• Gift Guide: Victorinox Dive Master 500 Dive Watch

    Updated: 2012-11-30 17:55:45
    As one of TechCrunch's resident watch fans, I was intrigued by the Victorinox Dive Master 500, a fairly unique automatic watch that brings the best of the Swiss mechanical along with styling reminiscent of some of the better divers. The build is solid, the 43mm case is well-polished, and the face is very legible.

    Updated: 2012-11-30 17:28:09
    The new iMac all-in-one desktop computer from Apple goes on sale today, and it includes a significant hardware redesign. Apple has cut bulk and thinned out the edges with a tapered design that is only 5 mm thick at the edge. Leaving aside what's new under the hood, the case itself is impressive enough that it merits a good look. Here's what the new 21.5-inch version of the iMac looks like, and how it stacks up to other Apple hardware, past and present.
