As a lady, (who is not a professional athlete, an aviator, or a scientist) I personally attach far more importance to the appearance designs than the professional functions of a watch. And this is simply why I totally fall for the house of Piaget, who keeps stunning me with its masterpiece. Don’t get me wrong, since I’m not saying Piaget doesn’t perform greatly in functions of watches, and I just mean from them you can see how gorgeous a timepiece can be. Its Limelight collection is just a fabulous example, demonstrating extravagant femininity and refinement, and reflecting Piaget’s rich expertise in both horology and jewelry. Here I’ve picked three of them to show you how Piaget stuns us.
Seen from a certain distance, the first model here just looks like a breathtaking jewelry bracelet sparkling with all those stones, which turn out to be 43 carats of diamonds, but in fact it is a watch. The timepiece just can’t stop glittering, due to the five alternating rows of 168 baguette-cut diamonds and 235 brilliant-cut diamonds. And every line has pear-cut diamond at the tip. You can read the time from the white mother-of-pearl dial. Then the 18K white gold case disappears beneath the bracelet. Animating the watch is the Piaget 56P quartz movement.
The second one is indeed also rather special-looking, resembling a zip left open to show a delicate seductive cleavage of skin. The watch shines with over 100 brilliant-cut diamonds and trapeze-shaped black spinels. Crafted in 18K white gold, the case is adorned with baguette-cut diamonds, showing an incredible technical accomplishment. The diamonds are actually placed not next to, but right on the sapphire crystal to create the continuity effect between the case and the dial. The heart beating inside is the Piaget 56P quartz movement.
The third model from the Limelight line is indeed reflecting the best traditions of Haute Horlogerie and Haute Joaillerie. The case is crafted in 18K white gold, glittering with 94 baguette-cut diamonds of 36 different sizes that fit the shape of the case perfectly. It’s also got an mother-of-pearl dial and a gem-set case-back. In addition, the oscillating weight is decorated with gems. And running the timepiece is Piaget self-winding Calibre 881P.
And first here we get a long list of names, among which are Roger Moore, Elizabeth Taylor, Princess Diana, Michael Jackson, Prince Rainier and Grace Kelly, David Niven, Peter Sellers… It could go on and on, so intimately tied is the history of the Greengo, the Gstaad Palace’s legendary night club, to the worldwide renown of the Swiss resort.
Greengo now turns 40. In order to celebrate the event, the Gstaad Palace and Hublot Watches have teamed up to create a Big Bang in the iconic colors of the club – with a Black Magic base featuring the two famous green and orange colors – in an edition of just 40 pieces (for 40 years), available only from the Gstaad Palace. Our nod to history: the Greengo logo takes its place on the dial instead of the index at 8 o’clock or at 40 mins, standing for the 40 years of legendary parties. The debut of this watch is on 7 January 2011; at the Greengo, quite naturally, in fact! And of course, it is accompanied an epic, glorious celebration.

Rolex has been presented us with superb pieces of artwork. Personally I don’t find any watch brand can ever surpass Rolex in reputation, recognizability, watch design and manufacturing. Rolex provide watches for both men and women. You can find the different aspects in the Rolex items – precision, technology, exquisiteness, or fascination. But no matter what styles you choose, the Rolex watches are all of supreme quality. This time, we encounter the marvelous Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust Ladies Diamond 31 mm watches.

As to the bezels, the new Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust Ladies Diamond 31 mm watches provide two different bezels: fluted bezel or domed bezel with 24(or 46) diamonds inlayed, to be show-off or be low-key, it depends on you.
Decorated by diamonds, the “6” (or “VI”) scales on Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust Ladies Diamond 31 mm watch dials are very vivid.

Authentic designer watches are something chic that people use to flaunt their fashion taste and luxurious lifestyle in front of their families and friends. Nowadays, you can freely choose from a variety of luxury watches in different styles, colors, sizes, etc of any reputable brands. Since they’re surprising expensive, a lot of people are afraid to get fake or replica ones that are really not worth the amount they paid for them. We have to admit that the business of replica watches is booming, so it is really hard to spot them. This post targets the topic of where to shop for genuine luxury watches and how to avoid from being cheated or scammed.
First, the most fast and convenient place to buy is eBay and online stores. You can find exquisite and unique styles and designs online by simply click in front of your computer. There is no need to go out for shopping from store to store, and what’s more, you can directly get your watch package by express delivery. The only thing you should to do is prepare a big amount of cash. Most of the time, the people who sells designer timepieces on eBay are honest. If you are not sure the reliability of the sellers, you are strongly recommended to check their ranking and customer feedback. Compared to the original authorized stores, they may offer a discount for you. While, pay attention, if they give a big discount, and the timepiece only costs a fraction of the original one, you’d better check whether it is the second-hand or the poor fake one. So it is better if you have a little knowledge about the item you want to buy. That can help you identify the poor quality one.
Second, if you want to leave far away from the problems that online shopping may bring, you’d better go around the local original authorized luxury stores. They always offer perfect service and quality warranty for any customers. They only thing you have to bear in mind is that do check your truly favorable one according to your own personality and fashion taste. Do remember only buy the one that just meet your needs. If you have no idea about the current fashion trend, buying the item with classic and timeless style would be better. Since the fashion industry can change day by day, the one in vogue today may be the outdated someday.
Finally, hope you have a pleasant purchasing experience.
