Luxury watchmakers are having to rethink what young buyers want.

Gen z is moving away from the big, flashy sports watches that dominated the market, and toward smaller, vintage-looking and more jewelry-like timepieces.

And that shift is already showing up in sales, forcing watch brands to change both their designs and how they reach customers.

<p>The second Test between India and Australia, i.e. a day-night encounter, kicked off on Friday (Dec 6) at the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide. Opting to bat first, Rohit Sharma-led India ended the first session at 82-4. Losing opener Yashasvi Jaiswal on the first ball, Shubman Gill-KL Rahul stitched a 69-run stand before India lost three quick wickets prior to the dinner break.

<p>Bill Gates, in a recent podcast appearance, has made an explosive statement that is not sitting well with the Indians.</p>

<p>Appearing on a podcast with Reid Hoffman, the tech mogul called India a "kind of laboratory to try things". His comment has left netizens fuming, with many calling him out for his "white privilege".</p>

<h2><strong>What exactly did Bill Gates say?</strong></h2>

<p>When asked by the podcast host about where he sees progress or momentum outside his industry that inspires him, Gates said: "India is an example of a country where there's plenty of things that are difficult there - the health, nutrition, education is improving and they are stable enough and generating their own government revenue enough that it's very likely that 20 years from now people will be dramatically better off and it's kind of a laboratory to try things that then when you prove them out in India, you can take to other places."</p>

<p>"And so our biggest non-US office for the Foundation is in India and the most number of pilot roll out things we're doing anywhere in the world are with partners in India," he added.</p>

<p>Posting a snippet of the conversation, an X user wrote: "India is a laboratory, and we Indians are Guinea Pigs for Bill Gates. This person has managed everyone from the Government to opposition parties to the media. His office operates here without FCRA, and our education system has made him a hero!

Bill Gates, in a recent podcast appearance, has made an explosive statement that is not sitting well with the Indians. Appearing on a podcast with Reid Hoffman, the tech mogul called India a "kind of laboratory to try things". His comment has left netizens fuming, with many calling him out for his "white privilege". What exactly did Bill Gates say? When asked by the podcast host about where he sees progress or momentum outside his industry that inspires him, Gates said: "India is an example of a country where there's plenty of things that are difficult there - the health, nutrition, education is improving and they are stable enough and generating their own government revenue enough that it's very likely that 20 years from now people will be dramatically better off and it's kind of a laboratory to try things that then when you prove them out in India, you can take to other places."

Bill Gates calls India 'kind of laboratory to try things,' leaves netizens fuming

<p>Glenn Phillips&nbsp;plucked a stunner to get rid of Ollie Pope in the final session of Day 2 of the first Test between New Zealand and England, at the Hagley Oval, Christchurch on Friday (Nov 29). In the second ball of the 52nd over, Tim Southee offered width outside off-stump as Pope slashed at the ball but couldn't keep it down. As a result, Phillips saw a chance and flew like a bird to his right at gully to take a sensational catch. Since his international debut in 2017, the 27-year-old Phillips has taken some absolute screamers as his fielding skills continues to attract eyeballs.</p>

<p><strong>Here is the viral video of Phillips' catch, shared by the official X account of BlackCaps -</strong></p>

<p>A tragic and bizarre incident occurred when a monkey jumped upon a car and broke through its sunroof in Varanasi city in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Here's how the bizarre incident occurred</strong></h2>

<p>The monkey lept on the parked car's rooftop, and at that moment the sunroof shattered.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The mammal landed straight into the car's backseat&nbsp;but within seconds, he jumped out of the vehicle&nbsp;through the broken sunroof and then crossed the road very casually.</p>

<p>A shocking video of a robotic dog which was navigating across tough and rugged terrain very smoothly went viral on social media. The robotic canine, which was reportedly manufactured by a Chinese company, can perform various tasks and proved to be "unstoppable" even during “extreme weather conditions.”</p>

<p>The video has left the netizens split. Some people expressed excitement at this technological development, however, some expressed fear regarding the advanced features of the robo-dogs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The video of the robotic dog was shared by Deep Robotics on YouTube with the caption, “Extreme Off-Road | DEEPRobotics Lynx All-Terrian Robot.”&nbsp;</p>

A shocking video of rash driving emerged on the streets of India's national capital, Delhi, when a car jumped a traffic signal and carried two traffic policemen on its bonnet for 20 metres.

