			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Ballon Bleu de Cartier is a watch that’s said to traverse boundaries with its unique design and aesthetic. The rounded case and back gives the watch a rounded, almost pebble like quality. When it sits on the wrist the watch appears to float above the surface of the skin because of this convex back.<br />
<span id="more-1659"></span></p>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 117px"><a href="http://www.bankslyon.co.uk/details.php?product=16008"><img class=" " title="Balon Bleu de Cartier Ladies" src="http://www.bankslyon.co.uk/showimage.php?image=resources/cartier/WE902030.jpg&amp;width=178.824200913" alt="" width="107" height="194" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">A flwaless, smooth and rounded design</p></div>
<p>With such astonishing design qualities, the <a href="http://www.bankslyon.co.uk/details.php?product=16008">Ladies Cartier Ballon Bleu</a> is a sight to behold because it features all the tell tale signs of a classic Cartier, a highly respected watch maker that manages to effortlessly step between a stylish masculinity and a sophisticated feminine aesthetic. The blue hands and sapphire cabochon of Cartier compliment a ladies watch so well that it’s hard to remember that it works equally effectively on the male version.</p>
<p>The Ladies model of the Ballon Bleu is available in a remarkably small size. The case has a diameter of 28.6 mm, which is a size that is so small that this watch will actually stand out in comparison to regularly sized models because the look is unique in shape and size. In comparison to the other luxury watches on the market at the moment, this watch is very small, but that’s precisely what adds to its irreducible charm.</p>
<p>In recent years, female watch aficionados have been flexing their commercial muscles and have encouraged many major watch manufacturers to take them as a serious part of the watch collecting market. It is a positive step to see a major model release like the Ballon Bleu that traverses the gender barrier so perfectly. The benefit of large manufacturers addressing this female consumer base is that we benefit from more gorgeous and largely gender neutral designs like the Ballon Bleu de Cartier. Models in this style are creating a new wave of sophistication in the luxury watch market.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="mceTemp">Mont Blanc pens epitomize high quality and elegance, with their smooth sleek shape; their longevity; and their beautiful unique writing style, which exudes elegance as soon as it touches the paper. Their intricate yet classic designs are examples of the finest craftsmanship, making them instantly recognisable as the world’s highest quality luxury brand of pens. As well as being such an impressive pen, they are also designed to accommodate the comfort and ease of the writer. Through their prestigious reputation, the Mont Blanc pen has become a symbol of high recognition, and owning one &#8211; an indication of authority and impeccable taste.<br />
<span id="more-1703"></span></div>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 136px"><a href="http://www.bankslyon.co.uk/mont-blanc-pens-.php"><img class="   " title="Mont Blanc Pens" src="http://admin.bankslyon.co.uk/showimage.php?image=../sites/Bankslyon/resources/blog/mont-blanc-meisterstruck.jpg" alt="" width="126" height="126" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">A tool for absolute writing perfection</p></div>
<p>Mont Blanc pens are made from the highest quality materials, ensuring smooth, reliable writing and the kind of longevity which you would expect from a high end name.  <a href="http://www.bankslyon.co.uk/mont-blanc-pens-.php">Mont Blanc pens</a> are carefully crafted with the finest materials, including platinum, precious resin and 18k gold. Mont Blanc pens are identified by the iconic six-pointed star with rounded points which is situated on the cap of each pen, representative of the Mont Blanc snowcap viewed from above. Some pens also incorporate the number ‘4810’ which is the mountain&#8217;s height in metres. The mountain symbolism creates images of beauty, amazement, achievement; qualities which are present within the Mont Blanc brand.</p>
<p>There are several different collections of Mont Blanc pens available, and each has their own story and motif, making them unique and endearing. The models from the Patron of the Art Series are <em>ostentatious</em>; adorned in precious stones, such as diamonds and rubies, carefully set in precious metals. On these models, the signature Mont Blanc Star on the cap is made of mother of pearl. Another series, the Mont Blanc Writers, commemorate the life and work of a particular writer, by engraving their signature into the cap of the edition. To include a finishing touch, Mont Blanc pens can be personalised with individual engraving or embossing, making them even more treasured and special to the owner.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chopard are a watch-making brand that knows how to infuse reliability with style. They have worked for years to improve the durability and precision of the watches in their collection until they reached their absolute pinnacle in the modern day. The kind of technical progress that they have strived for has now opened them up into a world of aesthetic beauty where they are free to take new steps forward when it comes to aesthetic improvement.<br />
