Lionel Messi Joins Audemars Piguet as an Ambassador

Lionel Messi joins the world of Audemars Piguet and its 135 years of history. Understandably proud to be welcoming him, Audemars Piguet CEO Philippe Merk salutes the arrival of this exceptional personality who has successively overcome life’s various trials to reach the peak of his art.

Such a life journey was bound to be meaningful to Audemars Piguet Swiss Watches. The 135-year history of the Manufacture has also been punctuated by many obstacles. Audemars Piguet has overcome them and in doing so as acquired the kind of competence it now sees in Lionel Messi. Keenly aware of what such knowledge entails and of the power to effect change that it encompasses, both Lionel Messi and Audemars Piguet are concerned with passing it on to younger generations in preparing for the future. Lionel Messi does so through his new “Fundacíon Leo Messi” created in 2009, and Audemars Piguet through its own foundation. This shared vision will be the driving force behind several social projects that the two partners will be jointly developing over the coming years.

Such is definitely the case for Lionel Messi, who has found a prime partner in Audemars Piguet: “It’s a real joy and a great honour for me to join a prestigious family such as that of Audemars Piguet, which I have long admired. This is the start of a beautiful human adventure based on strong shared values and visions”. Friends of the brands will thus enjoy the tremendous privilege of rubbing shoulders with him at various exclusive events. In joining the Audemars Piguet “family”, Leo Messi thus becomes the first footballer to associate his name with that of a prestigious Swiss watch brand.

So hats off to Mr. Messi, who at the tender age of 22 has managed to achieve a subtle balance between daring and wisdom. We can safely bet that the up and coming generations will acknowledge him as a valuable role model!

Omega Constellation Quadrella Diamond Watch for Lady

Personally, I love watches more than jewels. For a girl, maybe the act is not normal. I don’t know the reason. Each watch which I like will always give me so great surprise. Take the following Omega Constellation Quadrella watch for example, I really appreciate it.

For all ladies, gorgeous colors always have irresistible charm. The first attraction and the most important feature of the Omega Constellation Quadrella is its splendid colors. It is also the reason that so many women like this watch.

The whole watch gives us a strong contrastive feeling: fine polished silver steel case gives a cool and pure feeling. The pure case is decorated by 24 white diamonds. The dial of the Omega Constellation Quadrella is white mother-of-pearl, which is embellished by eight colored stones. The four big Roman markers make the whole watch more elegance rather than keeping monotonous. If we say this Omega Constellation Quadrella includes two tones, the silver steel, the white diamonds and the white MOP dial are cold tone. The warm tone is the red leather strap. As the symbol of passion, Romance, lucky, energy and courage, red is always female’s favorite. The collocation of light and deep color here perfectly interprets the charm of this Omega Swiss Constellation Quadrella.

Cimier Launched Original Watch for Ladies

The watch manufacture Cimier has recently announced its progressive concept watch Ref. 1708. The eye is immediately drawn to its tonneau-shaped case composed of two parts. To open the case, a simple pressure is used.

The most striking thing about the new Cimier watch is that its lower part can be detached from the upper part. Thus, the imposing sporty chronograph can be turned into a graceful timekeeping companion for women.

The Ref. 1708 watch is designed around a Ronda 5021.D quartz movement. It provides a range of useful functions, including hours, minutes, seconds, as well as those of date and chronograph.

The heart of the original lady’s watch beats inside a stainless steel case, which features the dimensions of 36 mm x 34 mm. Embellished with zircons, the case boasts 50-meter water-resistance.

This horological marvel from Cimier is adorned with a black dial, which proudly reveals a sun ray guilloche motif. The display is marked with large Roman numerals.

The new Cimier Ref. 1708 watch is teamed with a black leather strap.
