Luxury World

2010 Watch Fair in Basel, Switzerland site, the Michele Watches pavilion is filled with up and down the bustling media practitioners, industry and dealer watches, and in many Swiss watch brand, Longines is the most lively booth vociferous. Meanwhile, at any time to see Mr. WaltervonKaenel shuttle between the Chopard Watches global media distributors and busy figure, and now have reached 69 years old, he is still energetic, motivated, and with talking to hearty laughter from time to time. In fact, since 1969, came to Mr. WaltervonKaenel Senior watches and clocks, he has already worked a full 41 years in the Longines, and 22 years in Omega Watches which he is president of the identity of Longines burning passion, pursuit of the ideal at the same time spur himself and others around them.

In the interview process, WaltervonKaenel President talked about the idea of Longines tabulation and his philosophy of time. He described the Longines is a great brand, a feeling of luxury, while talking about this time, his eyes a kind of movement of young people in general like luster, which makes us believe that consistent Longines love, was his share of from the heart showing the source of happiness lies.

Talking about past unforgettable experience, WaltervonKaenel could not help but talk about Mr. personally experienced several crises. Employed more than 40 years, he has experienced large and small, numerous difficult times, of which the greatest impact will have to be from 1970 to 1980 between the Swiss watchmaking industry appears quartz revolution, before and after the two oil crises, and in 2008 The financial crisis sweeping the globe. Perhaps it was because I have personally experienced several crises, WaltervonKaenel President of today the Swiss watch industry will be the ever-changing fair to pending.

In this year’s Basel watch show, WaltervonKaenel President still maintain its consistent optimism that in the past year Longines stable and sustainable business growth.

In our constantly changing world, it is a wonder when a watchmaking company has a long history of operating. The longevity of a replica watch  series is even more surprising. Omega miraculously managed to do both things. The company was founded in 1848, and the Omega Constellation series has been popular since 1952. The secret of the long-lasting popularity of the collection is quite simple. The design of the watches is constantly updated, and new models often join the fake watches Omega Constellation family.
The watch to join the collection in 2007 was the replica watches  Omega Constellation Quartz Chronograph. The timepiece was launched to celebrate the collaboration between the brand and one of the world golf events, the Mission Hills World Cup.
The Omega Constellation Quartz Chronograph is available in two versions – either in red gold or in titanium. The cases of both versions feature the signature “claws” of the Constellation series, first introduced in 1982. The version in red gold comes with a lacquer-coated bezel, while the bezel of the sportier titanium version of the timepiece is rubber-coated.
The dial of both models has an interesting colour and structure – it was blackened by PVD coating. The black dial is a perfect background for two counters at 3 and 6 o’clock, forming a figure of eight. The dial of the Omega Constellation Quartz Chronograph also features a date display window between 4 and 5 o’clock. The hour markers and the Dauphine style hands of the watch are coated with Super-Luminova to ensure that that the watch will be glowing brightly even in the dark.
Keeping up the sporty spirit of the design, Omega offers the timepiece with a black rubber strap.

Fake watcehs Omega inaugurated a worldwide advertising campaign celebrating the tenth anniversary of its revolutionary Co-Axial technology, at a party at London’s Saatchi Gallery on the 14th of October. The campaign will have its global launch on the 19th of October.

Party guests toasted two of Omega’s prominent spokespersons George Clooney and Cindy Crawford who were on hand at the celebration. The advertisements feature photographs of Omega’s high-profile ambassadors, including Crawford and Clooney, sporting or holding loupes, the magnifying glasses favoured by watchmakers. 

Crawford and Clooney, joined by fake watches Omega president Stephen Urquhart, posed for photographs in front of poster-sized reproductions of their advertisements. They also looked at the larger-than-life images of their fellow OMEGA ambassadors including Buzz Aldrin, Michael Phelps, Michael Schumacher, and Caterina Murino.

The special guests came directly to the party at the prestigious gallery from the premiere of Fantastic Mr. Fox, an animated film based on Roald Dahl’s book of the same name. The movie features Clooney’s voice along with those of Meryl Streep and Bill Murray.

After taking in the exhibition, Clooney and Crawford chatted with international media and posed for photographs with fans and well wishers.

