Haurex Italy Watches auctioned at Bidz.com

Lauren C. — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 23:38:57 +0000

Started in 1989, Haurex Italy is a relatively new watch brand that commands a lot of respect in the business of keeping time. Haurex is known for the bold faces that capture current trends, expert craftsmanship and precision in construction. They may be the new kid on the block, but they have studied the details that go into creating a timepiece and realize that the balance of all those screws and springs that work behind the scenes creates more than something that tells time – Haurex elevated the watch to artwork by infusing the best watch making practices and adding their own special dash of creativity to the design, which makes them all stand out from the crowd.

In Italy, Haurex is one of the top 10 fashion accessories and has become a status symbol. It’s not just because they are expertly made, it again goes back to the design of the face and band that makes them so special. They’re cutting edge, without being overly trendy. They’re sophisticated, but aren’t boring. These are watches that also come with a lot of interactive gadgets that are just plain cool. Found in luxury stores around the world, Haurex has become a favorite because they deliver time, fashion and precision in their timepieces.

Looks for Haurex ads featuring Kevin Costner, who was just appointed the spokesperson in 2009.

Lauren C. — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 22:36:15 +0000

Valentino has dressed some the world’s most beautiful woman and his name is synonymous with lavishness, class and high fashion. People from all walks of life are drawn to his designs because it expresses femininity without all the flowery effects. He made his mark on fashion by having a streamlined sense of construction that seems to accentuate the natural contours of a woman, while showcasing ornate craftsmanship that comes across as a delicate silhouette. Nothing Valentino has created appears over-the-top or flamboyant. It’s as if all of the finite details that went into a piece aren’t clear until you see it up close -- what comes across as simple, is an intricate execution of highly crafted design. Simply said -- Valentino is the definition of haute couture.

Celebrity fans range anywhere from Jackie O. to Jennifer Lopez, as he designed both their wedding gowns. Until his recent retirement, he had been creating high fashion garments since the 1960s and his clothing still dominates the red-carpet. Remember Julia Roberts dress when she accepted her Oscar? Valentino! He even perfected his own shade of red, known as Valentino Red.

Valentino branched out into watches and accessories, creating a line that is just as deliciously sophisticated as his clothing. They naturally balance glamour and a style in a way that mixes downtown hipness with uptown chic. A pair of a Valentino sunglasses or watch will never fall out of fashion because they are constructed with such an eye for detail that they somehow harnesses both current trends and old-school design -- the fashion is so elevated that it never falls out of favor!

Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas

Lauren C. — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 19:08:11 +0000

Valentine’s Day is quickly sneaking up on us and it’s time to start looking for that perfect gift. It’s not always an easy task finding something for your sweetie that shows the depths of your love and captures her style all at the same time. But let’s face it guys, women love jewelry. If your lady said she doesn’t love jewelry, she’s lying. All women, of every shape, size and color, love gems and jewels and you can never go wrong with them as a gift. Take the pressure off of finding that perfect something for your special someone by following these simple rules:

Simple Rules To Picking Out the Perfect Gift:

Does she want a ring, necklace, bracelet or earrings?

#1: Look at the jewelry she already owns. Does she wear necklaces, bracelets, rings or earrings? This is very particular for each women and as most ladies have one particular type of jewelry that they gravitate towards. Start scooping out what she already wears. If she puts on a pair of earrings every day, she’ll love a new set (just make sure to note if her ears are pierced or not). If she has a collection of rings, that means she REALLY LIKES them and wants more. Take a look at what she puts on day-to-day and pick a jewelry type that she has an affection towards. If she doesn’t wear jewelry on a daily basis, think about a time you got dressed up and remember what type of jewelry she was wearing. If she wore a necklace last time you got dolled up for a night out, chances are good she’ll love another.

Bidz-Favorite Valentine Day Pick 1:

(Luca Carati! Luxurious Ring Made in Italy with 2.86ctw Super Clean Diamonds Made of 18K Two Tone Gold)

Will she wear it?

