Awkward Watch Poses

Tuesday, October 12th, 2010

One of the things you realize when you read lots of watch magazines is that people often strike funny poses in order to properly show off their watch.  It kind of makes sense – under natural circumstances, a watch spends most of its time under a shirt sleeve or next to a crotch.  Neither of which are great places for a watch.  (Go ahead – stand up and put your arms to your side.  See what I’m saying?)

So, when Jerry O’Connell was paid to rock a Technomarine watch at a Vegas magazine party, he had to get all awkward on us to show off the watch.  He did get creative – check out the boxer pose.  I’ve never seen that one out of an actor.

BTW – I bet Technomarine was upset that Rebecca Romijn was there.  Like anyone is going to notice what’s on his left arm (aside from me and you).  Click on the thumbnails for larger images.

Audemars Piguet Won’t Go Quietly

Friday, October 8th, 2010

As all of you know, there’s a fierce trend battle going on in Hollywood – it’s nerd glasses versus Audemars Piguet watches.  The battle has been back and forth.  You’ve got heavy hitters like Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher wearing nerd glasses.

But…you’ve got heavy hitters like Jay-Z wearing Audemars Piguet.

Then you’ve got mega-stars like Justin Timberlake wearing BOTH!

Of late, it seems like that nerd glasses have been gaining momentum.  But not so fast – young recording artist Trey Songz was recently spotted wearing an Audemars Piguet watch.

So, the battle lives on another day!  (Let’s be honest – the nerd glasses may stick around for a while, but the Audemars Piguet watches will be here forever).

It’s Almost Time for NBA Basketball

Thursday, October 7th, 2010

The baseball playoffs have started.  The NHL season is underway.  That means that it’s almost time for NBA basketball.  And you know what that means – lots of tall guys in luxury watches.

NBA players love fancy luxury watches.  Check out Pau Gasol on a recent trip to Barcelona to promote the LA Lakers.  Even he’s wearing a huge luxury watch.

Pardon me if I sound surprised, but he doesn’t strike me as someone who’s into fashion. Maybe I’m wrong.  However, it’s not like he walks around dressed to the nines like LeBron James or Dwayne Wade.  It’s not surprising to see those guys in Audemars Piguet watches and the like.

BTW – does anyone know what kind of watch Pau is wearing?  We’ll have to look into it – it’s an interesting shape!

BTW 2: Good call on the haircut, Pau

BTW 3: Go Celtics!

BET Hip Hop Awards or Custom Watch Convention?

Monday, October 4th, 2010

A few months ago I called the 2010 ESPYs the “Watch Watching Super Bowl” (click here). Giving the event that title was a bit pre-mature.  Turns out that the ESPYs are more like a Conference Championship game.  The BET Hip Hop Awards are really the “Watch Watching Super Bowl.”  Although there were only a few of the standard luxury brands like Rolex, Cartier, and Audemars Piguet, there were plenty of huge custom creations with plenty of icing.

Check out a sampling of the photos from last week’s event in Atlanta, Georgia.

BTW – is is Juelz doing what I think he’s doing?

More Proof That Nerds Rule the World

Monday, October 4th, 2010

Justin Timberlake showed up to the Paris premier of The Social Network rocking his favorite pair of nerd glasses.  I assume that he’s also wearing an Audemars Piguet watch, but it’s pretty obvious – nerd glasses are now the favorite accessory of many of Hollywood’s stars.

So nerds out there rejoice – the spotlight is yours.  (Lay off the white tape in the middle though – no stars are going that far).

And btw…I did take a bunch of computer science and math courses in college…and I did well.  So, I’m a nerd too.

Desperate for a Hublot

Friday, October 1st, 2010

Jesse Metcalfe, the world’s most envied landscaper, rolled into the NYC premier of Life As We Know It rocking a Hublot Big Bang.  His watch selection is just further proof that he has amazing taste.  First it was Eva Longoria on Desperate Housewives and now it’s a Hublot Big Bang Black Ceramic.  Click on the thumbnails for larger images.

Keep up the great work Jesse – can’t wait to see what you have in store next.
