Fabulous in Rochester Rochester native and fashion connoisseur, Courtney Winslow, shines the light on spring and summer fashion. COURTNEY WINSLOW
Y
ou know that moment in your life when your kids finally go off to school, you have started to lose that long-awaited last 10 lbs. of baby weight, and you’re thinking “Hey, maybe I’ll start my own business!” Yeah, I had that for about 10 minutes. Bugaboo, Boppy and bounce chair were all sold at the last garage sale. Baby clothes, swaddle blankets and sleep sacks had been given away to new mommy friends. My tummy was flat for the first time since high school. My dresses were mini and my energy was making a comeback. Hmm, maybe that’s how this all happened? BAM. I’m pregnant. The moment the blue line appeared, I quickly decided that I was going to be Super Woman; I’m not going to get fat, I’m not going to get sick, I’m not going to slow down. I totally got this. Then, I hit week seven. Or, I should, say week seven beat the crap out of me until week 14 saved me.
Pop-Tarts, bagels and Zofran were my only friends. The North Face
puffer coat, old jeans, sneakers and striped tees were saved for my good days. My fur collar coats made me gag, my silk shirt chilled me, and my beloved sweaters were too itchy… or hot… or not warm enough. My husband thinks he’s going to save thousands this spring. Now that I’ve crossed over to the other side, where we are clearly outnumbered by little gremlins, I can “give up.” I’ll have to trade in my SUV for a minivan, and then I will not care what I’m wearing and resort to sweats and rain boots. I will not need a new geometric clutch this summer; instead, a crappy fabric diaper bag will do. Is he right?
This will be my biggest challenge yet: how to stay fabulous while a pregnant mommy of two.
It’s probably best if, this season, I share what I think you should wear rather than subjecting you to all the embellished mumus that I’ll be hiding in
I have to admit the trends for spring and summer this year are tricky. Summer is usually the easier season, because
(once again, thank God for caftans).
a tan is free and usually everything fabulous follows effortlessly. I am going to review the more difficult trends, because if they are done right you can be polished, sporty and girly all at once. But with this knowledge comes
great responsibility. Make me proud: embrace the bold florals, surprise me in electric sporty brights with matching handbags, seduce me with icy pastels, and absolutely win me over with everything white.
Yes, I’m going to ask you to wear everything I can’t. These trends are anything but maternity friendly. To start, everything has a waist. I do not. Seriously, did I really need to get knocked up during the return of the crop top? This new top is refined, fabulously sexy and sophisticated. Not the half shirts your 15-yearold neighbor uses to seduce your husband (sorry, you just can’t compete with that), these are calculated and structured, with just a peek of a tanned belly. So start doing your sit-ups and get a damn spray tan if you have to. Balance the look with a high-waisted pleated skirt that goes down to your knees. And just when you think you might look ridiculous in it, picture my enormous stomach poking through. (Plus it’s a good visual to either give you a good laugh, or make you feel better about yourself.) Skirts attempt to replace the dress this summer. More work? Yes, but with it also
comes more options. You can wear a skirt to two different weddings this summer and give it two completely different looks. They should be full, pleated, with a snug
waist and most importantly, unique. They pair perfectly with a crisp blouse, or a cropped halter and a ’90s low-heeled pump. They are glimmering in metallic, perforated in neoprene, or silky in menswear stripes. No minis, skirts this season are feminine without screaming “Look at my ass! I work out!” Perfect for hiding those not-so-skinny margaritas when you can’t make it to spin class. Oh, you don’t think you’ve ever seen me at Midtown? Not true, I go there like every other stay-athome mom: to drop my kids at Kidtown and drink coffee with my friends. Skirts aren’t the only separates making waves
The sporty board short has me dreaming of my California beach life.

block patterns and zippered accents sit low on the hip. These versatile and cooler alternatives to the jean short are much more interesting and hip. They might require a little more sophistication, but remember they are just glorified shorts, so don’t be too intimidated! Wear them with an ironic tee and a pair of skate sneakers. Skater shoes are a great option for weekend birthday parties, the
inspired (now this is the key word here, INSPIRED) by Birkenstocks. Ah, I said it (I literally slowed down my typing). Listen close: refined hippie, okay? Don’t go pulling out your high school patchouli-soaked Birks from your parents’ basement. These can be simple nice brown or black patent leather strapped with a flat platform. You might even glam them up with a dark floral patterned leather or some jeweled, embellished straps. If you’re scared, just stick with Havaianas. I can’t take the pressure. So this summer, I’ll be lucky to get into a swimsuit and sad to miss my sounds-of-summer faves at CMAC on my due date (Foreigner, Styx and the Eagles—please, it’s like twisting the knife). But, I have done my best to search for sexy strappy sandals that will distract from my cankles, fitted column cotton dresses in wild prints to embrace my baby belly, colorful tribal ponchos to hide my back fat, a killer Hermès watch with adjustable wrap strap, and sparkly gems to divert the eye. I will not fall pray to the elastic-waist pants for long. I will fight the battle of the bulge and wiggle my way back into fall’s favorites. The fat lady hasn’t sung, luckily, because I have a terrible voice.

