Movado Bold Chronograph Watch
black.
After firmly type-casting themselves as offering the museum dial watch and only the museum dial watch, Movado has been relatively successful lately in offering some different (and mostly) appealing designs to mix things up a bit. It is true that for years they have offered other deigns, but the museum dial watch is what seems to define them. So taking the “sun 12 o’clock” indicator and playing around with new designs, Movado has been able to successfully offer a range of “other” watches over the years.
An example is this is the simply named Movado Bold Chronograph. It comes in black and white (possibly a few other colors) . It has the simplicity of the museum dial, with a modern look and more utility. Don’t miss the actual hour markers! The case is 42.5mm wide and comes in a plastic case (OK, “polymer”) that is cheaper than coated steel or ceramic. The movement is a Swiss ETA quartz chronograph, and it comes on a matching leather strap. Price for this quite attractive fashion forward watch is $495.

Mukesh Ambani's Billion Dollar Home.
Marking the end of seven years of construction work, India’s richest man is planning a housewarming party for his 27-story palatial new home in Mumbai, replete with no fewer than three helipads and an air-traffic control station on its roof. The 570-foot-tall glass tower, called Antilia, “features a swimming pool, a health club, a salon and a mini-theatre,” reports the Times of India. “The first six levels comprise the garage where more than 160 cars can be parked. Atop the parking lot is Antilia’s lobby, which has nine elevators.” The house also has a garden that can accommodate trees, according to the Telegraph, and a separate ballroom. About 600 staffers will be required to run Antilia, named after the mythical island in the Atlantic.
