Movado: Beauty Meets Function With Bareleto, Amorosa & Rondiro

Monday, December 22nd, 2008


There is something special about several of Movado’s watch designs for women. A watch is an important tool for telling time, but it also plays an integral role as a fashion accessory in many cases. Imagine a watch that delivers both the practicality of telling accurate time and one that is capable of enhancing an overall fashion statement. Movado’s Bareleto, Amorosa and Rondiro models all serve dual purposes as watches and bracelets. Both beauty and functionality are combined through fine Swiss craftsmanship.

The Bareleto and Amorosa designs combine the modern grace and lines of a bangle bracelet with a timekeeping piece at the center. These watches are like one seamless piece of metal that serve function and fashion.

The Amorosa features an appealing split design that is adaptable and modern. Two clean lines of fine plated stainless steel encircle the wrist on either side. Both diamond and two-tone settings are available to meet the specific needs and tastes of the wearer.

Bareleto resembles a traditional, one-piece bangle that is enhanced by Movado’s innovation and attention to detail. Subtle details on the watch bracelet give it a look of modernity and elegance simultaneously. Brushed stainless steel, two-toned and solid plated finishes are all beautiful accompaniments to the simple watch dial. Variations in color and texture in the Bareleto design make it a versatile and fashionable companion.

The Rondiro models deliver a more traditional bracelet feel. The bracelet links are constructed of seemingly interlocked concentric circles that surround the entire wrist. Several models feature rectangular watch faces that make a striking contrast when set amongst the circles in the bracelet. Rondiro is elegance at its finest, with several options that include stunning diamond settings.

Bareleto, Amorosa and Rondiro are true works of art that follow a long Movado tradition. Not only have Movado watches found their place in museums across the globe, the company maintains a close relationship with fine and visual artists like Andy Warhol, actresses Mia Maestro and Kerry Washington. These three designs keep in touch with the Movado tradition of crafting fine watches that are beautiful and timeless enough to be regarded as artistic creations. Not only are they are pleasing to the eye, they fall into an entirely unique class of their own with their ability to serve dual purposes as watch and bracelet.

All three of these designs feature Movado’s signature Museum Watch dial with only a single dot in the 12 o’clock position against an otherwise empty face. The dials are available in a variety of constructs, including gold, silver and a black finish. Each and every one is crafted durably with a scratch-resistant face and water resistance up to 30 meters. These timepieces are the perfect accompaniment for a night on the town or special occasions like holiday parties and weddings. Appropriate for gifts and special occasions, any woman would be proud to envelop her wrist in a Movado watch from the Bareleto, Amorosa or Rondiro collections.

The Official Ebel Beluga Collection of Ebel Watches

Thursday, November 20th, 2008


y a century, Ebel has been crafting some of the very finest Swiss watches. The company is unique in that it was cofounded by a husband and wife. They dreamed of making luxury watches grounded in both masculinity and femininity accordingly. Ebel’s Beluga Collection follows that feminine tradition that began long ago in 1911. The Beluga Collection sacrifices nothing to uphold the traditions that this fine watchmaker stands for.

The Beluga Collection is designed just for women. More specifically, it is for women who have a tendency to perceive their watches as not only timekeeping pieces, but also as jewelry. A watch can serve as more than a timekeeper, it can become a part of an overall fashion statement or personal image. Watches from the Beluga Collection glitter and shine. Feminine cofounder Alice Levy was a gem-lover and it is no strange coincidence that Beluga watches feature plenty of them. They deliver beautifully set gems against stylish faces, and a diverse spectrum of bracelets that are designed to be comfortable and eye-catching at the same time.

Beluga watches are beautiful and versatile. Imagine a unique watch face that is surrounded by a delicately crafted heart shape and inlaid with fine mother of pearl. Intricate diamond accents round out the overall look of the Ebel Beluga Heart watch. This is just one of many unique and stylish models in the collection. It would be a perfect accompaniment for a special occasion or a professional activity. An innovative concept introduced by Ebel is the scaling down of the size of several watches in the Beluga Collection. The Beluga Mini watches are smaller in size, yet feature the same intricate detailing and fine craftsmanship as the full-sized versions. In fact, some Beluga Minis leave room for as many as 46 diamonds to be set around the watch case. The tiny watches are delicate yet tantalizing at the same time and are just as capable in the area of performance.

The Beluga Collection watches feature a wide selection of vibrant colors in their mother of pearl faces. Subtle colors like traditional white, smooth rose and baby blue are complimented by bolder statements made by green and royal blue mother of pearl. There are also models that make even bolder statements with stainless steel faces of bright fuchsia and several different blues. Some of the faces feature Roman numeral numbering which is charming and nostalgic, or boldly stated diamond accents at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock.

Each and every watch from the Ebel Beluga Collection is the result of Swiss craftsmanship. The Ebel name and those who stand behind it are known as ‘architects of time’ and the innovative designs found in the Beluga Collection are no exception. An architect carefully designs and plans each and every facet of their creation. The artistry, innovation and attention to detail that goes into each and every timepiece in the Beluga Collection is a part of the longstanding Ebel tradition - they are true architects of time.

Movado: Sports Edition Watches - Sports Yet Luxury Watches

Thursday, November 20th, 2008


watch that combines the elements of elegance and sportsmanship. It would have to be a high-performing piece, constructed of the finest materials and crafted in an innovative way. There would also be a pressing need for strong resistance, high quality functionality and a certain respect for fashion at the same time. These are the exact things that Movado has accomplished with their Sports Edition watches. It is a special collection that caters to the very specific needs of sports-minded watch wearers.

Since 1981, the highly popular Sports Edition collection has played an important part in fashion, business and in the lives of the professional athletes. Movado maintains a very strong connection with the sports world. Today, renowned athletic ambassadors such as Pete Sampras and Derek Jeter proudly wear the brand and are a testimony to its dedication to high-performing timepieces. Watches in the collection have been continually redesigned with more creativity and scientific elements in the design process to achieve the optimum level of performance.

Movado’s Sports Edition is a dynamic collection of luxury timekeeping pieces that features detailed contouring. The contouring is designed with both artistic and aerodynamic considerations in mind. Stainless steel is the foundation for the watch because of its durability and resistance. However, solid, two-tone or 18K gold plating enhances the beauty and gives an overall impression of fine craftsmanship to the watches in the Sports Edition collection. Most of them also feature the Museum Watch dial, a simple design with only a single dot in the 12 o’clock position. Beyond the basics, versatility is a key element. All watches in the Sports Edition are water resistant up to 30 meters. These watches are available with a varying number of options, including the classic Museum Watch dial or an Arabic dial, with or without diamonds. An additional choice between quartz and fine automatic movement is also available. The myriad of possibilities for these watches continued when the band is accounted for. For the ladies, fine craftsmanship and athleticism meet the exotic with neon pink, ocean blue and lizard green hues.

The men’s watches feature the same artistic design, aerodynamic contouring and a variety of band offerings. Some special chronograph versions of the Sports Edition are also available in the men’s portion of the Sports Edition collection. Chronograph watches serve a dual purpose as timekeepers and stopwatches, and the Movado design is one that is both appealing and functional. The Sports Edition Chronographs highlight a single digit on the watch face; that is the 12 in the northernmost position. Dots indicate other critical points in time on the dial. It is a striking contrast to the oft-cluttered look of the average chronographic watch.

Simplicity, elegance and quality performance are at the crux of Movado’s Sports Edition watches. They are fine examples of the Swiss watch tradition and are capable of going the distance and meeting the needs of individuals who enjoy a fast-paced lifestyle. The Sports Edition collection strives for nothing less that perfection.
