He thought it might link be a clock but the idea was dismissed as impossible – oh, sure, those ancient Greeks might have done a fine job inventing, you know, thinking, link but nobody took seriously the idea that they might have put their minds to the link task of making something like a clock. But in the 1970s, x-ray images of the fragments made it clear that link under all the corrosion was, in fact, a mechanism – what's now known as the Antikythera Mechanism.

Most women I know care primarily about design and that's ok to call link out. Women also all have different tastes from one another in watches, accessories, and just about link everything else: Sometimes we like pink and sometimes we like black.

Let me explain SAXEM (or better yet, read Sarah Miller's description of it here, which is quite possibly link the world's greatest ever verbal articulation/explanation of a watch brand's proprietary material). For the sake of this article, I'll give link you a brief rundown. SAXEM is a link material compound that gets its color from rare earth minerals and has a cubic (four-sided) form. Unlike sapphire crystal, which link gets its color from metallic oxides and has a trigonal (three-sided) structure.

I bought a nice felt link tray to go in the link safe for my watches and a folio for all my important documents (including the marriage certificate; can't lose that).
