Swatch Founder Nicolas Hayek Passes Away
Posted in: Uncategorized
The man responsible for saving the Swiss watch industry nearly 30 years ago, and for creating the iconic brand Swatch, Nicolas Hayek, passed away earlier this week due to heart failure, at the age of 82. Notice of his passing was delivered via the Swatch Group, the company Hayek bought and reorganized in the early 1980s, which now owns a variety of brands like Omega, Tissot, and the watch-making arm of Tiffany & Co. The notice was very brief, offering few details, but the NY Times has filed this obituary, providing background on Hayek’s career, including the boom that began in 1983 as the low-cost, collectable Swatch was introduced. Here’s a bit from the official statement:
Mr. Nicolas G. Hayek’s greatest merit was his enormous contribution to the saving of the Swiss watch industry and the foundation and the commercial development of the Swatch Group. Mr. Nicolas G. Hayek’s extraordinary vision enabled him to realize and ensure the sustainability of a strong watchmaking enterprise with high Swiss added value. He is rightly recognized as a leading entrepreneur in this country.
With the right personnel decisions, Mr. Nicolas G. Hayek also ensured that his ideas and beliefs will live on and that continuity is guaranteed in regard of shareholders, Board of Directors and the Group Management Board.

Gotta Getaway To Glamour And Grandeur At The Peninsula Hong Kong
Posted in: Uncategorized  | Built in 1928 and known to celebrities, top business men and other elite as one of the world’s most extravagant and elegant hotels, The Peninsula Hong Kong barely needs an introduction. But for those of us who don’t rub elbows with famous socialites and VIP on a regular basis, a short synopsis of just how gorgeous and accommodating this magnificent Hong Kong hotel is is in order. Already a thriving, international city, Hong Kong is an ideal vacation spot for many reasons, and a stay at the Peninsula would only add to the list. Imported marble, vaulted ceilings, crystal chandeliers, gold filigree and exotic flower arrangements are just the beginning to this 5-star hotel and it’s beauty. Glitz and grandeur are balanced with an edge of class and sophistication in every nook and cranny of this gigantic beauty. Spacious suites of plush bedding, wrap around windows, heavy drapes and fully equipped living and dining areas and other luxurious amenities, as well as world-glass room service, is just the tip of the ice-berg. If you ever want to venture out of you’re gorgeously luxe suite, you’ll be met with multiple gourmet restaurants and dining facilities that feature international chefs and scrumptiously made dishes. Not hungry? Peruse the designer label boutiques at the Peninsula Arcade, that include favorites like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Fendi, Ports 1961, Harry Winston, Cartier, Prada, Hermes and a long list of more well-known luxury names. There are also the best gym facilities and luxurious and relaxing spa centers for guests that feel the want for a little pampering. It’s not just the brilliance of crystals, the 5-star food, and the couture-dreamland in the midst of one of the world’s most live and exciting cities that makes the Hong Kong Peninsula so amazing; it’s the superb and impeccable service from all staff that really sets it above other luxury hotels. If you’re in the area and not looking to be an over-night guest, the Peninsula Hong Kong also offers reservations for business meetings, large events and weddings. Splurge on yourself and book a stay at legendary The Peninsula Hong Kong, but click on the slideshow first for a glimpse of it right now! |
