鞏俐這身Roberto Cavalli晚裝裙簡直無與倫比，扇 形衣袖配露肩設計，很有東方氣派，貼身剪裁盡現 S形線條，再佩戴Piaget過千萬藍寶石鑽飾，高貴 性感。

交叉圖紋不要亂穿，否則就好像 「大美人」 李嘉欣這 樣，全身變得很亂很busy。Simone Rocha裙雖則 上身夠貼身，但下身cutting不闊又不窄，感覺較尷 尬，有點不太適合！

一看莫文蔚這身打扮已經覺得很亮麗，最欣賞她腰 間的金色花花腰帶，華麗又能點綴全身，加上裙子 的質料及印花很摩登，配上她的古典髮型，令人眼 前一亮。

This Roberto Cavali evening gown, worn by Gong Li, is one of a kind. Its fan-like sleeves and off-the-shoulder design exude an Eastern flair, while the tight-fit cut accentuates Li’s shapeliness. A blue sapphire necklace, worth more than $10 million, completes the sexy, elegant look.

Criss-Cross patterns should not be worn without considerable care, or else you might end up looking like the “Goddess of Beauty” Michelle Reis here - - messy and busy. While the Simone Rocha dress fits tightly on top, the cut at the bottom is neither loose nor fitting, giving it an awkward and inappropriate feel.

The gold floral belt accentuates Karen Mok’s look and brings elegance to the entire ensemble.

The material and print of the dress are modern, and in sharp contrast to her classic hairstyle, resulting in a refreshing look.

穿褲子不一定要斯斯文文，舒淇披上一件淺藍色超 長晨褸，即時為這身造型增添不少霸氣，再配上 La Perla性感黑色緊身束衣及Jimmy Choo閃石高跟 鞋，簡約得來又有焦點，絕對有型！

謝婷婷這條褐色Max Mara oversize jumpsuit相當老 氣，寬袍大袖，原本身型窈窕的她，也顯得下身肥 腫，而且內搭透視魚網上衣配搭古怪，完全遮蓋了 她平常性感健康的style。

阿Sa身上的Maison Valentino蕾絲裙時尚又型格， 特別喜歡裙子的透視蕾絲設計，帥氣中帶點性感， 配上一對Jimmy Choo厚底高跟鞋，渾身流露民族 色彩，好漂亮！

Pants don’t have to be demure. Here, Shu Qi adds a baby-blue, extra-long robe, which speaks of instant bossiness. Paired with a black tight-fitting bodysuit by La Perla and heels with glittering stones by Jimmy Choo, the look is simple, focused and super cool!

This loose and oversized Max Mara jumpsuit is too old a look for Jennifer Tse and makes her very fit body looks bloated. The fishnet long sleeves base layers looks strange and out of place, and the outfit completely masks her sexy and healthy look.

Charlene Choi’s Maison Valentino lace dress is trendy and stylish. The lace brings a look of coolness and sexiness and, when matched with a pair of Jimmy Choo platform shoes, provides an ethnic and attractive presence.

Rihanna

Sophie Turner

綠色是Rihanna當晚的打扮主調，頒獎台上的鮮綠 晚裝，當然令人印象深刻，但這身走個紅地氈的深 色套裝打扮卻似乎更不尋常，畢竟少見她不賣性 感，怎樣突然變得這麼端莊？

《變種特攻：天啟滅世戰》 的試映活動，影后珍妮花 理所當然地最受粉絲歡迎，打扮不用有新意，穿上 她最愛的Dior，還要是最常曝光的白色長裙，不就 很好看與很性感嗎！

其他同場女星，似乎不好意思太搶鏡，例如Sophie 就身穿黑色長袖長尾晚裝，四平八穩為上，尤幸胸 前與兩側開了不少孔洞位，玩低調性感也可！

Green is the main colour for Rihanna this night. The bright green evening gown on the award stage was indeed memorable, but this dark green suit on the red carpet looks rather unusual. Rihanna hardly ever misses the chance to show off her sexiness. How come she is suddenly proper here?

At the X-Men: Apocalypse preview, Oscarwinning actress Jennifer Lawrence is, of course, a fan favourite. Her look doesn’t have to be too creative. Nevertheless, this white Dior maxidress is very attractive and sexy.

Some stars aren’t necessarily interested in drawing attention to themselves. For instance, Sophie Turner’s black long-sleeve, long-train evening gown seems to be a safe bet. However, it does have holes in the bust area and on the sides, providing a low-key sexiness.

Britney Spears

Jessica Alba

Ciara

既然Britney的體重和身形不斷浮沉，就不應該嘗試 太多古怪造型，偏偏這個全黑look太多細節，不僅 透視位及網型boot都太難carry，也顯得整個人浮 腫。

時尚達人級女星失手已不是新聞，謝茜嘉可能覺得 沉悶便來點新意思，只不過長boot放在她身上土味 頗濃是事實，加上這個充滿偽東方味的髮型就更糟 糕！這樣子就失手了！

光靠事業線和長腿明顯不能夠滿足觀眾，不如好像 Ciara那樣毫無保留，銀色晚裝前面夠奪目，左右兩 邊真空，全方位大秀美好身段，必能令觀眾望多兩 眼。

Since Britney Spears’s weight keeps fluctuating, it’s not a good idea to try too many new looks.

This all-black outfit has too many details, such as the see-through top and the fishnet boots.

Both are difficult to carry and make the person look too bloated.

It’s not surprising that even the trendiest stars sometimes miss the mark. Jessica Alba may be trying some new ideas to break the tedium, but the long boots look too country on her. The faux Asian hairstyle also “accidentally” misses the mark.

Sometimes displaying both cleavage and long legs isn’t enough to satisfy the audience. So why not reveal more, like Ciara does? This eyepopping silver gown, with both sides open, shows off her beautiful figure without holding anything back. Of course, the audience will need a few more looks.

