H Stern Marketing to Grand Endeavors
An innovator of the jewelry industry from a design perspective, H. Stern did not stop there. Ideas that were originally implemented as marketing strategies have evolved into grand endeavors for the company of which they are very proud.In the 1950s, Founder Hans Stern opened a “Guided Tour” of its workshops to show off the jewelry making process in an effort to attract foreign clients and a museum of crystals and rough gemstones. Currently, the museum includes a permanent exhibit of Hans’ personal collection of polished tourmalines and other rare minerals. There are over 1,000 different shades of tourmalines alone.In the late 1950s, in an effort to rate the quality of his gemstones, Hans established his own gemological laboratory to analyze and classify precious gems and metals as well as research new raw materials. Now the Brazilian jewelry company follows the high standards and specifications of the Gemological Institute of America and ensures that its labs are equipped with the most advanced technology available to the industry.Shop By Replica Watches CollectionRelated articles in Fashion Watches newsBaselworld 2010 Planning Moves Forward With ConfidenceBalmain Watches Grace Miss Switzerland Pageant

IWC Vintage Ingenieur Automatic Watch
PRESS RELEASE –The IWC Ingenieur Automatic of 1955: No watch has defined the “technical” profile of IWC quite like the Ingenieur, which was introduced in 1955 and which was the first watch to feature the IWC automatic movement developed by Albert Pellaton. With its pawl-winding system and the spring-mounted rotor, it has remained a benchmark for watch technology at the highest level – while retaining the ultimate degree of toughness. This programmatic watch, which exemplifies the watchmaking engineering of the Schaffhausen manufacturer, launched IWC into the modern era. An icon of a quality consciousness handed down since 1868, it has remained in the product range under a number of guises. In 1989, a legendary model, the Ingenieur 500,000 A/m, set a world record with its antimagnetic components for the resistance of a mechanical watch against the most extreme magnetic fields. Half a century after its first appearance, IWC’s watchmaking icon was fundamentally revised. That which more than 50 years ago ensured toughness and reliability in the Ingenieur – first as the 8531 and later as the 8541 calibre – today finds its logical evolution in the IWC-manufactured 80110 and 80111 calibre. The Ingenieur Automatic is equipped with this unit, which also drives the “new” Ingenieur, presented in 2005. The vintage watch features a 42.5-millimetre case and one of the most stylish Ingenieur dials – with the point-stroke indices (the luminescent material forms the point) and the dauphine-style hands. This model is today a collector’s rarity of the very highest order. The modern homage to this watch monument dispenses with the soft iron case of the original, thus affording an insight into the IWC-manufactured movement. With the anti-reflective, crossed out sapphire glass over the dial and the screw-in crown, the new Vintage Ingenieur is water-resistant to 12 bar. TECHNICAL DATA Features Homage to the first Ingenieur with automatic movement from 1955, with the 80111-calibre movement successor with Pellaton winding system, platinum model limited to 500 watches Movement Calibre 80111 Vibrations 28,800/h / 4 Hz Jewels 28 Power reserve 44 h Winding automatic Case Materials platinum, stainless steel Glass sapphire, crossed out, antireflective Back sapphire glass Dial silver-plated, black Water-resistant 12 bar Diameter 42.5mm Height 14.5mm Weight Watch in platinum with black crocodile leather strap 163 g Watch in stainless steel with black crocodile leather strap 99 gShop By IWC CollectionRelated articles in IWC newsIWC Ingenieur Automatic Mission Earth WatchIWC Novelties Da Vinci Automatic Precious Stones Watch

Glashutte Original Awards 2009 Saeculum Music Festival Prize To Gustavo Dudamel
Young Venezuelan conductor Gustavo Dudamel was the latest recipient of the Saeculum Glashutte Original Music Festival Prize. On the 23rd of May, 2009, the celebrated Saxon watch manufacture presented Dudamel with his 25,000 Euro award and the distinctive Saeculum Prize which presents a model of the flying tourbillon as conceived by German horologist Alfred Helwig. The prize itself, featuring a base in Elbe sandstone, was crafted by trainees of the Alfred Helwig School of Watchmaking, an important foundation of watchmaking knowledge in Glashutte. The presentation took place at the famed Dresden Semperoper. Bestowing the 28-year old conductor with his prize and hearty congratulations were Gunter Wiegand, Managing Director of Glashutte Original, and Jan Vogler, Director of the Dresden Music Festival. The prize was in large part a recognition of Dudamel’s dedication to “El Sistema”, a social program in Venezuela which utilizes a network of musical schools and orchestras to assist impoverished youth in finding positive focus for their lives. Dudamel expressed his gratitude for the accolade and prize money, emphasizing that the latter would be used to purchase instruments for the El Sistema orchestras. He also commented upon the importance of cultivating artistic values in emerging generations. “That,” said Dudamel, “is the most important thing–music and peace, justice and love.” Following the conclusion of the award ceremony, Gustavo Dudamel took to the podium and led the musicians of Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw Orchestra in a fine performance of various works, including Sergei Prokofiev’s Fifth Symphony in B-flat Major.

Swiss watch brand Maurice Lacroix has revealed that Martin Bachmann, 46, will assume the position of chief executive officer, effective on November 1, 2008. Bachmann will take over the position held by outgoing Maurice Lacroix CEO Philippe C. Merk, who in recent news was nominated to be the CEO of Audemars Piguet. Martin Bachmann has been on the executive board of Maurice Lacroix for seven years, and holds the position of global director of Marketing and Country Operations.

Girard-Perregaux R&D 01 Chronograph Monte Carlo 1983 Watch
At the SIHH 2009 exhibition in Geneva, Swiss watchmaker Girard-Perregaux unveiled a limited edition R&D 01 Chronograph watch, whose sporty detailing and distinctive case design commemorate the Monte-Carlo Rally of 1983–the same year in which Walter Rohrl and co-driver Christian Geistdorfer claimed the first overall position driving a Lancia 037. The 43mm stainless steel case of the Girard-Perregaux R&D 01 Chronograph Monte Carlo 1983 watch was designed by Luigi Macaluso. It displays a finely brushed finish that is pleasingly accented by a domed polished bezel; the protected crown at 4 o’clock controls the winding and setting of the watch. Located between the inverted chronograph pushers on the left side of the case is a secondary crown that governs the operation of an internal rotating bezel. Accents of blue and red enliven the technically detailed black dial, with its four silver subdials, and bold Arabic hour markers and sword shaped hands applied with luminous material. To enhance the legibility of the chronograph complication, elapsed chronograph minutes are indicated via a large central hand with a blue arrow tip. Subdials at 3 and 6 o’clock indicate the day/night scale and the date, respectively. A discreet “Monte-Carlo 1983″ inscription atop the date pays homage to a respected achievement in the world of automobile racing. Animating the R&D 01 Chronograph Monte Carlo 1983 watch is the self-winding GP033C0 caliber, a movement designed and manufactured by Girard-Perregaux. Frequency of the smooth balance is 28,800 vibrations per hour, enabling the chronograph to record independent intervals of elapsed time with 1/8th second precision. Power reserve is 46 hours. Six screws secure the caseback, which features a sapphire crystal exhibition window. Circular graining, Cotes de Geneve, and chamfered edges are among the traditional finishing which impart beauty to the refined Girard-Perregaux caliber. 250 individually numbered examples of the Girard-Perregaux R&D 01 Chronograph Monte Carlo 1983 watch will be produced, each being accompanied by a special case bearing the symbol of the “Automobile Club de Monaco”. Water resistance of the model is 50 meters, and the alligator leather straps are fitted with a stainless steel deployant buckle.
