Digital watches/clocks

Digital watches/clocks
What is this "superiority" you are referring to? You were talking exclusively about the "simple elegance" and "styling" of some recent designs of digital watches.

The Thread to Display Your 1930s Suits
Thanks for the info on the origin. It is beautiful indeed! At first glance I thought of this one: http://42ndblackwatch1881.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/003-111.jpg Of course the suit you posted is distinctively American in the details. -
