When it Comes to Watches, Larry King is “LeCoultre’d”

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

Larry KingSome people know him as Lawrence Zeiger – but the rest of the world knows his as Larry King – the tough talking host of the CNN late night show “Larry King Live”.

Larry always seems to have the “interview du jour” and his dance card is usually filled with names like Putin, Oprah, Clapton, Ahmadinejad, Obama, Trump and Dog the Bounty Hunter….Just to name a few..

Larry King was born in 1933 in Brooklyn and was raised in Florida where he spent most of his formative years. He cut his teeth in radio in the early 50’s since broadcast TV did not quite have the popularity as it does today.

Remember – this was back in a world where your TV set received 4 channels – and you liked it…. AND if you wanted to change the channel – you would get up off the couch and turn the dial to one of the other 3 channels (sometimes with a pair of pliers) .. Needless to stay Larry stayed in radio for a while.

Since the 50’s – Larry has had  successful careers in radio as well as cable tv receiving even more awards (+10) that he has had marriages (8).

So what does the host one of the most popular shows on CNN wear when he steps out on the town? A Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso!

Ashlee Simpson Rocks H. Stern

Friday, November 6th, 2009

h-stern-ashlee-simpsonAs younger sister to Jessica Simpson, Ashlee Simpson had the potential to be forever overshadowed by her mega-star sibling. However, the petite beauty has so far released 2 successful #1 albums along with having consistent acting roles in film and TV.  Her marriage to emo-pop king Pete Wentz has resulted in both further fame and a son named Bonx Mowgli Simpson-Wentz.

Despite a series of performance blunders including a botched lip-synch incident on MTV and a poorly received half-time show at the 2005 Orange Bowl, Simpson has persevered as a singer and actress. As a testament to her strength, Cosmopolitan magazine chose Ashlee to be the cover model for their February 2005 issue calling her the “Fun Fearless Female of the Year.”  It’s fitting then to see Simpson in the December 2009 issue of Women’s Health magazine boldy modeling an H.Stern DVF “Power” ring.

The striking ring is a Diane von Furstenberg design produced by H.Stern which is crafted as a symbol of empowerment.  Displaying a massive rock crystal gemstone in warm 18k yellow gold, this gorgeous ring is the perfect complement to Ashlee’s measured confidence and grace.
