Cee Lo Wears A Wall Clock On His Wrist

Tuesday, January 18th, 2011

Anyone else watch NBC this weekend?  There were a couple of amazing watch sitings.

Did anyone else see Cee Lo’s “wrist clock” on Saturday Night Live?  He may have stolen that from around Flava Flav’s neck.  Talk about large.  Click on the thumbnail for larger images.  Anyone know what brand that is?

LL Cool J’s watch choice during the Golden Globes was relatively subtle – although it’s hard to believe that we’re calling a diamond encrusted Audemars Piguet watch subtle.

No Golden Globe? No Problem.

Tuesday, January 18th, 2011

Our loyal blog-readers will know that eRelyx has a love affair with the lovely Sofia Vergara aka Gloria from the ABC stand-out comedy series Modern Family, who was unfairly robbed of a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. Sofia, if you’re reading this, you’d get our vote for the eRelyx “Best Watch-Wearing Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series” Golden Globe.

The Golden Globes this Sunday marks the beginning of Awards season- which is like a second Christmas for the celebrity & fashion-obsessed (yes, I am referring to myself) viewer. And, it means we will be on extra-high-alert to see what’s on the wrists of our favorite Hollywood stars and starlets

While she may have gone watch-less at the weekends’ award ceremonies (grrr- why Sofia, why!?)… we cant argue that she looked pretty amazing. We forgave her anyway as soon as we uncovered these images of her during a weekend shopping trip in Beverly Hills, with, none other than her old standby, the classic gold Cartier Ballon Bleu.

“Wes Welker” Wears eRelyx Hat?

Monday, January 17th, 2011

Yesterday was a rough day for Patriots fans.  The team never got into gear.

The loss was a double-whammy for all of us over at eRelyx HQ.   Our favorite team lost AND Wes Welker will be doing fewer interviews since his team was eliminated.  That means we’re less likely to see Wes wearing his eRelyx hat on national TV.  (As our loyal blog readers know, we are trying to get Wes to wear our hat during interviews, around town, etc.  Check out our letter to Wes here)

Don’t worry…we have a back-up plan.  Check it out.  (If this doesn’t sell watches, I don’t know what will!)

A Little Watch Humor

Wednesday, January 12th, 2011

All of us at eRelyx love watches.  We’ll tell anyone that will listen that buying expensive watches is a great investment and an exciting hobby. But we also understand that not everyone wants to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on watches.  So, we can appreciate a good-natured ribbing.  That’s exactly what we’re receiving through the reviews of a Bregeut Tourbillon watch on Amazon – which was $118,000 + $9.95 for shipping.

Check out the live page here and browse through the reviews.  See – luxury CAN have a sense of humor.

(Thanks to loyal eRelyx blog reader A.L. for sending this our way.  And thanks to the original blogger – Jenna @ Stoollala.  Well done, Jenna!)

Just in case the site is pulled, we took screen captures of some of the reviews – check them out below.  Click on them for larger versions.

Reality TV Couples Watch

Monday, January 10th, 2011

Last week we blogged about E! Reality TV sweethearts Kendra and Hank being our eRelyx spokes-couple. Looks like another pair of E! Reality TV lovers are giving them a run for their money.

On-again-off-again couple, Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick, were both sporting oversized gold watches while at lunch together during a recent episode of the E! hit Keeping Up with the Kardashians. We identified hers as a Rolex, meanwhile Scott (in classic Scott Disick fashion) identified his Audemars Piguet to audiences everywhere as “this $90,000 house I’ve got on my wrist.”

And so, eRelyx brings you the watches of Kourtney & Scott, just in time for the premiere of Kourtney’s newest show- Kourtney & Kim Take New York! which debuts January 23.
