Argonaut 1000 TQ diving instrument by CX Swiss Military WatchCX Swiss Military Watch has recently revealed its new Argonaut 1000 TQ diving watch.Powered by the Ronda cal. 5030.D quartz chronograph movement and featuring a helium escapement valve, the watch has a guaranteed water resistance of up to 1000 meters and its titanium bracelet has an integrated extension to use the watch with a diving suit.While making the watch more affordable, the use of the Ronda’s quartz movement also makes it less distinctive. Like a great number of other watches that feature the same quartz caliber, the new Argonaut 1000 TQ sports the inevitable tri-compass dial layout with a central chronograph hand, 30-minute counter at 9 o’clock, 12-hour totalizer at 6 o’clock and a small-seconds sub-dial at 3 o’clock. As usual, the standard date window is located at 4 o’clock.Well, this one is definitely not a fashion watch but a diving instrument, which makes its standardized dial more of a merit rather than a disadvantage. You can read elapsed time interval at a single glance without loosing precious seconds trying to figure out what is where.And if that is not enough, consider this: the movement sells on the gray market at about $60, which makes it more expensive than mass-produced automatic chronograph movements made by ETA. So, it is not some cheap piece of Asian plastic.The watch sports a titanium case 46mm in diameter with rubber details that tips the scales at only 188g. Extra water resistance is ensured by screw-down pushpieces and crown.To make sure that the Argonaut 1000 TQ will sell at the recommended price of €1398, the guys from CX Swiss Military Watch limited the series to only 200 units. So, if you want one, you’ll have to hurry up.

By now, most of you have probably seen some version of the Marc Jacobs Coated Leather MJ Satchel in person, and if you have, you know exactly what I mean when I say that it doesn't remind me of any designer back I've seen in the last few years, and maybe ever. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing, but I always appreciate innovation.The most striking thing about this bag when you see it in person is how perfectly smooth the leather is; in fact, I didn't really believe it was leather when I first picked up one of these. But it is, just super slick and without any sign of grain or natural imperfection. Whether or not you'll like that depends on your personal style, I suppose. Personally, I find this bag and the materials used to make it absolutely fascinating; I merely wish it came in a black and grey version.Upon touching this bag, the first thing that you notice is that it's very, very stiff. The inflexibility helps out with the traditional look and structure of the bag, and it allows the leather's shine to, well, shine. The coating on the bag isn't as shiny as patent, but it still gives the Replica Marc Jacobs handbags a flawless, almost fake quality. And I mean that in a generally positive way; up close, the leather is unlike basically anything else I've seen on a bag lately.With thick, structured leather comes heft, though, which is probably the main downside of this satchel. Marc Jacobs bags always tend to be heavy, and this one is no exception, although I don't think the weight is prohibitive. If you want a bag that will sag with age, this one isn't it, but the space-age material gives this traditional satchel a thoroughly modern edge.In general, I think that phrase "too much is never enough" is useful when trying to explain certain sectors of fashion, particularly to those who aren't interested in the industry or in understanding the genius of fabulous fashion eccentrics like Anna Dello Russo or Daphne Guinness. Rococo is always alive and well somewhere within the style world, even during harsh economic times, and its exuberant resilience is to the industry's credit.Sometimes rococo runs headlong into a wall, though, as with the Marc Jacobs Large Sequined Stam. I like the Stam bags (I even have one from way back in the second season that they were around), I like sequins, I like the blush-nude color that we have going on here. But unfortunately, the end result is less than the sum of its parts.As you can probably guess, my main gripe is with the side of the paillettes. They're enormous, far too big for something the size of a regular handbag, and they give the bag a very South Florida-grandma-at-the-retirement-home feel. Part of that may also be caused by the color, but with smaller sequins, the effect would have been more high-end and elegant. I can see the spirit of fun that probably went into this replica handbags, but the idea just doesn't work out as well in practice as it might have on paper.