COVER STORY

Since forming her own company, Liu has

Challenging Argument

intentionally taken on differing roles. She has played a ghost and a wife who longs to have a baby. In her new movie, My Wife is a Superstar, she plays a role she has never played in real life – she is an extra who is fortunate enough to find favour with the boss and becomes the lead actress in a movie celebrating Chinese New Year.

“She is an extra who is passionate about acting, but without gaining the notice of anyone, just like Stephen Chow in King of Comedy, in which he took acting seriously but received ridicule and contempt in response.”

Taking on the role of an extra is challenging to Liu who says, “I went from extra to lead, and got my own makeup artist and hairstylist on the set serving me. It was the first time I (her character) got this treatment, so I was very curious and would look at a makeup brush for half a day.

“In real life, I am thankful that I never had to suffer being an extra, but I’ve been in the business for 10 years, so nothing surprises me anymore. I’d even say that I am a bit numb.”

In the movie, she plays Chu Kay, a frank and direct, even a bit gruff, individual, who dares to yell at her boss. This is in sharp contrast to Liu’s true personality. To scold another person at rapidfire speed was a big challenge.

“Since I started in movies, this is the first time I’ve had so many quarrel scenes,” she says. “In one scene, I had to scold Alex Lam for a long time. There were many lines, and I had to copy them by hand several times to memorize them.

“Because my Cantonese is not very fluent, my tongue kept twisting before I finished the lines. It was a difficult scene for me.”

She plays the wife of Pakho Chau again after the movie S for Sex, S for Secret, this time the atmosphere is much more combative. “There were many intimate scenes last time. After working together for a few days, we got used to each other and can understand each other.

This time, there are many quarrel scenes, so I needed to prepare more.”

Liu’s “preparation” turns out to be throat lozenges and throatsoothing tea.

“Last time, Pakho’s voice was so loud I was thrown offguard. After a few takes, I completely lost my voice and could not continue. This time, I first took throat lozenges to get ready, and my voice was able to hold up.”

To watch the usually sweet-voiced Liu scold people may indeed be a fresh new selling point.

Two 10-year anniversaries

In her 11th year in the performance business, Liu says there are many roles she’d like to play. “Flying on cables, using a green screen and adding postproduction CG effects, or shaving my head are all interesting to me.”

She is full of ideas now, because she realizes she was too passive when she first started out.

“In the first five years, I didn’t have any ideas about my career. Whatever role the company assigned me, I would play.

I didn’t actively fight for anything. It wasn’t until the sixth or seventh year that I started planning my own career.”

Even after starting her own production company, she has not been overly ambitious.

“I don’t like setting a series of goals too early. That would mean forcing myself to work, and I would get overwhelmed. If I walk a little, and look around, and adjust accordingly, I feel like I can be more efficient.”

Even though she follows her heart, heading north to China to further develop her career is a must.

“I haven’t worked in China for a while. In the second half of the year, I plan to partner with a Chinese company, and will shoot television series.”

Many of her plans are trade secrets, so she could not share in detail. But when it comes to discussing running, she gets excited. This is the 10th year she has participated in a 10K run.

“This 10-year anniversary brings me too many emotions.

This is a very special finale. It rained in the first race, and was cold and wet. I almost couldn’t see the road.”

In her 10th race, she adopted a very unceremonial slow pace to commerate it.

“I really wanted to enjoy the race fully, so I chose a slow pace. I knew for sure I would finish within the time limit. When others overtook me, I wouldn’t try to race them, because when I was practising I knew I couldn’t handle acceleration. If I tried to overtake them, I would not have enough energy to last till the end.”

She says she has now graduated from Hong Kong races and her next goal is to participate in overseas races.

“My first choice is Japan or Canada, because of the beautiful scenery. I won’t fret about how fast I run, but will enjoy running and watching the scenery at the same time. I have seen the Island Eastern Corridor in Hong Kong 10 times already, so I want to try a new course next time.”

been progressing? It’s difficult to tell,

because I am too low key. It’s just that everyone else is too high key.”

She doesn’t think people are interested in her daily travel schedule, or what she eats.

“Taking a picture of everything I eat and everything I do and uploading it to attract others to comment on my own life? I don’t think I need it.”

She laughs and says that all her friends and family are “higher key” than she is. “Once the food comes to the table, the cellphone eats first. But I decided to be the one who eat my food first.”

Instead of taking time to share her life via social media, she is happy to be a homebody, and have heart-to-heart chats with her mother, who recently moved to Hong Kong to live with her.

“I left Taiwan to study in Canada, and then I went to work in Hong Kong. Through this time, I haven’t had the chance to live with my mother. Now that she finally moved to Hong Kong, at first I was happy because when I came home after work, there was someone there. But when I thought more about it, I realized we really hadn’t communicated much.

“So if I have free time, I will have a cup of tea leisurely with my mother and have a chat. I’ll at least ask, ‘How is your day?’ and not just ‘hi’ and ‘bye.’ I have to open up myself to communicate in order to improve our relationship.”

While Liu is intent on building her relationship with her mother, her love life has drawn a blank. Recently, she was her good friend Liu Shishi’s bridesmaid and that led her friends to worry about her single status.

“Yes, every day there is someone reminding me to find a partner. But there is no need to think too much about this. It’s all up to fate, and I can’t control it.”

True to her philosophy of separating work from life, she declined to reveal her criteria for selecting a partner, offering only a sweet smile and this response: “I am very content with where I am now on my life’s Google map .”

