Gerard Pique plays for FC Barcelona while Cristiano Ronaldo is the Real Madrid’s super star player. But, what’s the similarity between those two players? They both came from the same team: Manchester United before joining the La Liga football club. What else? Off the field, both players have special edition accessories created by Spanish leading watch manufacturers, TIME FORCE.

Anyway, CR7’s most notably contender is not Pique; it’s Leo Messi. Then, why did TimeForce pick him instead?

In my opinion, the Spanish watch company wish to pair the players from the clubs which has held long standing rivalry: Real Madrid vs Barcelona. Of course, they wanted Leo; that would be a perfect match. Unfortunately, he has already been other brand’s ambassador. Who else then has at least similar brand values as Messi?

Then, they found Barcelona’s defensive player GERARD PIQUE has dated Shakira, one of the sexiest singers in the world. And that leverages Pique to the highest level.

The men’s fashion accessories blog, Men-Access has featured the Cristiano Ronaldo watches and jewelry collections here; now it’s time for Gerard Pique’s.

Since September 2010, the Catalan footballer Gerard Pique has signed partnership Time Force, the leading watchmaker with more than 40 years experience and a presence in more than 50 countries. He met the press and declared that he found it “more difficult being a model than playing football”. However he was delighted to be the Time Force’s cast of stars, joining Cristiano Ronaldo and Elsa Pataky.

GERARD PIQUE WATCHES ULTIMATE COLLECTION consists of six models featuring stainless steel case and date display at 3 o’clock. Water resistant is to 100 m (10 atm). Made of 316 steel in a variety of finishes, the watches present understated, sporty deign and minimal detailing.

For this incident, the swimmer who won a record eight gold medals at single Olympics, in Beijing Games clarifies:

“I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment. I’m 23 years old and despite the successes I’ve had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again.”

Besides marijuana, what else did the Olympics phenomenon Michael Phelps ever use?

In curiosity, I searched on Coolspotter and found the facts. In case of fashion accessories, Michael Phelps was using Skeletal Metal ReconBracelet, Prada 75GS Sunglasses and Lacoste Men’s Trucker Cap.

Porsche Design presents all their latest collection in white including leather goods (bags, trolley/luggage, briefcase, credit card case, and coin purse), sunglasses, luxury shake pen, jewelry, lighter and cell phone. Wow, I think that’s incredible. White reflects all the color as what Isaac Newton said (simply recall the kaleidoscope of colors). And I interpret that the Porsche Design stuffs brings you all the colors of luxury and happiness.

The official explanation came from Roland Heiler, Managing Director of Porsche Design Studio said,

“The typical color of Porsche Design is black. The color white, on the other hand, stands for purity and also has the property that it highlights the shape of the product. These characteristics also make white an excellent medium for our minimalist design language.”

The new white collection conveys a technical look combination of white with metals like aluminum, titanium and stainless steel.

Wikipedia explains about Isaac Newton’s theory of color:

From 1670 to 1672, Newton lectured on optics. During this period he investigated the refraction of light, demonstrating that a prism could decompose white light into a spectrum of colors, and that a lens and a second prism could recompose the multicolored spectrum into white light.

He also showed that the colored light does not change its properties by separating out a colored beam and shining it on various objects. Newton noted that regardless of whether it was reflected or scattered or transmitted, it stayed the same color. Thus, he observed that color is the result of objects interacting with already-colored light rather than objects generating the color themselves. This is known as Newton’s theory of color.
