JAEGER-LECOULTRE announces its newest Ambassador Anya Taylor-Joy

JAEGER-LECOULTRE announces its newest Ambassador ANYA TAYLOR JOY

Jaeger-LeCoultre is delighted to name Anya Taylor-Joy as a new Ambassador for the Maison, marking her debut with a short video A Call of the Heart, based on a symbolic phone call welcoming her into La Grande Maison. During the call Anya wears the Reverso Duetto Small in pink gold, which features a silvery-white dial on the front and a black dial and diamond-set gadroons on the reverse side.

The video was inspired by an historic phone call that was to have a profound impact on the Manufacture LeCoultre. In 1903, Jacques-David LeCoultre made a call to the Parisian watchmaker Edmond Jaeger to accept the latter’s challenge of creating an ultra-thin watch movement – and so began a long and fruitful collaboration that led to the formation of the Jaeger-LeCoultre company.

“The encounter with Anya was meant to be. Her long family history with polo and interest in watchmaking led us to a natural partnership”, says Catherine Rénier, the CEO of Jaeger-LeCoultre. “With her ethereal beauty, her sensitivity, her talent and hardworking ethics, she embodies the values and style of our Maison.”

Recognised as one of the most exciting talents of her generation, Anya Taylor-Joy is the living embodiment of modern femininity. Her on-screen presence has a mercurial quality – otherworldly yet intensely present, fearless but vulnerable, innocent yet dangerous.

Born in Miami to British-Argentine parents, and raised in Buenos Aires and London, the 26-year-old actress won rave reviews for her breakout performance in Robert Egger’s The Witch in 2016. A series of critically-acclaimed roles followed and, in 2020, the Netflix hit The Queen’s Gambit shot her star into the stratosphere; her mesmerising portrayal of Beth Harmon won her a Golden Globe, a Screen Actors’ Guild award and a Critics’ Choice award.

This was followed by major roles in Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho and Robert Eggers’ The Northman, and she will next be seen in David O. Russell’s Amsterdam with Christian Bale and Margot Robbie, as well as Mark Mylod’s comedy-horror The Menu with Ralph Fiennes and Nicholas Hoult. Anya is currently filming Furiosa, the Mad Max prequel.

The Police warn of the summer scam in Spain and Marbella: scams in vacation rentals The summer scam has skyrocketed this year and already exceeds the figures for 2019. Faced with such a trend, the National Police, together with companies for the sale and rental of villas, luxury homes in Fotocasa, Airbnb, Confianza Online, have launched the alert for users to be more careful about possible scams in vacation rentals. Remember that only during this 2022, more than 6,000 Spaniards will fall into the trap of scammers like those who have starred in the program. So before you put up a down payment for what looks like a bargain, make sure the apartment exists. Faced with this situation, the General Directorate of the Police has launched this Thursday a series of recommendations to avoid being a victim of fraud. In this way, they warn that citizens not used to reserving an apartment or house online or those who do not know how platforms such as Airbnb work can be an easy target for organizations dedicated to this type of fraud. In order for users to book with peace of mind and find a trustworthy host this summer, the National Police, Airbnb and Confianza Online have worked together so that guests can be alert to detect and avoid fraud. Some of the signs and tips to avoid scams when booking summer vacations are: Beware of messages with suspicious links. Don't click on links in emails you don't trust. They may contain links to fake web pages that mimic Airbnb's design in an attempt to steal personal information or infect devices. In this situation, return to the home page typing https://www.airbnb.es in your browser and continue browsing from there. Find out here how to detect if an email or website really belongs to Airbnb. Be wary of offers that are too good to be true. Beware of offers that combine excessively low prices with very attractive images or accommodations. If an owner wants to make too many changes during the booking process (offers you to pay differently, sends you contact addresses that don't match the listing, offers you a different listing that wasn't on the page, etc.) there could be something behind a criminal who wants to avoid his location. To avoid this, look for ads that have a lot of positive reviews and read them carefully. This will allow you to detect if there are any negative aspects that several guests point out and that could tarnish your vacation. You can also check that the host's identity and other account details have been verified or confirmed. Communication and payment, always on the platform. If they ask you to make a deposit or a bank transfer, if they give you a PDF or paper invoice or offer you a discount for paying outside the platform, be wary. Pay special attention if that person proposes to use for payment companies that are normally dedicated to sending money, bank checks, money orders. If they suggest payment methods outside the platform, it is most likely that they intend to carry out some type of fraud. Therefore, you must always make payments and communicate through the Airbnb website or app. As long as you communicate, book and pay through Airbnb you will have the security guaranteed by the multiple protection system. If the host never asks you to speak through other means or sends you emails, that's a good sign. You can also help other travelers by reporting suspicious messages. You are suspicious of an urgent tone or inconsistencies on the part of the host. Scammers often try to rush or pressure guests to book, show inconsistencies in the language in which they express themselves and in their nationalities, areas of residence or telephone prefixes, as well as in the text of the accommodation advertisement. Do not feel pressured, before deciding on an accommodation, carefully read the profile of the host, the comments of previous guests and, for example, use the image comparator available in the main search engines on the Internet, and check if the images correspond to different rentals located in different geographical areas.

