This demonstrates the strong pressure that Vietnamese distributors of branded products have to endure.

Women Handbags Hermes Berkin bears in Vietnam because they want to tell others, "I am rich. And I am powerful "

Articles However, traders Vietnamese brand are not yet confident enough to remain in power. Since the Vietnamese market is still small low purchasing power, branded products have made their entry into Vietnam through distributors.

It is estimated that hundreds of major brands are present in Vietnam. However, only 10 Vietnamese companies have been authorized by trademark owners as official distributor in Vietnam. Companies to import products themselves and distribute products directly to consumers through its network of retail stores.

Analysts have said a lot of branded shops have suffered losses, therefore, should try to evade taxes or the sale of counterfeit goods. In this way, they can help balance your business and use the benefits of this type of business to offset losses in other types of businesses.

Swiss watches vendors are preparing for Chinese New Year

Moderates Asian demand consumer dependence on the Swiss Watch Industry Christmas and December.

Even before the Christmas tree grew for 124 years Bucherer watch boutique in town on Lake Lucerne, Switzerland, the store had already planned decorations for the Year of the Snake.

Chinese symbols that mark the beginning of the Lunar New Year on February 10 host bus filled with Asian buyers who visit every day Lucerne and invite them inside to see Tag Heuer, Rolex Replica and more than 20 other brands.

Less than half of watches bought in the shop in December Lucerne, perhaps for Christmas, said Joerg Baumann, director of marketing Bucherer.

"Other parts of the year captured" by Christmas, Baumann said, "This is good news for retailers, because everyone wants a stable and not very seasonal."

Asian consumers relax dependency of the Swiss Watch Industry on Christmas. While December is always the most important period of sales is decreasing importance and may be exceeded by the Chinese New Year in seven years, said Jean-Claude Biver, chairman of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton brand Hublot watches.

"When I started 38 years ago, December and Christmas were 30% of the activity, but that has weakened sales are growing steadily over the last 12 months," Biver said in his office overlooking Lake Geneva and the French Alps. Christmas is now 15% to 20% of industry revenues shows, he said.

China and Hong Kong are the largest market for Swiss replica watches, which represents 30% of exports to about 200 countries registered in 2011, according to the Federation of Swiss Watch Industry. Exports to these destinations increased by 10% during the first 10 months of 2012.

Chinese interests in high-end watches remains strong despite concerns about an easing of economic growth, according to the research group and luxury marketing Digital. The number of online searches for brands of luxury watches in China increased by about 40% during the first half of the year, the company said.

Buy watches abroad allows Chinese consumers to bypass three layers of taxes on watches in China: an import duty of 11%, a 20% tax on high-end replica watches uk and 17.5% VAT, according to the HSBC.

Cie Financiere Richemont, the maker of Cartier and Vacheron Constantin, said last month that the euro's weakness was attracting more Asians leasing in Europe, helping to boost revenue in the region.

"Domestic consumption in Switzerland is not bad and there is probably still some growth, but the main thing is tourism," said Patrik Schwendimann, Zuercher Kantonalbank analyst.

Flagship store Bucherer Lucerne offers visitors six floors greeting cards red envelopes called China Hongbao that should bring good luck. A sign at the entrance lists some of the more than 20 languages ​​spoken by sales staff, while the windows describe the characteristics of watches in Chinese.

To cope with the continuing influx of Chinese consumers, about 30 of the 200 staff speak Mandarin. Bucherer also offers Chinese language courses for employees, as well as training on how best to interact with Asian consumers.

Among the key selling periods Bucherer, who has more than 20 stores in Switzerland, Germany and Austria are the week around Chinese National Day on October 01 and Chinese New Year in January or February and Thai New Year in April, said Baumann.

"Planning begins a year before our themes and how to decorate the stores," said Baumann. "People want to know who is in Switzerland, but it is a small gesture that they are aware that we know it's the holidays."

No fewer than 3,000 tourists a day visit the Asian flagship store in Lucerne Bucherer after visiting the surrounding Alpine. Store sales could reach $ 1.1 billion per day during peak hours, said Rene Weber, an analyst at Vontobel in Zurich. The store does not disclose revenue.

More than 200,000 visitors from China stayed high in Lucerne or in the region during the first nine months of this year, more than double the same period in 2007, according to the Tourism Department of the city.

The streets surrounding the Bucherer lined ornate old buildings, show the growing importance of Asian tourists. In some stores replica watches in the field of Chinese characters are larger than those in European languages, and sometimes windows display phonetic interpretations of brands in Chinese characters.

Outside Bucherer, phone salesman Zheng Xianjun taken in view of the bustling city center and the lake, after spending about $ 3,000 for a Longines watch for his wife.

