New York, NY… It was an invite no one in media wanted to miss. The marriage of Robert Kool Bell and the iconic brand watch Accutron, along with Le Kool Champagne. The press event took place at the Moxy Hotel Fleur Room, located at 105 West 28th Street in NYC.

Robert Kool Bell is the Grammy winning founder of the famed band Kool & The Gang. You may remember the band’s award-winning songs, “Ladies Night” and “Celebration”,” to name two of his most popular. After years of dropping hit songs Bell seek higher pastures and forged first into the champagne business by seeking out Paul Berthelot, owner of the Grand Cru Vineyards, from owners that have been producing champagne for generations. The result was a creation in partnership with Berthelot who have been producing since 1884. The venture produced the new product, Le Kool Celebration Champagne.

To accentuate the new marriage in spirations and collaboration-venture in the watch making business; Bell teamed up with Accutron to celebrate a new line of watches, specifically catering to the needs of women. Accutron watches have been around since the 1960s and was manufactured by Bulova. The company which began in New York, is a New York City staple and is now a part of the Japanese citizen’s group stemming from 1875.

According to Bell, “I feel my history and Accutron’s have many parallels in terms of innovation and passion. For me finding a new sound or for Accutron a new way to tell time, has always been of the forefront of our thinking,” said Bell. “It’s great to partner this amazing brand with my Champagne Le kool, which has been a passion of mine ever since touring Europe with Kool & The Gang. The new Le kool Legacy watches, inspired by our many champagnes are a moment of pride for me as I have always celebrated women through my music and in life.”
