Jacob & Co Style Lights Up American Idol
By Michael W. Smith on March 5, 2010
We're down to the final 20 contestants of American Idol 2010. No it's not been the most entralling competition so far, and to be honest it's been pretty week on the watch front. Disappointing considering the vast collection that Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell own, but last night as the final 10 guys sung for survival Simon wore a white shirt, unbuttoned very low and sported a rather fetching rose gold Tourbillion. We couldn't tell the brand so if…

When Watches Go Green
By John McLaughlin on March 3, 2010
Whatever the climate-change sceptics say, going green, (or at least waving in a vaguely hopeful way in the direction of greenness), is no longer a choice for watchmakers or for anyone else in the corporate world.

Brand History: Baume & Mercier
By John McLaughlin on March 2, 2010
If there were a patent on classic style - understated, elegant and almost painfully averse to the dangerous allure of the passing fad – then Baume & Mercier would be among those first in line to capture it.This is not to say it is stuffy, simply that its extravagances are less about new departures than what they might add to the evolution of an established stye. The dodecagonal bezel of the Riviera is about as out there as B&M gets.…

When Watch Brands Head to the Movies
By John McLaughlin on February 24, 2010
There is a theory, among some marketing and sponsorship folk, that the movie star is an inherently safer bet than the sporting god when it comes to choosing an ambassador for the brand.The theory goes that the truly great movie stars have an on-screen persona of such power that it transcends grubby reality and whatever revelation some grubby tabloid chooses to spring on an unsuspecting public. Not so sports stars when they prove to have feet of…
