NATURE’S BOUNTY 自然的赞歌 Often the most sensational food is the simplest. Just ask Nobuyuki “Nobu” Matsuhisa. The Japanese masterchef’s dance with raw perfection was born of fresh produce and observation. As he tells Pat Nourse, “In Japan, sashimi was only [served] with soy sauce and wasabi, but when I went to Peru they ate their fish with lemon and lime juice, so my experience there changed the way I thought about food.”

There is no other seafood that captures the imagination and polarises the palate as does the oyster. In this issue we celebrate Australia’s “three kings”: the Sydney rock, the Pacific and the Angassi oysters and learn how three of Crown’s chefs like to eat them. Commitment to making the best shines through several fields of endeavour in this month’s Crystal. There are the dream weavers who labour over Panama hats, jewellers who wave a magic wand over diamonds and pearls, and fit-out experts who make private planes feel like the ultimate status symbol they are. We do the wine tasting for you (tough job, but somebody has to do it), and arrive at the regional picks that should be in your cellar. Speaking of which, wait till you see what’s behind the doors of Crown’s VIP cellar…

PANAMA 优雅冠冕

Popular with heads of state, Hollywood movie stars, supermodels and royalty, a real Panama hat is a work of art. ROFF SMITH follows the process from the South American jungle to its finishing touches in Hawaii.

巴拿马草帽备受国家元首、好莱坞电影明星、超模以至皇室追捧。一顶真正的巴拿马草帽，有如一件艺术杰作。本文作者 ROFF SMITH 追踪帽子的诞生过程，由南美洲丛林取材开始，经过多重精细巧妙的工序，最后交由夏威夷工艺师完美修饰。

THE JUNGLE IS HOT, CLOSE AND DAMP, WITH HOWLER MONKEYS HOOTING IN THE TREES AND MOSQUITOES HUMMING. THE NIGHT RAINS HAVE MADE THE TRAIL LITTLE BETTER THAN A MUDDY STREAM BED. MACHETE IN HAND, SIMÓN ESPINAL PICKS HIS WAY UP THE SLOPE, USING THE GNARLED ROOTS OF TREES AS STEPS.

24 CRYSTAL JUNE 2016

of prospectors picked up the nifty straw “Panama” hats that could be rolled up and tucked into a pocket as they passed through Panama on their way to ’Frisco. Alfaro had more luck on his side. At the Paris Exposition in 1855, a Frenchman who had been living in Panama presented Napoleon III with a hat. The Emperor loved it and Panama hats were suddenly the latest thing for the rich and famous. They remained so for the better part of a century. Banker JP Morgan and King Edward VII were aficionados. US President Teddy Roosevelt wore one when he inspected the Panama Canal. Al Capone loved them. So did Hollywood. From the antebellum South in Gone with the Wind to the cafés of Casablanca, Panamas were a mark of worldly distinction. But while all genuine Panama hats come from Ecuador, very few come from Montecristi. Cuenca, an old Spanish colonial town in the Andes, produces Panama hats for the masses. True Montecristi Panamas are generally found only in specialist hat dealers. Genuine super finos are much rarer.

ESPINAL’S HIKE INTO THE JUNGLE yields 14kg of cogollos, as the metre-long shoots of the toquilla palm are known. Once back in his village of Pile, he’ll spend the next few days preparing the toquilla straw: husking the cogollos, endlessly splitting the fibres into finer and finer strands, then dunking them briefly in boiling water, and drying the tallos – the bunches of straw – out of the direct sunlight. Next the straw is gently smoked – several times – in rough wooden homemade smokers made of old crates, and sulphur fumes are used to impart the desired antique ivory tone. Afterwards, the weaver will select, strand by strand, hundreds of straws needed for a hat, matching each for colour, tone and size. He’ll take eight of these threadlike strands and form a cross – the cruzado – at the centre of the crown, the first of the almost 500,000 weaves that will create a super fino. Over the coming weeks, the Panama will grow fractions of an inch at a time, until the crown is fully woven and placed on a hat-shaped block of caco wood. Then the freshly woven

