Learning To Tell the Time Would Have Been So Much Easier With a One-Handed Watch

Even though most of us grew up in a time when digital watches were the norm, learning how to read an analog clock face is a handy skill that would have been far easier to master were there only one moving hand like on these lovely Defakto watches.

These beautifully minimalist timepieces combine the hour and minute hands into a single sweeping arm that makes a full rotation twice a day. Because the hand ticks forward every five minutes, you can still get a fairly accurate sense of the time at a quick glance. It's probably not for those with a strong prescription, but for those of us keen on simpler designs it's $340 well spent. Unless, of course, you're completely dependent on a digital display.

How Humans Kept Time At the Olympics Before Machines Did All the Work

In 2009, Usain Bolt "shattered" Tyson Gay's world record in the 100-meter dash by a whopping .11 seconds. How do we know that? Because an ultra-precise, automated timekeeping machine told us so. It didn't used to be that way.

Olympic officials wisely relinquished control over the clock long ago, but once upon a time a guy held a stopwatch in his hand and started and stopped it to the best of his ability. Omega has been the official timekeeper for the Olympics since 1932, and the Olympic Pocket Watch 1932 above is a replica of the watch used that year. It keeps the regular time of day, and has a built-in stopwatch operated by the start and stop pushers on top.

The gorgeous pocket chronograph looks nothing like the big digital readouts we see in London, but don't let its old style fool you. The movement is very precise. It's just that humans suck at using it. [Omega via Christies via Business Insider]

Watch Made From Mount Everest Rock Is Still Cheaper Than Climbing It Yourself

You might scoff at spending almost seventeen grand on a relatively boring watch that's crafted from a chunk of rock brought down from Everest's summit. But when you consider an expedition up the world's tallest mountain can cost as much as $83,000, this timepiece actually becomes a slightly more affordable way to visit the top of the world. Kind of.

Handcrafted in Nepal, the chunk of Everest used in Kobold's Himalaya Everest Edition watch was actually brought down the mountain by watchmaker Michael Kobold and explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes back in 2009. But it took two years for a German company to cut and polish the rock into the seven millimeter thick discs used as the watches' faces to ensure they were all structurally sound and wouldn't crack. So if you and 24 others have always fantasized about visiting Everest but don't like the cold or risking your life, with this timepiece you can have the mountain brought to you.

This Stealthly Analog Smartwatch Can Be Your Little Secret

Smartwatches can have some pretty useful functionality, but maybe you don't want to broadcast to the world that you're wearing one, or maybe you just prefer good old-fashioned analog. The Citizen Eco-Drive Proximity was made with you in mind.

The Proximity, while appearing to be a somewhat regular watch, actually has some small words written around its rim, words like "Mail" and "Call." Whenever your phone goes off, the second hand discretely jumps over to point at the relevant word, without affecting the time-keeping of the piece at large.

It's a neat idea, but there are a few downsides. It's only for iPhone, and iPhone 4S or newer at that and it's not particularly cheap either at $550. Granted it's also just a nice watch, so that's what you're really paying for. After all, it's a smartwatch that can't even tell you who is calling, but that's your trade-off for stealth, I suppose. It'll be going on sale later this fall. [A Blog To Read via Engadget]

Average Day Watch Reveals How You Waste Your Life

The Average Day Watch does a lot more than just let you keep track of how long you've been sprawled out on the couch watching TV. It actually has the potential to improve your life, shaming you into physical activity or other pursuits by breaking down how the rest of civilization spends their days.

It turns out that the average human doesn't spend 21 hours in bed, and that 15 hour TV marathons aren't the norm. The revelations are as surprising as they are disappointing, particularly a generous section titled 'Social Life' which probably has nothing to do with Twitter or Facebook. For $230 it's a harsh dose of reality in a stylish timepiece, but where's the section for commenting on expensive and stupid watch designs on your favorite blog? [UncommonGoods]

This Vintage Soviet Space Watch Is the Ultimate in Cosmonaut Style

Micah Fitzerman-Blue - Bureau of Trade

With the demise of NASA's shuttle program, one of the best ways to get to space today is a $63 million seat on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft. Show the Cosmonauts how happy you are to come aboard by arriving to the launchpad wearing this beautiful vintage watch, which celebrates the achievements of the Soviet space program.

