			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(Updates prices, comment after central bank move)</p>
<p>* Top central banks move to avoid global liquidity crunch</p>
<p>* <a title="Full coverage of China" href="http://www.reuters.com/places/china">China</a> in surprise move to inject cash</p>
<p>* Dollar falls sharply, equities, euro rise</p>
<p>By Susan Thomas</p>
<p>LONDON, Nov 30 (Reuters) &#8211; Gold rose to the highest in almost two weeks on Wednesday after top central banks announced a co-ordinated move to avoid a global liquidity crunch, and the dollar fell.</p>
<p>Centrals banks from the world&#8217;s leading economies, including the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank, said they had agreed to lower the cost of existing dollar swap lines by 50 basis points, as well other measures.</p>
<p>Spot gold rose more than 2 percent to $1,749.54, its highest since Nov. 17. It was $1,744.79 per ounce at 1525 GMT, from $1,714.29 late in New York on Tuesday.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">So excited about the news from Bremont! In about three weeks time they will have available the <strong>Limited Edition P51 Timepieces</strong>. The packaging will be this noble green leather with merlot straps <a href="http://www.longislandjeweler.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/get-attachment-1.aspx_.jpeg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1180" title="get-attachment-1.aspx" src="http://www.longislandjeweler.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/get-attachment-1.aspx_-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>to recreate the colors that were inside the P-51 cockpit! And because this is an American plane they replaced their usual RAF crown design to the American star!!<a href="http://www.longislandjeweler.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/get-attachment-4.aspx_.jpeg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1177" title="get-attachment-4.aspx" src="http://www.longislandjeweler.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/get-attachment-4.aspx_-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Limited Edition ‘Bremont P-51’, a chronograph chronometer built with original parts from the famous 1944 Mustang WWII aircraft P-51K-10 (serial number 44-12016), a Pacific war veteran also known as ‘Fragile but Agile’. The Original aluminum metal from the aircraft fuselage is integrated into both the dial and the movement of the timepiece; with the dial itself inspired by the clocks found in the P-51 aircraft. The 43mm hardened steel Trip-Tick® case, using Bremont’s B-EBE2000 technology, integrates the new rotating ‘Roto-Click®’ inner bezel that houses four ball bearings inside the case. As with many of Bremont’s latest watch designs, the P-51 is assembled the company’s atelier in England rather than their workshop in Biel-Bienne in Switzerland, and houses a modified Swiss BE-54A automatic chronometer movement that also shows UTC time. The watch will be limited to only 251 pieces and will retail at $11,558.57.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #333399;">A Brief History Of The P-51K-10 Mustang</span></strong><a href="http://www.longislandjeweler.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Unknown.jpeg"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-1181" title="Unknown" src="http://www.longislandjeweler.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Unknown-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>The P-51K-10 aircrafts were (serial number 44-12016) rolled off the North American Aviation assembly line in Dallas, Texas, on, December 18th 1944 and was then loaded on to a ship on January 15th 1945 for an assignment in the Far East. It was to take part in the American campaign to retake the Islands from the Japanese. On arrival in the Pacific Theatre of Operations, the Philippine aircraft was assigned to the 342nd Fighter Squadron of the 348th Fighter Group, which was stationed at the San Marcelino airbase, just north of Manila Bay.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Lt. Bert Lee Jr. was assigned to fly the aircraft and was credited with two confirmed victories during the war, which accounts for the two Japanese flags painted below his name on the plane. One was a Japanese A6M “Zero” fighter near Manila and the other a twin-engine &#8220;Betty&#8221; bomber. A lot of Lt. Lee’s missions in the P-51 were ground support in what was then Indochina.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Lee and his Mustang both survived the war. Following its time in the US Air Force, ‘Fragile but Agile’ then spent timeserving with both the Swedish and Israeli military before eventually being restored by pilot and collector Stephen Grey and The Fighter Collection based at Duxford in the UK. In 2009 another collector and good friend of Stephen’s, ‘Dan Friedkin’, based in Houston, Texas, acquired the Mustang.<a href="http://www.longislandjeweler.