“Because the consumer expectations of service keep changing, the environment of our store will change according to their tastes,” Bailey explains. “The uncluttered design makes it easy for us to modify and refresh each department.

“We also hope the design inside the store will be convenient for the customers, letting them explore brands they have not come into contact with before in a relaxed manner. Further, the store lets in a great deal of natural light, creating a comfortable shopping environment.”

Bailey says that in addition to men’s, women’s and children’s fashion, five shoe departments and plenty of cosmetics and accessories, the store will also feature a restaurant, a casual lounge and an espresso bar, so customers can sit, rest and enjoy delicious food while they are shopping.

Nordstrom plans to open two stores in Toronto next year - in the Eaton Centre and at the Yorkdale Shopping Centre – and at Sherway Gardens in 2017. According to Bailey, the company’s ultimate goal is to open eight to 10 full-line shops in Canada, and 15 to 20 Nordstrom Rack discount stores.

低調革命 A Low-key RevoLutioN

Niki Chow

Many celebrities enjoy being the centre of attention, but imagine one who wants to remain low-key? The world is a paradox — the more curious you get, the more the other person hides things. In reality, if the person wants you to know something, he or she will reveal it at the appropriate time.

Niki Chow has always been the understated type. She seldom announces her plans with fanfare. In her career, she quietly went north to China to take the role of Princess Pingyang, and became an overnight success. In her business, she invested in a hair salon and has been serving as the behind-the-scenes boss for five years.

In her love life, she has remained tight-lipped, so Chow’s matters of the heart are certainly not easy to ascertain. Be prepared for her to show up with her beau at any time.

Being Afraid to Fail Had it not been for her foot injury, Chow would not have had time to tend to the activities at the hair salon she invested in. As a result, she broke her usual silence and revealed the “secret” that she has already achieved boss status. She mischievously laughed, “Even the few dozen employees in the company don’t know that I am the boss.”

Chow, who turned 36 last month, is not keeping things quiet because she is worried others will figure out how much she is worth. Rather, it’s because she is too proud and worried about failing. “At first, others were not confident in investing in the hair salon business, so I was worried about naysayers and did not make the business known to the public,” she says.

“Early on, I was worried about the high rents, whether hair spas would work in Hong Kong and the fact that I did not have any business experience.

“I was anxious, but then I was only in my 20’s, young enough to afford to lose. Besides, I really wanted to start a new venture before my 30’s, and I have a business partner who promised to help. So, I gathered up enough courage and jumped right in!”

COVER STORY 能順利營運五年，Niki拒絕說自己「成功」，認為「滿足」 形容得更貼切， 「成功與否，視乎好多客觀條件，但生意業績 可以向自己和員工交代，令大家有穩定收入，已經好滿足。 以前有位高人朋友提點過我，應該利用自己的幸運，回饋社 會，捐錢、起學校其實還不夠，他提議我做生意可以為其他 人製造機會，令幾十個家庭得到安穩生活，功德更大，所以 照顧一盤生意雖然辛苦，但我可以學習之餘，還可以不斷積 福，真係意外收穫。」Niki有此宏大理想，當她的員工，相信 待遇也不薄呢！

Afterward, she says she felt relaxed, energized and able to think more clearly. So she thought to herself, “How come there isn’t such a service in Hong Kong?” “It was so comfortable. Your blood circulation improves and your mood becomes brighter, so I really wanted to bring it to Hong Kong. At that time, I didn’t think about how much money I would make. I just wanted to share it with everyone and make more people happy.”

After being in business for five years, Chow refuses to consider herself “successful.” She thinks “satisfied” more appropriately describes the current situation. “Success depends on many objective criteria, but as long as there are business achievements for which I can be accountable to myself and the staff, such that everyone has a steady income, I am quite satisfied. “I once had a wise friend who advised me to use my own fortune to give back to society. Giving to charities. building schools is not enough.

Is it because she has a new life plan that she continues in her low-key manner?

Her sister, Kathy, recently gave birth to a beautiful baby. Asked whether she, too, might have plans for a family, Chow remained her usual tight-lipped self.

“I like children very much. Since the birth of my nephew, I keep asking my sister to give me new photos to look at every day. I have also helped babysit. But will I be having a baby?

I think everything depends on fate.

You can’t think about it too much.

Imagination and reality are two different things. So let’s wait until it’s time. Let me focus on my work now.”

True to form, Niki Chow enjoys keeping things lowkey.

Boucheron Ricochet 18K白金耳環一對，分別鑲嵌1顆 重0.54卡圓形鑽石和1顆重0.55卡圓形 鑽石，兩枚耳環鑲嵌了10顆共重13.83卡 天然晶石，及密鑲328顆重共8.20卡圓形 鑽石。 These 18-carat white gold earrings are set with round diamonds measuring 0.54 and 0.55 carats. They feature a mosaic of 10 rock crystals weighing a total of 13.83 carats and a pavé setting of 328 round diamonds totalling 8.20 carats.

Boucheron’s annual high jewelry collection is a tribute to its 150 years of superior craftsmanship. From the styling to the selection of natural gemstones, each piece is full of creativity and romanticism.

This year, Boucheron’s collection is based on a brave new concept by Creative Director Claire Choisne and utilizes the fragile, transparent rock crystal. After polishing and setting, the gem resembles the ripples caused by a rock skimming the surface of a pond. The rock crystal, combined with different shapes of diamonds, creates the look of eternal snowflakes and invigorates the look of the relatively mundane white diamond.

