Live from SIFMA: The i-Phone
Traders know a few things, but they apparently don’t know how to spell iPhone. Remember, folks: the iPhone isn’t out until June 29th, so I guess the winner gets a rain check.
1 CommentAfter Hours - The Sinn 903
When Velociphile says something is better than the Breitling Navitimer, I’d tend to believe him. This hot little manual wind from Sinn has a great movement is is considerably cheaper than anything Breitling has to offer. Plus, it’s busy without looking cluttered.
The Sinn 903 is a better Navitimer for those in the know. Despite now being based only on the ubiquitous 7750, it beats the Breitling hands down as it stays true to the tool watch ethic at a sensible price. In comparison the Breitling Navitimer is an overpriced lifestyle product and, frankly, jumped the shark a while back.

After Hours: Movado Series 800
From WristWatchReview.com - A Movado sport watch? With a wavy face and big arrow hour hand? Perhaps someone is seeing their market share drop?
I don’t like Movado much - so much depends on that single big dot that you almost lose the watch - but this sports model, apparently a quartz piece, has some chops. It comes on a rubber or steel band and costs about $1,000.
Best of all, NFL MVP Tom Brady is flogging the thing and saying stuff like:
“Movado is all about style and precision and that fits exactly what I try to bring both on and off the field, so I hope it’s a long term association,” the New England Patriot said. “A professional athlete’s life is highly scheduled. I practically need military discipline to keep pace, so time is definitely something I’m interested in.”
Deep.

How to Get Your CFO to Pay For a Sidekick 3
“How to Get Your CFO to Pay for a…” is a recurring feature on WSTDaily and will discuss convincing the firm’s money czar to buy you the toys and gadgets we most want. That said, let’s discuss the SK3 from T-Mobile.
T-Mobile’s SK3 is a powerful - but not very smart - messaging device. Designed for the “young and the young at heart,” according to T-Mobile execs, the SK3 will look great at the club and ensure that you get emails and IM messages on the road. Best of all, the SK3 has a terminal program for logging into remote servers though secure sockets or telnet.
Monopoly Money Goes Plastic
Parker Brothers have thrust a sword into our inner Luddite by introducing a Visa-branded credit card machine with the popular real estate game, Monopoly. Players tap in their earnings and purchases and the “credit cards” keep track of their standing in the game.
Game makers Parker have phased out the standard multi-coloured cash in a new version.
Players will instead use a Visa mock debit card to keep track of how much they win or lose.
It is inserted into an electronic machine where the banker taps in cardholders’ earnings and payments.
What will we use to make late-night, drunken purchases at the bodega which result in cops called and solid drubbings?
