Perfect gift

This weekend 3 of my friends celebrate their birthday! So I will have to buy them gifts. I love to go shopping and look at the latest collections and find something that will represent that person.

This watch is perfect for boys but also girls with funky clothing habbits. And I believe that you can't go wrong with a watch, no matter what.
Accessorises are the perfect gift also for boys or girls, there are never too many.
A girl will always be happy when she will receive another pair of earings or necklace, bracelet or a funky cool watch.
With boys I always find it difficult to buy the perfect gift. Buying clothes or shoes is kind of hard because you really need to know their measure. But if you buy a hat, a bag or a brand luxury watch (if you have the budget) then you will impress him.
So this are my options for Sean, Mary and Ben:
Sean watch

Mary necklace
And this was Ben wish!

I hope that they will be happy, I know for sure that Ben will be more then excited!

Timepieces - between invention and progress

Since the invention of time, man has created objects and tools for telling and reading it. Hourglasses, sundials,  clocks and watches have all helped tell time. With technological evolution new innovative ways for telling time  emerge. We now have unprecedented tools, materials and productions techniques to produce timepieces which  push the technological limits.
The clock is one of the oldest human inventions, meeting the need to consistently measure intervals of time shorter than the natural units: the day; the lunar month; and the year. Devices operating on several different physical processes have been used over the millennia, culminating in the clocks of today.
The history of timekeeping and the inventions of watches and clocks is a long one.  Telling time has been a concern from man's earliest recorded history.  Man's development of the modern day watch and clock is a remarkable story.
While the designs are innovative and represent time  in a plethora of ways, many of them are perhaps a little too complicated. flashing leds, equalizers and animations  are only some of the ways these watches tell time.
