Jorg Gray JG 6500 The President Barack Obama Watch

A man who is known for his decision and timing of those decisions. I believe Jorg Gray JG 6500 is the most popular watch on this earth. This is the watch that President Barack Obama wears. As per my knowledge i read somewhere that Mr. President received the watch for his 46th birthday by the Secret Service in August of 2007.

Honour for watch maker Jorg Gray for making this masterpiece for the most powerful person in the world.

A key difference between this model and the version that Obama has is the lack of the Secret Service logo on it.

Cartier Rotonde Panther Granulation

With only twenty watches created, the Rotonde Panther is an exquisite piece of Cartier artwork. The signature panther logo is created for the face by soldering over 3,000 gold balls together.

Cartier has of course adapted this style in their own unique way to suit modern tastes and has thus created one of the most stunning pieces in their Cartier d’Art line. The panther has been created using tiny gold balls; each 22k gold ball is hand applied one at a time to create the picture. The balls are cut from a string, heated and then fused to the watch base to provide a multidimensional textural masterpiece.

It takes approximately 2 months to create one timepiece and the list price for this work of art, with a total weight of 3.63 carats, is $260,000.

Citizen Eco-Drive Satellite Wave F100 GPS

For Citizen, their modern GPS watch collection began in 2011 with the release of the original Satellite Wave (hands-on here). In 2013 Citizen followed up with the more practical Satellite Wave-Air (which actually gets some brand new designs for 2014), and this year we see the very interesting Satellite Wave F100 with a relatively thin and very light titanium case.

The first series-produced models using this technology were presented at BaselWorld last year in the form of the Eco-Drive Satellite Wave Air, with improved antennae sensitivity that ensured the world’s fastest signal reception speed, and the Eco-Drive Altichron Cirrus, with an altimeter function.

Currently the big three Japanese watchmakers (Citizen, Casio, and Seiko) each have timepieces that offer the ability to directly connect to GPS satellites in order to receive the correct time. It is very important to note that each of these watches act differently. Further, in addition to each having a very different design, the various models each have their respective pluses and minuses.

Citizen's main competitor in the market is probably the Seiko Astron, which was originally released in 2012. Both Seiko and Citizen are looking to appeal to a more sophisticated person who wants to use their watch as a regular travel item or for daily wear. Each is impressive and while the Astron is able to indicate the time zone (it does not automatically adjust for DST), it is currently a much larger watch than the Satellite Wave F100. Though each is very nice in their own right.

What Citizen claims to have on both Casio and Seiko is speed. They claim that while one needs determine their own time zone location and adjust for DST, the Satellite Wave F100 requires on average only three seconds to connect with a satellite and update the time–no matter where you are in the world . 

TAG Heuer Mikro Pendulum

Like all MIKRO creations, it is a dual chain platform with a balance-wheel system for the watch and a hairspring-less pendulum system for the chronograph. There are 371 components in the dual-chain structure, each designed, crafted and assembled by TAG Heuer’s Haute Horlogerie team of master watchmakers and engineers.

From top to bottom this watch is full of technical innovations that push the boundaries of what a mechanical watch is capable of by changing the limiting factors themselves.

At this point, you might be thinking "why?" Fair question. With a typical balance there are limitations imposed by the physical nature of the hairspring. It can only beat so quickly, it is impacted by friction, gravity has adverse effects, shocks can deform the spring, and over time the spring will eventually wear out. The magnetic pendulum solves these problems handily, though it does come with its own sensitivities to heat and magnetic fields. 

The technology doesn't stop with the movement though. The 45mm case is made from an alloy of chrome and cobalt that is typically found in aviation and surgical instruments. To the eye it looks more like white gold than steel, but in reality it's harder than titanium and similarly lightweight. The pushers however are titanium and are set into the top of the case in the bullhead style.

Exclusive Moto 360 Smartwatch Reviews

Google is officially in the smartwatch business with the Motorola Moto 360 and the new Android Wear operating system.  The new smartwatch from Motorola shows subtle alerts and notifications to users, when required. Further, the Moto 360 also shows who's emailing or even calling, without taking out the connected smartphone from your pocket. As of now, Motorola has not revealed that whether the Moto 360 could feature direct voice-calling functionality.

