TeNo - discover your desire

As in every year on the first december, we have the World Aids Day. Stopping the spread, educate especially the younger people and helping people who have the HIV and often face discrimination are just a few aims of this years world wide event.

TeNo also gets involved by sponsoring various organsiations and events. As in this year we’re supporting the cover me tombola in Cologne, Germany, a charity concert with many stars by donating watches and jewelry with a total value of 2500€. The concert took place on the 29 of november and all guests didn’t take any money for it. The money gathered will go to the Lebenshaus der Aidshilfe Köln, who help handicaped people to live a normal and independent life to avoid medical dependence.

The designer Maksim Biriukov has come up with a new idea for an electronic calendar. This all round calendar can show you the month, week, day and even the past hours of the present day. You can also see the holidays of the year 2009. However, as usual, there is a hook: it costs $94,950. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather invest my money into something else. ;-)

Very informative: sometimes it needs a picture to understand very complexe themes. ;-)

As a new member of the TeNo Family I learn a lot about the company at the moment. So I thought, it would be interesting for  you all to learn a bit about TeNo’s tradition too.

TeNo´s family roots can be traced back to 1922. At those days Joseph Heinz, a young silversmith in the black forest founded his own little workshop first specialized in silver cutlery and some years later he added to his portfolio fine silver jewellery. His son Peter Heinz became in the 60´s a master goldsmith and worked at those days in the development department for a leading jewellery company in Pforzheim which is the most famous town for jewellery in Germany. Together with his wife Annelie Heinz, who also worked as an goldsmith specialised on handcrafted and solid jewellery chains made out of gold, he took over in 1982 a company focusing its production on jewellery watch cases for precious metals and also small technical parts used to supply the German watch manufacturers.
