Jennifer Aniston showed up to the LA Premiere of Wanderlust looking as beautiful as ever. However, she made me cry a little bit. Do you see why?
Bracelets on both arms. No watch. What?!?! How could you do that to us? You have so many amazing watches. Bracelets look great. But watches look great and tell time. Therefore watches are superior to bracelets.
Dear Jennifer – please wear a watch to your next red carpet event.
Presidents weekend was busy in Tinseltown with one celeb-studded event after another, and we were happy to catch a glimpse of more than a few watches in the process. Check out Hip-Hop artist Flo Rida (in nerd glasses!), Atlanta Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez, international soccer superstar David Beckham, and fashion designer (and former MTV reality star) Whitney Port- all rocking some high-end wrist-wear:
We’re getting warmed up for 2012 eRelyx Watch Madness. Don’t know what we’re talking about? Check out this image – 2011 eRelyx Watch Madness. You’ll get the idea.
Before the tourney gets underway, we will have a “Brand Battle” here and there. Today’s battle – Panerai vs. Breitling. If you had to chose one brand, which one would it be?
Every once in a while we browse the competition’s websites to check on pricing or to find an amazing deal.
And occasionally we stumble across some interesting listings. Case in point, the listing below. Check out the screen shots – these are actual photos from an online watch retailer.
Cute little guy…or girl…not sure. Click on the images for larger versions.
Recording star Ne-Yo showed up to the Los Angeles premier of “Think Like a Man” wearing a great looking watch. The problem is that we can’t identify it! We thought is might be a black dial Rolex Milgauss, but then we caught glimpse of the black inserts on the bracelet. We’re stumped. Any ideas?
CNN Money recently published an article listing the Top 10 Counterfeit Goods seized by US officials in 2010. It’s no surprise that watches made the list, coming in at number seven.
According to the article, in 2010, US officials seized $8.4MM worth of fake watches with a retail value of $112.7MM. Let’s say that the average fake watch sells for $50 – that means that 250 million fake watches were seized. That’s almost enough watches to outfit every man, woman, and child in the US. I think that provides a little justification for our business, wouldn’t you say? Even more scary – the fakes are getting better and better.
Here is the text from the article:
Watches are the classic counterfeit — and they are also among the trickiest for even connoisseurs to spot.
Lesser materials and cheap inner workings used to be obvious in a watch that feels lighter and doesn’t work as well as the real thing, but “modern technology allows counterfeiters to reproduce watches at a level of detail that’s frightening,” noted Michael Friedman, watch expert and horological director of Antiquorum auction house.
One of the best ways to make sure a timepiece is legitimate is to examine the box and certificate to see if the serial numbers on the accompanying material match up, Friedman advised.
Last we checked, Diane Kruger was dating Joshua Jackson, but is it possible the German beauty has another, very public, love? Well, yes, but its not what you think. The love we’re referring to is a watch! (Seriously, are you surprised?) And not just any watch- a Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso, to be exact.
In 2009, Kruger was named a brand ambassador for Jaeger-LeCoultre, and specifically helped debut the watch manufacturer’s new Grande Reverso Lady Ultra Thin model.
If we didn’t already love the Reverso watch line, we’d definitely want one after seeing the gorgeous Kruger in one. Conversely, if we didn’t already love Diane Kruger, we’d definitely love her for how often she’s spotted on the press circuit & red carpets wearing her JLC watches.
There really is no better story to share this Valentine’s Day than that of the love affair between a beautiful Hollywood starlet and her luxury watch.
