April 20th, 2009UncategorizedTake that Movado Museum watch! Angular Momentum has created a new line of timepieces with a model that battles the world famous minimalist design Movado is known for. Here, the appeal is in the skeletonized hands. They are large and proud making you forget most of the hour indicators are absent. This new Èmail Grand Feu watch collection presents this model with a slightly domed copper dial for the white Èmail face. On the face is a single diamond resting at the 12 o'clock hour marker, similar to the style seen on the Movado Museum watches.
The gold case used is Angular Momentum's standard design, but looking nice with a gold color. Most of the time they prefer steel cases (often with diamonds). I consider the design of the watch to be quite poignant actually, with what I anticipate is a great compliment with most wardrobe articles on almost any wrist. Imagine the statement that wearing a watch like with will give. Very impressive, and Angular Momentum considers it part of their "sophisticated watch line." Inside is likely an automatic mechanical movement, and the strap is black alligator.

April 19th, 2009UncategorizedThe Las Vegas Sands Corporation has been having some financial trouble lately but the plans for the Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania are going forward. The resort is scheduled to open to the public for the first time on May 22 with a grand opening on June 9, 2009.
The resort is located on the former site of the Bethlehem Steel plant and will have 3,000 slot machines, a 24-hour Cafe, an Irish pub, a marketplace featuring a wide selection of cuisines, and a celebrity chef steak house. The Sands Bethlehem has brought over 1,000 jobs to the region. Further development calls for an additional 2,000 slot machines, 200,000 square feet of retail space, and nearly 50,000 square feet of flexible multi-purpose space, which will allow the property to accommodate meetings, conventions, and special events. The master plan will eventually include a 300-room hotel, with the rooms modeled after those at the Palazzo Resort in Las Vegas as well as a National Museum of Industrial History, SteelStax - an arts and cultural center, and will also serve as the home for the local public broadcasting station, PBS 39 / WLVT.
This news come just as Sands Chairman and Chief Executive Sheldon Adelson announced this week that the company expects to avoid a debt default through cutting costs, selling two retail malls at the Venetian Macau resort and the Four Seasons hotel in Macau. If Adelson isn't able to find some more money the ambitious future plans for the Bethlehem project may be delayed. -
