The Rolex Learning Centre; The Newest Rolex Landmark

Rolex Learning Centre

A brand new storey has been mounted in the great legacy of Rolex with the Rolex Learning Centre for the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland. The single storey building is an epitome of perfect and modern marvel in every possible sense. Spread over an area of 88,000 cubic metres, the marvel is made from concrete shell and has been created keeping the very core principles that Rolex stands by- class and perfection. The design of the building looks distinct with huge 14 voids capped by steel.

This Rolex marvel has been built by Sanaa, a Tokyo based architectural company of world acclaim, famous for designing the New York’s New Museum. The team of architects has gone a step further this time around with their ultra unique and supremely creative design which appears to be barely on the ground. The Rolex Learning Centre is primarily a Mecca for the learners of watch making. The centre would comply with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland and is situated at just a short distance from the Lake Geneva.

This immaculately designed building speaks volumes of the spirit and the commitment that Rolex stands for. Although the building is called the Rolex Learning Centre, the design of the building sings another tune. The overall architecture and design of the building reflects a spirit of breaking away from the clichéd perception and unlearn all the rules; so as to make way for the new dawn. The distinct building has wave like design all across the floor and does not possess any steps or ceiling. The roof of the storey has large holes resembling the famous Swiss cheese for natural light and fresh air. The building is a beauty to behold and is blessed with the modern marvels.

Rolex

Primarily, the Rolex Learning Centre building was envisioned by the architects to be a multi storey one which would have included a library, café, laboratory including other major branches, one on top of the other. However, the idea to come out with a more spacious place drove the architects and designers to come out with a more open, innovative and distinctly different single storey marvel. The building maintains the serenity and aesthetic count of the location where it is built.

The Rolex Learning Centre has more to it than just the aesthetic count. The centre would serve as an information shelter where students would learn the nitty-gritty about watch making of the world class stature. The university has about 4,000 researchers and 7,000 students. Instead of the stairs and walls, the single storey building has elegant slopes and terraces which very well divide one area of studying from the other. The exterior of the building has a dazzling sheen of polish, adorned with delicate detailing. The transitions between the rise and fall of the internal framework are hard to notice. While the beautiful landscape was being built, the makers faced a lot of obstacles and called for unusual levels of dedication and commitment. Together the pioneers of their own domains, Rolex and world class architectures Sanaa have given the world a unique and supremely classy modern marvel.

British Sailors Capture Six Medals At 2010 Rolex Miami OCR

Rolex 2010 Miami OCR

The 2010 Rolex Miami OCR witnessed the Skandia Team GBR making Britain proud by bagging away as many as six medals in the ISAF Sailing World Cup event which concluded on Saturday. It was a very befitting reply to the efforts that each sailor from the crew had been contributing with and the expectations that the fans have had from them.

While Nick Thompson and John Robertson’s sonar crew grabbed hold of gold and a silver medal, Ed Wright and Giles Scott took the score to an impressive 1-2 for Britain in the heavyweight Finn class. Ed Wright who was the defending Champion and the winner of the 2009 World Cup series had a straightforward achievement with his teammate Scott lending a helping hand to fend off his American competitors. Ed Wright was pleased that he managed through the tricky conditions, while Giles Scott confessed not making it to gold. However, after delivering a good performance and dominating the newest Olympic Sailing discipline for a week, Annie Lush, Lucy Macgregor and Ally Martin could not hit the top prize and had to settle with a silver medal.

Skandia Team GBR’s army of Finn sailors has been proving its mettle in the race and appears very tough to beat. Coach Matt Howard looked mighty pleased with the team’s progress and appreciated Scott’s Lucy Macgregorperformance in the double-points medal race. Nick Thompson’s hard work in the Laser class paid off as he had gained enough points to hit gold. But for the not so lucky, Annie Lush, Lucy Macgregor and Ally Martin, in the nail biting final race, the Elliot 6m women’s match resulted in losing the gold to USA. With not even one match dropped in the entire regatta, the Skandia Team GBR was in high spirits and confidently headed towards the final showdown. Winning two matches, they were just stone’s throw away from winning another gold. But the third race brought with it the turning point, when the umpire’s decision at the windward mark went against them, making way for Tunnicliffe’s victory resulting in a tie.

