Tom Brokaw Awarded Girard-Perregaux 1966 Watch For His Support In Fighting Cancer

Monday, April 28th, 2008

tom-brokaw-picture.jpgFamous national journalist Tom Brokaw has been gifted with a watch that suits his gentlemanly, reserved demeanor to a tee. As a result of his contributions to combating cancer, Mr. Brokaw now owns an exclusive Girard-Perregaux 1966 timepiece. The watch was presented to him at the recent Circle 1000 Brunch, which took place on April 18, in Costa Mesa, CA. What a fantastic way to be recognized!

The Girard-Perregaux 1966 watch is one of the finest “true” dress timepieces available today (as opposed to watches which people press into dressy situations, that aren’t really so). I well recall my first “in the metal” impression of 1966 watch, and remembered thinking how flawlessly all the details came together–elements such as the curved opaline dial, the gorgeous leaf-shaped hour and minute hands, and the slender blued steel sweep seconds hand. Dimensions are also ideal; this is a wonderfully slim watch, with a beautifully simple and finely finished case. At 38mm, it most certainly isn’t oversized, but as the name suggests, the Girard-Perregaux 1966 pays tribute to an era when classicism was something that people placed great value upon.

In all honesty, I can’t really envision Tom Brokaw (as I imagine the guy from his public personality–who knows, maybe he’s a party animal off the set) wearing something oversized and super-sporty like Girard Perregaux’s R&D 01. The 1966, on the other hand, is the perfect Girard-Perregaux watch to accompany this courteous yet stoic news figure-–I wonder if we’ll be able to catch a glimpse of Brokaw’s elegant new watch under his cuff during a future broadcast?

Hublot Joins LVMH Watch Portfolio

Monday, April 28th, 2008

hublot.jpgThe Swiss watch brand Hublot was born in 1980 as a result of the vision of founder Carlo Crocco. After significant cooling of its popularity in the 1980’s, Hublot has experienced a real rebirth in the last several years, chiefly because of the “Big Bang” watch revolution, which redefined Hublot’s aesthetic with bold new combinations of materials. This concept was brought to bear by the tirelessly creative Hublot CEO Jean-Claude Biver, who is known to many watchophiles as the mastermind behind Blancpain’s incredible revival in the 1980’s.

Now, luxury group powerhouse LVMH has stepped up and acquired Hublot. This is significant in many ways: it means that the already hugely popular Hublot brand gains the immense capital and strong leadership of LVMH to push it to the ultimate height. With LVMH behind it, Hublot can be assured of its survival and success long into the future. Technical development can proceed fruitfully, which can result in new complications and watches, which is sure to fuel the fame of Hublot even more among luxury consumers and connoisseurs. On the reverse side, LVMH gains a wonderful addition to its already formidable portfolio of high-end brands, whose Watch & Jewelry division is made up of such horological stars as TAG Heuer and Zenith.

Philippe Pascal, Chief Executive Officer of LVMH’s Watches & Jewelry business group had this to say: “Hublot is a strategic and very complementary acquisition. Its high-end positioning, selective distribution, financial performance and growth potential make Hublot a ‘rising star’. Hublot will strengthen our Watches & Jewelry business group which, over the last three years, has been growing strongly. We are very happy that Jean-Claude Biver will, along with the management team of Hublot, continue on this remarkable journey and contribute his considerable expertise to our development in this promising sector.”

But what about Hublot’s famed creativity? Will it be stifled under corporate stewardship? While time will be the judge, I think this negative scenario is highly unlikely—rather, I expect that LVMH, knowing what they have acquired, will guide Hublot to greater heights of watchmaking fame. Evidence of this is the enthusiastic endorsement of Carlo Crocco himself, who for years has proudly guarded his independent brand. Both Carlo Crocco and Jean-Claude Biver–the ultimate stewards of the Hublot message–have expressed great satisfaction with Hublot’s long term prospects under the stewardship of LVMH.

Samuel L Jackson Will Strike Down Unto Thee a Franck Muller Watch…..

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

samuel-jackson.jpgEveryone knows that Samuel L Jackson is pretty much a national treasure.

If you ever watch the movie “Pulp Fiction” you pretty much pray that you never run into a guy quite like Jules Winnfield (played by Samuel L Jackson). In this role Jackson plays a cold blooded assassin with a mean jerry curl who loves yelling homemade bible scripture at his soon to be victims – moments before he kills them (nothing like getting lectured before you get shot in the head). While Pulp Fiction may have started Jackson’s career – it didn’t define it.

This versatile actor is not just famous for scaring Gen Xers – but he is also famous for making their kids smile as well. With the latter generation, Jackson is known as the voice of “Frozone” in the Pixar favorite “The Incredibles”. He is also known for his role as the follically challenged Jedi Master Mace Windu, in the second trilogy of Star Wars films. In his career Jackson has acted in over 100 movies and has done it all.

So what does this cross generation actor chose when it comes to a fine Swiss timepiece? A Franck Muller Long Island watch with a few diamonds “struck down unto it”.

de Grisogono Meccanico dG Watch Takes ‘Digital’ Timekeeping To A Whole New Level!

Friday, April 18th, 2008

degrisogono-meccanico.jpgAt Baselworld 2008, de Grisogono revealed its fascinating and technically amazing Meccanico dG watch, which presents a revolutionary digital time display. The time display looks like the old LCD watches from the 80’s, but make no mistake–it is realized through an entirely mechanical movement, rather than electronics! The heart of the de Grisogono Meccanico dG watch is its highly complex manually wound movement, made up of new fewer than 651 individual components. The watch showcases two timezones; one is analog, and the second is presented digitally. Complications of this de Grisogono watch also extend to the back side of the watch, where you will find a power reserve indicator. The wondrous digital time display is achieved by an extremely intricate system of cams and gear assemblies that precisely shift numerous mobile microsegments via a triggering and synchronization system. These 2.90mm-long microsegments–23 in all–have four faces, two of which are colored, and two of which are plain. Extremely rapid 90 degree shifts of the microsegments effect time changes.

A good match to the groundbreaking technique of the movement, is the visual dominance of the oversized 56 X 48mm cambered case. Available in titanium, titanium and rubber, titanium and red gold, or titanium and platinum, the Meccanico dG case utilizes a large rubberized crown at 3 o’clock to control the analog display. Meanwhile, the digital hours and minutes are set via two correctors which are located on both sides of the case.

Available in a limited edition of 177 pieces, the de Grisogono Meccanico dG timepiece will surely be highly sought after by dedicated collectors, and for good reason–it is exceptionally, extraordinarily different than any conventional luxury watch! For the individual who has all the bases covered, this rare timepiece offers something that can’t be found anywhere else.

Naomi Watts – "Resident Hippie" Wears Dior Sharon Stone Watch

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

naomi-watts.jpgNaomi Watts has been known in Hollywood as a “self proclaimed hippie” or as Hollywood’s “resident hippie”. I’ll give her this much, she is known to keep Hollywood at bay opting for the low-key life in Australia AND her personal style is a bit on the bohemian side.

But if Naomi truly is  a “hippie”, the commune is now a Four Seasons Residence in as Naomi is seen here getting out of her VW Bus…..Uh I mean Luxus.

Also if you look closely at Naomi’s Watt’s wrist you will notice that’s no hemp bracelet sitting on her wrist, its the one and only Sharon Stone watch from our good friends at Dior. A fantastic piece that only a hippie with the most discriminating taste can wear.
