Being crazy about luxurious accessories - rings, earrings, bracelets, bags I'm always in search for something new and great looking. Now I am looking for a stylish watch, to be precise for a few watches, because each clothing and each situation requires especial accessory. I'm convinced that one must have a few stylish watches - one for office, one for sports, one for festivities and many other watches, as many as possible. While browsing the Internet I realized that the best solution for me is to buy a fake watch. Authentic watches are very expensive, while replica watches are sold at quite reasonable prices. A friend of mine wears a fake watch, but I never knew it was a replica. I always thought it is an original watch from Breitling, however, it turned out that this was a Breitling replica watch. The friend says that fake watches, though being cheap are watches of quite high quality. What I like about fake watches is that these look as stylish as original watches. Personally I am really crazy about jewelry and watches from Jacob& Co. These watches are very stylish and they feature useful functions, for instance second time zone. As well I like replica watches from Cartier, they are incredibly beautiful, especially jewelry watches, for instance those from La Panthere collection - these watches are true masterpieces, they really amaze me. The only thing that stops me from buying these marvelous watches is their price. That is why I opt for fake watches. Due to the fact that these watches are quite inexpensive, I can buy a few watches at once. Now I plan to buy a Jacob&Co, 5 Time Zones and a Cartier replica watch, I'm still thinking over the model, but most probably I'll buy a Cartier Pasha model. | |
By the way, now I am thinking over a gift for my friend who likes watches from Breitling. He already has a Breitling replica watch, but I am sure he will be happy to have some more replica watches. Now I browse Internet in search for a nice Breitling replica watches. I've seen many models and most probably I will choose a Breitling for Bentley model. These watches look very stylish and they are designed for the owners of Bentley cars as well as for those who like cars in general. The choice of watches is really fantastic, it allows to choose a watch of whatever model I wish. I like it. |  |
 | Blancpain Tourbillon Diamants | Jun 20, 2008 |

Due to the Blancpain innovative gem-setting technique, the new Tourbillon Diamants creates a unique visual effect. The unstructured setting of the baguette-cut diamonds is a really complicated process, including both the arrangement and the specific size of each gem.
The classic round shape of the timepiece further increases the difficulty of the task - it is necessary to precisely adjust each diamond, so that it fits perfectly within the whole. A variety of the dimensions and positioning of the watch's dial contribute to the splendor of the multiple facets with their luminous sparkling reflections.
The inner beauty of the Blancpain Tourbillon Diamants corresponds to its outside radiance - the timepiece has incorporated Blancpain Calibre 25A. The mechanical self-winding movement with a 7-day power reserve comprises 239 parts. Reflecting the most notable traditions of Haute Horlogerie, the bevelling, circular graining and Cotes de Geneve decoration are performed by hand by most experienced artisans.
The 40-mm case of the Tourbillon Diamants is crafted in white gold. It boasts 100-meter water-resistance. Its sapphire crystal reveals the hand finishing of all the parts. One may follow the swaying motion of the hand-chased platinum oscillating weight.
The timepiece is presented on an articulated white gold bracelet, set with diamonds (42 carats). The bracelet accentuates the elegance and prestige of the diamonds that seem to be leaping out of the watch's dial.

Alcoholic beverages: there are special rules in some companies that forbid to present with alcoholic beverages.
Religious cult objects: It is very difficult to guess what kind of religion the person professes. He/she might be an atheist.
Be careful with funny and joky gifts. Some people may not understand your joke and even take offense.
Perfumery and cosmetics: Even if you think that you know the taste of the recipient very well you can be mistaken still. Never present a colleague with a second-hand item. The only exception is vintage objects.
You can present a colleague with:
Office objects: pen, calculator, organizer, set of office objects.
It can also be a lighter, a key trinket, a manicure set etc.
Items made of glass, leather and ceramics are a great option of a gift for a colleague.

Nowadays it has become a kind of usual thing to cover different objects with gold, embellish with diamonds and other precious stones and then sell them for crazy prices.
But they do it for special reason – they want to take more money from wealthy customers. Another matter is when they try to collect money for charity purposes.

Such a high price is easy to explain – they substituted all the necessary ingredients for precious metals and stones.
Such an exclusive ice-cream was ordered by Bruster's ice cream company to a famous American jewelry company Lazare Kaplan. It successfully created a great copy of the most famous and loved ice-cream of the company – a vanilla ice-cream with cherries.
As a result you see a very nice and appetizing object but you can't eat it. But on the other hand you can buy it – for $ 1 million. A waffle is substituted for more than half a kilo of yellow and white 18 K gold, and vanilla ice-cream for 548 Lazare diamonds and 87 of diamonds of emerald cutting.
