Investing in Jewelry and other tangible assets is a wise way to diversify your holdings and build your overall estate and assets. When choosing which jewelry pieces to invest in you need to take time to consider the log term value of your purchase. One example of a company that creates timeless watches is Hublot, here is a bit more about their company.
Hublot is a widely known Swiss company, creating luxury watches and
successfully thriving since the 1980s. As well as the most watch
industry companies, their story began as an independent family company.
The products they developed exhibited an unique design,a great
reliability and a luxury taste which readily attracted the attention of
the local society.
Consequently, Hublot instantly entered the market of
the greatest watchmakers and expanded their supply relations worldwide.
Initially the company was supervised mainly by Carlo Crocco, who also
was a manufacturer. Looking from today's perspective it is admitted that
the key to success was the early concept of combining both a precious
material and a rubber together, what seemed to be revolutionary in the
ninth decade's economical environment.
Even today this kind of idea is
acknowledged to have contributed to the further development of
watchmaking industry. Today the company still exists as an independent
company under the French-based enterprise LVMH and it is known as the
incredibly creative, highly complicated brand, having a loyal client
interested either in sport watches or in gorgeous jewelry pieces,
revolutionary models in terms of technology and various fancy watches
only for the most important persons around the globe.
Perhaps the greatest ever created Hublot watch was called the Big Bang that led the
company to glory resulting in records associated with orders as well as
to the global recognition and the prizes like the award for the Best
Design in Geneva. This instant success had a major impact towards the
growth of the brand, therefore during years more consecutive
modifications were added to the prototype of the Big Bang evolving as
the new separate brand, which indicates the quality. The main reason why
Hublot watches retain their positions is possibly the investments in
the manufacturing. Hublot has opened a high technology research and
development center for new improvements to arise. It is worth mentioning
that for the brand's anniversary in 2010, a column-wheel chronograph
was introduced. There are high qualified employees for the physical
watchmaking, prototype designing, electrical engineering and even true
artists.
Combining this set of skills and knowledge the new MasterPiece
Collection has been recently developed. Finally, the company is
represented by a number world famous ambassadors including Dwayne Wade,
Usain Bolt or the Ferrari, which contributed to create a completely
unique and high-end masterpiece - Big Bang Chrono Tourbillon Ferrari.
Furthermore, starting from 2010 Hublot has become a partner with Formula
1.

With corruption cases becoming common nowadays, people get the impression that even some of the most trusted and respected institutions are corrupt. As such, the Church is not lost when it comes to accountability. In today’s changing society, the church cannot sit back and remain reactive, but must become proactive when managing its finances. Here are some of the rules of church financial management.
The first major step involves respecting the fact that church financial managers are spiritual leaders. In most cases, the church asks individuals to act in these trusted roles simply because of their leadership roles in the society. However, this shouldn’t be the case. The church’s spiritual leaders should be given the role of managing the church’s finances.
Besides that, it is also the responsibility of church financial managers to maintain the highest levels of integrity in their operations. There shouldn’t be a single hint that the church’s funds are not properly managed. The church should adopt a policy that any purchase above a certain amount is placed up for a competitive bidding process.
Another way of properly managing church finances involves providing detailed and updated financial reports to all church members. While certain aspects should be kept secret for a number of reasons, there are certain aspects that should be made available to all church members upon request. This is where church accounting comes into play.
Most importantly, checks and balances should be enforced at all the important levels. The treasure should be involved when receiving or depositing church funds. On the same breath, different individuals should audit such transactions from time to time to ensure there is no foul play.
In addition to the aforementioned, church members should also have the final say on all the financial matters. While the daily financial management may be delegated to different committees or staff members, these people should remain accountable to church members at large and at all times. The church should not delegate total responsibility on matters touching on finances just to a select few.