玄門正宗德國廠房 位於Glashütte的Glashütte Original廠房是一座十分現代化的 建築物，是品牌於2003年把舊廠房改建而成。甫內進會見到中央 部分設有非常開揚的玻璃天幕，天然光線充沛射入，大堂打掃得 光潔，接近一塵不染的環境大概代表著德國人的嚴謹精神。負責 當我們嚮導的，是Mr. Michael Hammer先生，他年紀輕輕，卻 是一本Glashütte Original的活字典。他先告訴我們，全球約600 名員工中，只有約70人在這裡工作。「有些師傅每天早上6時半上 班，工作到3時半便下班照顧家人，跟你們香港的工作模式很不一 樣。」

9成部分自家製 品牌很強調，每一枚機芯內的零件，有98%零件都是於廠房 內自家生產。至於要外購的，只有游絲、主發條鏈、紅寶石、避 震系統及擒縱輪lever部件。除了零件，品牌連製錶工具也會自己 製造，一來成本較平，二來也能tailor made最精準的零件。也補 充一下，除了心臟機芯，品牌連腕錶的錶盤也不假手於人；多得 Swatch集團收購及注資，在2006年購入了一所錶盤廠，經過重整 改建，於2012年宣布普福爾茨海姆Pforzheim錶盤工場正式投入服 務。

An Original work space Glashütte Original’s factory in Glashütte is a contemporary building redeveloped from the old factory in 2003. An expansive skylight greeted us at the foyer, flooding the interior with natural light. The lobby was sparkling clean – the virtually dust-free environment speaks volumes of the no-nonsense Germanic approach. Our guide, Michael Hammer, is a walking encyclopedia of Glashütte Original, despite his youthful look. He told us that only 70 of the brand’s 600 global employees work here.

“Some start work at 6:30 a.m. and leave at 3:30 p.m. every day to spend time with their families, very much unlike Hong Kong,” he said.

Almost entirely made in-house

採用天然光的廠房大樓，讓人感覺清新開 朗，在這裡專心工作的錶匠一定很認同。 The factory is flooded with natural light, giving off an open and sunny feel, much to the delight of the very focused watchmakers working here.

The brand takes the parts in every caliber very seriously, hence 98 per cent of the parts are made in this factory. The only parts outsourced are balance springs, fusée chains, rubies, shockproof mechanisms and escapement levers. The brand also makes watchmaking tools in-house to keep costs down and to tailormake their high-precision parts. Other than movements, the brand also makes dials in-house. Thanks to the acquisition and investment by the Swatch Group, the brand bought a dial-making factory in 2006 and revamped it into Pforzheim dial factory that began production in 2012.

那條發光的是7-800度高溫切割電線，精準度可達500nm，對 於極精細的零件製作，這機器居功不少。 The illuminated cutting wire, heated to between 700 and 800 degrees, can achieve precision down to 500 nanometres, and is the true hero in making minuscule parts.

有圖有片有實物 這個廠房有一項其他瑞士製錶廠都沒有、但叫我 印象難忘的特色，就是每一個重要的工作房間外，都 設有一個小小陳列櫃，羅列了這房間的製成品，誰造 螺絲，誰打磨基板，誰負責切割擺輪，一目了然。除 此以外，牆壁上更掛上一部小小電視，能播放這房間 內的工作片段，每段短片雖只有大概兩三分鐘，但就 足夠令人了解到每一項製錶程序。我們當然明白，這 些陳設及短片不是給錶匠們看的，它服務的對象只是 賓客及傳媒。短片製作認真，旁述清晰，任何人來到 廠房，只需看看這些陳列品及片段，便能了解一枚機 芯的8成生產過程。

落手落腳燒螺絲 Glashütte Original廠房很有系統，工序包括設計 草圖、製作prototype、切割原材料、電鍍、打磨、修 飾、鑲嵌、測試等。Michael跟我們說，一枚普通機 芯大約要研發兩至四年，但複雜功能的，就非要七年 不可。一般普通機芯，大約有150-180枚部件，會採 用分組式安裝，需時大約8-12小時；複雜一點如大日 曆、計時、power reserve的，便需要約一星期時間裝 嵌。至於超複雜如萬年曆的，則會交到Atelier部門， 由一位高級錶匠完全負責，有時需耗一個月才能完成 一枚。品牌大約有15位錶匠能勝任此職。 我們參觀廠房時，唯一有機會嘗試當錶匠的， 是自行燒製藍鋼螺絲。方法看似相當簡單，就是用小 鉗夾起一粒灰色的鋼螺絲，然後放到一塊攝氏300度 高溫的金屬上，10、9、8、7、6、5……也不知要多 少秒，總之看到螺絲慢慢轉到深藍色，便將它夾走。 過程看似簡單，其實很考眼力和經驗，笨手笨腳的筆 者，不是彈走了螺絲，就是加熱過籠而變成淺藍色。

Visual proof One outstanding feature in this factory that we don’t see in Swiss watchmaking manufacture is the presence of a small display cabinet in each workshop. The display unit shows off the finished products of that workshop and identifies the people to be credited for each task – from making a screw, to polishing a plate, to cutting a balance wheel.

A short clip of two to three minutes is shown on a small TV mounted on the wall of each workshop to illustrate the entire work process in that particular room.

Obviously, these clips are not for the watchmakers, but for visiting guests. The professionally made clips with clear narratives, coupled with the exhibits in the display units, help acquaint every visitor with roughly 80 per cent of the watch movement’s manufacturing process.

Sleeves rolled up Glashütte Original’s factory is operated systematically, with well-defined processes -- from design and product drafts to prototype making, cutting raw materials, plating, polishing, refining, gem-setting and testing. Hammer told us that a regular movement takes between two and four years to research and develop, while a complication will take up to seven years. A simple movement has 150 to 180 parts and takes eight to 12 hours for assembling in groups, whereas complications, such as big date, chronograph or power reserve, take about a week to assemble. Grand complications, such as a perpetual calendar, will be handled personally by a master watchmaker in the Atelier and it will take up to a month to finish. The brand has about 15 such master watchmakers. We tried our hands at making blue steel screws. It seemed simple enough – using small tongs to pick up a grey steel screw, put it on a piece of metal heated to 300 degrees Celsius, wait for it to turn dark blue in counts of several seconds and then remove it from the heat. The challenge lies in experience and the expertise to recognize the right colour. Clumsy me had the screws bouncing all over the place, or the screw overheating and turning a light blue.

由Hermann Goertz親手打造的超複雜座鐘，在入口 大堂歡迎大家。 The Astronomical Art Clock, made by Hermann Goertz, greets visitors near the museum’s entrance.

