TAG Heuer Celebrates 150th Anniversary

Tag Heuer 150th Anniversary Leonardo Dicaprio


TAG Heuer celebrates its 150th anniversary at an invitation-only event. Leonardo DiCaprio was among the events 600 guests. DiCaprio has an ongoing partnership with the company that benefits the NRDC and Green Cross International. The night also served as the premiere of the Grand Carrera Pendulum, a 2010 concept watch that does not use a hairspring. Jean-Christophe Babin, president and CEO of TAG Heuer, explained how it works: "In the regulation system, we simply replaced the traditional hairspring with magnetic fields. TAG Heuer invented the oscillating pinion in 1887; the Mikrograph, the first counter that was accurate to a 100th of a second; and the V4, with its belt-driven transmission system. Now, we are introducing another major innovation, and another example of the pioneering spirit that has imbued us for a century and a half."

Kim Clijsters Joins Citizen Watch Company as Brand Ambassador

Kim Clijsters Citizen Watch


Kim Clijsters, the reigning and two-time US Open tennis champion, is the newest Brand Ambassador for the Citizen Signature timepiece collection. Kim Clijsters, won the US Open Championship in 2005 and returned as an unranked wildcard in 2009 following a 27-month absence after the birth of her daughter. She promptly won the 2009 US Open Championship, and in the process became the first unranked wildcard to win a Grand Slam event in over 30 years.

Kim Clijsters said, "I am very proud to be an Ambassador for the Citizen Watch Company. Citizen has had a long affiliation with tennis as the Official Timekeeper of the US Open, so a partnership with Citizen is a natural choice for me. Passion has always been a critical part of my tennis game, just like the passion that Citizen has put into The Signature Collection."

Thieves Steal Hundreds of Luxury Watches From Tokyo Jeweler

Japan Today reports that thieves stole over 200 high-end watches worth over $3 million from Tenshodo, a jewelry store located in Tokyo's high-end Ginza shopping district. The robbers bored a hole into the concrete wall of the Tenshodo store to gain entrance.
The hole was made in a gap between the building housing the Tenshodo store and a neighboring building, they said, adding that the watches, including Rolexes, had been taken from glass showcases in the basement floor.

The concrete exterior and plaster interior walls were broken through, allowing access to a staircase connecting the first floor to the basement, police said.

The theft is believed to have taken place after a security guard patrolled the basement at 4:20 p.m. Friday. Security guards are stationed at the building around the clock.
The police won't say how many thieves were involved in the robbery.

AT&T, Tag Heuer Evaluating Relationship With Tiger Woods

Tag Heuer Tiger Woods WatchesAccenture has already left Tiger Woods because of his string of tawdry affairs. CBS News reports that AT&T and Tag Heuer are considering dropping Tiger Woods as well.
For now, his other sponsors are sticking with him. AT&T and luxury watchmaker Tag Heuer both say they are evaluating their relationship with Woods. Nike, whose golf equipment, marketed around Woods, brings in $800 million a year says, "We look forward to his return to golf."

Perhaps no one is looking forward to Tiger's return more than the sponsors of the San Diego Open, formerly the Buick Open, at Torrey Pines - the first PGA tour event of the year Woods usually attends.

"It is somewhere between 15 to 25 percent additional income from those tournaments that have Tiger versus those that don't," said Tom Wilson of the San Diego Open.
Tag Heuer makes both men's and women's watches under its Tiger Woods Professional Golf Watch brand. Both men and women now have a diminished view of Tiger Woods because of his sex scandals but a women's Tiger Woods watch is going to be an especially difficult sell going forward.

Kenny Scharf Design Watches for Movado

Kenny Scharf Movado Watches


Movado, a swiss watch brand, partnered with artist Kenny Scarf for a line of limited edition watches. W Magazine reports that the original idea was just for one watch, but Kenny Scharf had lots of good ideas.
It’s no surprise, then, that when Efraim Grinberg, Movado's president and CEO, invited Scharf to trick out the firm's iconic Museum watch, the painter got a bit carried away. Rather than design one timepiece, as Grinberg had suggested, Scharf delivered a slew of ideas. "It was hard, but we narrowed them down to what we thought was a diverse group of offerings," says Grinberg, who purchased Scharf's 1983 painting Brazil after meeting the artist three years ago.
Six different watch designs were created. They will be sold at Movado stores as a set of six for $3,495 and individually for $695. Luxist says the names of the six watches are Movado Time, Blurple Time, Universal Time, Starring the Star, Ontime, and Time Flies.
