Watch Quiz 001

Watch Quiz 001

1. What is the watch that they have an expensive and important feature that is nice to have but you will never LIKE to use it!?

The Breitling has remade his Emergency Watch.

And it is a serious upgrade that extends the effective range of the alert beacon, putting it on a second frequency more likely to be picked up… and thus get you saved.

The Breitling Emergency is a wristwatch with build on homing beacon. A broadcastr device that, when active. Send our a serious of signal that will alwrt the Breitlign offices in your home country that it has been triggered. Breitling will presume that this is a serious situation, and will notify the rescue authorities in your area. It is then up to the authorities to come effect the rescue. (Breitling does not have SWAT team standing b in their boutiques; they will tell the government people, and the government people come to get you) .

The Breitling Emergency first debuted 21 years ago 1995, which was designed for Pilot, it was a great leap for Breitling. It worked as a time pieces and flight calculator, as well a SOS calling device at Emergency!

Well, did the MH370 pilot worn Breitling Emergency, is Lee Kar Shing wearing this when he went out alone overseas, probably he never been overseas in fear of kidnapping! LOL!

 

 

2. What was the original icon of Rolex “Crown” was intended to show?

Palm, the shape of the watchsmith hand! Only after years they become Crown of the King to tell it is.

 

3. What was the first design objective for jaeger LeCoultre Reverso 86 years ago!?

To have the crystal protected from Scratches and breakage playing Polo. .... see more below

A Swiss businessman and watch collector Cesar De Trey was travelling t India for business and attended a polo match at a club of British Army officers. There, D Try encountered a British officer who had just broken the glass of his watch during a particularly “enthusiastic” polo game.

Why the officer needed to wear his watch while playing polo? He might not know. But upon hearing of De Trey credentials, the officer promptly engaged the businessman in conversation and challenged De Trey to create a Watch that could resist the particular rigors of a typical polo match. Thus, the idea of the Reverso was born.

Upon returning of Switzerland, Cesar De Try immediately consulted with Jacques-David LeCoultre, the the nower of Le-Coultre manufacture, for a timepiece that could somehow he turned front to back so as to be shielded from the impact of a polo mallet.

 

4. How did Hans Wilsdorf, founder of Rolex develop the name “Rolex”?

1881 – Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of Rolex is born in Bavaria, Germany, he wanted his watches to bear a name that was short like five letters, easy to say and remember in any language, and which looked good on watch movements and dials. He said, “I tried combining the letters of the alphabet in every possible way. This gave me some hundred names, but none of them felt quite right. One morning, while riding on the upper deck of a horse-drawn omnibus along Cheapside in the City of London, a genie whispered ‘Rolex’ in my ear.”

 

5. What is Rolex brand value?

USD 8.3 billion (As of May, 2015 – Forbes Magazine)

Information herein is coming from personal studies on Watch and internet searching... may not be 100% true, but that is why we want correction if there is and that would be a great value to us and followers of HK watch fever Blog

Elizabeth Taylor and Cleopatra

Elizabeth Taylor, one of the real Stars of the 19th Century, who had a wonderful story line of her life.

She married 8 times with 7 husbands… one of the legendary romantic life not just in the movie. She is pretty and sexy who can play Cleopatra  with more charms than her!?

This is my tribute to her, I drew it when I was in Philippines after works at my hotel.

 

I think only one watch could match Elizabeth's talent and her beauty, the Rolex Emerald!

From Wikipedia

Cleopatra is a 1963 American epic historical drama film chronicling the struggles of the young Queen of Egypt, Cleopatra VII to resist the imperial ambitions of Rome. It was directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz and shot in the 70 mm Todd-AO format, with a screenplay adapted by Mankiewicz, Ranald MacDougall and Sidney Buchman from a book by Carlo Maria Franzero. The film stars Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Rex Harrison, Roddy McDowall, and Martin Landau.

Cleopatra achieved notoriety during its production for its massive cost overruns and production troubles, which included changes in director and cast, a change of filming locale, sets that had to be constructed twice, lack of a firm shooting script, and personal scandal around its co-stars. It was the most expensive film ever made up to that point and almost bankrupted 20th Century-Fox!

Price of Japanese watch Market is very Close to What We are doing in Hong Kong

Japan was a hot spot for watch bargain centre in 2014 to 2015.

It is no longer as yen is appreciated and watch dealer had adjusted price in Japan.

Now New or used price of Japan and Hong Kong are similar.

We should be happy...

How you find the culture of HK and Philippines?

When you stare at a beautiful lady in Hong Kong for more than 0.5 second, immediately her face will change black and she may give you dirty eyes!

When I stare at a beautiful lady in Manila, usually she smiles at you bas return.

When I saw someone wearing a nice watch and I ask him to show me., well, they would, at least so far I have asked five people and all they would…and One time even the gentleman took it off and pass to me, that was a Solid Gold Rolex Day Date Oyster Quartz, (the first one sold in the Philippines with USD$5,000 back in 1977)

If you ask the same in Hong Kong, I bet there will happen…

50% that the man will say “Sorry, No!”

10% of the people will give you his middle finger! Perhaps… well, there is 10% of nice decent people will share his watch with you… ! Even though, I will not do so in Hong Kong!

Well, I fully understand the difference of culture and difference of the people who live in different world. Philippines is a lands of smile and paradise and Hong Kong a rich place but many of the people are so much suspicious about the other motive…

Everyone wears a mask to go to work, and there is so much stress for most of the people living in this place.

I was happy in the past except the last ten years, I see the changes, people are living in a pressure cooker!

My boss of the company asked the hotel receptionists that if there were any women sleep with me ever at in my room?

What a pathetic life of you?….  Come on, what is my privacy!? Are you crazy!?  %%#$#!

Life is too short by time I write this my life calculator has already shortened by 30 minutes…

I think we should always happy… should we!?
