Lets not tell time!

One of the hottest things in the watch market today is the all black or Phantom type watches. There are a few companies manufacturing these models promoting the unreadability and unusual style.
The Bell & Ross Phantom, a limited edition run of both the BR01 and BR03 models, and are mostly sold out. Black dial, black hands, and black numbers and markers. These watches are designed for stealth fighter pilots who operate stealth aircraft capable of sliding past radars and are virtually invisible to the enemy. The all black watches reflect no light, but suprisingly glow a dark green for some very slight visibility in the dark cabin.
U-Boat has the model 1851 Flightdeck Eclipse 50 Black, all black case with black dial and black hands. Going along with the stealth style, this watch features a funky textured dial, that is rather hard to detect.
Hublot also has a limited edition Big Bang version called the All Black, not as stealth as the Bell & Ross, but all black in color and very trendy. Big Bangs are very desirable, especially the all black with some being limited to only 25 pieces.
Hamilton is the next to come out with the Below Zero 1000M H78585333, a 1000 meter diving watch all black hands, dial and numbers. This watch has sold very well (regular production) and is an incredible value for the money, it comes with a black rubber strap as well as a black PVD stainless steel bracelet.
Who would have thought, that the next trend and fashion statement in watches is not about telling time.

As the tourists start rolling in for the Grand Prix, U Boat continues to draw them in from our store front window. There's something about their look that everyone seems to like. We have a vast array of watch brands, and every price range Bell & Ross Tourbillon, solid Gold Corum Admirals Cup Challenge 44 and the list goes on, but U Boat seems to be what every client has been drawn in to see.
The U Boat Classico Z 45 model 1818 is one of the most popular, especially because it is priced extremely well, then the Flightdeck Z 50 models stack up in second place. The problem sometimes is trying to keep them in stock.
U-Boat has already had a big impact on the men's watch world. To prove it, check out the list of famous fans including Sylvester Stallone, Tom Cruise, Ralph Lauren, David Beckham and John Legend.
You have to give Italo Fontana credit for coming up with such a simple and pleasing design.
Ron Hami: Classic Avant-Garde

Ron Hami has deep seeded roots in the jewelry trade; he comes from a family of jewelry experts. He runs his company with the help of his brother, Eli, out of Los Angeles. Ron Hami pieces are created in a variety of gold materials. Not only yellow, but also white, rose, and black gold are used and adorned with natural gems of many varieties. While being extremely avant-garde, many classic aspects of design are evident. The use of bead cut diamonds - like in the caviar carved earrings - is an example of antique design concepts.
On his website, it is stated that 'the jewelry design of Ron Hami is inspired by natural and spiritual influences.' The fact that Ron Hami intertwines these two aspects into his designs, is what I believe makes his pieces so beautiful and honest. The carved collection exemplifies this notion.
Ron Hami's vision is also quite diversified, and he continuously dazzles us with new collections. We will keep our eye on this budding jeweler star, and I recommend you do the same.
