The Casio WMP-1V MP3 is an interesting product. Is it a watch like every regular watch? Yes and no, depending on what you mean by a regular watch. If for you, a watch means a timepiece or any instrument that tells the time, then the answer is a big “Yes”. However, if for you it means a small unobtrusive timepiece, then it is not.

Now to another question, Is this an MP3 player? Yes, if you refer to the ability to play files in that audio format. But a big “No” if you think of a player with the capabilities of an iPod.

Time as a sparkling jewel–watches with crystal or sapphire glass cases are elegant time keepers and enduring, multi-faceted companions. Glass for watch casings however is a risky idea. Glass is renowned for being a material that is extremely sensitive to knocks or falls, shattering into shards.

Nevertheless, some watches do have glass cases. Such watches are available by Swarovski, Lalique and Baccarat, for instance–all names that are associated with glass in a legendary capacity. Lalique has now withdrawn its feminine, elegant creations and no longer offers them.

GP Pour Ferrari F1 World Champion is an automatic using the GP 3370 caliber with the GP 3300 base and ETA/D. Depraz 2021 chronograph module. This piece has approximate 42-hour autonomy. Running at 28,800vph and 11.5″, it has 63 jewels.

This beveled piece is realized and hand finished by the house’s watchmakers, and decorated Cotes de Geneve. Functions include hour, minute, small seconds and date. The chronograph has 3 counters.

What is a Watch Winder, and, are all watch winders the same?
A watch winder is a device designed to wind up an automatic watch when it is not worn by the owner; so that the watch is ready to be worn by the owner any time.
NOT all watch winders are the same. Before buying a watch winder, one should consider the following:
1. An automatic watch winder should provide the three full turning directions so that, no matter what types of watches youI have now or in the future, the watch winder will fit the specifications. The 3 turning directions are: Clockwise, Counter-clockwise, and Alternate. “Alternate” means the watch winder will automatically turn clockwise and counterclockwise alternately. Watch brands such as Rolex requires this Alternate turning mode.
2. An automatic watch winder should provide the industry standard “Turn-and-Rest” programming. That is, it should turn for a period of time, then rest for a period of time. This cycle should repeat automatically until the watch is fully, or close to fully wind up. There should be little or no human intervention required. That is, an automatic watch winder should be controlled by an IC electronic programming, to control all the above functions.
The above are the minimum requirements one should consider when buying a watch winder. Without the above functions, you might run into the risk of over-stressing your watch; and reducing the long term mechanical life of your fine timepiece.
Other factors to consider are the material used to construct the winder. Is it made of real wood, or cheap thin particle board? Not all wood are the same grade or of the same quality. Many inexpensive cheap winders are made of thin untreated particle board, which is not durable and is easily deformed or broken. If you own an expensive timepiece, it is not recommended to use those inexpensive lower quality winders.
Remember, cost should not be the only considerations when buying a watch winder . After all, you have spent hundreds or thousands of dollars invest in a fine timepiece. You should investigate thoroughly when buying a watch winder, and to make sure the winder is indeed compatible with your automatic watch, and won’t harm your watches in the long term.

Skagen Watches

Though Skagen is a comparatively new company in the watch making industry, with its unique designs, high quality and affordable price, it has been able to make its presence felt. Introduced in 1990 by two natives of Copenhagen, Denmark– Henrik and Charlotte Jorst– this brand is available at all the major departmental stores within United States and worldwide. Henrik and Charlotte Jorst came to USA in 1987 with a vision of owning and running their own business; they also strongly believed that beautiful and high quality objects can be made available at a reasonable price. Skagen watches reflect creative, elegant, and excellent craftsmanship with Danish spirit. The watches are designed by Danish designers to reflect the beauty of Skagen, a fishing hamlet in Denmark on northern tip of Jutland Peninsula. This is also the place from where this international company found its name. Skagen watches are elegant, of high quality, and technically perfect.