Omega glObemaster In the CIty of Angels

發布會的嘉賓是奧斯卡金像影帝Eddie Redmayne。雖然主演的《丹麥女孩》 未能為他蟬聯影帝，但他的心情似乎 非常不錯，既攜同正大肚中的太太出 席，在台上台下亦笑容滿面，有講有 笑。他向大家透露，他與歐米茄的關 係其實很早就已經建立於他父親的歐 米茄腕錶之上。 The event’s guest of honour is Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne. Although his most recent performance in The Danish Girl didn’t earn him a second Best Actor Oscar, he still appears in a good mood. He attends the event with his expectant wife, Hannah Bagshawe, and he glows on stage and off. He tells the audience his relationship with Omega was established long ago because of his father’s Omega watch.

今次發布會於已有100年歷史的Mack Sennett Studios舉行，過去有多套舉世知 名的電影和MV都是在這個工作室拍攝的，例如Charlie Chaplin自編自導自演的 多套默劇電影。 The launch is staged in the 100-year-old Mack Sennett Studios, where many cinematic blockbusters and music videos have been shot, among them a number of Charlie Chaplin classics.

在享用過晚宴之後，便是享受音樂和美酒的party time。歐米茄請來的五人樂隊 可謂各有特色，負責吹喇叭的主音又吹又唱又跳舞非常落力。 After dinner, it’ s party time, with music and great wine. The five-piece band put on by Omega is full of character. The lead singer is a ball of energy -- singing, dancing and playing the trumpet.

歐米茄總裁Stephen Urquhart : 解構Master Chronometers

Omega CEO Stephen Urquhart : Defining Master Chronometers 今次Globemaster發布會屬於全球性質，大會忙於招呼來自世界各 地過百位記者和嘉賓，但忙得不可開交的品牌總裁歐科華依然抽出時間 接受我們的訪問，實屬難得。 ﹙E︰《EliteGen》/ 歐︰歐科華﹚ E ︰ 說起Master Chronometer，聽聞歐米茄目標在2020年完成所有新 推出的自動錶都取得相關認證，真的嗎？ 歐 ︰ 對，希望所有新推出的Co-axial同軸自動機芯甚至所有新系列都會 取得相關認證。例如在Baselworld錶展，我們便推出屬於Master Chronometer的Speedmaster計時錶，有月相顯示，另外亦會有女 裝錶推出等。同軸自動機芯本身的規格已經達天文台級，所以要 進一步取得METAS認證在技術上是完全可行的。其他機芯則因為 技術性問題，難以達到Master Chronometer的標準。 E ︰ 為何選擇Constellation系列作為靈感推出首款Master Chronometer 錶款？ 歐 ︰ 因為我們希望能夠將這個最新的認證和相關技術，擺放在一款 可以代表品牌整個歷史的腕錶系列中。Constellation不但歷史最 悠久，而且亦擁有多個最精準的紀錄。不過要澄清的是，雖然 Globemaster的設計取材自Constellation，但嚴格來講並不是一枚 Constellation來的。 E ︰ 現時除了歐米茄外，還有其他品牌參予METAS認證嗎？ 歐 ︰ 暫時只有歐米茄一家。這個認證仍在初生階段，需要一點時間才 會流行。 The international launch, attended by media and guests from all parts of the world, kept Omega CEO Stephen Urquhart on his feet throughout the event. However, he still took the time to talk with us.

(E : EliteGen / U : Stephen Urquhart) E : Regarding the Master Chronometer, we have heard that Omega aims to complete the certification for all new automatic watches by 2020. Is that true?

U : Yes. We hope all new co-axial automatic movements, as well as all our new collections, will be certified. At Baselworld, we launched a Master Chronometer Speedmaster Chronograph with moonphase. There will be women’s watches too. The co-axial escapement has already achieved the COSC standards, so it’s technically feasible that it can get the METAS certification. It might be harder for the other movements to meet the Master Chronometer standards, due to technical issues.

E : Why is Constellation used as the inspiration for the first Master Chronometer?

U : It is because we would like to apply this latest certification and related technology to a collection that represents the entire history of the brand.

Constellation not only has a deep heritage, it also boasts a number of precision records. We should clarify, though, that Globemaster takes inspiration from Constellation but, strictly speaking, is not a Constellation.

E : Are there brands other than Omega using the METAS certification?

U : Omega is the only one for now. This certification is still in an infant stage, and it will take time to grow.

At this year’s SIHH, Vacheron Constantin presented five new models (12 references) in the Overseas collection. Three of the models are powered by all-new calibers, offering a combination of complications and features, from date to chronograph, ultra-thin and perpetual calendar. All of them have these in common – they are practical, elegant sport watches bearing the Hallmark of Geneva, and all feature ingenious interchangeable bracelets and straps.

The brand’s representatives at the show demonstrated how deftly they could change a strap into a bracelet, or vice versa, with no tools.

So, rest assured that you, too, can do it within a minute when you’re in a hurry heading to work or a social engagement.

The Overseas Ultra-Thin Perpetual Calendar Patrimony is, hands down, the most eye-catching piece in the collection. The watch is fitted with the 1120 QP automatic movement, formed of 276 parts. The caliber, with 40 hours of power reserve, is fitted into a 41.5-millimetre (diameter) case that is only 4.05 millimetres thick.

The grey dial is decorated with blue highlights. The layout is balanced – with moon phase at 6 o’clock, day of the week at 9 o’clock, date at 3 o’clock and 48-month counter with leap-year indication at 12 o’clock. The perpetual calendar only requires manual adjustment on March 1, 2100.