Advertising as art: where better than the Saatchi Gallery?
The Saatchi Gallery on Kings Road, where the exhibition was held, has one of the world’s pre-eminent collections of contemporary art and along with works by established artists, it features work by largely unseen young artists or by international artists whose work is rarely exhibited in the UK.

Inspired by Omega’s award-winning advertisement
The campaign’s visuals were inspired by Omega’s award-winning “Watchmaker Wanted” advertisement featuring a Greg Williams photograph of George Clooney wearing a lab coat and a loupe. The headlines in each of the advertisements refer both to the ambassador’s professional accomplishments and to Omega’s Co-Axial calibres.

Cindy Crawford’s features the bold legend, “The beauty is in the detail.” For Clooney, there is a reference to the fact that his father has been a long-time Omega wearer. “It runs in the family,” the headline says. All of Omega’s other high-flying ambassadors are featured in the campaign. Advertisements featuring actresses Nicole Kidman and Zhang Ziyi are still in development.

The other “stars” in the adverts: Omega’s Co-Axial calibres
The Co-Axial escapement, introduced in 1999, was the first practical new watch escapement to be developed in some 250 years. The escapement is, in simple terms, the heart of the mechanical watch. It maintains the oscillations of the balance, the watch’s regulating mechanism. The Co-Axial Escapement reduces the friction among the parts that transmit energy to the other components, resulting in longer service intervals, a reduced need for lubrication and, above all, greater stability of the watch’s precision over time.

“Co-Axial has been a turning point”
Commenting on the advertisements, Omega president Stephen Urquhart said, “The Co-Axial has been a turning point for us. It has given substance to our message. Creating a campaign around the quality of Omega’s Co-Axial movements using these pictures of our brand ambassadors is an innovative and eye-catching way to communicate how proud we are that the calibres have been so well received and how confident we are about the role they will play in Omega’s future.”

 One of 2010’s most talked-about movie releases is Up in the Air starring George Clooney as Ryan Bingham, a man who is hired by corporations which are downsizing. It is his task to communicate the bad news to employees who are losing their jobs. Bingham describes himself as a Termination Facilitator.

The film, directed by Jason Reitman, has been universally praised by critics and has had an enthusiastic box-office reception in every market where it has opened. It had more Golden Globe nominations than any other movie, including one for Clooney as Best Actor and awards for Clooney’s co-stars, Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick. Reitman was nominated both for his direction and his screenwriting and the film is up for consideration as Best Drama. The Golden Globes are considered to be a strong indication of what movies might receive Academy Award® consideration.

Up in the Air is a timely release – its theme of corporate downsizing resonates powerfully with recession-era movie audiences. While the screenplay sizzles with dark humour – much of it delivered by Clooney – it is a perceptive observation of these precarious economic times.

Sharp-eyed viewers will notice that Clooney’s character, Ryan Bingham, wears an fake watches  Omega Hour Vision wristwatch. Clearly, the times are not as tough for the man who delivers the bad news as for the people who receive it.

The evening of 25 December 2009 Christmas has come and gone. The gifts were exchanged – maybe last night, maybe this morning, depending on your culture or your own family traditions. And now you have 364 days before it’s time to do it all again. There are only about 8,700 hours to select, buy and wrap next year’s presents – less, if you do your shopping early.

And the passing of time is tracked sublimely on the replica watch fashion  OMEGA wristwatch she found under the tree. Each glance at the watch reminds her of the best Christmas ever and the special person who gave it to her.

She will notice more of the 525,600 minutes between this Christmas and next than usual because she can’t keep her eyes off the dial. And the replica watch fashion OMEGA she received this year will be counting down the days perfectly. Who should be thinking about you each time she looks at her watch?

OMEGA’s holiday selections
To mark all the great moments this holiday season and in the years to come, OMEGA has some selections for 2009 including two dramatically detailed Constellations for ladies and an eye-catching Seamaster Aqua Terra Co-Axial Chronograph for gents or for women who enjoy wearing larger watches.

Thanks.

Fashion watch Omega, the Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games, today announced a new relationship with U.S. speed skating star and three-time Olympian Apolo Anton Ohno. As an Ambassador, Ohno will join OMEGA to celebrate great Olympic moments in time at the Vancouver Games, where he has qualified for three individual and one relay short-track events and is poised to make history. Ohno, a top medal contender and Olympic favorite, is two medals shy of surpassing Bonnie Blair as the most decorated American Winter Olympian.