A shocking video of rash driving emerged on the streets of India's national capital, Delhi, when a car jumped a traffic signal and carried two traffic policemen on its bonnet for 20 metres. In the video, the Maruti Suzuki Fronx was seen taking a U-turn with the two policemen clutching the bonnet, risking their lives. However, the car kept moving with the cops dangling precariously. That's classic 'janta hai Mera baap Kaun hai' brigade of #DelhiNCR . The video is from Vasant Kunj Red light #Delhi where an erring driver carried around two @dtptraffic cops on bonnet. He was eventually penalised but is that enough to rein in the rogues? #DelhiNews pic.twitter.com/YPcEpli2nN — Sumedha Sharma (@sumedhasharma86) November 3, 2024 × According to the police, the car continued to drive for around 20 minutes as the policemen kept holding on to the bonnet. Here's how the incident took place The incident took place at the Ber Sarai area in the national capital around 7.30 pm on Saturday (Nov 2). Also Read: Gurugram accident: Horrific video shows bike crashing into SUV coming from wrong side The police officers, Assistant Sub-Inspector Pramod and Head Constable Shailesh Chauhan, said that they were checking the cars which were passing the busy area near Ber Sarai market. The car suddenly jumped the red light. When the car was signalled to stop, the vehicle slowed down and then suddenly accelerated. The police officers fell on the bonnet as the car moved forward and it stopped only after covering 20-odd metres. The police officials were admitted to Safdarjung hospital. On the basis of the statements of the police officials, a case was registered under sections related to attempt to murder and causing obstruction to a public servant in his duty. “A PCR call was received at the Kishan Garh police station stating that an unknown vehicle had hit traffic officers on duty and fled the scene," said a police officer. “The injuries sustained by ASI Pramod and Head Constable Sailesh were reported to be minor. But the intention was to kill them," another police officer added. The investigation into the incident is underway. (With inputs from agencies)

<p>Talking about the India-NZ Test series, Rohit-led hosts lost the three-match Test series opener at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru by eight wickets. After a washed out opening day, India opted to bat first -- in challenging conditions -- and got dismissed for 46 (their lowest-ever score&nbsp;on home soil) courtesy of pacer Matt Henry's 5 for 15.

<p>It may sound unbelievable, but engineers and tech experts have now made it possible to send two robots on a date, and they shared the video of this interesting conversation on the social media platform YouTube.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the video, two humanoid robots - Ameca and Azi - who enjoy the title of the "most advanced in the world" are seen "having a chat" and showing their different facial expressions.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Their interesting conversation has left many viewers amused and delighted, with some even joking that a full-length movie should be made on these bots.</p>

Can saving life be penalised? In the UK, an experienced veterinarian has been reprimanded for taking home a cat she was instructed to euthanise. The veterinarian identified as Janine Parody reportedly took home a cat she was instructed to euthanise, and later charged the feline's owner nearly £500 ($655) for the animal's treatment.

Can saving a life be a crime? Vet faces reprimand after refusing to euthanise 'sweet young cat'

<p>After more than 80,000 years, a comet will again become visible from Earth - in a treat for the sky gazers - during two separate phases in the next month.</p>

<p>Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, which is also called Comet A3, will now orbit around the Sun after more than 80,000 years,&nbsp;according to a report published on Earth.com.</p>

<p>The comet has become visible from Earth from September 27 and will appear in the sky before sunrise on October 2.</p>

<p>It is likely to appear like a fuzzy ball with a tail which stretches across the sky.</p>

<p>"C/2023 A3 has an orbital period of approximately 80,000 years, classifying it as a long-period comet. This means its behaviour and appearance can be unpredictable, with potential changes in brightness and tail development as it approaches the sun," said Minjae Kim, a space expert in the University of Warwick's astronomy department, while speaking to Earth.com.</p>

