Louis Vuitton Monogram Roses Stole

Louis Vuitton Monogram Roses StoleOur friend Marc Jacobs sure does love to court trouble. He overshares about his personal life,Thank you for the good writeup, tattoos random things on his body, and dates more men that most college sorority girls (don’t take offense, ladies – I, too,leather handbag wholesale, was a college sorority girl). And ever since Mr. Marc took over as the creative head of Louis Vuitton, their yearly accessories collections have become hipper, younger, and dare I say, edgier. As a throwback to the Stephen Sprouse graffiti collection of years past, Sprouse’s artwork has been used to adorn handbags,wholesale leather handbag, scarves, sarongs, and various small accessories for 2009.

Sprouse was a pop artist and punk icon of the 1980s, and the loud colors and louder shapes of his work reflect the exuberance of youth culture during that decade. I adored the leopard print Sprouse scarf that made such a big impression last year, and in this year’s full collection of the artist’s inspired work, my favorite is, again, a scarf – The Louis Vuitton Monogram Roses Stole. It’s bright pink and red with huge pop art roses, and it makes me smile just looking at it. It takes a talented man to make a floral print into something edgy and punk, don’t you think? Some people love this stuff, and some people hate it, but our own Louis Vuitton forum proves that everyone loves to talk about it – and that seems to be Marc Jacobs’s entire intention.

Rolex Submariner 16613

Rolex Subariner 16613

Rolex Submariner 16613

In 2008, Rolex introduced a new Submariner in all white gold (with blue dial and bezel), ref. 116619. This year,The Be & D Barclay Tote goes camouflage, Rolex introduced the gold/steel (Rolesor) model of the Submariner in both black and blue dial versions at BaselWorld 2009. These are respectively the ref. 116613LN and ref.116613LB models (Ariel of aBlogToRead.com did nice coverage on them).

When the GMT-Master 116713 and 116710 were introduced a few years ago, I remember a sudden short price drop of its predecessors (ref.16710/16713). Perhaps this is the time to keep an eye on the current/former models of the Rolesor Submariner models (ref.16613).

Since a few weeks, I am wearing a Submariner 16613. Once in a while,swiss replica rolex watch, there is this opportunity to temporarily swap a watch for a while with another watch adept. This time, I swapped my Yacht-Master for this bicolor Submariner with someone from the Dutch Rolex forum.

I never received so much comments (both negative and positive) on a wrist watch. Also by non-watch enthusiasts, these so-called ‘evil outsiders’ we all know. I also witnessed that several people were staring at this ‘Clown’ watch,watch replica, as it is being called on the several Rolex forums. Maybe it’s due to the gold, or the blue dial, but this watch looks much bigger than my other Oyster Professional models like the GMT-II 16710 and Yacht-Master 16622. The Sea-Dweller I have looks smaller anyway, because the smaller diameter of its dial.

The combination of the blue dial, blue and gold bezel, gold crown and gold center links makes this a real ‘in your face’ Rolex. I discovered that I am more the stainless steel Rolex kind of guy, with a small exception for the platina bezel & dial combo of the Yacht-Master. That’s wild enough for me I guess If the dial and bezel color were a bit more toned down, I could probably handle one of these gold/steel (Rolesor) combinations myself. Perhaps a brown dialed Rolex GMT-Master ref.16713 (or vintage 1675/8) would suit me better.

The picture above does not include the original box of the 16613 Submariner, but I needed a nice background for the watch when taking a picture from the top.

Anyway, you should be keeping an eye on these models if you are in for some bicolor Rolex this summer! My friends from Lex-Watches have a used one up for sale for 3850 euro. PrecisionWatches has a unused 2008 model for 5300 euro. The list price of these gold/steel Rolex Submariner ref.16613 model is 7200 euro, but they are bound to leave the catalogue soon…

Louis Vuitton Sac De Nuit

Louis Vuitton Sac De Nuit Toile TrianonI’ve said it before, and I am saying it again. I despise LV’s traditional monogram canvas. I don’t find anything pretty about it, and all the canvases that derived from it over the years look like Takashi himself puked his guts out on them… multicolore,rolex submariner replica, panda, cerises, you name them. Me no likes. But that doesn’t mean that Louis Vuitton can not create bags that my eyes feast on.

The recent ostrich-trimmed Toile Trianon collection was introduced for last year’s spring-summer runway collection to coincide with Vuitton’s 150th anniversary and features details reminiscent of the first canvas-lined,rolex air king, embossed leather patch trunks the company produced in the late 1800s. The Louis Vuitton Sac De Nuit is a prime specimen of the aforementioned collection. Ain’t it to die for? A Toile Trianon cotton and polyester canvas, plated ostrich leather trimmings, along with the varnished polished brass buckle and nail hardware, they all contribute to this bag being the most fashionable way to sport a vintage Louis look these days. Striped cotton and polyester lining fill the interior, as inspired from the early trunk beds. This remarkable bag is destined to become a timeless classic, and sure the price tag does reflect its exclusivity. For almost $4,discount replica rolex watch,000 available through eLuxury.

