Fake Watches are for Fake People


The Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie engages the arts, to raise awareness of the social impacts of the counterfeit timepiece trade

Part of the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie’s (FHH) raison d’être is a commitment to fighting counterfeiting and raising public awareness of its knock on effects. Counterfeit watch revenue is now estimated at over $400 billion, where counterfeiting siphons off 7% of world trade. The FHH believes that over 40 million fake watches are sold per year, when there were only 26 million genuine Swiss timepieces made in 2010 – a difference they believe raises over $1 billion for counterfeiters.
In January 2009, the Foundation joined forces with the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry to launch an international awareness campaign with visuals and a slogan declaring “Fake Watches are for Fake People.“ The FHH also has partnerships with international anti-counterfeiting organisations StopPiracy, Unifab and Indicam.

To reignite the counterfeiting discussion and educate consumers, the FHH launched a short-film competition for the general public and visual communication students at Lausanne University of Art and Design (ECAL), on the theme, Take a true look at fakes. Thirty “infomercials” and short films – cartoons, fictions and montages – were selected to be shown in Switzerland and internationally.
The latest campaign aims to inform the public about the peripheral effects of purchasing counterfeit goods. Highlighting the obvious impacts of lost revenue and intellectual property theft, but also exploring ethical and social issues such as child labour, money laundering, job losses and the link between counterfeiting revenues and organised crime.

Garuda 5 Golden Star



Garuda 5 Golden Star

I love this national watch brand, I think Garuda is the only local Indonesian brand who respect the reputation of Swiss made movement, it is very difficult to find reference of this watch in the internet, since this company has close down due to expensive cost for Swiss Made movement compare with the very high competition with quartz japan movement in Indonesia during that time (80s-90s).
I got a little information from a senior friend, this brand was produce by National Gobel and also got extra information from my favorite watch repairman who happen to be working in the factory in 70s.
My Garuda 5 Golden 5 still working well with all originality, got it from friend in Semarang.

Rado Captain Cook



Rado Captain Cook
 
Produce in later in late 1960s, a tonneau shape and using an internal rotating bezel adjustable by a second crown at 4:00. A 25-jewel automatic movement powers this iteration. These watches are also difficult to find today but were made in much higher quantities and seem to come on the market more frequently than the earliest model. A newer model has helped carry on the spirit of Captain Cook in the Rado collection.

I love this watch at the first sight! I think this is one of 'proper' design and rare collection of Rado watch selection, very mint condition and working so perfect, got it from a collector friend also.
