mont blanc watches 09675

Dear All:it just hit the Swiss news: The luxury conglomerate Richemont discards 200 jobs in the Swiss watch industry after the profit decreased for about 1/5. Mostly affected will be Geneva, La-Chaud-de-Fond and Villeret.The financial situation of Richemont is recently very often a topic in the Swiss economic periodicals. The purchase of the former LMH watch manufacturers for 3,1 Mrd. $ is a viewed a major reason, especially since it did not ease the dependency on Swatch's ebauches. 'A Hayek would never pay that much money' is a bottom line often heard.Interestingly, neither IWC, Lange & Sohne or JLC seem to be affected with the recent decision.Best regards,Magnus Bosse6/5/03

Expect any watch designated as an anniversary watch to be worth your while. Such is the case with the Doxa Chateau des Monts watch which was launched to celebrate the 120th anniversary of Doxa.? Doxa was registered 89 years ago in 1910 but founder Georges Ducommun already had his own watch repair shop as early as 1889.The Doxa Chateau des Monts watch, which is selling for $2,500, was named after the famous home of Georges Ducommun called Chateau des Monts watch. The watch is a tribute to both the building and the symbol it holds.Each piece of the limited edition Doxa Chateau des Monts watch has an engraved caption of the important event it is commemorating. It has big Arabic numerals to indicate the time. This is a vintage watch styled much like the 1920s Locle models.The Doxa Chateau des Monts watch has a stainless steel case and is powered by a Unitas movement that is manually wounded. You can opt for the Black or Brown leather strap with buckle.Only 120 for each version of the Doxa Chateau des Monts watch will be produced to maintain its exclusivity.