In fine South American tradition, he’s in search of treasure – in this case, a particular species of rainforest palm, carludovica palmata. It’s an attractive plant, about four metres high with fan-shaped fronds. Locals call it the toquilla palm. It’s the immature shoots of the plant that Espinal is after. When broken open they reveal a mass of greenish-white fibres that, with the alchemy of human ingenuity and skill, can be fashioned into a work of art worth many times its weight in gold: a Panama hat. Espinal is a hat weaver, one of only a handful left capable of turning out a true Montecristi super fino; who can weave hats so fine it takes a magnifying glass to count the rows; silky fine masterpieces whose creamy-white fabric contains more than 2000 weaves per square inch. Espinal, 47, is considered the greatest living hat weaver. His finest hat, completed last year, averaged just over 4000 weaves per square inch. Seen through a magnifying glass they look like many rows of neat, tight, flawless diamonds, executed in the traditional liso (herringbone) weave favoured by the artisans of Montecristi. It can take him up to four months to weave a single hat. And each of them begins like this, with a long walk into the Ecuadorian jungle. Yes, Ecuador. “Panama” hats are not made in Panama. Never have been. They are Ecuadorian, originally from the steamy lowlands along the coast – near Montecristi, a small town about 144km up the coast from Guayaquil – where locals have been weaving fine straw hats for centuries – known as sombreros de paja toquilla or “hats made of toquilla straw”. The hats didn’t acquire their curious misnomer until the 1830s, thanks to the entrepreneurial Manuel Alfaro, a 39-yearold former Spanish military officer who arrived in Ecuador in 1835. He settled in Montecristi where he saw commercial potential for the fine straw hats the locals were weaving. He set up straw plantations and a network of weavers to ensure a regular supply of hats and shipped thousands to the busy seaports on the Isthmus of Panama. In 1848, gold was discovered in California and almost overnight, thousands

THE PROCESS 精工编织

fabric starts to spread down the side. It is painstaking work. The caco block is perched on a stand and the weavers work hunched over it, in an awkward position that ensures as little contact as possible with the delicate fabric. At the end of each session, a clean muslin cloth is wrapped around the work to protect it from spills or dust. More weeks pass and then another turn, outward this time, to start forming the brim. Espinal weaves five days a week, starting early in the morning when the humidity is highest and the straw easiest to work. Saturdays he spends selecting straw he’ll use during the coming week. What does he think about during the hundreds of hours of weaving? “Nothing,” he says. “I can’t allow my mind to wander for a second.” What does he feel when the hat is complete? He smiles. “Relief.”

THE NEXT PHASE of a Montecristi starts in Montecristi

itself, a two-hour ride from Espinal’s village. The hat will pass through the hands of artisans bearing grandiloquent titles – rematador, azocador, cortador, apaleador, planchador – lending the hat making something of the formality of the bullring. The rematador is the specialist weaver who performs the elaborate back weave to seal the edge of the brim. The azocador tightens the back weave. The cortador trims away the excess straw, and washes and bleaches the hat. Then it passes to the apaleador, who pounds the hat with a hardwood mallet to soften the straw, making it more flexible. Pound too hard and the hat will be ruined; too gently and the job won’t get done. The hat is returned to the cortador who gives it the closest of shaves with a razor. Finally it goes to the planchador who presses it with an old-fashioned iron to firm up the straw so that it will hold its shape when the blocker moulds it into the desired style.

