TeNo - discover your desire

That’s true: “men’s jewelry is a bright spot in the downward trend, and is becoming more popular with guys than it has been in recent years.”

And that’s why TeNo has a great variety of jewelry for men, especially bracelets. Take your choice and discover your desire…

In our last survey in our german blog we asked:  Do you use Facebook? We closed the survey today.

A breakdown of the results:

•    No, never. (47%, 47 votes)
•    Facebook? I don’t know it. (32%, 32 votes)
•    Yes, regularly. (13%, 13 votes)
•    Only every now and then. (8%, 8 votes)

Overall 100 people took part and have clearly shown that Facebook isn’t as popular yet in Germany as it is in other countries. In the USA and South Africa and, as we have learned from our Spanish sales distributor, LaRa, in Spain, too, Facebook is enormously popular.

And that’s why we recently started up a TeNo page at Facebook, which Raphael Cohen and his team have set up for TeNo. The first fans have already found each other. ;-) TeNo South Africa has also set up a FacebookGroup and it already has 70 members. :-)

Today I’m going to take you round our workshop again. In this picture you can see Inge Besang, who’s been with TeNo from the very beginning. She’s responsible for the “hard stuff“ for us ;-), because she’s our ceramics specialist.

Ceramics is as much part of TeNo as stainless steel is. In many of our jewelry pieces we combine high-tech ceramic with stainless steel and for our jewelry we use the latest technology materials, like the solid and scratch-resistant dental ceramic shown here. (more …)

It’s not only jewelry which can be made out of stainless steel. These cards a really special. But I think, they are not so comfortable for games which are played with many cards. Stainless steel is’nt such lightweight, isn’t it?

But stylish they are.

There’s always one person at TeNo who knows exactly when the hour strikes, that is to say, he makes sure that the hour hands are actually going around – our watchmaker Peter Liedtke.

In the pictures you can see him at work. It demands the highest levels of concentration and an excellent eye. Inside the TeNo quartz watches there’s a Swiss precision movement. At the moment he’s just attaching the watch face to the movement. Afterwards the hands will be fixed to the needle shaft waiting for them in the movement. Only then is the small masterpiece set into its matching stainless steel watch case.

An important occupation at TeNo is the precious stone-setter, because without this we wouldn’t be able to offer any piece from the de Luxx-Series and no piece of jewelry at all with any sparkling diamonds. This position is filled internally at TeNo by Erich Kugele. I’m saying “internally” because we also work with some stone-setters who have their workbench at home and work from there.

The gemstone or precious stone-setter specialises in the setting, that is to say, on how the precious stone is set. If you’d like to know more about the work of a stone-setter, you can find an overview at Wikipedia and more information on apprenticeships, job opportunities and other possibilities here at the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Technology.

Today I’m giving you another peek into the inner workings of TeNo. In the photo you can see Jennifer Hunn our youngest apprentice. As is to be expected, throughout her apprenticeship as a plant assistant, Jenny can sometimes be found here, sometimes there. As she is, of course, the link between the offices and production.
In this photo you can see her in our shipping area – this is where numerous packages and parcels are packed, it’s practically the last room to see our jewelry before it leaves Pforzheim. :-) On the big roller that you can see in front of Jenni is “bubble wrap“ – everyone probably knows it, this air bubble film with the air bubbles that everybody loves popping. ;-) We use this bubble wrap to line and pad out parcels or to wrap around our packages so that your watches, jewelry and accessories arrive safely at our jewelry partners. A roll this size has 100 metres of bubble wrap and, on average, we use up about six to eight rolls a month.
