Men's Accessory: Omega Watch

Watchmakers Advice
By Claude H. Suddreth "Opinion Expert" (Phoenix, AZ USA)

I am rather opinionated when it comes to mens luxury watches. This comes from spending 2 years in watchmaking school, studying directly under the guidance of a certified master swiss watchmaker who came here from Europe. Men watches, especially mid to high grade swiss watches, are a passion of mine. I am not loyal to a brand or a style or anything else. I judge them for what they are, in terms of quality, function, construction, and style. A watchmakers point of view.

This said I will tell you that this particular men watch is what I consider to be a "best kept secret" sort of watch. This is an AUTOMATIC watch (read: Mechanical - NOT Quartz), and of CHRONOMETER grade function. Chronometer as used here is a measure of accurate timekeeping, not quality - a point often misunderstood - and is used mostly from a marketing point of view by companies such as Rolex. HOWEVER. This movement in THIS watch is actually EXCELLENT in terms of quality, time keeping ability, and construction - easily comparable to other Swiss made movements from other famous manufacturers costing several times as much. This watch, properly serviced, will provide a lifetime of use - and probably more. Absolutely the sort of men's watches you pass down to the next generation. (maybe still long way to go! :P)


All in all - and EXCELLENT choice - especially for those seeking their first QUALITY Swiss watch purchase.

Man Fashion: 5 Buy Calls for 2008 Men's Fashion

I am sure some might wondering, what should the trend in 2008 after my earlier post on 7 Men Fashion to avoid in 2008? There are many saying that 70's fashion is coming back, punk fashion should be in high popularity. Well, in my opinion, some of the fashion trends in 2007 might spill over to this year. Here are some of the fashion that will still in high demand.

1. Jeans - In particular eco-friendly jeans. Since Levi's launched their the Levi's(R) 506 Standard Fit Jean for guys and the Levi's(R) 570 Straight Fit Jean for girls in end 2006, this type of eco-trend jeans will continue to dominant the jean's world in 2008.
2. Watch - The classic trend is back, a classic round wristwatch, with hobnail bezel, Roman numerals, and a beautiful porcelain white dial. Patek Philippe Calatrava, a classic of the less-is-more genre, demonstrates, taste is one thing you can't measure with a ruler.
3. Sweater Vest - Call it the revenge of the nerds, but the latest release of GAP V-neck sweaters is making your traditional sweater vest in your closet look a little outdated.
4. Boots - Rocking this ensemble from head to toe, as David Beckham did on a recent Arena magazine cover—may not be for everyone, but chances are there's a pair of bovver boots or suspenders in your future.
   
   
   
   
   
5. iPhone - Don't require further elaboration. Find out the nearest Apple store near you today.

Men Jeans: Tips to choose matching clothes and accessories

Shopping is an effective way to keep yourself away from bad mood and depression - no matter whether you go shopping for new jeans or sport car.

Every men has jeans as an essential part of his wardrobe. It is not so complicated to choose jeans as there is a wide range of models to match any style, constitution and personal taste.

However, you are probably puzzled by the question what items of clothes and accessories will match your jeans and help you create your own distinctive style. The following are some useful tips:

1. Classic Long-Sleeved Dress Shirt You really can’t go wrong with this, as long as you find the right matching color and pattern. Try to find something that doesn’t have any pockets, if you can, for smart casual. White is most preferred color as it is easily match with whatever pants, but almost any color will work.

2. Short-Sleeved Polo Shirt

Again, classic and mannish, these come in a variety of fabrics and designs. These short-sleeved polo shirts are mostly suitable with all kind of jeans. Color strip or solid colors are both well received in man fashion world.

3. Jackets

Jeans worn together with a jacket create a really classical and refined look. You may wonder whether it is smart? No second thought, this definitely delivers the message.

4. Accessories and watches

Wearing elegant jeans requires putting on elegant accessories. High boot will not only make your macho, but will also add elegancy to your appearance.

A stylish watch is a must have accessory for any man. If you mainly associate watches with something boring and not exciting, forget about classically-styled watches. Pay your attention to designer watches featured by watches developed by world-renowned watch-making brands.

It is great if you have a few differently styled watches to match different occasions - a noisy night club party or a solemn wedding celebration.

You are sure to get fascinated by watch-making masterpieces of such prestigious brands as Rolex, TAG Hueur, Oris, Omega, Patek Philippe, Rado, Tudo, Louis Vuitton and many more. If you feel reluctant to spend tons of money at a prestigious watch brand, use an opportunity of purchasing a qualitative replica watch.

Naturally, not all replica watches are of top quality. However, there are on-line dealers offering qualitative Japanese replica watches at affordable price range. A replica watch which provides the same look, design and functions as the original one is a real bargain.

To draw a conclusion, jeans are no longer a clothing item necessary just for walking and going for a trip. It presently refers to classically-styled items, especially if worn with other nice pieces of clothes and accessories.

While creating your own "jeans style", try to keep in mind the latest fashion trends and the peculiarities of one's appearance. If you feel free to experiment, you are sure to come up with your own exclusive style.
