resistant to 30 meters.

Philip Stein wristwatches are among the most popular timepieces for men and women in the world of luxury watches today. Founded in 2002, the brand is celebrated today for more than its innovative good looks, signature dual time dials and interchangeable leather straps.

2MBZBREach Philip Stein watch features Natural Frequency Technology that is designed to promote better sleep, less tension, improved concentration and enhanced well-being on the individual wearing it. The brand’s founders Will and Rina Stein sought out to create a timepiece that would help the person wearing it, “live in-tune with today’s fast moving world.”

Within a year after the launch of their first timepieces,  the Philip Stein brand immediately rose to fame. In 2003, the brand was included in Oprah Winfrey’s renowned “Favorite Things,” an honor that was bestowed upon them again in 2005 and 2010.

Are You Ready To Go Automatic?

Leave a comment

Nothing says time-honored elegance and premium-crafted precision more than an automatic wristwatch. Self-winding automatic timepieces are among the most coveted styles for men and women in the world today. A true automatic or self-winding watch features a built-in mainspring mechanism that winds automatically from the natural motion of a user’s arm and provides sufficient energy to run the watch and avoid manual winding.

Abraham Louis Perrelet invented the first automatic timepiece in 1770 with a pocket watch designed to operate when the watch wearer started walking, using an oscillating weight that moved up and down. The self-winding mechanism Perrelet created was revolutionary, since mechanical watches used prior to this period required manual winding.INVICTA-12720

Outstanding automatic wristwatches from Perrelet, Maurice Lacroix, TAG Heuer, Lucien Piccard, Invicta, Tissot, Chopard, Swiss Legend, Raymond Weil, Rado, Oris, IWC, MOMO Design, red line and Seiko are showcased this week at luxury retailer The Watchery during their Automatic Watch Event.

The Invicta Bolt Reserve Automatic Chronograph in stainless steel and 18K gold plate is one of several hundred automatic timepieces featured in this week-long event. This robust men’s timepiece offers exemplary precision and design.

It features a highly-pronounced stainless steel case with an 18K gold plated crown, push-pieces and decorative accents. The strapping case is 53mm in diameter and 21mm thick. The striking stainless steel bracelet with 18K gold plated braided trim accents adds to the dynamic good looks. The exhibition skeleton caseback lets you see the intricate automatic movement inside.

Unidirectional rotating stainless steel bezel is accented with 18K yellow gold braided trim. The semi-skeleton dial features two subdials, luminous skeleton hands, a black outer dial with raised gold tone baton hour markers.

Features include a 30-minute and small-seconds register, plus the locking screw-down crown and caseback provide water-resistance to 200 meters or 660 feet.

You can also purchase an automatic watch winder during this week-long event at The Watchery for just $19.95. And you’ll be able to keep your automatic Invicta timepiece running smoothly when you’re not wearing it.
