“My watches are my loyal friends. They show me how far technology could go for us to better understand the meaning of “time” and what aesthetic charm could be brought to them. My favorite watch brands are Rolex, Breitling and TAG Heuer, all of which are luxury watchmakers and have features to themselves. And I will show you my most treasured watches of these three brands,

The first one is Rolex 14k Gold Date Men’s Champagne Dial Watch. It caught my eyes the first time I saw it for its understated allure it radiates. It features solid yellow gold Rolex watch case and brown watch strap which gives it a soothing effect on the eye. The gold bezel and distinctive champagne dial bring up the tone a little and make it graceful-looking. It has self-winding movement and is water-resistant to 100m. The mere beauty of this watch never loosened its grip on me all these years.

The second watch that I couldn’t part with is this Brtitling Navitimer watch. When I got it I just couldn’t tear myself away from it. With high-end quartz chronograph movement and chronograph white dials render it moderate weight and impeccable beauty. Finely polished stainless steel strap and excellent clasp make it feel good on the wrist. The unique design and immaculate beauty of this watch just takes my breath away every time I see it.

As a sports watch, this TAG Heuer Aquaracer is perfect in terms of both functionality and style.

Its watch case and bracelet are all made of stainless steel. It is featured by scratch resistant sapphire crystal surrounding the silver dial and bezel, displaying luminescent hands and chronograph feature. It has automatic movement and water-resistance of 300m which makes suitable for diving. It is also a nice accessory in everyday use.

Luxury watches represent a lifestyle and a positive attitude for all the beautiful things in the world. A good watch of a brand name gives you this good self-feeling and confidence when it’s on your wrist that no other things can ever give you. You feel that it’s part of you and belong to you. You want to wear it all the time.

Something that is a little more stylish and youthful may attract me to buy. So I think a silver watch is the most attractive and right for me, which is also good for each youthful person. Silver watch is really nice and valuable.

For example, a skeleton watch with silver band is what every person needs who is looking for a style of luxury in the look. So an up-to-date style watch has a round face and a skeleton dial which has roman numerals. And the link band matches the silver of the face wonderfully. In conclusion, a silver watch can offer a person style, confidence and lots of youthful physique. On the other hand, with the silver of the band, I think link band is cool, charming and confident. There is a round dial that has red accent, with a silver tone titanium ring along the top of the face.

Just because what kind of watch you like is important and the watch you are suitable for is the most attractive and charming.

On May 6, 2007 at the Flying Pig Marathon in Cincinnati, Ohio one of those Mind over Matter stories unfolded.

Just one week prior to the Flying Pig Marathon four relatives were on a short fishing trip and two of the cousins were bantering with each other. Ryan Geers, a soon to be University of Cincinnati Emergency Medicine Resident, and Todd Geers his cousin, President of F James Geers & Company in Cincinnati were having a heated discussion about who was more physically fit.

Ryan told Todd that he, Ryan, would have no problem running a Marathon

without prior training. Todd found that to be an interesting statement and a little too braggadocious so he challenged Ryan to his words. Not to be outdone, Ryan assured Todd he could run the Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon the following Sunday to prove his point. The challenge was on.

Instead of backing down Ryan did what most foolish young men would do and

said OK I’ll prove it. He knew he could run 2 – 3 mile stints because he did that periodically and two years before he had run a 5K in Chicago so what was the big deal with 26.2 miles.

For the next several days Ryan called anyone he knew that knew anything

about Marathons and listened to their advice. All accept for “You are crazy to try that.”

On Sunday morning May 6, 2007 at 6:30 AM with the crack of the Starting Gun the Marathon commenced. For the next four hours and forty-two minutes (4:42) Ryan travelled through the neighborhoods of Cincinnati with all the demons of “you can’t do this” on his shoulder. By mile 15 his leg muscles started to burn and the reality of what he was trying to do was sinking in. For the next 5 miles the demons got louder assuring him this was a foolish act and he should call it quits. Ryan would have nothing to do with them.

By mile 21 the demons could barely be heard and were replaced by the Mind

over Matter Crowd. He knew he could do it. This was no longer a

braggadocious statement but a reality of a belief in himself that has been with him all his life.

At mile 25 there was a freshness of spirit and a final kick to the finish line. There were no words of encouragement needed from me or anyone else

at that point. He had already finished the Marathon in his mind. This part was just for show.

As a father I watched all of this unfold from the fishing trip to the finish line and I am amazed at the strength of his inner spirit. Chalk this one up to Mind over Matter. Ryan Geers has a Flying Pig Marathon Metal to prove it.

Today I want you to take a good hard think about your breathing. Correct breathing is essential. The process of breathing or respiration [technical name] allows your body to use oxygen in the air to convert sugars and fats into energy that your muscles need to work. If your muscles don’t receive the oxygen they need to cope with the demands of fast paced long distance running then you simply won’t be able to keep up.

