JS Watch Islandus 45 Years Anniversary Edition Honors A Watch Maker
It is not unheard-of for a watch brand to issue a special edition of one of their watches to commemorate some special event - say, the 50th anniversary of a model being released, or the company having been in business for so many years. What is less common is to celebrate a milestone being hit by the master watch maker for the brand - but that is precisely what we have with the JS Watch Islandus 45 Anniversary Edition.In this case, the man being honored is Gilbert ¨® Guej¨®nsson who has been working on watches since 1970, when he started off in a provincial repair shop in Reykjavik. Since then, he's opened his own workshop (1977) and of course became the master of watch making for JS Watch Co., where he and his shop have been winning awards.So, what sort of watch do you create for a man such as this? Well, you start off with one of one their classic styles (the Islandus), and then you do some rather spectacular upgrades. For instance, take a look at the dial. The dial is made of solid St

Materialism
A very successful attorney parked his brand new Aston Martin in front of his office, ready to show it off to his colleagues. As he was getting out, a truck came along too closely and completely tore off the driver's door. Fortunately, a cop in a police car was close enough to see the accident and pulled up behind the Aston Martin with his lights flashing. Before the cop had a chance to ask any questions, the attorney started screaming hysterically about how his Aston Martin , which he had just purchased the day before, was completely ruined and would never be the same, no matter how any car body shop tried to make it new again. After the lawyer finally wound down from his rant, the cop shook his head in disbelief. "I can't believe how materialistic you lawyers are," he said. "You are so focused on your possessions that you neglect the most import ant things in life." "How can you say such a thing?" asked the lawyer. The cop replied, "Don't you even realize that your left arm is missin