<span id="more-1690"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.bankslyon.co.uk/details.php?product=10319"><img class="   alignleft" title="Chopard Ladies Quartz" src="http://www.bankslyon.co.uk/showimage.php?image=resources/chopard/388532-3002.jpg&amp;width=202.941176471" alt="" width="97" height="156" /></a></p>
<p>The latest trend when it comes to luxury watch-making is the appropriate use of quartz movements; a form of movement that is rapidly coming back into fashion among major manufacturers. Quartz is relatively new compared to the traditional mechanical models and great care is being taken to show that quartz models can compete with the old movements in durability, precision and design quality. The jewelled adornments and elegant cases make these watches unique and exciting new additions to the Chopard collection.</p>
<p>Quartz watches for women has become a booming market in luxury watches and the <a href="http://www.bankslyon.co.uk/details.php?product=10319">Chopard ladies quartz</a> range leaves a lot to choose from for any female watch aficionado. The ladies Chopard Imperiale is an excellent example of form and function coming together with seamless design quality; it gives off the effortless style of any Chopard model. The stainless steel model is monochromatic and so doesn’t make a bold statement when wearing it, but not to go unnoticed, its inherent sophistication and beautiful curved design makes it a valuable accessory and its minimalistic style means it will go with almost any outfit or situation.</p>
<p>It says a lot about the fine quality of <a href="http://www.bankslyon.co.uk/chopard-watches.php">Chopard watches</a> that they are able to simultaneously branch out into new and exciting areas of the marketplace whilst still maintaining the awe-inspiring elegance that we have come to expect as standard for the brand.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Omega is a brand that has always been trusted to produce watches of impeccable quality since it was established in 1878 and since their establishment they have achieved enough prestige to boast a long list of accolades.

Today, with the rapidly growing female watch market, it’s great to see that Omega offers ladies models of all of its major flagship models.<br />
<span id="more-1684"></span><br />
<a href="http://www.bankslyon.co.uk/omega-ladies-watches.php"><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.bankslyon.co.uk/showimage.php?image=resources/omega/22228422004001.jpg&amp;width=235.452793834" alt="" width="113" height="155" /></a>The Speedmaster: The unofficially titled ‘moon watch’ is a modern wonder of design and reliability.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The word ‘Milgauss’ is derived from the Latin ‘Mille’ (meaning one-thousand) and the Latin ‘Gauss’ (a unit of a magnetic field). This model is so named because it is resistant to extreme magnetic environments, being able to withstand a magnetic flux density of 1,000 gauss, making this a ground breaking timepiece.<br />
<span id="more-1677"></span><br />
<a href="http://www.bankslyon.co.uk/rolex-milgauss.php"><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.limitedwatches.net/IMAGES/milgaussgreen1.jpg" alt="" width="135" height="230" /></a>The Milgauss was originally introduced by <a href="http://www.bankslyon.co.uk/rolex-watches.php">Rolex watches</a> in the 1950s, specifically to accommodate engineers, physicists and technicians who worked in areas such as power plants and research labs where they would be exposed to major magnetic fields on a daily basis. Previous models of watch would be of no use to people working in these environments, as a watch exposed to a strong magnetic field results in some of the parts in the movement becoming magnetized, causing the mechanism to run faster than it should. The <a href="http://www.bankslyon.co.uk/rolex-milgauss.php">Rolex Milgauss</a> is able to resist such high magnetic fields due to a magnetic shield situated inside the case which protects the perpetual rotor and inside movement.</p>
<p>Its resistance to high magnetic fields is its defining feature due to its impressive ingenuity, but it is also extremely resistant to corrosion and scratches, due to the fact that it is made in 904L polished stainless steel. Its popularity is also due to its distinctive style, making it stand out from other models. One unusual feature is its orange lightning-bolt shaped second hand, which was originally introduced with the 6541 model. Some designs are made with a black dial and sapphire green glass, which is particularly attractive and captivating.</p>
