Team-based elephant polo doesn't just sound like a weird sport, it is a real weird sport. First I heard about it was today when learning that luxury watch maker Audemars Piguet is one of the sponsors. Like the equestrian based polo we all know (and some love), elephant based polo utilizes the same concept - just longer mallets, more jockeys, and bigger animals. The specific event I am talking about is known as the 2009 King's Cup Elephant Polo game, held annually in the Golden Triangle region of Thailand at the Anantara Resort. We are talking about a lifestyle and world where the term "trumpet" is still used as a noun, and the sport, is still a local high-society favorite. Elephant polo is like a big pachyderm free for all - 12 teams compete for the coveted King's Cup (video after the jump). One of the 12 teams will of course be the Audemars Piguet team, complete with elephant and two riders. One for the controls (elephant) and one with the mallet (mostly bamboo). In addition to having a team, Audemars Piguet is a co-sponsor of the event. So, 'hear ye, hear ye, at the end of March, Audermars Piguet and Anantara Resorts trumpet the 2009 King's Cup Elephant Polo challenge in Thailand.Ariel Adams publishes the watch review site aBlogtoRead.com.

Watch fans who like a lot of information from their timepiece may be interested in a new model by Audemars Piguet.Called the Quantième Perpétuel Jules Audemars, the features on the timepiece's face could be the first element which jumps out to consumers, the Watch Observer reported.That is because it not only displays the current hour and minute via two elegant hands, but Audemars Piguet, which has produced watches since 1875, has also designed four mini-dials, with each giving its own feature.Each of these display the current day, date, month and moon phase, all of which are neatly designed to appear in the centre of the timepiece in a way which distinguishes each detail without causing packing too much in.The reviewer of this watch gave it a score of 80 out of 100, noting: "Not only is the dial well balanced, but above all clear, thanks to the systematic use of registers rather than (sometimes) unsightly apertures."