要通往二樓，必須經過這代表24小時的24級樓梯。 The 24-step spiral staircase, signifying each hour of the day, leads to the second level.

德國鐘錶不可或缺的signature零件——鵝頸微調裝 置，單是形態已經贏盡分數。 The signature part of a German-made watch, the swan-neck fine adjustment, is a winner in appearance alone.

大堂地板上低調地印上了品牌的logo，不浮誇但很有氣勢。 The brand’s logo adorns the foyer floor in a subtle, yet powerful, way.

每間工作坊外都設有零件擺設，以及電視播放工序 片段，闡述內裡工作範疇。 Each workshop has a display of parts and an audio-visual show to illustrate the workshop’s function.

German Watch Museum Glashütte One day is not enough A watch buff can count on taking more than three days of exploring to do justice to Patek Philippe’s museum in Geneva. What about this German Watch Museum in Glashütte? Anyone can spend several engaging days here. The museum’s original building dates back to 1881 and had been a watchmaking school for a century. It survived the carnage of the Second World War, but was closed down in 1992 due to political reforms.

In 2006, Glashütte Original joined hands with Swatch Group and the local government to refurbish and expand the building and turn it into a watch and clock museum. The museum was officially opened in 2008 to celebrate “the magic of time and blending time with life.”

24小時樓梯 博物館樓高兩層，地方相當寬敞，面積超過一千平方米，藏品來自Glashütte當地 不同的腕錶品牌，數目超過450件。踏進博物館，歡迎大家的是一台大大的座鐘，這 (上 )想了解德國機芯特色？扭動一下這個 巨大模型，機芯內裡構造給大家解釋清 楚。(下)德國鐘錶史的 「A-Z」 ，按一個英文 字便顯示相關資料，可惜是以德文編製， 我們不容易明白。 (Up) The enlarged model, when turned, gives visitors an understanding of the inner mechanisms of German watches.

(Down) The A to Z of German watchmaking history is listed here, although in German only.

作品一點不簡單，是由當年鎮內最顯赫製錶師之一的Hermann Goertz親手打造，研發 及製造足足由1842年經歷到1925年；其上半部備有四位數的萬年曆功能，下半部則包 括日出日落、月出月落、月相、星象等功能，複雜程度不惹少。 通往二樓，需要先走上24級旋轉樓梯，氹氹轉而上，代表了一天的24小時。上到 二樓，稱得上是歷史瑰寶。無論是古董懷錶、零件製造、歷史文獻、甚至德國大事回 顧，這裡都鉅細無遺地陳列出來。有心機有時間又帶備足夠乾糧的話，保證你能在這 裡留上兩整天。印象較深刻的，是展品的鋪排以時間為軸，以史事為縱，貫通古今， 將Glashütte城鎮的製錶歷史，緊扣德國當時的經濟及國況，並以歷史大事對照當地製 錶業發展。如二十年代德國的惡性通脹，當時出現了5千萬的紙幣，令腕錶生產商無 所適從；到二次世界大戰，戰火摧毀錶廠，製錶商如何從零開始重整旗鼓；至東西德 一統帶來的新政局，讓不少腕錶品牌再度重新出發，如品牌便由從國營公司轉為私人 企業。 走一遍博物館，大家便能觀摩Glashütte在不同時期製造的懷錶、腕錶、座鐘、航 海鐘以至各種擒縱結構，會對當地的製錶傳統以至德式腕錶都有更深厚的認識。 （www.uhrenmuseumglashuette.com）

24-hour staircase The two-storey museum has more than 1,000 square metres of floorspace and houses more than 450 exhibits sourced from various watch brands in Glashütte. Greeting visitors near the entrance is an imposing and intricate Astronomical Art Clock, hand-made by the town’s most celebrated watchmaker, Hermann Goertz, who worked on this from 1842 to 1925. It features remarkable complications – the top half has a perpetual calendar accurate for thousands of years, and the lower half has indicators for sunrise and sunset, moon rise and moon set, as well as moon phases. 博物館內展示了六十至八十年代由GUB 製造的腕錶作品，這一道「錶牆」是每一 位到來參觀的錶迷必定拍照留念之處。 Displayed in the museum are GUBmade watches from the 1960s to the 1980s. The “watch wall” is the compulsory photo backdrop for all watch enthusiasts visiting the museum.

A spiral staircase with 24 steps leads to the second level, each step denoting an hour of the day. The second level is full of treasures, from antique pocket watches to partsmaking, historical journals and milestone events in German history. Those armed with tenacity, time and sustenance can easily while away two whole days here. The exhibits are displayed in a timeline, marking noteworthy historical events in Germany’s national and economic development, interwoven with Glashütte town’s watchmaking history, hence putting watchmaking into historical context. For example, rampant inflation in Germany in the 1920s brought forth a bank note of 50 million marks, making life impossible for watchmakers.

Many watchmaking plants were destroyed in the Second World War and watchmakers had to start from square one. The reunification of East and West Germany created an environment for many watch brands to change from state-owned to private enterprises and regain their footing in the world.

A trip to this museum in Glashütte will give visitors insights into the various types of timepieces of different eras – from pocket watches to wrist watches, clocks, nautical clocks and different escapement mechanisms.

Visitors leave with a much deeper insight into German watchmaking heritage and German timepieces.www.uhrenmuseumglashuette.com

這座小小儀器，是負責監測齒輪的平衡度；只要在管道內吹出空氣，看看 齒輪是否轉動得順滑平坦。 This small machine checks the evenness of a gear, by blowing air from the tube to ensure the gear is moving smoothly.

實習兼備，品牌還拍心口應承，只要學員能夠通過所有嚴謹考 試，便可以獲得百分百受聘機會。畢業生當中，會有約16位能 躋身製錶師行列，正式投入艱辛、富挑戰而有滿足感的工作；

Talents galore

至於另外約4名學員，則會派往負責製錶工具生產。 採訪當天，製錶學校已經下課，無緣看到一班莘莘學子。 The watchmaking school, without the students, who have already called it a day when we visit.