<p>This ingenious timepiece is precise, reliable and durable, as well as being extremely attractive and stylish, with distinctive defining features. The ground breaking masterpiece is made even more impressive and admirable because of the rich history behind this scientific triumph.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Collecters, watch-makers and everyone in the industry are acknowledging the many benefits of a quartz movement with their latest collections and aspirations. Mechanical watches have risen in popularity hugely in recent years as a result of the beautiful and intricate design of their inner-mechanisms. But the quartz movement comes with enough benefits to encourage any aficionado to feature at least one in their collection because the various uses for each type of movement mark them out as two different tools for two very different jobs.<span id="more-1666"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.bankslyon.co.uk/breitling-ladies-watches.php"><img class="   alignleft" src="http://www.bankslyon.co.uk/showimage.php?image=resources/breitling/219_.jpg&amp;width=199" alt="" width="105" height="194" /></a></p>
<p>Pioneers of new time-keeping trends, Breitling have begun to fully embrace the quartz revolution and their <a href="http://www.bankslyon.co.uk/breitling-ladies-watches.php">Breitling Ladies Quartz</a> models are some of the most aesthetically stunning in the whole range. Precision is one key aspect of the quartz movement. A watch that will not require extensive maintenance and can be relied upon to always be accurate to the very second is certainly going to be a valuable piece in times of need.</p>
<p>The smaller more space-efficient movement means that Breitling is free to add many adornments, which results in heavily jeweled and gorgeous ladies watches that don’t have to worry about becoming too weighty.  Aesthetically, the smaller internal movements allow Breitling to create a petite, feminine and stylized watch.</p>
<p>This range of <a href="http://www.bankslyon.co.uk/breitling-watches.php">Brietling watches</a> adds to its growing diversity in its broad collection comprised of many different models, styles and movements. Plus, the watches in this range carry that Breitling seal of quality and exclusivity. Superior materials and high grade jewels ensure that these watches are unique and valuable collector’s items for the female aficionado. So embrace the new movement and take a look at what quartz models have to offer you today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="mceTemp">The Bremont Martin Baker II is the sequel to the ultimate unobtainable watch. The Martin Baker I was the result of the partnership between two giants of British manufacturing and with Martin Baker’s wealth of experience in aviation and specifically ejection seats, Bremont thought it would be make sense to target a watch at that niche specifically.<br />
<span id="more-1663"></span></div>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 153px"><a href="http://www.bankslyon.co.uk/details.php?product=9982"><img class=" " title="The Bremont Martin Baker II" src="http://www.bankslyon.co.uk/showimage.php?image=resources/bremont/MBII.jpg&amp;width=239.716312057" alt="" width="143" height="195" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">A watch you can rely on in an emergency</p></div>
<p>The first model was only available to pilots who had escaped from an emergency situation with a Martin Baker ejection seat – 7280 people in total. This sense of exclusivity has continued into the Martin Baker II; despite being commercially available, as with all Bremont models, only a limited number of models will ever be made.</p>
<p>A Martin Baker ejection seat has never failed to deploy in an emergency, which is why they are the trusted supplier of ejection seats for the British Army. It is also why Bremont thought it was important to make a watch that would never fail either, even when submitted to the same trauma as a plane crash. With this goal in mind, Bremont started putting the watch through a series of rigorous tests unparalleled in comparison to the tests other watches go through in the development process. This watch endured rocket sled ejections, 4 hours in a powerful vibration machine and simulated crashes all designed to test the durability of military grade equipment and the watch survived it all in perfect working order.</p>