This fine 1979 timepiece is available at Bureau of Trade for $70. The watch is known as "Lunokhod," which means "moon walker." The Russians might be touchy about the fact that their countrymen have never successfully set foot on the lunar surface. Try to steer the conversation toward that other Moonwalker, Michael Jackson. Or, just use the watch as a stylish way to count down the seconds until you can catch a ride on SpaceX instead.

I don't wear a watch. I never have. If I did it would be more or less as a bracelet, but I dig the Sometimes Watch because it's just so simple and cool.

Bright colors remind you of the Swatch you might have worn in grade school, but its pared down to give it an air of sophistication. Buy it for $140 at the MoMA store, which by the way has a ton of really awesome stuff. This watch won't give you a super accurate read on the time, but it's a sweet little accessory. [MoMA]

You Don't Need a PhD in Astronomy To Decipher This Satellite Watch

It's still going to take some practice to be able to read the time at a glance, but Mr. Jones' new Satellite watch doesn't look as complicated as Tokyo Flash's latest efforts. And astronomy enthusiasts will appreciate its use of hour and minute markers that look like orbiting celestial bodies.

Instead of an LCD display or even numbers, the $195 Satellite's black watch face simply has a pair of spheres that reveal a series of colored dots as they orbit around its center. The colors follow a six hour pattern so eventually you'll be able to accurately estimate the time with a quick peek. But since the watch represents an entire 24 hours, it might be hard for some wearers to get used to the six o'clock mark actually denoting midnight.

No matter what's going on in your life today, there's always something else around the bend, something to anticipate or dread. This countdown clock helps you keep your hopeful sights on the former. Or the latter if you're a masochist.

The Mr. Jones countdown clock, aside from being a rather spiffy looking analogue clock on its own, has its own, built-in countdown mechanism that can support a wait of up to 999 days. When it comes to what you're counting down to, the clock comes with a built-in list including specific holidays to more vague goals like "Freedom" and "The party" to ones that can be construed as more terrifyingly forboding, like "They arrive" or "It's over."

If you need a classy countdown clock to remind you how long til "It's over" whatever "it" may be, the Mr. Jones clock is available now for $124. You could always just keep count in your head or on paper for free, but there's something fun about the idea of having one of these on your desk and responding with a dead-eyed stare whenever friends and coworkers ask you who "they" are and why they're coming.

Of course for a smartwatch to be any good it'd also have to work well, unlike some others we've seen. But Google Now, with its attempts (and reasonable success) at getting to know you better than you know yourself, you could get something that's actually interesting. So what do you say, would you be at all interested in a Google Smartwatch like this? You know, if it actually existed. [Adrian Maciburko via The Next Web]

Skull-based accessories are usually only popular with a certain demographic who've embraced the morbid side of life. But damned if this Last Laugh watch from Mr. Jones hasn't crossed the border into mainstream territories with a clever mechanism that shows the hour and minutes on the skull's teeth.

Powered by an automatic mechanical movement that basically means just wearing the watch keeps it wound, the Last Laugh is a little pricey at $260 for what is essentially a clever sight gag. But there are plenty of timepiece collectors out there (and well-heeled goths) who will no doubt snatch it up in droves. [Watchismo via Holycool]

If there's one sport that's managed to spawn an entire industry of bizarre gadgets promising to improve a player's game, it's golf. But Garmin's new Approach S2 watch manages to shine in a sea of mediocrity, providing a genuinely useful tool to golfers with a library of over 30,000 course layouts from around the world, available without the need for a mobile data connection.

At just 1.8 ounces the Approach S2 is lighter than carrying a dedicated GPS unit, or even relying on your phone. And during a round it uses GPS to measure the distance of a shot, as well as the yardage to the hole. It's also got a pedometer if you're curious how many steps you took from the green to your golf cart and back, a simple digital score card, and will drop in March for $250. [Garmin]

Simple Science Lets This Gorgeous Dive Watch Track Your Depth

Oris' new Aquis Depth Gauge might not be the first watch to let a diver track the depth of their underwater excursions, but it takes a unique approach to that functionality.