Jimmy Choo Isola Shopper

Jimmy Choo Isola Shopper

,watches repplicas

Giddy up, cowgirl. The Jimmy Choo Isola Shopper is ready for a rootin’ tootin’ good time. And I hope you don’t expect me to continue writing like that for the rest of the post,quality replica watch, because I think it would make my head explode.

Fringe and studs are two things that you have to be very careful with, lest they turn a cute outfit into a complete costume. The folks at Jimmy Choo apparently chose not to heed such warnings, and this handbag suffers for it.

I really wish it was better, because I kind of like where they were headed with this style, but the first problem is the star studs. Studs can be studs and stars can be stars, but making them one and the same on a super expensive handbag does not exactly say “high end” to me. It says rodeo clown. When you combine that with a healthy doze of fringe and chunky leather stitching on the same bag, this particular piece becomes something that would probably only appeal to a very specific customer,replica rolex watch dealer, and that customer is not me. Which is too bad, because the leather and the wrinkling detail on this bag are beautiful. It’s the rest of it that’s not. Buy through Nordstrom for $1495.

Thomas Prescher's Handcrafted Time

Jun

As reported earlier,watches 4 u, the ‘Handcrafted Time’ exhibition took place from the 18th of June till the 21st of June in the Time Gallery in Bern.

Elizabeth Doerr wrote an excellent report on this exhibition, which has been published on WatchUseek (click here to read the report). One of the participants was BLU (Bernhard Lederer Universe), one of my favorite BaselWorld visits this year. Bern’s newspaper ‘Der Bund’ noticed the Handcrafted Time event and did an interview with Bernhard Lederer of BLU. Below you find a screenshot of the newspaper article (in German). Click here for a full blown version (readable).

It is great to see that events like these get media attention! Events related to watches and especially to independent watchmaking are great initiatives but require a lot of funding, which is hard for the brands to do by themselves. By giving these events attention in (local) newspapers and television,buy watch, chances are bigger for the organizers of these events to get some nice sponsorship deals.

Wednesday Watch The new Rolex Explorer explained - Fratellowatches.com

Mar
24

Today would be the birthday of Steve McQueen (24th of March), him being an avid Rolex wearer,hublot big bang, I though it might be a good day to write about one of the new introductions based on an all time classic sports watch. The Rolex Explorer.

“Perhaps the classic Rolex sports watch of all times is the Explorer (or Explorer I, as it is sometimes referred to). Even James Bond wears an Explorer in the original books by Ian Flemming. The first Explorer models (1953) are quite similar to the current model, although it has -  of course – been updated through time to keep up with modern requirements of the consumer. However,rolex replica watch, what didn’t change was the diameter of 36 mm.”

Now, in 2010, Rolex introduces the 39mm version of the good ol’ Explorer. An ref.214270 to keep your 36mm ref.114270 company, as the 114270 is still in the 2010 catalogue.

Technical specifications of this new watch are:

Case diameter: 39mm Sapphire crystal 100/300ft water resistant Movement type: 3132 (Parachrom hairspring with Breguet overcoil Paraflex shock absorbers) COSC rated Powerreserve 48 hours Oyster bracelet with Oysterlock(ft.Easylink comfort extension link)

Please read my Wednesday Watch post at Motoring Exposure about this new Rolex Explorer 214270.

Photo Essay Chopard LUC Chronometer

Nov
05

The subject of today’s photoessay is the seldom seen, but utterly sublime, Chopard LUC Chronometer. A modest 38mm in diameter,breitling fakes, it’s powered by the Chopard LUC 1.96 movement. The movement has twin barrels providing a 70 hour power reserve, and a solid gold micro rotor for winding; not only do I think the finishing is amongst the best I’ve ever seen – even under heavy magnification – it seems that the folks awarding Geneva Seals thought so, too. Interestingly, it’s also a very flat movement for an automatic – just 3.3mm. No doubt the micro rotor architecture contributes meaningfully here; it uses an ingenious lobed cam to drive a rocking pawl that ratchets back and forth to wind the barrel in small increments. The escapement is also similarly full of meaningful detail: the hairspring has a Breguet overcool and is held in an adjustable stud carrier, the regulator has a micrometer screw and tension spring to eliminate backlash. This particular example also happens to be a special edition,omega watch online, and has a hinged half-hunter case back which hides the sapphire display back. Sadly though, we don’t seem to see as much of this caliber as its obvious beauty merits – hopefully rectified to some small degree by this photoessay. Enjoy! MT

Linde Werdelin Oktopus diver

Mar,rolex submariner replica
20

About a month ago, I had this lunch meeting in London with Jorn Werdelin and Sky Sit (cool name eh?) of Linde Werdelin watches. I had never seen Linde Werdelin watches in real,rolex 8570f price, only on their website and on their press release(s). It is [always] difficult to determine whether you like a watch or not, if you have only see them in ads. Both Jorn and Sky were wearing a watch from their collection of course, and in my best memory a watch from their ‘Element’ series and one from their ‘Two Timer’ series. Let me tell you, that the photos you’ve seen on the internet don’t do justice to these watches.

