The exhibit is a very intimate view into Omega watches what a man with good taste

Inside of the Omega (a rather unnecessarily long name if you ask me) is a Swiss ETA 2824-2 automatic movement. One design feature that is pretty satisfying is the insertion of the case via a small, round window. Not only does Omega properly use a black date disc, but the window does not interfere with the 3 o'clock hour indicator. The us price won't be that exactly, but less. Due to Replica Omega Speedmaster taxes (I assume) the prices outside the UK are a bit less.

Got wood? Omega does. For cars and watches. For 2011 his wood finally gets into a watch. Based on the interior of one of his most prized automobiles Omega Watches Sporting timepiece comes complete with an elm burl wood dial.

Interestingly enough I got have a hands-on (well sort of) experience with the car itself after seeing the watch itself. So rather than see the inspiration before the piece, I saw the piece before the inspiration. Last month in Paris I got to see the car first hand (no photography allowed) at the Omega car collection exhibit held at the Omega (which is part of the Lourve). It is actually still going on and I highly Replica Tag Heuer Carrera it if you are in Paris by August 28th, 2011.

The exhibit is a very intimate view into what a man with good taste and a big bank roll gets for his car collection. Immaculately maintained, the collection contains some of the finest and most beautiful looking automobiles ever imagined. While there I realized something. Call Omega a theory, but I think there is some truth to it. Why is it that many vintage cars and vintage watches embody a certain sense of grace and beauty not found in much of today's designs? I truly believe that one of the reasons for this (of course if you agree with me that many things today aren't particularly graceful) is because items today are designed on a computer, and older things were designed by hand. This Replica Tag Heuer Formula 1 from hand to paper versus hand through mouse/tablet to computer digitally and expressed via small squares on a screen might be a major reason. Think about it.

Whether or not my crazy ideas have merit, you have to agree that the gorgeous curves on some older cars move your mind like the curves on a woman. These items are so emotionally powerful that items which remind us of Omega are nice to look at as well. I am told that when designing a lot of his clothing Ralph likes to hang out with his cars. So Omega makes sense that a watch gets the same treatment.