Instead of relying on electronics and sensors that can add bulk to a watch, the Aquis Depth Gauge features a thicker sapphire crystal with an air channel milled into the side that runs almost all the way around the dial. At the twelve o'clock position there's a small hole which lets water in when the diver gets deep enough for the surrounding pressure to compress the air in the channel. And using the numbers printed around the dial, they're able to read their depth by simply finding the spot where the water meets the air inside.

Known as a capillary depth gauge it's supposedly incredibly accurate, and there's absolutely no lag when taking a reading as it's perpetually being updated. However, it is lacking one important feature: the ability to remember what the diver's deepest depth was which is important to know when calculating a safe speed of ascent. So even if it does come in a badass waterproof briefcase full of tools and swappable straps, it's still kind of a bummer that Oris is asking $3,570 for a diving watch that might still require a separate piece of hardware.

郑幼林：雕鉴估皆精的三绝专家

　　新当选中国轻工业联合会、中国工艺美术学会联合评选的中国石雕艺术大师,长达55分钟的个人艺术专访在中央电视台国际频道播出,在海峡文化产权交易所[微博]主办的文儒讲坛开讲“寿山石雕刻与国学”,增补为第十二届福州市政协委员……寿山石雕艺术家郑幼林2012年可谓收获颇丰,实际上这位刚过不惑之年的雕刻家不仅是名闻国内外的寿山石雕大师,还是福州寿山石鉴定中心、福州雕刻工艺品总厂、福建省民间艺术馆[微博]、福建省寿山石文化艺术研究会等几乎全部寿山石鉴定机构的权威鉴定专家,以及福建几家寿山石拍卖机构的权威评估专家,更以其雕(刻)鉴(定)估(价)皆精的能力成为寿山石雕界投资收藏的首席顾问之一.

　　闻名国内外的田黄专业户

　　田黄石因石材稀少,自古就有“一两田黄三两金”之称,近年更是频频出现每克几万元甚至十几万元的天价成交记录.田黄石的珍贵导致普通雕刻家不敢轻易下刀,恐怕浪费石材而损耗田黄石雕的价值,而这种谨慎保守的创作态度在束缚雕刻家创作思路的同时,更是导致艺术性强的当代田黄石雕精品随着田黄石雕价格的走高却日趋少见.

　　作为寿山石雕界中青年的中流砥柱,上世纪60年代末出生于福州鼓山的郑幼林却以巧夺天工的构思和娴熟的雕刻技艺,创作出数量颇多的当代田黄石雕精品.郑幼林在熟练掌握各种寿山石雕刻技艺的基础上,运用圆雕与高浮雕相结合、写意与写实相结合的技法,大胆采用夸张艺术创作田黄石雕,不但整体构图符合当代审美标准,而且细节也均刻画得惟妙惟肖、形神兼备.与此同时,虽然他大胆以极费石材的圆雕技法创作田黄石雕作品,却也总能设计出最节省原材料的作品,这让其在业界一炮打响；加上其不仅精通各种雕刻技法,而且将传统美学、西方美术理论、中西方哲学融入寿山石雕之中,创作出了系列技艺精湛、艺术品位高雅的寿山石雕佳作.由于郑幼林创作的童子、弥勒等题材作品皆栩栩如生、风格独特,显示了其精湛的雕刻技艺和独有的艺术韵味,深得高端藏家青睐,故请其加工田黄者络绎不绝,甚至有人为请其雕刻,宁愿排队等数年也不肯让其他人雕刻,而郑幼林也因雕刻田黄作品数量较多而被石雕界和收藏界称为“田黄专业户”.

　　2012年,刚过不惑之年的郑幼林不仅当选中国轻工业联合会、中国工艺美术学会联合评选的中国石雕艺术大师,中央电视台国际频道更是制作并播出其长达55分钟的个人艺术专访,这也是中央电视台首次播出如此长时间的寿山石雕艺术家专访,这说明了其雕刻技艺已经得到了国内外业界的广泛认可和好评.而此前,其作品不仅先后入藏中国寿山石馆、福建博物馆、福建工艺珍品馆,而且其作品还于2009年入藏北京故宫[微博]博物院,成为作品入藏故宫博物院的首批当代石雕艺术家之一.