"I do not buy it for any special occasion," said Zheng, who was visiting from China Guangdong. "I'm not going out that much and my wife wanted me to make it a show while I was here."

Swiss investment ramps Food Stores

For two years, the stores have been serving up Swiss luxury jewelery with a ration of food, and apparently found a winning combination.

Owners of chain jewelry, Rolex replica watches exclusively distributed in Jamaica recently expanded the area of ​​food service complex in the central business district to open a cafe called F & B Downtown.

Swiss Ueli Bangerter Stores Managing Director and its partners, the company invested U.S. $ 75,000 (About NZ $ 7 million) in the broader food service.

The mixed-use site is one of a handful of spin-offs that make investments in an attempt to capitalize on the government's policy to revitalize downtown Kingston.

The center offers high-income customers, including lawyers, bankers and telecommunications engineers, but few luxury restaurants.

Bangerter told Sunday Business that the company intends to fill this gap in the market, offering a bar, restaurant, conference and shopping. The restaurant specializes in coffee, pasta and wine.

Diversification

"We owned the building had room and saw the need for the center of good food," he said.

Going diversified operations 54 years of age Shops Swiss modernist chic restaurant seating 80.

"We now have a jewelry store in a restaurant," said Bangerter.

The store reopened in July after two months of renovation, marked by high ceilings, banks and banks narrow tables linked against orange wall. The F & B investment will be used to renovate new, new kitchen, bathrooms, facilities, bar and ordering said.

Bangerter said that jewelry is family owned, but the restaurant is a collaboration between himself, President Daniel Eugster Shops Swiss businessman Vinay Walia and security.

"We started two years ago with a table and raised," he said. "But we're closed for two months to renovate and reopen the business."

Bangerter and Eugster began his foray into the food as partners in 109 F & B Limited, a company started in 2009.

Jewelry customers are naturally rarer than 60-80 people daily. And food sales are understandably more stable.

"You can not eat jewels," quipped Bangerter.

Diners can also browse jewelry stores as Swiss Rolex, Omega replica watches, Tudor watches and Swiss army on one side of the store.

Bangerter said Digicel's main telecommunications provider plan to move their headquarters in central influenced investment.

"We have always believed in the center and Digicel made us believe that we are not alone and that there is a better future. Digicel But it could not have waited a year," he said.

Companies located in downtown Kingston under the Urban Renewal (Tax Relief) Act receive tax benefits for capital improvements, such as building renovations. This relief is 33.33 percent of capital expenditure approved.

The Government of Jamaica in an update of a long week fiscal Past U.S. Securities and Exchange also promotes relocation pending Digicel as a shot in the arm for trade.

Bring the center of life

"One of the direct consequences will be the sum of approximately 1,000 professionals and foreigners working downtown Kingston every day. This will result in increased demand for support services, such as banking, restaurants and other retail services. Digicel has continued to invest in the commercial district of the city of Kingston and the UDC has been working in collaboration with them, "said the GOJ update.

Bangerter said the ROI of F & B Center to recover in the long term.

"We spent $ 75,000 and we are not seeing a return on investment in the short term. Dollar Stores We are here for the long term. Investment is designed to allow us to stay in the long term," he said.

Swiss Rolex Stores only retailer in Jamaica, was founded by Rudolf WSckerlin Swiss Life in Jamaica. The store remains under control even Eugster Swiss Ueli Bangerter, director Peter Bangerter, executive assistant and Katie Iver.

Swiss replica watches Shops began operations in downtown Kingston, in 1958. It also has stores in the mall Plaza, Kingston, Ocho Rios and Montego Bay.

Luxurious life

"The Indian gold may be a little weak, because it is so intense yellow," says Pamela Baffour-Djan, metallic looking bracelets custody, "but that is because it is at least 22 carats," nearly pure .

She disappears into a safe storage and returns with a jaw-dropping line of high-end loot, all left Borro loan guarantee, pawnshops online. Sort Cartier diamond and pearl necklace, apparently worth € 50,000. It is followed by a solid gold Rolex watch with a face that shines like a huge clockwork currency. 1950 Fender guitar comes next, then a few diamonds thick ring around so much it looks like a miniature pool sapphire has an oligarch. Once symbols of success of their owners, these luxury items in the vault of Borro, the depths of the London Chancery Lane, represent a new type of deposit loan is far from being the poignant lines of wedding rings found in simple pawnbrokers as a traditional year-old Ferrari a used car.

The company pion exchange. Pawnshops were once considered the last resort of the poor, but it has become more socially acceptable for everyone, including the rich, borrowing against the personal valuables.

