What’s not to love about this? It’s a great big bloody cuckoo clock! Getting up in the morning would be a treat with one of these - provided your bedside desk was big enough.
2) Alarm Clock
This clever chap has invented an ingenious contraption to wake you up in the morning. Although I’m not sure it’s to suitable for anyone with spinal injuries. Come to think about it - it’s probably not suitable for anyone without spinal injuries either as they’d soon get them.
3) Inclined clock
I don’t think there’s much competition out there for large inclined clocks, but still this is a very impressive piece of construction.
4) Pendelum Clock
This huge clock really straddles the line between art and function as it’s undoubtedly a beautiful thing.
You may have seen this rather unfortunate advert for Citizen designer watches published in various magazines and newspapers. For those of you who couldn’t care less about cricket, the joke is explained here.
Lying in bed too long, turning up late for work, missing appointments: all of these are symptomatic of a broken or stopped watch. But how do you diagnose the problem if you suspect your designer watch of dishonesty?
If you can hear or see that the watch has stopped ticking, the odds are that the battery has simply worn out. You will be able to purchase a replacement battery from most corner shops or if you want to be extra sure you can of course buy one from your local jewellery or watch shop.
If this doesn’t solve the problem then you will have to inspect the watch more closely. If you can hear the watch ticking but the hands are not moving, then it could be that there is a gear stuck inside. If it is the case that only one of the hands is moving, this could mean that just the non moving hand is broken. Once you have worked out which is the case you will be able to determine whether it would be cheaper to have the watch repaired or to simply purchase a replacement.
Make sure that you check the warranty that came with your watch. If it has not yet expired then the chances are that the maker will mend the watch as long as you pay for the shipping and handling. This may not apply if it is the watch strap rather that the watch itself that has been broken.
Return the watch to the shop where you originally bought it from. If you have inadvertantly purchased a watch that you can prove was originally broken then the store should be able ro replace or offer you a refund. Be sure to consult the shop’s return policy before buyung anything if you are in doubt about returning goods.
Vladamir Putin is very aware of the need to be well presented. This is the guy who released a ‘Let’s learn judo with Vladimir‘ DVD in 2008 - he made no mistakes that it was all a careful PR stunt, the DVD didn’t really contain Judo instructions from the Russian chief, ‘but from real geniuses’
Pictures of Vladimir doing manly things like fishing in a lake with his shirt off are entirely normal. Pictures of him holding a gun and wrestling tigers don’t even raise eyebrows. This is stock manly behaviour from the Russian chieftain…
So how has this Russian man-god decided to demo his testosterone this time?
By presenting his watch to a child on a horse of course! If anyone on the planet knows how to show off the manly mojo, it’s Vladimir Putin, so we officially declare that giving people a watch is as manly as wrestling a tiger. Of course, Putin assures us we can stroke a tiger and be manly at the same time.
These celebrities, eh? They’re already rich so why they need to have their faces plastered all over posters advertising exclusive designer watches. We’re just jealous…anyway here are a few more celebrity sellouts spokespersons for flash watches.
Model and oscar winning actress Charlize Theron is an understandable choice to be the face of the beautiful Raymond Weil designer watches. In the past she has also modelled for various Chrisian Dior products so we imagine she does well for the odd freebie.
3) Gisele
It’s difficult to make out where the watch is in this picture. Either way, supermodel Gisele is apparently the face of Ebel’s designer watch range.
4) Humphrey Bogart
Undeterred by his death in 1957, Longines have dug up Humphrey Bogart to be the face of their Longines designer watch range. At least this poster campaign seems to be quite respectful, without sinking to using a tacky quote such as “Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful watch purchase”.
5) Nico Rosberg
F1 recing drivers are no strangers to endorsment, as the logos plastering their overalls will testify to. Along with the many other brands seen here, Nico Rosberg is a supporter of Oris designer watches.
