Watches have always been the main accessory of a well-dressed man. Even with our smartphone’s clock, you’ll still find the average man sporting a fashionable wristwatch. Mechanical timepieces have rebounded as a man’s top accessory. The popularity of the battery operated quartz wristwatch is coming to an end. Men like machines. Fortunately, there is a wide range of automatic (self-winding) watches to fit any budget. It is a well-known fact that women can never have enough handbags or shoes…a watch collection could be a similar joy for a man. If the man in your life wishes he could collect cars or planes, but doesn’t have a garage or hanger to store them, then adding to his daily watch selection could be the perfect gift for Father’s Day. Daoud’s Fine Jewelry carries a large selection of automatic watch-winders in stock. We sell a wide selection of pre-owned watches that fit the most discerning tastes and budgets. To keep your man in style, on time, and contemporary try a nice timepiece.

Combine a veterinarian with a PhD in molecular epidemiology and a civil engineer with a Masters in Business Administration and you get Sigma Beauty. That’s right; Rene Xavier and I are the unconventional owners of one of the most innovative beauty companies around. 

As a makeup user and researcher at heart, I have frequently been frustrated with makeup brushes and products available on the market – until the day I decided to leave the laboratory and transform the way we apply makeup. 

Today, Sigma Beauty is a leader in the beauty industry with over 130 high-quality makeup brushes. I personally developed several of these brushes, most notably the best selling F80 foundation brush. Nothing applies foundation like an F80. It gives you that flawless finish and I get so many complements on my skin! 

Besides offering a high variety of makeup brushes, our website also features educational videos teaching how to use every single brush. This way you get the most out of your beauty tools!

So head to SigmaBeauty.com and explore the science of beauty.