"Small businesses represent 65 percent of our business, but in the end, we the people ... businessman over 200 employees, "said Paul Aitken, CEO of Borro.

"These are often people who have bought assets in the event was good and now they want to return cash without delay."

The increasing use of pawnbrokers by the rich is not a British phenomenon. Pawngo U.S. online broker, founded in 2011, also found that entrepreneurs are increasingly relying on services to increase loans quickly without too many questions. Offering what he calls a "white glove, five-star service," CEO Todd Pawngo Ellis said he also wealthy clients who want the splendor of past good times guaranteed loans attract.

"We recently approved a loan of $ 125,000 for a client who had clearly once a great time to Louis Vuitton. The customer sent us a collection of eight to 10 impeccably Vuitton handbags, plus a large diamond and some beautiful replica watches. '

While some objects placed with this new style of pawnbroker, such as gold jewelry, may deliberately purchased as a store of value, much less obvious pitfalls of the good life also end up in the coffers, which suggests clients have often taken by surprise by a need for quick cash. Pawngo accept nothing that can not be shipped via FedEx. Unlike Borro, a large cache of art, most of the stored Christie. The company also owns a fleet of Ferraris and Porsches. To protect the identity of lenders, Borro is closed on the works they have obtained, although Aitken mentions the name of Warhol, Picasso, Henry Moore and Damien Hirst as artists whose work has spent time on the inventory Borro. The acceptability of property loans are good news for a change of angle of the pawnbroking business. But the idea that those who are committed to their business and personal finances afloat with the progress of their swiss replica watches and handbags seem precarious. Both Borro and Pawngo say though they have a reasonable, even prudent to offer a service at a time when bank loans can often be difficult to obtain.

"What I hear most often from clients is that business is good, but the money comes slowly," says Ellis Pawngo the. "In general, my clients are entrepreneurs who in the past had a lot of access to credit, banks are now more reluctant. Banks now have to go through many processes and are not really helping small businesses. "

Watch 23-jewel is popular with collectors

Please understand that we are not experts pocket replica watches, but we do our best to provide the information we can get.

Springfield Watch Co. was founded in 1869 in Springfield, Illinois, largely through the efforts of JC Adams, by looking the first time in 1872. The first directors are JT Stuart, William Miller, John Williams, George Black, George Bunn and John Passfield.

company changed its name several times and eventually became the Illinois Watch Co. He made his first nickel movement in 1879, with its first look mainspring in 1882. Illinois has used many names in his movements, and collectors find items such as "Benjamin Franklin", "Army and Navy", "Baltimore and Ohio RR," Chesapeake & Ohio "," Comet "," Commodore Perry, "" George Washington, "" Stuart "(which was the name of the first movement of the company did)," Adams Street "," Mason "," Bunn "or, as is the case today to watch, "Bunn Special."

the size of this watch probably 16. It has 23 jewels, adjusted temperature and six positions, motor barrel, 60 hours and it seems to be a model 163A. It has a serial number 5456916, indicating that it was manufactured around 1931. It was after the Illinois Watch Co. was sold to the Hamilton Watch Company of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, which took place in 1927.

the question may be asked whether you're looking rails. And that's a good question. begin to see these so-called major disaster began with a train that occurred April 19, 1891, when engineer shows defective caused two trains to collide near Cleveland, Ohio, and injured 11.

After this event, a commission was created to establish guidelines for the timing of universal standards for all railways. shows rail itself was required to meet accuracy standards that were in place during certain look that was made. This is certainly looking rail style, with a clock very well, but if it meets the technical requirements is unclear.

We have not seen the inside of a screw-cap that covers the back of the room, but we are convinced that this is the case look especially white gold filled and not "solid gold watch." This is open face look fat and black lettering in the style of rail, and a second circular dial.

Illinois Watch Co. 's 163A Bunn Special, 23 jewels, 16 size pocket swiss replica watches are highly desirable for collectors and not cheap. We have seen examples of retail for less than $ 4,200, depending on the situation.

Pocket watch collectors can be picky, and "watch virgin mint" is new in the box factory. "Near Mint" has weak marks that can be seen only with jeweler's loupe - not to the naked eye - and "extra fine" it looks like look has been very little used.

We believe that the watch in question today is worth at least $ 3,000 to $ 3,500 for insurance purposes, but jo needs to consult a professional to be sure.

2013 New IWC Ingenieur Watches Collection - Pre-SIHH

This year, the collection is an engineer and the best news is the introduction (re-) of the new Ingenieur Automatic. Automatic winding, 40 mm stainless steel tribute to the original engineer designed by Gerald Genta in 1977. Not only killer looks, also announced a return to the true functional integrity of an engineer to withstand magnetic fields up to 40,000 A / m

For now introduces three new IWC Ingenieur Automatic 40mm model, eventually reducing the size! What is also striking is the height of these models, as it is only 10 mm! This means that the new Ingenieur Automatic is more comfortable than previous models Engineer.

