the-rolex-investment-3.jpgIt isn’t only art which is the ‘hot’ investment. Special edition or antique watches have been doubling or tripling in value and are now being sought out by the ‘investment’ minded. One of the Rolex models called the Submariner has seen its value leaping recently. The Fortune magazine recently covered it – see the scanned article. How about selling stocks to stock up on Rolexes? You might just make a killing!!





The Great Qurum Revival

25 07 2007

Qurum Showroom openQurum Shopping Complex is going through a revival.

Our Khimji’s Luxury & Lifestyle Store has been refurbished and is now ready to receive customers. Gonu came smack in the middle of our much-sought-after Summer Sale and the Qurum store took the brunt of it.

 But every cloud has a silver lining! After Qurum closed down, we found that our clients started patronising our MQ store, which till then had not really occupied their top-of-mind space. Now even though Qurum is back in action,we do believe that MQ will continue to attract customers. The Perfumery and Luggageware sections in MQ offer a lot more variety, so check that out too if you haven’t had a chance to visit it. Its right next to Caffe Vergnano 1882.





Carlos Coste – a long lasting champion

10 07 2007

1135_diving_2_coste.jpgKR is the exclusive distributor of Swiss Oris watches in Oman. Oris which has been associated with icons and celebrities from the world of Sports, Culture, Hollywood & Aviation, is also the watch partner of Carlos Coste, the world- class free-diver, who broke the world record by diving to a depth of 140m in 2006. 

After recovering from an injury in 2006, Carlos is currently competing at the AIDA World Championships 2007 in Slovenia. Now in peak physical fitness, he will attempt to beat the dynamic Pan American record with flippers. The world record holder is aiming to prove that he has made a complete recovery, and is set to remain a long-lasting champion.

Oris has a watch designed in his name which according to them is equally enduring and resilient, since it is water resistance to an unbelievable 2000 m. The Oris Carlos Coste Limited Edition watch, limited to only 2000 units worldwide, is perfect for the professional diver or watch enthusiast.

Any diving enthusiasts or watch collectors in Oman?
