TAG Heuer’s New Additions to the Link Watch Collection for Fall

tag heuer link watch CAT7010.BA0952TAG Heuer’s ever-popular Link collection is getting an update for the fall season. The Link collection, first introduced in 1987, has easily become one of TAG Heuer’s top selling models with its ergonomic design that combines a sporty yet classic aesthetic. The Link watches have a sleek-streamlined look that is characterized by the unique, s-shaped links on the watch bracelet. This elegant feature alone allows these watches to rise above the label of “just another sports watch.”
For the most part, the new series of Link watches to be released this fall are a more refined version of the Link watches that came out in 2007. The brush textured s-shaped links on the bracelet have lost their rounded look to give the bracelet a more contoured appearance. The case has also been brush-finished with a fixed rather than rotating bezel and shorted lugs on the side of the case.
The new Link series with have either a Swiss, mechanical, or TAG Heuer’s Calibre S movement with a chronograph function. The white or black dials will now have a guilloche texture with slightly thinner markers. The Link watches will be primarily available in stainless steel, but there will be a two-tone yellow gold model as well. All models will have a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with double sided anti-reflective treatment.

King Jewelers Is Pleased To Announce 100th Anniversary In 2012

king jewelers 100th anniversary
The King Family has been setting the standard for jewelry trends since 1912
Aventura, FL (September 20, 2011) – King Jewelers—South Florida’s premier jeweler of integrity since 1912, is proud to announce their 100th Anniversary. The retail landmark founded by Louis King in 1912, has been the personal jeweler to many generations of South Florida families. At King Jewelers, the family incorporates a no-pressure sales approach. The primary objective is to match the client with the perfect piece of jewelry that suits there style and personality. King Jewelers carries price points for every budget and for all occasions.
King Jewelers cherishes the loyalty and longevity of their customer relationships. Recently, the store sold an engagement ring to the son of a customer whose entire family has been shopping at King Jewelers since 1946. “My parents and their parents all purchased their engagement rings here. I couldn’t think of trusting anyone more than the Kings,” said Aventura resident Robert Goldstein.
scott king of king jewelersSince 1912 the company has been family owned and operated. Born in Miami Beach, Scott King literally grew up in his family’s store. Nevertheless, when Scott King went off to college in the late ’60s, he had no intention of going into the family business. After graduating, at his father’s request, he returned to Miami Beach to lend a hand. That was more than 40 years ago, and he has been continuing the family legacy ever since. Scott assumed the role of president in 1986 and has since risen to become CEO and one of the most respected authorities on diamonds, precious stones and estate jewelry in the Southeastern United States. A gemologist, throughout his career, Scott King has dedicated himself and the resources of King Jewelers to the design and manufacturing of diamond, platinum and gold creations that represent the perfect marriage of quality, craftsmanship and value.
 
For more than 30 years, Scott’s wife, Maxine, has served as the company’s jewelry buyer and current president. Always in search of unique and fashion-forward jewelry creations, Maxine brings the hottest European trends to South Florida before anyone else seems to find it. Maxine has been known not only as a woman of glamour and style but most importantly for the way she makes her clients feel – special. Her friendly smile and warm and bubbly personality makes shopping at King Jewelers a comfortable and fun experience. According to husband Scott, “Maxine puts herself in the client’s shoes and makes them feel comfortable about their purchase.”
david kingScott represents the fourth generation of Kings to own and operate the family business, and he’s currently watching a fifth generation gain continued success in the business. “I want my sons to be their own men, with the conviction to pursue their own individual dreams; however, I’ve always hoped those dreams would lead them back to King Jewelers. So yes, when David decided he wanted to carry on the tradition, I was thrilled, but I’m not ready to hang up my loop yet.” Following graduation from the University of Pennsylvania, and a Wall Street tour with Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan, David returned to Miami to join the family business.
jono kingBy 2004, David, currently the Director of Business Development, relocated King Jewelers with his parents to Aventura, FL and opened an exclusive men’s salon and timepiece boutique to compliment the extraordinary ladies jewelry collections. Upon graduating from law school, Jono King joined the family business in 2005, and is now the CFO of King Jewelers.
The King family decided to expand their regional presence in the Southeast as they celebrated the grand opening of a second King Jewelers location in Nashville, TN in late 2008. David King runs the show at the Nashville store, located at 4121 Hillsboro Road in the Green Hills shopping area.
Today the King family continues to work together. Scott, the CEO of the 100-year-old King Jewelers, is the landmark designer and wholesaler of fine jewelry and diamonds for the five generation family run business. Regarded as South Florida’s top appraiser, Scott is the expert gemologist of choice for major insurance companies for replacements and valuations. Included in the prestigious Top 100 Young Executives in the U.S. and Who’s Who of Leading American Executives, he’s the youngest member ever voted into the Diamond Club of Antwerp. He is also a member of the Appraiser’s Associate of America, Independent Appraiser Association of America, American Gem Trade Association, and Diamond Dealer’s Club of Florida, and an affiliate member of the New York Diamond Club.
And that, according to Scott King, is what the legacy of King Jewelers is all about – selection, value, exclusivity, and above all, a 100-year commitment to quality and exceptional customer service. When the King’s are not working, you can usually find them enjoying time together boating, dining, traveling, or attending sporting events.
King Jewelers is located at 18265 Biscayne Boulevard in Aventura, Florida. For more information, please call (305) 935-4900 or visit www.kings1912.com.