FEW PEOPLE POSSESS THE SKILL to hand-block a fine Panama hat. One of those is Brent Black. A former creative director in a US advertising firm, Black gave away his career nearly 30 years ago after falling in love with the traditions of Montecristi Panama hats. He tracked down some old-timers who could teach him the art of hat-blocking, mastered it, and has been in the Panama hat trade ever since. Black has devoted a great deal of time and money to preserve this dying art, founding a weaving school in the village of Pile where master weavers such as Espinal can pass on their skills, and where weavers can receive fair compensation for their efforts. Black represents the weavers as an art dealer would an artist, giving them commissions based on the final sale price – which in Espinal’s case can be up to US$25,000 (A$36,000). Black’s own part in the process is the finale, the sculpting of the unformed hat body into the styles recognised as Panama hats: fedoras, optimos, Monte Carlos, plantations. Handblocking fine straw hats is a laborious, intricate task involving wooden blocks, quirky old-fashioned hatter’s implements, sweat, steam, a tailor’s tape and a discerning eye. No glues or stiffeners are used to help the hats hold their shape, just the architecture of the straw itself. Everything is done by hand. Like the weavers in Ecuador, Black works from home, in his case an old two-bedroom bungalow on a side-street on the outskirts of Kailua, in Hawaii. Once he has finished blocking a hat, he takes it to a Japanese seamstress who executes the final touch – sewing on a silk ribbon or leather hatband. Finally, it goes into a box and takes a short ride in the back of Black’s old Volvo Estate to the local FedEx depot where it sets off on its final journey, often to some of the world’s most glamorous addresses. ●

THE PRODUCT

完美成品

走入闷热潮湿的丛林，这一边传来猴子在林间叫嚣的声音，另一边则有蚊子嗡嗡作响。昨晚下了一场雨使山路更湿滑，实在寸步难行，感觉有如踏进满是泥泞的河床。但织帽工匠西蒙．埃斯皮纳尔没有停下脚步，他把树根当阶梯，手持镰刀一步步往上走。埃斯皮纳尔此行目的，是寻找南美洲一种传统瑰宝，那就是一种生长于雨林的棕榈科植物，名为巴拿马草。它高约四米，叶子如张开的折扇，当地人称之为托奎拉草。埃斯皮纳尔采集它的嫩芽，把嫩芽撕开会看见带淡绿偏白色的纤维，经过重重精细的工序，纤维就会变成一件价值连城的艺术精品─ ─巴拿马草帽。埃斯皮纳尔是制帽匠，他是少数能够编出蒙特克里斯蒂“超级精致”草帽的大师。他的手工极精巧细致，若想知道帽子上编织的行数，必须使用放大镜才能细数。一顶柔滑如丝的奶白色草帽每平方英寸的编织次数平均超过2,000次，名副其实巧夺天工。技艺超凡的埃斯皮纳尔深得同业尊敬，今年47岁的他，被誉为现今最伟大的制帽匠。去年他用蒙特克里斯蒂工匠锺爱的传统人字编织法，编出一顶登峰造极之作。帽子上每平方英寸的编织次数平均达到4,000多次，在放大镜下就像一行一行完美无瑕的钻石整齐丶紧凑地排在一起。埃斯皮纳尔编织一顶草帽要耗上四个月，而制帽的第一步就是深入厄瓜多尔丛林寻找巴拿马草。其实，巴拿马草帽并非在巴拿马制造，它是厄瓜多尔的产品，起源于邻近蒙特克里斯蒂沿岸的潮湿低地。蒙特克里斯蒂是一个小镇，位于港口城市瓜亚基尔北面约144公里，当地人在数个世纪之前已经开始编织草帽，称为“以托奎拉草编织的帽子”。这种帽子被误称为巴拿马草帽的原因，与1830年代企业家曼努埃尔．阿尔法罗有关。1835年，39岁的他从西班牙退伍来到厄瓜多尔的蒙特克里斯蒂定居。他发现当地人织造的草帽极具商业价值，决定大量生产。为确保供应稳定，他兴建草园并与织帽匠紧密联系，然后把数以千计制成品运往巴拿马地峡的港口出售。1848年加州发现黄金，大批涌往三藩市的淘金者途中经过巴拿马时，顺道买下这顶可以卷起来放进口袋的草帽，因而被误称为巴拿马草帽。阿尔法罗好像交上了好运。1855年巴黎世界博览会上，一位曾经旅居巴拿马的法国人向拿破仑三世献上一顶巴拿马草帽。拿

