Texte PK Seve Ballesteros Final EN Final Jaermann & Stübi Create a Limited-Edition Luxury Golf Watch from Seve Ballesteros’ Golf Clubs The golf legend Severiano Ballesteros and Jaermann & Stübi have come up with something truly unique based on the company's superbly crafted golf watch: a watch case forged from the golf clubs used by Seve Ballesteros to win the Chunichi Crowns Open in 1991. With the series limited to 50 pieces, each watch case can be traced back to an iron that Seve played with, which makes this exclusive watch even more special. The Chunichi Crowns Open forms part of the Japan Golf Tour and was won by Seve Ballesteros in 1991 in 275 strokes (five under par). The 1 to 9 irons he used on that occasion together with the Pitching Wedge and the Sand Wedge have been transformed into 50 watch cases for the "Seve Ballesteros" limited series. The method used to achieve this was developed in an intricate, multi-stage process in collaboration with the RWTH Aachen University and Dr. Bergfeld Schmiedetechnik in Solingen(Germany) – well know area for cutlery and precision instruments. The first step was to analyse the heads of the clubs in order to obtain an alloy that would meet the requirements of a watch case while enabling a cavity-free casting. After extensive tests, the team succeeded in portioning and melting down the various clubs so that each golf club yielded a casting. These castings were then forged into watch cases at a temperature of around 1200 °C. This method makes it possible to trace back each watch to one of the irons that Severiano Ballesteros used to win the Chunichi Crowns in 1991. This means that each owner of a "Seve Ballesteros" can take a specific iron with them on their round of golf. Like all the models produced by Jaermann & Stübi, the "Seve Ballesteros" features both an automatic movement and a patented, mechanical golf counter complication. This allows a player to count the strokes per hole, add up the score and compare this to their handicap after completing the round of golf. The watch face, the bezel and the entire packaging have been rendered in dark blue, Seve Ballesteros' favourite colour. Each watch has been individually numbered and the golf club used for each case has been engraved on the back. In addition, a certificate signed by Seve Ballesteros confirms that the clubs used in each case were genuine. The "Seve Ballesteros" model will be available from the beginning of November in selected specialist watch and jewellery outlets at a price of 21,500 Swiss francs.

He won five major tournaments and more than 80 internationally and was the primary force in the comeback of the European Ryder Cup team. He is also the golfer for whom there are no impossible shots, not with trees, bushes, neither from the rough or a parking lot. Before his terrific victory at the British Open in 1988, “Golf World” published an article about Seve Ballesteros and how he had played the last six holes in Royal Lytham St. Anne in 1979 at his first Open victory. There was the conventional route and "the Seve Way", a definition of his specific personal style. The way he played the 16th hole was unforgettable, using a driver instead of a conventional iron on the shortest possible path. The ball landed in a parking lot from where Seve placed it on the green with such skill that he shot a birdie. Emotions and a brilliant, short game were his best allies on the golf course. His magical shots were the result of years of practice. He started as a boy on the beaches of Pedreña, where he hit stones with a home-made 3 iron. In his best days there was no one better at achieving low stroke counts in play. This is how he won the Harry Vardon Trophy six times for the lowest average score on the European PGA Tour. Perhaps the greatest legacy of Seve Ballesteros is that he elevated European golf to the world stage, leaving his mark on the European Ryder Cup team, encouraging the players and making the team competitive. Together with Seve, the Europeans won the Cup for the first time on American soil in 1987. Seve’s intrepidness and fighting spirit made him one of the greatest match play golfers of all time.

