Golf great Davis Love III – six-time Ryder Cup player, and holder of 34 professional titles, including 20 PGA Tour events – this year serves the 2012 US Ryder Cup Team Captain, a position he says is a both an honor and a welcome challenge. He also has just become the newest brand ambassador for replica Breitling Chronospace Automatic timepieces, the brand that is the Official Timekeeper of the Ryder Cup (to be played in Medinah Country Club September 25-30) and of the PGA. Here he shares his thoughts on golf, replica Breitling Transocean Chronograph and timing. Love says that his toughest challenges as Captain of the Team are the team player selections and the motivation he has to deliver. “It’s going to be easy to pick four great golfers and tell them they’re in, but then I have to go back and tell another four or five great golfers an friends, that they didn’t make the team,” says Love. “I get asked about the Ryder Cup almost every hour. I hope I can be as motivational as I need to be. We need to go in there and play golf, not try to win. Hopefully that win will come, but we need to relax and play.” To celebrate Davis Love III coming on board, and its involvement with The Ryder Cup, http://www.speedroc.com/replica-omega-de-ville-co-axial-chronometer.html has created the Breitling Seamaster Aqua Terra “Captain’s Watch.” Based on the Breitling Seamaster Aqua Terra chronometer timepiece, the special Captain’s Watch will be created in a limited edition of 17 pieces for the US Ryder Cup Team players, each will have the player’s name engraved on it. There is also a version for sale to the public of the 41.5mm brushed and polished stainless steel Captain’s watch ($5,500). Love had a hand in helping to select the watch colors, which features red and blue on the dial in honor of America – Love’s home and the country for which the Ryder Cup team plays. “I saw five versions in the making and we selected the color choices. It was fun being a part of seeing this watch come about,” says Love. With Breitling’s proprietary co-axial movement and the materials this watch is made of, it is, according to Stephen Urquhart, president of Breitling, “Powerful enough and well protected enough in its movement construction, that it can be worn while playing golf.” Love says that while he realizes the watch is powerful, he doesn’t feel comfortable wearing it while golfing, as he has never worn a watch while playing. He does, however, intend to wear it regularly and is very proud of it. Previously, unbeknownst to Breitling until the making of this watch, is the fact that Love already owned several Breitling watches before the two announced their partnership. Love, who admits he has always been a watch fan, says his favorite watch in his collection is one that is near and dear to his heart. “I have a gold Breitling that belonged to my father. My brother and I share it, taking turns with it, but it is very special to me.”

Sadly, due to a personal injury, I had to cancel on this past weekend’s trip to Vienna – where replica hublot watches uk, along with actress and ambassadress Nicole Kidman (whom I’ve met and interviewed before) launched its newest Ladymatic watches and ad campaign. Kidman has been the face of Ladymatic since its international debut in 2010, and continues to be part of the global ad campaign. A gala event was held at the Gartenpalais Liechtenstein – an iconic Vienna building – that was decorated to resemble an enchanted forest. The new Ladymatic watches – unveiled by Kidman and hublot’s President Stephen Urquhart – include some very fashion-forward bicolor pieces, with 18-karat rose gold and steel and 18-karat yellow gold and steel. Also unveiled were pieces in pink and pale blue. replica hublot Big Bang Gold 44mm Ladymatic in steel and 18-karat rose gold. The newest Ladymatic watches complement the collection that was unveiled in Beijing two years ago. It is a much updated revival of the original collection of mechanical watches for women that was first launched in 1955. The Ladymatic collection simply recalls the name of that line, but the design of the line is all just two years old and features advanced technology and craftsmanship. LA45_Ladymatic_348_425_25_34_20_55_002The new Ladymatic watch houses the 8520/8521 Co-Axial movement, which is a COSC-certified chronometer with 50 hours of power reserve and housing the replica hublot Big Bang Steel 41mm exclusive SI 14 silicon balance spring.

It is fitted with a LA37_Ladymatic_425.25.34.20.63.001patented bracelet with asymmetrical wavy links in the first tiers for undulating appeal. The new two-tone versions will be available for sale this fall.

