Dating in California
California is the most populated and third largest state in the United States. Therefore, it is difficult to describe what dating in California is like. Nonetheless, if you divide ‘Cali’ into its two geographic regions, you will see some clear differences.
In the North, you have the cities of San Francisco and Sacramento as well as Yosemite Valley, Big Sur and Lake Tahoe, some of America’s most beautiful landscapes. For that reason, people who chose to live there appreciate nature, healthy living and the outdoors. Keep this in mind when dating there. Males and females both have chosen a nice lifestyle over money. In the North, having a lot cash is not as important as having an open mind and being friendly. In fact, if you are rich, maybe you should keep that a secret for a while.
Further south, you have the . Los Angeles is home to almost 10 million people making dating there quite easy. Remember, not everyone who lives in Southern California is rich and famous, but they still like to pretend that they are. So, if you have money to spend on a luxury date, LA and Hollywood are good places to do it. However, Southern California is also known for its beach culture. Places like Malibu and San Diego combine the love of the outdoors which is typical of Californians with a laid back and party lifestyle which come with living right near the ocean in a warm climate. There, a cool style will get you further than a large pay check.
ORIS – Bob Dylan Limited Edition
There is little to add on to Bob Dylan‘s statuesque pop-star status, but Swiss manufacturer ORIS has taken on the gargantuan task of paying tribute to the master songwriter with its Bob Dylan Limited Edition watch.
- ORIS – Bob Dylan Limited Edition
And we have to say, it doesn’t disappoint.
Powered by an automatic ORIS 733 movement and channeling Dylan‘s perennial classicism, this timepiece features a stylish stainless steel rectangular case and a plain black leather strap that transcends time and trends, much like the man himself. A swirly patterned dial harks back to the vibrant pop art scene that dominated the 1960s along with Dylan‘s then-rising musical star.
And for those who are seeking a more tangible portrayal of Dylan, the watch bears an image of him on the case back as well as his signature on the dial. Shielding the watch on both sides is a sapphire glass that wraps around it coupled with an inner and outer anti-reflective coating.
Limited to 3,000 pieces and presented in an exclusive box set with Dylan’s wind instrument of choice, a Hohner Marine Band harmonica, this timeless watch is the perfect tag-along for any fan worth his salt.
TITONI – 90th Anniversary Watch
Going by the laurel-framed ’90′ numerals on the dial, Titoni is clearly proud of how far it has come. And why shouldn’t it? 
Founded in 1919, the third generation family-owned Swiss firm continues to march out highly reliable and unfussy watches with great affordability to this day. And its 90th Anniversary Watch is testament to those values. Running on a COSC-certified automatic movement (ETA 2824-2), the watch states its case plainly with a simple dial framed by a classic 40mm round case. The only measure of ostentation it allows itself, besides its anniversary number on the dial and its rotor (visible through a sapphire case back), is a neat presentation box that comes with a separate crocodile patterned leather strap.
EDOX – Super Limited Edition 1884
You might be familiar with Edox‘s sportier diver watches and mistake them for a ‘modern’ brand. But the Swiss brand actually comes from a rather impressive lineage and wants the world to know that as it celebrates its 125th anniversary this year.
The birthday flag bearer of choice is the Super Limited Edition 1884, which houses one of the brand’s most famous technical triumphs, an ultra-slim automatic calendar movement, the Venus 203 (visible through an open case back), that was the world’s slimmest at the time it was created in the early 1950s.
Likewise, the watch’s sombre and classical style befits its stature, anchored by a 41mm Grand Ocean case with 18K gold bezel and silver-plated dial, and a vintage style dial indicating the calendar and moon phase functions with sublime geometry. Available in limited edition of 125 pieces with a crocodile leather strap, the deal is sealed with the edition number engraved on the left side of the case.