Here Comes the Sun Hot trends in sunglasses for 2014. ELISE DIAMANTINI
The flowers are blooming and the days are getting longer. Wake up your wardrobe with a new pair of stylish sunglasses. RETRO REVIVAL The ’70s have recently been a major fashion influence, and eyewear this season is also taking a nod from the decade. Says Fashion Snoops’ Lindsay Alt, “There is a very interesting ’70s influence happening right now; I love the Fear and Loathing look that we’ve seen on runways. I think people always fantasize about the late’60s and early-’70s, so trends from those times are often adopted quickly.”
MIXED MATERIALS Just as in women’s apparel and jewelry, mixing materials is a hot trend in designer eyewear. As Vision Monday magazine’s Deirdre Carroll predicts, all sorts of combinations—acetate fronts paired with metal temples or wood fronts paired with acetate temples, for example—will be strong styles for spring.
THE EMBELLISHED EYE
MIRROR MIRROR While some may see mirrored lenses and think “cop glasses,” this trend is taking the fashion world by storm. Carroll elaborates: “Flash and mirror coatings on lenses, usually seen on sport performance pieces, are now being paired with more fashionable acetate styles and feel especially fresh. Monochromatic frame and flash mirror lens pairings are also on the rise, i.e. a green frame with green lenses.”
SIZE MATTERS Oversized glasses are a tried-and-true trend that isn’t disappearing anytime soon. However, as an update this spring, designers are introducing lighter-weight frames so glasses won’t weigh you down. “While oversized sunglasses and deeper optical frames are still popular,” says Carroll, “they can also be heavy on the face. Designers are using more lightweight materials, like flat-sheet stainless steel and titanium, or carving the acetate more delicately, to make glasses more comfortable and wearable.”

Have a little fun with your eyewear. Designers are enhancing glasses by adding quirky ornaments to some of this season’s frames. Or you can take a plain pair and DIY! “We’re seeing everything from cheetahs to rosebuds being placed right on top of the sunglasses, says Alt. “It’s something you would expect the younger generation to pick up, but everyone is going crazy for it. You never know what people will take to; that is what makes it so fun.”

Rochester Yacht Club
Food Truck Rodeo
Hedges Nine Mile Point Restaurant
Movies in the Parks
Set sail to Charlotte Pier for warm winds and racing, as you enjoy a classic summer tradition. The Rochester Yacht Club (RYC) hosts several world-class regattas on Lake Ontario each season. Four are scheduled this summer, including the 2014 J/70 North American Championship in July and U.S. Sailing’s Junior Olympics in August. If you’re tired of being simply a spectator and interested in testing your sea legs, RYC also offers sailing lessons to the public—open to everyone from youth and beginners to the seasoned seafarer. Interested in making some maritime memories? Check out rochesteryc.com for more information.
Quickly becoming a summer staple is the Food Truck Rodeo at the Public Market. And with good reason. Whether you’re craving gourmet grilled cheese or something glutenfree, it’s all there—and on the go. Rochester’s favorite food trucks, including Le Petit Poutine, Brick-N-Motor and The Meatball Truck are among over 40 vendors that anchor the event, and this year they’re making room for even more. Craving a fried Twinkie or a fish taco? No problem. It’s something to celebrate—so we do. Along with great local food, there’s local beer (Rohrbach’s) and local bands. So bring a lawn chair and join the party. There will be plenty to eat! Check out the Public Market at cityofrochester.gov for dates and times.
For fine lakeside dining, a visit to Hedges Nine Mile Point Restaurant is a summer must. Enjoy surf & turf with lobster tails, crab legs or Maryland lump crab cakes, and spirited cocktails while looking out towards the sunset over Lake Ontario. Open since the 1920s, Hedges blends classic cuisine with reminiscent seafaring décor, sure to transport your taste buds. After dinner, choose a selection from the extensive wine list and take a stroll on the shore, or relax in an oversized Adirondack chair by the gazebo. There’s no better place to bask in a late-night summer breeze. Open for the season beginning in late March. Call 585.265.3850 for a reservation or visit hedgesninemilepoint.com.
It’s the silver screen under the stars when the Movies in the Parks series returns in July. The season traditionally kicks off with the classic summertime thriller Jaws at Ontario Beach Park on July 1 and wraps with a current Academy Award winner at Highland Park Bowl on July 24. Line up the kids in lawn chairs for an animated feature or cuddle up on a blanket for a romantic comedy—all in a natural park setting, with every amenity of your favorite theater… popcorn, soda, coffee, candy and more! A definite blockbuster is Retro Night, with classic ’80s features, like Ghostbusters and Back to the Future. Pre-show fun includes live music and movie trivia. Free and open to the public. Movies begin at dusk on Tuesdays at Ontario Beach Park and Thursdays at Highland Park Bowl in July. Find the 2014 film schedule at monroecounty.gov/parks.

