How Watch Makers Can Best Utilize iPhone And Other Mobile Apps
I was asked to give my opinion on how watch companies can best make sense of, and utilize iPhone applications by the IC-Agency over in Europe, that spends a lot of time trying to figure out how luxury brands should utilize the Internet. I do the same for watch companies so I was happy to think about the salient issue. You may have noticed that over the past few months, it seems as though every major watch maker is releasing iPhone applications that are mostly free to download. These are marketing tools for them, and the question for them is why and how to do it, and the pay-off for you (the consumer or user of the applications), is having useful and fun watch applications for your iPhone or other mobile phone devices.The bottom line is that iPhone applications are made in the hope that they will get people to buy watches in one way or another. Watch companies like to be where eyes are. With the millions of iPhones out there, and the over 80,000 (and counting) existing iPhone apps, it m

Blognapping: Often Innocent Copyright Violations
There is often a misconception that content online is either free or up for grabs. Most of us are well skilled in the art of copying and pasting, and we take its functionality for granted. Often times taking other people's content, we seldom stop to think of the implications. Granted, this is not my personal opinion of the appropriateness of such conduct, more an attempt to enlighten those who are not aware of their actions.Whether or not it has an accompanying copyright registration with the Federal Government, all original works of authorship posted online have inherent copyright protection. This means that it belongs to the author who created or owns the content, and that others may not make use of it freely.Essentially, copyright protection means an author of a work has the exclusive right to profit and distribute the work. This includes display of the work. As I stated, there are limitations and exceptions, but the rights of content ownership are paramount to supposed First Amendm

15202 boutique only 2018
Hi I always get slightly apprehensive posting up what an AD tells me, as sometimes, a barrage of rumor mongerer seems to follow after some postersBut in good faith... Recently an ad advised that the 15202, though rarely, and after long waits could be sourced. But From 2018 onwards they are boutique acquired only! (Not sure there is a boutique in UK).I was fairly sure this was the case already - hence the rarity of the watch. But the AD said he sold one last year! Sooooo can anyone elaborate or confirm the situation!Its new news.... The AD says it was recently communicated to Them by AP and to advise, no more waiting lists on the watch, that span beyond this years allocation