As a general rule of thumb, your running pace needs to be that which allows you to almost talk whilst you are running and your breathing should be slow and deep apposed to short and fast, the slower and deeper you breath the better. As your fitness increases your body will adapt to become more efficient so better utilising the oxygen that you breathe in. However to begin with you need to give it all the oxygen you can.

This is actually a lot harder than it sounds. I found it very difficult to change my breathing pattern when I learned this technique, I could do it for a few minutes and then I would fall back into bad habits.

What I realised is that I was making a big mistake, I was breathing deeper but also trying to run faster straight away. BIG NO NO. Start off a little slower than your usual running pace and see how breathing deeper feels and then slowly and I do mean slowly build up to speed.

I think you’ll find that your breathing slows down but you feel better, you will feel more comfortable running, your muscles won’t feel so tired because they will have access to more oxygen allowing them to convert more sugar and fat into energy to efficiently deal with your running pace. What this technique should do over time is allow you to run at your old normal pace very easily which gives you the opportunity to push yourself to a new higher and faster running pace, simply because you muscles can now deal with it.

IT’S THAT SIMPLE.

Wrist watches are watches that have a strap or bracelet attached to them, and can be worn on the wrist. While some wrist watches only show the time, more sophisticated ones will show the date, year, day of the week, month, temperature, and even GPS location, wind strength or heart rate.  The wrist watch was invented in the 1900s and for a long time was worn just by women. A Brazilian aviator – Alberto Santos Dumont – asked Louis Cartier, a friend of his, to come up with a watch that would allow him to check the time yet allow use of both hands. Cartier came up with a prototype and named it the Santos watch. It went on sale in 1911 and became extremely popular during World War I when soldiers used them while in trenches.  http://www.watchesfox.com/Omega_c52-b0.html

John Harwood invented the self-winding system in 1923, and over the years the wrist watch became a status symbol instead of just a convenient way to check the time. Watches were bought not just because of their precision and convenience, but also for their looks. Many kinds of wrist watches are now sought as collectors’ items due to their looks, or the precision with which they tell the time, often going for huge amounts of money at auctions.  

The look of the wrist watch has also changed over the years. From simple pocket watches attached to ribbons, the watch went from being round in shape to more irregular shapes like rectangular or oval. The functionality of the wrist watch has also changed over the years as it is no longer just used to tell the time. Athletes have specialized watches that will track everything from heart rate to the distance they have run, divers can use their watches to tell the depth of their dive and watches now tell everything from the date and day to the temperature.  

Some of the more popular brands of wrist watches nowadays include Casio, and specifically their G Shock brand. Watches like G Shock include many of the popular functions, like telling the date, day, and time, as well as provide extra benefits, like withstanding shocks to the watches body. This makes them more durable and less likely to get damaged while in use. The G Shock Hybrid has a steel bracelet and is not only shock resistant, but also water resistant up to 200 meters, which makes it a great watch for daily wear. http://www.watchesfox.com/Omega_c52-b0.html

When you make a New Year Resolution, or establish a goal, do you approach the journey as a hare or a tortoise? As you venture down the road toward your eventual destination, do you sprint, or prefer to run a marathon? Personally, I am a marathon runner when it comes to my dreams, resolutions and daily goals. Some gifted folks can sprint to the finish line with incredible, quick results. I, on the other hand, am happier going the distance one small step at a time, one day at a time, at my own tortoise pace because I finally figured out that “it really is the journey not the destination that truly is important to me”. I credit my my middle class, Midwest upbringing (and firm, wise parents) to my patience, practicality and willingness to work hard. That patience, along with persistence and passion have, over the years, enabled me to stick with my dreams long past the time when many would have given up and moved on. Call me stubborn, but that stick-to-it-ive-ness – i.e. patience -has paid big dividends on my dreams.

In the course of the past five years, as I have studied and tested what ‘works and doesn’t work’ for resolution-making-and-keeping, I have continually circled round to the notion that good, old-fashioned, common sense is enormously helpful. So much of ‘what has worked’ for me is simple and straight forward. No rocket science, or complicated formulas are needed . . . What is necessary is a dream about which you have great passion and a fierce belief that you have what it takes to succeed.

