What's hot and what's not - get clued up about current trends with our spot-on measure of the style atmosphere
LOVING... Tartan and checks
Balenciaga, Burberry Prorsum, Marc Jacobs – all the top designers are hooked on plaids this autumn. Don't go overboard, keep tones earthy and understated and opt for fine checked blouses or sexy mini-kilts

EMBRACING... riding boots
This season the hottest boots on the street are equestrian inspired. Make sure heels are low and covet only those with plenty of zips, buttons and buckles. Giddy up!
LIKING... trouser suits
Tomboys rejoice - the trouser suit is back - and there's nothing girly about it whatsoever. We're talking boyfriend-style trousers, '40s inspired jackets and brogues

SO LONG... stilettos
It's time to push those sky-high stilettos to the back of the cupboard, ladies, because from now on, it's all about wedges, chunky platforms or manly boots. Get the heel out of here!
GOODBYE... hipsters
They may be more flattering – but since when has fashion been about making us look good? It's time to start buying those old, mumsy-type, high-waisted trousers again… joy
CLEAR OFF... skinny ribs
Bleurgh! Put those unsightly things away, will you? Eat some flipping cakes or something – we can't stand it any more. Curves are normal, they are good, they are healthy – visibly protruding ribs however, are not

Why Every Man Should Own A High Quality Fine Watch
Tuesday, September 12, 2006

Omega Speedmaster Men's Broad Arrow Watch
Generally men are not typically concerned about fashion. Although there are always exceptions to the rule, men usually let women pick their clothing. Even though you may not care much for fashion, there are some things you can do to demonstrate a sense of fashion.
A great item such as a fine Watch
To find the right Watch

Many men have owned a variety of cheaper watches throughout their lifetime, but until you find a high end watch you are merely toting a watch out of necessity. Timex is not necessarily a high end watch nor is Casio or any other watch with a plastic or cheap metal band. These are generally for everyday wear and sports activities. That is fine since they are intended for that.
If you are ready for a nice watch that will last and be a family heirloom someday then there are some names you may want to consider.
Some watch names to look for are TAG Heuer
TAG Heuer has the Aqua racer collection. They are quart crystal watches which are very accurate and dependable. There are several to choose from and all equally beautiful timepieces.
Another popular and classic brand of watches is Omega.
Regardless of your idea on fashion, there is no reason you can't make a statement with a classy high end watch. The difference once you have one on your wrist may surprise you. Once you wear a beautiful watch you may never pull out the others again. The confidence you may feel from owning such a timepiece will help you feel more successful. A fine Watch

For a watch to effectively tell time, three key components must be integrated to perfection. These three components are an energy source, a time regulating mechanism and a display. Energy sources can be electronic (battery) or mechanical (wound spring), while the time regulating mechanism (also called watch movement) is categorized into two groups mechanical movements (includes Automatic Movements) and quartz movements. This section focuses on the first two of the three main components energy sources and watch movement.
1) MECHANICAL MOVEMENTS If a watch is said to have mechanical movement, this means that the watch has a device for keeping time, which uses the energy from a wound spring, and keeps time through the highly regulated release of that energy through a set of gears and an escapement. This device must be wound periodically, ensuring that the
wound spring is continually loaded to power the watch. It differs from the typical quartz watch in that it uses purely mechanical components to keep time. A normal mechanical watch can run for about 40 hours on one full winding of the mainspring, and a few designs can last up to 8 or 10 days are also available. The general design of mechanical movement watches have not changed notably in the past fifty years. But, the development of greater technology and modern materials has changed the way mechanical movement watches are manufactured
2) AUTOMATIC MOVEMENTS Watches that are powered by automatic movements operate similar to a watch with mechanical movements, except that the winding of the spring occurs automatically, every time the wearer moves his or her arm. A rotor that turns in response to motion winds the watch's mainspring, supplying the needed energy to power the watch. The obvious benefit of an automatic movement is that there is never a need to replace a battery or to wind the watch. Keeping this in mind, it is necessary to occasionally "tune up" an automatic watch to ensure timekeeping is precise.
3) QUARTZ MOVEMENTS Watches that have quartz movements are a relatively new development in watch history. Quartz crystals have a unique property in that when they are compressed or bent, they conduct a constant voltage, or pulse, on their surface. This constant voltage is what is used to power quartz watches with exact precision. Rather than a wound spring (mechanical movement), quartz watches rely on a battery for their energy. The battery sends electrical energy to the tiny quartz crystal, which in turn creates a pulse at regular, constant levels. Because the pulse, also called an impulse, is extremely constant, quartz movements ensure precision timekeeping, down to hundredths of a second. To convert the impulse into a steady power that can move the watch hands at regular intervals, the impulse is simply passed through a stepping motor that converts the electrical energy of the impulse into mechanical energy that is needed to run the watch. Since the early 1970's, quartz watches have become very popular, for both manufacturer and consumers, due to the fact that quartz watches are less expensive than mechanical movement watches and can be easily manufactured in large volumes.

SOLAR Solar powered watches are one of the latest technological advances in watch development. Solar powered watches contain a light sensitive receptor underneath the dial, which absorbs light (natural or artificial), and converts it into energy to keep the watch ticking. This captured energy is stored in a small permanent battery in the watch so that the watch still functions in the dark. One of the most popular and well known solar powered watches is the Citizen Eco-Drive watch.
KINETIC or Hybrid Automatic/Quartz watches use the movement of the watch wearer's arm to produce the electrical energy to keep the watch running. Once a kinetic watch is fully charged, it can normally run for a long period of time (some up to 6 months) without being recharged. The energy for Kinetic watches is stored in a capacitor that keeps the watch on time even when it is being stored. Kinetic energy watches do not require a battery and have no need for winding. A good example of a watch that uses kinetic movement to power the watch is Seiko's Kinetic watches.
4. ATOMIC MOVEMENTS Atomic watches offer unmatched, split second accuracy by automatically synchronizing several times daily via radio signal with the National Institute of Science and Technology's (NIST) atomic clock in Fort Collins, Colorado, the most accurate clock in the world (accurate to within 1 second every million years). Atomic watches also adjust automatically from time zone to time zone and for leap years and daylight savings time. Typically atomic watches have quartz movements to keep time between synchronizations with NIST. One of the most popular atomic watches are manufactured by Oceanus watches.
