The Swiss Made Automatic — A Timelessly Classic Swiss Watch That Doesn’t Cost More Than A House
Swiss-made watches are the finest in the world and that quality craftsmanship can cost anywhere between thousands on up to millions for the most extravagant and rare timepieces. What exactly causes these watches to cost so much? Most people don’t know because it’s one of the most secretive industries on the planet. That’s where Brathwait comes into play. They are the most transparent Swiss watchmaker around, sharing every detail of the watch making process with their customers.
This week, Brathwait released a gorgeous new watch, The Swiss Made Automatic. It takes 8-10 weeks for the watchmakers to assemble this endlessly stylish watch, so if you’re interested in ordering one for yourself then you’ll want to get on that now. Features include:
Swiss Calibre SW 260 – Reliable and nearly inaudible, this automatic movement has 31 jewels and operates at 28,800 beats per hour. Boasting a 38 hour power reserve when fully wound, the watch is powered by kinetic energy created from the movement of your hand.
Luminous Dial and Hands – A half sphere of luminous material is fitted behind every index marker in the Swiss Automatic and while barely visible to the eye in daylight, the half sphere is the only thing you’ll see at night. Both hands are also filled with luminous material.
Domed Sapphire Crystal – Sapphire crystal is a staple of all luxury watches. BRATHWAIT’s sapphire crystal is three times harder than mineral crystal, promising scratch-resistance and durability.
Italian Leather Straps – Utilizing top grain Italian leather, BRATHWAIT ensures that your watch will last a lifetime. These premium straps will darken and soften with use, in essence, getting better with age.
My interest is very piqued, and I’m borderline infatuated with this gorgeous watch. For more photographs and information, to check out other watches from Brathwait, or to order yours today you follow that link below!
Anker SoundCore Boost — Water-Resistant 20W Bluetooth Speaker w/ 12 Hour Playtime
Take your music anywhere and everywhere this Summer with the latest and greatest Bluetooth speaker from Anker. I’ve become a massive Anker junky over the past year, first getting hooked on their iPhone lightning cables and later finding that their workout Bluetooth headphones are awesome. Now, I’m coming around to the SoundCore Boost, an amazingly powerful and portable Bluetooth speaker that puts out 20W of sound, is water-resistant, has 12 hours of playback, works as a portable battery, AND has a 66-foot Bluetooth range so your phone isn’t stuck within a few feet of the speaker all day. This is definitely a Bluetooth speaker you bros should consider purchasing, if you’re in the market for such an item…

Earlier, I came across this article of the most over-the-top billionaire toys on Business Insider and one item that caught my attention was Elon Musk’s spy submarine. At an auction 4 years ago, Elon Musk purchased the Lotus Esprit driven by James Bond himself in The Spy Who Loved Me. Later, Elon remarked that he’d like to use his considerable wealth to actually retrofit this working submarine to make it a true spy submarine…Which is pretty f’n awesome.
Naked Turtle White Rum — Save A Sea Turtle With Every Bottle Sold
Do you like rum, the unofficial spirit of pirates everywhere? I’ll assume the answer is yes. Do you like sea turtles, or at the very least think that it’s worth saving a few sea turtles here and there? Yes, you do…Still with me? Earlier this week, in honor of World Sea Turtle Day, the Naked Turtle White Rum company announced that going forward they’re partnering with The Sea Turtle Conservancy and for every bottle of Naked Turtle White Rum sold they will save a baby sea turtle.
It’s estimated that only 1 out of every 1,000 baby sea turtles make it to adulthood. You can do your part by drinking rum and saving the world one baby turtle at a time. To find where you can purchase the rum just follow that link below!
This one is self-explanatory. The first day of Summer was earlier this week and that means I’ll be spending more time in my new pool than ever before. I’m always on the hunt for a good pool float, this 6-foot-long pizza slice pool float is perfect.