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/get-attachment-2.aspx_.jpeg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1179" title="get-attachment-2.aspx" src="http://www.longislandjeweler.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/get-attachment-2.aspx_-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><a href="http://www.longislandjeweler.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/get-attachment-3.aspx_.jpeg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1178" title="get-attachment-3.aspx" src="http://www.longislandjeweler.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/get-attachment-3.aspx_-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Bremont P-51 should be ready to be delivered within the next 3 weeks and out of 251 that are being made, we have less than 40 still available! Please pre-order to guarantee your collection upgrade.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Buying gold is still the safest investment you can make!!! Investors are predicting $5000.00 is too low!!   Looking at the global economies Gold is appearing safer and safer. A study released earlier in the year by Oxford Economics recommends holding at least 5% of your assets in gold.</p>
<p>Recent Facts:</p>
<ul>
<li>A new      Wikileaks release reveals the thought process behind gold and fiat      currencies such as the U.S. Dollar and Euro.</li>
<li>David      Rosenberg, senior economist and strategist at Gluskin Sheff in Toronto,      wrote &#8220;With Japan massively intervening in the (currency) market and      the Swiss effectively curbing the safe-haven status of the Swiss franc      today, we only really have gold as the last-standing safe-haven currency      around&#8221;.</li>
<li><strong>Governments      are buying gold:</strong>
<ul>
<li>Venezuelan       gold mining companies had until recently been forced to sell 50% their       gold production to the government for their reserves. This was increased       last month to 100%.</li>
<li>Kazakhstan,       a relatively small producer, announced that its own local gold production       would now be bought by the government for its gold reserve</li>
<li>The       rising price of gold and silver has caught the attention of economic       powerhouse, China (NYSE:FXI)</li>
<li>China’s       increased gold reserves will thus act as a model and lead other countries       towards reserving more gold</li>
<li>We       have long believed that China, to a greater or lesser extent, has been       doing this for some years now. Its local production is rising by the year       and it’s the world’s largest gold producer now at well over 300 tones.</li>
<li>Russia       has been buying local and foreign production as well for years now.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the new Ulysse Nardin Classico Enamel Champlevé Dragon, the manufacture honors, once again, the lost art of enameling, but this time, it’s through the legend of the Dragon, a symbol of success and prosperity. Legend claims that those who keep the mythical creature close will be granted guidance and protection.<a href="http://www.longislandjeweler.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/get-attachment.aspx_.jpeg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1150" title="get-attachment.aspx" src="http://www.longislandjeweler.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/get-attachment.aspx_-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>Exuding a fiery spirit, the bright orange and yellow dragon seems ready to leap from the enamel champlevé dial. Set atop a background of the special blue dial of the Classico that represents Ulysse Nardin&#8217;s distinctive signature (often referred to as Ulysse Nardin Blue), the strong Dragon twists and writhes about the hour markers; an explosion of fire escaping his mouth setting the evening hours ablaze.</p>
<p>The beauty of the dragon dial is the result of Ulysse Nardin&#8217;s devotion to the lost art of enameling and a refined decorative technique that requires the dedication of a master craftsman. Due to its complex and time-consuming forging process, enamel watches fell into near oblivion since the 1950s, and only such top watch makers as Ulysse Nardin are now able to produce the works.</p>
<p>Each dial is an exceptional creation produced by a skilled artisan using a variety of colors that are created from different metallic oxides. The mastery of enameling depends upon both the personal sensitivity and daily practice of the artist. The technique results in dials that are wearable art designed to honor a centuries-old craft.</p>
<p>Ulysse Nardin is producing 30 pieces of the Classico Dragon 40mm in 18-karat white gold and in 18-karat rose gold. A sapphire crystal exhibition window is featured in the case back, through which the self-winding UN-815 movement can be viewed. The timepiece has a power reserve of approximately 42 hours, and the chronometer is COSC certified.</p>
<p>Each watch is accented by a hand-sewn alligator leather strap with a white- or red -gold tang buckle, empowering its wearer with an image that is both bold and sophisticated.</p>