#2: Think about what’s practical for her. If your lady has a job that requires her to run around all day, she’ll want something that isn’t heavy or that has lots of frills that will cling-and-clang all day. If she has a job that allows her to wear jeans and a t-shirt to work, she’ll want something that compliments her casual fashion. If she has an office job and gets dressed up every day, she’ll want something that is more noticeable. Think about the type of environment she spends her day in and then apply some common sense!

Bidz-Favorite Valentine Day Pick 2:

(Giorgio Visconti Brand New Earrings made in Italy With Precious Stones – Genuine Super Clean Diamonds and 7mm Akoya Pearls. Made in 18K White Gold.)

What’s her style?

#3: There are 2 distinct types of jewelry out there: flashy jewelry and classic jewelry. Which type your woman wears depends entirely on her personality. If she’s the life-of-the-party, typically wears loud-colored clothing and has an affinity for things that are outrageous, you’re safe with assuming she likes flashy jewelry. This is a piece that will get her noticed. It is unique, large, brightly-colored and stands out. This is a piece that will pass the 10 second rule- someone will notice it on her in the first 10 seconds they look at her.

If your woman is more reserved, tends to be minimalists in all she does and her style can be defined as casual, get her something that is classic. This is something that is elegant and not worn as a focal point. These are jewels that are smaller in size, not brightly colored and tend to be more understated. Think about her personality and incorporate all those wonderful qualities that make you love her so much into picking out her piece.

Bidz-Favorite Valentine Day Pick 3:

(ZYDO Brand New Heart Necklace Made in Italy With 101.93ctw Precious Stones – Genuine Rubies and Corals Beautifully Crafted in 18K White Gold. Total item weight 68.5g – Certificate Available.)

And ladies, if you’re reading this and want to buy your man something, just apply the simple rules to your guy – and voila! You’ve got the perfect gift! Best of luck to you all and wishing everyone a very happy and loving Valentine’s Day! For more Gift Ideas Click Here

Ebel Watches

Lauren C. — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 00:11:37 +0000

Ebel watches are known as the architects of time, with a reputation for creating some of the most advanced technical watches that are downright mini works of art. They infuse all the love of creativity, while manufacturing a technical marvel that delicately works on precision and solid craftsmanship. Ebel understands the functionality of a watch (keeping time) is important, but so is the imagination and artistry of owning a watch that harmoniously balances innovation and imagination.

Started in 1911, Ebel was started by a husband and wife in Switzerland, the home of elite watch making. Back in that time, having a women involved in the watch making process was unheard of, so in many respects, this company has always been ahead of their time. The corporate name is derived from a combination of their names, Eugene Blum and Alice Levy, with EBEL being an acronym for Eugene Blum et Levy. Eugene focused on the technical side, while Alice worked on the design side. It was the combination of the masculine and feminine aspects that created something entirely new to the field of watches: something that is strong, innovative and daring yet doesn’t compromise delicate detail and fine points that make an Ebel watch stand out.

Bertolucci Watches at Bidz.com

Lauren C. — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 18:03:07 +0000

Bertolucci watches are a union of Swiss watchmaking and the grand Italian aesthetic of design. The inside of these watches are highly-crafted masterpieces, with each detail carefully chosen and expertly placed in the fine tradition of Swiss watchmaking. The outward construction has a flair for the Italian love of composition, with each piece designed with a nod towards the classic. Every watch infuses a Mediterranean feel, with an impression of the elements that make us love the country, embedded in the structure of these timepieces.

Founded in 1987 by Remo Bertolucci, Bertolucci is headquartered in Neuchtel, Switzerland. Remo Bertolucci married into a Swiss watchmaking family and it is this blend of traditions that has created some of the most luxurious watches to be found today.

The dial is what draws people to these watches, the craftsmanship is what makes them come back. Each watch tells a story with the blend of colors, the positioning of gems, and the position of the lines on each one.

These watches are special because they are just more than fashion. They are not made for the sake of being beautiful, they are beautiful because they artfully convey a feeling that is reflective of the designer, Remo Bertolucci.