Either way, you’re sure to get a taste of what road racing is all about. After the second lap, stop at the start/finish line to take pictures. When you’re ready to hit the breaks, enjoy a VIP lunch at the exclusive Glen Club. Ready, Set, Go! Cost is $42 per person and includes lunch. Groups must be 25 or more.

ON DISPLAY
Many leading arts institutions now regularly highlight fine and contemporary jewelry from the 19th and 20th centuries—and visitors have taken note. or the past three years, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts has served up Jewels, Gems, and Treasures: Ancient to Modern (through June 1), drawn from the museum’s over 20,000-piece collection of jewelry. “Not only is this exhibit bringing a lot of visitors to the museum, but there’s now more respect for jewelry in the art world. It’s no longer considered something just for women [to wear],” says Yvonne Markowitz, the Rita J. Kaplan and Susan B. Kaplan Curator of Jewelry at the MFA. While Markowitz’s next exhibition will focus on the museum’s collection of ancient Nubian jewelry, come September, more 20thcentury jewelry will be on display at the MFA as part of an upcoming exhibition devoted to Hollywood fashion and glamour. New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, which has long been known for showing modern jewels, recently put together Jewels by JAR, the first large-scale exhibition of the exquisite work of Paris-based jeweler Joel Rosenthal. “If you look at Joel’s work, it’s like sculpture, it’s three-dimensional,” says associate curator Jane Adlin. “There’s no difference between someone like Joel and
F
Frank Stella or Anthony Caro. It’s just that Joel is working in gemstones.” The Met will soon be showing another exhibit curated by Adlin, International Contemporary Jewelry from The Donna Schneier Collection, from May 13 through August 31. It will feature more than 100 pieces from the 1960s onward, designed by 88 different artists from 17 countries. Another museum at the forefront of bringing contemporary jewelry to the masses is New York’s Museum of Arts and Design, which will feature Multiple Exposures: Jewelry and Photography from June 24, 2014 through January 18, 2015. This ambitious exhibit focuses in part on how art jewelry and technology can collide. “Art jewelry is often idea-driven, so an exhibition can lend itself to a theme or aesthetic,” says Ursula Ilse-Neuman, the museum’s curator of

jewelry. “That’s what makes it intriguing to our visitors. This kind of jewelry is not just about decorating the body or finding the right accessory for your green dress.” In other cases, leading jewelry makers are arranging for their most beautiful wares to be shown in museums. Some glorious vintage Tiffany pieces are part of the Museum of the City of New York’s Gilded New York exhibit (through November 2014), which can be found in the new Tiffany and Co. Foundation Gallery; Cartier recently organized an exhibition of its finest works for the Grand Palais in Paris; Van Cleef & Arpels put together A Quest for Beauty, which closed in February at California’s Bowers Museum of Art; and the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, Florida recently

The Aurora Butterfly of Peace Perhaps the most unusual jewelry exhibition of the moment is The Aurora Butterfly of Peace currently on view through June 1 at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. Artist Harry Rodman and curator Alan Bronstein spent 12 years assembling the 240-piece collection of natural colored fancy diamonds from around the globe, one stone at a time, and shaping them into a butterfly. “The Aurora Butterfly of Peace is both an exquisite artistic creation and a valuable scientific collection,” says Dr. Eloïse Gaillou, NHM’s associate curator of the museum’s Gems and Mineral Collection. “A diamond’s flaws and impurities offer clues into the geological conditions that have dubbed diamonds ‘messengers of the deep earth.’ ”

LÉGENDAIRE NICE
From its venerable position on the Promenade des Anglais, the very grand Hotel Negresco in Nice, France has epitomized Côte d’Azur style for over 100 years. Collected behind the lofty facade is 400 years of French culture and art including works from the reign of Louis XIII and avantgarde sculptures (Picasso and Dali often stayed here). After viewing the hotel’s treasures, guests can watch the chic passing Riviera scene while sipping rosé in the outdoor lounge. The sommelier will take interested oenophiles off to one of the nearby vineyards for a tour and tastings. And dinner at Le Chantecler, the two Michelin-starred restaurant with a wine cellar containing 15,000 bottles, is a full evening’s experience. Of course, for those who come to Nice for the sea, the hotel has its own private beach.