Inside, well protected by a soft iron case inside, press caliber 30110, which is in fact an ETA 2892. This is exactly the same movement that can be found in the new IWC Mark XVII, which was presented at the SIHH 2012. This self-winding movement beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and has 42 hours of power reserve.

Back in time - the first Ingenieur watches

IWC Ingenieur when first launched in 1954, was regarded as a monitoring tool, because it had a soft iron case around the movement to protect negative influence of magnetism. Although it does not appear that we now call dress look-a-days, measuring approximately 36 mm in diameter, it was not until 1976 that the engineer has received a major update.

Famous designer Gerald Genta, also responsible for the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and Patek Philippe Nautilus, was the same time that these two replica watches, he designed a sports watch with stainless steel bracelet integrated. It can be a typical Genta brand. When IWC Ingenieur SL ref introduced. 1832 to 1976 was not an instant success to say the least. It was produced from 1976 to 1984 and a total of 543 pieces of steel were produced (ref. 1832) and only 55 copies in gold (Ref. 9232). It is safe to say that these watches are very collectible these days and prices are eg about € 10,000!

Perhaps the reason for this success is disappointing was the fact that it is not comfortable to wear. The Ingenieur SL ref. 1832, nicknamed Jumbo has a thickness case, measuring 14 mm in height, and a little stiff wrist. The close ties of the case were quite thick and not sagging, "wrap" around the wrist. One reason for the referee. 1832, the thickness is probably the movement, the size is 8541. Ingenieur SL later models have a thin movement, based on the ETA 2892/A2 and is thinner in total.

The new Ingenieur Automatic also has a rather thin, and although the case magnetically shielded with a soft iron is important, it does not affect the thickness of the casing. Of course, the design has been updated and is modern, but most of the key design features are still intact.

The most obvious, of course, the ring with the bores 5, which was originally used for the ring position. The bezel is slightly tapered and has a step built into the watch look even thinner. All surfaces of the housing are provided with a matte finish, except that different edges are polished, allowing the engineer that the engineer has been designed with great attention to detail. Compared to the engineer, the upper crown and is now a crown SL. Also new are the shoulders generous protection around the crown.

Although I prefer black dials, I am totally overwhelmed by the silver dial / white the new Ingenieur Automatic. Diameter down to size, height of only 10 mm, the return to full "Engineer" feature withstand up to 40,000 A / m and even design-wise to Getnta root. I'm in love and if the price is right, I want a fast, new Ingenieur Automatic is super sexy!

Further details are clearly visible on the pictures (or rendered graphics) and I'm very curious about this new collection in January at SIHH. A final mood pictures and specifications of three new models.

Some Best Watches are not made in Swiss but Geneva

A relatively new player in watchmaking, Roger Dubuis, over the past two years show an aggressive approach to watchmaking while most of his peers walked with caution due to the maturation of the West and the slowdown in the global economy. Earlier this year, over a cup of tea, and CEO Jean-Marc said Pontroué Enjoy it is part of the DNA of the brand.

Roger Dubuis was launched in 1995, making it one of the youngest actors in the Swiss watch industry, which is about 200 years. How to travel so far?

I would say that our company has experienced three major phases. It was launched in 1995. The baby is born. We supported the Richemont Group in 2008, when approached adolescence. And about 20 years of existence, we enter adulthood. There is a certain maturity that is to come.

Certainly, we are young. It is a very young industry horologerie. You can be young when you're in the fashion industry. As the characters come and go in this segment. But we do not live in style. We live in because we have a very strong technical content, which is added to the design. But first, you need technology. If you do not have the engine, you will not be able to watch. And it normally takes a few years to accumulate.

We were lucky, the vision of Mr. (Roger) Dubuis from the first day, and it is always with us in society. He believes complications. He believes in Geneva Hallmark. You know that all our products are of the Geneva Seal. And we are the only company in the world, all of our products 100% seal in Geneva. So if it is good (watch), or a man or a double tourbillon, price or income of diamond studded, all are certified Geneva Seal. What is the origin of the report, because we are not in Switzerland, in Geneva we did. Many companies are behind Swiss Made. We do not.

I was not aware of such a crucial difference between Geneva and Switzerland was made.