　　各大鉴定拍卖机构的权威专家

　　天遗瑰宝寿山石以“剖之斑斓具五彩,他山之石皆卑凡”的美誉冠绝天下.而与这美誉相伴的,则是数以百计的寿山石种,除了田黄石、芙蓉石、荔枝洞石等玩石者皆知的石种,还有善伯洞石、都成坑石、汶洋石等常见石种,更有尼姑娄、金狮峰、寺坪石等数量稀少之石种,其中如高山石等更分为四股四高山石、水洞高山石、桃花高山石等进一步细分的石种,虽然目前出版的专业寿山石书籍未能全部统一,但每种分法的石种也均在200种上下.因不同的石种从外形、色泽至肌理,都有其独特之处；再加上当前寿山石行情一路走高,造假技术也层出不穷,石种鉴别更加复杂难辨,这不仅让初入行之藏家无所适从,就是浸淫已久的资深藏家和从业数十年的雕刻家也常常“打眼”.

　　石种多且难区别,同等质地的作品因石种不同,价格则高低不等,甚至相差几倍乃至数十倍.作为决定鉴定机构水平高低和拍卖机构盈亏关键之所在的寿山石鉴定和评估专家,也就顺理成章成为各大鉴定机构和拍卖机构争相招揽的抢手人物.“田黄专业户”郑幼林不仅是名闻国内外的寿山石雕大师,而且还凭借数十年的雕刻经验和长期的寿山石学术研究、收藏经验、与众不同的眼光,成为寿山石雕界各大鉴定机构和拍卖机构的权威专家.目前寿山石鉴定权威机构主要有福州寿山石鉴定中心、福州雕刻工艺品总厂、福建省民间艺术馆、福建寿山石文化艺术研究会、福建省宝玉石协会等几家,郑幼林则是寿山石雕界惟一一个在这几家鉴定机构全部担任鉴定师的权威专家.

　　除了能准确鉴定石种之外,郑幼林还是海峡文化产权交易所、福州市寿山石文化艺术品交易所、福州雕刻工艺品总厂等举办寿山石拍卖机构的权威评估专家,他根据自己的经验和对市场行情的准确把握,总是能对送拍品给出最贴近市场价值的评估,给拍卖行提供相对准确的依据,从而使拍卖机构做出是否可以收件上拍的判断.

　　寿山石雕收藏投资的首席顾问

　　当前艺术品市场的巨大升值潜力已被大量爱好收藏的企业家所看好,也有数量颇多的巨额资金流入艺术品市场,但是艺术品应该如何收藏投资却一直是争论不休的难题,更是困扰着喜欢寿山石雕的各类人群.

　　作为既懂雕刻又精通鉴定和评估的权威专家,郑幼林近年来成为不少机构和个人的收藏投资顾问,其个人的投资收藏事例更是成为业界流传的经典范例.如其2009年辗转从别人手中购买的中国雕塑大师王则坚的作品《海的女儿》和中国工艺美术大师叶子贤的作品《六子戏弥》,当时是花了别人眼中的天价,结果却不到一年就翻了数倍.在石雕界,因郑幼林建议购买的寿山石雕短短时间内翻倍的例子可谓数不胜数,数倍升值的案例也屡屡出现,一些大型寿山石交易机构外出收购货品更是经常要其全程陪同.

　　针对喜爱寿山石雕的藏家,郑幼林提醒想介入寿山石领域的新人要注意寿山石雕专业知识的积累,要多看多问多把玩.“玩”石头首先是喜欢；其次是玩品味,要多玩品质典雅、工艺简炼淳朴的作品；再者是量力而行.对于热衷参与拍卖会的买家,在参加拍卖会之前需要对自己的心仪之物多做功课,听听专家对作品整体的评价,在了解拍品石种优劣、石质高低、有否瑕疵、作者是否名家等,以及作品创意和造型的好坏和文化品位高低等综合因素后,建立最基本的价值判断,并确保拍卖现场不受心理和环境的影响,方能从容应对瞬息万变的拍卖市场.

　　郑幼林经典语录

　　■寿山石的经济价值受多方面因素影响,包括整体的经济环境、作品的材质雕工、专业团队运营水平等.寿山石的人文价值是通过艺术家融合古今中外知识,根据石材特点,化腐朽为神奇.

　　■艺术品投资首先要准确了解本土的艺术品市场,要关注当地最受藏家和各大金融机构青睐、流通最广、在全国享有较高知名度的艺术品种,并对这些当地最有特色的艺术品类进行充分调研的基础上进行投资,方能获得最大收益.

