Inventors have developed what they claim to be world's most accurate atomic clock. This clock makes a huge step towards improving the precision of navigation around the world.It is worth mentioning that the high-precision atomic clock is based on several thousand strontium atoms that are caught in the network of laser light. Its accuracy is two times better then the accuracy of the current U.S. time standard, which is based on a so-called "fountain" of cesium atoms. The Oscar-winning actor and director will take an active part in Omega's promotional campaign worldwide, except the United States and Canada.Stephen Urquhart, President of the Omega brand, expressed his delight on George Clooney joining other ambassador members of the Omega family.

Classical and Historical Timepieces in Limited Edition from Archimede

The rock star shot the company's Defy Classic Open watch. The most remarkable spot of the evening occurred when the president of Zenith North America, Paul Ziff, presented a Zenith timepiece to Andy Summers."As an acclaimed professional artist in two distinct areas, Andy Summers embodies the spirit of Zenith. This photo exhibition was provided by Andy Summers of The Police.It's a great event that combined the lively art of photography created by one of the most famous rock guitarists in the history of rock music and highly-prestigious, and at the same time rather edgy watch*** company from Switzerland. It is worth noting that the exhibition was held at NYC Milk Studios. Both Zenith Swiss Watch Manufacture and the rock star of The Police, Andy Summers, were the main characters to lunch one of New York's most exciting and artistic evenings.Throughout the invitation-only VIP reception, various musicians, fans, artists and friends of the star and the watchmaker admired behind the scenes series of photos performed in black and white that highlight the early days of the rock band.That he is incredibly talented, versatile and a true Renaissance man is abundantly obvious. That he exudes a style and manner that is both warm and gracious is his gift. We are very proud to have Mr. Summers wearing a Zenith timepiece" outlined Paul Ziff.It's worth mentioning that the event was enriched by The Police's 2 concerts at Madison Square Garden where all tickets were sold out.

A Photo Exhibition by The Police resented by Zenith Swiss

The dimensions of the case are 42mm x 10mm, having a solid case back. The company decided to use a historic classic design of the dials, having the minute and hour hands covered with blue Super Luminova. In addition the seconds hand is luminous as well.It is interesting to note that the first movement of the brand was developed more than half a century ago, in 1956. The movement of Archimede is its follower and was created throughout the period between 1961 and 1969. The movement is among the last to be produced by Junghans.The original design did not feature calendar and brand name. In 2005 the brand was able to discover the Junghans caliber 687, a historic manual winding movement. Archimede decided to purchase some of these movements and offer the Pilot Original with a movement manufactured in Germany, which, however, is no longer produced. Current limited edition will include 90 pieces of the watch. The company looks forward to ship the first timepieces in January 2008.The Sinn 6030 modular chronograph movement is accurately refined with C?tes de Gen?ve, perlage, as well as blued screws. It's worth noting that the classical movements are more than 40 years old and they featured an extremely accurate precision of that time. The company's masters disassembled the movements with great care, cleaned them and then regulated in order to get the best possible accuracy.

The Fossil Wrist Net and the Swatch Paparazzi FeatureFossil Wrist Net Swatch Paparazzi Overall

Although they appear tobe about the same size, the contrast on the Paparazzi's screen is higher ***it easier to read. The Paparazzi's backlight is more effective, aswell. Although the Fossil's backlight is certainly adequate, it illuminates thescreen unevenly (check out the FossilWrist Net photo gallery to see what I mean). Comparison Chart -- The Fossil Wrist Net and the Swatch Paparazzi FeatureFossil Wrist Net Swatch Paparazzi Overall appearancexBandxScreenxSpeakerxButtonsxBacklightxSignal Strength 1xxCharger 2xWatch facesxDurability 3xSizexPrice$199 $149$1501 I really couldn't tell which watch seemed to do better at pickingup a signal. One minute the Paparazzi's signal strength indicator was higher, thenext minute, it was the Fossil's. All I can definitively say is that both watches'ability to pick up the MSN Direct signal was perfectly adequate.2 Although I definitely like the Fossil's charger better, and feelthat the cord on the Paparazzi's charger is too short, I should note that the Paparazzi'scharger is better for traveling in that it's significantly smaller and lighter.3 I did not explicitly test the durability of either watch,however I'm giving this one to the Paparazzi because the Wrist Net is not waterresistant. From the Reference Guide: "Your watch is not meant to besubmerged in water. However it will withstand a little rain while being worn."What I Like About the Fossil Wrist NetThe look. I think the Wrist Net is the most stylish of all MSN Direct watches.Size. I believe the Fossil Wrist Net is one of the the smallest MSN Directwatches.The band. The rubber and leather combination feel and look good, and the buckleis fairly easy to manage. Watch faces. The Wrist Net comes with some watch faces I wouldn't mind seeingon the Paparazzi.Charger. I like how quick and easy it is to slip the watch onto the chargerwithout actually having to plug it in.What I Don't Like About the Fossil Wrist Net The buttons. They feel wobbly and cheap, and have to be pushed almost entirelyin before they register.Not water resistant.The screen. Not as much contrast as the Paparazzi's.Backlight. Doesn't illuminate uniformly (though it is still sufficient).Volume. The watch is too quiet. I want to put the countdown timer, twoalarms, and message alerts to good use!No programmable alarms.