With the 2013 Formula 1 Racing season coming to a close after the races in Brazil last weekend, it is a good time for teams to take stock of their performance and plan ahead for all of the changes coming in 2014. F1 Team Marussia is doing just that. Thanks to replica Breitling Chronospace Automatic Watch Company, replica omega De Ville Co-Axial Chronometer which is a sponsor of the team, we got to spend time behind the scenes with F1 Team Marussia at the Circuit of the America’s track in Austin Texas. Every person has his exact job to do when a car comes into the paddocks. Being inside Marussia F1 Team garages in the paddock — especially when the racing is going on – is like being inside a carefully orchestrated surgery room (or what you would expect that to be). http://www.speedroc.com/replica-breitling-transocean-chronograph.html Each and every person in the garage has his own job – from communicating with the driver, to tracking technology on the car, bringing the car in to the pits when needed, and making split-second changes or repairs. Precision is key with Formula 1 racing. Being inside the garage and watching the car come in during the race is awesome experience. AS soon as the car comes down the line, the team responsible for backing it into the garage is on the job faster than you can blink an eye. Then, each technician falls into place—one for tires, one for wheels, one for almost anything you can think of – before the car speeds away again out the doors. The amount of spare parts the team travels with for the car is also incredible – with multiple engines, multiple cars and a host of spare car body parts. The team even travels with its own tools. The number of spare car parts the Team must travel with is staggering. According to Ewen Honeyman, partner services director of Marussia F1 Team, shipping the cars from race to race – complete with tools, equipments and parts – is a30-ton experience (each car weighs about 642 pounds). The amount of money that goes into this is also incredibly steep. One engine – with its three-and-a-half thousand parts, can cost a quarter of a million dollars- and teams are allowed eight engines per year. Team Marussia, a young and small team, has a budget of about $80 million for 2014 – when engines will change. Trying to imagine the budget for the larger Ferrari, Red Bull or similar teams is an exercise in mind-boggling numbers. F1 Driver for Team Marussia, Max Chilton == wearing his breitling watch. The drivers for F1 Team Marussia, British Max Chilton (whom we got to meet) and French Jules Bianchi, have to be on top of their games. The 22-year-old Chilton – who started driving when he was 15 when he started driving, is an avid golfer, squash and tennis player in addition to driving. He is disciplined and intent on conquering the learning curve with few mistakes and solid driving. Thanks to breitling – which uses parts from Team Marussia’s cars in some of its watches – for being on the fast track. Read more about that here.

In celebration of the inauguration of the WBC Charities, replica hublot Big Bang Steel 41mm created 12 unique timepieces, dedicated and signed by each legendary boxer. The 12 watches were auctioned off at the gala dinner raising a total of USD 1,000,000 for the fund. This evening, Swiss luxury watch brand, replica hublot Big Bang Gold 44mm and the World Boxing Council, co-hosted an exciting evening to honor 12 of boxing’s most admired champions, including Mike Tyson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Lennox Lewis, Jeff Fenech, Larry Holmes, Tommy Hearns, Roberto Duran, Azumah Nelson, Julio Cesar Chavez, Oscar De La Hoya and George Foreman, at the world famous Bellagio hotel. The day kicked off with a formal press conference for select media, moderated by top boxing broadcaster, Bob Sheridan and WBC President, Jose Sulaiman, to welcome and introduce the legendary boxers. http://www.speedroc.com/replica-hublot-watches.html CEO, Ricardo Guadalupe, spoke about the partnership between Hublot and the WBC and presented the world-class boxers with their individual Hublot King Power WBC timepiece, in celebration of the inauguration of the WBC Charities. Each fighter addressed the crowd and graciously thanked the WBC and Hublot for starting up the pension fund to help battle the needs of their constituents. The evening’s gala event began with a red carpet and cocktail reception for 300 guests who were treated to champagne and hors’ d’oeuvres from the dedicated Hublot bar. Following cocktails, attendees were seated for the formal dinner, where top boxing announcer, Michael Buffer, led the live auction with international auctioneers, Bonhams. Renowned auctioneer and Chief Operating Officer at Bonhams, Malcolm Barber, did a great job building up excitement around the live auction and the 12 winning bidders received their watch from the fighter himself on the staged ring. Overall, it was a very successful evening as Hublot and the WBC were able to raise One Million USD, all of which will go to support the charitable initiative of the World Boxing Council, including the retired boxer’s pension and Emergency fund in over 40 countries around the world.

