Evan Zimmerman’s Most Loved Collector’s Item

November 26th, 2011

Evan Zimmerman is the man behind the sale of various collector watches. He is proud to offer the public vintage and modern watches which are bound to raise your prestige in society and many are fascinated by the way he presents and prepares his selected time pieces. Nevertheless, here is a list of some of his favorite time pieces.

Rolex Comex 1680

This is the No. 1 watch in the wish list of Evan Zimmerman It is specifically made by Rolex company for French deep-sea diving companies in the year 1978. There are only 50 models made for this type of watch and those that have been found are either altered or the dials were already changed thus the few survivors are already considered a gem by watch enthusiasts. There has never been a sale for this type of watch in the 34 years history of Antiquorum because it is very difficult to find but the moment Evan Zimmerman gets hold of a real and well kept Rolex Comex 1680 then expect that the minimum price of this time piece will be $250,000 which will definitely outbid so he can it for his own.

Patek Phillipe Time Pieces

This is the major competitor of Rolex and Evan Zimmerman knows how to make the most out of this time piece. He has sold several of this time pieces for millions of dollars to the delight of Antiquorum and the satisfaction of the buyer. One of the most significant models of Patek Philippe which he sold was the Patek Philippe World Time Ref. 1415 which was sold for US$ 4,026,524.

Longine Watches

Although rarely found in auction watches, one of the proud watches sold by Evan Zimmerman is the Longines wristwatch of Albert Einstein which was sold at $596,000 which is more than 2000 times its estimated value. It just clearly shows that the price of a time piece is all the more influenced by the owner of the watch, in this case Albert Einstein.

The Reign of the Rolex Watches

It seems that the Rolex watches have set their reign in the new millennium with most of the watches sold at a very high price belonging to this particular brand. Another memorable time piece which was sold with this brand name is Steve McQueen’s Rolex Submariner which was sold for $234,000.

There are other watches which was found and sold by Evan Zimmerman through Antiquorum and he is very happy for the achievement he has set for this company as well as the happiness he has given to the new owners of these elegant time pieces.

Top 4 Skincare Products

November 26th, 2011

A good skincare regiment helps skin retain its youthful glow, elasticity and even complexion. Using the right products can eliminate puffy eyes, clear acne, minimise ruddiness and more. Here are the top 4 skincare products to improve the appearance of your skin safely and affordably.
1. Facial Cleanser
A good skincare regiment begins with a cleanser, which is designed to remove excess oils, pollutants and dirt from the skin and pores. A good cleanser doesn’t need to be expensive, although it’s important to avoid bar soaps because they will dry the skin and cause flaking and other problems. It’s usually best to choose a cleanser by skin type. For example, individuals with oily skin should stick with clear cleansers while those with naturally dry skin should select something creamy. Another rule of thumb? Don’t over cleanse the skin, as this can cause dryness, as well as broken capillaries from water that is too hot or cold. Simply use a dime-size amount of cleanser nightly and lukewarm water to gently remove excess oils on the skin.

2. Exfoliation Scrub
After cleansing, always use a scrub to exfoliate the skin. This is an important skincare step that many people skip but it’s actually very important for healthy skin. A good exfoliating product will even give immediate results in the appearance of skin. Although skin can be exfoliated through microdermabrasions and chemical peels, a facial scrub is the easiest and safest way to do it at home. A scrub actually removes the top layer of dead skin cells which make skin appear dull and lifeless. Choose a scrub that has tiny granules, as opposed to large grains, to avoid damage to the skin.

3. Moisturiser
Of course, a good moisturiser is one of the most vital parts of any skincare routine and may be the best skincare product to invest in. In fact, even oily skin can use a good moisturiser. Moisturiser works by sealing water into the skin like saran wrap while creating a barrier against wind and pollutants. It’s usually easy to tell when skin needs more moisturiser when dry patches begin to appear, or when the skin appears tight. Still, it should be noted that you never want to over moisturise the skin because this will clog the pores. Use only a dime-size amount of a good moisturiser like Nivea Skincare.

4. Sunscreen
Lastly, apply a top layer of sunscreen as part of your skincare regiment. This helps to prevent wrinkles from sun damage, and also reduces the risk of skin cancer. Choose a sunscreen meant for the face and select one with a high protection rating.