Today, they can look back on a first business year that was both hard-working and eminently successful. The two entrepreneurs were pleasantly surprised by the number of watch connoisseurs and golfers who expressed interest in their elegant watch, and Jaermann & Stübi are now looking forward to presenting a further innovation in 2008. The year 2007 was an intense one for the two up-and-coming entrepreneurs. It gave Urs Jaermann and Pascal Stübi the reassurance of knowing that they had hit upon the right idea. Since they entered the market in April 2007, Jaermann & Stübi have succeeded in building up an excellent network of distributors, which has now expanded outside Switzerland. In 2007, the watch was already being marketed by individual dealers in France, Germany and the USA, and as of the start of 2008, the US, Japanese and Eastern European markets are in the hands of fixed distributors. Specialist retailers and distributors are highly impressed with the product. Even before the start of the 2008 golf season, almost twice the number of watches had been sold that were originally planned when it was launched. The two partners are now confidently looking forward to their next business year. The watch with the patented golf counter complication and the modern A10 automatic movement goes down well with golfers and watch connoisseurs alike. It provides functions that are unique and exclusive in the marketplace, counting a player’s strokes per hole, adding up the overall score per round and comparing it with the player's handicap. The golf counter is a very useful element, and the complication is so ambitious and innovative that it is equally impressive to watch connoisseurs. With its range of styles, the entire collection is both elegant and sporty and also fits a woman's more slender wrist.

  • Movember Set to Improve Men's Health This November
    MOVEMBER SET TO IMPROVE MEN’S HEALTH THIS NOVEMBER AT THE MELBOURNE WORLD CUP OF GOLF 21 June, 2018: To help raise much needed funds, and awareness of men’s health issues, the Movember Foundation will come in swinging following their appointment as the official charity of the Melbourne World Cup of Golf, to be held at The Metropolitan Golf Club from the 21-25 November 2018. And with players from 28 nations descending on Melbourne for the event, the opportunity exists for players and fans to sport a traditional national mo to support the cause and get involved. The Movember Foundation has one goal: to stop men dying too young. As the only global charity tackling men’s health issues year-round, the Foundation funds programs tackling prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. In 2018, more than 1.4 million men globally will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Three out of every four suicides are men and, in Australia, testicular cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men between the ages of 20 and 34. With those statistics, Melbourne World Cup of Golf Executive Director Robyn Cooper says the Movember Foundation is the perfect fit for the tournament. “We are proud to be able to support a global charity that was born in Melbourne,” Cooper said. “Approximately 75% of the world’s golfers are male and from Craig "The Walrus" Stadler to John Daly and our own Geoff Ogilvy to legendary caddie Mike "Fluff" Cowen, the moustache has long been the trademark of the stylish pro golfer.” The PGA TOUR has been a strong supporter of the moustache, with the Web.com Tour conducting the annual Moustache Madness contest at the Utah Championships every July.

  • Sporting Legends: Seve Ballesteros
    SPORTING LEGENDS: SEVE BALLESTEROS SPORT: GOLF COMPETITIVE ERA: 1974 - 2008 Severiano "Seve" Ballesteros (born 9 April 1957 in Pedreña, Spain) is a Spanish golfer who was one of the sport's leading figures in the 1980s and 1990s. Ballesteros turned professional in March 1974 at the age of 16. In 1976, he burst onto the international scene with a second-place finish in The Open Championship; he went on to win the European Tour Order of Merit (money title) that year, and repeated his Order of Merit win the following two years. He would go on to win the Order of Merit six times, a record at that time (since surpassed by Colin Montgomerie). Ballesteros went on to win five major championships: The Masters: 1980, 1983 His 1980 win was the first at Augusta by a European player. The Open Championship: 1979, 1984, 1988. He was also a great at match play; he won the World Match Play Championship five times, and was a mainstay of the European Ryder Cup team for much of the 1980s and 1990s. He scored 20 points out of 37 matches against the United States; his partnership with José María Olazábal was one of the most successful in the history of the competition, with 11 wins and two halved matches out of 15 pairs matches. While Ballesteros was a member of European sides that won the Ryder Cup in 1985, retained the Cup in 1987 and 1989, and regained the Cup in 1995, the pinnacle of his career in the competition came in 1997, when he captained the winning European side at Valderrama Golf Club in Sotogrande, Spain.
