Hey, Swatch, move over; there is a new kid in town, and it is way cooler than anything before in the market!

Miami-based Kronos America hosted its official launch of the Ice-Watch® product line in conjunction with this year’s Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles. Among the great number of celebrities wearing these stylish time-pieces were Paris Hilton, Jennie Garth, Felicity Huffman, actress and model Ali Landry, Twilight’s Edi Gathegi, and Gilles Marini, just to name a few.

It has been repeatedly noted that some of the coolest trends start in Europe before they catch on in the United States. One generation ago that new trend was initiated by Swatch watches shortly after MTV was launched. Today, after the 2009 holiday U.S. debut, the coolest must-have watch from Europe is the Ice-Watch®. Ice-Watch® wrist-watches are available not only in 1,000+ stores in 27 countries, but also in a constantly growing number of stores within the United States.

Born in 2007, Ice-Watch® is an international concept developed during a meeting of Jean-Pierre Lutgen, Polly Yu, and Christy So. The drawing and design is managed in Belgium, the manufacturing facility is in Shentzen, and distribution is handled through a facility in Hong Kong. From the beginning, Ice-Watch emphasized its commitment to social responsibility (“Success is complete when shared.”) by promoting young artists in Europe, supporting the victims of the earthquake in China, and sponsoring local basketball clubs.

The Ice-Watch® wrist-watches impress not only through the vast spectrum of colors from traditional earth tones to bright hues ranging from deep purple to neon yellow; they are also in a very affordable price range between $85 and $335. Literally, the Ice-Watch® collection is designed to offer something for everybody and for every conceivable occasion. It is truly adaptable to the lifestyle of the moment, may it be work, sports, holidays, parties, or more. The variety of Ice-Watch® watches suits the professionally inclined preppie, the mom-on-the-go, the surfer on the beach, the extreme athlete on his bicycle, or the beauty-demanding fashionistas.

That being said, Ice-Watch® watches are available in an eye-popping variety of collections such as Classic, Sili, Flower, Gold & Silver, Chrono, Gold Rose, Neon, Ocean, 1844, XXL, and Stone. Especially the Neon collection, high on style and low on price, promises a bold time for young people. Magazines like InStyle (May 2009 Issue) or Aventura, “The Source For Intelligent Living”, (November 2009 Issue) recommended Ice-Watch® products to their readers, either as a gift for the favorite time-challenged person, or as a fitting condiment to the new outfit.