The watch has two screw-down crowns and a screw-down case back. Like any proper diving watch, the Hublot Oceanographic 4000 is outfitted with a helium valve to help adjust the watch pressure upon ascending to the surface by safely released the gases accumulated at great diving depths.

Bell & Ross BR01 Casino Roulette Radar Watch


Bell & Ross announced what their contribution will be to the Only Watch charity auction in September. The BR01 Casino watch is modeled in design after the disc system used on Bell & Ross’s Radar watch, but the dial is stylized with a brown and pink gold casino roulette wheel. Bell & Ross opted for this motif as a reference to where the auction will take place, the Casino of Monaco.
The “0” on the outside disc of the roulette wheel indicates the hours, while the roulette ball on the inner disc shows the minutes. The center disc acts as the second hands and rotates with the passing of time. This innovative disc system will help the Bell & Ross BR01 Casino watch to stand out among a selection of extraordinary timepieces.
Bell & Ross will be releasing a second BR01 Casino watch available to the public in a limited series. This watch will feature the red and green coloring of the standard roulette wheel and have a black carbon case. This watch will be available in October at the Monaco, Las Vegas, and Macau casinos.
Bell & Ross will present the first edition of the BR01 Casino Watch at the Only Watch auction, alongside timepieces from forty other luxury watch brands. The auction will be run by one of the most famous watch auctioneers, Antiquorum.

Old School Style: Choosing a Vintage Engagement Ring

Vintage engagement rings have an unmistakable air of classic romance. It could be the delicate filigree or the slightly off-color diamonds that inspire such feelings of nostalgia, but these details will insure that a vintage engagement ring will be unique above all else. The selection of a vintage-style ring shows the love of your life as the exceptional person that she is.
Vintage or antique generally refers to a ring that is older than fifty years. When purchasing an antique engagement ring, there are a few things to keep in mind. The Gemological Institute of America’s diamond grading scale for color and clarity wasn’t developed until 1952 so standards for diamonds were very different before this time. Vintage diamonds often have inclusions or slight coloration, and often feature unusual cuts. Be sure to check the quality of the diamond before you purchase it to make sure that the diamond doesn’t have any weak spots or fractures that may cause it to chip.
A true vintage engagement ring may not be for everyone. Because of their age, these rings often require special care and maintenance and may not be able to withstand the rigors of daily wear. It is recommended that a vintage ring not be worn with another ring on the same finger as the friction between the two might damage any filigree or carved details the vintage ring might have.
However, there is a way to get the best of both worlds. It is possible to have an engagement ring with all of the Hollywood glamour of an antique design and the solidity of modern metalwork. Many luxury jewelry designers today have added a selection of vintage-inspired mountings to their bridal collections. If this is the route you decide to take, here are the details to look for in a ring to help you stick to an era:

Victorian Engagement Rings (1835 – 1900)

Victorian engagement ring

The Victorian era is named for Queen Victoria of England, who came to the throne in 1837. Rings from this period often feature natural elements such as floral designs or animals and other romantic symbols. Queen Victoria herself had a serpent-shaped engagement ring from Prince Albert. These engagement rings were also set with several rows of mine-cut diamonds in yellow or rose gold. The Asscher-cut diamond was developed in Amsterdam in 1902 and cushion-cut diamonds were the popular choice for engagement rings for the duration of the early 1900’s.

Edwardian Engagement Rings (1900 – 1920)

edwardian engagement ring

King Edward, the person whom this era was named after, came to the English throne in 1901. Edwardian-style rings are primarily made of white gold or platinum with beautiful filigree, which is a lace-like carved design. The design elements often included scroll-work, milgrain, foil, hearts, flowers, and metal beading. Engagement rings from this time featured sapphire accents or rose-cut diamonds. The round-cut diamond was developed by Marcel Tolkwsky in 1919.

Art Deco Engagement Rings (1920 – 1930)

art deco engagement ring

Art Deco rings are dominated by highly geometric designs with softer filigree accents. Art Deco rings generally feature a center stone with smaller gemstone accents of contrasting colors and incorporated into leaf-like and floral patterns. These chic designs with their streamlined look are currently the most popular choice for vintage-style engagement rings.
King Jewelers offers an exceptional selection of stunning engagement rings, wedding bands, eternity bands, cufflinks, watches, and other wedding accessories. Please visit www.kings1912.com for more information on engagement rings and bridal accessories.