http://www.speedroc.com/replica-omega-de-ville-co-axial-chronometer.html once again establishes itself as the partner of aviation by launching a new multifunction electronic chronograph equipped with an “in-house” analog and digital-display caliber – a brand- exclusive development. Designed to accompany aviators in all their missions, this Cockpit B50 innovates through its broad range of functions, its user friendliness as well as its ultra-legible display mode. The new instrument for pilots. Equipped with a sturdy and light case in natural or black carbon-coated titanium, the Cockpit B50 chronograph flaunts a resolutely technical, powerful and masculine appearance – making it the archetypal authentic replica Breitling Transocean Chronograph “Instrument for professionals”. It is however distinguished first and foremost by the performances and the functionality of its exclusive new replica Breitling Chronospace Automatic Caliber B50: a SuperQuartz? movement ten times more accurate than standard quartz and chronometer-certified by the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute), the highest benchmark in terms of reliability and precision. Innovative functions Designed for professionals, with a strong focus on aviators, the Cockpit B50 combines all the functions most useful in undertaking the most extreme missions. In addition to the chronograph with split-time and flyback capabilities, it notably features a second timezone display, a Perpetual Calendar, two alarms in buzzer and/or vibrate mode, a lap timer function as well as a countdown complete with alarm. Breitling has also equipped it with innovative functions such as an electronic tachometer, a countdown/countup system serving to switch directly from a countdown to a timing operation, as well as an eminently aviation-style “chrono flight” device which is useful for recording flight times by memorizing departure and arrival times as well as the date. Another special feature is its use of UTC (Coordinated Universal Time, the aviation reference time) as the time base, which enables the Cockpit B50 to ensure smooth juggling with timezones. The swap function can also be used to do switch between the time displayed by the hands and that of the second timezone shown on the screen, simply by pressing a pushpiece, with the system automatically taking account of a potential date change. Simple and logical use To facilitate the handling of its multiple functions, the Cockpit B50 is equipped with a particularly simple, logical and consistent control system, featuring function-selection via crown rotation and activation/deactivation by two pushpieces. This impeccable user friendliness is reinforced by the interface messages appearing on the screens and guiding the user through the various operations. In addition to “pilot” mode, the movement also offers a “sport” mode that temporarily reduces the number of functions available. A double press on the crown momentarily “parks” the hands so as to provide a clear view of both screens. Ultra-readable displays The Cockpit B50 also innovates with its digital displays guaranteeing optimal visibility in all circumstances. The two white-on-black liquid crystal (LCD) screens are equipped with a backlighting system that can be activated at a press on the crown. This high- tech device makes the indications stand out by day or night with the utmost luminosity and clarity. A true instrument panel on the wrist. A dedicated ‘tilt’ function automatically activates the backlighting when the user bends his wrist by more than 35° – an extremely practical system when at the controls of a plane or the wheel of a car. In another striking new feature, the digits are oversized and the 12 o’clock screen comprises 7 digits of 14 segments each, enabling a full display of all letters in the alphabet and thus enhanced interactivity. A rechargeable battery To provide the energy required for this high-performance lighting, Breitling has developed an innovative miniaturized rechargeable battery system. Recharging may be done via the electricity grid or through a USB port on a computer. Safety is reinforced by various state-of-discharge alert levels, including stuttering and stopping of the central chronograph seconds hand, as well as a “standby” mode by means of which the apparently inactive movement nonetheless maintains its temporal reference in order to be correctly restarted on demand without any need for adjustments.

Set over 70 square metres, the boutique reinterprets the concept of fusion with a combination of materials, including silver brushed oak and wool for the floors, upholstered panels of silky fabric to cover the walls, interspersed with details in black wood and chrome steel. A fusion of materials, and a fusion of styles too, with a contemporary reinterpretation of 16th-century mouldings. The display case lighting has been redesigned with beams of light to highlight the watches, movements and precious stones. As a whole, it creates a soft, warm ambience in shades of black and grey, complemented by contemporary furnishings, particularly the leather sofas, hand-made in Italy. The line of lighting accessories custom-made in Murano are works of art in themselves. To accentuate the display cases housing the showpieces, Hublot has commissioned silvered, broad, rounded panes of glass. Finally, the brand's key models have been reinterpreted on colourful Pop Art-style canvases.