DISCOVERING NEW WINES FOR SUMMER
When dining at Vetro Restaurant & Lounge in Howard Beach, New York, guests can enter through the front door or dock their yachts at the marina. The menu includes classic Italian food and over 400 wines. According to Vetro’s sommelier, PJ Connolly, “Summer wines should be refreshing and you need to find a crisp, clean acidity.” The 2012 DAOU Vineyards Grenache Blanc Paso Robles from California is a grenache blanc with citrus and melon aromas and bright acidity. Nice for a barbeque. The 2012 Tenuta Guado al Tasso “Scalabrone” Rosato di Bolgheri, an Italian rosé, is blended from cabernet sauvignon, merlot and syrah. Fresh with a crisp finish, serve with fruit and light salads. The 2010 Pago De Los Capellanes Crianza, Ribera del Duero from Spain is 100 percent tempranillo and goes well with grilled meats and salsa verde. And from France comes the 2010 Domaine Faiveley Mercurey 1er Cru “Clos Des Myglands.” This pinot noir from the Côte Chalonnaise in Burgundy is a versatile wine: excellent with game meats or cheese, or by itself on a warm sunny day.

A HORSE OF COURSE
Just 40 miles from Washington D.C. in Middleburg, Va., the Salamander Resort & Spa is set on 340 acres in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It features luxurious suites, spa, cooking studio and wine bar, but it’s the great outdoors that beckons most visitors. In the Culinary Garden the chef teaches secrets of organic farming, and guests can pick herbs and produce for a cooking class or dine under the garden trellis. There are hiking and biking paths, tennis courts and croquet. Naturally, since the resort is surrounded by Virginia’s famed riding country, horses are a mane attraction (the resort has nine horses and two ponies, or you can bring your own). The Equestrian Program at Salamander includes a practice ring, instructional classes, and riding trails through woods and fields.
WRAPPING UP THE SEASON
ROBERT GODWIN
Before beginning her career as a couturiere, Jackie Rogers was a model for Coco Chanel and learned much of her craft, style and technique from the legendary designer. She’s created clothes for some of the most famous women in the world, including Julianne Moore, Condaleeza Rice, Roberta Flack, Nicole Kidman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Salma Hayek and Courtney Love. For this spring and summer Rogers suggests a wrap-tie blouse, which she makes to order in 100 different colors (she particularly likes it in shocking pink). “A tie blouse can go over anything and make everything look new and fresh again,” she explains. (And think of the jewelry options!)
STRAVINSKY IN SANTA FE
Every summer The Santa Fe Opera in New Mexico presents repertory and contemporary performances on a high mesa overlooking two mountain ranges, a setting unmatched anywhere in the world. This summer, the program includes Carmen, Fidelio, the American premiere of Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, and a special salute to one of the early supporters of this unique company. In 1957 Igor Stravinsky was invited for the first season. Intrigued by the innovative organization, the celebrated composer returned several times to direct and conduct his own operas. In 2014, Santa Fe pays tribute to Stravinsky with a performance of Le Rossignol, marking the 100th anniversary of the opera’s premiere in Paris. The nightingale doesn’t only sing in Berkeley Square.

TAKE A Drink-cation
Wineries and distilleries offer up luxe accomodations. ines, spirits, beers and even cocktails can evoke a specific sense of place: Tuscan Brunello, Scottish whisky and Mexican tequila all taste better at their places of origin, and when experienced later, can take you back to that remarkable journey in an instant. Whether you're traveling with the sole purpose of visiting a boozy hotspot (your favorite winery, perhaps, or a local whisky festival), planning a destination wedding, or you're in the area by happenstance, an increasing number of wineries, breweries and distilleries are providing posh accomodations that embed you in the action. While many wineries around the world boast charming cottages or extra on-site rooms, a few locations take things up a notch (or three!) with elegant hotels, resorts and private bungalows. Castello Banfi, located in the Brunello region of Tuscany, is at the heart of Italy's Banfi wine estate. The family-owned winery began as the dream of Italian-American John Mariani, Sr. (inspiried by his great-aunt Teodolinda Banfi, the head-of-household for Pope Pius XI). Helmed now by his daughter Cristina Mariani-May, the brand aims for a blend of classic and state-of-the-art techniques for modern, natural wines. A holistic approach to winemaking extends to the lodgings. Known as Poggio alle Mura in the 13th century, the fully renovated castle sits atop a hill overlooking 7,100 acres of Banfi's vineyards and the surrounding fields and forests. Visit the castle to enjoy tours, top-tier restaurants, an

