Following the recommendation of Swiss watch brand Omega, the European Tour and the Asian Tour have forged an agreement which brings the two golf organizations together. Thus, in 2009, the Omega European Masters held at the Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club in Switzerland will make history as the first European golf tournament to receive co-sanctioning by the Asian tour. Of the 156 players to be featured in 2009’s tournament, 30 will hail from the Asian tour. Expressing his pride in Omega’s role in the historic agreement, Stephen Urquhart, President of Omega stated: “At Omega, we are excited about the emergence of golf as a truly global sport. We commend both the Asian and European Tours for following up on our initiative and implementing our proposal that the two tours join forces.” Equally enthusiastic is Kyi Hla Han, Executive Chairman of the Asian Tour, who considers Omega’s invitation to be telling recognition of the Asian Tour’s significance. This season alone, the Asian Tour will feature 30 tournaments with up to USD $39 million in prize money up for grabs. “It is a terrific milestone for the Asian Tour”, Han said. “Since 1999, the Asian Tour has worked closely with The European Tour through a successful co-sanction program in Asia and our talented players have taken the opportunity to broaden their playing careers. With the Asian Tour scheduled to visit Europe for the first time in 2009, I believe it will pave the way for our Tour and playing members to enjoy greater achievements.” Regarding the auspicious timing of the agreement, Keith Waters, The European Tour’s Director of International Policy stated: “The Asian Tour and its Members have made a significant contribution to the development of the European Tour International Schedule over the last decade. It is timely and appropriate for The European Tour to support Omega’s request to co-sanction this historic event. “This arrangement extends Omega’s support of golf and The European Tour both in Europe and Asia. This event will create more opportunity for Asian Tour Members to develop their careers on the international stage and play the picturesque venue of Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club.” Omega, famed as the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games since 1932, has long provided support for Asian golf. Among other events, the Swiss watch brand serves as title sponsor for the China Tour and such notable events as the Omega Mission Hills World Cup.Shop By Omega CollectionRelated articles in Omega newsOmega Beijing 2008 Unique No. 8 Watch Collection, 32 Timepieces In a Spectacular Edition Of OneOmega Hosts James Bond “Quantum Of Solace” Exhibition In Geneva

Brawn’s Formula 1 driver Jenson Button claimed his sixth consecutive season win in Istanbul, Turkey on June 7th, 2009. This notable accomplishment is one shared by only an elite few F1 superstars, namely Alberto Ascari, Juan Manuel Fangio, Jim Clark, and Michael Schumacher. In each of these instances, the driver went on to ultimately clinch the title of World Champion. Prior to Jenson Button’s fourth consecutive Grand Prix victory, Great Britain had not seen one of its own win four consecutive F1 races since 1992–the year in which Nigel Mansell pulled off the feat, and finished his brilliant season by claiming the world title. Button has amassed 61 points in total, having dropped just four points through the season. On Button’s wrist through the post-race celebration was the titanium Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Squadra World Chronograph, a reversible rectangular timepiece offering two distinct identities–a three-counter chronograph, and a world time function. Sharing his impressions of the race, the elated 29-year old Englishman said, “Today, the car was the best it’s felt all year. It was immense, it just keeps getting better. Maybe it suits this track more than others.” More about Jaeger-LeCoultre:Jaeger-LeCoultre brand & timepiece collectionsJaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Squadra World Chronograph Jaeger-LeCoultre product blogsJaeger-LeCoultre news Shop By Jaeger LeCoultre CollectionRelated articles in Jaeger LeCoultre newsJaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso 976 WatchJaeger-LeCoultre Squadra Shares Victory At 2008 Triple Crown Polo Season

Following upon the global success of the 22nd James Bond adventure “Quantum of Solace”, Swiss watchmaker Omega will hold a Geneva exhibition that showcases costumes and memorabilia from the film. The exhibition opened on December 17th, and will conclude on January 15, 2009. The Omega Seamaster watch has been a prominent symbol of the modern James Bond, appearing in every movie since 1995’s “Goldeneye”. Bond’s current alter-ego, Daniel Craig, has kept the franchise strong, relying upon his Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M Co-Axial Chronometer to coordinate his hazardous missions. Visitors to Geneva’s Cite du Temps can also view the Tom Ford tuxedo which Daniel Craig wears while seeking out the bad guys during the scene at the Tosca opera performance.
