Nixon A140

I’ve been debating whether or not to review this Nixon A140 Watch for some time, but that debate ended as soon as I saw a friend with one.

This watch looks as sweet in real life as it does in pictures. It’s weight and sleek designed are perfectly balanced… I tried it on and it felt great!

The Nixon A140 Watch has the reliability of Japanese Movements. It comes with a Hardened Mineral Crystal , a solid Stainless Steel Double Locking Clasp, a Triple Gasket Crown, a Diamond and it’s Water Resistant up to 100M .

I checked Nixon’s Website and they have it comfortably priced at between $160 and $240 depending on the style you choose.

The Most Expensive Watches

"Though some watch companies don't make a lot of money off of their highest-end watches because of the cost of research and development, they still produce them to give their brand an ambiance of exclusivity. On the men's side, it's complications and plenty of 'em, including chronograph functions for timing laps, moon phase indicators for tracking slices of the lunar pie, and perpetual calendar functions which track days, months and even years for centuries--as if you really need a watch to tell you that.

Lately watchmakers have also begun loading their high-priced products with more useful complications, such as power reserve indicators that alert when your watch needs rewinding, or GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) functions to make it easier for travelers to keep track of multiple time zones. Invented in 1795 by Abraham-Louis Breguet, tourbillon movements have been so de rigueur on high-end watches of late they risk becoming overplayed. "There are tourbillons, and there are tourbillons," observes Morse, who notes that when less-exclusive watch brands latch onto the complication for "instant cache," they're really just "manufacturing luxury that has no soul."

If the tourbillon is bordering on overproduction, "minute repeater" functions are still on the rise. Many of the world's most expensive watches are produced in severely limited quantities--including infinitesimal editions of one--and frequently have buyers lined up long before they're finished, often at rates of just a few per year. In 1999 the most expensive watch ever sold, a 1933 gold Patek Phillipe with 24 complications, was auctioned off at Sotheby's (nyse: BID - news - people ) for $11 million.

Corum Luxury watches

Corum luxury watches stand out in that they have unique styles which are present with no other brand of luxury watch. Corum Uses Colors Rarely Seen In Other Brands of Luxury Watches

Although some watch manufacturers will use unique colors with their products, perhaps none stand out more than the color tones seen in Corum luxury watches. Unique Embellishments and Watch Motifs

Corum also adds uniqueness to their luxury watches by utilizing various embellishments and motifs not frequently seen with other luxury watch brands. Unique Shapes of the Watch Face

As opposed to the plain old version of the circular watch face, Corum has designed watches which hurdle over this usual type of watch face by using different shapes to construct the face of the watch. There are a few different Corum watch models which exhibit this type of uniquely shaped watch face.

Equilibrium Watches

Originally inspired by the artificial horizon instruments on aircraft, the watch's fine white lines provide a sense of perspective to an ever-shifting horizon. The Equilibrium watch with black electroplated case features a second hand and is available with either a soft black leather band or a black stainless steel mesh band. Unisex sized case measures 33mm (1 1/3 ").

Led Watches Design

Since the advent of electronic watches that incorporate small computers, digital displays have also been available. The digital display watch was the newest way to tell time in 500 years.

The first digital watch, a Pulsar LED prototype in 1970, was developed jointly by Hamilton Watch Company and Electro-Data. It had a red light-emitting diode (LED) display.

Watches with LED displays were popular for a few years, but soon the LED displays were superseded by liquid crystal displays (LCDs), which used less battery power and were much more convenient in use, with the display always visible and no need to push a button before seeing the time.
