			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Superheroes are awe-inspiring role models that not only have some of the best powers and skills you can think of, but also some of the best gadgets.  One of the essential gadgets for both superheroes and non-superheroes are mens watches and womens watches.  Watches help you keep up with your schedule and they also say a little something about your personality.  Here are 10 superheroes and the watches that fit their personalities, powers and costumes:</p>
<p><strong>1.  Spider-Man</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/spider-man.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-172" title="spider man" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/spider-man-150x150.jpg" alt="spider man" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Swiss Army Ground Force</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/241089.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-173" title="Swiss Ground Forces watch" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/241089-150x150.jpg" alt="Swiss Ground Forces watch" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>Spider-Man has always been a favorite superhero of comic book readers.  Newspaper photojournalist by day, Peter Parker quickly transforms into the web-spinning and acrobatic Spider-Man whenever he senses imminent danger.</p>
<p>The Swiss Army Ground Force watch has a dark red face, brushed satin metal finish, and black rubber band that would compliment Spiderman&#8217;s classic red and blue costume or his black costume.  The watch has great features like a date-indicator, Luminous-Display, and anti-reflective sapphire crystal.  The titanium case can deal with his fast-paced web-slinging and web-swinging, while the 100-meter water resistance feature will help him deal with underwater missions of all types.  Finally, the tachometer bezel function enables Spiderman to calculate speeds and machine outputs.</p>
<p><strong>2.  Superman</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/superman.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-174" title="superman" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/superman-150x150.jpg" alt="superman 150x150 Top 10 Superheros and Their Watches" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>

<p><a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/t3c323.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-175" title="t3c323" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/t3c323-150x150.jpg" alt="t3c323 150x150 Top 10 Superheros and Their Watches" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>The Man of Steel, Superman, is an all-American superhero.  While his alter ego, Clark Kent, appears clumsy and geeky as a reporter of The Daily Planet, Superman is anything but.</p>
<p>The TX-Technoluxury &#8216;730 Classic Fly Back&#8217; watch is an aviation chronograph watch that fits Superman&#8217;s high-flying needs.  The blue face with red accents go well with Superman&#8217;s costume, while the GMT/Dual Time Display feature allows him to keep time no matter where he is.  The built-in compass, Fly Back Chronograph feature and Retrograde display makes for easy navigation and time-keeping.  The watch has a bi-directional bezel, polished stainless steel case, and black leather strap, as well as water resistance up to 100-meters deep.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/jy0000-53e.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-177" title="jy0000-53e" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/jy0000-53e-150x150.jpg" alt="jy0000 53e 150x150 Top 10 Superheros and Their Watches" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Guess what?  Not everything celebrities wear can burn a hole in your pocket.  In fact, some Hollywood A-list celebrities actually enjoy buying and collecting affordable watches along with luxury ones.  This fact may just make us feel a little better that we could not afford that lovely Cartier watch or that Roger Dubuis Excalibur.  Here are a few mens watches and womens watches that celebrities enjoy wearing in real life, in the movies, on television, and for business.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/ivan_basso_mont_ventoux.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-135" title="ivan basso" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/ivan_basso_mont_ventoux-150x150.jpg" alt="ivan basso" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>Representing Nordic Europe is the Skagen brand of watches.  A Skagen timepiece is known for being classy and expensive-looking though it is actually affordable and even fit for casual wear.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/582xlslm.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-136" title="Basso's Skagen" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/582xlslm-150x150.jpg" alt="Basso's Skagen" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p><strong>8.  Jeffrey Donovan &#8211; Chase-Durer Special Forces</strong></p>
