Airbourne, also known as Eastbourne International Airshow, is a 4-day international air show run every August in Eastbourne, Sussex, England. Based around a long relationship with the Red Arrows display team, the event features Battle of Britain memorial flights and aircraft from the RAF, USAF and many others. Started in 1993, the show is run by Eastbourne Borough Council, who claim it contributes to the millions of pounds which tourism bring to the town. A dedicated FM radio station, “Radio Airbourne”, broadcasts on 87.7FM during the event. Footage includes the Red Arrows, Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, The Blades, F16 and Breitling Wingwalkers.

Last month, in the birthplace of watchmaking, Geneva played host to the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH), a prestigious show convention for the latest in luxury watches. The private event is by invitation only and consists of 18 exhibitions, 12,500 guests from around the world, and over a thousand journalists.

 

The event took place from January 16 to 20 and allowed the guests to view the new collections by big-name luxury watchmakers. To name a few, Vacheron Constantin, Van Cleef & Arpels, Pierre Arpels, and Cartier all introduced new models at the exhibition.

SIHH 2012

 

 

Though only a twenty year old annual tradition, the convention’s philosophy on their website proudly states, “The complete quality of the products on show and a policy of selective distribution are the driving forces of Fine Watchmaking and the SIHH, as brilliantly illustrated by the Show’s progressive and controlled expansion.”

 

Beginning in 1992 with only five brands exhibiting their work (Baume & Mercier, Cartier, Piaget, Gérald Genta, Franck Müller), the SIHH mostly focused on forums and round table discussions about watch manufacturing and economy. Now, however, it has become much more. In a world where nothing is perfect, the SIHH has allowed for once a year the watch enthusiasts of the world to come together to observe something that is. Those invited to the show all have something in common in that they hold “an unerring belief in the beauty and perfection of the object.”

 

Encouraging the timeless appeal that watches create, a special additional exhibition was also created to honor vintage clocks dating from as early as the Renaissance to the early 1900s.

 

Reaching out to the general public (those of us not invited), the men’s interest website Askmen.com recently featured a few watch experts picking out their favorite’s from the show, such as the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver, the Jaeger-Lecoultre Deep Sea Vintage Chronograph, and the Montblanc Timewriter line.

Other journalists and reviewers for the event noted that as luxury watch products tend to take roughly three years to plan and produce, this year’s SIHH was really debuting the big ideas of 2009. Since the worldwide economy was strained at the time, the watches that resulted focused less on novelty and wow-factor, and instead emphasized practical advancements and what generally worked in the past.

 

The main Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie website’s homepage is already set to start counting down the days until next year’s exhibition (344 days).

TX Watches, the luxury arm of American Timex Watches, combines German engineering and Italian design to produce the internationally savvy timepieces of the World Time collection.

Raymond Weil, following suit as one of the few Swiss luxury watch brands that remains independently owned, did something quite unconventional this year—appropriately in line with the “indie” persuasion, the watchmaking company held an international photography competition for its fans, allowing anyone and everyone to enter, as well as vote for, photographs of their liking. The platform of the competition, Facebook, confirmed the relevance, and, in fact, necessity, of social media to promote brand awareness in any industry.

Holding a worldwide competition was easy to achieve using a global social networking website as a contest “location,” requiring only that contestants and voters “like” the Raymond Weil fan page on Facebook in order to participate. Though the International Grand Prize, awarded to Mathieu Bernard-Reymond for his stoic piece titled “Crude Oil Prices,” was selected by the International Jury (representatives of Raymond Weil), the contest also included three Public’s Choice Awards, voted on by Facebook fans. The competition divided international fans into three different regions: Europe & Africa, Asia, and the Americas. The three public winners, one from each region, were Silvia Pogoda, with 117 votes, Yuan Weifa, with 47 votes, and Omar Gamez, with 36 votes, respectively. All three winners’ claim to fame is owed to fellow Raymond Weil Facebook fans.

As stated in the official announcement, the winning picture was chosen due its effort “to put into question the solidity and permanence of our relationship to economics, landscape and history.” One might say the photograph corresponds with the watchmaker’s image of sleek beauty and purity. The company’s watches, after all, use nothing but the purest ingredients, ranging from stainless steel to 18 karat gold. Unfortunately, the photo has thus far inspired much less flattering remarks than Raymond Weil watches from Facebook fans, but it hangs proudly still on the website wall as 2011’s international winner. Congratulations, Mathieu!

Any blogger or social networker knows that the digital world never stops spinning, and Raymond Weil isn’t following far behind. Since the announcement of the photography competition winners, another contest has already been announced—the Valentine’s Day Contest, held not by Raymond Weil but by Unicorn Jewelry & Watch Boutique, a designer bridal store that the watchmaker “likes.” In this new contest, which began on Jan. 15 and will accept submissions and votes until February 12, 2012, fans are called on to submit love letters of a three-sentence minimum. The winners will be those who attract the most “likes” for their submissions, and the three prizes offered will be gift certificates of $ 250, $ 150, and $ 100.
