Animal Watch
Animal Watches Hot in the Extreme Sports Scene The Animal brand as well as being renowned for its watches is also very much at the centre of the extreme sports scene and sponsors riders in many core sectors such as surfing, snowboarding, windsurfing, mountain biking and kite surfing. The Animal brand was originally founded in 1987 by two men who were not designers but in fact surfers who had become increasingly frustrated at losing their watches whilst surfing or being in the water during water sport activities.
What made the strap innovative and popular was the simplicity of its design in relation to how effective it was.Geared towards free sports athletes and enthusiasts, Animal watches are fully water resistant and incorporate colours including browns, creams, black and red in addition to some more eye popping colours such as pink, blue and crisp white which are part of the sleek new collection of Animal watches.
In addition to being perfect for sports, Animal watches are great for casual on-the-go everyday wear.The watch straps were a big hit and rapidly became popular after the surfaces sold them to a more extensive market in Hawaii and home of the surfing industry, Australia.
In addition to unisex styles, there are also Animal watches designed specifically for men and women but the general fashion of the watches is cool and edgy with features such as layered straps and chunky dials with patterns incorporating the Animal logo. Animal Watches – The Design Process With minimum funds, the surfers worked in a small bedroom in one of their houses and produced just enough of the straps to sell to their friends who were also surf and water sport enthusiasts as a way of trial and testing the product.
Animal watches are the ultimate extreme sport accessory and will enhance and maximise your performance, whilst of course, with their cool colours and vibrant designs, look fantastically stylish. Function is the primary objective in the design process of Animal watches and these are one of the most durable and robust types in the industry, able to endure the most extreme physical conditions. Animal Watches The Style When the brand was then properly established, the design went beyond the straps to the whole watch and the result is a collection of fresh, cool and edgy watches with a distinct and cutting edge style as well as fantastic durability.
Each product including the range of Animal watches are tried and tested by pro riders from each different sport so you can be assured that your product is fit for athletic standards.
Not only was the strap used for water sports but it also became popular in the snowboarding, skating and mountain biking industries.
Breitling Watches

Breitling Watches And The Celebrities
This can be seen in what is called the “Speed” bracelet and other special finishing touches.Breitling chronographs offer various high-tech features like the flyback function, split second, moon phase, date display, circular slide rule on the bezel and other complications.The GT stands for Grand Tourer, a style of sports car made by Bentley.Breitlings were originally designed for aviation pilot and some of the very technical functions they employ, have in fact turned out to be what has made them some of the most coveted watches today.
Many luxury watch brands enlist celebrities to be their ambassadors / spokespeople and although Breitling does not do this, the company should seriously consider approaching John Travolta.This exclusive system makes it possible to measure average speed, whatever the time elapsed, the distance covered or the speed reached.The GT chronograph exhibits the same sleek power that the Bentley Continental does.Even though many wearers of Breitling watches probably do not know how to operate such complications, nor do they need them, just having them in a watch (the way they look) has made them luxurious, pricey and therefore, desired.
The dials of the Bentley GT feature chromed counter rings and the unique Bentley “diamond quilt” motif that mirrors the upholstery of the sportiest car models.All Breitling for Bentley chronographs have a variable tachometer.Read more: http://www.Such a collection of luxury watches will never go out of style or lack for inspiration for models, hence the new Bentley GMT 2009 Limited Series.The rapper Ludacris goes for the Breitling Super Avenger.As on the GT version, the dial features the “diamond-quilt” motif characteristic of the upholstery.A medallion on the caseback displays the silhouette of the Bentley Continental GT, the most powerful of all cars produced by Bentley.
A partnership with the Bentley automobile brand, another “ultimate” among connoisseurs of luxury goods, has resulted in a collection of watches that have become major status symbols, due to their luxurious aesthetic not to mention price tag.Other celebrities who wear Breitling men’s watches are Leonardo DiCaprio (although this may have been before he became an Ambassador for TAG Heuer) who likes the Chronograph Avenger and Tom Cruise who opts for the Breitling Emergency Mission.The range is wide and I can picture many such as, Jay Z and P Diddy to Donald Trump and the Prime Minister of England.
Since Breitlings really are made for men (there are a few women’s watches), it’s mostly male celebrities that have taken to toting them around their wrists.Breitling watches, named after Leon Breitling, who founded his company in 1884 in Switzerland, have over the years become one of the top luxury watch brands, even though luxury was not what initially drove their creation.One of Breitling’s highest-end collections is Breitling for Bentley.On the technical side, the Bentley GT is equipped with a high-performance movement, chronometer-certified Breitling Calibre 13B with day/date calendar.So, which celebrities can you see sporting one of Breitling for Bentley babies?Fans of the Breitling Navitimer include the comedian Dave Chapelle, “American Idol” TV host Simon Cowell, musician Miles Davis, and actors Tommy Lee Jones and John Lovitz.Pilots required watches with large faces for better visibility and this type of oversized case / face have become an increasingly popular feature among men’s watches.
The Bentley GT Racing model is similar to the GT one but more sophisticated.These watches are made in limited editions of white gold or red gold, with baguette-cut diamonds and diamond-pave dial.Travolta is an avid and certified pilot and has been seen wearing many different Breitlings, but the one he seems to like the best is the Navitimer.