天津贵金属及珠宝玉石饰品标识标准将实施

天津贵金属及珠宝玉石饰品标识标准将实施

　　人民网[微博]·天津视窗1月31日电:临近春节,珠宝首饰也将迎来销售高峰.为维护珠宝首饰市场经济秩序,天津市质监局公布了《贵金属与珠宝玉石饰品标识》地方标准,对贵金属与珠宝玉石饰品的标识、销售票据内容和要求等作出明确规定,标准将于今年2月15日起实施.届时,消费者买珠宝将有依据,挑选珠宝不再眼花缭乱,可以凭借标签标识进行辨别.

　　标识标签待规范

　　目前,珠宝行业中标识混乱现象普遍存在, 有的商家不标注珠宝玉石名称,还有的用“产品寓意”代替珠宝饰品名称.有的仅标注行业内不规范的商业俗称,翡翠B货、24K黄金等等这些出现在首饰标签上,人们耳熟能详的名称,其实都是一些不规范的商业俗称.有的不法零售商甚至混淆、杜撰珠宝玉石和贵金属名称,“沙金”、“钯铂金”、“锻压金”等不规范标签名称已成为部分珠宝店误导消费者的伎俩.一些商家以次充好,以假乱真,如有的以合成钻石充当天然钻石,按新出台的《标准》要求,人工合成钻石必须注明“合成”二字.

　　买珠宝将有依据

　　按照《标准》,饰品的交付应包括饰品标识和销售票据.其中,饰品标识由印记、标签和其他标识物等组成.

　　饰品标识的内容应简明、准确,易于阅读和理解,并包括必要的中文警示说明.贵金属饰品印记应清晰地标注:厂家代号(已备案的厂家代号或注册商标等)以及贵金属材料及纯度；钻石镶嵌饰品的印记应清晰地标注:主钻石的质量(主钻石质量大于0.10ct时),配镶石为钻石的,可单独标注出配镶钻石的总质量.

　　印记内容要求完整、清晰、准确,打印在易于观察的位置；当贵金属饰品主体和配件的纯度不一致时,其印记应分别标注,当饰品由两个单体或两个以上单体组成时,其印记应分别标注等等.

　　标签标注内容至少应包括饰品名称、产品标准编号和生产企业(或销售商)的名称；以质量计量单位作为计价单位进行销售的应标注质量；以饰品整体进行计价销售的应标注销售价格.饰品名称由材质名称和品种名称组成.例如:翡翠手镯、铂(Pt)950蓝宝石戒指,其中,翡翠、铂(Pt)、蓝宝石为材质名称,手镯、戒指为品种名称.此外,钻石饰品应逐件附带有钻石分级证书或鉴定证书.

　　需注意的是,群镶珠宝玉石的饰品,命名中应包含价值最高、体积最大或数量最多的珠宝玉石的名称,其他珠宝玉石应该在标签的其他位置或其他标识物中明确标注.

　　销售票据应该写点啥？

　　与国内其他城市出台的类似《标准》相比,本市出台的《标准》一大亮点是,对票据提出了明确要求.

　　饰品销售票据上填写出的内容应至少包括经营企业名称、饰品名称、质量或规格、价格以及相关法律法规中规定的内容.经营企业的名称应为依法登记注册的企业名称.饰品名称由材质名称和品种名称组成,应与标签上所示一致.其中对于钻石饰品,裸钻或镶嵌钻石主石大于0.10ct的钻石饰品,应在销售票据上注明钻石质量,以克拉(ct)为单位；贵金属饰品,以质量计量单位作为计价单位进行销售的饰品,应注明其质量,以克(g)为单位.应与标签上所示一致.此外还包括价格及要求等.(记者 郑东红 通讯员 穆巍)

玉雕师巧手雕刻翡翠罂粟劝人戒毒

玉雕师巧手雕刻翡翠罂粟劝人戒毒

钱贵根在仔细雕琢玉器.

　　广佛都市网讯 佛山日报记者刘先进报道:“鉴玉尚质,执玉尚谨,用玉尚慎.”小小一块玉石,在他眼中,不仅是一件饰品,还是一件富含哲理的艺术品:能传递正能量,藏金玉良言,可劝人远离毒品,可宣扬环保.

