Breitling Basel Preview: Avenger Seawolf Chrono Blacksteel Limited Edition
At Baselworld 2010, Breitling will unveil a special version of the Avenger Seawolf Chrono ¨C the only chronograph that is watertight and fully operational at a depth of 1,000 meters or 3,300 feet. The new Blacksteel limited edition features a 45.4 mm steel case sporting a black carbon-based treatment. The standout feature however is Breitling’s patented magnetic pushpiece system. This system, a Breitling exclusive, activates the chronograph controls through the metal of the case, without any direct mechanical contact.

Paying For It
Was listening to NPR this morning and there was a short piece done on consumer spending. Researchers found that if they told a person that a glass of wine was a $35 vintage, the receptacles in the brain open up more to enjoy it, even if in actuality it was a $2 glass of wine. Wine tasters were told to expect excellence and therefore they experienced it. So perceptions of quality are directly linked to the price of a product. Gotta love neurology.I guess this is why companies spend so much $$ promoting their history/heritage, cutting-edge designs, exclusivity, or association with sports/leisure. Take history for instance.

An Old Angelus Wristwatch ..........
Gentlemen .........and fellow ladies, ....My roommate Mike has done it again .....sort of .......I was popping batteries into some watches for him ....and after I finished, I just kept popping backs....well, one back ......Not too preposessing looking at first glance, and while the hands move easily enough, it is wound too tight as they say .....and one of the little pushy thingies is missing......the dial looks to be decent, but the crystal is rather scratched....the case is stainless steel and looks as if it will polish up nicely ........oh and notice on the very outside edge of the dial, there are light green markers, and on the right of the dial, they're very close together, on the left, much farther apart .......anyone know what's that all about ? the face......But it was when I popped the back off that my eyes did some popping too ! ......this watch is a mere 1 3/8 or so across, ( excluding crown of course .....) and I think I did a cartoon eye bug when I saw this movement ......

every time..
