Watches by Charriol

A Sports Model Named Celtica by Charriol 

celtica-watches-2.JPG

This powerful, new quartz-driven model is a chronograph equipped with calendar functions. The date is displayed by a central hand, and the day and month through windows.

The black PVD-coated bezel is enhanced by steel or pink gold-plated inserts on one or two levels with the crown bearing the logo and the ornamental arcs on either side of the case. The steel lugs respectively carry the C logo and the CHARRIOL name.

 

The brand’s signature Celtic spirit is echoed in the rubber strap with its six-row cabled motif. 

This sporty 44 mm-diameter watch features a variety of strongly contrasting dials, including white mother-of-pearl and Kevlar counters or black guilloché and white Mother-of-pearl counters. Imbued with the distinctive Charriol identity, it will create a sensational effect on the wrist of dynamic men with discerning tastes.

 Parisii Gold Plated Watch Collection – the New Ambassadors of Inimitable CHARRIOL Style

 parisii-gold-plated-watch-collection-2.jpg 

Parisii watches, named after Celtic people that used to live where Paris now stands, represent the latest generation of strongly characterized Charriol watches.

They elegantly feature the famous cable pattern inspired by Celtic torques and picked up on the case middle, crown and bracelet of these models.

 In 2010, the collection is appearing in particularly affordable two-tone variations combining gold plating with steel or ceramics.

 

The yellow gold-plated variations comprise a first model adorned with a steel cabled motif and a second distinguished by its two toned look – matching steel elements with gold-plated bezel and bracelet central links.

The round 42 or 33 mm-diameter cases house Swiss quartz movements driving central hour, minute and seconds hands.

The dials offer a shiny white color with gold plated hour-markers and Roman numerals all bearing the brand’s C logo.

Once classic and modern, Parisii watches are now the new ambassadors of the inimitable Charriol style.

 

In the Philippines Charriol is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc. (SSI) and is located at Greenbelt 4, Power Plant Mall, Rustan’s Makati, Rustan’s Tower, Gateway Mall, SM Mall of Asia, 158 Designers’ Boulevard Alabang Town Center, TriNoma, Robinsons Midtown, and Rustan’s Ayala Cebu.

Japanese Snacks and Candies

By | What's New at Rustan's, Yummy! | 7 Comments

Heart2Heart goes crazy whenever in Japan! They have the widest assortment of snacks and candies!  I am so happy now, we do not have to go to Japan to enjoy them because they are now here in the Philippines!!!!!  Be assured that the Japanese have very strict controls when it comes to manufacturing which is why the prices may be higher than other Asian countries. Each product has to be tested and has to be approved.   So, not only are they YUMMY but they are SAFE YUMMY especially for kids who love to munch on these things! 

Rustan’s Makati now has the best assortment followed by Rockwell.  They will be coming in little by little and more to come next week!  So keep visiting to find out what’s new.  You should be able to find them in the Japanese or Asian Section, checkout counters or in the snack and candy sections

HI CHEW!!!!!  Nothing is better than the original!  Be careful what GUMMY you are chewing! 🙂 Hi Chew is manufactured now in the States,  China and other Asian countries, but I would still go for the Original Japanese made ones even if they are a bit more expensive!  MIAM MIAM!!

Hi chew also has a variety pack which has three flavors already in it and the famous MILKY candy has a lollipop which is very popular!

Right beside Shabu Zen ( Shabu Zen, Chinatown, Boston July 30 ) is the little DIMSUM cafe!  We like it because it is dimsum all day not only lunch!  We ate here after Shabu Zen!!  Trying to taste everything in the short time we were in Boston.

Shabu-Zen, Chinatown, Boston

By | Foodie, Travel | One Comment

Of course we have to eat in Chinatown, whatever part of the world we are in. We crave for rice! 🙂

Our cousins, MJ, Chris and even our nephew, Christian, highly recommended this and made sure we ate here….so we did! 

img_2845.JPGimg_2846.JPGimg_2849.jpgimg_2850.jpgimg_2853.JPGimg_2854.jpg

You can request for the pot to be split into two so we had SPICY and regular 

img_2857.JPG

We got the Top Grade Black Angus USDA Choice, it looks a lot but those are thinly sliced 

img_2859.JPG

YUMMY!  The water was wondering and could not understand that we wanted only BEEF – he wanted us to order vegetables!  🙂
