Just like people, companies can have friendly relationships. This is true for Girard-Perregaux and BMW. There is nothing surprising in close ties between the watch and car manufacturers – both cars and watches have a lot in common in terms of innovation, engineering, design, high precision and performance.
Friendship is all about giving and taking. Both companies seem to be fully aware of this unspoken rule. In 2006, BMW designed a car, reflecting the philosophy of Girard-Perregaux luxury products, the BMW Individual 760Li. A few years later, the watchmaking brand returned the favor. Girard-Perregaux became partner of the BMW Oracle Racing team, participating in the America’s Cup sailing regatta challenge. The company even created a watch especially for this occasion – the Girard-Perregaux Laureato BMW Oracle Racing Tourbillon.

J’adore CHANEL, and the Spring 2010 show this week at the Palais was nothing short of spectacular. Theatrics aside, we took a close look at the bags and found a few refreshing additions to the classic styles and a few that just made no sense! The multi embellished 2.55 versions were safe and as expected and the oversized 2.55 messenger was fabulous. Wicker basket styles with ribbons interwoven were not my favorite but older CHANEL devotees do enjoy them in the warmer months. And the 80’s style bronze leather bucket with pressed camillias?? Just plain bad. Now for the really bizarre, the giant bird/flower/fruit basket thing (below center)– wow! What do you think?
