Being a Fish For Awhile

Thursday, December 24th, 2009

Man has always tried to explore the vast and mysterious watery depths in various ways. Diving first appeared 5000 thousand years ago and it had major role in hunting, as well as military and recreational applications. Diving by holding the breath was something koi1taught from early childhood. Divers had their legs bound with ropes and attached to stones and many could reach depths of 31 meters.

Generally and the most importantly, the problem with diving was the inability to breathe under water. In the lack of artificial materials for diving suits, which would make efficient protection for divers, natural ones like leather and wood were used, and later glass and various metals. At the end of the 16th century a diving bell was invented that had an open bottom enabling the air to be captured inside it. Additional bells were added later to refill the air quantity using valves. In 1715 more developed equipment appeared that consisted of a barrel of air with a window made of glass and leather waterproof sleeves. These inventions were limited because they left no space for maneuvering and didn’t have the possibility of constant additional air.

After numerous more or less successful efforts over the centuries, the focus of finding the proper way to cover the face or head and to enable air ventilation lead to the first flexible diving suit created in 1960, a suit that could protect the diver from enormous amount of oxygen which made them intoxicated i.e. anesthetized. The diving suit with a diving apparatus was called ’scuba’, as in ‘Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus’. Only after this invention did diving become swimming under water.

Styles Of Women’s Watches

Friday, December 4th, 2009

It’s rare to find a woman who doesn’t love jewelry. After all, it’s a generally accepted maxim that diamonds are a girl’s best friend, and that the way to a girl’s heart is paved with Tiffany boxes. We love necklaces and chokers, dangly earrings and pearl studs, diamond and ruby rings, delicate tennis bracelets and clunky, chunky bangles.

bulova-ladies-watchOne piece of classic jewelry that we often overlook, though, is the timeless wrist watch. Ever since the Swatch craze died down, you just don’t hear much about women’s watches in the fashion press. And that’s a downright shame because women’s fashion watches are among the best, most utilitarian and most stylish jewelry pieces you can buy. From timeless classic wristwatches to fun and funky watches with interchangeable straps, women’s watches should take the forefront of the fashion jewelry stage.

What should you be looking for in women’s watches? Here’s a handful of the fashion and styles that you’ll be seeing in the stores and on women’s wrists this year.

Fun and Funky Watch Wardrobes

Why give one watch when you can give a whole wardrobe of watches? The concept dates back to the 1970s, when Timex came out with a single watch paired with seven different colored straps that could be swapped out — a different watch for every day.

Invicta has carried this tradition through in several of its women’s watch lines. The Classique from Invicta includes seven interchangeable straps in Hot Pink, Pearl White, Lime Green, Orange, Golden Yellow, Black and Sky Blue and a watch with a mother of pearl face and sixteen diamond accents. The Invicta Baby Lupah features seven straps in the same colors with crocodile embossing, and the Baby Lupah timepiece, a classic timepiece based on the Invicta Lupah watch for men.