It comes with a white gold bracelet and two straps – one leather, the other rubber – that are secured by a white gold buckle. It’s sold exclusively in the brand’s stores. text | Ringo photo | Zuak

八角形圖案 八角形圖案可說是品牌最經典的圖案，曾經在品牌的產品中多次出現。如 Chanel N° 5香水的水晶瓶蓋，也是品牌第一隻女裝腕錶系列Première的形狀，而 Chanel今年初於Baselworld發表的首個男裝腕錶系列Monsieur，亦將八角形巧妙地 融入錶殼設計。 巴黎高級鐘錶及時裝心臟地段Place Vendôme亦呈八角形，有說Chanel的八角 形狀圖案是為了紀念此地。Chanel女士於廣場15號的Hôtel Ritz住了超過30年，酒 店在經歷4年的翻新後剛於6月重開。 在公寓裡也有不少八角形物件，包括擺放於玄關位置的金框鳳凰鏡子及飯廳的 兩面蝕刻鏡子。客廳上的加啡桌，亦擺放了多個八角形的古董銀製飾物盒，據說是 西敏公爵送給Chanel女士的禮物。

The Elongated Octagon The elongated octagon must be the brand’s most iconic shape, and it adorns its most epochal products. You can find it rendered as a crystal stopper for the brand’s first perfume, Chanel N°5. It is the shape of the Première, the brand’s first watch and the first women’s watch ever made by a luxury house. It also frames the jumping hour display of

Première及最新BOY.Friend 腕錶的八角形亦用於Monsieur 腕錶的錶殼設計。 The octagon shape of the Première and the new BOY.Friend appears in the Monsieur watch as a frame around the numerals, indicating the hour of the day.

這枚BOY.FRIEND Arty Diamonds腕錶，採 上18k金並鑲嵌鑽石，八角形的形狀跟經典 的Première腕錶同出一徹。這款腕錶只限量 編號發行18枚。 The BOY.FRIEND Arty Diamonds watch, in 18-carat gold set with diamonds, takes on the same octagonal shape as the iconic Première watch. It is part of a very limited edition of only 18 numbered pieces.

the Monsieur, Chanel’s first men’s watch, launched earlier this year at Baselworld.

The shape is said to be reminiscent of Place Vendôme, the epicentre of haute horlogerie and luxury fashion in Paris. Mademoiselle Chanel lived there for more than 30 years at No. 15 — the Hôtel Ritz, which reopened in June after a four-year renovation.

You will also find many octagonal objects in Chanel’s apartment, including the gold-framed phoenix mirror in the foyer, the etched-glass mirror lending sparkle to the dining room, as well as an antique silver trinket box, said to be a gift from the Duke of Westminister.

獅子標誌 Coco Chanel生於8月19日，屬獅子座，因此她非常喜歡獅子形狀的擺 設。她的公寓可找到不少獅子雕像，其中一對捧著水晶球，而另一對則躺 於餐桌上。 獅子標誌亦經常見於品牌的高級珠寶設計。其中Sous le Signe du Lion 就是一套共有58件以美鑽及珍貴寶石鑲嵌而成的首飾系列。 象徵力量及權力的獅子，更於多方面點綴了品牌首枚男裝腕錶 Monsieur。獅子標誌一共出現三次，分別用於錶冠、錶扣及錶背，守護你 這是Coco Chanel私人公寓內眾多獅子雕像的其中之一。 One of the many lion statues inside the private apartment of Coco Chanel.

Born Aug. 19, 1883, Coco Chanel was a Leo and liked to surround herself with her zodiac sign. Her apartment is filled with lion statues: a pair holds up a crystal ball, while another pair lounges on the dining table.

The lion motif also finds its way into the brand’s high jewelry. “Sous le Signe du Lion” is a 58-piece collection, presenting in dazzling diamonds and precious gemstones.

A symbol of strength and power, the lion is also a fitting representation for the brand’s first men’s watch. You will find the big cat on the crown, the strap buckle and the case back of the Monsieur watch, guarding the passing of time.

The Camellia One of the most instantly recognizable emblems of Chanel is the camellia, also known as the Chinese Rose. A symbol of purity and longevity in Asia, it is Coco Chanel’s favourite flower.

Her love affair with the flower is evident in her private apartment. They are depicted in mother-of-pearl on Coromandel screens decorating the walls, and reincarnated in rock crystal in her custom-designed chandelier.

From couture wear to leather goods to makeup, the pretty blossom appears

In the digital world, women can use image-editing techniques to create a clearly defined face. But in the real world, if they look at themselves in the mirror, they will realize that, with aging, comes fat and fluid deposits and such problems as swelling and sagging.

To restore a perfect V-shaped face, the first step is to choose skincare products designed to firm and lift the skin and defeat the appearance of a puffy face.

In addition, if one eats food containing large amounts of salt and MSG, this will lead to fluid retention and a puffy face.

The most effective way to achieve a delicate and defined facial outline is to use facial masks that contain essences with firming and lifting elements to help reshape the contour of the face. Also, don’t forget issues such as bags around the eyes.

Recently, this author tried the Clarins Defining Eye Lift Serum. It is non-greasy and contains kaki (persimmon) and zerumbet (ginger), among other ingredients. It has the effect of firming up the skin and reducing puffiness, ideal for bags under the eyes. The Clarins Enhancing Eye Lift Serum $64 (Hudson's Bay)

product also contains Vitamin B5, which strengthens eyelashes and reduces the shedding of lashes.

打造全方位智能家居

HigH TecH Life Both Indoors and outdoors text | Zoe Mak photo | Bill Toms

Origin: 為配合現代生活智能化，手機的功能已經不 再只限於通話聯繫，現在不少室內冷暖系統都可 以透過手機操控，不過就有屋主對智能家居有更 高、更奢華的要求。 屋主希望利用高科技和高智能，加上現代化 的設計將家居完全自動化。屋主還希望能夠隨時 隨地利用手機上的中央系統應用程式，來管理和 配合家庭個人日常生活的需要。 整套智能家居系統主要控制燈光、暖氣、空 調、影音系統、保安系統如門鎖和車房門。除此 之外，這個智能家居系統還可以控制家中的高爾 夫球模擬器，可以讓屋主利用真的高爾夫球棒及 高爾夫球向著模擬畫面擊球，並利用高清畫面效 果和4高速鏡頭計算擊球的速度和轉速。 另外，系統還可以控制家庭影院的電動屏 幕。 To stay current with the high-tech modern life, cellphones are being used for much more than voice communications.

