Retrophilia – The Love of All Things Retro

The word “Retro” implies that something is old fashioned Panerai Fashion Watches. timeless or classic. The word itself is Latin. it is used as a prefix and means ‘backwards’ or ‘in the past’. This application can be seen in words such as “retrospective” meaning a nostalgic view of the past and “retrograde” referring to a movement toward the past rather than progress toward the future. Most people will have heard the word “Retro” associated with the fifties era but it is relevant to a much broader spectrum of cultural. social and artistic applications. To describe something as retro is to assign it a positive label of quirkiness or charisma but also to infer that although it is no longer obtainable it is still highly desirable.

You will find the word “Retro” associated with many areas of popular culture such as fashion マジコン. art. sport. music and erotica. In the 1960’s the usage of the word “Retro” increased when the American Space Program used it to describe a rocket which generates thrust in a direction opposite to that of the spacecraft’s motion in orbit. hence the “retrograde rocket”. Other such examples are “Retro Chic” encompassing old fashioned styles such as poodle skirts from the 1950’s.

Retro Art. also referred to as Retro Clipart Fake Watches. is derived from pop art which was developed in the 1940’s and 1950’s. Retro Art usually refers specifically to advertising artwork created during that period. Printing technology was in it’s infancy at that time and the majority of printed materials were restricted to one colour. It was these limitations that drove professional illustrators to develop a style of artwork which was striking and could be reproduced easily within the restraints of the industry’s technology at that time. The development of retro art was also influenced by the Art Nouveau revolution in France at the turn of the century. Art Nouveau. although disliked by art experts at the time. featured highly simplified drawings. Following this came Russian Constructivism during the Bolshevik Revolution which gave true weight to the trend of graphic simplification and which then contributed to the Art Deco movement in the 1920’s. By the 1930’s professional artists had abandoned line shading techniques such as cross-hatcing and stippling altogether and embraced the style of having pure black or white regions.

Retro music referred commonly to dance music in the U.S. during the 1990’s and was originally known as New Wave music. The advancement of electronic equipment during this era contributed to the popularization of electronic music. a departure from traditional and electromechanical instruments. Although this drove its movement into the mainstream not all dance music at that time was considered Retro music. Dance music and the psychedelic style. trance. psytrance etc. are still very much alive and kicking today. Nowadays. retro music only refers to music from the retro period.

Retro erotica can be classified as modern photography in an older style. This distinguishes it from vintage erotica which is actual period photographs or films. Retro erotica is typically photographic hardcore pornography or non-naked pinup images. It dates from the 1970’s. sometimes earlier and features specific styles of lingerie such as bullet bras. garters or girdles as well as hairstyles. props and makeup from that era.

Retro sports garments are sought after items usually from the 1970’s and 1980’s and include items such as football jackets. jerseys and t-shirts with previous club logos. Their designs usually recall the past by using colour combinations and lines in the sides representative of those periods. One such example is the FIFA World Cup held in Mexico in 1970. Retro sports garments are so popular now that brands including Puma. Nike and Adidas have divisions dedicated to this trend. and not to be excluded from this lucrative market some football. basketball and baseball clubs have also reintroduced their former garments for sale.

In this world of rapidly changing modern technology it is perhaps surprising to learn that retrogaming lace wigs. gaming on vintage computers or vintage game consoles. is fast becoming a popular pastime. Retro gamers are commonly using outdated systems such as Atari 2600. Dreamcast and Nintendo Entertainment System. The Atari 2600 video game console was released in October 1977. It has been credited with promoting the use of microprocessor-based hardware and cartridges which use game code. Actually it was the Fairchild Channel F that first used this format but it was the Atari 2600 which familiarized the gaming world with the plug-in concept.

The desire for a sense of nostalgia. though unsentimental. is the driving force behind all things retro. It links us to specific times and trends in history and reminds us of where we came from. Retro is inspiring. educational and sometimes frivolous. It allows us to reminisce in the comfort of our very modern lives and to explore the trends. technology. fashions and attitudes of the good old days.

