Yellow Gold

If you haven’t heard of Reactor luxury watches, it’s okay… but you should know they hold the claim to creating the best sports watch possible and one of their claims to fame is the Reactor Gamma water sports watch which has the thickest ever application of Superlative for “extreme low-light performance”. Okay…so what?
Well what about a 10 year power supply, 300 M depth rating and anti-reflective coated crystal



for perfect visibility under water?

Seriously people…Reactor takes their best build claim to the extreme me. Europa Star recently reported that Reactor’s water sport watch was put to an extreme torture-level stress. They attacked the Reactor Gamma water sport watch to a shipwreck submerged in 300 feet of saltwater off the coast of Florida. But get this… it’s going to remain there for 3 years!
If they pull this off, I don’t think anyone will doubt that they have the best built sports watch….TAG Herero and Breathing Emergency watch…. watch out, a new extreme watch kid is on the block.

So, Ralph Lauren is finally launching watches and jewelry!!! It’s been a long, a long time coming, but we knew change was going to come. Okay, maybe that was a little too much? Anyway, let’s get to the watches, separated into 3 collections including the Ralph Lauren Stirrup Collection, the Ralph Lauren Slim Classified Collection, and the Ralph Lauren Sporting Collection.
The Ralph Lauren Stirrup collection (above) includes a caliber RL750 (owned by Richmond), 30 meters of water resistance, and mounted on a wide band made of crocodile. There is a limited version of this watch based on 1967 founding of Polo with 67 pieces made.
The Ralph Lauren Slim Classifier watch collection includes 42mm cases, 18 k gold, carillon buckle, and a slim manual Piaget movement. The Ralph Lauren Sporting watch collection is made of stainless steel or 18-k gold, has a bezel with six round screws, classic dial, hand wound movement, dual time mode, and power reserve. Is it just me, or do these watches look a lot like Cartier watches?????

P.S. I love your luxury watch
We stumbled upon some really inspirational watches today that we had to share with our readers. Stamp collections can be boring to anyone, right? But when the stamps are part of the watch…who could really resist them?
That’s exactly what we thought when we stumbled upon the P.S. Watch Collection by Arang and Co. Last year the company debuted two collections, “P.S. I Love You” and “P.S. Happy Holidays”. Both collections are inspired by postage stamp art and are under $200…you can’t beat that.
Even if you do find some other watches with postal stamps for the watch dial; don’t be fooled. A rang and Co. is the official U.S. Postal Service license holder that mission includes the notion that, as National Jeweler stated, ”people have an emotional connection to stamp art, and not just for the reason of mailing”. As a result, each watch is created by an artist; the one above is called Love Letters by Lisa Cataloger. It’s has a polished stainless steel case with champagne mother-of-pearl dial and a cream leather strap.
Since Valentine’s Day is arriving, here’s a look at the PS I Love You Collection.. We’ll let the rest of the watches speak for themselves.

Love Letters by Lisa Catalonia (Round)

Puppy Love by Saul Mandel (Tank)

Love Repeat by Bradbury Thompson (Oversize Tank)

All Heart by Paul Zola (East West)

Marc Echo ‘The Press’ Watch
A name that is slowly and surely being heard in the luxury watch industry is Marc Ecko and his new watch collection, The Prez, “where urban street culture meets high society, the Prez is a fashion icon of stunning visual appeal”.
After we show you Marc Ecko watches, you won’t doubt that statement one bit. But before we get into the Marc Ecko watch review, just in case you have been living under a rock for the last couple of years and don’t know much about urban fashion, the Ecko brand, or even Marc Ecko himself, here’s a refresher course.
Marc Ecko began his life as a designer in New York while in college. In those days designing meant graffiti art; and he was good at it. Soon Ecko was born and Marc Ecko began making handmade t-shirts using his graffiti and urban art skills. Soon a phenomenon was born. Spike Lee, Chuck D, Good Morning America, and many more began to jump on the Ecko bandwagon.
Soon Eco became the leader in hip hop, skating, and extreme sports attire. The product line included footwear, leather goods, gloves, outerwear, underwear, women’s clothing, cosmetics, a magazine, children’ bags, and now watches.
The Marc Echo watch collection, The Press comes in a luxury glossy and black wooden block. The diamond versions of the watch include 1.454 white stones prong set in the dial, bracelet, and case. The case is round with a tire like design on the edges called sun ray edging. Each Marc Ecko watch has a flat scratch-resistance crystal case cover and special collector’s editions include a special case back. The watches are available in silver, black and rose gold, and yellow gold. Marc Ecko watches online include an overview of all the watches in made by the designer.