Oh yes. We need 40% more time to make every move that would take if we made the same movements as Geneva. As we polish all the parts by hand. It has some of the benefits to the customer, such as Final power reserve, water resistance, and also the difference between the show and, finally, that the products are not Hallmark of Geneva. In addition, we can not lie to our origins. We need all of our employees and headquarters in Geneva. Our head office is located in the center of Geneva, and if it had been 10 km on each side, we would not have Hallmark of Geneva. Again, I want to mention, we're not Swiss, Geneva did.

What separates the Roger Dubuis watch anything else?

I would say that we are one of the absolute in the watch industry. Our average price is around € 25,000. We also have a limited retailers. We are only 170 points of sale everywhere in the world. Many other watchmakers which are unique in their own rights is at least 500-800 outlets. Just to give you an idea, some watchmakers to the mass market can go up to 50,000 points of sale.

In India, we have two offices, each in Delhi and Mumbai. Do we want more? Well, we do not want to grow next three to five years, more outlets. We want to stay in the historic partners and we want to keep the world's major cities. We are not supposed to be in all the cities that can drive our brand, we want to limit as much as possible the distribution of, because we need to find qualified people who can sell these high-end pieces. We do not sell replica watches. We sell a piece of genius that happens to tell time.

And that you need people really qualified to tell the customer why pay up to see it.

So back to the question of what makes Roger Dubuis is different from our competitors, well, we are very well-paid, we are very selective in our approach to the distribution of our products, and we are one of the few brands with strong technical content of design is not normal. Today, if you see the Haute Horlogerie brands, they are all classic, and they are all men. Roger Dubuis believes a stronger technical content and design are identified.

And of course we have the Geneva Seal certification.

And all of these factors have enabled us to be in the market. We do not have a separate brand. There are 700 brands in the industry, and if you want to establish yourself as a brand and not just 701th, you have to give some of the technical issues that are different than the others. It is your identity.
So we have the technical content is also supported by the Geneva Seal, we have a model that is slightly exaggerated to make a strong distinctive from the competition.

In 2008, the Richemont Group acquired a majority stake in Roger Dubuis. And Richemont owns about a dozen luxury watchmakers. Is this the effect is not making any difference?

I would say that there was a twofold effect. One might be interested in a large group when it comes to retail, communications centralizing budgets, negotiating the best places in the world of retail, you name it. And two, when it comes to quality, luxury watches, it is one of the world's most difficult to approach. Why? Since you spend a lot of money off the watch. And the first thing you expect is that it works. And at the same time, the haute Horlogerie complications more you add, the more likely it will not work at all.

If you want to buy a watch safely, you can buy a quartz two years. That you are sure is, and if it's not, throw it away and buy a new one, because it does not cost you anything (as opposed to a mechanical watch).

Richemont is a very large value, and updates the processes in industry. So all 31 of our models, we do to ourselves. And none of Roger Dubuis movements found in other shows, which is different than the general practice in the industry where watchmakers distribute the engine.

In the future, the field is divided into brands that buy parts and manufacture parts. We believe the future of luxury watch brands is that manufacture parts.
Richemont has given us the opportunity to re-industrialization of the 31 meter with us.

Now, there is a large pressure group? Yes. But it makes sense. If they buy the Roger Dubuis brand they have expectations. Then, of course, have to do.

Swiss watchmaking goes high tech

Walking through one of the factories of Rolex Replica, I can not help but be amazed at the large number of manufacturing, processing and assembly of the research is to create a watch. It feels like I was in another car factory, with high-tech equipment and dedicated workers who take Centrestage. Rolex employs over 6,000 people in Switzerland alone, so it is an intrinsic part of the Swiss economy. It is also a watch brand is remembered like no other brand. To get yourself a Rolex watch prestige in the eyes of greedy neighbors.

We were a group of select few had the opportunity to visit three of the four sites Rolex in Geneva. Sandwich Sunny in the morning with a touch of autumn is coming around the interpretation of the long journey ahead. This was the first time one of Rolex Indian journalists invite their factories, and since it is like any other luxury brand watches Swiss like to keep secret his work, this trip was something that fills us all with a sense of anticipation and excitement.

The world of Rolex UK at four locations: the global headquarters of Acacias, making movements in Bienne, casting gold bracelets and cases, les Ouates and creating a plan and set the dials in Chêne-jewel Bourg. Our first stop was at Acacias, where the distinctive green brand logo stands out among the other surrounding buildings. Acacias also where to put the final assembly of these watches takes place. Some of the watches come from the other four locations and trained employees assemble the pieces to create a password, then subjected to rigorous testing of water resistance. After all Oyster watches taken action against one of the best known in the world? I was hoping to see some of the machines do the work in an assembly-style controller, but I was pleasantly surprised by the presence of workers at all stages of the process. This trend of robotics are used only when absolutely necessary, is followed in all areas of Rolex. As far as possible, people use to create their replica watches, and only come in testing machines, alloy, transport and other mechanical functions. Quick hands and agile pieces falling into place. A twist here, a brush and the final product ready to be tested, boxed and shipped to retailers worldwide. Even placing a handmade box, so that you will know that your watch someone's attention.