Here are 10 Common Sense Tips, that can lead to success with dreams, resolutions and daily goals:

Dare To Dream: Open your mind to the endless possibilities. Introspection and research can pay huge dividends: Discover and contemplate the ‘who, what, when, where, why, and how’ of your dream at the outset; then keep your plans simple and realistic, focus on just one life-altering dream at a time.
Decide: When you reach the ‘A-HA’ moment, that fabulous point in time when you know what you must do, make a firm decision to ‘go for it’ with everything you’ve got. No slacking, or quitting is allowed.
Define: In one concise sentence specify what you intend to achieve, how you intend to get to the finish line, and why you’re entering the race.
Develop A Plan: Dreams are huge and overwhelming. A well thought out ‘written plan’ with clear-cut, simple steps, deadlines and a timeline will enable you to proceed methodically, with confidence because you have a system – a process, a game plan that will take you from start to finish.
Do It Daily: Take one small step at a time, one day at a time, for one year. Make your passions ‘Lifetime Resolutions’ that are with you for good, not just something that you do and cross off the list!
Don’t Procrastinate: Just show up and do something every single day, especially the days when you are the least motivated. Those days are big hurdles. Each hurdle that you cross takes you closer to your destination – and that day’s work could turn out to be your best ever!
Don’t Give In To Fear: Fear and doubt are ‘dream-killers’ because they cloud your good judgment and rob you of optimism and positive thoughts. Give fear and doubt the boot by ‘getting busy’ and producing fresh results and a new-found sense of accomplishment every single day.
Don’t Get Discouraged: Progress can be painfully slow and obstacles more plentiful than victories. Carefully track tasks and milestones, in writing, so you can celebrate your wins and take credit for crossing hurdles one-by-one.
Don’t Grow Bored: Revamp and revise your plan frequently, injecting new life into each juncture of the journey. Have some fun!
Don’t Give Up: Patience, passion, persistence, and perseverance will see you through. You may have to ‘start over’ many, many times, but a key to success is being willing and committed to ‘start over’ as many times, as are necessary.

“Daytona” is synonymous with the race track circuits and is very famous through out the Grand Prix world. It is also the name of a Rolex watch, and also referred to as the “Oyster Professional Cosmography”. This watch has become the choice of many a racing driver and has earned the tag of being the “racing driver’s choice” due to reasons absolutely valid and justified.  http://www.watchesfox.com

The Daytona Rolex was designed to measure time elapsed and calculate the average speed in a race. The Daytona Rolex also boasts of a sweep second hand and the minute and hour “totalizators” that can be activated by push buttons. The bezel is also modified to act as a tachometer. A new watch was launched in 1991 integrating the zenith movement. It had larger dials and an inner track with contrasting colors. Dials were black, white and champagne backgrounds with “Daytona” in red.  

The latest watch uses a Rolex movement as against the zenith used previously. One of the most sought after models today is the stainless steel Daytona Rolex. It boasts of being waterproof up to 330 feet , an engraved tachometer bezel and is self winding. As all models, a Daytona Rolex replica is also available and a Grade 1 Swiss replica boasts of being waterproof up to 100 feet and is one of the most expensive in the Rolex replica watches. Grades 2-5 are less expensive. The Grade 1 Daytona Rolex replica also comes with an option of a wonderful black or white face along with a stainless steel oyster band. This grade comes with a full function chronograph and a jewel movement from Velour that facilitates the owner to time a single continuous movement. The quality associated with this model commands a good price that hovers around $ 1500.  

The latest replica watch model of this particular watch comes with a Miyota automatic movement (Japanese Grade 2 Rolex replica watch). The stainless steel replica watch has a white face with a full function chronograph, night illumination and a sapphire crystal glass. Replica watches could never replace the originals. To fulfill one’s ego and the “status symbol” needs, this model could go a along way. If you could set aside the feeling of guilt that may arise out of buying a replica watch, since it would result in losses to the original manufacturer, put it aside as the cost of success and think about what you could save making this decision.

Gold pocket watches have once been very popular among the upper classes in society as they were a symbol of wealthy and position. Gradually, it has become quite a common accessory for people of fashion. This article will give you a quick look on the history of gold pocket watches.

The evolution of gold pocket watch began around the 16th century with earlier recorded times dating back to the 14th century as the original birth of this watch. These watches could be worn or carried mainly three different ways. During the early 16th century wearing your watch around your neck seemed to be the choice of the times as this lasted several years. I have seen several instances over the last couple of years where this display of watch wearing could be seen in some music and fashion venues. I did not realize at the time that this was a fashion statement from the 16th century, after all displaying a watch of this type around your neck spoke volumes about your place in society.

That trend faded and the gold pocket watch made its way to the wrist. Again the watch was worn fashionably, if you could afford this watch you were considered royalty and you showed it off as such. The pocket watch soon made its way to the pocket for several reasons one being to protect it because of how easily the watch could be damaged from being worn around the wrist. The wrist worn watch also led to a number of dropped watches from being worn from the wrist. So the pocket is where the gold pocket watch resides and will be forever.

During the 16th century pocket watches would occasionally be lost or stolen probably due to the way they were worn or just carelessness. Ransoms of 3-5 pecos were offered for the return of any lost or stolen watch. These watches were highly thought of as evidenced by the ransoms being offered for their returns. After all these were the keepers of time and very fancy ones at that. The accuracy of the gold pocket watch improved with time and will forever be considered the beginning of time as we know it.