Moritz Grossmann set up a watchmaking institute to train watchmakers in the 18th century. The existing Alfred Helwig School of Watchmaking, located in the museum building, was rebuilt by Glashütte Original in 2002. Helwig was the long-standing mentor at the school in the early 19th century and he created the floating tourbillon, the pride of the brand.

The school receives more than a hundred applications every year from prospective students, both men and women. However, only 20 are admitted to the three-year, full-time course integrating theories and applications.

The brand also undertakes to hire the course’s graduates after they pass all the stringent examinations. About 16 of the graduates will end up as watchmakers, the remainder assigned to making watchmaking tools.

White is the purest colour. Some people think of it as a non-colour, yet it actually encompasses the entire spectrum of light, so it is also the brightest colour. Thus, by wearing an all-white athletic shoe, one’s feet look completely lit up.

The various models featured on the previous page contain many classic elements.

Mixing the classic with new details is the direction many designers are taking this season.

For instance, the Prada shoe looks commonplace on the upper side. It turns out the focus is actually on the reinforced sole, which is adorned with three-dimensional waves, giving it a fresh new look. The 3.1 Phillip Lim also features a reinforced sole, and has a more substantial body.

For new touches on the upper shoe, we see alligator skin adding texture to an otherwise smooth white shoe, such as with Louis Vuitton and Giuseppe Zanotti. In addition, the perforated look not only adds breathability, but is also a common decorative look.

Designers often add highlights in different areas of the shoe, but in small doses, so as not to overwhelm. The Stan Smith, a collaboration between Raf Simons and Adidas, naturally kept the green on the heel. However, the highlights don’t end there. The tongue on the left foot features a bust of Simons, and that playful touch will surely draw a smile.

Then, there is the Nike Valentino, which features a thick two-toned colour block on the sides.

Even the laces are two-toned to add to the visual beauty and highlight the designer’s detailing.

護白大全

The Key to Staying White 白球鞋的保養功夫比其他顏色多幾倍，這是很多男 人避買的其中一個原因。走起路來戰戰兢兢，生怕那潔 白無瑕的表面沾上污跡。即使平日保養得宜，白色也有 機會因長時間保存而變黃。為延長球鞋的潔白壽命，綜 合坊間方法，總結出六種抗污用品，潔癖症患者大可放 心加入白鞋行列！ 當然，如果你覺得污糟的白鞋更有歷練和質感，那 又另作別論。 Preserving the pristine look of the white tennis shoe requires much more effort than shoes of colour.

This is one reason many men avoid purchasing them..

Even if one takes care to maintain a daily maintenance routine, the white colour can still turn yellow over time.

To help retain its whiteness, we introduce six products.

Of course, if you consider the dirty white shoe more seasoned and textured, then that’s a different story.

Tarrago Nano Protector 預防勝於治療，新鞋買回家應該第一時 間噴上防水防污噴霧。於30厘米的距離 薄薄噴一層，適用於皮革及布料。如碰 到雨水，要抹乾補噴。 Prevention is better than the cure. New shoes should always be sprayed with a water and dirt repellent. Spray a thin layer from about 30 centimetres away. This product can be used on leather or fabric shoes. After exposure to rain, the shoe needs to be wiped dry and another layer of spray applied.

Eraser Lemon 檸檬汁是天然的漂白劑。新鮮的檸檬切開一 半，直接將切開的一面於鞋子污跡上來回擦 拭，讓殘留的汁液覆蓋約十五分鐘，再以冷 水洗去。 Lemon juice is a natural cleanser. Cut a fresh lemon in half and apply the cut surface directly to the soiled area. Leave the juice on the shoe and cover for about 15 minutes. Then rinse with cold water.

適用於細小污跡形成的初期，在平面的地 方使用尤其有效。即使沒沾上任何污跡， 間中也可用於鞋邊的白位作保養，減低日 久變黃的速度。 This product is appropriate for us when a small patch of stain starts to appear.

It is most effective on a flat surface.

Even if there is no visible stain, one can apply the eraser on the white edges on the side of the shoe, to slow down the pace of the yellowing.

Jason Markk shoe cleaner

Toothpaste 對付藏於鞋身車線或者細小隙縫的污跡 時使用，將黃豆大的牙膏擠在牙刷，再 以陰力慢慢擦拭。最好選用有美白成分 的牙膏，更事半功倍。 To attack the dirt hidden in the seams or in small crevices, squeeze a peasized amount of toothpaste onto a toothbrush and brush gently. It is even more effective if you use a whitening toothpaste.

專門針對高級運動鞋款的清潔與保養， 是近期人氣高企的美國品牌。適用於所 有顏色和材質的球鞋，當中98.3%的成 分可被天然分解。 This is an American product that’s enjoying immense popularity. It is specially formulated to clean and preserve luxury brand athletic shoes.

This can be used on shoes of all colours and materials. Its ingredients are 98.3 per cent soluble.

Tarrago Super White 一種補色產品，用以覆蓋清不掉的污跡，效果即時。搖勻後，直接塗於污糟 或泛黃部位，皮革及布料均可使用，是打救白球鞋的最後方法。 This product adds a layer of supplemental colour to cover up stains that cannot be cleaned. It works instantaneously. Shake well and apply directly to areas that are soiled or yellowed. It can be used on both leather and fabric, and can be the last resort to salvaging white shoes.