In the words of the American poet Walt Whitman (1819-1892) “The Past – the dark unfathomed retrospect! The teeming gulf – the sleepers and the shadows! The past! the infinite greatness of the past! For what is the present after all but a growth out of the past?”

New steps in the renaissance of Vulcain

FEATURES New steps in the renaissance of Vulcain April 19. 2010 By Pierre Maillard The Vulcain brand. whose rebirth started in 2002 Montblanc Fake Watches. is due essentially to the vision of Bernard Fleury. At the end of 2009 Shoes. the brand was acquired by the group. Suisse Excellence Holding. whose portfolio also includes the famous Swiss retailer. Les Ambassadeurs. as well as the small high-end watch brand. Jaermann & StÜbi. Bernard Fleury. as initiator of this renaissance. was not a large shareholder in the brand but he still remains firmly at the commands. This is good news since Fleury has. with discretion. consistency and a large degree of coherence. made the ‘new’ Vulcain a brand with a strong identity whose commercial success is underway.Fleury will now have renewed means for communication that will certainly allow him to confirm this success. This is especially true in the current climate since the proposed pieces offer very interesting price/quality ratios. with prices ranging from 4.000 CHF to 9.000 CHF. Vulcain is also present today in 170 points of sale around the world. which adds to its important advantages in this period of economic uncertainty. First automatic Cricket The majority of the brand’s sales remain nonetheless centred on the watch icon. the Cricket. After the relaunch in 2002. changes have been made to this alarm watch every year. The Cricket first saw the light of day in 1947 but Replica Gerald Genta Watches Watches. up to now. it had always been a manual-winding timepiece. Yet. already in 2002. Bernard Fleury envisioned an automatic Cricket. Moving from a manual-winding to an automatic movement. however. was not as simple as all that. mainly because of how the alarm chime functions. CRICKET X-TREME AUTOMATIC – Titanium and steel In the traditional model. the chime was activated by a hammer that would strike the case back. For the automatic version Watches. it was necessary for the constructors to make major changes in the basic movement. and the result is the calibre V-21 Replica Watches. which has 257 components instead of the manual-winding movement’s 157 parts. For the chime. an arm was added that strikes an anvil supported by a balance-spring stud passing through the centre of the rotor. The entire calibre has a total thickness of only 17.5 mm. Featuring an Exomatic system assuring regular amplitude and thus better precision. equipped with a uni-directional rotor mounted on ball bearings. this new and very finely finished movement also has a new date that can be corrected using a pushbutton located at 10 o’clock. The new Cricket V-21 self-winding movement With its 42-hour power reserve. the new V-21 movement is first being used in the very sporty Cricket X-Treme Accessories. with a 44-mm steel and titanium case. mounted on a vulcanized rubber strap. Water-resistant to 100 metres. it also features a black dial. SuperLuminova hands and markers. as well as a rotating bezel graduated into 60 minutes. The price is 8.000 CHF(Fake Rolex Watches). which. for a rare diver’s alarm watch. is quite well calibrated. To celebrate its anniversary. 300 watches have been created in a limited edition of a titanium and blacked stainless steel case with a black and blue dial. creating a very dramatic effect. CRICKET X-TREME AUTOMATIC – black treated titanium and steel Excellence in after-sales service According to Bernard Fleury. “2009 was a fairly good year for Vulcain. as damage was very limited. notably on the brand’s traditional Asian markets.” This was also confirmed to us by Geneva retailer(Wholesale Swiss Army Watches). Denis Asch Oris Watches. who has been loyal to the brand since its rebirth. Vulcain’s good commercial standing Fashion Watches.” explains Asch(Blancpain Replica Watches). “is not only because of its authenticity and its good price positioning. but also because of the excellence of its after-sales service. This service is rapid—ten days on average—and the cost is quite correct. which is. by far Fake Watches. not the case for all watchmakers.” Source: replica watches April – May 2010 Magazine Issue
