Don’t Keep Your Love a Secret

admin — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 17:48:32 +0000

It is a little known fact that the months of November and December produce more engagements than any other time. There must be something about the celebratory air that begins with Halloween and moves into Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I think we get happy and open up our heart for all things good. Those feelings increase our seratonin levels and grow our love. Be that as it may, this is the time to show our love in all kinds of original ways. A walk in the metro parks holding hands with the leaves falling all around is a picture to be treasured. Going to a festival and enjoying fun events and yummy goodies, hanging seasonal decorations together, and sharing good times with friends all grow this love.

Don’t hesitate to preserve these memories forever. Keep a picture in your mind of these beautiful times. Better yet, put that visual picture into something that reminds you all the time (http://www.hourpowerwatches.com/). But, whatever you do, know that you are growing and enhancing your love.

And, who knows, it might lead to a marriage proposal. Enjoy the season.

We Finally got Our Top 2 Watches Back in Stock

admin — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 17:06:06 +0000

This has certainly been a strange summer for our watch company (www.HourPowerwatches.com)—and probably all watch companies. We placed our order for a new supply in January and expected them 2 months later—but they never came. We kept calling and the factory kept pushing up the date of arrival.

We ran out of our most popular styles—The Maxim and The Sophisticate— and we still couldn’t push up the date. We begged. We pleaded that we now had a waiting list. We even resorted to yelling. To no avail. That’s because the Japanese movements that keep our unique, high quality watches ticking could not be produced fast enough. It seems that after the Japanese earthquake, the electric power was rationed on half time to all manufacturing companies. Therefore, the orders took more than twice as long to be produced.

No matter. We wouldn’t compromise with any other movement in our watches. We know our customers count on our timepieces to produce absolutely accurate time—all the time.

It was worth the wait. They just came in—handsome, special, with the best quality movement.

Think About Your Mom

admin — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 12:55:15 +0000

Think about your mother. Think about what she has done to help you grow up. Think about the hours, the days, the months, and the years that she has been involved with nurturing you. Mother’s work is never done when it comes to her children and her family. Moms often think about others long before they think about themselves. Their goal is to raise strong children who make a contribution to our world.

That’s why Mother’s Day is the second most important celebration in America (Christmas is #1). I look for a way to say, “thank you” to my mom, and let her know she is in my thoughts often. The best way to do that is to give her a customized gift that carries engraved words and a cherished picture that offers quiet moments of contemplation. Add the element of time and you have a complete package of sentiment and utility to be used and treasured everyday of the year.

Time to Remember Mothers Day

Each year we have an opportunity to honor our Mothers on this special day. We make the effort to buy candy, flowers and greeting cards. All these gifts, although nice, have a short shelf life. None of these gifts preserve memories of husbands, sons and daughters or grandchildren.

That’s the reason why, I think it makes good sense to give the gift of HourPower® “time” to these special women. These personalized keepsake locket watches are so treasured because they carry words and cherished pictures of the family. They capture a moment in time that can be relived just by opening the secret chamber of the HourPower Watch. It is amazing the rush of emotion and love that is felt when the lid is lifted and smiling faces beam out at you.

These high quality, stainless steel timepieces at www.hourpowerwatches.com, can be engraved with your own heartfelt words and can hold permanent picture discs. They are a perfect way for mom to be connected with her family and feel their appreciation and love all 8,760 hours of the year.

“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”

It provides you with a quiet moment to stabilize and center yourself, no matter what is going on. It celebrates your sobriety whenever you check the time.

Consider this watch as your meaningful companion on your journey. It is a constant in a world of change. Let your HP timepiece have a place on your wrist at all times.

Fall Rains Keep us Indoors & Planning for the Holidays

admin — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 14:36:37 +0000

It’s October and rain is falling all across America. There have been floods down south, hail in Arizona and storms in the east. Fall is usually the time that we’re outside raking leaves, selecting pumpkins or harvesting apples. But, instead, we’re cooped up inside and feeling kind of gloomy.

The only way to perk ourselves up, is to start planning for the holidays. This pause in the seasons allows us to stop and collect our thoughts around gifts that we want to give to those we love. It’s also the time to get the best prices for those gifts because all of the merchants are offering free shipping and early sales.

That’s what we’re doing at HourPower Watches. We’re putting lots of our handsome keepsake watches that open to pictures and engraved words on sale. Plan early for those men in your lives who will be delighted to find this fun and meaningful present under the tree. Stop and think about milestone celebrations that are approaching and nab a gift that will be treasured forever.

Thoughts Turn to Loved Ones as Fall Approaches

admin — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 12:46:15 +0000

I love this time of year. You look out the window and it is a constant changing scene. One day the leaves are green and the next they are turning all shades of beautiful colors. This always reminds me of the many cherished memories I have growing up in the circle of a loving family. We used to hike and dream of our plans for the holidays. We talked about the special foods we would bake and the wonderful gifts we wanted to find to make everyone feel happy.

Once again, the changing seasons make me plan for the upcoming months of gift giving. I feel especially confident because I have found the perfect way to make our beloved memories last a lifetime. When I have treasured words engraved on the lift tab of the HourPower Watch, I can smile with the knowledge of that message being revisited throughout the years. I know that the lasered sterling picture of our family will stand the test of time as a beloved sight over and over again.

So, bring on the season. I’m armed with the magic gift of HourPower time that connects us to those we love.

Sweetest Day is the Time for HourPower Watches

admin — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 13:44:41 +0000

I remember the first time I received a gift for sweetest day. I was 14 and my boyfriend brought me a heart shaped box of chocolates. I was delighted that he wanted me to know his feelings. On the other hand, the candy was gone before you could blink an eye and I had no keepsake to commemorate our day.

Fast forward 20 years and I know a lot more about what has lasting value. So I say, tell your sweeties you love them in the most meaningful way possible — with the secret chamber in the HourPower® Watch. Engrave affectionate words to be remembered forever — add a cherished photo; and you will have created a winning gift for your honey.

Sweetest Day (Oct. 16) has always been the holiday to surround your beloved with something that is delicious. And what could be more special than the sweetness of your devotion — without any calories at all. Forget the cookies, the candy, the cake — they have such fleeting worth. Think deeply about a timepiece that imparts beautiful emotions every time it is worn — and is handsome and useful besides. HourPower® is the gift that nourishes the soul.
