Bertolucci Serena Animations "In The Air" And "Olive Tree" Watches

These represent the next round of Bertolucci Serena Animations watches, called "In The Air" and "The Olive Tree." The Italian designed watches offer a smooth interpretation of luxury without a sense of worry or convention. Both watches are in steel cases and are 29mm wide by 40mm tall. The In The Air model features a delicate wind swept design on the dial, while the Olive Tree features an olive branch. The dials are curved and done in silvered opaline with silver metallic decor.

The olives on the Olive Tree are covered in 66 small diamonds, while both watches have 5 diamonds set in steel on the leather straps (black colored for In The Air, and white for the Olive Tree). The straps are varnished like patent leather, and continue the designs of the dials on their surface a bit. The straps go through the entire case and are screwed to the back of the watches. Inside the watches are ETA 256.041 Swiss quartz movements with 52 month battery lives. Surprisingly the watch has 100 meters of water resistance. Nice looking and not obscenely expensive luxury women's watches. Price should be a few thousand dollars.

Adopt An Olive Tree

Filed under: Dining, Green

Here's a great chance to both do something great for the environment and get something fun to show for it: adopt yourself an olive tree! Nudo, an olive grove in Italy, is offering people the chance to support small scale artisanal farming (instead of the large mechanized operations that damage the earth) by adopting a specific olive tree. And when you adopt an olive tree in the grove for one year not only do you get the satisfaction from the environmental effort, but you also get all the produce from your tree. You'll get a Spring Package with the olive oil from your tree, and then an Autumn Package of more olive oil and some handmade olive oil soap. $130/year.