enoteca-style tasting room and the Museum of Glass and Wine, with exquisite examples of glassmaking dating from ancient Egypt, through Rome and Venice, to modern day. Il Borgo — a small stone hamlet alongside the castle — houses the handful of elegant rooms for a longer stay. Modern amenities (full WiFi, a new wine shop, interior design by Federico Forquet) and shaded, private entries blend perfectly with 18th-century architecture. Stay in the royal Poginello suite and score a complimentary bottle of vintage Brunello (1978 at the moment). You can walk the grounds, take tours, even take in the Tuscan countryside from a balloon ride that launches right outside your room. (€1,560 to €3,000 per person for a three-night package, based on double occupancy. Includes a guided tour and wine pairing Tuscan dinner, children under 12 free. Visit castellobanfi.com. ) Also in Tuscany, L'Andana is everything a luxurious Tuscan villa should be. The Mediterranean-themed resort rests amid 1,200 acres of expansive vineland. The brainchild of Italy's Moretti family (Gruppo Terra Moretti), it’s now a joint effort with famed chef/restaurateur Alain Ducasse. In addition to Ducasse’s La Villa restaurant, the resort features a spa, a driving range and an interior ‘winter garden.’ A cyprus-lined lane leads to the impressive ‘summer home’ plastered in warm ochres and salmons with a grassy lawn and outdoor pool. Junior suites feature incredible views of the grounds, rustic modern French/Italian-influenced design and free WiFi. The larger

Superior and Prestige suites include fireplaces for plenty of late-night wine tasting, and a romantic terra cotta chapel is ideal for weddings. The Terra Moretti Group is behind a number of respected Italian wineries, including Bellavista, Petra and Tenuta La Badiola. Founded by Vittorio Moretti in 1967 and overseen by his three daughters, Terra Moretti has been actively expanding into partnerships with luxury hotels and yachts... because wine tastes great in those venues, of course! (€550 to €1,400. Visit andana.it.) Perhaps wine isn't your thing. If it's a glass of single malt for which you yearn, and your favorite way to drink involves having a dram handed to you by your butler, then get thee to Gordon Castle in north-central Scotland. Located near Gight, in the Speyside whisky making region (think The Macallan, Cragganmore, The Glenlivet), Gordon Castle has a long, intricate history with Scotch whisky. Built by George Gordon in the 1470s, it was once one of the largest country homes in Scotland. It was here that the 4th Duke of Gordon — who was ‘harboring’ tenant George Smith's illegal distillery — helped push to make Scotch malted whiskies legal, and on the Duke's land where Smith's The Glenlivet distillery first set up house in 1824. Today the castle-turned-hunting lodge is a full-fledged, fully refurbished hospitality site with immaculate grounds, lush furniture, original paintings and yes, Findley the butler. Whether you arrange a wedding, come for the world-class salmon fishing on the grounds, or set up a tour of the brand new Glenlivet distillery and visitor center (perhaps during the biannual Speyside Whisky Festival), a week here will spoil you for anywhere else. If you ask extra nice, perhaps they can help track down a bottle of the new, mysterious Glenlivet Alpha, of which only 3,500 bottles were released. (Exclusive booking, fully catered, £3,000 per night for up to 10 people,
minimum three nights. A seven-day stay is £16,000 for up to 10 people. Extra guests £100 per night.

"I thought, I only really get to do a hotel once in my life, so it ought to be the best one." Located in the heart of port wine production, the hotel overlooks red-roofed houses and the Duoro River, a river that defines much of the wine culture in Spain and Portugal. The Relais & Chateaux hotel wows on entry with elaborate marble staircases, classic statuary and a perfectly poised outdoor pool (and sultry indoor version). Rooms feature innovative design including beds and hot tubs in some rooms crafted to look like wine barrels. "I thought it would be too much fun to put a bed in a wine barrel," says the charismatic young Bridge. "And every room has a view." Following a treatment and Roman bath at the Vinotherapie Spa by Caudalie or a sommelier-guided tour of the wine cellar, head to dinner at the Michelin-starred restaurant and sample wine director Beatriz Machado's 1,200-bottle list, including ports from The Fladgate Partnership (Taylor Fladgate and Fonseca). The vintage Fonseca 2008 made from old vine grapes is particularly warm and rich, yet understated. If you're going all out, the Bacchus Suite (named for the Roman god of wine and fun) features a freestanding fireplace, copper soaking tub and 1,600 square feet of open design, fine wood floors and a private terrace. A Bacchus Wedding Night package is also available. (€249 to €1,100 per night based on double occupancy. Visit the-yeatman-hotel.com/en.)

