Ancala’s online magazine and publication was founded and generated by IN Creative and Marketing. IN came up with the idea with intensions of doing a small mailer for the local businesses that wanted to direct mail to the existing potential customers in the community.

In Creative and Marketing’s team realized very quickly that there were not only local businesses that would like to be in the publication but also larger customers that would like to target that same demographic of higher income brackets and elite names, celebrities, doctors and business owners.

Ancala’s online magazine and publication’s mission is to provide wealth and awareness back to the community and provide contributions to charities, schools and kids. Events & networking functions have already been performed. Fund raisers and community outreach programs are already being planned for the upcoming months at area business’s.

A match made in beer heaven: Come back with us for a moment to 1987. Dan Gordon is one of the most sought-after brewers in the country while Dean Biersch, an experienced restaurateur and beer lover, is searching for a partner to help open a brewery restaurant. A mutual friend arranges a meeting, so they sit down, start talking beer, and the rest is history. The Modified American Dream: From the get-go, Dan

and Dean had a clear vision of what they wanted: a monument to beer, where people could come drink freshly-brewed beer and have a great meal simultaneously. Only authentic, German-style beers would be served, and in the tradition of the ones Dan brewed while attending The Technical University of Mu-nich, or the most renowned brewing school in the world.

Beer would be brewed according to Reinheitsgebot (the age-old German Purity Law of beer)

with only the finest ingredients: Hallertauer hops, two-row malted barley, and a special yeast strain im-ported directly from Germany.

The Story of Dan and Dean

While brewing is one of the oldest crafts and has a long history of tradition, our brewery, in par with everything else in Silicon Valley, is fully automated and is run by WinBrew, a special software program

developed by Nerb Engineering in Freising, Germany. While we still use the highest quality two-row malted barley, Hallertauer hops, and German yeast from Weihen stephan as we do in all our brew-ery restaurants, the technology allows us to better

control the brewing environment and monitor the brewing process to ensure the consistent high quality of our lagers. Dan Gordon’s lifelong dream was realized in March 1997 when the first batch of beer was brewed at our

state-of-the-art brewery and bottling facility in San Jose. The 114,000 squareOur Breweryfoot facility with a 25,000 square foot warehouse has the capacity to produce 110,000 barrels of our authen-tic German style beers.

The History

Page 13: Ancala & McDowell Mountain's Magazine

Garlic FiesThe StoryGarlic fries were created when Dan Gordon was studying brewing at the Technical University of Munich.

He would frequently be asked by Professors to translate for them when they had visiting English speaking professors. He was asked once by the garlic professor to translate when his American counterpart visited. They were out in the fields chomping on garlic and at the end of the day, they had a meal with 10 different dishes featuring garlic. Dan was inspired by the experience and created the garlic and fry combination as a late night snack during his final exams in graduate school.

Once it sells, you get that actual amount, not a percentage of it. Plus there is no mandatory time frame to leave it at the store. If you decide after a week—or even a day—that you don’t want to consign it, you’re free to come pick it up. There is no charge for the consignment program, giving you extra incentive to give it a try.

WATCH REPAIR

It’s time to get that broken watch in your drawer up and running again. The Estate Watch & Jewelry Co. has a certified on-site watchmaker who has been servicing and repairing watches for over 30 years. The watches are serviced using nothing but factory parts, and they give a full one-year warranty on all work.

The store provides estimates to its clients before any work is done to the watch so that clients know exactly what the issues are and how much the cost will be. Now there’s no excuse to keep your watch hidden away. Even if it just needs a battery, the Edwards are happy to supply it for you—usually for only ten dollars!

JEWELRY REPAIR

The same holds true for all the jewelry that has been prematurely retired to your jewelry box because it is broken. If you love it, you need to wear it! Bring it in, and the skilled jewelers at the company can bring any broken piece of jewelry back to life. Most repairs only take a few days, and the prices are unbeatable.

CUSTOM DESIGN

Some clients come in with a specific idea in mind, whether it is repurposing a family heirloom or creating the perfect engagement ring. If there’s nothing in inventory that perfectly fits your ideal, there are jewelry designers on staff to help bring your vision to life. Clients are never disappointed by their custom work because the jewelers won’t rest until it is just perfect.

