Sports Watches Become Masterpieces of Art
The demand for luxurious and very expensive watches gives birth to remarkable supplies. The combinations that seemed to be an inconceivable kitsch before today decorate wrists: watches for divers with tourbillon Alain Silberstein, a very large mena€™s watch coated with diamonds and with 6 dials IceLink, sports chronographs with rubber straps and a case done in pink gold with carbonic insertions Hublot and Cvstos and etc.
Last year was a triumph for the style bling-bling A?A€A“ watches are generously decorated with precious stones and the rich buyers from the USA, Asia and oil-producing countries willingly pay for the combination of high watch quality and jewellery art. This year diamonds has begun to conquer sports models.
Real sports watches of XXI century are electronic chronographs with a great amount of functions that can help to calculate calories and to change the regime of training according to medical indexes. Of course all this is uninteresting and not very beautiful. But sport can be different: admirers of extreme tourism dona€™t need to blind taiga bears with dazzling diamonds, however it is an obligatory accessory in the swimming pool of a luxurious fitness club. We present you those watches that attract people while doing any sport even if you are out of form.
TAG Heuer is the company that is closely connected with sport. The legendary chronographs Carrera and Monaco specially created for golf players became a visit card of the brand. For women the company presents watches decorated with diamonds and pearl ones that combine elegance with sports spirit and desire to win. The ambassadors of the brand are famous artists and sportsmen: Brad Pitt and Uma Thurman, Kimi Raikkonen and Tiger Woods. The tennis star Maria Sharapova is an official ambassador of ladiesA?A€A™ series of quartz watches Aquaracer and Formula 1 Lady Glamour Diamonds, by the way she took part in the creation of the latter. A case done in polished steel, a tissue strap, a pearl or patent dial and 120 diamonds present elegance, sport is in its water resistance to 200 m and its origin from menA?A€A™s series Formula 1. A ladiesA?A€A™ model Aquaracer has a steel bracelet, a pearl dial, high water resistance to 300 m and of course diamonds.
The company Audemars Piguet has presented a limited series Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph for fans of the famous basketball player Shakil Oa€™Neill. The version done in white gold will be limited to 96 timepieces, all the money from sales (about $ 3 million) will go to the charitable fund of Shakil OA?A€A™Neill. The model has a massive case which diameter is 48 mm and a new automatic movement. Calibre 3126/3840, the version done in white gold is
decorated with 32 diamonds. A basketball player throwing the ball to the basket and the word SHAQ are enchased on the back case. The red numbers 3 and 2 that changed their places A?A€A“ the personal number of Shakil are the most noticeable. The large watch for large people: they accept orders and supplies are expected by the end of 2007.
When we speak about sports watches with diamonds we cana€™t but mention about the famous collection of Chopard A?A€A“ Happy Sport. This elegant ladiesA?A€A™ watch has one important feature A?A€A“ large diamonds a€?swima€? between sapphire glass and a dial. The version Happy Beach with a€?swimminga€? fish and dolphins under a dial will fit those who adore to sunbathe on the beach and this watch will perfectly look around exotic fishes. However you should not forget that sport of the watch is relative: water resistance to 30 m wonA?A€A™t allow you to dive but it is enough to swim with a mask.
The star of Hublot has appeared recently, but it is very bright. The combination of the massive gold case of Big Bang, precious stones on the basel, technological carbonic dials, rubber straps and ideal automatic movements won the appreciation not only of yachtmen. Fusion, the combination of different styles is a visit card of Hublot. New models of 2007: Cappucino Gold with a 44 m case done in pink gold with a basel decorated with 114 diamonds, a chocolate carbonic dial and a brown and chocolate rubber strap will perfectly match the Mediterranean tan of a yachtman, and the model Portocervo with a 41 mm case done in pink gold with diamonds on the basel has a white dial and a white rubber strap that will create a perfect contrast to the tan of the captainA?A€A™s girlfriend.
And finally we cana€™t forget about the possibility of an individual watch decoration: both producers and independent jewellery companies offer such services. If a client wants they may decorate with diamonds a professional pilot watch Breitling Emergency or a military watch Panerai.