WATCH ADVISOR CAN ANY WATCH BE REPAIRED BY ANY TECHNICIAN, OR ARE WATCH MOVEMENTS UNIQUE TO EACH BRAND? It depends very much on the watch. Many watches use movements (the mechanism inside that actually keeps time) made in the tens or hundreds of thousands by major industry suppliers, but some luxury watches use their own in-house movements and materials that few watchmakers are trained to service, or can't obtain the parts to service properly. Especially for luxury mechanical watches, we always suggest using a brandauthorized service center like the one in our store. Mistakes are very easy to make, and extremely expensive to fix.
How many parts are used to make a timepiece, and how many hours go into constructing it?
E
ven a simple mechanical watch that tells only the date and time can have over a hundred parts, including the case, dial and hands. Very complicated watches that include functions like a chronograph (stopwatch), a perpetual calendar (one that always shows the right date, no matter if the current month has 30 or 31 days, or even if it's February 29th in a leap year), or a repeater (which chimes the time on tiny gongs inside the watch) may have many, many more. Watches that combine these complications, often called “grand complication” watches, may have close to a thousand parts, all of which have to be tested and re-tested. They can take nearly a year to assemble. Most other watches take much less time to build. Exactly how much depends on the level of care that goes into finishing the movement parts, how complex the case construction is, whether or not any special techniques must be used to make the dial (for example, enamel and engraved dials both take considerable time and skill to make), and how carefully the watch is adjusted—that is, fine-tuned to keep time accurately. Mechanical timepieces can be almost entirely machine fabricated and assembled, or they can be almost entirely made by hand, virtually from scratch. It all depends on the specific model. A mass-produced mechanical watch is a marvel of industrial technology that makes it possible, for a reasonable price, to enjoy all the pleasures of mechanical watchmaking. A hand-assembled, hand-finished watch with a hand-finished movement, individually adjusted by an expert watchmaker, takes many dozens of hours of skilled work, which can only be done by highly trained experts with years of experience.
What is the difference between quartz and mechanical watches? Is one better than the other? A mechanical watch is powered by a coiled spring—just like a child's wind-up toy—and it uses a mechanical, rather than electronic, oscillator to mark time. (Think of the principle of a pendulum clock, where the pendulum always swings, say, once per second. Of course, a pendulum wouldn't work in a portable timepiece; it uses something called a balance and
balance spring that perform the same function.) Mechanical watches are preferred by most serious watch lovers, and their history goes back much further— all the way back to the late Renaissance if you include pocket watches. Quartz watches are generally more accurate and almost always less expensive. However, a wellmaintained mechanical watch can
keep time to within a few seconds a day, or even a week—more than good enough for most purposes. Mechanical watches also offer a history and heritage far older than quartz watches. Though they're technical marvels, the massproduced, basically disposable nature of many quartz watches makes mechanical watchmaking something that continues to be held in high regard. BY JACK FORSTER
A quartz watch is powered by a battery, and keeps time by passing a tiny current through a very small quartz crystal. This causes the crystal to vibrate, like a tuning fork, and a tiny integrated circuit counts the vibrations per second to mark time. The hands are moved by miniature electric motors. They are a fairly recent development; the first were sold to the public in 1969.

It was serendipitous. After 14 years at our Smith Street place and wanting to redo and rehab Saul, we saw this as a great opportunity to be part of an iconic institution. We were able to keep everybody from the old Saul and just continue on in the new location—in a bigger space. To have that kind of continuity in your kitchen and in the front of the house is a gift. Manhattan’s Union Square Greenmarket is a destination for chefs as well as residents and tourists. Which markets in Brooklyn should people check out? We go to Grand Army Plaza on Saturdays.

FINE FARE
Discover a few Brooklyn chefs crafting delectable dishes in the borough no longer considered off-thebeaten-path. SHIRA LEVINE hose who plan their travels around the gastronomic demands of the stomach (or rather, the palate) should point their appetites toward the newly haute Brooklyn food scene. No longer the borough where your grandfather played stickball, post-industrial Brooklyn is ripe with multi-million dollar urban mansion conversions and shiny glass skyscrapers. Even the most exclusive Manhattanites now salivate at the locally sourced, sustainably farmed charm of the varied dining options. People from Sweden to Singapore are dropping the phrase très Brooklyn when describing things ultra cool, and they’re chomping at the bit to feast on Brooklyn’s fare. While the borough has long had its culinary attractions—The River Café, Peter Luger’s, Junior’s— a new wave of chefs has recently arrived to elevate the epicurean landscape. Like the influx of locals trading in Manhattan zip codes for new Brooklyn digs, chefs are seeking more space, cheaper rent, and a less frenetic lifestyle that allows them to tinker with recipes and cultivate their own culinary visions. From back-to-basics dishes at cozy-chic restaurants, to Michelin-starred, fancy fine dining rivaling the best in the world, Brooklyn’s nouveau cuisine is giving Gotham’s more than 10,000 restaurants a run for their money. The small-village vibe of neighborhoods like Park Slope, Boerum Hill and Carroll Gardens provides a welcoming atmosphere that’s utterly un-Manhattan, yet just across the river.

