With JamesBondWatches.com currently rolling out under a brand new architecture, I was prompted to look back at previous iterations for a count.
- Version 1.0 (December 9, 2005), posted under my personal domain and referenced the first confirmation that I had seen about Omega returning to provide James Bond watches for Casino Royale [1].
- Version 2.0 (November 16, 2006), registered jamesbondwatches.com domain name and propagated first dedicated home page [2].
- Version 3.0 (circa April 3, 2008), comprehensive redesign, new taxonomy, and segregation of blog content to stand-alone platform [3].
- Version 4.0 (circa April 12, 2013), complete layout revision and widening of scope to include literary and licensed watches [4].
Initial impetus for deploying Version 5.0 earlier this week has been to optimize accessibility across changing consumer platform preferences.
