(Eric Clapton)
Eric Patrick Clapton was born in 30th March, 1945. Eric is an English blues-rock guitarist, singer, songwriter and composer, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as part of the Yardbirds, then Cream and also as a solo performer. He was often considered to be by critics and fans as one of a kind musician, one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Clapton was ranked fourth in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" and #53 on their list of the Immortals: 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.

Although Clapton has varied his musical style throughout his career and so he is qualified as an innovator in a wide diversity of genres. These include blues-rock (with John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers and the Yardbirds) and psychedelic rock (with Cream). Additionally, Clapton's chart success was not limited to the blues, with chart-toppers in Delta Blues (Me and Mr. Johnson), pop ("Change the World") and reggae (Bob Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff").
(Rolex Daytona)
Five of his most well known songs, those that have been sang for years: Before You Accuse Me, Wonderful Tonight, Tears In Heaven, Pretending and Change The World (Between a wide range of great songs).
(Rolex Chronograph Antimagnetic)
Those watches that are able to measure time with extreme precision are those for which we invest more money.

Eric Clapton owns a watch collection, a very exclusive one, brought together as a consequence of the beauty and precision they share.

Divers' Watches
The importance of precision.
The quality of the equipment while diving turns to be more than an important issue before descending into deep ocean. Diver’s watches are specially designed for deep depths and equipped with its special case, as protecting the case is the main goal.
In order to be considered a diving one, a watch must be qualified as suitable for up to 150 metres / 450 feet, even though most of the watches considered to be suitable for diving are appropriate for more than 200 meters.
The “O†rings, usually made of nylon, are a very important part of submersible watches as it works as a protection sealing for the case and also for the crown. In order to avoid case deformations caused by the pressured of depth, most of the cases are produced with extra thick walls.
Even though, because of the potential risks, divers do not usually reach such deep profundities, watches show such depth capabilities because of the way their hermetecism is tested. This procedure is done in a static way and pressure in real life is much more, as the watch is being moved attached to a diver’s arm. As a direct consequence of this fact, a watch that is just used to swim must be at least submersible up to 50 meters at least.
The unidirectional bezel is what gives divers’ watches their most popular characteristic, as each immersion has a limit of elapsed time. That’s why it is more than important to have precise elements as divers life is in constant risk.
Just by rotating the bezel till the minute hand at the moment in which the immersion starts, the diver will perfectly know for how long he has remain in depth. The reason of featuring a unidirectional rotating bezel is that if by accident it moves on its own, it would only short time remaining instead of extending it, keeping the diver’s life safe.
Another important part of the watch related to keeping diver’s life safe is the seconds hand which when ascending it marks how fast the diver is ascending as one feet per second is recommended.
Some of the well-known diver’s watches are:
Omega the first wristwatch brand to produce a diver’s watch, the Marine. (1932)
Officine Panerai (1938)
From LIP and Blancpain, the Fifty Fathoms (1953)
Rolex Submariner (1956) revolution.
Rolex Dweller (1967)
Omega Seamaster Professional 600m, known as Omega PloProf between the circle of collectors.

Albert Einstein Longines Watch
A genius choice
Albert Einstein
Born on March 14, 1879 in Ulm, Kingdom of Württemberg in the German Empire, he was son of Hermann Einstein and Pauline Einstein, he attended a Catholic elementary school as his parents were not observant of Jewish religious practices, even though their ancestors were Jewish .
Despite the fact that he had early speech difficulties (though wihich he had a failure to develop language abilities on the usual developmental timetable), he was a top student in elementary school and soon, at the age of ten, Maz Talmud (family friend) introduced him to key science, mathematics and philosophy texts.
As a consequence of the failure of the family business, the Einstein’s moved to Itlaly. First, they lived in Milan and then they moved to Pavia. It was during those yearsthat he wrote his first scientific work: The Investigation of the State of Aether in Magnetic Fields.
He then decided to apply directly to the Eidgenössische Polytechnische Schule (later Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (ETH)) in Zurich, Switzerland without having completed high school. As he didn’t had a school certificate, he was then required to give an entrance examination, which he failed even though he had achieved exceptional marks in mathematics and physics. He finished high school in Aarau, Switzerland and renounced his citizenship in German Kingdom of Wurtemberg to avoid military service.
In 1896, he enrolled in the mathematics and physics program at the Polytechnic in Zurich where Marie Winteler, his future wife, also studied (being the only woman in the group). Albert graduated from the Polytechnic with a diploma in mathematics and physics.
With an outstanding work, mostly known for the general relativity law, special relativity, photoelectric effect, Brownian motion, mass-energy equivalence, field equations (between many others), he was awarded with the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 (at the age of 42), he was also awarded by the Royal Society of London with the Copley Medal for “outstanding achievements†in 1925. He also received the the Max Planck Medal (1929) and, last but not least, the Person of the Century prize (1999) created by Time magazine in order to honour the most important people of the last century.
He died on April, 17th, 1955 at the age of 76 after experiencing an internal bleeding caused by the rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (previously been diagnosed and reinforced). He died in Princeton Hospital early the next morning having continued to work until near the end.
Before the cremation, Princeton Hospital pathologist Thomas Stoltz Harvey removed Einstein's brain for preservation, without the permission of his family, in hope that the neuroscience of the future would be able to discover what made Einstein so intelligent.
A Longines wristwatch was given to Albert Einstein in the 1930s as a present,
And it has been sold at auction by Antiquorum, where it fetched the princely sum of $596,000. Apparently this is 2000% more than the auctioneer expected after belonging to one of the greatest thinkers that the world has ever seen.