care of the more specialty, esoteric stuff, like fresh lima beans and shishito peppers. The best fish purveyor in New York is also in Brooklyn. And we have great cheese purveyors here, like Saxelby in Red Hook. My favorite is Stinky in Cobble Hill. What do you make of all the attention Brooklyn has been getting? I’m really proud of where I live and I love to share it. I can cook foie gras in Brooklyn just as well as I can anywhere in Manhattan, and now people realize it. You’re the man behind Brooklyn Bangers, which has become quite a successful enterprise. We wanted to do an American gastropub where we were making awesome sausages and charcuterie. It morphed into sausage-making equipment in the basement of The Vanderbilt. We started to sell them at the Brooklyn Flea, where some people wanted to buy them wholesale to serve at beer gardens and specialty stores. The Barclays Center approached us and we were like, “What the hell? Why not sell them at a basketball arena?” Next year we’ll be in Citi Field, MetLife Stadium and the Prudential Center, and we’ll be carried by [grocery delivery service] Fresh Direct. What are your favorite restaurants in Brooklyn? I love the tripe tacos at Tacos Matamoros in Sunset Park. I eat often at Al di La: great Italian in Park Slope. I also love Tanoreen’s Lebanese food in Bay Ridge.

â&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had the opportunity to dine at Al Forno a number of times. This Providence, Rhode Island restaurant and itsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; chef/ owners Johanne Killeen and George Germon are credited with inventing the grilled pizza. I was introduced to them and their place by Jasper White, the great Boston chef for whom I was working at the time. Contrary to what most people envision, preparing a grilled pizza couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be easier, and it is practically foolproof. The quick cooking over hot coals results in a pie with ďŹ&#x201A;avor and texture that reminds me more of true Neapolitan pizza than most pizza oven-baked pies. To make these pizzas in your backyard, you need a grill that can be covered, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to create dual temperature zones (hot coals on only half the grill, for example). Another important tip: have all topping ingredients at room (or outdoor) temperature before starting to grill the crust.

technology
t's not just on TV and in the movies: crime is becoming increasingly high-tech. Whether the issue is identity theft or a sophisticated jewelry thief employing camouflaged miniature cameras and computers for long-term surveillance, it may be time to upgrade your own home security systems. "The market's changed a lot in the past three to four years," says Scott Harkins, president of Honeywell Security Products. "It's way more than traditional security measures—doors, windows, smoke detectors." Honeywell recently integrated its Total Connect Remote Services system with its Tuxedo Touch touchpad controller, for a (residential or commercial) system that allows the user to customize operations from a touchpad, or one's smartphone, tablet or laptop. Multiple users and configurations can be assigned, so kids, visitors and service staff can have access to meet their needs. Separate buildings within the wireless automation area (workshops, guest cottages) get their own security systems, and you can add a beach house or condo's system to the same Total Connect app. You can secure all doors and windows at once wherever you are, schedule lighting to turn on or off, adjust temperatures as needed, and the app will instantly email you if anything doesn't seem right. Motion detectors placed inside valuables on display will notify you if they're moved, and cameras at doors or other security points can instantly email you video of what triggered them. From blinds to sprinklers to electronics, anything that can be automated—like the popular Nest Learning Thermostat—can be connected to Honeywell's system. Perhaps the most intriguing part of this integration of security with other aspects of your lifestyle is the focus on consumer appeal and ease-of-use. "We don't

BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY New home security systems and jewelry storage options provide the latest high-tech innovations without being eyesores.
even view ourselves as a security company any longer," says Harkins. "We consider ourselves a connected home organization. Ten years ago, the protection industry was about the technician installing the system. Now it's about the consumer. We want the product to look really nice and elegant, and for the consumer to want to use it on a daily basis." The same holds true for safes, which are also becoming increasingly high-tech and customizable, while not being a design eyesore. Casoro Jewelry Safes builds completely customizable safes and vaults offering a variety of exterior colors and interior fine wood drawers that give the feel of an elegant jewelry cabinet. Features like built-in watch winders, dehumidifiers or vertical space for guns or other collectibles can be easily added. Meanwhile, Cannon Safe offers Smart Safes with electronic-mechanical protection technology to guard against electromagnetic pulses and surges, which can disarm electrical locks. Cannon's safes can also feature internal power stations for dehumidifiers and chargers, along with USB ports and an RJ45 Ethernet media connection.
MORE TIPS FROM THE EXPERTS
■ The first, best security system is to not make your home a target in the first place: Avoid giving away exact
travel plans on social media sites, use proper external and internal lighting, and make sure doors and windows are secured while you’re away. ■ If you store passwords and combinations on your computer (you shouldn’t), label the file with a random title like “Best Shopping Malls” instead of “Important Passwords.” ■ Don't store passports and insurance papers in the same (probably prominent) safe your jewelry and watches are kept in. Consider a hidden floor safe in an obscure location. ■ For high-value protection, consider hiring an independent security consultant to review existing security measures and recommend upgrades. ■ Lock access to your mobile devices with a random password.

