Every woman should have more than 1 pair of shoes. Likewise, every
woman could use several watches. A different watch in terms of style and
function is needed for the different areas in her life.
Although
we cover only 3 watches here, these are the bare minimum. Yes, you could
wear a dress watch to work, to a formal dinner, hiking, travelling and
to the gym, but honestly, would it look right with your sweats? Is it
really appropriate for hiking? What if you scratch that thousand dollar
watch?
You could wear your heart rate monitor to the gym or for a hike, but how would it look with your evening gown?
With these 3 watches, you would have the right watch for every occasion.
1 . The Fitness Watch or Casual Watch
On your off days, when you work out, get groceries or go for a walk,
gym watches are your best bet. Casual enough for everyday use, fun
functions to impress friends with, a gym watch functions as your
personal trainer to boot. These watches are more casual. You can wear
them for a hike, when you do your groceries and so forth. It looks great
with sweats, pants, jeans and casual clothes as well as with
sportswear.
2. Office Watch or Career Watch
For business, in
the office, go for a watch by Raymond Weil or one by Omega. A Rolex is
popular with businessmen as it reeks of success. Such watches go
brilliantly with your power suit.
3. Formal Dress Watch
When
you want to look more feminine, or for times of romance, go for an
elegant dress watch. Roberto Cavalli watches
[http://www.buy-watches.net/Roberto-Cavalli-watches.htm] are stunning
dress watches for the occasions when a couture gown may be appropriate.
Even if you can't afford such a gown, a stunning watch like one of these
would make your formal gowns look even more magnificent.

Review Of The Oris Carlos Coste Chronograph LE Watch
Oris really have excelled themselves this time with the introduction
of the Oris Carlos Coste Chronograph LE Watch. Produced in partnership
with free-diving world record holder Carlos Coste, the production of the
watch has been limited to only 2,000 worldwide. I simply love this
diver's watch from Oris and would love to get my hands on one.
The first thing I couldn't fail to notice was that it is a 'lefty' timepiece; the screw-down crown and pushers are located on left side of the case! After taking this in, the next thing you couldn't fail to notice is just how big it is; the size of the case is 27 mm (1.85 inches) - it's a huge chunk of metal.
The case is made of titanium, which makes it look cool and helps to keep the weight of the Carlos Coste Chronograph down. The bezel is unidirectional. The bezel looks like the bezel you get on some of the Breitling divers watches - it's kind of thinner than normal, which means that the face of the watch is larger.
The casing is perfectly complemented by the titanium bracelet. I think its nice, simple and chunky design really offsets the watches case and dial. As you'd expect with a serious diver's watch you get an extension that can be used for when you're wearing wetsuits.
This Oris watch comes with a 4.80mm sapphire crystal top glass, which is slightly domed on the outside with an anti-reflective coating on the inside. Combined with Helium valve, the watch has a diving depth of 1000 meters.
The movement - like many Oris watches - is automatic.
Like I said, this watch from Oris is strictly limited in numbers. The case back is imprinted with the logo and signature of Carlos Coste.
But it's the dial of the Oris Carlos Coste Chronograph LE Watch that really impresses. The dial is painted black with a subtle wave pattern print. The hands are chunky and they are coated in striking Superluminova dark orange. The indices and rim of the stop watch seconds dial - at the six o'clock position - are also of Superluminova dark orange.
The dial is busy but the watch gets away with it - I think because of the massive 27 mm dial. You get a display of hours and minutes at the center, a small second at the three o'clock position with day and date display at the nine o'clock position.
The titanium combined with black dial with touches of dark orange make this Oris watch visually stunning. There's no doubt that this watch is really going to be a winner for Oris.
Do I have any reservations? Not really. Some might say that the watch is a little too big for everyday wear. But, I like wearing large watches and regularly wear my Suunto Stinger watch and my Breitling Navitimer.
If there was one tiny flaw with the Oris Carlos Coste watch it could be that the rotor is red - the trademark color of Oris. It would be so cool - and would make the watch truly special - if the rotor was in orange to match the hands and indices.