　　他是钱贵根,首创“三水工”,被称为“中华玉雕艺术大师”.

　　自创“三水工”,人称“花件王”

　　钱贵根是三水人,28岁时前往香港谋生,并在一家玉器小作坊中学习玉器制作.虽然没有系统学过玉雕技术,他却自学成才.1979年,钱贵根回到三水,办起三水当时第一间外商企业,并在上世纪90年代创立品牌“碧玉丰珠宝”.

　　多年磨练,让钱贵根吸取了传统工艺的精髓及各种雕刻技艺之长,不断创出新花式,形成手法独特、工艺精湛的“三水工”.“‘三水工’外形大小厚薄适中、外形长宽比例符合黄金比.雕工继承传统砣工的旋转流畅、气势奔放,并结合象牙工的精雕细琢.”钱贵根说,“三水工”花件以细致创新的工艺著称,在传统设计基础上大胆采用不同颜色的翡翠原料,以流畅的线条为基调,糅合文化元素于花件当中,流露高雅华丽、清雅自然的气质.

　　由于工艺独特,钱贵根被誉为“花件王”.三水玉雕已成功申请为三水区第四批区级非物质文化遗产项目.作为玉雕继承人,钱贵根在去年还被中华工商联合会授予“中华玉雕艺术大师”称号.

　　翡翠壁挂劝人戒毒

　　温润如玉的钱贵根,喜欢将对社会现象的思考注入玉雕中,“做玉雕不能向商业低头,要有自己的思考和意境,将正能量传递进去,关键不在雕刻,而在创意和想法.”

　　十几年前,有感于有人染上毒瘾不能自拔,钱贵根用翡翠创作了壁挂《罂粟》.在壁挂上,三株罂粟正妖艳的盛开,下方附了一首他写的诗《罂粟——美丽的陷阱》:一吸毒品终世穷,二脚踩入无底洞,三代受累全家苦,四处借钱债台重,五体发抖瘦如柴,六亲不认兽性凶……

　　壁挂问世后,获得全国玉雕“天工奖”.令人想不到的是,不少酒家、歌舞厅还找上门来购买.2002年,钱贵根将此作品捐赠给三水的禁毒部门,作为禁毒公益宣传专用纪念品.

　　钱贵根还雕过一片落叶,并题诗《根对叶的赞美》赞美老一辈革命人士的奉献精神:“你的抢先,不是为了地位,而是追求光明……你的离去,不是为了解脱,而是顾全大局；你的腐烂,不是为了歪念,而是落叶归根.”

　　玉雕作品宣扬环保

　　钱贵根很多作品都是利用废弃原料做成的.

　　他曾创造一件名为“2002年”的作品.钱贵根说,“2OO2年”既表示年份,又是氧气的化学式,两个标点符号和字母H很接近,组合起来是水的化学式HO2,氧气和水恰恰是人类生存的必要条件；“年”字为绿色,寓意大树；“年”字下方,围住了黄、白、黑、棕四色栏杆,寓意全球四色人种齐心保护环境.

　　尽管荣誉等身,但钱贵根仍孜孜不倦的推广玉雕文化.目前,其玉器文化展览已走遍全国.今日,他将在三水广场举行三水长寿翡翠文化展,“希望有更多人了解玉雕,喜欢上玉雕.”

　　“眼看就要过年了,老板却玩起了失踪.”昨日,关先生十分焦急地向记者诉说,他的老板在云良路康华楼开起了这家珠宝行,除请了一批员工加工首饰外,还将店内11个玻璃柜租给了玉器商人进行经营,生意一直不错.可在本月22日下午,关先生突然接到店老板电话,称有事跟他商量.“他说他出了点事,这两天不能呆在店里,让我帮他看一下店.”关先生说,在征得他同意后店老板将店钥匙给了他.“不知为何,后来老板的电话就一直打不通了.”

　　老板失踪的事爆出后,在珠宝店内租柜台卖玉器的商人虽然合同期未到,也提出撤走的要求.“我让他们先把货留下继续经营,其他事情等找到老板再作处理.”关先生说因为受了老板的嘱托,他不能擅作主张让玉器商人搬走店内货物,这批商人当时表示理解也答应了他的建议.可第二天他仍然联系不到店老板,害怕玉器主真的拿货走人,他店也没开就将店门给锁上,可在26日那天就发现店门被撬开,店内玉器主租的11个玻璃柜内的玉器全部不见了,他立即报了警.