Algunas de las señales y consejos para evitar estafas a la hora de reservar vacaciones de verano son:

  1. Cuidado con los mensajes con enlaces sospechosos. No hagas clic en enlaces de correos electrónicos en los que no confíes. Pueden contener enlaces a páginas web falsas que imitan el diseño de Airbnb en un intento de robar información personal o infectar dispositivos. En esta situación, vuelve a la página de inicio
  2. escribiendo en su navegador y continúe navegando desde allí. Descubre aquí cómo detectar si un correo electrónico o sitio web realmente pertenece a Airbnb.
    Tenga cuidado con las ofertas que son demasiado buenas para ser verdad. Cuidado con las ofertas que combinan precios excesivamente bajos con imágenes o alojamientos muy atractivos. Si un propietario quiere hacer demasiados cambios durante el proceso de reserva (le ofrece pagar de manera diferente, le envía direcciones de contacto que no coinciden con la lista, le ofrece una lista diferente que no estaba en la página, etc.) podría ser algo detrás de un criminal que quiere evitar su ubicación. Para evitar esto, busque anuncios que tengan muchas críticas positivas y léalos con atención. Esto te permitirá detectar si hay algún aspecto negativo que varios huéspedes señalen y que pueda empañar tus vacaciones. También puede verificar que la identidad del anfitrión y otros detalles de la cuenta hayan sido verificados o confirmados.
  3. Comunicación y pago, siempre en la plataforma. Si te piden que hagas un depósito o una transferencia bancaria, si te dan una factura en PDF o en papel o te ofrecen un descuento por pagar fuera de la plataforma, desconfía. Presta especial atención si esa persona te propone utilizar para el pago empresas que normalmente se dedican al envío de dinero, cheques bancarios, giros postales. Si sugieren métodos de pago fuera de la plataforma, lo más probable es que pretendan realizar algún tipo de fraude. Por lo tanto, siempre debe realizar los pagos y comunicarse a través del sitio web o la aplicación de Airbnb. Siempre que te comuniques, reserves y pagues a través de Airbnb tendrás la seguridad que te garantiza el sistema de protección múltiple. Si el anfitrión nunca te pide que hables por otros medios o te envía correos electrónicos, es una buena señal.
  4. Sospechas de un tono de urgencia o de incoherencias por parte del anfitrión. Los estafadores suelen tratar de apurar o presionar a los huéspedes para que reserven, mostrar incoherencias en el idioma en el que se expresan y en sus nacionalidades, zonas de residencia o prefijos telefónicos, así como en el texto del anuncio del alojamiento. No te sientas presionado, antes de decidirte por un alojamiento, lee atentamente el perfil del anfitrión, los comentarios de anteriores huéspedes y, por ejemplo, utiliza el comparador de imágenes disponible en los principales buscadores de Internet, y comprueba si las imágenes corresponden a diferentes alquileres ubicados en diferentes áreas geográficas.

The Police warn of the summer scam in Spain and Marbella: scams in vacation rentals The summer scam has skyrocketed this year and already exceeds the figures for 2019. Faced with such a trend, the National Police, together with companies for the sale and rental of villas, luxury homes in Fotocasa, Airbnb, Confianza Online, have launched the alert for users to be more careful about possible scams in vacation rentals. Remember that only during this 2022, more than 6,000 Spaniards will fall into the trap of scammers like those who have starred in the program. So before you put up a down payment for what looks like a bargain, make sure the apartment exists. Faced with this situation, the General Directorate of the Police has launched this Thursday a series of recommendations to avoid being a victim of fraud. In this way, they warn that citizens not used to reserving an apartment or house online or those who do not know how platforms such as Airbnb work can be an easy target for organizations dedicated to this type of fraud. In order for users to book with peace of mind and find a trustworthy host this summer, the National Police, Airbnb and Confianza Online have worked together so that guests can be alert to detect and avoid fraud. Some of the signs and tips to avoid scams when booking summer vacations are: Beware of messages with suspicious links. Don't click on links in emails you don't trust. They may contain links to fake web pages that mimic Airbnb's design in an attempt to steal personal information or infect devices. In this situation, return to the home page typing https://www.airbnb.es in your browser and continue browsing from there. Find out here how to detect if an email or website really belongs to Airbnb. Be wary of offers that are too good to be true. Beware of offers that combine excessively low prices with very attractive images or accommodations. If an owner wants to make too many changes during the booking process (offers you to pay differently, sends you contact addresses that don't match the listing, offers you a different listing that wasn't on the page, etc.) there could be something behind a criminal who wants to avoid his location. To avoid this, look for ads that have a lot of positive reviews and read them carefully. This will allow you to detect if there are any negative aspects that several guests point out and that could tarnish your vacation. You can also check that the host's identity and other account details have been verified or confirmed. Communication and payment, always on the platform. If they ask you to make a deposit or a bank transfer, if they give you a PDF or paper invoice or offer you a discount for paying outside the platform, be wary. Pay special attention if that person proposes to use for payment companies that are normally dedicated to sending money, bank checks, money orders. If they suggest payment methods outside the platform, it is most likely that they intend to carry out some type of fraud. Therefore, you must always make payments and communicate through the Airbnb website or app. As long as you communicate, book and pay through Airbnb you will have the security guaranteed by the multiple protection system. If the host never asks you to speak through other means or sends you emails, that's a good sign. You can also help other travelers by reporting suspicious messages. You are suspicious of an urgent tone or inconsistencies on the part of the host. Scammers often try to rush or pressure guests to book, show inconsistencies in the language in which they express themselves and in their nationalities, areas of residence or telephone prefixes, as well as in the text of the accommodation advertisement. Do not feel pressured, before deciding on an accommodation, carefully read the profile of the host, the comments of previous guests and, for example, use the image comparator available in the main search engines on the Internet, and check if the images correspond to different rentals located in different geographical areas.