The Automatic Watch Winder
As more an more consumers continue to suck
up the finest automatic watches, the more and more watch winders are
being sold. In fact, there are some estimates that there are more than 6
million automatic watch owners in the US alone. So why are these watch
winders some important and popular?
Many of these fine automatic watches are an investment and can gain value over time, and thus there is a ever growing population of collectors. This is similar to the large art collection or sports memorabilia market. Once you purchase your first Rolex or Breitling, it can quickly become an addiction to keep adding to your collection. When this happens, the collector will quickly realize the he/she needs to purchase an automatic watch winder to preserve and maintain there ongoing collection.
The automatic watch works off a sophisticated combination of a rotor, springs, and gears. And, these gears and springs move and wind the mainspring through the perpetual motion of the wearer's wrist, the automatic watch is able to display accurate time. However, when the collector chooses to switch to another watch in their collection, the previous watch will stop in 1 to 2 days. This quickly becomes an issue for the collector as not only do they want their watch to be ready to wear and on time, but they want their gears and springs to maintain good lubrication so that the watch can maintain it's accuracy and value over time. So, in order to do this, the collector will need to purchase an automatic watch winder to duplicate the perpetual motion of the wrist.
This duplication is accomplished through a motorized device that comes equipped with an intermittent timing device and bi directional controls. That is, a motor that will move clockwise, counterclockwise, or in both directions. This is important as different watch brands will require different settings in order for the watch to display the correct time. Further, the winder will allow the user to choose different timing options so that the winder properly stops and starts. Just as your wrist is not constantly moving, the motors of the watch winder should pause and start at intervals.
Next, the collector will have to choose what type of watch winder they want, the number of watches it holds, and the price they will want to spend. The beauty, size, and quality of the watch winder is directly correlated to the price. The collector should carefully learn of the functionality and features of the winder before buying to ensure they will have a winder that comes with all the right options. If you are will to spend 5 or 10 thousand on a watch, it is certainly worth it to spend a few hundred dollars on a watch winder. Further the collector should judge how much space they will need and how may independent motors they will require so that each brand can have it's own settings.
So as you can see, the automatic watch is a precious item that demands proper care and maintenance to preserve the longevity and value of the fine timepiece. A watch winder will accomplish the majority of these needs, and it will give you a beautiful display case to show off you valuable collection.

Automatic Watch Winder And Its Characteristics
If you come across the term automatic watch
winder for the first time or if you already use one, you will find
useful the explanation of the roles of this product. Many of today's
winders have advanced circuitry and it is important to be aware of the
benefits of the technology.
First, a watch winder is a case in which you can safely store watches with sentimental and / or financial value. In this manner, they will benefit from protection from dust, steams and other particles in the air that are not safe for the components of the watches. Most boxes will have a glass window in which to view the rotating watch, while still protecting the watch from the elements.
Apart from storing the timepieces, a watch winder will also offer an adequate display medium for valuable collection pieces. That is why a great deal of emphasis attaches to the material included in the production of the winders. A classical and elegant cherry or mahogany wood box with a fine, glossy display window will highlight the value of the piece displayed inside it.
Another purpose for the watch winder is, as its name states, to wind the watches placed inside. Automatic or self-wind watches function on the principle that the movement of a mechanical rotor inside the watch winds a mainspring. This mainspring powers the watch. The energy stored in the mainspring sustains the function of the watch. This means that a watch that is not worn on a regular basis will wind down. To prevent that, you need an automatic watch winder.
Not every timepiece requires a watch winder; a common self-wind watch, worn several days a week, will have enough movement to prevent it from unwinding. Nevertheless, if you own more than one automatic watch, or if you have a precious or antique piece, this surely implies that they will wind down and have to be reset. These watches will benefit from such a device.
The automatic watch winder allows for constant winding without special action from the wearer. It works by winding the watch rotor via an electronically controlled computer program. The back-and-forth motion of the winding rotor connects to a ratchet, which automatically winds the watch. The spring drives an escapement, which consists of a lever that moves back and forth against a gear, keeping the gear moving at a specific number of times.
Programs that are more complex and try to mimic more closely the daily movements of an arm replace the already common "Turn and Rest" program. There are brands that have created automatic watch winders that function with cycles of clockwise, counter-clockwise and bidirectional movements. In addition, the best products use only smooth, delicate movements. This guarantees first class storage for the most precious timepieces.
There are many types of watch winders on the market. Some are more reliable, but also more expensive than others. It is a question of utility when choosing one of them. Not every watch needs to be stored inside an automatic watch winder. Only timepieces not worn at least several days a week, or a collection of watches, needs to be in such a case. If you need one, it is best to invest in a quality piece. It will guarantee the durability of your valuable watch.
