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.

After three times bringing you the American Idol’s Pendant Necklace, today I present you the Recycled Pendant Necklaces made from Silver-plated Fork. Support the “green” eco-friendly concept accessories, Guys!

These handmade pendants are available in very limited pieces as the creator GUS KARLSON a.k.a Dr Gus specializes in unique, one-off creations primarily in the jewelry design field. He loves to work with old components and endeavor to deliver a type of post-modern primitive that has as its focus the inherent forms and aesthetic value of the components involved.

The components he uses are almost exclusively reclaimed materials. They are relics of the past that in some cases were miniature works of art in themselves or simply utilitarian utensils. Through his twisted transformation, the materials are not thrown away, forgotten, or melted down. Instead, Doctor GUS gave them a chance to live a second life of luxury, to be admired for their lines and forms as opposed to purely the quality of its desired operation.

GUS KARLSON said,

“I am a firm believer in recycling and conservation. However, my view is that old items are always better than new, no matter how sustainable the manufacturing processes involved. I like to think that I am doing more good in the long run by personally recycling objects. And in turn as I disburse my gains from it I can additionally help small businesses and causes I support.”

At these collections, you can find Fork Pendant with broken china ceramic, Rhyolite, Lapis Stone, Obsidian stone or Fossilized Coral. Prices range from $11.99 to $16.99 per pendant at Dr. Gus’s Etsy Shop.

Kris Allen of American Idol

Kristopher Neil Allen (born June 21, 1985) shockingly won the eighth season of American Idol since the runner-up Adam Lambert had received a significant amount of media attention throughout the season and was widely perceived to be the show’s front-runner. His victory was seen as highly controversial as viewers and the media speculated about the details of the result.

However, Allen received many praises from the judges upon his performance throughout the competition. Performing “To Make You Feel My love” on Top 11, Allen earned compliment from Simon Cowell who commented, “I am genuinely beginning to think you have a shot of doing well in this competition.” Simon’s praise was continued on the Top 9 show in which he lauded “Ain’t No Sunshine” arrangement on keyboard as Allen’s “best performance so far.”

On the second Top 7 show, KRIS ALLEN performed an original, acoustic version of “She Works Hard for the Money” to earned praise from all four judges; Paula Abdul remarked, “There aren’t many men who are willing to shop in the women’s department. You shopped and found a perfect fit.” For his second Top 3 performance, Allen impressed the judges with an acoustic arrangement of Kanye West’s “Heartless”, prompting Randy Jackson to state that he preferred it to West’s original and The Fray’s cover version. Cowell agreed and said, “I had written you out of the competition but that has changed after that performance.”
