Luxury Watches Headed to India

Luxury watches are headed to where the buyers are and it's not Europe. the United States or even Russia. India is the newest landing spot for luxury watch companies. With such a large population. many of them U.S. educated who have returned to start successful businesses. the demand for nice things are on the rise. It's almost as if watches parallel the caste system that still exists in India. All over the world watches are status symbols and perhaps no more so than in a country where the family you come from and the blood that runs through your veins still very much define you and who you can marry.

Watch brands like Raymond Weil are opening up new boutiques throughout India. Press conferences are being held. Indian celebrities are being brought on as new spokespeople / ambassadors. parties are being held and rupees (the Indian currency) are being used to buy new men's and women's watches. which is music to the watch industry's ear.

Oliver Bernheim. CEO and President Replica Watches. Raymond Weil Watches says that "Indian end consumers are very innovative today. They want to see nuances. they want to be global. they want to see a watch that would fit to their waist. So. I love the Indian consumer because he (she) is open for fresh products for nuance. It is a market that doesn't stop being interested by development." said Oliver Bernheim. CEO and President. Raymond Weil Watches. RW (Raymond Weil) expects India to contribute 7 to its global sales by the end of 2010. This estimate speaks highly and confidently of the potential for spending power that India offers.

Other brands besides RW that are keen on the Indian market are Chico. Citizen. Fossil. Casio. and Tissot. Tissot has recently signed one of India's most famous faces to its brand. Referred to as the "face of the new generation." the beautiful Deepika Padukone has become Tissot's brand new and hottest face.

Although India may not be the best destination for super high-end brands like Cartier watches. Gucci watches or Bvlgari watches. it really is a great area for lower to mid range priced brands like the ones listed above and also for others like Baume and Mercier and Michele watches. There are even some TAG Heuer and Movado watches that would surely sell well there.

That's an idea! If the high end brands were really smart Fake Corum Watch. they would open boutiques in India that only sold their lower-priced watch lines. Perhaps this wouldn't make too much sense for Cartier or Breitling. but definitely would for TAG Heuer and Movado and I'm sure Omega watches would sell well as they are sporty like Tissot watches and those have good sales numbers.

A lot of times when introducing a new brand or product into a certain market the company has to spend a lot on advertising (you've heard the saying "you've got to spend money to make money). but in India. consumers there are already "very very aware of International luxury and premium brands. Many Indians travel abroad today. Many luxury and premium brands also advertise in India so brands like Raymond Weil. Chico Watches Replica. Citizen. Fossil. Casio are very well known to Indian consumer today." explains Harish Bhatt. COO. Titan Watches.

So Watches Price. basically the recipe for success is there. As we enter 2010. I wouldn't be surprised to see more watch brands closing stores in the U.S. and Europe and opening new locations in India.

TSA clueless

Let me see if I have this right: A guy who has a terrorist warning issued about him by his family walks into the Amsterdam airport wearing a weapon sewn in Jockey shorts, pays cash for a one- way transatlantic flight, apparently doesn't flash a visa, boards a U.S.-based airliner, attempts to blow it up as it nears Detroit, is stopped by a Dutch citizen who was a few rows behind him, and our so- called head of Homeland Security says her system worked like clockwork.

Then, to add insult to near injury, the TSA decides to clamp down on us, people who aren't about to do anything like that.

So after inspecting millions of laptop computers, probably billions of shoes and one-quart Ziploc baggies with 3-ounce shampoo bottles in them and finding no threat to an airplane, they're still going to ignore those pesky post-adolescent Muslim Omega Watch Replica males who are trying their best to kill you and me because it's politically incorrect to profile them.

Then they continue to subject honest, innocent American citizens to undue and unnecessary scrutiny. We need an honest-to-goodness cop running that department, not a clueless Obama sycophant who got the job as a political payoff.

Body scans OK

As someone who had a hip replacement and now lives with a metal post in my leg, I am impatient with those who object to full-body scans as an invasion of privacy.

Every time I go through airport security, alarms go off and I am patted down, even though I have a card from my orthopedist explaining the source of the metal.

