While Maen is a relatively new brand that’s been active for about seven years, it garnered a lot of popularity due to its high-quality watches. Within a short period of time, the brand launched eight different watch collections characterized by unique features and functionalities.

The Manhattan collection has been quite popular for its squarish design and flashy bracelet. It’s one of the most aesthetically pleasing collections from the Swedish luxury brand.

When it first launched into the market, it featured timepieces with 39mm casings and 38mm casings—the new Manhattan watches are larger than the original ones.

As the name hints, the latest additions have a 40mm casing and are offered in three different dial colors—blue, green, and brown.

Watches that come with a blue dial or a brown dial are manufactured from standard materials. But, the piece with the green dial is constructed from a high-end stone, popularly known as green jade. It’s a material that goes back to the 6th and 7th centuries. Throughout history, the material symbolized various notions, from beauty and elegance to wisdom. As a natural material, green jade has a very unique pattern.

Since this material is quite exquisite, Maen limits the number of watches with a green jade dial.

Despite that, the new timepiece is available in two different variants. The standard option, as the name hints, is equipped with a normal caliber, the Sellita SW200-1, which offers a power reserve of 40 hours.

Maen also offers an option with a high-end caliber. The standard option retails at $818, while the high-end option retails at $1,222.

It’s worth noting that the green jade option has a higher price tag, while the standard option costs $1,077, the premium option retails at $1,481.

Cartier Crash

As far as premier watches go, few hold the prestige and class as Cartier. Since 1947, Cartier has been associated with sophistication, innovation, and precision craftsmanship. Cartier luxury watches are more than merely accessories -- they are artistic pieces regarded as the pinnacle of horological achievement. Let's explore the Cartier Crash watch.
A definitive departure from the traditional

Since its introduction in 1967, the Cartier Crash watch has its origins in London at Cartier’s Bond Street boutique store under the direction of Jean-Jacques Cartier. Inspired amid the backdrop of rebellion and artistic divergence, the Cartier Crash was a decisive departure from the classic design, making an immediate splash with its asymmetrical, warped silhouette.

Timex Intrepid Reissue

Timex breathes life into the 1995 Intrepid watch and gives it a modern touch. Given that this Timex model was favored by John F. Kennedy Jr., it became popular in the '90s—and now it's back. To mark a special feat in its history (the 30th anniversary of the model), the brand upgraded the model but preserved the original 1990s design.

One of the watch's most striking features is the Indiglo mechanism, a light that makes it easier to read the dial in dark environments. Luminova hour markers were still in development in the early ‘90s, so each brand came up with a special mechanism for lighting up the front face. At the 9 o’clock denotation, a huge green pusher turns on the light and adds to the look with its striking hue.
