Flash forward to a company whose name combines New York and Osaka, means sleek in Hawaiian and is a contraction of “New Yorker”. As he says, “My intention for those is to continue to offer a high-fashion alternative for the informed man and woman of the world. There simply is not enough fashion or accessories that tell a story that matches our culture's level of technology. How can one reconcile an iPhone or an iPod with a retro-looking watch from every other brand?”The Zirc Specification:Wide 45mm by 35mm display is unique because strap is off-center.This should make the watch more comfortable to wear since the displayprotrudes onto the arm instead of onto the hand.The Zirc is the first new display design from Noo

Harry Winston Goes Big On Diamonds 2007-11-22 12:57:00 HarryWinston
is making some interesting moves in the diamond area. WWD reports on the fact that Aber Diamond Corp., the mining company that owns Harry Winston is officially being renamed to Harry Winston Diamond Corp. What makes this interesting to jewelry industry watchers is that the firm has a 40 percent interest in the Diavik Diamond Mine in Lac de Gras in Canada's Northwest Territories which produces 10 percent of the world's diamonds. Those diamonds are sold to Winston and other suppliers. Now that Aber is officially Harry Winston, every diamond that comes out of the mine becomes a Harry Winston diamond, tying those stones to one of the most recognizable names in the jewelry world. This is just another layer to the trend we recently mentioned in which branding the stone has become as important as branding the jewelry itself.One interesting fact from the piece is that most of the diamonds that come from the Diavik mine are long and linear, so the company still has to outsource Read more:Diamonds