This homeowner wanted to use high tech and smart tech, together with modern design, to automate his home and be able to manage and co-ordinate the daily needs of family members with a cellphone.

The entire smart home system controls lighting, heat, air conditioning and the audiovisual and security systems, such as door locks and the garage door.

In addition, the smart home system also controls the home’s golf simulator, which allows the homeowner to use real golf clubs to hit real golf balls towards the screen. It also utilizes high-definition effects and four high-speed lenses to calculate and control the hitting speed. The system also controls the motorized screen in the family theatre.

Feature: 這所位於多倫多的智能家居配備了個人化的智能系統。負責設 計和安裝的Bill Toms表示，這個項目利用了幾年時間，分兩個階段 進行。第一階段先完成部分智能系統的安裝，並將所有電線都收藏 於牆內；重頭戲是第二階段，我們把其他大型電器及裝置一併加進 系統，包括三部電視、高爾夫球模擬器、更多的照明控制，並同時 加入冷暖和影音系統，以及更多的保安裝置。 為兼顧項目的實用性和設計美感，整個項目其中一個挑戰是將 所有電視及音響組合的電線，或者屬於任何後台的電線組完美地收 藏於牆內。 屋主可以利用手機應用程式來控制整個系統，為了提高系統智 能性，設計師在編寫程式時就加入屋主和家人的個人日常習慣和喜 好，讓系統可以完全配合屋內每個人的需要 。例如可以為不同房間 設定不同的鬧鐘響鬧時間，更可按個人喜好預先設定當鬧鐘響時各

安裝團隊與設計師緊密合作，務求在妥善安裝 所有電器及裝置的同時，確保不會影響室內設 計的舒適度和美感。 The installation of all the appliances and cabling are carefully co-ordinated by the interior designer to ensure comfort and beauty inside the home.

種自動化的貼心服務，如立即開燈還是讓燈光漸進式開啟、調節室 內溫度及窗簾開關等。此外，系統還可以預先設定照明、保安等來 配合各種不同模式。 整套智能系統主要由電腦Control4控制，加上另外不同的器 材，再配合個人化的設計程式讓整套系統滿足屋主和家人的個 別需要。設計師表示Control4可以適用於大部分電子產品，例如 Yamaha Receivers, Sun Projects Shades, Definitive Technology Speakers, Sony Projectors, Samsung TVs, Axis Security Camera, HAI Security System, Leaf HDMA Video Matric, Planet Networking, Wattbox Power Control 等。如果有其他品牌，他們可 以特別編寫程式來配合。

屋主希望智能家居能集實用和美感於一身。 The homeowner requires that the smart home system balance practicality and aesthetics.

This Toronto home has a personalized smart system designed and installed by Bill Toms, who says it was a multiyear project, divided into two stages. The first stage consisted of installing part of the smart system in the fish house, and hiding all the cables inside the walls. In the second stage, larger appliances were added to the system, such as three televisions, the golf simulator, more lighting control, the HVAC and audio-visual systems, and more security equipment.

In order to balance the practicality and aesthetics of the project, the most difficult part of the project was to hide all the television and audio system wiring, and all backstage cabling, inside the walls. The entire smart system is controlled by a Control4 computer. Other equipment was added and co-ordinated with a personalized design to satisfy the individual needs of the homeowner and his family members.

The homeowner can utilize the mobile app on his cellphone to control the entire system. To further increase the “smartness” of the system, the designer added the daily habits and preferences of the owner and his family to the programming of the app. For example, you can set different alarm times for each room and turn lights on or off. The opening and closing of curtains can also be co-ordinated with the alarm time.

Toms says the Control4 computer can co-ordinate with such products as: Yamaha receivers, Sun Projects shades, Definitive Technology speakers, Sony projectors, Samsung TVs, Axis security cameras, HAI Security System, Leaf HDMA Video Matric, Planet Networking and Wattbox Power Control. Designers can also write new programs to work with other brands.

Highlight: 為配合系統使用，Bill提及某些家電品牌可能需要特別改裝， 不過基本上所有家電都適用於這個智能系統。例如Sub Zero推出 的智能雪櫃與系統融合後可讓你控制溫度、設定不同模式如度假時 適用的vacation mode，或者加快製冰速度的party mode，甚至可 以通知你雪櫃門未關好等。另外Wolf焗爐則可以讓你以手機操控隨 時預熱、改變煮食模式，甚至透過手機通知你焗爐內的食物已經煮 好。 智能家居的主要用途就是提高室內外生活質素和便利，同時提 供穩妥的保安設備。當門鐘響時，屋內所有電視都會即時播放門外 Toms says that some home appliances may need to be adapted, but most can be used with this smart system. For example, Sub Zero has smart refrigerators that allow for temperature control and different pre-set modes, such as vacation mode, or party mode (which increases the speed of producing ice). There is even a mode that notifies you if the refrigerator door has not closed properly. Wolf ovens also allow you

個人化的智能家居系統，可 以配合家庭每一位成員不同 的生活習慣和喜好。 A customized smart home system can be designed according to each family member’s life habits and preferences.

整個項目最特別之處就是高清高爾夫球模擬器。除了 可以揮動真高爾夫球棒擊球之外，還可以邊看電視、 聽音樂邊打球，加上旁邊的酒窖和照明系統的智能控 制就可以完全放鬆地享受。 The most unique part of the entire project is the high-definition golf simulator. Besides swinging a real club and using a real ball, you can watch television and listen to music while golfing. The wine cellar nearby and the smartcontrolled lighting system further enhance the golfing experience.