Speaking about their loss, Lucy Macgregor was seen disappointed and explained how she had began with a strong start, soon gained four boat lengths on her opponent, but was slapped with an unexpected loss of speed due to rope debris that had tangled around their boat. Following which, the Skandia Team GBR lost the decider by merely half a boat length and had to settle for the silver. The sixth and the final medal came in the form of a bronze which was bagged by the Laser Radial Sailor Alison Young, whose instant claim raised the bar for her performance. This first-timer in the major senior international event 2010 Rolex Miami OCR felt elated at her achievement and hoped to earn a place in the top 10.

The RYA Olympic Manager, Stephen Park admired the achievements of British sailors who had put in a lot of hard work but felt disappointed at the loss of Lucy Macgregor’s team. He went on to praise Nick Thompson and Ed Wright who had dominated the Finn racing and looked impressed with Alison Young’s performance.

The Rolex FEI World Cup Eighth Leg Concludes; Women Dominate, Jessica Kuerten Wins

Rolex FEI World Cup Jumping

The eighth leg of the 2009/2010 Rolex FEI World Cup Jumping event in Leipzig, Germany witnessed female domination. The entire line up had ladies dominating the course and out clocking the men. The Leipzig leg of the Rolex FEI World Cup Jumping competition has always been lucky for Jessica Kuerten as she won the same in 2008 and 2009. With this victory in her kitty, Jessica Kuerten made it to a hat-trick in Leipzig. The Irish lady got a spurt of speed on the course and clocked in at 40.52 atop Castle Forbes Libertina. Even the Rolex FEI World Cup Jumping Standings have witnessed quite a shuffle after the eighth leg of the competition. The Leipzig grounds had 9,000 sets of eyes on the course and the riders, as the spectators enjoyed the competition held on the 24th of January.

The first three positions were all grabbed by female riders as Australia’s Edwina Alexander took the second position and France’s Penelope Leprevost took the third position. While the first round track made for a clear round for most riders, the jump-off was not as rider friendly and included some very tough decisions. The second round course was full of super-tight turns and only the exceptional speed of Castle Forbes Libertina along with her rider Jessica Kuerten could win the day. The German crowd too was very supportive of the Irish rider as she has made Germany her home for many years. However, before Jessica Kuerten went for the challenge of the jump-off with her 14 year old mare, she thought long and hard.

Jessica Kuerten

Jessica Kuerten contemplated that she was atop one of the fastest show jumping horses in the world and thus had to think harder how to approach the jump offs. Also Castle Forbes Libertina was returning to action after a seven-month layoff due to an injury and thus was even more enthusiastic than her regular self. That’s when the Irish lady decided to take a line less ventured by the other riders as she did not quite appreciate the turn after the double. Jessica Kuerten stated that she took the route taken by Simon Delestre and it worked for her. Her new line gave her the leeway that her mare would work better with. While appreciating her mare, Jessica Kuerten stated that Castle Forbes Libertina was smooth, fast and absolutely brilliant and added she was very happy with her.

Jessica Kuerten clocked in with no faults, while Edwina Alexander clocked in at 40.71 to claim the second position. Penelope Leprevost clocked in on the third position with a time of 41.13. Marcus Ehning had to settle for the fourth position while he was atop Plot Blue. While the Rolex FEI World Cup Jumping standings were still lead by Holland’s Eric Van der Vleuten, the Leipzig win helped nudge Jessica Kuerten up the rankings. The Irish lady now is on the second rank and has already qualified for the series which is to take place in April in Geneva. On third place is Pius Schwizer and fourth place is occupied by Penelope Leprevost.