　　根据警方初步调查,该珠宝店老板已经失踪几天,在店里租柜台卖玉器的商人想拿回玉器走人,但店里员工就说老板还没回来,不让他们搬货走,所以才有珠宝店大白天被撬门的事情发生.警方表示,这是一起经济纠纷案,警方正在进一步调查协调处理此事.

年底淘绝当品很划算：首饰玉器手表居多

年底淘绝当品很划算：首饰玉器手表居多

　　楚天金报讯 金报讯(记者彭鹏)一心想买条铂金项链的方女士,昨日中午特意到积玉桥一家典当行淘宝.她看中一款项链,重3.98克,每克仅售358元,她二话不说立马掏钱买单,“要知道铂金在商场一克500多元,这里便宜好多,买回去找个师傅重新改个款式就行了”.

　　岁末,典当行的“绝当品”开始增多,又到了捡便宜的好时机.所谓“绝当”,业内人士也叫“死当”.一般来说,过了当期5天,典当者没有赎回的物品就成了“绝当品”.记者近日走访发现,“绝当品”中贵金属首饰、钻石玉器、手表品类最多,其中贵金属首饰最受青睐,尤其是黄金饰品,占总销售的六成以上.“绝当品”价格均比市场价便宜,其中手表比市场价便宜一半,饰品黄金每克仅359元.

　　其他典当品,类别不一样,折扣也不相同.一般来说,钻石的评判标准略多,讲究净度、白度、光洁度,一般是市场价的六到七折；名表则是市场价的五折到六折；玉器在收取时按照市场批发价,然后加收一定的利润卖给消费者,但肯定比市场价便宜.

　　据悉,购买“绝当品”在北京、上海等发达城市较为普遍,武汉市民接受度相对较低.瑞恒典当行首席典当师潘建伦说,典当行在收当时,为了绝对控制放贷风险,会对当品进行严格把关.无论是名表、翡翠玉石珠宝首饰、数码产品都会经过仔细鉴定和价值评估所以,“绝当品”都是货真价实.珠宝首饰都可以后期进行加工改款式,只要价格合适,不妨当即买下.

　　市民如果有意愿购买“绝当品”,应该常到典当行看看,并与市场价进行比较,遇到合适的或者自己需要的再买.在购买时一定要求典当行提供物品的详细资料和单据.“绝当品”出门后,多数典当行不提供退换货服务.

寿山石白皮书打造行业权威报告

寿山石白皮书打造行业权威报告

《2011年度寿山石市场分析报告》封面

　　本报讯 记者林娟 昨日,记者了解到,福建省民间艺术馆[微博]将于春节后发布《2012年度寿山石市场分析报告》,这本报告被寿山石行业称之为“寿山石市场白皮书”.业内人士告诉记者,省民间艺术馆每年发布一份白皮书,不仅意味着我省寿山石市场有了专业的市场研究成果, 也忠实的记录了每年寿山石市场的行情演变,对行业未来的发展具有非常积极的参考意义.

　　寿山石“白皮书”

　　开行业调研报告先河

　　据了解,进入新世纪,寿山石开始跻身拍卖市场,以多年来强劲的市场表现,在各收藏门类中的地位也逐步得以凸显.受国内艺术品市场整体态势的影响,2012年寿山石市场的行情表现也相应回落.不过,值得宽慰的是,从数据上看,与其他工艺美术门类相比,寿山石的表现则较为坚挺,个别品种甚至表现出逆势走强的格局,比如说田黄石.田黄石的优异表现已经引起整个艺术品收藏市场的关注.并有媒体将2012年的寿山石市场称之为“田黄年”,足以看出业界对这一版块的重视.寿山石越来越受到藏家的关注,已经成为艺术品市场关注的热点之一.

　　“虽然近几年寿山石的市场行情较为突出,然而相较书画等成熟门类,工艺美术在艺术创作、文化传承以及市场拓展方面上都还比较薄弱,因此非常需要专业研究机构的介入”,省民间艺术馆馆长夏浈介绍,这是省民间艺术馆转型的主要原因,“我们发布这份报告的目的,是期望通过大量的实地调研和数据分析,对过往市场表现忠实的记录和总结,还原真实的市场环境,每年发布这样一份报告回顾市场,也算是我们对这个行业做的一点微薄的贡献.”

