Zenith the watch which makes you long for it as soon as it catches your eye is the brand of excellent Swiss watches. The watch company was founded by the very young Georges Favre Jacot who decided to put his mind and heart in the creation of branded watches. He was hit by the idea of disseminate the concept of manufacture.
He illustrated this idea by putting the force of all top watchmakers together and was asked to make a luxurious watch which sprang out as Zenith. The brand has won over 1500 prizes and has made over 50 calibers.
Zenith is mainly known for its two top models. The first was El Primero which was spread out in 1869. It was the first ever chronograph with the fastest automatic winding and used to measure the shortest time intervals as well. The second one came in 1995 called the Elite which are known as the thin watches of Zenith. Academy, Chronomaster, Class, Port Royal, Defy, Star Sea, Star Love, Star Rock, Starissime are some of the newly designed watches of Zenith today. The brand is very much liked by both the sexes of the world.
Zenith holds a very prestigious brand value. Many people wish Zenith to be seen on their wrist. But they are unable to fulfill their desires to the extreme cost of these genuine. Hence, its now time to answer your dreams by buying replica Zenith watches. These Zenith replica watches are the exact copies of the original ones and make you feel as elevated as the genuine one does.
And not forgetting the gift-giving season, it’s probably a great idea to act right now and surprise your loved one – or even yourself for that matter – with the affordable replica Zenith watches, the ultimate high quality watch.

How many Russians does it take it represent three top fashion brands? Just one, apparently, given the fact that the beautiful Natalia Vodianova will be the face of Yves St Laurent, Givenchy and Stell McCartney.
Natalia, 27, is set to go on a roll, come Spring 2010. For one, she’s replacing supermodel Christy Turlington as the face of YSL, while also appearing in Givenchy’s ads for the next season’s campaign.
Meanwhile, she was approached by Stella McCartney, who was impressed by the Russian in a September catwalk, to represent the stylish British brand.
And all while she continues with her current assignments with Guerlain and posing for Calvin Klein underwear… quite a busy time ahead for the lovely-looking mother of two!

Grammy-winning R&B star Alicia Keys is stepping up on her music career by launching her own jewelry brand inscribed with inspirational messages.
Keys, 28, has collaborated with Canadian designer Gisele Theriault in a jewelry line called “The Barber’s Daughters” which features silver and gemstone pieces with quotes and poetry from iconic figures such as Gandhi, Buddha and Shakespeare.
Industry sources said that one of the items, a sterling silver cuff, is inscribed with words of wisdom from the singer herself. That’s amazing… come to think of it, everyone, literally everyone has their set of inspiring quotes, so I’m kind of curious what could be Keys’ keys.
“There’s a gorgeous cuff, it’s so beautiful, and it says ‘I am a superwoman!’,” said a delighted Keys after launching the collection in New York this week.
Apparently for Keys, the progression from putting words with music, to inscribing jewelry, was natural.
“As a lyricist I love words and I love things that kind of … hit you so hard to the heart,” Keys said.
“I realised that this was another way to reach out to people and to really bring them inspiration in some way. If people tell me how much they love my music because it’s gotten them though a certain time in their life, I felt like this was an extension of music.”
The jewelry and accessories range from necklaces and earrings, to watches, cuffs and bracelets. The prices start from $85 to $2,500.
“My favourite part about them was not only were they individual, one of a kind, something you would really cherish and hold but the words on them affected me so personally, they uplifted me, it made me feel good, want to hold it and wear it like a mantra,” Keys said.
Meanwhile, “The Element of Freedom,” Keys’ new album is set for a December 15 release… though the ‘inspirational doesn’t go on sale until 2010.

Celebrity couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt has teamed up British jewelry brand Asprey to launch a signature jewelry collection.
The Hollywood couple has been working for more than a year to produce a snake-inspired collection of gold jewelry and silver accessories called The Protector, said a report in WWD.
The line, which includes fine jeweled bracelets, rings, earrings and pendants, features a snake motif, one that Asprey said Jolie chose for its symbolism as an iconic guardian, particularly over family protection and fertility.
Jolie, 34, was inspired a snake ring given to her while she was pregnant with her daughter Shiloh. Since then, the symbol apparently became a family protection icon to the Jolie-Pitts.
Prices start at $525 for a silver baby spoon with a curving, serpent-shaped handle. Accessories include silver baby gifts, pendants and gold and diamond rings.
The jewelry collection has hit the retailers in Asprey stores in London, New York, Beverly Hills, Tokyo and Dubai.
Net proceeds will go to the non-profit Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, co-founded by Jolie in 2006 aimed at raising awareness and funds to educate child victims of war, conflict and natural disasters.
“These are the children who most need a safe place to learn, a place to heal, a place to learn reconciliation, a place to build a better future and a place — to just be children,” said Jolie.
“Yet the education for these children is often forgotten. Tens of millions of children and adolescents in conflict are not in school.”
Jewelry design may not be a totally alien arena to Pitt, 45, who has designed items for Italian jewelry brand Damiani in the past.
