Blauer Spring Summer Campaign

Bruce Springsteen ringing in our ears after a rather 'noisy' trip to the office today, the sun shining once again here in Geneva inspired our "Born in the USA" look for our trip to the surrounding countryside and lakeside.

BLAUER Tank Top to get those arms and shoulders tanned, shorts (from Blauer again) just in case we actually do decide to wade into the freezing lake waters, and a Star-Spangled-Banner shawl from -yes you've guessed it- the Blauer 2012 men's collection, just in case the Bise wind decides to start up again.

Match those with DIESEL's Denim Back Up Strip ruck sack, to carry your picnic, drinks, rolled up windbreaker and usual odds and sods, a pair of classic iconic RAYBANs  (got to protect our eyes you know) and THE ROW's new sneaker collection for SUPERGA

 

ONE IN EVERY COLOUR AND YOU'RE SET TO GO!

The SWATCH New Gent Lacquered collection combines super sleek and stylishly-shine lacquered surfaces with fab colours: black, eye-popping pink, wonderful white, perfect purple, bold indigo, tangy orange, greyish-blue garish green, sunny yellow,  hot red!

The mechanisms of the watches have been left fully exposed and are all lacquered in contrasting colours, ensuring an endless source of fascination and admiration.

Simple as it may seem this is the result of a highly complex production process and is seen as an indication of SWATCH'S ongoing commitment to technical excellence!

THE GREEN PEBBLES GIRLS WILL HAVE ONE IN EVERY COLOUR THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!

Well trust a solution to come out of what is slowly becoming the centre for luxury goods, afterall Richemont, Bulgari and The Swatch Group - with all its brands including OMEGA are all based here in Switzerland (along with your Green Pebbles Girls!)

 

 

An LV lover and collector for many years JOYCE KORBAN always wanted to care for her 'master pieces', she therefore invented an original, unique supplementary range to cover, protect and preserve these exclusive items, at the same time keeping their beauty visible for everyone to admire.

So successful was her idea that she went on to develop more and has designed covers for all purposes: i.e.: Apple devices, Blackberry devices and garment covers....( Phone and iPod ,iPad covers  and more will be introduced shortly).

 

Each and every JOYCE KORBAN item is carefully designed with the highest precision, from their handcrafted zip pullers and buttons to their finished products.

Use them once and you'll wonder how you've ever survived without them!

JOYCE KORBAN only uses highest quality recyclable TPU plastic which never smells,  premier quality YKK zip which lasts forever  (so none of those zip disasters!) as well as allowing your clothes to breathe when they are stored away by using premier high quality cotton stitched inside the dress covers ,(perfect for placing your lavender or moth repellent to keep those nasty odours and munching moths at bay).

Available to purchase online from Joyce Korban's online store.   For further information please contact the Joyce Korban customer service team:   assist@joycekorban.com

Swiss Independent Watch Maker LAURENT FERRIER offers its aficionados a new version of its Galet Micro-Rotor: an ultra-limited 18-piece platinum limited edition with a white grand feu enamelled dial.

A high-performance “motor”, encased in precious bodywork exalting its understated elegance typical of the brand.

Indeed true to its 'creatively classic' style,  the 950 platinum smooth pebble shape of the case echoes the understatedly elegant models of 19th century horological history.

Founded in 2008 by Laurent Ferrier, the brand, which takes his name is dedicated to traditional fine watchmaking. Constantly developing totally innovative movements whilst driven by a completely independent approach.

The young company harks back to the origins of expertise and fundamentals of traditional watchmaking, while lending its own contemporary vision of movement construction. Their recent development guarantees a degree of precision and reliability bordering on perfection.

Testament to the company's rising success has been their  Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix prize in the “Men’s Watch” category for its first creation, the Galet Classic,  and in 2011, the brand was acknowledged as the most promising by Asia's watch specialist magazine Revolution, which granted it the “Rising Star Award”.

The Galet Micro-rotor features two exclusive characteristics: a micro- rotor pawl-fitted automatic winding system, assisted by an exclusive silicon double-direct impulse escapement fitted directly on the balance, inspired by the father of modern horology, Abraham-Louis Breguet. This modern construction, associated with the use of cutting-edge materials, maximises the restitution of energy. Its excellent efficiency guarantees high balance amplitude, thereby reducing the mechanical force required to wind the barrel spring and optimising the movement winding.

The automatic winding mechanism is a unidirectional-winding pawl-fitted micro- rotor. This type of pawl mechanism is closer to that used in traditional horology and is above all more efficient over the long term. The micro-rotor is fitted with an 18K gold guilloché oscillating weight.

This winding device is off-centred and housed on the mainplate between two bridges, fixed on an axis between two rubies. This ensures maximum stability compared with a conventional micro-rotor, thereby reducing the movement thickness and ensuring the clearest possible view of the construction.
