As we reported earlier this week, the Golden Globes purple carpet was crammed with Hollywood’s largest stars carrying watches from the world’s largest manufacturers.
Omega, Bulgari, TAG Heuer and Jaeger-LeCoultre watches have been worn by the likes of Robert Downey Jr., Cillian Murphy and Selena Gomez, all of whom performed their model ambassador roles on the awards.
However what the general public values above all else is authenticity, and a giant star who wears your model only for the love of it normally comes out on high.
This was the case with Sherpa, a small impartial watchmaker from Germany, whose watch was chosen for the Golden Globes by inventive director Mark Hampton, husband of Christina Ricci.
The watch he selected was the Sherpa OPS, whose elements are engraved with Tibetan Buddhist mantras mentioned to carry karma.
“We microscopically engraved the Tibetan Buddhist mantra OM MANI PEME HUNG, which could be very generally used within the Sherpa area, on two wheels of the clockwork. Impressed by the widespread Himalayan Buddhist custom utilized in prayer wheels, the clockwork’s gears continually flip, sending vibrations of affection, knowledge and compassion out of your wrist instantly into the world – 30 million instances per yr. You’ll not discover the mantra with the bare eye. As an alternative, you’ll really feel it,” explains Martin Klocke, founding father of Sherpa Watches.
