Living In Class-Nathan Fillion And The Rolex Datejust II

nathan-fillionFor those who believe in not just being different but living with a difference, Rolex has conceptualized just the perfect time-piece. This time-piece that stands for rich style and brilliant craftsmanship is all about keeping time luxuriously. We are talking about the Rolex Datejust II here, a watch that symbolises the marriage of clever craftsmanship with the art of timekeeping. It is a rare watch that personifies maximum character with minimum drama. In other words the Rolex Datejust II epitomises absolute class.

Like any other Rolex this is also not just a watch of brilliant looks and a lavish name, but one designed for being a “forever watch”. Speaking of its durability, the case of Datejust II has been carved out of non-corrosive 904L steel. Apart from the magnificent strength that the watch unleashes with its 904L steel case, the flexible bracelet readily provides it with robustness. The bracelet has been designed for easy flexibility and rapid extension. The feature that aids in expanding bracelet length has been added to the watch for maximum comfort.

The Datejust II Oyster Perpetual is a series that comes in 41 mm steel with a silver, sunray finish dial. The smooth case combined with sturdiness of base material depicts strength that shines through. This time-piece is set in an oyster bracelet and has a mechanical, self-winding movement making it easier for the wearer to manage time.

Why Rolex Datejust II, is the real question here. Where one has a number of other varieties to choose from within the Rolex universe, how is Rolex Datejust II different? The essence of the Rolex Datejust II is in its subtle power. The watch speaks a lot about itself. Even though there is little glamour in this time-piece, the watch has a certain attraction to it. Call it the magnificence of its lustre or merely the charm of its simplicity, the watch is a masterpiece. To put it in a single sentence it can be said that this time-piece is the perfect exemplification of “Bold and Beautiful”.

rolex-datejust-iiJust like the powerful aura of the Rolex Datejust II watches is the presence of Nathan Fillion, a Canadian actor born on March 27, 1971. Nathan Fillion is one actor whose presence on the screen, big or small. The actor has a subtle sense of style that speaks volume about his confidence and fearlessness. Nathan Fillion has not only been blessed with great acting skills but an attractive voice too. This is why he was called to lend his voice to the animated series, King of the Hill, in 2001.

Humour and wit add another charm to his personality. The actor has featured in a number of sitcoms including Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place. The small screen has particularly not able to withstand his charisma. In the year 2002, Nathan Fillion was casted in Joss Whedon science fiction television series Firefly, as Captain Malcolm Reynolds. In the year 2006 he won Syfy Genre Awards for Best Actor/Television and was runner-up for Best Actor/Movie. At present he is starring as Richard Castle on the ABC series Castle.

Classic Shine Redefined – Evangeline Lilly And Rolex Lady-Datejust

evangeline-lillyIt is just so impossible to let the classics part away from our minds. Nothing strange with the unique Rolex watches too.

A wide palette of colors, decors and motifs gives any lady the choice to find her own perfect match in the form of a classic Rolex Lady-Datejust. With the process of the gold crystallization, the Rolex Lady-Datejust’s Gold Crystals dial is obtained. The process of gold crystallization is developed by Rolex and is produced in its own foundry. This particular Rolex dial can be found in yellow, grey or pink, or decorated with motifs.

When the Oyster bezel fluting was introduced in its earlier days, it had a functional purpose – screwing the bezel onto the case to ensure the waterproofness of the watch. Over time, the fluting became a purely aesthetic element, a genuine Rolex signature feature. The Oyster bezel fluting is today a mark of distinction that is only available on yellow, Everose or white gold models. All the dials of this brand new design of the Rolex Lady-Datejust are graced with 10 diamonds which add to the originality and radiance of the watch face.

Staying Alive With Time – Rolex Submariner And Chad Robert Kroeger

rolex-submarinerBefore being patented by Rolex’s own triple-seal Triplock winding crown, the Rolex Submariner became the first watch to be water-resistant up to 100 meters under the surface of the water. It was introduced by Rolex in the year 1953. The triple-seal Triplock winding crown incorporated later in the Rolex Submariner made this unique timepiece withstand a depth of 300 meters beneath the water bed on this blue planet. Only few bunches of people are allowed inside a Rolex Oyster. Those Rolex retailers who have the necessary know-how, skills and equipment to gain access and have been certified by Rolex itself, are allowed to gain access.