The one time I was not subjected to this indignity and invasion of privacy was when I went through a full-body scan.

Our primary goal should be safety of passengers, and that's why I don't object to the indignity of the pat down, but I'd much prefer a full-body scan which is faster and provides a higher level of privacy. In addition, scans are neither saved nor stored, and they are viewed by someone in a remote location so that it's possible to achieve Replica TAG Heuer greater security while simultaneously providing more privacy.

Dehumanizing

I'm never going to fly again. I'm not afraid of the terrorists. I'm afraid of the security officers.

How many rules and regulations must I follow? There has never been an old woman terrorist. Why do they search me? Why do they make me remove my shoes? I can't bend over.

The body scanner will see a naked 78-year-old black woman. Wow! I hope it gives them a thrill.

There is no way to stop terrorists 100 percent of the time. If a human is willing to kill himself to commit terror we can't stop him.

It would be easy for a terrorist to bomb our supermarkets, our churches or Walmart with no security, but I don't see problems there.

Why do they dehumanize us at the airports? Airport security is a big government dehumanizing bureaucracy.

We don't need them.

Sunday Perspective A tale of t

IN THE FINAL months before her death in May, my mother kept her shoes on all day, even when napping. She had to -- at her assisted- living facility in Mitchellville, Md., three certified nursing assistants looked after 39 residents. My mom couldn't depend on one of them to have the time to put her shoes on when she needed Fake Damier canvas Handbags to get out of bed. Only in the mornings and evenings, when one of her private aides was with her for about 30 minutes, did she have personalized care.

Disabled by heart disease, two hip replacements and depression, my mother was often groggy when I visited. She needed me to take her hand and pull her up so she could grab the bed rail and maneuver into a sitting position. Though she brightened when I told her stories about her grandchildren over lunch in the facility's dining room, her joy vanished as soon as we returned to her unit. A blank look on her face, she would lay back on her bed, prone and helpless.

Like many American women of my generation, I struggled to figure out how to best care for my aging mother. As the end neared, I compared notes with my friends Fiona and Juliette. Fiona lives in Canada, but her mother lives in their native England, while Juliette lives with her mother in their family home in France. How could we establish safe and comfortable environments for our ailing mothers? How could we find high-quality medical care within reach of their incomes, and our own? And how could we preserve their mental health and sense of well-being while limiting our stress?

My mother's plight made my stress considerable. Each month, Lois Taber paid $4,069 to reside in her assisted-living community, $1,400 for private aides and an average of $140 for medications. Just before she died at age 82, she liquidated assets from her 401(k) to pay for a $5,800 hearing aid. At Richard Mille Watch $169.50 per ride, the retirement home's fee for transporting her to medical appointments was prohibitive. Other than Medicare, my mom had no government- subsidized elder-care services. Already, the lack of affordable in- home support had forced my parents to leave their beloved house in Chevy Chase, Md., to receive the basic care they needed.

Overseas, things are different -- that is, better. In England, which has a national health system similar in structure to our Veterans Affairs system, Fiona's mum, Pat Reid, suffers from disabling arthritis and diabetes, and cannot move without great pain. But a government-supplied home health aide visits Pat at breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. This costs the family 120 pounds a week (approximately $785 per month), a little more than half of what my mom paid for private aides. Lower-income patients receive this service free. The National Health Service provides general practitioners, nursing care, ambulance services, diabetic clinic visits, medications and hospitalizations for no charge. Doctors and nurses make home visits.

In addition, Pat's son Simon, who has no work at the moment and lives in his mother's converted garage, receives 50 pounds a week (about $325 per month) from the government to help him look after her. With this government support, Pat is able to stay in the home where she lived with her husband for more than 35 years. The cost of her care is well within her monthly income of 2,000 pounds.

In France, Juliette's maman, Madeleine Fournot, has Alzheimer's disease. She receives assistance via a national health reimbursement system similar to Medicare as well as through a special program for the elderly and disabled called l'Allocation Personalisie ' l'Autonomie ("Personal Autonomy Allocation"). Since the government refunds 56

"We are responding to a disaster, but we know this will be a long and difficult process," Elsey said. "This is why we're committ
