Gone are the days when mobiles were the privilege of the few. The phone is now almost everyone's obsession, everyone's necessity. Its multi-dimensional use already available and its enormous potential may make it the inventor of future.
No wonder then the global mobile connections have crossed the 4 billion mark, the Asia Pacific region alone accounting for almost half the number with China remaining the world's largest market in terms of mobile connections.
According to the GSMA, the Asia Pacific market will exceed 3 billion connections in 2013. The body representing the worldwide mobile communications industry further observes, "With the continued investment in mobile broadband it is likely that mobile will be the primary form of data communications and rich internet access for the majority of people in the region."
Among the factors that the GSMA attributes to the impressive growth of the industry in Asia Pacific are rapid economic development in the region, opening of markets to the forces of globalisation, foreign direct investment, cost-effective prepaid services and introduction of low-cost handsets.

Known for its innovative style and excellence in watch making, OMEGA is offering the world its latest marvel, 'Milestone 1941', which combines the historic values of the brand with state-of-the-art horological standards. Based on OMEGA's reference 'CK 2080', a stainless steel watch launched in 1938, the "Milestone 1941" Collector's Piece is the ninth release in OMEGA's Museum Collection.
"The 'Milestone 1941' is driven by an exclusive OMEGA calibre 3203," claims the company. "The manual-winding chronograph is a COSC-certified chronometer and features OMEGA's Co-Axial escapement with a free sprung balance as well as a column wheel chronograph mechanism."
Each year, the OMEGA Museum Collection selects one classic timepiece, which has to be more than fifty years old, and blends its design with OMEGA's Co-Axial technology and exquisite materials. The Milestone 1941 has been produced in keeping with this tradition and the timepiece has a discreet 38 mm 18 Ct white gold case presented on a black alligator strap with an 18 Ct white gold buckle.r