全國冠軍俱樂部 張晉自小已夢想有日能當上動作巨星，原因是看了李連杰的 《少林寺》 。 「是很自然的事吧，那年代的中國，個個都對功夫痴迷。」 張父也幫忙推一把，將他送到武術學院習武，其時1983年，張晉只 有九歲。當然，九歲之齡始習武，在大陸社會裡算是高齡生，不過 他勝在天資優厚，是骨格精奇那一類，可惜沒恆心。「練了一陣子 已經怕了，教練惡，要求嚴苛，於是溜了回家。後來教練親自來到 我家勸我回學校，覺得我是個可造之材，不應浪費自己，於是我又 重新回去。」 此後張晉的武術大道愈行愈順，十歲拿了區冠軍，十一歲得 了市冠軍，十二歲已是四川省冠軍，僅僅三、四年時間已從業餘成 了專業的競技武術手，他坦言有想過半途而廢的，只是已經不能回 頭。「當我打到這個水平成了國家運動員，這意味著武術已經成為 了我的工作，我吃的、住的、身上穿的運動衫還有生活費等等，都 是國家給我的。」 精通槍、劍、八卦掌的張晉十五歲開始練陳式太極拳和太極 劍，算是武術生涯的轉捩點。「很奇怪，這麼多種功夫，沒有任何 一種能像太極一樣讓我醉心，太極讓我重新熾熱起來，可能我知道 這門功夫可以伴我一世吧。」陳式太極由武術之村陳家溝發跡，承 傳自初代陳王廷的拳術演變，到了第九代由陳發科開宗立派，拳理 以纏絲勁為中心，當中的武學思維更可稱是中國功夫第一。落在填 鴨式的中國武術學院，這套誕於明末清初的無上武學頓成籠中鳥。 「教練會解拳，但不會說得明明白白，我也只能似懂非懂地練，畢 竟武術運動是一種競技項目，在意肢體表現，到底你心裡會不會拳 意？沒有人在乎的。譬如手法為甚麼要一個掌心向上，一個掌心向 下？我年輕時完全不懂，但只要你做到動作要求就有分數。現在回 頭看，不禁想為甚麼打武術打得像體操一樣呢？」 1989年，張晉到了北京，跟陳家溝後人學師，回來後突飛猛 進，他形容： 「就像入了那個世界一樣。」 然後，陳式太極武術就成 了他的天下，他在武術場上的成績亦節節攀升，91年得全國第五、 92年躍至亞軍、93年已是冠軍，加入了全國冠軍俱樂部，隨之以來 的問題是， 「然後呢？」

當武師重新出發 「我深知不能一世留在武術 競技的圈裡，當了國家冠軍之後 其實已有心離隊。之後又待了幾 年，直至1998年，我認識了一 位朋友介紹我入行做電影替身， 第一次就是跟袁祥仁拍《新少林 寺》。」可惜一切並不順利，拍了 一個月後，電影製作把他這一組 人全都裁了。 「這打擊非常之大， 我是決心放棄以往的一切轉行。 國家隊那邊本不想放我走，更聲 言我一走就會把我過往的武術成 績記錄吊銷，抽起我所有的專 業資格。我是走不了回頭路的。」幸好袁祥仁沒有忘記這位熱血小 子，第二部戲又找來張晉，自此成了袁家班其中一將。後來從武師 成了演員，更當起武指，甚至是到荷里活當武指。「有些武師可能

The road to national champion It was his childhood dream to become an action star, having seen Jet Li in Shaolin Temple. “That’s very natural. In those years in China, everyone was crazy about gongfu (kung fu).”

His father gave Zhang a push, enrolling him in a martial arts school at the age of nine in 1983, then already considered over-aged for starting the sport. He had plenty of natural talent and the right build, but lacked perseverance. “I was put off after a short while,” he said. “The coach was intimidating and very harsh. I slipped home. The coach came to my home personally to talk me into going back. He thought I was good material and told me not to waste my talent, so I went back.” Since then, Zhang has had a textbook-perfect journey in wushu – winning the district championship at age 10, city championship at 11 and champion of Sichuan at 12. He progressed from amateur to professional competition within four years. It did cross his mind to drop out halfway through, but there was no going back.

“When I became a martial arts athlete on the national level, it meant wushu had become my career,” he said. “The government was bankrolling me for everything, from food to accommodation, to my tracksuits and all spending money.”

Already an expert in spears, swords and Bagua Zhang by the age of 15, he reached a turning point when he picked up Tai Chi Chuan and Tai Chi Sword. “Strangely, of all different styles of gongfu (kung fu), none captures my imagination like tai chi,” he said. “I was fired up all over again.

Perhaps I already knew then that this style of martial arts would stay with me for life.”

Chen-style tai chi originated in the village of Chenjiagou. It evolved and was passed down by Chen Wangting. It was formally set up as a school of tai chi by the Chen Xueke in the ninth generation. The core of its philosophy is about achieving the strength of winding threads, and its philosophy is deemed as the pinnacle of kung fu. When incorporated into the rigid curriculum of the China Institute of Martial Arts, this superior form of martial art that dated back to the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing dynasty was too restricted to display its full splendour.

“The coach would explain the moves, but not very thoroughly,” Zhang said. “I practised it, half understanding. After all, martial arts competition was more about form than substance. “No one cared whether you got the meaning of that form of art. For example, why should one move had the palm up and another the palm down? I had absolutely no clue in those days. We didn’t need to because we scored as long as the moves meet the criteria. Looking back, I wonder why we did martial art as one would gymnastics.”

In 1989, Zhang went to Beijing to learn from the descendants of Chenjiagou and he made spectacular progress. Since then, Chen-style tai chi has become his world. He then scaled the ranks in competitions, coming fifth in national competition in 1991, then first runner-up in 1992 and finally champion in 1993. Having reached this pinnacle, the natural question was: “What’s next?”

Destined to team up Then came SPL2, and Donnie Yen and Sammo Hung were nowhere to be seen.

Wu Jing picked up the key role, and Zhang was lined up as the budding star. “National treasure” Tony Jaa also appeared: a lineup with plenty of action. Zhang, who plays the prison chief, and Wu, a ragged undercover police officer, appeared together in a movie for the first time, although they had known each other for 30 years. “We were from the same martial arts team,” Zhang said. “He (Wu) moved on to showbiz earlier than me.

I had been his stand-in when he was an actor. When I took on SPL2, I thought, ‘How hard should I fight Wu?’ We both had background on the martial arts team, but alas, we couldn’t make the fight too real.”

In the end, the characters dictated how they would fight. Zhang, as the prison chief, was brutal but swift. Wu was the punching bag, the first time he was on the receiving end in his life. “We all go through certain stages,” Zhang said. “He could get through it, too. I feel I’m very much like him. We are both from the martial art team. We are both husbands and fathers. We were both pompous, but we also had the qualities of athletes. We don’t take a beating lying down. It’s our instinct.” They are of the same age, and Wu took gold at a younger age. Now, Zhang seems to have surged ahead.

