STAR OF CHANEL

Posted by admin | Posted in Chanel Watches, watch | Posted on 28-07-2010

ANNA MOUGLALIS, the star of new biopic Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky, described Karl Lagerfeld as an invaluable resource in helping shape her role as Coco – despite his less than favourable reviews.

“When I discussed this with Karl he was very keen for me to show Coco’s humour but that was something the director didn’t want to do,” said Mouglalis. “For him nothing can be precise enough. This film is just one interpretation and shows a certain point of view. I didn’t even have to ask for his help though – he relayed anecdotes about Coco, showed me the archives and lent me some beautiful dresses.”

The French actress, who has worked with Chanel for eight years and is currently the face of the label’s Fine Jewellery, said that she feels as if she has been preparing for her role for years without even knowing it – but never dreamed she would ever end up playing the fashion legend.

“Because of the years of work I have done for Chanel I felt I could bring so much to the film – of course it was a huge part to take on but I was just so enthusiastic about it all,” she said. “I then read everything I could find on her, I studied videos and text and read lots of Colette just so I could get a feel for the era.”

How does she think this latest film compares to Audrey Tautou’s Coco Before Chanel?

“I was one of the first to see the Tautou’s version,” she said. “I’m crazy about it but I can’t watch it as a spectator because I have worked with Chanel for so long – we have history. Both films are about different parts of Chanel’s life – Coco Before Chanel was about her building herself up, this film is about the woman she always wanted to be.”

Mouglalis is sceptical as to whether Coco herself would have been a fan of the film.

“There were three different biography’s written about Chanel and I think by the end of her life she hated them all,” she said. “In the same way there will be different interpretations of her life on film and I’m not sure which one would have been to her taste. She was such a complex woman.”

Chopard is proud to be once again partner of the Ennstal-Classic in 2010. This involvement is sign of Chopard’s relationship with the world of classic cars and its profound respect for sporting excellence driven by passion and precision. Chopard knows that the mechanics of a car and a watch are quite similar. The play of the pistons or that of the hands, the only difference is the dimension. Therefore Chopard is launching an exclusive chronograph available in two limited and numbered editions (20 in stainless steel and 5 in 18-carat rose gold): the Ennstal-Classic watch 2010.

The case is water-resistant to 100 metres and fitted with a bezel bearing a tachometer scale, as well as a screw-lock crown and integrated pushers controlling the chronograph functions.

The Ennstal Classic 2010 is equally impeccable from a technical standpoint. Its mechanical self-winding movement beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hertz). Chronometer-certified by the COSC, it features a 46-hour power reserve which drives the hour, minute, date, small seconds functions, as well as the chronograph and its central seconds hand, along with 30-minute and 12-hour counters.

QUINCY JONES VISITS THE MANUFACTURE AUDEMARS PIGUET

Posted by admin | Posted in Audemars Piguet watches, watch | Posted on 15-07-2010

Thursday July 8th 2010 – Le Brassus (Switzerland)  – On the eve of the traditional Swiss watch industry vacation, a very special guest and above all a longtime friend came to salute the remarkable work of the watchmakers in the Manufacture Audemars Piguet. During his visit, the legendary multi-talented artist, trumpeter, composer and producer Quincy Jones, discovered the manufacturing secrets of Audemars Piguet timepieces and in particular those of the watch bearing his name, the Millenary Quincy Jones, which was presented at the SIHH 2010.

 Before the workshop tour, Audemars Piguet Art Director Octavio Garcia recalled the fruitful work undertaken with the famous musician in creating the Millenary Quincy Jones, a watch featuring resolutely contemporary lines and a sophisticated design playing on nuances and subtle contrasts between brilliant and satin-polished surfaces echoing the notes on the keyboard of a piano, an instrument dear to the artist’s heart.

 Throughout this radiantly sunny day, Quincy Jones admired the work of these skilled watchmaking artisans, commenting that “these men and women really impress me by their precision and the expertise they display in shaping these timeless gems. They are great creative talents and passionately dedicated artists, just like those for whom I serve as producer.”

 For several years, Audemars Piguet and this exceptional individual have been associated in developing “Project Q”, aimed at raising political and public awareness of young people’s need for self-expression and the means that must be provided to ensure they fulfil their true potential. The cornerstone of “Project Q” is the “Q Prize”, an international award presented by Audemars Piguet and honouring a public figure or social organisation having played a central role on behalf of children. Through his Quincy Jones Foundation, the artist is also committed to helping children by improving their well-being, their health and their dignity. The new Millenary Quincy Jones watch will contribute to raising funds for this foundation.

 Know-how, artistic passion and empathy… Such shared values were bound to further strengthen the ties between this music legend and the famous Swiss watch manufacturer.

 In speaking of the man behind the foundation, Audemars Piguet CEO Philippe Merk said: “Quincy Jones is not only an amazing artist and a daring entrepreneur, but above all a man with a big heart. One cannot help admiring his career, especially considering the difficulties he encountered during his childhood. He gives us an important life lesson and naturally inspires profound respect.”

 Before returning to Montreux where he will present his new “Quincy Jones & the Global Gumbo All Stars” ensemble, this informal yet highly emotional visit paid to the Manufacture will remain engraved in the memory of the company and its personnel. Much like the master-watchmakers who have been steadily forging the reputation of Audemars Piguet for the past 135 years, Quincy Jones has been shaping the history of music for several decades already.
