Zac Efron Knows Arm Accessories

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

Zac Efron just called eRelyx.*  Wow!  He is upset that I haven’t blogged about him yet.  When I blogged about Taylor Lautner and Justin Bieber, Efron was willing to let it slide.  He thought to himself, “Those guys are me a few years ago.”

Then eRelyx dropped blogs about Justin Timberlake and Tom Cruise.  Efron couldn’t sit on the sidelines.  ”What about me?  You can’t go from Lautner and Bieber straight to JT and TC!  Surely you should have blogged about me somewhere in the middle.”

Zac – you’re right.  In the world of superstardom, you sit between Lautner/Bieber and Timberlake/Cruise (incidentally, how many women do you think would die to sit in between those four?).  I honestly wanted to blog about you the other day, but you showed up to your Charlie St. Cloud premier in a suit.  I couldn’t see your watch.

But then I realized that you have amazing taste in arm accessories**, so you must be wearing a killer Rolex, Breitling, Panerai, or IWC watch.  How do I know you have good taste?  Because you showed up with Vanessa Hudgens*** on your arm.  No one would have noticed your watch anyway.

Notes: *No he didn’t.  **Ladies – do not get mad at me.  You are amazing.  It was just a metaphor.  ***Vanessa – still no word from Aniston.  Email me.

Everybody Jump Up and Down – Tom Cruise Loves Watches

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

The eRelyx blog has had a good 24 hours – First, Justin Timberlake is spotted wearing a luxury watch while filming his new movie, “Friends with Benefits.”  Then Tom Cruise shows up for the London Premier of his new movie, Knight and Day.  The eRelyx servers might explode!  They are bound to generate more traffic than the old roadside bikini-clad hot dog vendors down in Florida.  Check out the pics (of Tom Cruise – not bikini clad hot dog vendors – sorry).

It’s tough to say exactly what he’s wearing – the pictures are a bit too small.  However, there are all sorts of reports circulating that Cruise has a couple of favorite watches that he wears often – they are a Bremont ALT1-C watch and an IWC Ingenieur Automatic Vintage watch. It doesn’t look like he’s wearing either of those in these photos.

One thing is clear – Tom Cruise loves luxury watches!

Holly Madison’s Favorite Accessory

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

What accessory of Holly Madison’s looks good with any outfit?  What accessory does she refuse to leave her home without?  What accessory of hers do I notice in every single photo of her?  See if you can guess by checking out these photos from a Sugar Factory promotional event in Las Vegas on July 20th:

Her Gucci watch, of course (you should know this – I’ve already blogged about it).  Holly wears that watch constantly – I’m beginning to think that it has serious sentimental value. Not that it isn’t a great, classic watch, but most celebrities have a drawer full of luxury timepieces (yeah, I called it a timepiece – so what?).

You heard it here first – if eRelyx makes it big, I am going to buy Holly a new watch.  It’s pretty obvious which watch suits her personality – a white ceramic Chanel J12.*

*Note: Holly must first agree to wear that watch to a significant number of photographed events and tell everyone that eRelyx gave it to her.  AND, eRelyx is in charge of defining, “make it big.”

Justin Timberlake Rocks Your Body…and a Hot Watch

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

It was only a matter of time before I blogged about Justin Timberlake.  My blogs about Justin Bieber and Taylor Lautner were just warm-ups.  Sure, those guys are huge stars.  But they are not JT.  JT is a mega-star.

Singing?  Please.  Celine Dion and Josh Groban are jealous.

Dancing?  He cuts rugs when he walks on them.  That’s how dangerous his feet are.

Acting?  Well let me tell you this  - I met him once, and he acted like he didn’t care.  Epic performance.

Dating?  Jessica Biel.

And he wears an amazing luxury watch.  Unfortunately the photos are too small to figure out what kind it is.  Maybe a Breitling.  I’ll have to do more research.  Check him out on the set of his new movie, “Friends with Benefits”, which is filming in Central Park in New York City. (It will probably generate more revenue than Titanic and Avatar.  Combined.)

BTW – I almost forgot to mention that Mila Kunis is in one of those photos with him.  She’s unbelievably good looking and I hardly noticed.  That’s the power of JT.

PS – I just bought a skinny tie, a tie bar, and silver rectangular belt buckle.

Entourage Season 7, Episode 3

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

Another week, another episode of Entourage.  Have my tastes changed?  Are my expectations too high?  Entourage used to be my favorite show.  After the first three episodes, it’s somewhere near the middle of the pack.  Hopefully the excitement picks up soon.

If nothing else, the show is consistent.  As you know, we can always expect a healthy dose of cars, gadgets, girls and watches…oh, and product placements.

This week the cars were upstaged by a motorcycle.  The new, wilder Vince purchased a hot Harley Davidson Cross Bones.

It was a slow week for gadgets.  We saw plenty of blackberries as usual.  It will be interesting to see how soon the iPad makes an appearance.  The one must have gadget that caught my eye this week was the Bang and Olufsen BeoSound 9000 speaker system in Ari’s office.  I’m not sure about the sound quality, but the system is definitely a looker.

Episode 3 didn’t disappoint in the lady department.  A party with girls in bikinis / lingerie.  Truth or dare.  Girls kissing.  I can’t believe that I’m saying this – it’s getting a bit tired.  Am I wrong?  What was nice to see was larger roles from regulars Perrey Reeves and Emmanuelle Chriqui.