Google has chosen to debut Android Wear in its own device, as Google currently owns Motorola, but expect to see the operating system in a range of products coming in 2014. Google has already announced partnerships with Fossil, Samsung, Intel, HTC, Asus, LG, and more. As you can see, Fossil is among the brands that will be working on smartwatches (which actually isn't new for them, but they have yet to find success with a smartwatch). I expect additional traditional watch makers to develop their own smartwatch hardware to run Google Wear in the near future. I wonder who the first Swiss watch brand will be.

 A major issue with smartwatches is that unlike a smartphone or other device, there is really no easy way to input data or issue commands. The screen is too small to type on, and the case can only have so many buttons and pushers. So, when it comes down to it the logical input method is simply speaking to it. Given that reality, Google has designed the Android Wear experience to revolve around voice commands. When Google Glass was released, people became familiar with the "OK Google" voice command that got the device's attention, but the ability of Android Wear will go beyond that.

The idea, according to Google, is for Android Wear to respond to natural language in response to notifications and to input information. Speech recognition has become good enough so that assuming the device can hear you, it can understand your commands in plain English (and other languages).  The user's voice will become a principal means of using a Android Wear's interface. More than likely, the device will use an internal microphone to transmit the voice recording to a Google server via the Internet for recognition and response of the voice command. I do not believe that the individual smartwatch devices themselves contain the processing power necessary to receive, decode, and act on voice commands. That does inherently mean that without an Internet connection, the functionality of an Android Wear-powered smartwatch will be limited - but that is to be expected of this and other future devices for the time being.

 Google is no doubt aware of these issues and would not have released news about the Moto 360 or Android Wear if they were not at least mostly satisfied with the performance. Of course, to a large degree it is up to hardware and third-party software developers to help optimize the relationship between smartwatch and phone. Google or Motorola has thus far not specifically discussed the connectivity of the Moto 360, but it will likely use some version of Bluetooth. Personally, we look forward to a Bluetooth successor as I have been mostly disappointed with Bluetooth performance for years now.

We are a few months away from a retail version of the Motorola Moto 360 smartwatch being available, so a lot of information is not yet available. In particular, we do not know how much battery life it will have, how effective the microphone or general connectivity is, or how well it connects with your phone. These are all issues that will be determined in good time but are extremely important.

Some facts to know about Omega

OMEGA has been creating fine timepieces since the 19th century and the interest in the brand's vintage timepieces is greater today than ever. OMEGA has always been driven by its pioneering spirit: six lunar landings; the first divers’ watch; the world’s only certified marine chronometer wristwatch. 

No watch company in the world holds more records for accuracy. OMEGA is also a world leader in sports timekeeping. We are proud of this legacy and of the commitment to innovation which led to the launch of the exclusive OMEGA Co-Axial calibres. These achievements are products of the drive and spirit which have made OMEGA one of the world’s leading watchmakers.

Louis Brandt founded the company in 1848 as a workshop that assembled pocketwatches and distributed them in several countries. The name Omega didn’t come about until 1894, by which time Louis’ sons Cesar and Louis-Paul had converted the workshop into a small manufacture in Bienne. Omega wasn’t a brand, initially; it was a movement calibre – a pendant-wound pocketwatch calibre that utilized streamlined construction techniques and interchangeable parts for a reliable and easy-to-service mass-produced design. Soon Omega calibres became a worldwide success, so much so that all watches produced by the company were branded Omega from 1903 onward. 

THE OMEGA MUSEUM

The OMEGA Museum was opened to the public in January 1984 and is the oldest watch museum dedicated to the history of a single brand. Along with some 4000 watches, the remarkable collection includes movements, clocks, instruments, tools, photos, engravings, posters, signs, awards and certificates.

On The Moon

The company’s real claim to fame was the selection of the Speedmaster chronograph by NASA for use in the space program in 1965 after a series of grueling tests. In 1969 it became the first watch on the Moon.