To create a custom piece, designers invite clients to share the design idea, whether it’s a picture or drawing or even just a detailed description. The designers will then sketch the design to make sure that’s exactly what the client wants. Clients are involved throughout the whole process to ensure the piece’s success.

The final product never fails to impress, and the client gets to walk away with the picture-perfect piece.

CUSTOM ORDERS

Is there a watch you’ve always dreamed of owning? Did you see a brand new piece from your favorite designer in a magazine? Bring your requests to The Estate Watch and Jewelry Co.!

The Edwards have far-reaching industry connections to find virtually any piece you’re craving. Maybe it’s a new model Rolex, only out this year. Maybe it’s a new bracelet from David Yurman. Regardless, the Edwards will use their extensive resources to find you the piece of your dreams—that is, if they don’t already have it in their impressive inventory.

APPRAISALS

The on-site appraisers at Estate Watch are happy to assist in valuations of jewelry and watches for insurance purposes as well.

The certified gemologists evaluate, describe, and value your pieces for a low, flat rate. The first piece to be appraised is $75, and each piece brought in at the same time is only an additional $15.

It is so important to have your jewelry and watches formally appraised for insurance purposes. Though everyone at the company hopes you will never have to use it, they urge their clients to protect themselves. The appraisals can often be done on the same day that you bring it in, and those few minutes could really be beneficial in the terrible event that a piece is lost or stolen.

The Edwards, along with the staff at The Estate Watch & Jewelry Co., welcome you to visit their storefront at 7121 E. 5th Ave, Ste. #23, Scottsdale 85251, or you can shop online at www.watchlink.com.

If you have any additional questions, concerns or comments, please contact them by phone at 480-946-9940 or by e-mail at [email protected].

The store is open Monday through Friday from 10am to 5pm, and on Saturdays from 10am to 4pm. They are closed on Sundays.

on Edwards and wife, Jill Edwards, have been the force behind The Estate Watch & Jewelry Company for over thirteen years now. Their storefront, located in historic Old Town Scottsdale, is home to a wide variety of treasures from high-end timepieces to rare, vintage jewelry pieces to contemporary designer pieces—all gently used and at great discounted prices.

The company is developing quite a reputation in the Valley and greater Phoenix area not only for its excellent prices but for fair buying practices. The Estate Watch & Jewelry Co. features only pre-owned, authentic items which are supplied by people just like you. On any given day, you will find clients in the store waiting patiently to sell their unwanted gold, diamonds and watches to the Edwards who have been offering top dollar for these types of items for years.

The company offers a wide variety of services, including buying, selling, trading, and consigning. They also offer appraisal services, watch and jewelry repair, and custom jewelry design.

BUYING

Don Edwards has quite an extensive history in the jewelry industry. He started when he was just 15, traveling around the country on buying trips. He has over 30 years experience in the buying side of the industry, making him an excellent resource for anyone looking to sell. Not only does he make fair offers, but he is also incred-ibly knowledgeable about the industry as a whole.

Clients are pleasantly surprised by the no-pressure atmosphere when they come to sell items. Don encourages sellers to get more than one offer—and more often than not, sellers come back to him at the end of the day. The company consistently offers the most money for your watches and jewelry, and their ever-growing client base is evidence enough.

The buying process at Estate Watch is very simple: just bring in any items you’re looking to sell, and then Don will evaluate each piece individually. There is no charge for a buying evaluation, and there is no obligation whatsoever to sell. If you’re happy with the offer, the company will issue a check to you that is cashable im-mediately. If you’d like to shop your items around a little bit more, you are more than encouraged to do so.

With gold reaching all-time highs in the last few months, the Edwards set themselves apart from their com-petitors by offering top dollar for your jewelry and watches. Buying evaluations are based on market price of gold the day you come in, and offers will stand as long as market values do not fluctuate dramatically. This allows you a longer window to shop your items and make sure that you are getting the most value.

UNIQUE INVENTORY

If you’re in the market to add to your collection, this is the place to be. Because the business collects their inventory from all walks of life, there is literally something for everyone in stock. The company’s massive inventory is displayed in their gorgeous storefront for you to admire.

The friendly staff is happy and eager to lead you to the perfect piece—in your price range.

