Introducing Versace Destiny Spirit
Next month, Versace will unveil its Destiny Spirit watch at Baselworld 2010. The quartz timepiece is a more elaborate reinterpretation of the model that Versace first introduced in 2008. Its stainless-steel 39-mm case is coated in an IP yellow-gold treatment and features the Versace logo. A Medusa symbol, the brand’s well-known icon, adorns the black enamel dial at 12 o’clock. Mini spheres lit up by the Clous de Paris decorative detailing float between the outer bezel and dial. The floating beads create a theme of motion, changing position as the wearer moves. The watch is water-resistant to 3 ATM and is mounted on a black crocodile strap. The Destiny Spirit retails for $1,000.
2009 Swiss Watch Exports Down 22.3%
The headline on the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry’s report on December, 2009 exports reads “Recovery Confirmed.” This is perhaps a case of news that is less bad being viewed as good. Swiss watch exports for December were down only 7.2% compared with the same month in 2008, though for all of 2009, Swiss watch exports declined 22.3% to 13.2 billion Swiss francs.
