There are many ways one can show their sentiments towards a loved one, from words of affirmation to spending quality time. But most people often lean towards gifts to express their sentiments, gifting them with something that reflects how they feel towards their loved ones. Among the most gifted items on most people’s lists are watches. Although there is a wide range of brands on the market, Europe has some of the best watches available. Joining their colorful roster and one to consider is Davis Elvin’s masterpieces.

Davis Elvin is a watch-making company created in Milan, Italy, in 2012. The heir to a lucrative clothing business passed on from one generation to the next, Davis wanted to create something he could call his own. Determined to fulfill his goal, he thought of a concept that would revolutionize how people saw watches while bringing honor to his roots. As a result, Davis brought to life a masterful collection that’s out to reimagine how people keep track of time.

Named after its highly-successful founder and lead designer, Davis Elvin would quickly become the epitome of “daring to be different” while challenging people to “dare to love” – to love excellent watch craftsmanship, stunning design, and the people they want to buy these masterpieces for. Its reputation can be attributed to its fusion of contemporary designs with traditional Milanese fashion.

The design adopts a technology called TLCT or Thin Layer Composite Technology – a kind of carbon fiber that brings top-level aesthetics and maximum durability for someone who wants to move with style constantly.

Among the company’s colorful catalog is its flagship watch, the DR05-S. The watch sports a simple geometric design complemented by a rhythmic pattern. Its mechanic combines technology and art, conveying what Davis expresses as “the future.” In addition, the DR05-S sports a dial with nonstop power, transcending design norms. At first glance, the watch appears simple, but the DR05-S matches all styles and contexts. Davis Elvin also launched the ES01-1, a model with dark stripes of Arabic numbers but “blooms like a flower,” as he would describe. The ES01-1 is also one of the most unique in the market, balancing style with durability.

The Davis Elvin brand is a company that not only delivers in style but also seeks to merge with today’s culture and trends. Living in a time where lifestyles are more fast-paced than ever, there is no doubt that the chic millennial or style boomer will still want to do so in style. Davis Elvin’s creations seamlessly enable one to live both seemingly opposite lifestyles. The greatest paradox of the company’s watches is that they don’t feel like they’re there at all but still manage to easily catch people’s attention with their design and look. Davis Elvin’s watches are encased with titanium alloy materials and straps that softly caress the wrist for optimal comfort.

Having been in the industry for over ten years, Davis Elvin wants to continue his work and push the boundaries of timeless design with future releases to follow.

Instagram announced that it brought back the option to sort posts in reverse chronological order rather than ranked according to its algorithms. But the company said it is still retaining the algorithm ranking method by default. The new option is set to roll out to users globally on Wednesday.

Instagram head Adam Mosseri first hinted at the new feature during a Senate hearing last year about the impact the platform has on its young users. The move appeared to address concerns over how algorithms sometimes push younger users into harmful rabbit holes that can impact their mental health.

On Wednesday, Instagram said that users will be able to switch the manners in which posts are displayed on their feed. The Following tool, most familiar to those who used social media before algorithmic feeds were introduced, highlights posts from the people the user follows in the order the posts were shared.

The other option, a Favorites feature, will show the latest posts from a list of specific accounts, such as closest friends and favorite creators. A user can add up to 50 favorites, and posts from these accounts will show up higher in their home feeds.

“We’re always working on new ways for people to have more control over their experience on Instagram, and giving you ways to quickly see what you’re most interested in is one example of those efforts,” a spokesperson for Meta, which owns Instagram, told CNN Business.

As with its corporate sibling Facebook, which also offers a reverse chronological option, users will have to opt into the feature if they want it.

“We know from research that people have a better experience on Instagram with a ranked feed, so we won’t be defaulting people into a chronological feed,” the company said in a statement. (Instagram removed the reverse chronological feed in 2016.)

This announcement comes nearly six months after Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen leaked hundreds of internal documents, including some that showed the company was aware of how Instagram can damage mental health and body image, particularly among teenage girls. US lawmakers questioned executives from Facebook and Instagram over this, halting Instagram’s plans to release a version of Instagram for kids under age 13.

Instagram has since rolled out a handful of safeguards aimed at protecting its young users, including a tool called Take a Break, which it claims will encourage people to spend some time away from the platform after scrolling for a certain period. It also said it would take a “stricter approach” to the content it recommends to teenagers and actively nudge them toward different topics, such as architecture and travel destinations.

Earlier this month, Instagram introduced a new educational hub for parents and a tool that allows them to see how much time their kids spend on Instagram and set time limits.