The inven- tory is quite extensive. Whether you’re looking for

your own collection or a gift for someone else, you’re bound to find something perfect. They have a vast array of items with gorgeous precious gemstones like sapphires, emeralds and rubies. They also

have a stunning selection of diamonds. From earrings to necklaces to rings to bracelets, you won’t be able to leave the store without absolutely falling in love with at least one of their pieces. The company offers a huge selection of various high-end, name-brand watches that have been gently used and refurbished for resale. All items are guaranteed authentic, and all watches come with a full one-year warranty from the date of purchase.

You will find brands from Rolex, Breitling, Cartier, Panerai and Patek Philippe to Ebel, Movado, Omega, Tag Heuer and Concord. There are watches in a variety of styles: dress, sport, vintage, and even pocket watches.

Just as with the jewelry, there is also a watch for everyone—in a wide range of prices to match your budget.

TRADE

Perhaps you’re looking to trade out one of your pieces to upgrade to a new style. The Edwards will make you an offer on your piece(s), and you can apply that value to any item in inventory.

This practice is great for watch collectors. If you find yourself with a watch you’re just not wearing anymore, bring it in! You’re going to get a great offer, and their wide selection will give you plenty of options. The way the Edwards see it, if you’re not wearing it anymore, get something new that you’ll enjoy showing off to your friends—and at a fraction of retail!

CONSIGN

If you’re not in a hurry to get quick cash for your unwanted jewelry or watches, the company offers an amazing consignment program.

The process starts out the same as the buying process, but instead of receiving cash up front, you will receive the agreed-upon price once it sells in store. What’s nice about this particular program is that they don’t do consignment like a lot of other jewelry stores. You and Don or Jill will predetermine the amount that you will receive the day you leave it for consignment at the store.

HEALTH & BEAUTY LIVINGBeauty, Shopping, Bling and More!To Consign or Not to Consign . . .

That is the Question!Our recent economic struggles have left quite a few of us with the gnawing question of where to shop for just about every outfit from our daily grind apparel to our drinks out with the girls clothes and accessories, and our many other “outings.” This gal has found a virtual treasure trove of up-to-date clothing styles and a multitude of accessories at My Sister’s Closet with locations throughout the Valley.

Don’t expect to walk into a plush setting with chandeliers and cute pink ottomans for your husband and dog to sit on . . This is each gal to herself shopping! Grab a cart and go, go, go! You must be prepared to spend some time searching through the array of racks to find that “just right” item, so I suggest eating before you take this expedition and bring a Big Gulp with you . . . Even though they are banned in NY, we can still drink them here in Arizona.

Now, back to THE Closet . . . I’ll give you all of the locations at the end of my article. They are meticulous in how they peruse each item brought in for consignment. Trust me, I know, I’m one of their biggest consigners. Nothing can be over five years old, damaged, ripped, torn, spilled on, rusted, out of style, gross, smelly, well, you get the picture.Finding the perfect outfit will take you through the entire store, where you can purchase skirts, blouses, t-shirts, jeans, capris, scarves, shoes, handbags, jewelry, perfume, key fobs, sunglasses, day planners and more. The absolute best part is that virtually everything has a “newer” feel and look, although, they also offer fabulous vintage items. If your taste is for the label, then this is your store. Coach, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Escada, Prada, Burberry, Tory Burch, Tiffany, St. John, Jimmy Choo, Kate Spade, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana and more and more and more!

The prices? Fantastic.If you really want to change up your wardrobe, go through your closet at home piece by piece, including old jewelry, scarves, purses and shoes and take them in to consign. You’ll receive a good check from them in a few weeks once your items are placed on the floor and have sold. Unlike other consignment stores, My Sister’s Closet does not charge a drop-off fee, nor do they have huge sales where your items will sell for next to nothing and therefore you get nothing when all is said and done.

In a few short months, you could have a brand new wardrobe and have cleaned out your closet of unwanted, unworn clothing and accessories. So, put on your sneakers and head out to do a little digging! It’s well worth the time and effort and your wallet (maybe a Kate Spade from MSC?!?!) will thank you!

Happy Hunting!

What do you want retirement to be like? Where are you living? How are you staying physically active or mentally engaged? Let’s get the goals down first. Anyone can provide the tools to achieve them.