Cost 包括設計和安裝照明、冷暖、音響、保 安、門鎖、車房門系統，高級家庭影院電動 屏幕和高爾夫球模擬器，約$120,000。 Including the design and installation of lighting, heat, audio, security, lock, garage door systems, the motorized theatre screen and the golf simulator, the cost is about $120,000.

保安鏡頭所拍攝到的影像，屋主的手機亦會接到通知，並可透過手機控制門鎖。當 有盜竊危機，系統就會立刻通知屋主，同時將全屋所有照明和音響系統啟動，而保 安攝錄機亦會將影像傳送到屋主的手機。當保安系統啟動時，屋主還可以透過手機 鏡頭和應用程式跟門外的訪客通話。為了進一步加強保安效果，屋內的音響系統更 會播放狗吠聲來提高阻嚇作用。 而門鎖亦可兼容多組密碼的設定，例如清潔鐘點工人有一套個別的密碼，只 適用於指定日子和時間；如果有人於該設定的時間後嘗試輸入，屋主會即時接到通 知。另外，當孩子放學後利用特定個人密碼開門，系統就會通知屋主孩子已經安全 到家了。

If there is a risk of burglary, the system will notify the homeowner immediately, as well as activate all light and sound systems. The security camera will transmit the image it captures to the homeowner’s cellphone. When the security system is activated, the homeowner can use the camera on the cellphone and the cellphone app to communicate with the person outside. To further increase security, the sound system will play dog barks to warn the potential intruder.

The locks in the house can be pre-set for different people to further enhance security.

For example, the cleaning person may have a personalized code that can only be used on an appointed date and time. If someone tries to enter a code after the designated window has passed, the system will immediately notify the homeowner.

屋主可以在家中不同角落利用電視、手機來控制系統。 The homeowner can use the television and the cellphone to control the system from different corners of the house.

When children use their personalised codes to gain entry, the system notifies the homeowner that they have arrived home safely.

英吉利灣位於市中心，景色秀麗怡人，最適宜欣賞雄偉日落或沉殿於海洋的恬靜。這裡鄰近溫 哥華潮區West End，Denman夾 Davie街交界，無論是遊客或本地居民，毋須遠離市區，便可享受 那份令人心曠神怡的西岸海灘氛圍，同時亦可感受熱鬧的都市脈搏。 位於英吉利灣的心臟地帶，1193 Denman街這個極旺的位置，曾經是著名餐廳Raincity Grill 的舊址，可惜這家有超過25年歷史的餐廳最終結業。新登場是去年開業的Beach Bay Café and Patio，繼續為客人帶來無敵海灘美景。走過對面街可找到街頭藝術展品A-maze-ing Laughter。這 個價值5百萬元的雕塑出自北京藝術家岳敏君的手筆，設計由14個咧嘴後仰大笑的銅像組合而成， 現已成為城中最知名的戶外藝術品之一，引來很多途人自拍留念。 雖然在開業之初，餐廳仍在摸索其方向及定位，但現時Beach Bay Café已決定走休閒典雅路 線，為食客提供太平洋西北岸的沿海美食，採用本地食材，及不破壞海洋生態的海鮮。

A scenic beach in the middle of the city, English Bay is a perfect place to view glorious sunsets or take in the peaceful ocean. This bustling neighbourhood is located near the West End intersection of Denman and Davie streets. Here, tourists and locals alike can enjoy the relaxed West Coast beach vibe and urban city living at the same time.

In the heart of English Bay, a legendary restaurant called Raincity Grill operated at 1193 Denman St. for more than 25 years. It eventually closed and a new restaurant, the Beach Bay Café and Patio, emerged last year. Just like its predecessor, Beach Bay provides its clientele with spectacular beach views and more.

Across the street is the A-maze-ing Laughter, a public art and selfie-taking hotspot. The $5-million sculpture, which consists of 14 giant statues of men laughing hysterically, was designed by Beijing artist Yue Minjun. It has become the city’s most recognizable piece of outdoor art.

Although it struggled initially to find a clear direction, Beach Bay Café has now established itself as a casually elegant restaurant serving Pacific Northwest cuisine that is locally sourced and ocean friendly. 炸魚(龍躉)和薯條Lingcod Fish and Chips

Montreal Plaza選址Plaza St-Hubert，令 人意想不到。 Montréal Plaza’s location in sleepy Plaza St-Hubert is just one of the restaurant’s unexpected surprises.

Montreal Plaza 6230 rue Saint-Hubert, 514.903.6230, https://montrealplaza.com/ Hours: Open daily, 5 p.m.-11 p.m. Reservations recommended. Mains: $18-$52.

01•這是其中一款house wine，產自法國Rhone Valley一個小酒莊，酒釀 十分優質，但餐廳卻幽默地為它起名為Cuvée des Pas Bons（意謂不 好） 。 Crête shows us one of the house wines, cheekily named Cuvée des Pas Bons (aka not good), which is produced in a small vineyard in southern Rhone Valley (and is very good).

02•Montreal Plaza的藍蛋白糖霜脆餅，是一道玩味十足的甜品 ($11) 。 Montréal Plaza’s intriguing blue meringue dessert is a playful take on a cheese plate. ($11) 03•二人份的甘荀蛋糕，配以香滑的法式蛋奶醬($22) 。 The “carrot cake for 2” at Montréal Plaza is finished with a tableside drizzle of crème anglaise ($22).