The next stop was the Plan-les-Ouates, when all he saw, or choose to view the gold! This site hosts a foundry when Rolex create own materials as Everose and other alloys. Ovens hot drops of liquid gold poured down enough. Men Butch hammering in creating gold bars or logs sheets and then cut case bracelet links. Again, the man's hand touched all aspects of the process. Moreover because a large amount of research to create the alloy. Where else can you see a side stand a PhD in Chemistry or sit next material scientist from melting? More like a vision of steroids lab young watchmaker atelier picturesque, this place was by far one of the most interesting. Grapes grow on vines on the scene helped add to the charm too.

But, of course, the highlight of my trip was the visit to Chêne-Bourg, Rolex brand created, and the process of jewel on the entire property. This year at Baselworld, we move to the new line Cosmograph Daytona gemset rainbow. Here, I have to see the gemsetters work on it, but with the precision and commitment of the Rolex name. Edited sapphires, diamonds, rubies and other precious stones using different criteria and in perfect order and adjust the dial. The selection process can be automated, but the site can only be done by hand to produce the desired effect. "Oohs" and "Aahs" toured the group as we watched the smooth model gemsetter the dial to adjust the brilliant baguettes. Highly qualified and well-trained and well-trained employees Rolex is the brand that it is today.

The focus on people extends the brand in other areas as well. Aside from the Rolex Learning Center at EPFL when students together in the fluid space learned from experience, the Rolex Awards for Enterprise are another important extension of the brand. Since 1976, the Rolex Awards for people around the world for companies in various fields, with a focus on helping society as a whole. Each award is given to companies, whether new or ongoing project review by a panel of leadership potential impact and practicality. People in the areas of Applied Technology, cultural heritage, the environment, Exploration and Discovery and Science and apply for Health, and the figures show that the number of participants to increase exponentially in recent years. Every two years, the awards, and this year, which will be held in India. So watch lovers and humanists alike something to look forward in November. Rolex Awards provides grants of 100,000 Swiss francs for each of the selected five Nobel. The presentation will also get to work on the project with past winners and jurors, to help you reach your goal. It extends Rolex philosophy of creating stories through everything he does.

Tech Tock: Cartier, the luxury of the crisis, and ID Two clock concept

Everyone loves the stories and history of luxury base is remarkably constant: crafts, return the preservation of traditional knowledge, continuity in the method, if possible, for decades (When he gets older, c ' is even better) If you have a luxury brand you mess with this story definition at their own risk. This is true for all luxury brands, but personally I think it is mostly for luxury watchmakers. The strand is that the hand of man working at a scale almost supernatural tiny wonders of skills. In what seems at his best as a miniature universe for centuries, the magic of the watch was to comment on brass, steel and jewelry used as storage for gear, and they take small pieces of art that seemed to even the pulse of the universe itself.

Burst quartz replica watches in this elegant air like a bull in a china shop, but the truth is, until 1969, when Seiko was the first quartz clock for sale on Christmas Day had more high-tech watch has been for years. Post-quartz, mechanical watches is kept alive by re-imagining themselves regardless executed a set of luxury even if it is a business, the cynic will more than respect, truth, a disproportionate number stores of luxury watches is always the appointment of the amount of hand assembly and hand finishing, which is a true high-end clock is impressive, and the techniques are often those who like a watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet, whose clients are people like Marie Antoinette would have immediately recognized.

That is why for concept Cartier replica watches are inspiring and disturbing.

How can you make the most accurate mechanical clock from a blank sheet of paper: Now, ID and the ID One concept watch two following questions Cartier crack development team (led by Carole Forestier remarkable) is a simple question? To understand how they came up with the answers she made id is a two-time measure and nothing less than himself understood.

A watch or clock is essentially a simple thing. It is a word oscillator, a pendulum, which suggests a number of times per second. This is a power supply that the pendulum a push, so it does not vibrate to stop. It's a funny thing called inhibition into account both the number of beats, and provides the impetus for a time, and there are gears that turn the hands display the time.

For this to work, you need an oscillator that is always hit exactly the same number of times per second, no matter what. Maintain an ideal would have the same rate regardless of fluctuations in the power supply, temperature, air pressure, magnetic fields or other disturbing influences. A pendulum works very well for some reason not even understand simple but important: gravity always tried to come up with a force exactly proportional to how much you push to relax. This means that when there are power fluctuations, a pendulum is still shut.

