Grand Seiko and the Simpsons
As I learned the other day, GS and GO seem to be some of the few watch brands doing wholly without brand ambassadors or patronage from famous personalities. It is a decision I have great admiration for and probably one that few brands can contemplate goin...
The Simpsons, or . . .
. . . the Teletubbies? Forecast: cloudy On a more serious note, Glashütte Original has ambassadors, and fully credentialed at that. Emissaries Who better than us? Art
I thought it was you, Art
Who told me about the brand ambassadors But you are completely right - who better? Great video - and I don\'t mean the Teletubbies one - thanks for posting it!
I find the whole Ambassador idea
very childish and naive. I would never buy a watch because some celebrity is advertising the same. You mentioned that basically all other brands except GO and GS are having Ambassadors. Who are the Celebrities Patek is using? Best, Kari
Maybe the statement was too blanket
And if I wrongly accused Patek, I am sorry (will look it up, though). I also agree with you in the sense that I cannot imagine getting a watch because of a celebrity. At the same time I guess for many brands the people knowledgeable about watches, or put ...
No need to
say sorry to me. Once Patek used Charlie Sheen . He's a client of PP and the ad was made when Charlie "lost" one watch after having hanky-banky with some hooker. I took at more like a good joke rather than using a Brand Ambassador. Anyhow, the whole idea ...
I seem to have hedged my bets
By claiming most, rather than all Did not know about the Charlie Sheen case but it seems very classically him. Need to check it out
Check that.
It's actually funny and joking about Charlie's incidents plus his habit of being a bit influenced by booze or something stronger. Best, Kari
Luck yo be a celebrity to get a few free watches.
Although I would never buy it because of the Ambassadors, there are some brands that when I see their advertising and the celebrity trying to look cool, I think, "Why are they endorsing THAT brand? I guess they don't have enough celebrity clout for a bett...
Or as in fashion
Where top models are endorsing / modeling for fairly cheap brands, it is because those can afford to pay more? Not in all cases of course but known to happen...
And I may have...
... Gotten another GS completely by accident. Should be here quickly, then I\'ll share - actually did not plan it at all but then could not resist the temptation (IIRC according to Oscars Wilde it is not a temptation if one can). But this then really has ...
Next week, if all goes as planned
And then I want to be more prudent till after Santa is gone
But then again...
Things don\'t always go as planned when it comes to our tic tacs ;-) Can\'t say it\'s a bad thing though. LOL! Looking forward for sure.
The new addition has been delivered today
Sadly I have two and a half days to go till I will be back and able to see and try it. The anticipation is killing me
Good point - definitely only Mr. Burns, if anyone
And then there could be a Gallante Mr. Burns edition to commemorate the relationship - I cannot imagine a GS version in any parallel universe
