Watch Collector Case



So if your a big watch collector, then this would be a pretty good investment for you.  Even if your not, this is awesome and can definitely come in handy for your watches.  It is called a Pelican case.  Talk about the perfect way to keep your watches safe.  No chance you'll lose a watch with this.


This case holds 32 watches and is going for $130.

And there's also a case that holds 4 watches...


Garmin Golf GPS Watch

Ok, so maybe you would only get this if you play golf, BUT, it makes for a great digital watch as well.  The watch is directly communicated via satellite so wherever you are, with one click of a button, it searches and finds the course you are at and links up so it tells you your exactly yardage to the hole.  Along with yardage to the front, middle, and back of the green.  Check its site out here.


427 yards to the hole on hole #1.  and now for it as a watch:





The Nike Fuel Band

I have a fuel band and it is great.  It lists how many steps you take each day, how many calories you burn, how much nike+ fuel you need to go in order to reach your daily goal, and what time it is! It is a great watch.   The battery last at least 5 days and it is all digital, looking pretty cool on your wrist.  Here are some pics:



The only question you might have is what is nike+ fuel? Well, it goes along with an App you can download on your phone of which you sync your daily activity to so it keeps track of your entire history with it.  Also, it is for a program that it comes with that you can also just keep track on your computer with.  The nike+fuel is based upon how much energy you want to use each day.  For example, most people do 2,000 nike fuel, which is a pretty standard day with about an hour worth of exercise and along with your movement throughout the day, then you should easily reach it.  AND, when this happens, it lights up in all different colors saying "GOAL" 

I definitely recommend this for a watch as well.

Kentucky Derby Commercial: Longines


This commercial appeared during the Kentucky Derby yesterday, May 4th 2013.  I was watching and noticed it and learned about these Longines watches, who was the official sponsor for the event.  The winner and the trainer of the race both received a Longines watch for their victory.  I am really impressed with this brand; I mean if its the main watch of the Kentucky Derby then you know it's very expensive.  This is the Kentucky Derby we're talking about, filled with the wealthy people from all over coming to watch this event.  The hats and outfits are another story, pretty self-explanatory there, but I thought this watch commercial was pretty cool as it got widespread attention it.  Check it out.

A Playlist of Songs about Watches




1.  "Phone Numbers"- Wiz Khalifa

-"Time is money so i went and bought a Rolex"

This is part of the chorus of the song, making it revolve around the thought of if you put in the work every day, you could buy a Rolex with enough money.  The "time is money" aspect, is a play of words. Moreover, it is also symbolizing the expensiveness of Rolex and the greatness of a Rolex as well.

2.  "Racks" - YG ft Wiz Khalifa

-"Lookin' at my Roley, bout 30 grand what that cost"

"Roley" is a slang word for Rolex, which is what Wiz (again) is talking about here.  

3.  "Mr. Nice Watch" - J. Cole ft Jay-Z

-"Hello Mr. Nice Watch"

This song is all about your favorite watch.  They talk about making history with their watch on.  The watch, Audemars Piguet, is also referenced in the 3rd verse of the song.

4.  "Clocks" - Coldplay

-"Confusion never stops, closing walls and ticking clocks"

Colplay is talking about how time caves in; time is working against him as he wishes to take someone back regardless of how long it takes him.

5.  "Blowin Money Fast" - Rick Ross

"I think I'm Big Meech, look at my time piece.  It anodomere hundred racks at least"

Ross is talking about his watch.  Admiring his watch.  "Anodomere" is the Audemars Piguet that he is talking about.  He slangs the word to make it go with the song (common with rap songs).

6.  "Mercy" - Pusha T

-"My Audemars like Mardi Gras"


7.  "Tik Tok" - Ke$ha

-"Tik Tok on the clock"

The whole is about how partying never ends (time reference)

8  "Too much time on my hands" - Styx

-"I've got too much time on my hands"

9.  "My Audemars" - DJ drama, Meek Mill

-"Imma shine, just like my Audemars, my Audemars"
-"Hundred stacks, Franck Watch"

Recently came out off of a mixtape.  The Franck watch is the Franck Mueller watch, the rapper Birdman has a few of them that he wears persistently in his music videos and celebrity appearances.  

10.  "Ca$hin out" (remix) - Akon 

-"Got an island on my wrist, girl, I'm cashin' out"

This was not the original song, but Akon did a remix to it and says this line in his verse.  

LA Ferrari MP-05 Hublot Watch




This is one of the sweetest Ferrari watches I have seen.  Made by Hublot, it has a titanium case, and more movements than you can imagine a watch to have; like this thing also uses black aluminum cylinders that are used to tell the time.  Forget your regular time and hour hands with this one.  It also has a leather carbon fiber case.