Although the watches look a bit clunky at first, when you examine them, the (sharp) edged case, crown guard and lugs are totally in harmony and have a great finish. I can imagine these watches are a typical example of: you either love them or hate them. However, as I wrote some time ago, their Spidolite model [to be introduced in Basel] is perhaps a watch that is going to be liked by a broader audience. The skeleton case (I don’t have any other word for this ) and dial look awesome on the pictures!

Anyway, I received this e-mail from Linde Werdelin, telling me about the Oktopus diving watch. I thought the Spidolite was going to be the watch they want to introduce in Basel, but to my surprise they are also introducing a new diver to their collection. The Oktopus will become available in stainless steel (222 pieces), titanium (88 pieces), DLC (22 pieces) and in 18kt gold (22 pieces). Although I wonder why someone would want to dive with a 18kt gold wrist watch of course But I guess Rolex thought of that long time ago already when introducing a 18kt Submariner and Yacht-Master, and people bought (and still buy) them too.

The Oktopus is water resistant up (or down?) to 1111 meters. That should do it. It seems that the 300 meters we were used to, aren’t enough any more for the professional diver. Honestly, I don’t know what a professional diver would need to have for professional diving. But if you are over a kilometre under water, I guess you know what you are doing and which equipment to use.

The Oktopus also carries an integrated helium escape valve that ensures the watch endures the pressure during resurface time. Otherwise, the sapphire crystal may pop off for example. And, you are also still able to use the diving instrument called ‘Sea Instrument‘ by Linde Werdelin to snap on top of the watch for professional use.

As for the tech specs:

The Oktopus uses the ever reliable ETA 2892-A2 movement. This movement has proven itself since 1982 (the additional -A2 came later) and can be found in a lot more watches from various high end brands. It’s ETA’s work horse for no-nonsense hour/minute/seconds/date watches. The size of the watch is 46(w)x49(l)x13.5(h) mm.

The stainless steel version will cost 5900 Euro and the DLC version (as pictured above) will cost 7380 Euro. Make sure to visit stand A03 in Hall 4 if you are planning to visit BaselWorld 2009.

Too see the whole collection, order or pre-order a watch or instrument, visit the official Linde Werdelin website.

The Royal Oak How It Was Not Meant To Be - But Still Beautiful

Sep
12

When the recently passed away watch designing legend Gerald Génta (more on his work here) was working on the octagonal shaped Royal Oak, he designed a sports watch with only basic functionality. Hours, minutes and a date window. Nothing more, nothing less. Using one of the most beautiful mechanical automatic movements developed by Jaeger-LeCoultre (caliber 2120), Audemars Piguet was able to keep Genta’s timepiece as flat as it was meant to be.

Since then, a lot of variations of the original Royal Oak (patent can be found here) have been designed by Audemars Piguet. Purists might tell you that the only way to go is Jumbo, however, we tell you that there are other Royal Oak models that are just as interesting – or perhaps even more – to go after. Timezone member Glenn2004 from Toulouse (France), showed his gold Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Quantieme Perpetuel (or Perpetual Calendar) on a brown leather alligator strap.

As you can see, a wonderful combination of precious metals, mechanical complication and the octagonal sporty shape of the Royal Oak. This 39mm Royal Oak ref. 26252OR has the same diameter as the Jumbo and Royal Oak Date (15300) and makes it suitable for almost every wrist size. A very modest diameter for a watch with these type of complications, especially in the days that bigger still seems to be better.

Under the hood, Audemars Piguet used their caliber 2120/2802. A movement based on the original caliber 2120 – based on Jaeger-LeCoultre’s caliber 920 – with a QP module added to it. Normally, the base movement is only 2.45mm in height, the QP module makes it 4mm in total. This excludes the 21 carat gold rotor, which is about half a millimeter in height. On top of the basic time, the Perpetual Calendar has day, date, moon phase, month and leap years functionality.

Although the general love seems to go to the Offshore models these days, I think it are the beauties like these that make Audemars Piguet being mentioned in the same sentence as Vacheron Constantin and Patek Philippe.

This piece of art retails for $83,leather handbag manufacturers in spain,900.- USD but is known to depreciate quite a bit over time. If you are fortunate enough,discount rolex watch, it might be a wise idea to check auctions or the Chrono24 website for a (relatively) good deal.