<p>Let’s go to television celebrities, shall we? Jeffrey Donovan, as blacklisted international spy Michael Westin, proudly dons his Chase-Durer in Burn Notice.  It’s his fictional character Michael Westin who wears the watch, but still he lends some incredible sense of reliability on Chase-Durer.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/4375.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-137" title="Celeb watches" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/4375-150x150.jpg" alt="Celeb watches" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>If you are familiar with the action-packed series, Burn Notice, then you will know that the Chase-Durer Special Forces watch made its appearance on the wrist of none other than the lead actor.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/cd1119bs6-br08.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-138" title="Kyle's watch" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/cd1119bs6-br08-150x150.jpg" alt="Kyle's watch" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p><strong>7.  Kyle Chandler &#8211; Citizen Eco-Drive </strong></p>
<p>No wonder television actor and Emmy-award nominee Kyle Chandler trusts the watch to give him a pretty good image even without the hefty price tag.  You will recognize Kyle Chandler from his popular shows Friday Night Lights and Early Edition.  I wonder if his Citizen helps him get to the news before everyone else…</p>
<p><a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/kyle_chandler_p1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-139" title="Kyle Chandler" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/kyle_chandler_p1-150x150.jpg" alt="Kyle Chandler" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>Citizen is known for serving up hot but affordable mens watches and womens watches.  It&#8217;s not even just elegant looks that Citizen Eco-Drive can deliver.  The watch model sounds as if it should be part of an action movie or at least an adventure flick that does not let up.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/bm6060-57f1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-140" title="Kyle Chandler's Watch" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/bm6060-57f1-150x150.jpg" alt="Kyle Chandler's Watch" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p><strong>6.  Kristen Stewart &#8211; Swatch Full-Blooded</strong></p>
<p>This watch just fits Twilight star Kristen Stewart.  The model name is even curiously related to her hit vampire movie.  The Swatch Full-Blooded is just young and sophisticated enough for a young actress growing up into a swan.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/244stewartkristen100506.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-141" title="Kristen Stewart" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/244stewartkristen100506-150x150.jpg" alt="Kristen Stewart" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>Young Hollywood stars are just like other teenagers and young adults.  They want something hip and fashionable, not something their grandma would wear.  That is why Swatch is not really a surprising choice by young celebrities though the brand is definitely affordable.  The Swatch Full-Blooded is a little more sophisticated than the plastic models.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/svck4032g.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-142" title="Kristen Stewart's watch" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/svck4032g-150x150.jpg" alt="Kristen Stewart's watch" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p><strong>5.  Jamie Foxx &#8211; Casio Men&#8217;s Pathfinder Atomic Solar Digital Watch</strong></p>
<p>Jamie Foxx’s FBI agent Ronald Fleury wants a watch that is functional beyond just telling the time and ringing a screaming alarm.  So, he went for the Casio Men’s Pathfinder.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/thekingdom.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-143" title="jamie foxx' watch" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/thekingdom-150x150.jpg" alt="jamie foxx' watch" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>The Casio Men’s Pathfinder watch is fit for hard action.  If you are in danger or at least working up a sweat, do you really want a luxury watch?  The Casio model is full of surprises: thermometer, digital compass, barometer, and world time are just some of them.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/paw1300g-1v.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-144" title="Jamie Foxx' watch" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/paw1300g-1v-150x150.jpg" alt="Jamie Foxx' watch" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p><strong>4.  Kanye West &#8211; Casio G Shock Watch</strong></p>
<p>Singer-rapper Kanye West loves his Casio G Shock watch that he probably has several Casio watches in different colors.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/kanye_west.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-145" title="kanye west" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/kanye_west-150x150.jpg" alt="kanye west" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>Casio G Shock watches are very cool and very affordable that a lot of fake ones are swirling around in underground flea markets.  Still, the genuine ones are what you should go for; you do not really want to side with idea thieves, or do you?<br />
