One philosophy Rolex has always believed in and contested is delivering the best. Rolex has been manufacturing watches which are no ordinary ones for ages. Rolex embarked on this journey of making watches almost a century ago and by far they are the best in the business. When one wears a Rolex watch it is like wearing their attitude up the sleeve and the feel of the same cannot be described in words.

Not just direction, Chris Weitz has produced films like In Good Company and American Dreamz making him a multi faceted person who can not only direct but can also write and produce films. He was invited to the sets of King Kong by the director Peter Jackson to get an idea how big budget films are made and the experience proved to be quite enriching for him. A recent project which has been making waves in the entertainment world is the Twilight Saga: New Moon. It has been directed by Chris Weitz and has adapted from twilight series novel by Stephanie Meyer.

Tony Shalhoub And Rolex GMT Master II; Masters Of Their Fields

Tony Shalhoub

Knowing what it takes to be a master of one’s field and having the perseverance to put in all the hard work to be a master is a very rare combination to be found. Not for Rolex though. When Hans started off almost a century ago he gave birth to an idea that has all along withstood the test of time quite successfully. Rolex brought in new features and newer technologies to change the way people looked at their watches. It ensured that each of the watches that it will make would be able to do justice to the name and the brand that it had built for itself. It virtually became the benchmark against which not only people but also the other watch maker judge their offerings. The same strengths and heritage was reflected in the GMT Master II, another top of the line timepiece from the house of Rolex. It has been made with the very best of craftsmanship, using latest technology and given stunning looks too. It in fact is true to its name and is a real master of its field.

In the competitive world of showbiz Tony Shalhoub is one name that can claim to be treated as a master. Born in Wisconsin, Tony started acting quite early in life through roles in plays. Taking acting seriously he went on to earn a Master degree from Yale School of Drama. He has done many memorable roles on television and films. He is well known for movies like Gattaca, Men in Black I and II, The Siege, Paulie and Spy Kids. His biggest claim to fame has been the TV series Monk, where he plays the title role and is a writer and Executive Producer too. Continuing his record straight he has been again nominated for Emmy Award 2009 for his role in Monk.

Rolex GMT Master II

This ensures that with a single watch you can simultaneously check the time for two different time zones. Taking it further up on the chart of popularity is the fact that the watch is water resistant to the depths of 100m. When all these features combine what you get is a master performance from the Rolex GMT Master II something which Tony Shalhoub does through his roles.

Jeff Goldblum And Rolex GMT Master II; Mad Geniuses

Jeff Goldblum

Mad geniuses have a way of endearing themselves to people around them because their efforts at understanding the small things in life are not cruel madness, but a passion that is infective. Goldblum is known for the ‘slightly different’ characters that he has always chosen to play. Neither the quintessential Hollywood hero nor the sinister baddie, Goldblum has carved a space out for himself that is best defined only by him and his fans. The GMT Master II like Goldblum is not a typical Rolex watch. It may come from the same stable but what makes it distinct from the other models is the fact that despite its quirks the GMT Master like its name suggests commands authority. The Rolex brand maybe called a mad genius because its attention to detail is so thorough that it might be referred to as maddening. Goldblum and the Rolex GMT Master are intense performers because they have a passion to add their little flavor of eccentricity to whatever they do and whoever they meet.

Goldblum studied acting at the Neighborhood Playhouse making his Broadway debut in The Two Gentleman of Verona. His onscreen debut was in Death Wish, a Charles Bronson film. He was next cast in California Split, Special Delivery, Nashville in the following years. He was finally cast in Annie Hall in ’77 and went on to do Between the Lines the same year.

Goldblum plays the German entertaining ringmaster to an assortment of varied people who share a common holocaust victim past, in this year’s Adam Resurrected.

The GMT Master II is a watch whose little quirks and details go into making it the superlative chronometer that it is. The watch has a 24 hour hand that comes with an independently adjustable 12 hour hand. This enables the wearer to check time in two different zones simultaneously. The dial of the GMT Master II is 40 mm in radius and a classic black in color. The steel and yellow gold watch has the ability to transform the personality of its wearer. The bezel is a special black rotatable one that is carved in ceramic. The GMT Master II is a self wound watch and waterproof to 330 feet.

Dustin Hoffman And Rolex GMT Master II; Timeless Heroes

Dustin Hoffman

Heroes like time are forever and if it is Dustin Hoffman that we are talking about here then such heroes illuminate our lives only once in a lifetime’s experience. Rolex was launched to cater to people who respected time for not only its value but the fact that once it passed it never comes back. Rolex made sure that the good times of your life were captured in timeless seconds and Hoffman’s performances are a few of those beautiful moments that you would always want to last forever.

Hoffman began acting at the Pasadena Playhouse and soon shifted to New York, where he started doing odd jobs all the while he was doing small roles on television. In 1960 Hoffman joined the renowned Actor’s Studio making a successful start in the off Broadway production of Eh? in 1966.

Hoffman continued teaching at night schools while directing community theater productions. Dustin landed his much famous role of Benjamin Braddock in the Graduate in ’66. He received an Academy Award nomination for the role. The same year a role in a Broadway production won him the Drama Desk Award. Soon after his role in the film Midnight Cowboy won him his second Academy nomination. Lenny filmed in 1974 was his claim to a third Oscar nomination.

Two brilliant stars Hoffman and Meryl Streep were cast to deliver performances that catapulted their fame in Kramer vs. Kramer. The much elusive Academy award finally caught up with him for this role. Hoffman’s fifth nomination came for Tootsie where he dressed as a woman to land a role. Hoffman received a Tony Award for playing the lead in Miller’s Death of a Salesman in 1985, a role that also won him a Golden Globe too.

Hoffman fans best remember him for his brilliant act as an autistic man in Rain Man alongside Tom Cruise. Predictably, he won his second Oscar for the role. In the 90’s Hoffman played Captain Hook in Spielberg’s Hook earning a Golden Globe nomination. It was later in the decade that Hoffman got seriously involved in the filming of American Buffalo, winning another Oscar nomination for Wag The Dog the same time. Dustin got a chance to act alongside Gene Hackman in Runaway Jury and a favorite actor of his Andy Garcia in The Lost City. Hoffman also did the voice over for Kung Fu Panda sharing a great rapport with co-star Jack Black. Hoffman was also nominated for a Golden Globe award for playing Harvey Shine in Last Chance Harvey.

Rolex GMT-Master II

The actor is a political liberal and has long supported the Democratic Party. Married to attorney Lisa Gottsegen and father to children and grandchildren who have had their bar mitzvahs, the actor has decided to be a practicing Jew now that he is getting older.

The GMT Master is a hero amongst Rolex watches because besides offering a timeless experience to its wearer the watch also comes with an independent 12 hour hand so you can keep a tab on a second time zone. The watch is extremely accessible to the user as it is self wound and is also waterproof to 100 meters. However, it is the design of the watch that arrests your attention the most. It is a brilliant combination of steel and yellow gold and the rotatable bezel in black offsets the black dial against it very effectively. The watch thrusts a heroic ability into its wearer for him to always want to make things good around him. The chunky 40 mm dial commands respect and the GMT Master knows that like Dustin Hoffman a stellar performance goes a long way in gaining that respect from people.
