OMEGA & Michael Phelps 'Shanghai Boutique Visit'

By TLex Below legendary Olympic Swimmer and OMEGA brand ambassador, Michael Phelps doing a spot of watchmaking with some local kids at OMEGA's Shanghai Boutique. Here he can be seen sporting the new Planet Ocean with the OMEGA exclusive Co-Axial calibre 9300/9301 in-house movement . . .



From OMEGA Legendary Olympian and OMEGA brand ambassador Michael Phelps is in Shanghai for the FINA World Championships but before he starts his final preparations for the competition, he took some time to see his friends at OMEGA. The brand serves once again as Official Timekeeper for the Championships. Michael had the opportunity to visit the OMEGA Boutique at the Swatch Art Peace Hotel. Being one of the greatest swimmers in history, Michael got the chance to talk to some young Chinese swimming fans, who were all enthusiastic about meeting him.

As to what time means to him, Michael said, “Time is of paramount importance to me. In swimming, a hundredth of a second can determine the result. That’s why precise timing is critical to competitive swimming. OMEGA is visible everywhere I compete. It’s just like having a family around when I’m travelling.” He added, “OMEGA has offered unwavering support for a long time. I really think that being part of a company like this is extremely special. It’s been amazing to have been an ambassador for so many years. I’m looking forward to sharing time with them this summer at the World Championships in Shanghai, and of course I'm looking ahead to the London 2012 Olympic Games.”

At the boutique, Michael also assumed a different role. In addition to autographing watch boxes containing the newly upgraded Seamaster Planet Ocean collection, the 14-time Olympic gold medalist, donned a white lab coat and a watchmaker's loupe. He was then joined by the children who were also outfitted in OMEGA lab coats and worked with them as they used precision horological hand tools to disassemble a watch movement. The next challenge was to put the OMEGA movement back together and Michael and the children applauded each other enthusiastically when they successfully completed this daunting task.



The Swatch Art Peace Hotel where the OMEGA Boutique is located is directly on Shanghai's iconic Bund, is a historic landmark in Shanghai. It has been painstakingly renovated and now offers the same magnificent splendor that has defined it since it first opened its doors as the Palace Hotel in 1908. The FINA World Championships are taking place from July 16th to 31st at the Shanghai Oriental Sports Center. OMEGA wishes Michael Phelps every success in his upcoming competitions.

ANONIMO Hi Dive Carbon 'Ivan Basso'

By TLex ANONIMO plan to launch an exclusive 150 piece limited-edition watch dedicated to professional cyclist and watch aficionado, Ivan Basso winner of the Giro d’Italia 2010. This special edition of ANONIMO's Hi Dive 121 ATA watch utilizes carbon fiber for its dial and fixed bezel. I have only just recently featured the new ANONIMO Carbon Diver, but apart from this, this is still a relatively new material for the Italian watch maker. However I have feeling that we might be seeing more use of it from them in the future.



From ANONIMO Anonimo will produce a total of 150 Ivan Basso Hi Dive Carbon watches. The watch face bears his name, and it should come as no surprise that Basso asked Anonimo to design it. After all, the racing champion is also a fan of watches, and his collection already includes several Anonimo designs.

Basso’s choice was a carbon version of the high-performance Anonimo Hi Dive watch. The face and the case are made of ultra light, superbly resistant materials and contain carbon elements that have been fused together at high temperatures. This not only gives the watch its modern anthracite colour, it is also a nod to Basso’s own bicycle that is built with a range of carbon parts – an incredibly light, strong and durable material. Moreover, Full Speed Ahead (FSA), who produce the carbon parts for the watch, also provide specialised carbon parts for racing cycles.



IVAN BASSO “I love Anonimo watches. And as an Italian I am very proud to wear a great Italian design. This new model is highly practical and so beautiful. That is precisely what I expect from a watch!”



Anonimo is excited about this collaboration, says sales director David Cypers. “Ivan Basso loves a challenge and he always strives to be the best, just like Anonimo. We are a high-performance brand that builds watches for extreme sports and harsh conditions. For example, we are the preferred supplier of diving watches for the Italian diving company CNS and the Italian navy. Our fans also include Spanish motorcyclist Axel Pons and German football player Oliver Kahn. What all of them have in common with each other and with us is the enjoyment of a race against the clock. High level sports require timekeeping in extreme conditions, and that is what sets us apart from the others.”

The Anonimo Ivan Basso Hi Dive Carbon is priced at € 3,700.