<p>The ingenious inner mechanisms of a <a href="http://www.bankslyon.co.uk/bremont-mb-watches.php">Bremont MB</a> II are the main contributing factor that makes this near indestructible watch. An anachron balance spring, Nivaflex 1 mainspring, a shock absorbing rotor, the trip-tick case and even a soft iron faraday cage to protect from electro-magnetic interference. The small aeronautical touches to the design are a subtle but stylish nod to the long history of Martin Baker aviation. The propeller on the bezel knob and the ejector handle second hand are welcome additions to the usual high quality of <a href="http://www.bankslyon.co.uk/bremont-watches.php">Bremont watches</a> aesthetic and the Luminova coated indexes are designed to look like the cock pit of a plane. This watch will survive extreme conditions when it comes to movement, shock, g-force and electro magnetism and it will look great whilst doing it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The name ‘Rolex’ is directly associated with images of high quality and status.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="http://www.bankslyon.co.uk/details.php?product=14330">Cartier Pasha Seatimer</a> watch is an innovation in sport watches specifically because it doesn’t obey the usual rules of the standard athletic watch when it comes to aesthetics. This watch does not look like the standard chunky, masculine diving watches with large bezels and thick numerals. It is closely related in style to sophisticated dress watches rather than traditional sport models. This is remarkably, one of the most appealing features of this watch because it will stand out as a more stylish alternative to diving watches that don’t appear to value form as equally as they value function.<br />

<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 108px"><a href="http://www.bankslyon.co.uk/details.php?product=14330"><img class="   " title="Cartier Pasha Seatimer" src="http://www.bankslyon.co.uk/showimage.php?image=resources/cartier/W3140002.jpg&amp;width=256" alt="" width="98" height="158" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">A functional fashionable watch</p></div>
<p>It’s important to mention that this watch is just as sporty as other athletic watches, even though it lends itself to a more traditional aesthetic; rubber is molded over the steel bracelets to improve comfort and durability. The watch has an open face which is simplistic and not overcrowded with chronograph dials. This could quickly become a regular favourite in your collection simply because it is a watch that serves so many functions in terms of sport and durability as well as being elegant enough to go with any of your suits or formal wear.</p>
<p>Cartier is a company that has always excelled when it comes to style specifically; there isn’t a company that can compete with them when it comes to designing a model of sophistication. Luminous, rhodium plated markers and hands add to the fine quality of this unique piece. This watch is not a model that you are likely to run into a lot, or even models that look aesthetically similar to it. It makes for a very unique timepiece that you’ll enjoy regularly as an excellent addition to any collection and a stylish but ‘everyday’ timepiece.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In TAG Heuer’s designs, the successful fusion of sport with elegance, alongside the impressive technical ingenuity specific to them, makes them the prestigious brand they are today. One of their most popular series is the Carrera series. Carrera meaning ‘race’ in Spanish, is symbolic of the watch’s resemblance to qualities associated with sports cars: smooth, slim line, impressive, and powerful.<br />
<span id="more-1645"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.bankslyon.co.uk/tag-heuer-ladies-carrera.php"><img class="   alignleft" title="Tag Heuer Ladies' Carrera" src="http://www.bankslyon.co.uk/showimage.php?image=resources/tag-heuer/WV1413.BA0793.jpg&amp;width=135.806916427" alt="" width="65" height="156" /></a></p>
<p>The Carrera is also defined by its elegance and simplicity. It is a timeless classic, and is therefore a great investment as it is a design that will look perfect on your wrist for years to come. First introduced in 1963, the Carrera has, over time, benefited from numerous improvements to its design, functionality, quality and motorization. However, with its development, it never loses its original simplicity and classic style – the traits which make it instantly recognizable.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bankslyon.co.uk/tag-heuer-ladies-carrera.php">TAG Heuer Ladies’ Carrera </a>watches have some of the sports-like race car qualities of the original Carrera watches, but exude a lady-like elegance and delicacy at the same time. Its beautiful design has the classic familiar shape of the case, but with softened feminine qualities. The feminine beauty is accentuated by the diamonds used to signify the hour. Other features include the same graceful round case shape and unusual double hour marker at the 12 o’clock position; minute markers around the outer rim, and luminescent hands and markers for readability in low light conditions; and a date function at the 3 o’clock marker.</p>
<p>The Ladies’ Carrera is a perfect example of all the qualities which make TAG Heuer such an impressive brand: its classic timelessness; practicality and sport-style; elegance and simplicity; accuracy and technical brilliance.</p>
