In
a new partnership with Waterford Crystal,
Philips will mark the 100th anniversary of
the Times Square ball drop with a
collectible lighted crystal ornament
powered by batteries and illuminated with
light-emitting diodes. The ornament is a
miniaturized replica of Waterford's
cut-crystal "Let There Be Light" pattern
ball, which will drop on New York's Times
Square on New Year's Eve. Not only does
the ornament light up, but its light can
be synchronized to blinking string lights
on the Christmas tree or other holiday
lights.
The
same beautiful silver, embossed ribbon
suspends the ball and the hatbox houses
the Ball ornament and the battery
pack.
Waterford Crystal, creators of the
spectacular crystal ball that has descended on the
"crossroads of the world" since the millennium
celebration on New Year's Eve 1999, will celebrate the
100th Anniversary of the ball drop with the dazzling
Times Square Ball 100th Anniversary Collection of
Waterford Crystal.
Waterford designers will create a
signature cut crystal design for each edition. The
inaugural image, "Let There Be Light," is a
dramatically stylized, radiating sunburst. This
distinctive pattern will be replicated in fine
commemorative holiday ornaments and crystal
giftware. |
