The Michael Kors Golden Oversized Runway Chronograph

In a new world of hand held media devices and smart phones that come equipped with analog clocks, it was thought by industry insiders as recently as 2008 that the watch was going to go the way of the dinosaur and the walkman cassette player. Anemic designs paired with redundant function caused watch sales to drop drastically—especially in the wake of the recent economic meltdown. However, there has been an upsurge of timepiece-sporting amongst young celebrity taste-makers. Oversized or “Boyfriend” watches are suddenly seen on the wrists of the youthful glitterati. Their favorite designer? Michael Kors.

In 2004, Michael Kors launched his line of Oversized Chronograph watches with Fossil, at a time when many people were casting their watches aside in favor of cell phones. The pieces were large, festooned with flourishes and delicately braided bracelets; they were jewelry. Now, young stars are seen at awards shows, at premieres, or just out and about adorned with those chunky golden timepieces.

Dakota Fanning: Twilight Saga star and fancier of Michael Kors Golden Chronograph

Dakota Fanning, star of the films The Runaways and the Twilight Saga, is frequently seen flaunting her Michael Kors Golden Oversized Runway Watch. This piece has a substantial 45mm case and a 24mm golden bracelet. The dial is gold brushed with gold accents and has a date window between the four and five and a three eye chronograph.

The Mid Size Runway Watch has been seen gracing the wrist of Hayden Panettiere, most known for her role on the TV series “Heroes.” This watch has a 39mm case with chocolate brown watch face and a rose golden accented mother of pearl dial and a date window between the four and the five. The bracelet is stainless steel with rose golden stainless steel panel.

Reality stars Kim Kardashian and Kristin Cavallari both wear Michael Kors Jet Set Horn/Gold watch. This watch is goldtone cased with three sub-dials and a date window between the four and the five. The watch face is golden accented cream, and the bracelet is horn and shiny goldtone.

Michael Kors watches are more than just timepieces; they are the go-to accessory for the young and the chic. Said Kors in an interview with the New York Times, “Considering how casual most people dress on a day-to-day basis, a glamorous watch is one of the few accessories that can be at once sporty, luxurious and utilitarian.”

What happens when the most beloved rodent off all time joins forces with a high-end jewelry and watchmaker-gemological and horological magic! The beloved Mickey Mouse has teamed up with swanky watch and accessory company Chopard for a collection of pieces sure to delight kids of all ages.

Chopard was founded in 1860 by Louis-Ulysse Chopard.  Chopard is a unique company in a few ways; they have a distinct classification of being regarded as a manufacturer, which requires that they make many of their watches and movements internally rather than using parts made from other manufacturers. Chopard is also one of only four brands in the Fleurier Quality Foundation which is known for endorsing only the crème de la crème in luxury watches. This distinguished certification ensures that all Chopard watches are of only the finest artistry and craftsmanship which they have become celebrated for.

Chopard is well known in high-end circles for designing beautiful, opulent pieces of jewelry, watches, and accessories are commonly worn on red carpets and adorned by socialites who are predominantly female. Chopard also appeals to male celebrities such as film director Spike Lee and television personality Simon Cowell who wear Chopard sports watches.

Assortment of Chopard watches on display

Chopard’s collaboration with Mickey Mouse is not their first celebrity partnership. The celebrated Sir Elton John and Chopard Co-President Caroline Gruosi-Scheufele met and forged a friendship which began with their dedication to AIDS causes. Together they eventually created a collection of watches designed by John with a portion of proceeds benefitting the Elton John AIDS Foundation. What began as a fundraising idea between friends quickly became one of Chopard’s bestselling pieces in their range of watches.

With one successful celebrity alliance under their belt, Chopard did not hesitate to forge a creative partnership with their latest business partner, the legendary Mickey Mouse. In their latest celebrity collaboration, aptly named the Happy Mickey collection, Chopard designed a variety of fun and imaginative jewelry and watches.

Chopard's Happy Mickey watches are fun and fashionable

The collection features watches made in gem-set steel with the lovable mouse pictured in black and white along with moving diamonds which Chopard calls fashionable and playful luxury. All watches feature the sliding gemstones in red, yellow and black which represent the colors of Mickey Mouse and come in white or mother-of-pearl dials. Watch straps are kept simple and understated in black or white to not take away from the moving dazzling diamonds and gemstone pieces.

Chopard has certainly revealed their fun and imaginative side with the Happy Mickey collection. It captures the playful and colorful side of the movie star mouse and paired it with Chopard’s signature elegant jewels and design.

I’m done wasting my tears on some low-life INTERNET wrestling fans who apperently have nothing better to do than bash someone who they don’t even know personally! Honestly, leave the poor guy alone! I’m personally GLAD he’s champion! He hasn’t had it in a VERY long time!! Leave him alone honestly. You all are hypocrites….you “say” they over do it with cena…Well now, you’re all hypocrites now arn’t ya? Last time I checked, WWE NEVER once did a big song and dance B-Day Party for John Cena now did they??? Then again, John Cena’s humble, he’d probably turn down a celebration like that…..but knowing the rock, ofcores he’d be all “gun-hole” about it! *sigh* its a shame that people would rather cheer on a egotistic maniac who spends time having the longest promoes about himself and how “great” he thinks himself is instead of someone that lives by Hustle, Loyalty and Respect and shows the example of NEVER give up!….societies messed up. I don’t care what ya’ll say or think anymore, John Cena’s the REAL peoples champion because of who he is…..its REALLY stupid to call the rock the peoples champion coz last time I checked, a person who loves the people isn’t an egotistic basterd who has aunts in their pants godfor bid John Cena’s untop instead of him…just saying.

ps its a proven fact haters are indeed haters…look closely see what the word HATERS stand for hehe

Having
Anger
Towards
Everyone
Reaching
Sucess

Answer by Prime Time
Cena doesn’t care about hates anyways…I think he might actually enjoy it…he enjoys it when the crowd boo’s him or says “Cena Sucks” or w/e…

This question is sad. One of the founders of functionalism and someone who got the ball rolling for psychology in the united states made this theory and you can’t crack open a textbook and find this out? This is equivalent of not knowing that Darwin proposed the theory of evolution.
