aBlogtoRead.com Mentioned On DeepGlamour.net
I was flattered by this article on DeepGlamour.net. The article mentioned me a few times and included a few quotes. Randall at DeepGlamour.net had an idea to comment on the effect that watches have on people and their image aside from style. I chose this image of Alexander the Great to sum up his sentiments on what certain watches are all about. The theme was discussing the concepts of "Status, Power, and Conquest" in relation to watches. You can read the article here, and I think you'll appreciate the gist of what he has to say. I feel honored that people either read my articles and get inspired or get inspired and stumble upon my articles. Although not the same era, here is a Roman inspired watch by Italian watch maker Zannetti watches. This model is called the Gladiatore Imperio. A cool looking Roman style decorate watch with the term "Vedi Vidi Vici" etched inside of the bezel. See the article at DeepGlamour.net here.Top image via The Johnson Galleries.

Orbita Launches a Ladies Sparta Mini
Hi Guys and Gals! We are pleased to announce the Sparta 1 Open Mini Ladies edition! Makes a great gift for that special lady.With more and more ladies watches being offered with automatic movements, manicure shops are having a boom.

Definitive Omega mesh measurements
I am frequently asked Will the Omega mesh fit my _____ inch/cm wrist? Will I need an extension?So here's the scoop on the Omega mesh:Total bracelet length is 15.0cm in the outermost micro adjustment.The innermost micro adjustment will reduce the length by 1.5cm. (There are five adjustment positions.)Each extension will add 2.0cm to the length.Needless to say, you will need to add the lug to lug length of your individual watch head. These measurements are bracelet only.Hope this helps.Fr. John?
