Women have driven the trend in timepieces over the past decade, spurning traditional designs and drifting over to the men's side of the boutique to secure the look they wanted.

Happy Sport Chrono
Who says a serious watch can't also feel a bit playful? That's the thinking behind Chopard's Happy watches, crafted with cases that allow diamonds to float across the dial. The just released Happy Sport Chrono combines the features of a certified chronograph with seven gold-set diamonds that dance around the dial in a 40-millimeter case. Features on this timepiece include a chronograph second hand, 30-minute and 12-hour counters and a date window. For an extra touch of feel-good sentiment, both the gold and diamonds have been ethically and sustainably sourced.

The Censoring of Social Media? - Why legislatures continually try to regulate freedom of expression, and what the courts are doing about it
