Is Your Watch Accident Proof?

When you’re riding a motorcycle, very few things (depending on the type of accident you may be subjected to) are accident proof. Not your watch—not your body. That’s why you never get on a motorcycle without stellar motorcycle insurance and the name of a great motorcycle accident lawyer.

Watches Built Specifically For Motorcycle Riders

Time flies when you’re riding a motorcycle so you better keep an eye on your watch; wouldn’t want to be late to pick up your date after all. So in addition to motorcycle wear, gear and jewelry—there are motorcycle watches. These watches are built for style but are also rugged enough to withstand the vibration of riding a motorcycle. In an accident however, if that watch isn’t covered by long gloves or the cuff of your leather jacket, it doesn’t stand much of a chance. That watch is under the same kind of risk as are your limbs, face, head and spine. They don’t make watch helmets… At least not yet. Triumph, makers of the infamous motorcycle, also just happen to make Triumph watches. Go figure!

Of Course Those Aren’t The Only Watches In Town

Kawasaki, Honda, Yamaha, and of course Harley Davidson all make motorcycle watches. They run the gamut from truly stylish, to truly rugged, to both. You can find these watches highly discounted online, as you can see, or you can spend more for them at a department store or at a fine jewelers.

Then again you can always have one custom made at a fine jeweler.

What Kind of Jewelry Will We See at the Oscars?

What is the most predictable question asked on the red carpet…? “And who are you wearing?” Not what are you wearing, but who.

Your Necklace Is By Whom?

When it comes to designer clothing and celebrity style, many of us recognize the clothing designers’ names. And then there are the jewelers. Much of the jewelry that is worn by the star studded attendees of awards shows such as the Academy Awards are actually borrowed. The jeweler hopes that their celebrity will be stopped on the red carpet and they will have a chance to show off their wares. Don’t be surprised if you don’t recognize the names.

Emeralds and Diamonds And Gems… Oh my!

Can you afford the jewelry of the stars? Heck the stars themselves can’t afford it! That’s why it’s on loan. Celine Dion, Annette Bening, Reese Witherspoon and Amy Adams all gravitate toward diamonds. Colors, diamonds and platinum have been seen on Mickey Rourke, Phoebe Cates, Heidi Klum and Angelina Jolie. When it comes to other accessories, let’s say shoes, Prada and (Sex and the City Carrie Bradshaw’s favorite) Manolo Blahnik rule.
Once these works of art are seen on the red carpet however, it’s almost guaranteed that knockoffs will be available to the general public soon after.
