Doomsayers predicted mechanical watches were as good as dead thirty years ago thanks to the so-called Quartz Revolution. Happily, it appears that reports of their demise were—like those of Mark Twain’s once falsely-reported death, “greatly exaggerated.” There is no better indicator of the strength of the mechanical watch industry than the plethora of interesting and attractive options in the entry-level price points. Few ever really expected a giant like Rolex or the legendary manufacture Patek Philippe to be put out of business by cheap battery-powered quartz watches. That is why the resurgence in popularity of the lower price watches is in many ways the real success story of the Swiss and worldwide mechanical watch industries. Let’s look at three exciting watches from Seven Friday, Xetum, and Lum-Tec, all available for less than $2000.
Lum-Tec 300M-1 Dive Watch
Lum-Tec is a new American start-up watch company that is putting out some amazing bang-for-buck watches. Our favorite is the 300M-1 diver. The watch features an automatic SII NH35, an OEM Seiko movement that Lum-Tec adjusts to six positions and guarantees for a lifetime of free adjustments — that’s simply unknown and unheard of for a watch anywhere close to this price range. Lum-Tec’s biggest claim to fame is its eight-layer luminous material that gives their watches incredible readability at night or in darkened room—like the movie theater. It is available in both 40mm and 45mm case versions, and is a bargain at around $900.
The luxury Italian maison, Fendi, is loved all around the world, and there is a good reason for it. Founded in 1925 in Rome, the brand is well known for its high quality clothes, accessories, shoes and fragrances. Their ''F'' is an international symbol of style, quality and tradition. Fendi's creative director, Karl Lagerfeld, never fails to amaze us all with each new collection. Harrods offers a wide variety of Fendi pieces, but what really caught my eye are the famous colorful scarves. Fendi's silk scarves come in a wide range of fun prints, and can bring every outfit to a whole new level. Even if you're wearing jeans and a white T-shirt, if you accessorize with a scarf like this, you can be sure the outfit won't be boring. Here are some of my favorite Fendi scarves... Which one do you love the most?

Luksuzna talijanska modna kuća, Fendi, voljena je u cijelome svijetu, i postoji dobar razlog za to. Osnovan 1925. u Rimu, ovaj brand je poznat po visokokvalitetnoj odjeći, modnim dodacima, cipelama i parfemima. Njihov ''F'' je međunarodni simbol stila, kvalitete i tradicije. Fendijev kreativni direktor, Karl Lagerfeld, nas uvijek oduševi sa svakom novom kolekcijom. Harrods nudi široki izbor Fendi komada, ali ono što mi je posebno zapelo za oko su poznate šarene marame. Fendijeve svilene marame dolaze u raznim zabavim printevima, i mogu ''dignuti'' svaki outfit na novu razinu. Makar imali na sebi traperice i bijelu običnu majicu, ako dodate ovakvu maramu, možete biti sigurni da vam outfit neće biti dosadan. Evo nekih od mojih najdražih Fendi marama... Koja vam se najviše sviđa?
