A New Found Respect for David Beckham

Friday, August 31st, 2007

beckham-family-2.jpgI have to admit I was never a huge fan of David or Victoria Beckham – mainly because I didn’t understand them. They lived across the pond and rarely came to America. Tabloids were the only connection I had to them – and in the tabloids – they just didn’t seem very interesting to me. I really thought they were a couple of stuffy Brits with metal parts and stunning good looks – end of story.

So when they decided to invade America I figured I should do a bit of homework to see what the “Beckham Hoopla” was all about.

After a few hours of watching Youtube I was actually amazed how personable and funny they are. Maybe they are just great actors – but I was sold. She actually smiles and makes fun of herself – and he actually talks…(ok – not a whole lot, but he does speak – sort of).

Then, the Victoria Beckham Comes to America show came on NBC. You gotta watch this show. They only made two episodes but its well worth seeing. During the show she graciously confronts Perez Hilton and is wide open about her distaste for Eddie Murphy. Its brilliant.

Armed with intrigue, I went searching to find out what watch David Beckham wears. After searching high and low I found this photo of the Beckham’s with child in tow.

If you look closely you will see that David is wearing an Audemar Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Limited Edition T3 watch arguably one of the coolest watches on the planet.

David Beckham..you officially have a cool watch!

Sasha Primak Diamond Anniversary Rings

primak-diamond-anniversary-rings.jpgWhen it comes to diamond anniversary rings, Sasha Primak is clearly at the front of the field in US diamond jewelry manufacturing. With designs that are classic and elegant, this company exemplifies the notion that diamond jewelry can be both simple and stunning.

There are many factors which make Sasha Primak the go-to brand for anniversary jewelry. To begin with, their diamonds are all conflict-free fine Russian cut gemstones which display a staggering amount of brilliance and scintillation.

And perfectly matched diamonds are just the beginning. Sasha Primak only sets their diamonds in special platinum and gold alloys which they make in house, and which are exclusive to their brand. Sasha Primak is the only major US jewelry manufacturer who has their metal alloys tested by one of England’s most prestigious mints to verify the purity and consistency of the material.

Finally, each of these stunning diamond anniversary rings is hand rendered by skilled artisans who draw from the rich history of Russian diamond jewelry craftsmanship. The result of all of these elements is diamond jewelry which dazzles and enchants all who behold its majesty.

Watch Designs: No Rhyme, No Reason

Monday, August 6th, 2007

watch-backs.jpg As a self confessed watch lover and collector, I like most others, each year I await the next new and cool design from my favorite brands. Recently I’ve paused at the introduction of a couple new models/trends and asked myself why?
 
Like most other consumer categories, one would assume that new products are introduced to the market based on a combination of: being new and innovative, fashionable and stylish or useful and necessary. Furthermore, the way a smart brand might verify that what they were introducing to the market was appropriate might be to talk to their customer base, do market surveys and conduct focus groups. I have a sneaking suspicion that this doesn’t really happen in the world of luxury (at least not very much and certainly in all my years of excessive watch consumption, nobody has asked me).

Food for thought…
 
- Why do brands think complications for ladies are a good idea? They certainly haven’t met my wife or any of her friends. Look and style without the hassle is the order of the day. She doesn’t want a tourbillion or perpetual calendar; she wants the new color, bigger case, innovative design or more diamonds on the watch.
 
- Why do brands provide a skeleton case back and then forget (or not bother) to finish the rotor and movement ?……pssst, watch brands, that is when you should have a solid case back, FYI.
 
- If you’re a brand and you’re still producing the vast majority of your [tag]watch models[tag] at case sizes under 40mm for men……are you happy with declining sales? I realize that bigger isn’t always better and many brands have taken the “bigger is better phenonenon” to ridiculous levels.
 
- Tourbillons…… hmm, you have $175k tourbillons and now you have them for under $40k. Something seems to be wrong with this spread. Is it just me?
 
