Jaeger Le Coultre – The return of the Aston Martin partnership

The 19th edition of the SIHH — Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie was recently held on 20th January in Geneva. The reviews and snap shots have begun to flow in and one watch brand that created quite a buzz was Jaeger Le Coultre. Regarded as makers of the best diver’s watches, Jaeger had some new and interesting additions to its portfolio this year. I am talking about the new range of AMVOX models that have created quite a stir and there is a reason to it — after a considerable gap, Jaeger has re-entered the realm of a watch-car enterprise by announcing the renewal of its partnership with Aston Martin. The resulting creation is the AMVOX2 DBS Transponder.

The DBS is an incredible watch-cum-gadget as the Aston can be locked/unlocked with just a feather tap on its sapphire crystal! Obviously, you have to own an Aston Martin DBS first to get your hands on this exclusive beauty. The creation conveys lavishness with ease, showing-off a heavy 18 K golden rose, complemented by some dazzling sapphire crystals. However, Jaeger–LeCoultre didn’t totally wander off its core area of expertise — diving watches and gave a glimpse of the future of such watches at the SIHH in the form of Master Compressor Diving Pro Geographic Navy SEALs.  

Its name leaves literally nothing much to imagination and this is a truly ‘outdoors’ sports watch, meant to withstand immense depths of water. It incorporates a mechanically installed depth gauge with a rather biggish compression chamber. Jaeger Le Coultre is among the few ‘original’ Swiss watch manufactures that still independently produce their masterpieces and the Master Compressor stands testament to Swiss watch innovation at its best. It is a power house with 48 hours of reserve time and a scratch-resistant bezel that would last a lifetime.

Easy Basement Design

Basement design and basement finishing necessities are usually disregarded at the new home design and construction phase. Finishing your basement is a quick, simple and money-saving way to add up to 30 to 90 percent additional living space to your house.

To make your basement design easy to work with, there are some factors you need to keep in mind. You should attempt to prevent water leaks or seepage, improve your finished basement height, organize your basement utilities and plan your basement support structure, windows and access. Jot down these factors and work around them when planning your basement design.

You may then think about tackling moisture, mold and mildew; framing and finishing the walls; finishing the ceiling, windows, doors and stairs; safeguarding your investment. The final consideration to take is the theme of your basement. Once you’ve decided on a particular theme, you can easily select your furniture, accessories and fixtures without the confusion. Think practical first, then decorative. Working in phases will also help speed up the process. For instance, make a schedule when you’re going to work on the plumbing, electrical systems, furniture and so on. Before you even hammer down a nail, make sure you have enough time to work on your project, otherwise you may end up with a half-done basement. For jobs that are too difficult for you to do on your own, you could always hire a contractor for assistance.

Cooking up a basement design is generally a long and difficult process, which involves drawing concepts, creating scale drawings and attempting to envision what the revamped space might look like. Fortunately, we can now use computer software to make designing our basements easier and faster. With a piece of computer software, you can easily layout the design and even preview your virtual basement. All you have to do is use specific measurements to ascertain everything is to scale.

Running out of basement remodeling ideas? As you can see, creating a basement design for your new living space doesn’t have to be complicated. Simply start with the practical pieces and move on with the decorative ones using new technology to quicken the process.
