54 | December 2012 www.womanthismonth.com Showcase Timeless Style AMBASSADOR STORES Now is the time to purchase a new and quintessential timepiece; a household luxury timepiece brand has added a beautiful new collection to an already well-received range. The Lord collection from the Seiko Watch Corporation has become an increasingly popular choice among young buyers around the world. With the launch of a new range featuring bold designs that set new trends, this brand is at the cutting edge of watch-making style. Twenty five new pieces for men and women have been released, showing that the brand’s design is as innovative as its technology. It demonstrates once again that Seiko’s dedication to perfection in both style and substance leads to a unique blend of craftsmanship and technology. The 2012 collection offers a wide variety of features. Alongside chronographs with 1/20 second measurement are several multi-hand models with a retrograde day indicator. Also new is the range of five automatic mechanical models whose exquisite movements can be seen through the window on the dial. The women’s models are just as bold as the mens, with large case openings that feature Swarovski crystals. High function and high style are combined; both the men’s and women’s watches have 24 hour, date and second hands and are also water resistant to 100 meters. Reigning champions Arguably the most successful club in the modern football world, FC Barcelona displays strong ties with the Seiko brand. In addition to its many victories over the years, the club is respected for its independence and social responsibility, as is the watch brand. Both power houses strive for perfection in everything they do. The shared values of both the renowned brand leaders go even deeper; both were founded in the late 19th century. The watchmakers develop designs and produce all the key parts in a timepiece, from balance springs to quartz crystals and Barcelona also chooses to develop its talent in-house. Most ‘big clubs’ tend to purchase established players for the immediate improvement of their performance. Barca however, takes a longer term approach and, through its famous Masia academy, nurtures young talented players until they become the stars of the next generation. One might say that FC Barcelona is a manufacturer of football talent just as Seiko are manufacturers of watches. The club’s fans will be pleased to know that the new Lord collection offers a FC Barcelona chronograph model with the team crest carried proudly on the dial. The Lord FC Barcelona chronograph expresses the dedication to perfection that Seiko shares with the most successful club in world football. Call 17 225-513.