There is no telling who is a better fighter. One thing is for sure: Zhang has definitely internalized the philosophy of Nei Jia Quan.

Over time, dark circles and puffiness look revitalized and refreshed. Eye-area contours look strikingly younger, smoother, more sculpted and infused with a look of renewed energy.

A RARE INNOVATION Imbued with revolutionary advances in epigenetic-inspired skincare, including exclusive technology, NEW Re-Nutriv Ultimate Diamond Transformative Energy Eye Creme contains advanced youth-sustaining technologies that help support skin cells’ natural longevity and help slow signs of visible aging by supporting a trio of longevity genes – SIRT-1, SIRT-3 and SIRT-6. By supporting skin cells’ natural activation of these longevity genes, the youth-sustaining technologies help rejuvenate the look of skin and sustain a more youthful appearance. Testing demonstrates that these patent-pending technologies actually help skin increase its natural collagen production by 215 per cent after 72* hours, while advanced lifting technologies help preserve and restore skin’s density. Over time, the eye area appears younger, firmer and more lifted. Dark circles and fine lines are diminished, revealing an essence of beauty. Dermatologist and opthamologist tested. Non-acnegenic. Appropriate for use on eyelids.

NEW Re-Nutriv Ultimate Diamond Transformative Energy Eye Creme will be available mid-September 2015. Price: $275.00 * In vitro testing of youth-sustaining technologies after 72 hours

The porcelain cover of this limited-edition collector’s book is individually kilned, signed and numbered.

陶瓷史詩 Zegeling一直是小陶瓷屋的擁躉，這些小屋的真身其實是一 個「酒瓶」，用作盛荷蘭航空KLM自50年代開始，贈送給頭等艙客 人（現在是商務艙乘客）的一小瓶杜松子酒 (genever)。由於這些藍 白色陶瓷屋(Delftware)並不對外發售，只贈送給尊貴的頭等或商 務艙客人，所以絕對限量，真正罕有，也因此成為收藏家在二手 市場炒賣的項目。 Zegeling為了追尋小屋的故事，花了3年時間，逐一調查、走 訪這批歷年來推出過的103家小屋，詳細地為它們編寫故事。今年 10月， 《Little Kingdom by the Sea》 更會發行coffee-table book 特 別版，9.45 X 13.39 英吋大小的書，每一個書面都是一片獨立燒 製的陶瓷，有齊簽名和獨立編號，全球限量250本，售價300元， 也是值得收藏的項目。

建屋藍圖 Zegeling說這些小屋什麼時候開始由荷航贈送給客人已不 可考，只知道最先的記載是在1957年，當時只有頭等艙客人可 以獲贈，商務艙客人只能獲得一條陶瓷條（像我們墊筷子的如 意吧！）。後來荷航在1994年把頭等艙與商務艙合拼為World Business Class，新例下連本來已經是航班最高級的客人也拿不 到陶瓷屋，商務艙的客人於是群起反對。群情洶湧下，荷航立即 修改政策，讓所有商務艙客人 「飛者有其屋」！ 每年荷航紀念日－10月7日，也是當年新款陶瓷屋 發行的日子。世界各地的收藏家早就訂好這天的商務艙 機票，瞄準難得的新款式出發了。小屋的取材，佔了一 半是首都阿姆斯特丹的歷史文物建築，其餘則是荷蘭各 地具紀念性的建築物。那到底是誰決定哪棟建築物可以 成為模型呢？答案是荷航與杜松子酒供應商Bols輪流決 定。他們除了考慮建築物的背景、歷史意義，也會考慮 建築物的外形、比例是否適合做成細小的模型屋；而有 關兩個大老闆的題材－旅遊和酒的建築，也很受重視， 比如最新一款95號屋，就是喜力Heineken釀酒廠。

直到今年，小陶瓷屋系列已經有95款，當中確有很多有 趣故事，比如47號屋Anne Frank House－《安妮日記》女主角 Anne Frank的博物館，除了安妮一家人在1942至1944年在那 裡度過的日子、故事，Zegeling甚至從建築物是在1631年建 成說起，又找到安妮當年曾經因為單車被偷去，而勇敢地到 納粹德軍領導下的警察局報案，說她懷疑是德國人偷了她的 單車。這段歷史，甚至連安妮基金也沒有記載。

「陶」 氣魔手 Zegeling說，當他第一次看到那些平日很嚴肅的商人或 優雅的女士，拿著小陶瓷屋時童真雀躍的舉動，他就覺得很 神奇。因為神奇而好奇，所以他落力找尋每間小屋背後的軼 事，而且越找越覺得有趣味。 限量陶瓷封面版，將於10月在littlekingdombythesea. com發售，售價$300，普通袋裝現在有售，售價$30。

The Houses Every year, on its Oct. 7 anniversary, the airline releases a new design. Avid collectors would reserve a business-class seat on this day, just to be the first ones to own the latest piece. More than half of the pieces are modelled after landmarks in Amsterdam, but notable architecture from other towns in Holland is represented as well. The selection process is quite secretive: airline executives and the liquor supplier, Bols, are said to take turns making the choice.

To date, 95 houses have been released. Many of them are tied to notable figures and historical events. For example, #47 is the house where Anne Frank wrote her account of life in the Nazi-occupied Netherlands between 1942 and 1944. Zegeling’s research unveiled a story about how the brave young girl went to the police when she suspected that her bicycle had been stolen by the Germans. This is a bit of history that even the fabled Anne Frank Foundation was not aware of. House #96 is Heineken’s brewhouse,

and the author tells the tale of a persistent Gerard Adriaan Heineken, who founded a small familyrun, beer-making business that went on to become the third-largest brewery in the world.

Zegeling’s passion for history is behind each house and has helped unearth many a stirring tale, lending colour and heft to the blue-andwhite collectibles.

作者Mark Zegeling 早前來 到多倫多宣傳他的L i t t l e Kingdom by the Sea；明 年他將到日本和中國，發 行這兩國語言的新譯本。

The Royal Palace is an extra-special piece that was presented to honeymooners flying first class on KLM in 1986.

