Which watch will Obama wear to the White House? Tag Heuer?
0 comments Posted by anna maria at 11:02 AM
Now that Obama has been elected the 44th President of the United States, people want to know what is it that made Obama succeed in his victory. Is it his magnetic charisma or his ability to convey his policies in an articulate manner? Is it his policies of change that won over the younger generation or is it his image?
Obama's clean-cut polished image definitely made an impression and a definite part of his image was his watch.
After much early speculation it was later confirmed what watch Obama wore on the campaign trail. The watch in question was most definitely a Tag Heuer Series 1500 Two-Tone Diver. Here Obama is in the photo above campaigning in New Hampshire with his Tag Heuer Divers Watch.
I found the same watch for sale on Ebay except with a two tone bracelet. Obama's Watch has a brown leather band. Obama seemed to have gotten the watch sometime in 1991 or 1992 and wore it for the next 15 years. A long time to wear a single watch which says something about Obama and about a Tag Heuer Watch. His Tag Heuer Watch accompanied him on the most incredible journey to the most coveted position in the entire United States, and being that Obama is but 47 years old and will be when he begins his presidency, the passage of time that was displayed on his watch, was used by Obama wisely. Very wisely.
Info about the Tag Heuer Series 1500 Divers Watch:
In 1991, Tag Heuer introduced the Series 1500 as "professional sports watches" and "first and foremost functional pieces of diving equipment"
- The Watch was available in three sizes.
- The Series was discontinued in 1998. (Maybe with all this hype - Tag Heuer should rethink the series)
- In 1991 Obama's watch would have cost $575.00
- Distinguishing features are the raised triangles on the bezel with a triangle displaying a single dot above the 12 'o'clock position.
Okay! Now I know what you thinking. You thinking that I have gotten this post all wrong. All the latest pictures have Obama wearing a large faced dark watch with white hour markers and black leather strap. For Obama's 46th birthday, on August 4, 2007, he received a gift from the Secret Service Agents who were protecting him on his Presidential Campaign - a large, black-dialed chronograph bearing the shield of the Secret Service. This watch is only available for Secret Service employees at their Secret Service Store located at their Headquarters in DC. Manufactured by Jorg Gray, the Chronograph sports a tri-compax design (24 hour indicator at the 3 'o'clock position, seconds at the 6 'o'clock position and chronograph minutes at the 9 'o'clock position) A quick set date is located at the 4:30 position. Markers and hands are luminous.
So as Barack Obama heads to the White House on the first day of his presidency, what watch will he wear? Will it be his trusty Tag Heuer who has kept time for him year in and year out? Or will it be his birthday present from the Secret Service? Or will it be a new ultra expensive watch given to him by some head of state? I have a hunch it will be the Tag Heuer. Just a hunch.
Dyson Energy Bracelet is a gadget that uses Seebeck effect to harness energy and power your mobile phones for a few precious minutes more, when you desperately need it. Lemme explain a bit: The thermoelectric effect is the direct conversion of temperature differences to electric voltage and vice versa. This typically includes three separately identified effects, the Seebeck effect, the Peltier effect, and the Thomson effect. This is coz three different guys discovered it around the same time, however Peltier–Seebeck and Thomson effects are reversible and Joule heating is not.
The designers explain:
Thanks to the Seebeck effect, the temperature difference between the surface which touch the skin and the other which is in the ambient air allows to produce electricity that is stocked in a battery. When the user needs to recharge a mobile device, he plugs it into the Dyson Energy through a micro-USB port (universal connector imposed to constructors in 2012) and can have some additional minutes in use.
Firstly, we have tested the Peltier element in its most common use: i.e. the creation of heat and coldness on the same component (Seebeck effect), and we have noticed that there was electricity production. We have met an engineer who allowed us to evolve on our project while explaining us that there was not possible to plug the elements serially. Therefore, we chose to work with only one element. As a result of many calculations, we have validated this technology payoff regarding our concept. For instance, some hours are sufficient to power its cellphone for a dozen minutes of communication.
Louis Vuitton’s Tambour watch collection has enhanced with the adjoin of the Tambour Mysterieuse, a watch made of luxury gold and steel, but still in the immediately recognizable tambour drum outline, this completely mechanical watch deals in the horological magic stuff. Calibre LV115 is another addition in this series which has been developed, created and assembled in the workshop of this brand in Switzerland. This exceptional piece can reserve 8-day power and there is nothing redundant about the mechanical movement and healthiness stands in bleak contrast to its ephemeral nature. The hour and minute indicators generally placed on completely transparent mobile sapphire discs.
I officially declare it the era of weird, whacky and un-conventional watches! Why else do think the Invisible Shot Laser Watch is here. Face of it, it’s a normal bracelet lookin thang, but press a discreet button and a laser light reflects the time on your wrist. Certainly for the night-club-hopping-teeny-boppers, who love their laser pointers.
We’ve evolved from Walkman to iPod (plus whatever else there is, let’s be honest) and from wrist watch to cellphone-held-clock. Now. What would have happened if instead of the clock merging with the cellphone, the clock merged with the music device? We’ve got wrist tunes, contact!
Let’s have a short (or long!) discussion here about the combination of things. As things stand, the most common place I find people hold their time is in their cellphone. On their portable phone! Imagine that. I couldn’t have say, 15 year ago. I wouldn’t have believed you. What if things had gone differently than they have - what if instead, time stayed on your wrist, and music went there too?
This concept is called “Tick Tack Music Watch,” and I’ve got to say it’s pretty cute. Like a bunny rabbit cute. Designer A.Tnokovski plans on marketing it to “teens” and I think he’d be right.
I’m thinking as soon as phone service becomes as “free” as internet service, we go ahead and build that in to Tick Tack 2, and we’ll be in business.

Victorinox Travel Alarm 1884 Limited Edition celebrates the Swiss Army Knife's best tricks
0 comments Posted by anna maria at 5:44 AM
Victorinox celebrates the 125th anniversary of the Swiss Army Knife with this 1884 limited-edition travel alarm clock. Just like the famous folding knives, this gorgeous timepiece uses the same steel spring mechanism, folding out with a reassuring snap.
Carrying on that clever theme, there's even a pair of tweezers and a toothpick embedded within. You'll have to wait until November to get this collector's item in your hands, and all this exquisite design and rarity doesn't come cheap — its $550.
Swiss Army Knife gets a couple of unnecessary upgrades
As the name suggests, this updated model is similar to the original Swiss Army Knife, but it adds an LCD screen that can tell you either how high up you are or how hot/cold things have gotten. Incredibly useful? Maybe in certain specific situations. But hey, that weird little hook thing has never been all that useful either, but it's there for a reason. Who are you to argue?

We never realized such beautiful watch existed, until a rich bloke comes by and drops the quid for it. This statement was in reference to the Vintage Rolex Daytona in 18kt was sold at the world’s leading watch auctioneer, Antiquorum’s Spring Geneva Auction a couple of days back. Made in 1985 and extremely rare, the wristwatch dazzles in 18kt yellow gold and features a round button chronograph
The bezel is set with 28 baguette diamonds and the dial is swathed with 240 diamonds and nine sapphires. The stunning wristwatch fetched 3,60, 000 Swiss Franks. (Approximately US$315,000 including buyer’s premium)
SoKoBe.com offers the Jaeger-LeCoultre Gyroturbillon 1 wristwatch for an exceptional price of $339,995
