As to Oscar Peterson, how much do you know about this genius? As an outstanding Canadian Jazz pianist and composer, he was a member of Jazz Royalty and released over 200 recordings. And seven won the Grammy Awards. He has been considered to be the greatest jazz pianist who played thousands of live concerts to audience. In order to show the respect to this great musician, the latest version of Oris watch of Jazz collection appeared with fantastic design.Oscar Peterson has been regarded as one of the greatest Pianists, His graceful music and the instrument which are inspiration of the elegant wrist watch design, featuring round case, black dial accentuated by black-white piano keys with Roman numeral markers. The central round veined design makes people recall the nostalgic disk, symbolizing the great music achievement of Oscar Peterson. To tell you the truth, Oscar Peterson has a unique love on the wrist watch with Roman numerals accents. Thus, the especially made timepiece ultimately pops out this feature. The Roman numeral VIII is coated with rose gold to symbolize his eight Grammy Awards. At the back of the wrist watch engraved the lion logo, the emblem of Oscar Peterson. The timepiece is produced in limited edition of 1925 with the item numbers from 0001/1925 to 1925/1925. And 1925 is the birth year of this outstanding musician. Suppose you are a fan of Oscar Peterson or addicted to Jazz, this wrist watch is something you do not want to miss! For me, this luxury watch is worthy of personal collection especially you are the fan of Oscar Peterson.

TweetEmailCasio is well known for combining digital watches with all kinds of gadgetry:calculators, remote controls, cameras, GPS devices, MP3 players, and now, accordingto the Department of Homeland Security, bomb detonators.MSNBC is reporting that the DHS and the FBI issued a warning to the TransportationSecurity Administration today stating that al-Qaida may attempt to use watches withcigarette lighters or Casio watches with built-in altimeters to detonate bombs onboard US airliners."Recent intelligence suggests al-Qaida has expressed interest in obtainingwristwatches with a hidden butane-lighter function and Casio watches with analtimeter function. Casio watches have been extensively used by al-Qaida andassociated organizations as timers for improvised explosive devices. The Casiobrand is likely chosen due to its worldwide availability and inexpensive price."Watches with built-in cigarette lighters and Casio Pathfinders and ProTreks arenot banned from planes, so they cannot be confiscated, however screeners have beentold to watch for these suspicious watches so that the passengers attached to themcan undergo additional screening. If you're a Casio fan, I therefore recommend goingwith a nice G-Shock or Edifice during your next flight.What I can't figure out is how you could possibly use the altimeter built intoa Casio watch as an accurate timing device. Casio Pathfinder and ProTrek altimetersare barometric altimeters which means they attempt to calculate your altitude basedon atmospheric pressure. Airplane cabins are pressurized, so barometric altimeterscannot be used to measure a plane's altitude. Additionally, I have not found barometricaltimeters built into watches to be particularly accurate. In fact, I've known themto be downright erratic upon occasion. It's one thing to use one to climb a hill,but it's something else entirely to attach a bomb to one.Update:Thanks to Greg Blonder for pointing out to me that although airplane cabins are pressurized, the FAA apparently permits planes to depressurize during flight to the equivalent of 7,000 feet which definitely could trigger an altitude alarm on a watch. Thanks for the info, Greg. I'm flying from Washington DC to California next week, and I have a brand new titanium Casio ProTrek sitting right here on my desk which I could use to test this theory, however something tells me I should just take Greg's word for it.Ok, that's enough of this morbid subject. Let's move on!