Sealed strongly to the Oyster case with a force of five newton meters, the back of any Oyster, as this caseback demonstrates, creates an environment that protects the movement of the watch from shocks, magnetic fields, dust, water and all other kinds of hostile factors. The Oyster case was invented by Rolex in the year 1926 to protect the movement of the watch from water and dust. Later on, in the year 1953, Rolex created and patented the Twinlock winding crown to ensure further protection for the professional divers all over the world. Then, in 1970, Rolex introduced the Triplock winding crown.

The Triplock is made up of 10 different elements which have been crafted from some of the most reliable materials. Once all these elements are assembled together, it screws down on to the Oyster case as tightly as the submarine hatch. Another key feature of the Rolex Submariner is its rotatable bezel. The graduations provide the diver with an accurate indication of diving time. For safety reasons, it only runs counter-clockwise. This leaves no chance of overestimating dive time or the amount of breathing mix remaining in the tanks. The luminescent capsule ensures legibility.

Another unique feature of Rolex Submariner is the Ceramic bezel. A bezel with a blue, black or green Cerachrom insert graces the Submariner-Date’s 40 mm case. Made from extremely hard ceramic material, the Rolex Cerachrom insert has excellent corrosion-resistant properties. Its color remains unaffected by ultraviolet rays and it is virtually scratchproof. The numerals and the graduations are in yellow gold or platinum.chad-robert-kroger Boring down deep into the world of music, popular Canadian rock band Nickelback lead vocalist and guitarist Chad Robert Kroeger has been one of those few rock musicians who has maintained his own style and continues to woo his audience with his head-banging and heart rending music.

Apart from being the lead figure in Nickelback, Chad Robert Kroeger has been involved with a variety of collaborations, appearing as a guest musician in several songs and has contributed in both production and songwriting. He has co-written several songs for other artists and for films. Some of his popular rock numbers are “Rockstar”, “Photograph”, “Burn it to the ground”, “How you remind me”, “Hero” and many more.

Special In A Special Way – Rolex Datejust Special Edition And Carrie Anne Moss

rolex-datejust-special-editionThe Rolex Datejust Special Edition is a perfect example of wonderful union of the art of timekeeping and high craftsmanship. The Rolex Datejust Special Edition is a bold incarnation of a feminine classic. The 18 ct Everose gold of the Rolex Datejust Special Edition sets the tone of the watch from the outset. It exerts an irresistible power of seduction and gives the watch an extremely inescapable beauty in its personality. Stone-setters just like the sculptors, carve the material to hand shape the seat in which the precious stone needs to be perfectly lodged in. Thereafter, with an extremely precise gesture, the stone is placed in the watch.

Each of these stones are meticulously oriented, adjusted, and aligned with the others, firmly secured in its gold or platinum setting by folding over a section of the metal. Around the Everose gold bezel lays the sparkling 12 brilliantly cut diamonds, elegantly showcased in 18 ct white gold settings. This creates a luminous, exquisite and enchanting effect on the Rolex Datejust Special Edition. As long as 2800 years ago in India, diamond was used in India as a symbol of might, strength and courage. It was specially used in the jewellery by the royal clan of the country.

Though stone-setters work on precious stones most of the times, they also leave their mark of real genius on metals, like the calligraphers on paper. Most of them put their personal signature stamp on each piece, a mark that makes each gem-set watch unique and the work of an individual stone-setter. The Rolex Datejust Special Edition is available in 34 mm, yellow gold and diamonds, 34 mm white gold, 34 mm white gold and diamond and 34 mm Everose gold.It won’t be too hyped a comparison if this unique watch is compared with the fame of Canadian actress Carrie Anne Moss.carrie-anne-moss Keeping in mind the strength of a woman that was portrayed by her in most of her films have established her as one of the most respected and sought after actresses in Hollywood.

Her role as Trinity in the “Matrix” trilogy earned her huge popularity. In the entire “Matrix” franchise, she was the one who was considered to be the pivotal character in driving Neo (Keanu Reeves) in achieving victory over the evil. Known as one of the best sci-fi flicks in the history of Hollywood, “Matrix” trilogy always holds the name of few actors who were responsible in making the movie and its sequels as one of the biggest Hollywood blockbusters of all time. Carrie Anne Moss is also known for her memorable roles in “Memento”, “Chocolat”, “Fido” and “Unthinkable”. Carrie Anne Moss provided voice-overs for video game and animated spin-offs of the film. Coincidentally, she had previously co-starred in an unrelated made-in-Canada television series also entitled Matrix.