The Collector’s Edition

荷蘭陶瓷屋與中國的淵源 荷般的藍白色陶瓷屋，以荷蘭傳統陶瓷工藝代夫特 （delft） 製作。Delft是 荷蘭一個城市，在17世紀起，市內興起以手繪藍白色為主調的瓷器，被 稱為delft blue。 這種陶藝與中國的青花瓷很相似，其實不是偶然的，別忘記荷蘭是歐洲 其中一個 「世界探索者」 先驅，探索者看到中國的青花瓷後深深著迷，希 望在自己的土地上也能生產。可惜，在荷蘭找不到與青花瓷相同的陶 泥，代夫特的陶泥已經是最相近的了。 全盛時期，代夫特有33家陶瓷廠，但現時只剩一家。隨著收藏家越來越 多，荷航為了應付需求，1995年放棄在荷蘭Delft的製作，轉投香港的 工場生產，名稱也由Delft Blue變成Blue Delft。現時荷航每年送出85至 100萬間小屋，生產線已搬到中國去。但小瓷屋的價值會因而降低嗎？ Zegeling說： 「不，代夫特的技術本來就是來自中國，如今只是 ‘coming home again’ 。」

In addition to the regular release, there are eight exclusive pieces as part of the collector’s edition. The first of this series was issued in 1962 to commemorate Frans Hals, the Dutch Golden Age portrait painter who lived and worked in Haarlem. Subsequent releases include the Royal Palace in Amsterdam and the Weighing House at the Gouda cheese market, both treasured Dutch landmarks.

The value of the collector’s edition lies not just in the sentimental significance of the buildings, but with the stringent qualifying criteria.

The Royal Palace piece, released in 1986, was only presented to honeymooners travelling in first class. Collector’s edition #8 – Paleis Het Loo (The Woods Palace) – is only awarded to those who have flown World Business Class at least 60 times a year for 10 consecutive

Delft Blue and China Blue The blue-and-white colouring of Delft Blue ware bears a strong resemblance to traditional blue-and-white China porcelain. This similarity is, in no way, coincidental. The Dutch were among the first European explorers to China, and they were mesmerized by the beauty of the porcelain. To their dismay, they did not have the same type of clay in the Netherlands, but they found that the clay in Delft allowed them to closely imitate the style.

In its heyday, there were 33 earthenware factories in Delft.

Now, only one remains. When KLM merged its top two tiers into World Business Class in 1993, demand for the little houses skyrocketed, and that factory could not produce them fast enough. As a result, production moved to Hong Kong and China, where they churn out 850,000 to 1,000,000 pieces each year. When asked if this would devalue the houses, author Mark Zegeling responded with a resounding no.

“The technique came from China in the first place. It is like a homecoming for Delft Blue ware!”

standard classical repertoire was written during the Renaissance and Baroque eras. At its height, Baroque music was particularly popular in Italy, Germany, England and France.

In the late 18th century, the harpsichord was supplanted by the piano and almost disappeared from view for most of the 19th century. But in the 20th century, it made a surprising resurgence in popularity that peaked in the 1980s. It is currently being used in historically informed performances of older music and occasionally incorporated in contemporary compositions and pop music.There is definitely a renewed interest in harpsichords and the elegant music of “The baroque”. But the traditional harpsichord builder or artisan is now a rare breed in the tide of mass-produced, cookie-cutter products and synthetic conformity.

HARPSICHORD ARTISAN: A RARE BREED Today, there are only four known harpsichord makers in the U.S. and Europe (mostly in Paris) and only two in Canada. EliteGen tracked down one such man, who lovingly continues the almost lost art into the 21th century in his West Vancouver workshop. That man is Craig Tomlinson, a true artisan who’s committed to doing things the old-fashioned way. The harpsichords he produces combine a careful balance between the tonal intricacies, perfectly working mechanics sensitive to the player’s touch and the refined baroque decoration. They are among the very finest keyboard instruments available in the world today. His designs come from French, Flemish, Italian and German schools of harpsichord-making. His building techniques are based on meticulous research, conducted by some of the greatest museums and private collections in Europe.

Tomlinson’s valuable instruments can be found in concert halls and private homes alike, and are used by many of the world’s top

TOMLINSON’S HARPSICHORDS ARE COMPLETELY HANDMADE When asked by EliteGen why his harpsichords are highly acclaimed and in much demand, Tomlinson replied with pride: “All my instruments are completely handmade. I handpick only the best-seasoned timbers of yellow polar, German spruce, Swiss pear, Italian cypress and European beech from overseas sources. The decoration includes rare wood, such as ebony or boxwood, used on the keyboards, hand-painted designs on the soundboards and sumptuous 22-karat gold leaf on the cases.

時光倒流300年

Travelling 300 Years Back in Time

先說個簡短故事，讓這個300年的倒流時光有個座標：1715年，有個叫 Jean Martell的年輕人展開了一趟並不尋常的旅程，他從家鄉英屬的一個 Jersey小島走到法國干邑區，拓展了當時還有待開發的干邑事業……如 今，他這趟旅程所創立的，已是世界數一數二的最大干邑家族。 Let’s start with a short story to put this three-century time travel into context. In 1715, a young man named Jean Martel started an unusual journey. He travelled from his home on the British Isle of Jersey to the Cognac region of France where he began a career in cognac production. Today, the business he started with his journey is one of the largest cognac families in the world. text | Ivan Wong

Martell Premium Voyage 限量300瓶，建議零售價 為萬多元。 Production of Martell Premium Voyage was limited to 300 bottles, with a suggested retail price of around $10,000.

The word “voyage” has significant meaning to Martell’s life in cognac.

To him, cognac was his ultimate epic adventure, and his business was built on overseas sales, especially to Britain. Thus, to celebrate Martell’s 300th anniversary, the company made 300 bottles of a limited-edition product and aptly named it Martell Premium Voyage.

This production was not at all based on old trite concepts. The company did not merely dig up aged eau-de-vie carefully stored over the years from the wine cellar for blending. Rather, Cellar Master Benoît Fil said he wanted to make a product that would cross both time and space and convey the taste and feel of the glorious 300-year history of Martell.