01

營業時間: 每日下午5時至晚上11時，建議訂座，主菜價格: $18至52。

怪，但廚師在蛋白糖霜脆餅上加上藍芝士脆粒，香脆甜滑，口感出奇 地和諧。 餐廳空間寬敞，可容納70位客人。裝潢由名設計師Zébulon Perron主理，有著巴黎小酒館的寫意氛圍，同時帶點本地傳統法式居 所的溫馨。除了偌大的開放式廚房外，餐廳的陳設亦令人目不暇給。 單是主廚Crête在店內工作室親手製作的各款小裝飾，已經別致非常 （其中一款是旋轉桌上倒掛著公仔屋），另外還有種滿蘭花的溫室、他 父親的木製工藝品，以及於酒窖上方展示的各個小熊公仔收藏。

02

Toasted brioche cubes sop up the liquor left behind by whelks that have been coated in an umami-packed miso butter. It’s almost a balanced meal if you consider the dish’s aromatic garlic, root vegetable and chive topping a serving of greens. Even the quirky-sounding blue meringue dessert, a cacophony of crushed meringues casually scattered over crumbled blue cheese, delights. Crisp, creamy, sweet and savoury, the combination is punchy and surprisingly harmonious.

03

Warm and welcoming, the spacious 70-seat Zébulon Perron-designed room resembles a cross between a Parisian brasserie and a traditional French-Canadian home. Besides a large open kitchen, the room is a visual feast. Look for whimsical trinkets made by Crête in his onsite workshop (like the dollhouse hanging upside down above a rotating table on a pedestal), a greenhouse filled with orchids, woodwork made by his father and a changing display above the wine cellar featuring his stuffed bear and online alter-ego, Ritalin.

The Gems For years, critics and food lovers have been praising Le Club Chasse et Pêche, co-owners Claude Pelletier and Hubert Marsolais’ Old Montreal space, for its refined game and fish dishes. Recently, its younger sister, Le Filet, has begun to make its own waves, wooing discerning palates with chef and coowner Yaku Okazaki’s modern Asian- and French-inspired menu. Chocked full of premium seafood, the reasonably priced dishes are split into three sections: Game (share-friendly starters), Set (cold dishes) and Match (hot mains).

Seared scallops emerge from the rear open kitchen with panache. Surrounded by ravioli filled with sumptuous squash puree, the bivalves proudly sport a crisp golden crust and a whisper light parmesan espuma (foam) skirt. Scampi risotto bursts with umami, thanks to concentrated shellfish jus and shiitake mushrooms, and it’s elevated further with a quenelle of mascarpone.

Okazaki’s blue cheesecake is marvellous, and will convert the most adamant protests into songs of praise. The reincarnated cheese plate comes with a savoury sweet dessert that’s broken up with a pleasing sandy sablé crust and richness-cutting poached pears and berry coulis.

山羊奶甜品加入了沙棘果及porcini菇， 屬驚喜之作($10)。 An unexpected, but pleasant, goat milk dessert, with sweet milk skins, sea buckthorn berries and porcini mushrooms. ($10)

Start the night with the aptly-named house cocktail, Piscine, which is composed of vodka, Campari and sparkling Bugey-Cerdon rosé. Unless a teetotaler, follow it up with a flight of wines from the impressive list compiled by co-owner Patrick St-Vincent and sommelier Philippe Boisvert. Try the Chablis from Isabelle et Denis Pommier, a splash of Pierre Frick Riesling, or if you’re feeling super spendy, a bottle of the 1990 Château Latour. Whatever you choose, you’re guaranteed to have a memorable, wonderful and seriously tasty time.

Looking for market-driven fare that uses quality ingredients handled with skill, and served in a relaxed room that has a horseshoe bar? Head to Hôtel Herman where Marc-Alexandre Mercier cooks artful, almost delicate, terroir-driven food. Jerusalem artichoke soup, served tableside, forms a warm blanket over pearls of mullet caviar mounded over smoked crème fraiche. The former adds pops of salinity, while the latter provides aroma and cooling, rich texture. It’s a stark contrast to the foie gras-laden indulgences (although foie gras does appear on the menu) the city is most known for.

Partake in an early dinner at Le Vin Papillon. Not only will you beat the crowds to the Little Burgundy wine bar, but you’ll have all night to graze through Marc-Olivier Frappier’s lighter, vegetable-focused plates. The chalkboard list of food-friendly, organic and biodynamic wines are interesting and delicious. They’re also brought in specifically by managing partner Vanya Filipovic and server Max Campbell’s wine import agencies. Don’t be afraid to let the staff guide you through uncharted territories. It will be a worthwhile experience.

One of the best known pastry chefs in the province is chef-owner Patrice Demers whose shop, Patrice Pâtisser in Little Burgundy, has become a mandatory stop for food lovers near and far. Stay in for a nutritious and delicious made-from-scratch lunch or a Sunday brunch plate, or stock up on his brown butter financiers, scones, canneles or mini-pastries. But save room for Demer’s signature Vert, a complex and brilliant combination where refreshing green apple granité is shaved over white chocolate yogurt mousse, and topped with fruity olive oil, toasted Sicilian pistachios and young cilantro shoots.

Walk like a Medici: the Vasari Corridor The Vasari Corridor was largely unknown to the world until Dan Brown made it famous in his thriller Inferno. It is a secret passageway built by Cosimo de’ Medici, linking his residence at Pitti Palace to his office, now the Uffizi Gallery Museum.

Normally closed to the public, I was spoiled by Insight Vacations with an exclusive tour. The entrance is through a non-descript wooden door in the Uffizi Museum. Once you descend the stairs, you find yourself in a totally different atmosphere. While the gallery outside is ornately decorated from floor to ceiling, the corridor inside consists of bare white walls and plain tiled floors.

Apparently, the prestige of this revered passageway lies not in its décor.

這是全世界最長的畫像走廊。現時收藏了過千幅畫作，包括16至20 世紀名畫家的自畫像，藏量是全世界最豐富的。 It is the world’s longest single passageway of portraits.

