What You Want To Know About Watch Luminant

Have you ever thought about what causes your watch to glow in the dark?This subject has a very colorful and dubious history. It started early in the 20th century, around 1910, when some companies began to use radium on watch dials and hands to create a ?��glow in the dark" effect. Radium is an almost pure white alkaline radioactive earth metal, and is found in nature in uranium ores. It was discovered by Marie and Pierre Curie in 1898. What Marie Curie discovered was that a test tube of radium emitted a ?��fairy-like glow,?�� and she kept a vial next to her bedside as a kind of night light.

And that's the sport that this Oris model is commemorating - rally racing.But it's not just any rally, it's the RAID Suisse-Paris, which features classic cars taking a 600-mile route starting in Basel, and finishing in Paris. Oris has been the official

H.R. Giger Passagen By Atelier Morpheus Watch Review

I really wish that H.R. Giger was asked to do most of the movies that Tim Burton ended up doing. I don't hide the fact that I think Tim Burton (aside from a few good works such as Beetlejuice and Nightmare Before Christmas), is an incredibly bad movie maker and director. It is almost tragic how many classics he was able to utterly ruin for people. Really, who keeps seeing these movies and giving him work? He is really just best as an art director. H.R.