我正身處於CuisinArt Golf and Spa Resort的Tokyo Bay Restaurant之中。這所與海濱為鄰的五星級豪華度假酒店，位於 東加勒比聖馬丁島(St. Maarten)以北的島嶼安圭拉(Anguilla)，這 個島的形狀與饅魚十分相似 。安圭拉於2014年12月打敗強勁對手 如St. Bart’ s、馬爾代夫(Maldives)及毛里裘斯( Mauritius)等，獲世 界旅遊雜誌評選為全球最豪華的度假島嶼。島上擁有過百間餐廳 以及國際認可的餐飲組織，讓安圭拉成為加勒比的美食首都。

傳統與加勒比元素的完美結合 成為島上首間正宗日本餐廳，令Tokyo Bay引以為傲，不過餐 廳卻由非日本廚師主理。雖知道，刺身及壽司本身就是料理的藝 術，有些餐廳以為將魚生擺放得精緻就是正宗，這是大錯特錯。 但大家可以放心，此等事在Tokyo Bay絕對不會發生。 I am at the Tokyo Bay Restaurant inside CuisinArt Golf and Spa Resort, a five-star beachfront luxury resort located in Anguilla, an eel-shaped (or shall we say unagi-shaped?) island just north of St. Maarten in the eastern Caribbean. It was voted the World’s Leading Luxury Island Destination by World Travel Awards in December 2014, beating other top-tier candidates such as St. Bart’s, Maldives and Mauritius. With more than 100 restaurants and an internationally recognized culinary community, Anguilla is reputed to be the culinary capital of the Caribbean.

Steeped in tradition, spiced with a Caribbean touch The Tokyo Bay prides itself as the first authentic Japanese restaurant on the island, but I have my reservations about Japanese restaurants run by non-Japanese chefs. Sashimi and sushi are high gastronomic arts, and I am wary of restaurants that think serving any slice of raw fish in a fancy manner makes them authentic Japanese.

Such is not the case with Tokyo Bay.

Fresh is the operative word here. In fact, in an almost obsessive pursuit of fresh ingredients, the resort built an 18,000-square-foot greenhouse and hired world-renowned hydroponic expert Dr. Howard Resh to help manage an indoor farm capable of growing vegetables, edible flowers and herbs all season, regardless of outside weather conditions. This sets the bar for all of the Caribbean, because as a region of isolated islands, produce must be imported.

What’s best: The Cayenne lineup includes seven different variants, including the GTS, which may offer the best combination of performance and panache.

What’s worst: The price can easily creep up when you start adding options. Our tester started at $108,200 and ended at $124,285 when options and delivery were added.

What’s interesting: There is a huge price difference between the entry-level Cayenne ($67,400) and the top-end Turbo S ($178,100).

音樂藝術盒

Artsy music box text | Ringo

與其說這是一座悠揚樂韻的音樂盒，我倒認為它是一件珍藏藝術品。 This music box is not just about playing melodies. It is more like collectible art. 如是鐘錶愛好者，不會對MB&F這名字感到陌生，但近年拓展到設計界、音樂界，都會對 其創辦人Maximilian Busser投下萬二個好奇心。Max無疑是一個很出色的設計師，他天馬行 空、他無遠弗屆、他實行能力極強，就是要你猜不透。不信的話，上網google一下他的作品 吧。他如此厲害，是因為他童心未泯，品牌創立十年以來，秉承的宗旨就是"A creative adult is a child who survived"（大意是：富有創意的大人，內心都活著一個純真小孩）。 MusicMachine 3是音樂盒的第三代作品了，上兩代都離不開科幻設計，十周年紀念作也是 以星球大戰內的TIE Fighters作設計靈感，而合作的夥伴，是音樂盒製作專家Regue，以及結他 MM3尺寸為400×340×280mm，重6kg， 有黑、白及銀色鉻特別版，每款限量生產33 件。 MM3, in dimensions of 400x340x280mm, weighs 6kg and is limited to 33 pieces in each of the three collections in black, white or chrome finishes.

殿堂製作公司JMC Lutherie。音樂盒，不，這座藝術盒的尾翼有兩組獨立機芯，它們都有造型 像推進器的上鏈裝置以及發條盒，之後把動力傳給兩支水平突針滾軸，滾軸上的突針最後透過 72枚梳齒的撥動，彈奏出動人的旋律。我們之所以美譽它為藝術品，是因為MM3的音波，會隨 著兩個精心設計的垂直側翼，傳送到中央的共鳴基座；而這個把音量放大的共鳴基座更是不得 了，它的材料源自瑞士理蘇森林裡的350年老雲杉木，將它跟最先進的蜂巢結構Kevlar複合，便 成為一種絕佳的共振纖維材質。

Watch enthusiasts already know MB&F very well. In recent years, even designers and musicians have become intrigued by its founder, Maximilian Busser. A brilliant designer, Busser thinks outside the box, reaches far and wide and is a force to reckon with in realizing his visions. That’s him – someone that keeps you guessing. Google his work and see for yourself. He is who he is because he maintains a child-like curiosity, going by his belief that “a creative adult is a child who survived” in the decade since establishing the brand. MusicMachine 3 is his third-generation music box. Sticking with the sci-fi feel of the previous two generations, the 10th anniversary special, created in partnership with music box specialist Reuge and celebrated guitar manufacturer JMC Lutherie, is inspired by TIE Fighters of Star Wars. This music box, or shall we say art box, is powered by two independent movements mounted on the two tail sections. Each movement has its own thruster-like winding key and a mainspring barrel that transfers energy to the horizontal cylinder with pins, and a comb with 72 hand-tuned teeth sounding each note when brushing the pins to produce melodies.

We call this a piece of art work because the sound vibrations of the melodies is propagated through the lattice-like vertical wings down the combs to the naturally amplifying resonant base, made of 350-year-old resonance spruce from the Risoud Forest in Switzerland and modern composite materials, like honeycomb Kevlar -- a combination that produces the ultimate resonance.