There was also a new “it” girl for the episode.  Taylor Cole plays the auction saleswoman and truth or dare all-star.  It’s unclear whether or not she’ll make another appearance.

A new watch also made an appearance this week.  E was rocking an Audemars Piguet.  It was tough to tell if it was a Dual Time or Power Reserve Indicator.  Regardless – it’s expensive and it’s hot.  (As a side note, I want to give a shout-out to the marketing execs over at Audemars Piguet.  They understand celebrity marketing.  The brand is already a star, but it’s on the rise).

When Did You Know?

Monday, July 19th, 2010

People are always* asking me, “Greg, when did you know that you wanted to be a businessman?”

I think this photo from the first day of my freshman year in high school** narrows it down – it was before the first day of my freshman year in high school.

Notes:  * Never  ** No idea when it’s from

John Randle – Sack Master and Watch Lover

Monday, July 19th, 2010

When I talk to friends, colleagues, and facebook fans about eRelyx, many of them have the same comment – “I never used to notice people’s watches.  Now I always notice them.”

Phew.  The brain-washing is working.  Hopefully everyone starts noticing watches, develops a love of watches, and then purchases one (or many) on eRelyx.

A friend from Minnesota recently sent me a picture of former Viking football star John Randle. Here’s what he had to say:  I was watching a local sports show this weekend and thought of you when HOFamer John Randle was interviewed. He had on a watch the size of Rhode Island.


He’s not kidding!  John Randle is about 6’1″, 290 pounds.  That watch probably weighs 10 pounds (okay, maybe not).  I might be able to wear that as a belt.  And if I went swimming with that watch on, I’d drown.

If you see a celebrity wearing a great watch, let me know (and send a pic if you can).  I’ll do my best to blog about it.

John Mayer Loves Watches

Friday, July 16th, 2010

I don’t know John Mayer personally, but thanks to the tabloids and paparazzi, I know a lot about him.

For example, I know what John Mayer loves.  (John, after you read this, let us know if you disagree.  If you don’t comment, then we’ll just assume that my analysis is spot on)

John loves:

1. Music.  Well that’s obvious since he’s a musician.

2. Beautiful women.  Well that’s obvious since he has dated the likes of Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Aniston (eRelyx has asked Jennifer to be our spokeswoman).

3. Watches.  Check out his collection of watches which includes a Rolex Submariner or Sea Dweller, a Cartier Pasha, and an IWC Big Pilot.

John doesn’t just love buying watches for himself – he enjoys buying them for his girlfriends as well.  According to many news sources, John has given Cartier and Rolex watches to both Jessica and Jennifer.  So it’s painfully obvious – John Mayer loves watches.

And speaking of painfully obvious, while writing this article, I was able to uncover a couple of other things that John loves:

4. Tattoos.

5. Experimenting with hair length.

Again, I want to re-iterate that I do not know John Mayer personally (despite such an accurate, in-depth understanding of what he loves).

Recap of 2010 ESPY Awards

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

Last night, Los Angeles hosted the 2010 ESPY Awards – or, as most people like to call the event, the Watch Watching Super Bowl. Athletes and entertainers in one place at the same time. Jackpot.

The event did not disappoint. There were some great luxury watches on display. As I watched the event, I got excited thinking about all of the great watch pictures that my photo agency would surely capture. Boy was I disappointed this morning. All they got were pictures like this:

It’s like they don’t even know what us guys want to see. We want to see luxury watches. Naturally, I was prepared. I sent my trusty photographer, B. Berry, to the event to take pictures of the hottest watches of the night. Berry did not disappoint. He took these great images of Jeremy Shockey and Evan Longoria wearing jaw-dropping wrist clocks. Check them out:

Those guys don’t walk into the local watch store and pick up any old Rolex, Panerai, IWC, or Zenith. They hunt around for something unique and expensive. That way, no one will show up wearing the same watch (embarrassing). I can’t tell you what brands they’re wearing, but I can assure you that those watches are expensive.

Update to Entourage Episode 2 Post

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

It seems as though I owe someone an apology.

As many of you know, I like to blog about the cars, gadgets, watches, and girls on Entourage.  I try to be as thorough as possible, but sometimes I don’t catch everything.  The cars often drive by too quickly…the watches are often tucked underneath sleeves (CEO Shirt, anyone?)…the girls are too numerous to keep track of…etc.

Well, in my first post about Episode 2, I completely dropped the ball.  I failed to profile one of the most talked about women on the episode – Cindy, the dancer who offers to entertain Drama. Cindy is played by the beautiful (and cool) Marissa Caprielian – a model and actress from California.  So Marissa, I apologize.  Hopefully we’ll see you in future episodes!

I exchanged emails with Marissa and she wanted to pass along two messages:

1. She’s in the running for Maxim’s Hometown Hotties and would love your support!  Please vote for her here.  You can only vote once a day and voting closes on August 1st.  (Let’s get her into the finals!!)

2. She’s in the market for a new luxury watch.  She wants to know what brand should she get. Cartier? Bedat? Patek Philippe?  Let her know in the comments section of this blog.

Thanks everyone.  And sorry, Marissa, for my terrible oversight!
