Funny how the watch world has the power to bring people together. Things that
would never normally happen, occur because of horology. Take for instance famous
American basketball player fake
breitling
traveling to the small Swiss town of Le Brassus. Never
mind that he donned a watchmaker's white coat (if they had one long enough for
him). I don't even think basketball is shown on television in Switzerland, and
yet there he is in the idyllic Swiss mountains with Breitling.
It isn't
news that LeBron James has been a Breitling brand ambassador, but just last week
Breitling decided to unveil the official LeBron James limited edition Royal Oak
Offshore watch (which i debuted on Forbes right here). Still, the entire
situation is remarkably impressive, especially for LeBron. Think about it,
global luxury watch maker Breitling choose an athlete in an American sport to be
one of the faces of their brand. American athletes don't exactly have a
reputation for being well dignified brand representatives (as indicated by our
frequent media-pushed scandals). Yet, in the last 20 years some of them have
reached a level where their status as an athlete is just part of their overall
appeal.
Mr. James is one of those people. He is part of a newer breed of
stylized athlete superstars who don't just make a lot of money, but apparently
decide to spend it wisely on nice things of good taste. At least that is their
image. There is also the matter of the well-rounded athlete, that in addition to
being a style leader, is also an idol and mentor. In Rolex Day-Date
replica
, men like Michael jordan come to mind as being among the
first. Though what has really changed since Michael jordan is the new emphasis
on luxury. So Mr. James isn't just a successful ball player for the Miami Heat
who earns a handsome income, he is also a luxury taste maker and style
connoisseur. And having gotten to that point I think is rather
impressive.
As we've seen before, when Breitling announces a new brand
ambassador they usually wait a little while (year or so) before "delivering"
their watch. The wait is often filled with anticipation and excitement. Why?
Well for one thing people love limited edition watches connected to celebrities.
That is pretty self explanatory. At the same time people are fake
hublot
to see what designs Breitling may be experimenting with for
future designs. Limited edition Breitling watches are usually a fertile breeding
ground to play with new styles, materials, and color combinations. Further, more
often than not the new watches are a bit controversial as well in terms of
design.