<a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/aw591-4a.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-146" title="Casio G Shock" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/aw591-4a-150x150.jpg" alt="Casio G Shock" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p><strong>3.  Edward Norton &#8211; Breil Milano</strong></p>
<p>Academy-award nominee Edward Norton has been reported to wear the brand.  Not only that, he has become the celebrity endorser of Breil Milano up to the year 2010.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/edward-norton.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-147" title="edward norton breil" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/edward-norton-150x150.jpg" alt="edward norton breil" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>By its elegant Italian name, you might have never guessed that Breil Milano can be affordable.  If it is mentioned that a celebrity has worn the brand, you may be further scared off.  However, Breil Milano is unconventional in both its looks and price.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/bw0221.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-148" title="Breil bw0221" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/bw0221-150x150.jpg" alt="Breil bw0221" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p><strong>2.  Johnny Depp &#8211; Seiko Quartz Men’s Watch</strong></p>
<p>It is not surprising that Johnny Depp would wear a Seiko.  Depp has always been recognized for being unconventional.  He dresses up the way he feels like, not caring for what the fans and the fashion critics expect.  It may be just his Nick of Time film character who was seen with the Seiko Quartz, but you can really imagine Depp wearing this particular Seiko watch in real life.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/johnny_depp_characters_2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-149" title="johnny depp's watch" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/johnny_depp_characters_2-150x150.jpg" alt="johnny depp's watch" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>Seiko is one of the world&#8217;s well-known watch brands.  It has stood the test of time while maintaining an affordable image.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/snaa01.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-150" title="Johnny Depp's Seiko" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/snaa01-150x150.jpg" alt="Johnny Depp's Seiko" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p><strong>1.  Angelina Jolie &#8211; Tissot T Touch</strong></p>
<p>Though it is actually Angie’s character in Mr. &amp; Mrs. Smith who wore the Tissot T Touch, the fact that the watch model was worn by Miss Jolie in a movie for the second time says a lot.  Angelina wore the same brand of watch for Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/jolie.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-151" title="angelina jolie" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/jolie-150x150.jpg" alt="angelina jolie" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>Sometimes it is the brand itself that makes sure it is known by many that it has been worn by a celebrity.  You cannot blame Tissot T Touch for aligning itself with the gorgeous Angelina Jolie.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/t33159859.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-152" title="Angelina Jolie's Tissot" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/t33159859-150x150.jpg" alt="Angelina Jolie's Tissot" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Watches are among the most prized possessions of people all around the world.  The watch is not just a practical timepiece, but it is also a statement of luxury, power and prestige.  It is no wonder why some of the most important and influential people in our history are also known for wearing some of the most impressive watches.  Not to say that mens watches or womens watches automatically make people successful, but a timepiece can surely help you keep on track with your schedule for your journey towards success.  Here are five historical figures, the watches they wore, and other watches with similar features and functions:</p>
<p><strong>1.  Buzz Aldrin</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/200px-aldrin.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-117" style="margin: 10px;" title="Buzz Aldrin" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/200px-aldrin-150x150.jpg" alt="Buzz Aldrin" width="150" height="150" /></a>Buzz Aldrin is an astronaut and aviator who was along for the historical Apollo 11 mission, which was the first manned landing on the moon.  Aldrin was the pilot for the Lunar Module that landed on the moon on July 20, 1969.  Following after Mission Commander Niel Armstrong, Buzz Alrin became the second person ever to set foot on the moon.  Both Aldrin and Armstrong were issued Omega Speedmaster Professional watches for the mission, but Armstrong had to leave his in the Lunar Module.  Worn by Buzz Aldrin when he explored the moon that day, the Omega Speedmaster Professional became the first watch to be worn on the moon.</p>