Now, this is all theory, and the theory is fine, but what happened in reality, not so easy. Changing the length of the pendulum rod when the temperature changes; watch with this through the use of special alloys, temperature invariant vibration from external sources, a shuttle disrupt the rate of treaties (. A is the so- called great, logically, Invar) watchmakers addresses the problem of physical their clocks isolated from the outside world, often built underground, temperature controlled room on a solid foundation. Changes in air pressure, the influence of exchange rate could drag a pendulum clock set their watch in the huge vacuum cylinder.

The results were good. Damn Good. The best clocks has never been long forgotten memory Shortt clocks and grandchildren Synchrome, swung in a pendulum with Invar 14 pounds inside a vacuum tank copper. Built between 1920-1940, they were almost incredibly precise, were the best with an accuracy of about one second every 12 years.

Now the problem is of course that one. Shortt no clock on your wrist The big difference is that the clock can not be physically isolated and immobilized. A pendulum in a wristwatch is a stupid idea obviously (at least, dear reader, I hope it is clear), watchmakers have therefore, in the last centuries, uses a circular equilibrium. Inhibition of the balance is a shock, and a helical spring (spiral or equilibrium), which is fixed to the hub of the scale represents the force of gravity. As a mathematically perfect spring does not have exactly the same weight, that is to push as hard as it has grown, and with the mass balance, make a natural resonant frequency of the oscillator, clock, in theory, should keep time and best grandfather clock.

Ah, the theory, we hardly knew you. Shaken by the shock, affected by gravity, and the balance to the difference of gravity vulnerable to fluctuations in the strength of the temperature, magnetism, aging and thousands of other natural disasters of the clock is the legacy of poor show even the best mechanical wrist watch is a damn fine specimen indeed, if it can hold both considered in a few seconds per day. So this is the problem: how do you get your wrist? And how should we try to do an identity crisis in the watch?

Today, having a vintage watch on the wrist has become a status symbol in Hollywood caste to which the possession of a Gulfstream not used. In a world where the past flies iPhone disposable in radios, each year, more players can see antique replica watches uk as pieces of history, combining expertise, value and undeniable charm men (some coveted collectibles were popularized by James Bond, Steve McQueen and Paul Newman).

At the top of the list are sporting Rolex Vintage Collection dress and Patek Philippi, some of which are beyond the real estate and stocks as investments in recent years. A large stainless steel Rolex chronograph in 1942 sold at auction for $ 1.16 million in 2011. Tickers prices even more recent vintage drawing high: Rare 18K pink gold Patek, dating from 1997 auction only scored $ 452,000 in June.

Rolex is the largest brand of mechanical watches (sold 1 million watches a year), was founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland in 1915 by the watchmaker Hans Wilsdorf and importer, is now owned by the Foundation Wilsdorf. Under Swiss law, the Foundation does not even have to publish detailed annual accounts, but installation adds to the mystique of the brand and its stability. Nobody expects the Rolex change much. This is the "widows and orphans" investment in the world of watchmaking. Its appearance is the same as the non-working propeller Submariner 1973 Roger Moore wore in Live and Let Die - the movement was removed and replaced by small circular screws that Moore could cut through the ropes - sold for $ 231,800 in Christie in November 2011.

Only a strong competition in the market for vintage Rolex, Patek, has a more glorious history. The brand was founded in 1839 in Geneva, and the first engineering models keyless winding finely chiseled by hand and parameters. "Its business model is based on the most exclusive watches and fine craft intelligent front sports models," says Josh Briest Philippe Watches of Beverly Hills, whose clients include Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock.

HISTORY: Don Cheadle: Man of the Hour

Among the top watch collectors Hollywood include Eric Clapton, Adam Levine, Charlie Sheen (which instructs the advice of his agent Robert Maron private shows, made him a co-executive producer of anger management) and Orlando Bloom (including my Rolex has been the target of thieves Bling Ring in 2009). Singer John Mayer is said to have one of the world's largest collections of Rolex Daytona (right emblematic of pilots) and writes a column for casual Hodinkee a control site watch industry gathering age. Mayer - says Ken Jacobs, owner of Melrose Avenue wants to buy a watch - "is so advanced, it is to be a collector of baseball cards."

Actresses and executives are just as likely to jump in collecting vintage, Ellen DeGeneres Jennifer Aniston. "The whole" I'm wearing the watch for my boyfriend look is fashionable, making collection of vintage watches very favorable for the buyer notified of women, "said Briest." Old Art Deco clocks ornamental and stylistic elements inherent in time are also considered desirable. "Briest UTA partner Tracey Jacobs cites as an avid collector who has dozens of vintage pieces Rolex and Patek Philippe.

