TAG Heuer Monaco Means Business
TAG Heuer's Monaco Men's
TAG Heuer Monaco watches have been enormously popular ever since their first release, many years ago. The styling of the Monaco is that of a vintage timepiece. Their softly squared off case, and dials were revolutionary at the time of the Monaco’s conception, and even today, this designing is unique and stands out among its competitors. TAG Heuer doesn’t simply make a great looking watch; they masterfully craft instruments of timekeeping, like no other watch maker around. Their productions are always ahead of their time. This avant-garde company is constantly creating new and innovative timepieces, and improving on their watches of the past. The Monaco is one of those watches, which TAG has re-vamped and brought back on several occasions, and we are so glad they did. The TAG Heuer Monaco Men’s watch CAW2110-FC6177 is a handsome version of this iconic timepiece. This automatic chronograph by TH features a black dial, with two toned hands, arms, and indexes. This Swiss made chronograph is a self winding model. It offers a scratch resistant sapphire crystal, and stainless-steel case. The case back is a skeleton style, with visible movement. Variety watches is offering this watch at a 36% discount, making the final price $2,870. This is a fantastic deal on a phenomenal timepiece.

Discount Watches For Savvy Shoppers
Discount Watches are Quality Finds
Discount watches come in all shapes and sizes. What Discount means is great, quality watches at reduced prices. It doesn’t refer to, cheap. First, let’s understand that retailers discount watches for many reasons. It may be as simple as the fact that the watch wasn’t as popular as hoped, and there is excess inventory…or they could be trying to pass off a fake. When purchasing a discounted watch from a third party, make sure you have a way of verifying its authenticity. Having said that, great deals can be had online and here are a few examples.
I located the 4898 Invicta Men’s Corduba Chronograph selling for $119.00. This bold men’s watch is one of the diver’s series and is made in all stainless-steel and durable rubber. The dial is black and displays luminous minute and second hands. The dial also features sub-dials and day and date calendar. The Invicta Men’s Corduba Chronograph is water resistant to 200 meters. Great discount watch at an 83% discount from retail. The website this was found on offers a 30-day money back guarantee. Not bad.
Ladies are in luck as well. That same site offered the 96X108 Bulova Crystal Watch and Pendant set for $149.99. Bulova is well known for their quality and style, and this woman’s watch is particularly stunning. This discount watch is made from all stainless-steel materials, with a white dial and sparkling crystals encircling the face and making up the bracelet. This watch is feminine and elegant, and accompanies a beautiful crystal pendant.
As I said earlier, phenomenal deals on discount watches can be found on the internet. Just be a savvy shopper and do your research before you buy. Happy shopping!

Panerai-Serious Watchmakers
Panerai - Serious Watchmakers
- Panerai Watch is a family owned company, founded in 1825, by Giovanni Panerai in Florence, Italy. They immediately partnered with the best Swiss watchmakers and began their journey. By the early 1900’s Panerai began experimenting with products to create luminescence in their watches and other instruments they supplied to the Royal Italian Navy. Mr. Panerai’s grandson invented and patented the Radiomir and Luminor watches that the company is famous for.
Much of the companies early efforts were directed in creations for the Navy. In 1943, Panerai released the first Chronograph prototype, this watch was water-proof up to 200 meters, an unheard of depth for this time. But, less than 40 years later the company showcased a titanium watch that could withstand depths of 1000 meters! They continued working closely with the Navy to provide valuable instruments.
By the mid 1990’s Panerai switched gears a bit and started offering more styles for the civilian market. The Panerai Sub-Mariner was one of the first watches from them for the general public.
Having said that, Panerai didn’t give up much when offering a watch to the average Joe. These watches are, definitely a piece of machinery. The L’Astromono Luminor 1950 Turbillon GMT is a beautifully designed watch. With a case made from titanium, a polished titanium bezel and see-through back made from sapphire crystal, this timepiece lacks nothing.
Granted, the Panerai watches have maintained much of their conservative features throughout the years, but the inner workings are phenomenal. The history behind Panerai watches is rich with innovation and design. I don’t believe you can find a more well-crafted watch in the world.

Omega Aqua Terra Luxury Watch
If not for the engineering and technical expertise behind each piece, the allure of designer watches usually comes from the luxury that they represent. The luxe factor accounts for many things – the stratospheric price tags, the elite clientele and the premium materials that go into each watch. The Omega Aqua Terra collection – the newest one from the prestigious company – has not just Omega’s signature expertise but also oodles of luxe. 
Face value isn’t exactly a shallow factor with this collection of watches. Top Wesselton diamonds make up each of the hour markers for a total of almost 0.2 karats of precious rock. Another 44 diamonds – almost 0.8 karats of rock – are installed in the bezel. And instead of the teak concept used for the Aqua Terra collection, the Aqua Terra Jewelry line has vertically set diamonds to highlight the face.
Luxury goes from inside out in the Aqua Terra Luxury Watch line. The 30mm case of each watch is made from 18-karat white gold, matched by the 18-karat white gold bracelets. Each of the watches in the collection is an intimidating piece once it weighs in – there’s a total of about 18 karats’ worth of Top Wesselton diamonds in each timepiece. The highest end of the line is a watch that has over 1,400 Top Wesselton diamonds weighing over 17.5 karats.
Another one of the models in the collection has a case in white gold that’s set all throughout with over three dozen diamond baguettes totaling 1.32 karats. 1,560 more diamonds account for another 14 karats of weight. The third and last model in this collection has 726 diamonds for a total weight of over 7 karats.
If the price tag is too high for you, the Aqua Terra collection has models available with a design – and a price tag – that’s a little less luxurious. Those models will have straps made of less premium materials. They will, for example, have stainless steel bracelets and cases instead of the classic gold. Even if you won’t be wearing 18 karats on your wrist, you can rest assured that you’re still getting the same quality that the Omega name represents.
