Rolex Solving the Famous Murder Mystery
Rolex watches will be remembered for many years to come, not only for their excellence, but also for their association with some popular and historic events. Of all such events, perhaps the most infamous and bone-chilling was a murder mystery that took place in 1996. It remains recognized as one of the most intriguing murder cases of the 20th Century.
Rolex found its name splashed across the media in 1996 when one of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual wristwatches (Date Model) actually helped in identifying a murder victim and eventually led to his murderer. Much to his surprise, a fisherman caught in his net the dead body of a man in the English Channel, about 7 miles from the English Coast. It proved to be a complex case because the victim’s identity was unknown and the body badly decomposed. The Rolex Oyster Perpetual wristwatch that the man was wearing, however, unexpectedly became the mystery solver. Since the Rolex movement had a serial number and was engraved with special markings every time it was serviced, British police traced the service records from Rolex, and Ronald Joseph Platt was identified as the owner of the watch and the victim of the murder. In addition British police were able to determine the date of death by examining the date on the watch calendar. Since the Rolex movement had a reserve of two to three days of operation when inactive and was fully waterproof, they were able to determine the time of death within a small margin of error.

With the identity of the victim and the murder date (and time) now known, it turned out to be only a matter of only time before the police were able to find the culprit. Albert Johnson walker, a Canadian investor accused of stealing millions from his investors, had fled to England. Walker murdered Platt and was in the process of attempting to assume his identity when he was caught. He actually was living as a married couple with his 15-year-old daughter Sheena. Once again, the precision and accuracy of the Rolex came through in the clutch

GUCCI goes green
the luxury brand is getting more eco-friendly, but that could open its brands up to some unwanted scrutiny.
wholesale brand handbags high replica at www.lv-gucci.net
The Gucci Group is going green big time next month, to coincide with the launch of a new movie about the plight of the planet Earth that is being sponsored by Gucci’s parent, France’s PPR Group.
The movie, called “Home,” is by French aerial-photography specialist Yann Arthus-Bertrand, and will be released worldwide on June 5 in movie theaters and on TV in more than 80 countries - and especially online.
Google has agreed to stream the high-definition movie on specially-dedicated YouTube pages for 10 days. In the U.S. it’s being distributed by Fox and will be shown on the National Geographic channel.
At a time when sales of luxury goods are reeling from the economic slump, giving brands a green tinge amounts to a different - but potentially risky - way of keeping them in the public eye.
François-Henri Pinault, the CEO of PPR, whose $13 million sponsorship covered most of the movie’s costs, insists that he’s not supporting the project for its potential effects on business, but as part of a bigger commitment to reduce the company’s environmental impact.
“We’re not doing this for our revenues,” Pinault told Fortune. He acknowledges that there’s a risk for a consumer-goods company putting so much emphasis on ecology since it opens the various brands up to criticism of any production methods or products that don’t meet a high environmental standard.
“No brand is perfect,” Pinault says. “It’ll be the responsibility of the brands not to disappoint.” He gives one example: “I hope Frida (Giannini) will now say no to using fur.”

Whatever the motive, it’s an opportunity that the Gucci brands aren’t letting pass by - and are eager to tell the world about their philanthropy. Profits from most of the products will be donated to a charity that Arthus-Bertrand founded.
Stella McCartney may end up making the biggest splash. A vegetarian who has long refused to use leather or fur in her designs, McCartney is planning to host a special screening of the movie at her store in West Hollywood on June 5 with a range of VIPs in attendance, including Laura Dern, Ben Harper, Anjelica Huston and Salma Hayek - who is married to Pinaul

Cocktail Hour with Daniel Lalonde of Louis Vuitton
In rather hectic fashion, Shannon and I made our way to New York last Monday for the unique chance to meet and greet the Chief Operating Officer of louis vuittonNorth America, Mr. Daniel Lalonde. When we received the invitation last week whilst being on vacation, there was no real hesitation before realizing that we had to take advantage of this unique opportunity.
Shannon and I had high hopes that the event was going to take place in the flagship store on 5th Avenue, in our fantasies we had envisioned Vuitton clearing a whole floor off eager shoppers and letting the event attendees roam the palace freely.
The disappointment was only faint when a kind SA in the store pointed us to the adjacent building down 57th Street, where part of Louis Vuitton N.A.’s corporate headquarters are located. To my pleasant surprise, the showroom was presenting beautiful pieces of LV’s fall collection, some of which I captured on camera.

10 Reasons to Love Rolex
In the free world one can love or hate anyone or anything they choose. The point I would like to make is that knowing the facts can make even the most ardent critic change their mind. Specifically I would like to show why its okay to love Rolex or the people that wear them. So lets look at the facts and I will leave it up to you to decide. wholesale brand rolex watch at www.watch567.com 1. Rolex invented the wristwatch as we know it. Rolex was the first company to put real effort into marketing and producing them in 1905. Other companies could see no reason to stray from producing pocket watches. 2. Rolex invented the waterproof wristwatch. Their invention of the screw down crown was a classically simple concept, similar to a submarine hatch. 3. Ditto for self winding mechanisms. The company saw the way the watch market was headed and also saw the mistakes other companies made. Today, a vast majority of the automatic watches produced use a version of the Rolex Auto Rotor system. 4. One of the most important advances made by Rolex was their decision to gain chronometer certification. Before they instituted the program other companies just talked about how accurate their watches were; but Rolex was the first company to have the accuracy proven by an independent agency. 5. Today many companies have “Professional” watches designed for a specific job, such as diving, sailing or pilots. Rolex just so happened to invent this concept as well. The Submariner is one such example. 6. As you can see thus far Rolex is the most innovative watch company to date, with over a thousand patents in 100 years. 7. Today they are the most self-sufficient watch company in existence because they produce all their own movements, cases ,bracelets, and crystals. 8. Many a customer has come in and wondered just why the cost of a new Rolex is so high, well, there are two main reasons. First they sell every watch they make. Second, no one in history has ever been forced to buy a Rolex, it is up to ones free will. Like everything else that is for sale, the free market system rules. 9. It is hard to speak about Rolex without touching on resale value. In the most simple terms Rolex (both new and pre-owned) retain a higher percentage of their cost than any other Swiss production watch. 10. My favorite reason to buy a Rolex is one that people rarely think of. Most of the company profits go to good causes. The company is owned by two family trusts, the larger of which gives a majority to charitable causes , including education and an orphanage