　　据悉,福建省民间艺术馆于2011年开始着手调研、撰写寿山石拍卖市场调研报告,旨在从市场层面客观把握当前寿山石拍卖市场的发展现状,辨析寿山石行情发展特点和规律,分析寿山石在国内艺术品市场所处的地位,研究当前制约寿山石行业进一步发展的因素,为更好地促进寿山石市场持续健康发展提供决策依据.2012年初春,福建省民间艺术馆发布了首份报告——《2011年度寿山石市场分析报告》,同时这也是当代工艺美术领域第一个细分行业的市场分析报告.这本报告由人民日报出版社出版,报告发布之后反响热烈,获得业界及收藏家的广泛赞誉.

　　宏观分析微观指导

　　研究市场现状 研判市场走势

　　而据记者了解,《2012年度寿山石市场分析报告》目前也已经编写完毕,省民间艺术馆将于春节过后发布.报告内容包括经济环境影响下的艺术市场整体态势、寿山石拍卖行情走势、市场突出现象分析以及福州地区寿山石一级市场的调研分析等.在宏观、微观两个层面上对艺术品市场现状及其变化特点进行考察,并对市场未来做出科学判断.

　　相较2011年的首份“白皮书”,此次白皮书内容还增加了对福州寿山石一级市场的调研,并对2012年度寿山石拍卖市场热门艺术家的作品进行了数据整理和分析.这些内容的扩充使这份报告的视野更为全面.不仅从市场中的宏观数据着手分析上,还深入解读寿山石的区域发展情况,并从藏家审美转变及市场推广方面剖析寿山石市场环境.

　　一位寿山石资深藏家告诉记者,省民间艺术馆发布寿山石市场白皮书,将在很大程度上促使市场成熟理性,帮助藏家掌握市场规律.这份白皮书不仅能够让藏家了解寿山石行业发展现状,还可以为寿山石的投资者和收藏机构提供相关专业性的市场信息和学术层面上的帮助,白皮书是寿山石行业逐步完善走向成熟的一个标识.

　　专业的寿山石市场分析

　　促进市场的逐步成熟

　　报告中指出,伴随市场行情的变化,2012年寿山石拍卖市场呈现非常鲜明两极分化趋势、高价藏品保持强势、低价位藏品交投活跃而中端市场疲软的M型的市场结构已经确立.收藏群体在拍场中表现较为理性,出手相对谨慎.而拍卖机构为应对市场趋势纷纷调整经营策略,精简数量、提高品质成为普遍措施,成熟的拍卖机构关注收藏群体审美需求的同时更加追求精耕细作,向着专业化、学术化的发展方向不断进步.在经历了2011年艺术市场的火爆之后,2012年的市场趋势回落.这一态势既促使了各方从业人员开始调整经营策略,也留出空挡让人们对整个市场进行冷静的思考与重新认识,于是消除泡沫、回归理性成为今年市场中的价值主导.在此关头,如何重新梳理寿山石的市场脉络,客观理性地认识市场的周期性变化,发现市场中存在的问题以及寻求扭转的途径,成为整个行业的当务之急.

　　同时,2012年寿山石市场中所呈现出的诸多新现象,也为行业带来很多新的思考.比如成熟的拍卖机构在市场弱势环境中,如何以其专业化的运营来引导市场趋势,其结果是否体现了机构投资者对寿山石市场的预期？艺术家重要作品的市场表现是否意味着寿山石雕刻艺术的发展趋势？这些问题都将对未来寿山石市场产生深远影响.如何判断寿山石市场行情与趋势,如何看待寿山石市场格局和现状,以及如何促进行业提升自身在工艺美术领域中的地位,这份报告都将一一阐述.

　　“我们发布这份报告的目的,就是期望通过大量的实地调研和数据分析,对过往市场表现忠实的记录和总结,还原真实的市场环境,并尽量发现市场的盲点和误区.希望这份报告能够对业界有所启迪,并帮助收藏家和投资者完善自身投资策略,共同促进寿山石行业的健康发展.”省民间艺术馆馆长夏浈向记者介绍.