<p>"If predictions hold, it could be visible to the naked eye, appearing as a fuzzy star with a tail stretching across the sky.&nbsp;Otherwise, binoculars or a small telescope may reveal more detail in the comet’s structure and tail," Kim explained.</p>

<p>The comet achieved its perihelion on September 27 which means it came to the closest point to the sun and will not go on a trip back towards the outer solar system,&nbsp;as per WKMG.</p>

<p>The comet will also become visible in the middle of October if the comet lives after its trip around the Sun. This is because comets generally break apart as they come closer to the sun.</p>

<p>After the trip, the comet will become visible to the naked eye when it comes closest to Earth and its best visibility is likely to be from October 12 until October 20.</p>

<p>Every night, the comet will move higher up in the sky till it disappears again for the next 80,000 years.</p>

Also Read: Weight, speed of Nepal plane, crashed in July, did not match guidelines “Up to that point, the captain told us, ‘We are going to land in Barranquilla,’ and everything was normal. Suddenly, we entered a fog, we could no longer see anything and the turbulence began," she added. Here's how passengers reacted as plane shook violently mid-air In the scary footage, the aircraft was seen shaking uncontrollably, because of which the passengers were screaming and reciting prayers. “Virgin of Carmen, Hail Mary most pure, God save you…! My God, please help us,” one petrified flyer was heard chanting, as per El Tiempo. “Of course, we were stressed, desperate, everyone was crying, screaming, others were praying, because we really saw that we were not going to survive,” said Ebratt. Watch: China's Y-9 Reconnaissance Plane flew over Japan's Danjo Islands Because of the fierce rattling of the aircraft, the pilot failed to land, because of which the flight was diverted and had to touch down in the coastal city of Cartagena. Several hours later, the flight was finally able to fly to its destination of Barranquilla. After the plane safely landed on the tarmac, the passengers applauded the pilot and cabin crew.

Passengers freak out, fear death as tropical storm rattles plane mid-air: Watch

<p>India started the opening day of the first Test versus Bangladesh, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Thursday (Sep 19), on a poor note after being asked to bat first. Courtesy of Hasan Mahmud, India were 34-3 with captain Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli falling for cheap. Kohli had all eyes on himself as he marked his return to the Test side after the South Africa tour, missing the England home series early this year.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, Kohli failed to get going and departed for a run-a-ball six, being caught behind by Litton Das off Mahmud. The pacer exposed Kohli's weakness outside the off-stump as the 35-year-old edged one behind the stumps. <strong>Here is the video of Kohli's dismissal:</strong></p>

Watch: Earth's completion of full rotation captured in stunning timelapse video

<p>In an unusual scene, a Serene Air pilot was captured cleaning the windscreen of a flight in Pakistan just before the take-off in a video.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The&nbsp;video of the pilot&nbsp;cleaning the window was posted on social media platform X after which it went viral in no time. &nbsp;</p>

<p>In the footage, the Serene Air pilot was seen leaning out of the side of the plane to clear his view.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to media reports, the incident took place on an Airbus A330-200 which operates international flights between Pakistan and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.</p>

In a bizarre twist of fate, a man in Rome found himself engrossed in a book during what was allegedly supposed to be an attempted robbery. What happened? The 38-year-old suspect, who is yet to be identified, as per reports, broke into an apartment through a balcony in the Italian capital. However, upon entering the house, he spotted a book on Homer's Iliad. He became so captivated by the book that he lost track of time and his alleged criminal intentions. The owner of the house, a 71-year-old man, was present in the house during the robbery attempt. When he confronted the to-be robber, the literary fan was so absorbed in his reading that he seemingly ignored the interruption.

It's fantastic, says the book's author The book that distracted the would-be thief as per NBC15 was "The Gods at Six O'Clock" by Giovanni Nucci. Giovanni Nucci, the book's author, was nothing short of amused by the incident. Speaking to the Italian newspaper Il Messaggero, Nucci expressed his amusement and surprise at the unusual turn of events and remarked, "It's fantastic. I'd like to find the person caught red-handed and give him the book, because he'll have been arrested halfway through reading it. I'd like him to be able to finish it." Also read | What is love?
