Omega

Legendary Celebrity Wristwatch

August 14th, 2008

Ladies, wanna be as glamorous as Jackie Kennedy, then wear Jackie’s signature Cartier Tank. Gents, you want to be as fierce as James Bond, won’t you like Rolex 6538 or 5508 on your wrist?

Celebrities are the ones that sell this particular product better than anyone else in the world. It is about prestige. Brad Pitt and Uma Thurman are excellent example of Tag Heuer’s faces.

Nicole Kidman is Omega’s signature face

Glamorous starlets are keeping time with the trend. More and more stylish Hollywood girls appear nowadays wearing men’s watches that turned into more feminine accessory. They might look not as elegant as this Cartier…

But there is something so bold into it, they just look very cool. Kim Kardashian knows what she’s doing. She’s wearing Timex.

Paris Hilton has even had her own watch collection made back in 2005.

Here is my chic choice of wristwatches.

Longines Evidenza Ladies Wristwatch also called Audrey Hepburn

Longines established its first factory in Switzerland in 1897, but can trace its roots back to 1832. It is world renowned for producing elegant and technically superior timepieces, and for being associated with legendary pioneers that include aviator Charles Lindbergh. Longines produces high-quality watches with both quartz and mechanical movements.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Lady-Datejust

But above all, of course, I call the new Rolex Oyster Perpetual Lady-Datejust in 18ct Pink Gold with Diamond-set Mother-of-Pearl Dial.

The unique hue of Rolex Everose gold works in perfect harmony with the solid steel to lend a specific personality to the Rolesor watch. In the 18ct Everose gold alloy developed by Rolex, a touch of platinum is added to lock in the copper, and thus the colour. Its enduring beauty is a true delight.

The Oyster Perpetual Lady-Datejust combines the prestigious elegance of a ladies’ watch with the most exclusive materials. It is available in steel, Rolesor, 18ct gold or platinum.

This is the next Bond girl’s watch, don’t you think?

Fancy and expensice is chic if there’s taste… No matter how sophisticated Rolex brand is, sometimes even their designers make mistakes by overdosing the diamonds. Below is what I call bad taste. Not elegant.