As the newest member of the OMEGA family, Ohno will wear the OMEGA Seamaster Planet Ocean Olympic Timeless Collection Chronograph. To celebrate this new relationship, Ohno will visit the recently-opened OMEGA Boutique in Vancouver for a special appearance following his performance at the Games, and will visit the OMEGA Flagship Boutique in New York City for a special appearance upon his return to the United States.

OMEGA began its Olympic timekeeping tradition at the Los Angeles 1932 Olympic Games. In addition to its prominent role as the Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games, OMEGA has been behind many of the most important technological developments in all of sports timekeeping – including new technologies for the sport of speed skating, many of which Ohno has experienced first-hand.

“In my sport, where the difference between a gold, silver and bronze medal comes down to 1/1000 of a second, OMEGA’s cutting-edge timekeeping technology and unmatched accuracy give me the confidence to keep my focus on performing my absolute best,” said Ohno. “I am proud to partner with OMEGA here in Vancouver and help celebrate the brand’s rich Olympic history. It is an absolute honor to receive their support and be part of a brand that means so much to the Olympic Movement.”

At the 1992 Winter Games in Albertville,Replica watch OMEGA introduced its Scan-O-Vision system for speed skating that digitally measured times to the nearest thousandth of a second as the skaters crossed the finish line. The system effectively photographed time by fusing time and continuous picture in a single document, heralding a new chapter in the science of timekeeping. At the Winter Games in Turin in 2006, where Ohno won three medals, transponders were strapped to the ankles of speed skaters so that timekeepers might capture a moment of sudden acceleration, the speed round a hairpin bend, or the abrupt end to a challenge as a racer crashed to the ice.

“We are very proud to support Apolo here in Vancouver and look forward to watching him compete,” said OMEGA President Stephen Urquhart. “OMEGA has a long history in the sport of speed skating, using its expertise to develop new timekeeping technologies for competition. Apolo is poised to make history of his own here in Vancouver, and we are thrilled to welcome him to the OMEGA family as an Ambassador.”

A five-time Olympic medalist, Ohno is currently tied for the most career winter medals by a U.S. man. He has won an Olympic medal in every event that he has competed, capturing gold (1500m) and silver (1000m) medals at the Salt Lake City 2002 Olympic Winter Games and gold (500m) and two bronze (1000m, 5000m relay) medals at the 2006 Winter Games in Torino. He has been the top American short-track skater since 2001, capturing 12 U.S. National titles, three overall World Cup titles and becoming the first and only American to win the overall World Championships title. After conquering the short track in Torino, the Seattle native made his mark in Hollywood, winning the coveted “Dancing with the Stars” disco ball trophy in 2007.

The OMEGA Boutique in Vancouver, which will remain open throughout the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, is located on the ground floor of the Fairmont Hotel and showcases a full range of OMEGA’s timepieces, including the Olympic Games-themed Timeless Collection and the Seamaster Diver 300M “Vancouver 2010” Limited Edition watch created to commemorate the 24th time that OMEGA has served as Official Timekeeper for the Olympic Games.

Swiss luxury watchmaker replica Omega watch and its global ambassador Zhang Ziyi jointly launched the new Omega
Constellation 2009 Collection to the Asian market
in Shanghai, China. The launch got off to a start with the
enactment of the show ‘Bell at Dawn, Drum at Dusk’. The large screen displayed images of the universe, with the sun and the moon making alternate appearances. Countless stars drew beautiful arcs in the vast expanse of the sky and slowly gathered to form one constellation after another. The new Omega Constellation watches slowly emerged among radiant stars.

The Constellation’s flame brightened the vast expanse of the universe in which popular movie images flashed by – from a pure and unsophisticated village girl in The Road Home, headstrong Jen in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the elegant and divine blind dancer in House of Flying Daggers, to a gracefully restrained traditional Chinese woman in Forever Enthralled – these distinctive characters were all perfectly interpreted by Zhang Ziyi in the past decade. Today, her dedication to the acting profession has won her a brand new role.

Replica Omega Watches  is really serious about promoting their new Constellation watches for women. I mean the watch line isn’t anything new, but they just revamped the style of the watches, so they have been thoroughly updated. They even hired Cindy Crawford for one of the watch release parties. I must admit the line has always looked good on a woman’s wrist, and here are two new interesting colors for the watch – purple and white on matching reptile skin straps.