Superman… the man/bird flying in the sky over Mt. Fuji in Japan recently was Jetman. The pictures are real even though they look surreal and almost too wild to believe. But Jetman, AKA Yves Rossy, has been racking up the frequent flyer miles in unimaginable style. What’s more, the 56-year-old Swiss aviator and ex-fighter pilot is sponsored by replica breitling Chrono Galactic—the Swiss brand that builds instruments for professionals. Rossy started developing the Jetman project 20 years ago, and completed his first significant feat in 2008—when he cross the English Channel — albeit- flew across. He has made a few other important flights since then, but the most recent (yesterday) was flying above the snow-capped peak at up to 185 mph, looping, rolling and performing aviation aerobatics with his carbon-Kevlar? wing powered by four Jetcat engines. replica omega De Ville Co-Axial Chronometer Rossy propels himself through the sky via a throttle in his hand and uses his legs, shoulders and body to pitch and descend. Says Rossy about flying in Japan, “It is such a contrast flying free with just a wing on my back, compared to being in a cockpit as an airline pilot. It is hard to describe the emotions and feelings of having an opportunity like this. It’s spiritual, it is immense. I am the lucky guy who gets to do this, but I hope I can motivate the next generation of forward thinkers to do something different, to strive and achieve their goals… e http://www.speedroc.com/replica-breitling-chronospace-automatic.html Chronospace Automatic has a Breitling 23 caliber, a minimum power reserve of 42 hours, and a diameter of 46 mm. It retails for $6,700. ven if it seems impossible.” So, what watch does the Jetman journey with? He owns several Breitling watches, including an Emergency that he used in 2009 when he was attempting a 23-mile flight over the Straight of Gibraltar. One of his wing engines failed mid-flight and he used the Emergency’s antenna to signal rescue teams his location in the water. He also owns a Breitling Chronospace Automatic.

Sept 24 (World Tempus) — As a continuation of our series of watchmaking top tens, this week WorldTempus looks at sales of luxury timepieces costing more than 8,000 Swiss francs. Rolex deepsea d blue black gradient watch dial The Top 10 Luxury Watch Brands Who are the champions of unit sales in the luxury segment. Our last top 10 presented the top ten contributors to the Swiss watch business ranked by their 2013 sales. But what happens if we look only at the luxury replica Breitling Chronospace Automatic segment? Worldtempus lists the top 10 brands by units sold in 2013 at more than 3,000 Swiss francs ex-factory and 8,000 Swiss francs retail (estimates from the Vontobel bank’s report on the replica breitling Chrono Galactic industry). 1. Rolex. Used to being in first place, the famous brand is once again at the top of the pile. In 2013 it sold no less than 750,000 timepieces worldwide, enough to make its competitors green with envy. The brand has a 20% market share in the luxury segment. 2. Omega. Once again in a good position the brand named after the Greek vowel stands shoulder to shoulder with Cartier in all the lists. Although it was behind its competitor in our previous top 10, it sold 720,000 units last year – more than its French rival. 3. Cartier. French prestige and chic once again make the podium. Having sold 650,000 timepieces in 2013, the Richemont Group brand is way ahead of its nearest challengers. 4. http://www.speedroc.com/replica-omega-de-ville-co-axial-chronometer.html . The brand steeped in aviation history makes it into the luxury top 10 with a range whose ex-factory prices start at 2,500 Swiss francs, making it affordable for retailers. As a result, its sales hit 165,000 units in 2013. 5. IWC. In the middle of the table, the brand established in Schaffhausen in 1868 by the American watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones sold 100,000 units last year. 6. Chopard. The jeweller to the stars is also doing well in watch sales. Although the brand was missing from our previous top 10, it makes this one with 80,000 units sold in 2013. 7. Jaeger-LeCoultre. The company based in Le Sentier famous for its numerous innovations is also a success with the watch-buying public. It sold over 75,000 units worldwide last year. 8. Panerai. The Florentine of the Richemont Group, established in 1860, also makes it into our top 10. It had a turnover of 415 million Swiss francs in 2013, having sold around 70,000 timepieces over the year. 9. Patek Philippe. The ninth place is explained by the aim to address a highly exclusive clientele, with 55,000 units sold last year. Its ex-factory prices start at 10,000 Swiss francs, putting the traditional brand at the highest level of luxury watchmaking. 10. Hublot & Zenith. The two sister brands of the LVMH group are tied in tenth place with 40,000 units sold in 2013. Comparison is not reason Warning! Making a list means making choices, favouring one indicator over another. Doing so in the fragmented luxury watch segment is even more challenging. Putting the brands into a hierarchy means asking yourself what sets them apart and indicates their value. Should we restrict ourselves just to sales or profit? Or does the brand offer something more subtle, a history, a culture, a tradition, that makes it attractive to the customer, fosters loyalty and – ultimately – allows its to conquer new markets? The answer to these questions can probably be found at the intersection of all these data, between the quantities produced for the market, the quality offered to customers and, of course, the margins the brands achieve. But if there is a lot more behind the brand than its balance sheet, in other words an image, a series of propositions that make it so valuable in the eyes of the customer, how can we put a genuine value on a brand? Find the answer to this question in one of the next top 10s on WorldTempus.