- If you produce a serious [tag]divers’ watch[tag] (i.e. water resistant 300m or greater) but don’t offer the watch on a rubber or metal bracelet (only leather). Again, hmmm
 
- Why do watch brands state that their watch is water resistant to 30m and then tell you it wasn’t meant to get wet?
 
- One of my favorites……so many brands have copied Panerai with integrated or protected crowns (sometimes even between the strap lugs).  Are many of these brands aware that it is almost impossible to fully wind these watches without bloodshed, blisters or raw skin?
 
If you want to know what is going to sell luxury brands. All you need to do is ask…….your customers would love to tell you.

Expect The Unexpected With Today’s High Luxury Timepieces

Monday, August 6th, 2007

audemars-piguet.jpg If you take a moment to think about high prestige watchmaking, these are probably the things that come to mind: gold or platinum cases (or finely finished stainless steel), a shiny, luxurious bracelet, or glittering rhodium-plated or German silver movements, decorated with traditional finishing. And, in many instances, this is in fact just what you get. Beautifully made watches usually look…well, beautiful!

However, more and more we are seeing the use of unconventional materials for the creation of high grade timepieces, in all facets–from the straps that join the things to our wrists, to the case materials, and even the movement itself. Considering that rubber straps on a luxury timepiece were once considered daring and avante garde, we have come quite a distance. Rubber now decorates bezels and chronograph buttons, as well as merging with traditional luxury materials like gold and platinum, as in the fabulously successful Hublot Big Bang watch series, or some of the elegantly sporty creations from Harry Winston Rare Timepieces.

Audemars Piguet would be one of the best examples of the “new” wave in luxury watchmaking. This manufacturer, without question one of the most historically important and prestigious in the world, has dived head first into pursuing many of these cutting edge materials and technologies. They were a pioneer as far back as the 1990’s when the Offshore Chronograph took the luxury sports watch scene by storm, showcasing rubber straps and chronograph pushpieces and crowns decorated with rubber; later, the Royal Oak Offshore Rubberclad came out, its famous octagonal bezel covered with a form fitting layer of rubber. At present, the company has made waves again with this year’s Royal Oak Offshore Alinghi Team Chronograph watch, with an incredibly lightweight, super strong case made from black-as-midnight forged carbon! Those who have had a chance to handle the watch say its unlike anything else they have ever seen–imagine a $20,000-plus luxury watch which is about as heavy (and flashy) as a Casio G-Shock! There is nothing lightweight, however, about the quality and constructive detail of this watch, to say nothing of the carbon forging procedure. Audemars Piguet has also been a leader in novel materials for movements as well; the stunning Millenary Maserati MC-12 Tourbillon watch employs a unique carbon mainplate to support the complex structure of the mechanism.

Then there is Patek Philippe and Breguet. Can you get any more classical than these two brands? Yet, Patek made waves in the last few years with their silicon escapement components, and Breguet has followed up with their own contributions in this regard, including a hairspring in silicon which may offer some very real potential advantages over traditional steel ones, not the least of which is an impressive resistance to magnetism and corrosion. This in turn means a much reduced likelihood of any unscheduled servicings–always a good thing!

This topic wouldn’t be complete without bringing up Ulysse Nardin, who have made pursuing the unusual and exotic a high brand priority. Aided by the brilliance of Dr. Ludwig Oeschlin and a talented team of watchmakers and designers, Ulysse Nardin has shown us the remarkable Freak and the subsequent Freak DIAMonSIL Carrousel-Tourbillon watch which is remarkable in both its function, and its Dual Ulysse escapement which utilizes both silicon and diamond to improve energy transmission, and component longevity. I admit to leaving literally piles of companies and/or watches unmentioned here, but if I go on much longer, this thing is going to be a sleep inducer rather than a blog.

Ultimately then, we are seeing a stimulating renaissance in the development of luxury watchmaking. From exclusive watches manufactured from radical and unconventional materials, to mechanical masterpieces whose function is optimized by digital-age components, the connoisseur has an unprecedented range of brilliant choices to add diversity and spice to his or her collection.
