Okay, in some ways it is, but let me give you a little background -
As many of you know, last Monday I was in Los Angeles for a Press Dinner for Frederique Constant. Yes, the main idea was to talk about watches, etc. - BUT - the one topic that kept coming up was Frederique Constant's involvement with World Heart Day. When the person in charge of communications starts talking about something - you usually expect talk of product, endorsements, etc.
But remember - we are talking about the folks who encourage us to "Live Our Passion" -and that is just what they do!
Yasmina Pedrini is more than just a communications/pr person.
She in many ways embodies the very best of what Frederique Constant/Alpina are about.
If the folks involved with World Heart Day ever have any doubt as to how important
their cause is to Frederique Constant - DON'T! I learned more about this organization
and their work in a brief conversation than I would have watching 3 hours of Public
Announcements on television.
So no, this is not a Press Release - this is a recognition to Frederique Constant for all
of the amazing work they are doing - and not just watches!
Here is the press release from Frederique Constant -

As a brand that has shown generous support towards heart-health organizations since 2008 with the launch of its best-selling Ladies Automatic Double Heart Collection, Frédérique Constant’s Ralph Simons shares, “The World Heart Federation is the apex of organizations leading the global fight against heart disease and stroke. It is an honor for Frédérique Constant to align and contribute to the research of such internationally recognized doctors and survey teams.”
In its first partnership with The World Heart Federation, Frédérique Constant supported a new multi-national survey conducted in Brazil, India, UK, and the USA through an unrestricted educational grant that revealed a general gap in heart-health knowledge. Together, with exclusively designed and limited edition ladies automatic Double Heart watch model launching early next year, Frédérique Constant will continue to heighten and prolong awareness through 2013, further highlighting the focus of this year’s World Heart Day – the prevention of Cardiovascular Disease among women and children.
A closing Charity gala dinner in Downtown’s historic Biltmore Millenium Hotel will follow the daytime ceremony where Chinese movie star Ms Shu Qi will join over one hundred community dignitaries for a private celebration. Together with Frédérique Constant, The World Heart Federation, and Chong Hing Jewelers, the actress will deliver a final toast in honor of World Heart Day.