Nowadays, it houses more than 1,000 paintings, including the world’s largest collection of self-portraits by some of the most famous painters from the 16th to the 20th century.

01•Mark Edmonds 在會上介紹Maserati Levante。他向本刊記者表示， SUV市場近年持續增長，故Maserati 有意分一杯羹。 Presenting the Levante, Ferrari Maserati of Vancouver general manager Mark Edmonds told our reporter that the SUV market has been growing non-stop in recent years and that Maserati is keen to grab a share of the market.

Maserati Canada主帥Richard Trevisan接受本刊訪問時指 出，Levante瞄準豪華SUV的顧客群，是Maserati歷史上的一個轉 捩點，令品牌擁有史上最完整的產品線。他說：「在2012至2014 年間，我們從不足7,000輛的年銷售量增長至36,000輛，這部SUV 將會進一步推動品牌的發展，有助Maserati於2018年達成70,000 輛年銷售量的目標。」 Ferrari Maserati of Vancouver總經理Mark Edmonds說，北美 的奢侈品買家對於豪華SUV需求旺盛，此情況在溫哥華尤甚。他 表示，自Maserati推出Quattroporte及Ghibli後，品牌銷售量大幅 飆升。他也預料Levante會再次締造銷售佳績 。 Maserati Canada’s president, Richard Trevisan, told EliteGen that the Levante marks a turning point in Maserati’s history, completing the company’s product line.

“Between 2012 and 2014, we had increased our annual sales from 7,000 cars to 36,000 cars,” he said. “This SUV will further fuel the brand’s development and will help Maserati achieve the goal of selling 70,000 cars by 2018.”

Mark Edmonds, general manager of Ferrari Maserati of Vancouver, said luxury consumers in North America, especially in Vancouver, have a high demand for SUVs. As the launch of Quattroport and Ghibli led to drastic increase in sales for Maserati, he believes the Levante will have similar effect.

Polaroid在相機史上絕對堪稱經典，大底即影即有配合復古外形，時至今天仍不乏用家。其實有玩菲 林機的人，對香港相機品牌MiNT不會陌生，更可能注意到MiNT對Polaroid的敬愛深厚無比。 Polaroid holds an indisputable place in the annals of cameras. This large format instant camera with the vintage look is not short of diehard fans.

Photo enthusiasts who are into classic film cameras will be familiar with the Hong Kong brand MiNT, a company that puts Polaroid on a pedestal.

Some time ago, MiNT produced SLR670α and SLR670m to pay tribute to the Polaroid SX-70. It repeated the feat recently with a new flagship model, the SLR670-S, which it describes as the most advanced model of the SX-70 series.

The latest creation looks no different from its predecessors and still takes inspiration from the classic silhouette of the Polaroid SX-70 and works like the professional model SLR 680. The operation is also the same as the SX-70, except for the added feature of adjustable shutter speeds.

這就是MiNT最新研發的Time Machine， 非常小巧，不須電池亦可使用。 MiNT’s newly developed Time Machine is compact and does not need a battery to operate.

你可想象SX-70竟然有一日能夠用上B快門拍攝嗎？MiNT就將這個 不可能變成可能了。 除此，Time Machine最令人驚喜的地方在於，竟然還有 A600及A100可以選擇！若是以前，大家想影ISO600或ISO100相 紙，只能在指定Polaroid相機才能用到，或要去改機。但現在用 SLR670-S，只須轉一轉Time Machine的設定，內置的全新測光 眼就會根據環境光線計算出最準確的曝光，連ND filter都不用， 便可隨時以ISO600及ISO100這兩款相紙拍照！真是造福了不少 Polaroid愛好者。 除此之外，MiNT亦同時為去年推出的全球首部雙眼即影即 有相機InstantFlex TL70推出後繼機InstantFlex TL70 2.0 Bright Screen，據聞MiNT 團隊特意到訪德國Rolleiflex舊工廠取經，新 機捨棄了上一代的十字磨砂取景器，而轉用菲涅耳透鏡，亮度比 MiNT亦為InstantFlex TL70 2.0 Bright Screen推出一系列配件，包括 日本製造的相機套 （US$207） 、頸繩 （US$63） 及鏡頭套裝 （US$103） 。 MiNT has also introduced a range of accessories for InstantFlex TL70 2.0 Bright Screen, including a Japanese-made case (US$207), strap (US$63) and lens set (US$103).

You may counter that this is nothing special as SLR670m also has this feature. But that’s not true. SLR670-S stands out with the newly developed Time Machine feature, which offers a choice of 16 shutter speeds, the fastest being 1/2000, and there are the B mode and T mode to choose from. Ever imagine that the SX-70 might one day offer a B mode? MiNT has made that come true!

As well, Time Machine also presents the choices of A600 and A100. In the past, you could only use a specific Polaroid camera for either ISO600 or ISO100 photo film, or modify your camera. With SLR670-S, you can simply adjust the Time Machine setting and the processor will calculate the most accurate exposure, based on the ambient light. You won’t even need an ND filter to be able to use ISO600 and ISO100 films -- good news, indeed, for Polaroid fans.

MiNT has also introduced InstantFlex TL70 2.0 Bright Screen to upgrade the world’s first twin-lens instant camera, the InstantFlex TL70, which debuted last year. It’s said that MiNT’s team made a pilgrimage to the old German factory of Rolleiflex. The resulting new model replaces the last-generation matt viewfinder with Fresnel Super Viewfinder that is five times brighter. The circular lines of the viewfinder also help in focusing.

Handy accessories, such as a Japanese-made neck strap, case and a lens set (three ND filters, a close-up lens and a lens hood) enhance the versatility of the twin-lens instant cameras.