Many vintage models achieve iconic Old Hollywood style, and has captured wearing a appears to be a dependency. Ken Jacobs provides vintage Rolex as the greatest of his tent. "Clocks" actor "were nicknamed by collectors and not the names given by Rolex 's popularity Number one is a Paul Newman, racing clock used to measure lap times , the number two is the Steve McQueen Explorer in the price range of $ 15,000 to 20,000, and the third is a Submariner James Bond Sean Connery wore in Dr. No which can sell for any where from $ 15,000 to $ 50,000. "

Jeffrey Hess Jewelers has Old Fort Lauderdale, Florida, handles the old site shows Hess Fine Arts and is the author of Rolex: The unauthorized story. Hess cites two reasons for the popularity of the brand Rolex. "Basically, they are indestructible. 20 years in the 70s, were at the forefront of watch design, and have a lot of variations that collectors love. Finally, they changed their designs over the years, making obsolete the old material collection and suddenly in the eyes of many people. '

HISTORY: UTA David Park: The Watch Whisperer

What is the cost of buying a vintage Rolex? According to Hess, "You can buy a ticket at 1980 GMT Master if in poor condition, restore, for $ 2,000 to $ 3,000, but some versions have the box and papers are near mint can cost more than $ 10,000 or $ 20,000. "Restoration can be problematic:. The parts can be scarce, and the process itself can reduce the value of the watch "This is a hotly contested discussion among collectors," says Hess. "Many believe that the watch is not affordable unless 100 percent original , but a good 80 percent of pre-1980 watches have a role or two that has been taken from another Rolex Rolex or even can not be. " The end result: you will pay less for a Rolex restored, but take a hit in the long-term value. "The clock is always collected, just do not expect a higher return on investment," says Hess.

With Patek Philippe Hess advise buying the best you can afford. "Although this is an entry level Patek Philippe, probably hold their value better than any other watch on the planet." He also cites pre-Cartier 60 years as a good bet for novice collectors.

A sample list Maron counselor vintage shop in Thousand Oaks, California, specializing in Rolex and Patek. His philosophy of losing a lot of money for a watch: "You can drive a Ferrari, but you can manage in a restaurant you can hang a beautiful Warhol on your wall, but do not sit on the wrist. During a business meeting or dinner at Madeo. "

HISTORY: What goes in a wristwatch $ 100,000

Maron clients include Mayer and Bloom, but that his client is probably the most faithful Sheen, a collector for more than a decade. "Sheen is an avid collector of vintage and modern recently Patek Philippe replica watches Complicated - his collection is world class," said Maron Two and a Half Men producer Mark Burg is also a collector is that the. reality star Rob Dyrdek. Maron adds that "Jennifer Aniston has a keen sense of the beautiful and modern vintage Rolex" and "Alec Baldwin and unique custom picks Bamford PVD Rolex watches" personalized London George Bamford.

Burg has about a dozen watches - all bought Pateks Maron. "He is very knowledgeable," says Burg. "Every time you buy one, he calls me and asks me if I want to sell it back to him for more money." Burg is the philosophy that if you buy the right watch, that will only increase in value, and he always listens to purchase Maron. "I was surprised when I started collecting, but I've learned to trust Him. Each watch told me to buy a year later, he called me and offered 20 to 25 percent more for it" confirms Maron. "Sold a Patek 5970G by Marcos $ 85,000 when he left around 2005. bought for $ 120,000 a year later. "

Maron credit for the upturn in the economy to generate interest. "We found that shoppers spend upperechelon new with cars, art and watches. You can pick up a Rolex Ref. 1655" Steve McQueen "for $ 4,500 to $ 6,000 10 years ago, and now sell for $ 15,000 to $ 20,000 . I sold an uncle in the business of technology Paul Newman Daytona 16 for $ 9000-16000 each during the period 1996-1999, totaling $ 190,000. He sold them to me 10 years later for $ 1.04 million. "Maron has 20 customers who bought as an investment when they received a bonus.

HISTORY: Tyler Florence makes the deadline

Hess has a saying for new collectors: "Make sure you buy or trust your dealer. Find two or three who trust you and stick to it, or buy at auction .. If you shop at Sotheby or Christie, 99 of 100 times, you'll be fine ", Briest said:" You buy the seller, as shown. many fake versions are Frankenstein and there that have been put together after the market. '

For all the hype and celebrity intrigue, vintage collection is down to the fact that brands rely make watches that stand the test of time. No wonder Hollywood players, accustomed to the vagaries of the box office, find time for something as dignified and sustainable as a clock tree.