SpinCYCLE
Indoor cycling has become the latest craze. ELISE DIAMANTINI Soul Cycle Locations: 25 with 15 openings planned this year, including its first international location At Soul Cycle riders can expect a “cardio dance party.” As instructor Marvin Foster explains, “Soul Cycle is a full-body workout that requires core strength, rhythm and coordination of the upper and lower body. Each class consists of interval jumps out of the saddle, quick-fire sprints, massive hills, upper body push-ups in and out of the saddle, and a

ay goodbye to those tired spinning classes from the ’90s. Indoor cycling has gotten a major makeover, and new methods that incorporate strength training with spin are popping up all over the U.S. Most rides are 45 to 60 minutes long: total body workouts that leave riders dripping with sweat. In a typical class, you can burn anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories (depending on variables like body type, how hard you push yourself, etc.). And you know it’s a good workout when celebrities like Kelly Ripa, Lady Gaga and Jake Gyllenhaal are all spinning to stay in shape. Another reason people love indoor cycling is the mind/body connection many studios offer. Classes are led by high-energy instructors who inspire and motivate riders to push their limits. At Soul Cycle, phrases like Aspire to Inspire, Change Your Body, and Take Your Journey are printed in big, bold letters on studio walls to motivate students during their rides. Instructors draw parallels between struggling in the class and the life struggles we all face, giving people the inspiration and strength to tackle anything that comes their way—on and off the bike. Instructor Marvin Foster explains that Soul Cycle offers more than just a workout. “Every class begins with a spiritual journey, eventually

building into a full-blown cardio dance party. At Soul Cycle, it’s about support, community and strength. I like to think of teaching as an exchange. We are both in the room, on our bikes, and we exchange the experience back and forth.” Flywheel’s Jaimie Bailey says of her teaching method: “Most of the things I say while coaching riders through a long sprint or heavy climb are things that have gotten me through thick situations. There is nothing better than having one of my riders share a Flywheel success story with me. Each class is not only challenging and fun, but inspiring. Flywheel loyalists come back for more not only because they love it, but because it works.” Music plays an important role in classes too. Riders are often encouraged to pedal to the beat, so speed can change dramatically based on a song’s tempo. Cyc touts a “unique playlist that includes unreleased songs and remixes,” while Soul Cycle hosts special themed rides, like a class that only plays Beyoncé or one that features songs from the TV show Glee. Whatever philosophy you follow, indoor cycling is a low-impact, high intensity cardio workout that helps you burn calories, build muscle, clear your mind and have fun!

Cyc Locations: Madison, Wis.; Austin, Texas; New York, N.Y. Cyc activates the whole body the whole time, with moves inspired by more than 20 sports such as boxing, volleyball and swimming. Cyc Social, a proprietary social platform, allows riders to see where people within their network are sitting so they can book a bike nearby, and receive notifications when friends register for classes. Ride for Change is a part of Cyc’s tracking technology loaded onto every bike, and proceeds are donated to one of Cyc’s charity partners for every mile achieved.
Flywheel
Locations: Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, LA, Miami, NYC, Philadelphia, Dubai Flywheel incorporates the TorqBoard, a proprietary technology which instructor Jaimie Bailey explains as a way to “digitally display and monitor every rider’s real-time performance data. Additionally, after class each rider can view their personal performance data (total power, miles, calories burned, etc.) on our Performance Page, enabling individual goal setting and performance tracking.”

GIN

Gin hasn’t been this popular in 300 years. BY ROBERT HAYNES-PETERSON
back row, and perhaps four million vodkas on the front,” says Simon Ford, international brand ambassador for Plymouth and Beefeater gins. Today, the scene is, thankfully, far more complex, with gin cocktails dominating many a bar menu. Gin got its start when 17th-century British mercenaries discovered Dutch genever (a malted spirit with juniper) during the Thirty Years’ War. It traditionally consists of an amalgam of botanical “flavors” (seeds, roots, berries) infused into a high-proof neutral base spirit and re-distilled. What spirit and flavorings are used, and how they’re processed, creates different gins. Hendrick’s “steams” a basket of botanicals with the vaporized alcohol, then adds cucumber and floral notes. Beefeater steeps its botanical brew, distills it and blends it with (essentially) vodka, cutting the distillate at just the right moment to capture citrus notes. Citadelle Reserve is barrel-aged for six months. Lest you shy away from gin for all that juniper, know that only London Dry styles (think Tanqueray or Bulldog) are expected to have juniper-driven flavor profiles. New Western Dry styles, like Aviation and G’Vine (made with grape alcohol), might emphasize orange, rose or saffron. If you seek something truly over-the-top, Nolet’s Reserve ($700) is a limited-edition Dutch sipping gin with notes of saffron and verbana. Want to try your hand at blending the perfect gin? For about $65, Plymouth Gin master distiller Sean Harrison will guide you through his historic distillery in southwest England, lead a comparative tasting, then turn you loose to create your own mini-bottle. You’ll have your choice of 20 different botanicals, and cook it all up in a miniature still.