<p><strong>Omega Speedmaster Professional</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/800px-omega-speedmaster-professional-front.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-118" style="margin: 10px;" title="800px-omega-speedmaster-professional-front" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/800px-omega-speedmaster-professional-front-150x150.jpg" alt="800px omega speedmaster professional front 150x150 5 Giants of History and their watches" width="150" height="150" /></a>The Omega Speedmaster Professional had a number of features, which include the following:<br />
Chronograph design with three interior dials<br />
Manual-winding movement<br />
Fixed-bezel tachometer instrument<br />
Stopwatch feature</p>
<p><strong>Citizen Calibre 2100 </strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/citizen.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-119" style="margin: 10px;" title="citizen" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/citizen-150x150.jpg" alt="citizen 150x150 5 Giants of History and their watches" width="150" height="150" /></a>The Citizen Calibre 2100 for men has many of the features that the Omega Speedmaster Professional has.  Like the Speedmaster, the Calibre has a black face with white markers.  The watch also has a chronometer design with a tachometer bezel.  The Citizen Calibre 2100 also had a date indicator,  Japanese-Quartz movement, 1/5-second incriments, solar powered Eco-Drive technology and a power reserve meter.</p>
<p><strong>2.  John F.  Kennedy<br />
</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/500px-john_f_kennedy_white_house_color_photo_portrait.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-120" style="margin: 10px;" title="Kennedy" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/500px-john_f_kennedy_white_house_color_photo_portrait-150x150.jpg" alt="Kennedy" width="150" height="150" /></a>John F.  Kennedy served as a member of the US House of Representatives, a United States Senator, and the 35th President of the United States.  He became the first Catholic president and the first president to have won a Pullitzer Prize.  In 2005, Omega bought one of JFK&#8217;s wristwatches, which was being auctioned-off by a collector.  The watch was given to JFK by his friend Grant Stockdale before the 1960 Presidential Election.  JFK the following message engraved on the back of the Omega &#8216;Ultra Thin&#8217; watch: “President of the United States John F.  Kennedy from his friend Grant”.</p>
<p><strong>Omega &#8216;Ultra Thin&#8217;</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/1379579253_120_168_120_168_0_0_80_blog_jfk-omega-watch.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-121" style="margin: 10px;" title="kennedy's watch" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/1379579253_120_168_120_168_0_0_80_blog_jfk-omega-watch.jpg" alt="kennedy's watch" width="120" height="168" /></a>The Omega &#8216;Ultra Thin&#8217; owned by JFK had black leather straps, a gold casing, gold markers and gold hands.  The face of the watch is cream-colored and rectangular in shape.</p>
<p><strong>Seiko Men&#8217;s</strong></p>
<p>The Seiko Men&#8217;s watch is a simple watch, similar in form to the Omega &#8216;Ultra Thin&#8217;.  This watch also has a rectangular face, but the face color is gold instead of the light cream color of JFK&#8217;s watch.  The casing of the watch is constructed from stainless steel with gold plating, giving it an appearance similar to the Ultra Thin.  Also, the Seiko watch has brown leather straps like other popular mens watches.<a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/snf670.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-122" title="kennedy replica" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/snf670-150x150.jpg" alt="kennedy replica" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p><strong>3.  Albert Einstein</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/225px-einstein1921_by_f_schmutzer_4.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-123" style="margin: 10px;" title="Albert Einstein" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/225px-einstein1921_by_f_schmutzer_4-150x150.jpg" alt="Albert Einstein" width="150" height="150" /></a>Albert Einstein is one of the most famous, influencial and important scientists and theorists in world history.  As a theoretical physicist, Einstein gained worldwide recognition for his theory of relativity, with the mass-energy equivalence formula: E= MC^2.  Einstein has made immense contributions to studies on time, space and physics, in general.  Albert Einstein wore a Longines gold watch, which was auctioned in 2008 for a record-breaking $596,000.  It was the highest price that a Longine&#8217;s product has ever been auctioned for.</p>
<p><strong>Longines gold watch</strong></p>
<p>The Longines gold watch owned by Albert Einstein had a tonneau shape with a leather band.  The numbers on the face<a href="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/einstein.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-124" title="einstein watch" src="http://www.watcheshunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/einstein-150x150.jpg" alt="einstein watch" width="150" height="150" /></a> were large and it also had a small dial for counting seconds.  There was a single winding dial on the right side of the case for setting the time.  The casing of the watch is gold in color, while the face is an off-white.</p>
<p><strong>Elini &#8216;New Yorker&#8217; Men&#8217;s Chronograph</strong></p>
