			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Maybe it&#8217;s just me, but I think it&#8217;s a bad idea to strap a live hand grenade to your wrist (or any part of your person, for that matter). I&#8217;d especially be wary of one that&#8217;s making a subtle ticking noise. But that&#8217;s exactly what the guys at <a href="http://www.vestal.com">Vestal</a> would have you do, thanks to their over-the-top Grenade wristwatches.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2693" title="vestal_grenade_watch_green" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/vestal_grenade_watch_green.jpg" alt="vestal grenade watch green" width="520" height="667" /></p>
<p>The Grenade watch looks like an explosive device, but when you flip the lever, it opens to reveal a clock movement. While they won&#8217;t actually withstand an explosion, they should hold up pretty well thanks to their Stainless Steel case construction, durable mineral glass crystal and water-resistance to 3ATM.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2694" title="vestal_grenade_watch_black" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/vestal_grenade_watch_black.jpg" alt="vestal grenade watch black" width="520" height="704" /></p>
<p>They&#8217;re available in Army Green or Matte Black finishes and come with either a skinny canvas or wide leather and canvas wristband. I managed to find all four styles over on <a href="http://www.watchwear.com/vestal/grenade/">WatchWear.com</a> starting around $125 each.</p>
<p>Just don&#8217;t blame me when you get stopped trying to go through airport security with one of these strapped to your wrist.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently came across watchmaker Vestal, who makes original designer watches with a decidedly modern spin. The artists of Vestal use music as their inspiration for their designs, and their music video filled website reinforces this sentiment.</p>
<p>There are a ton of really great watches in their current collection, and one that caught my eye in particular was the $210 <a href="http://www.vestalwatch.com/#/Store/Watches?id=142">Metal Monte Carlo</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/vestal_montecarlo2.jpg" alt="vestal montecarlo2"  title="vestal montecarlo2 photo" /></p>
<p>This watch seamlessly connects the analog and digital worlds in a sleek modern watch face. It features a beautiful, clean stainless steel case, and a face that incorporates a small analog dial (with second hand) and a inverted grey-on-black LCD display. The monochromatic backdrop to the watch face is especially striking.</p>
<p>Another favorite has to be the $137 <a href="http://www.vestalwatch.com/#/Store/Watches?id=138">Rosewood</a>, which actually features a case which is crafted from real wood, with each piece linked together using a flexible wire.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/vestal_rosewood.jpg" alt="vestal rosewood"  title="vestal rosewood photo" /></p>
<p>I also really like the $179 <a href="http://www.vestalwatch.com/#/Store/Watches?id=118">Emery</a>. This watch is one of a series which is inspired by the designs of classic radios from the 1960s. It really does look like an old radio dial.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/vestal_emery.jpg" alt="vestal emery"  title="vestal emery photo" /></p>
<p>These are just a few of the unique designs that their talented designers are cranking out. Be sure to check out all of the cool watches over on the <a href="http://www.vestalwatch.com">Vestal website</a>.</p>
