The Festive (Sales) Season – Xmas in Australia – A new Watch to take on Holidays to be Cool when it is Hot?

February 15. 2006

By Martin Foster

One of the fashion mags declared that Australians buy watches to be cool with the best but this is exclusively a fashion notion. As Australians begin lapping up the summer sun. the Bureau of Meteorology has found there was no shortage of heat rays last year. with 2005 declared the warmest in history. It hasn’t stopped there either as on New Years Day 2006 the mercury topped 46 deg C at Sydney Airport and 44 deg C in the city.The pre-Christmas sales tempo has been warming as well and this first appeared as a plethora of high-end Swiss brands ads in the January edition of the glossy life-style oriented Sydney Magazine which beats its competitors to the streets by appearing on the newsstands in mid-December. Within the first twelve pages appear full-page ads for Roger Dubuis. Girard-Perregaux. Jaeger-LeCoultre. TAG Heuer followed later with Georg Jensen. Hermitage Diamonds. Montblanc and Cartier on the back cover. Together with some smaller watch and jewellery ads these high-end brands together account for more than 10% of the 80 pages.Perhaps this is a further indicator that the pressure is increasing for sales of quality products from the major brand stables and targeting the people with the money to spend. To test the theory we spoke to Christina Bush. proprietor of Facetti Jewellery located in Sydney’s exclusive north shore suburb of Mosman. With only moderate expectations. Facetti’s December sales were up a huge 30% in jewellery (watches having been temporarily dropped six months prior to discourage the regular hold-ups). Facetti’s proprietor Christina Bush says “This may have been a one-off result involving other factors but gratifying nonetheless.”None of the retailers we spoke to was disappointed with the pre-Christmas sales period but none could match the Mosman Facetti phenomenon. Parker Time in Hunters Hill reported a small increase in December business but more as a Christmas day cut-off to allow holiday arrangements to proceed on time. We heard the same answer from Bauman Watchmakers and Jewellers in Neutral Bay. And this may be part of the answer concerning a repositioned December as a trend rather than a failure of mass marketing.The Australian holiday season is late December to late February and even before the Sydney harbour New Years Eve fireworks are behind us. a whole new network of events swings into action. The cruise ships start arriving and disgorging visitors for the Sydney Festival season.For three weeks every January Fake Watches. Sydney comes alive to festival atmosphere and residents and visitors alike delight in an exciting and exhilarating arts extravaganza of music. dance. performing and visual arts. The Sydney Festival takes over the city with events in venues such as the Sydney Opera House. Museum of Contemporary Art. Art Gallery of NSW. Royal Botanic Gardens. Queen Victoria Building. Town Hall. St James Church. Darling Harbour to name just a few.That is followed hard upon by Summer events and the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras festival which takes place at the end of summer each year. Its still hot enough to get your gear off but it’s also timed at the end of the summer tourist season. This festival kicks off in early February and reaches its climax with the parade on the first Saturday in March at 8pm. And with the Mardi Gras comes the Pink Dollar.Gay and lesbian households control an estimated annual disposable income of A$10bn (approximately 6.2 billion euros). As a market force Replica Watches Fake Blancpain Watches Watches. gays spend proportionately more on clothing(Wholesale Paris Hilton Watches). entertainment. grooming. financial services Ed Hardy Shirts. drink. travel Replica Lamborghini Watches. music. jewellery. watches and cars.So what has this to do with watches? In fact a great deal because in the weeks before Christmas the Swiss majors with luxury products to sell are already cashing in on the herd instinct to buy for the festive season and the high quality targeted promotions quite rightly kick off with the traditional Christmas celebrations. But as the ships arrive bringing the holidaymakers Best Watches. both gay and straight(Fashion Cartier Watches). then they are making sure that they are well positioned to sell their share of beautiful things to people who are right ready to buy and do it with class.So should we be surprised that these fine brands are into the well-targeted glossies and getting their exclusive luxury products in front of us at every page-turn? It would indeed be very surprising if they did not!

Ulysse Nardin Jungle Minute Repeater watch

The Ulysse Nardin Jungle Minute Repeater watch is an incredible timepiece that unites the disciplines of haute horlogerie and the sensibility of a rare art form to offer a unified expression of rare beauty.  The horological expertise embodied within the minute repeater mechanism is one of the great challenges of classical watchmaking. and places severe demands upon the watchmaker. as its complex structure of toothed racks and cams must translate the position of the hands into a coordinated series of perfectly tuned strike sequences that indicate the hour Rado Replica Watches. quarter hour Jacob & Co. Replica Watch. and minute. upon meticulously tuned gongs. 

So(Daniel Roth Wristwatch). too. the ancient art of Cloisonne enameling requires the utmost in dedicated craftsmanship and artistic sensitivity.  Involving the technique of producing a miniature artwork in fine gold thread which is then filled in with powdered or liquid enamels of various colors. and then baked layer upon layer. the Cloisonne technique is exceptionally difficult to execute without destructive errors; Ulysse Nardin has carefully cultivated the skills of an elite cadre of artisans Replica Watches. led by Michel Vermot. who still practice this remarkable technique. which requires literally dozens of hours to produce a single finished dial.  The dial of the Jungle Minute Repeater watch requires devotion even beyond what is normally involved. as its unique design which replicates the depth and rich colors of the jungle requires a vast delineation of colors and shapes. which include flowers Replica . trees Replica Watch. animals. and water. 

The unique three-dimensionality of this dial is remarkable. and when viewed as a whole it depicts a mysterious jungle scene in which a tiger. a fish. and a hornbill all interact together. while a rhinoceros drinks from a sparkling stream which flows by. Perhaps most remarkable is the way in which the Ulysse Nardin Jungle Minute Repeater watch animates the crystalline chimes of the minute repeater; for when the minute repeater slide is pulled(Breguet Watches Replica). the jungle quite literally comes to life.  For each hour that is struck by the hammers of the repeater. the tiger’s paw moves up and down. while the high-low alternating tones of the quarter hours are marked by a physical dialogue between the hornbill(IWC Watches). who bobs his head. and the tiger Replica Seiko Watch. who continues to move his paw. 

Finally. the individual peals of the minutes are accompanied by the hornbill Replica Handbags. who again bobs his head in exact correspondence with the chimes.  There is no small seconds hand—instead Franck Muller Replica Watches. that indication is charmingly represented by a fish Replica Watches. which can be seen gliding down the waterfall. whenever the watch is running.  The masterful manually wound movement of the Ulysse Nardin Jungle Minute Repeater watch can be examined fully through the exhibition sapphire caseback; the fine Lemania-based UN-71 movement glitters with its fine hand embellishments–"Cotes de Geneve" decoration. anglage finishing. and finely polished repeater hammers and steel swan neck spring can all be readily admired Replica Bag Wholesale. and testify to the immense effort lavished by Ulysse Nardin in the creation of this very special watch.  Only a few of the 18 piece edition of the Ulysse Nardin Jungle Minute Repeater watch remain available. presented in a 38.5mm 18K yellow gold case; the platinum edition has long since sold out. snapped up by passionate collectors who reserved their watches well in advance.
