"After all, if the stars are lit -
Does that mean anyone needs it?
Vladimir Mayakovsky, Listen, 1914
The tabloids regularly convince us that the stars know how to light us up. Star weddings, divorces, scandalous statements, brilliant mistakes and no less brilliant finds - talented people are talented in everything.
In this material - about the watch, the development of which had a hand in world celebrities.
Keeping in mind which site we are on, let's start with Invict.
Using the right of the author, I will put in the first place a collection of my own sympathies - Invicta Artist .
The watches of this line have a rather simple functionality and even the design is somewhat secondary (the shapes and lines of Invicta Artist seem to have already been met earlier in Russian Diver ), but is it really so important if the cases are decorated with three-dimensional graffiti by Ernie Wales?! There are 777 pieces in the collection and each one has an autograph of the master !
And if Invicta Artist is a watch from the star of the New York backwaters, then the watch from movie star Steven Seagal is a different story. Honored Artist of All Hollywood last year presented models with increased shock resistance and water protection (at least, as stated in the presentation). 50 pieces of the U-Boat Classico U-72 collection cost $8,000 each. $8,000 for 200 meters of water protection? You hear? It’s not thunder that rumbles and the earth is shaking, then Arnold Schwarzenegger laughs over two hundred meters!
Mr. Universe does not recognize half-measures and his own Swiss brand of watches under the unexpected name Arnold Schwarzenegger is much more brutal (52 mm in diameter!) And definitely more affordable. The average price for Swiss Made from Arnie is from 600 to 2800 dollars.
Three collections are planned under Arnold Schwarzenegger, each of which reflects the stages of the artist's creative and political path. So, the Schwarzenegger Legend Collection is a muscle-building stage and the design of such watches fits perfectly into the gyms of the world. The Schwarzenegger Hero Collection - I need your clothes… and watches! You guessed it, this is the Predator and the Terminator in the same collection. The Schwarzenegger Heritage Collection is a classic politician's watch with Sellita movements.
Another, literally, strong star spares no time for time. Sylvester Stallone creates the Chaos Automatic Analogue Wristwatch with ETA 2824 movements. Stallone's watch cases are decorated with skulls and reptiles, because, according to the artist, dust and snakes are symbols of unorganized elements, in other words, chaos.
It seems that only stars with big biceps and brachialis are engaged in the creation of watches, but this is not so. We will continue this topic and talk about sports and fashion stars, who also distinguished themselves with original designs and ideas.