破仑三世对它爱不释手，顿时在上流社会掀起一股潮流，富翁名人都视它为时尚饰物。帽子热潮持续了大半个世纪，无论是银行家约翰．皮尔庞特．摩根，以至英国国皇爱德华七世都爱上它。美国总统西奥多．罗斯福甚至戴着这款帽子视察巴拿马运河建设工程。它也是美国黑帮教父阿尔．卡彭的心头好。好莱坞电影中也不时找到它的踪影，由《乱世佳人》的南方场景以至《北非谍影》的咖啡馆，巴拿马草帽均以象徵财富的姿态亮相。凡是在厄瓜多尔生产的，都算是巴拿马草帽，在安第斯地区前西班牙殖民城市昆卡制造的草帽是大众化货色，相比之下蒙特克里斯蒂的产量极稀少。若想拥有一顶蒙特克里斯蒂出产的巴拿马草帽，就要向专门的帽商洽购，而“超级精致”的草帽更加难求。埃斯皮纳尔这次深入丛林，收集了14公斤长度达到一米的托奎拉嫩芽。回到村庄后，他就要花上几天时间准备制造草帽。首先剥去托奎拉嫩芽的外层，将里面的纤维撕成一缕缕幼细的条子，然后把它们捆起来，放进沸水泡一下，之后置于没有阳光直射的地方风干。下一步是把风干后的幼草放进用旧木箱制造的炉，微微烟熏数次，含硫磺的烟使幼草沾上富古典风格的象牙色调。幼草的处理程序完成后，帽匠逐一筛选，最后选出数百缕颜色和粗幼都最相近的进行编织。首先用八缕幼草织成“十字”纹的冠顶，然后往下编，“超级精致”草帽约要编500,000次。接下来几周，编好的幅面一寸又一寸的增加。当头冠编好之后，便置于用卡高木制造的模子上，并展开另一个非常艰巨的步骤，就是编织头冠下面的帽身。此时，帽匠向前弯下身子，双手伸到另一边开始编织帽身，避免与已织好的幅面接触，因为幅面结构此时仍然脆弱。帽匠休息时，会以干净的棉布包着未完成的帽子，避免被尘埃沾污。织了数周之后，又进入另一个阶段，就是开始编织帽边。从星期一至星期五，埃斯皮纳尔都是由大清早就开始工作，因为此时湿度是全日最高，幼草比较容易处理。到了星期六他就会挑选幼草，以备下一个星期使用。一顶帽子要花上数百小时编织，这段时间他脑海里想什么？他说：“什么也不想，我不会容许自己分散注意力，一秒钟也不会。”问他当帽子完成后感觉如何，他微笑说：“如释重负。” 制作蒙特克里斯蒂“超级精致”草帽的下一个步骤，正正就在蒙特克里斯蒂小镇进行。埃斯皮纳尔从他居住的派勒小村落出发，经过约两小时的车程抵达该镇，将未加修饰的帽子雏型送交其他工艺师跟进。他们的职称分别是rematador丶azocador丶cortador丶 apaleador及planchador，这些名称源自斗牛活动，反映制造草帽的工序与斗牛场上的仪式一样严谨。 Rematador的工作是用复杂的背织法缝合帽边；azocador则负责收紧帽边；接下来cortador除去多出来的幼草，并清洗及漂白帽子；之后就交给apaleador用实木槌子敲打帽子，目的是令幼草更柔软及富有弹性。这个工序不易掌握，若然敲打的力度过猛会损坏帽子，太轻力却又无法达到目的；接下来帽子回到cortador手上再修剪一次；最后交给planchador用旧式熨斗压熨幼草令幼草更结实，好让定形师之後为帽子塑造的造型能够保持不变。懂得巴拿马草帽人手定形技术的人十分少，布伦特．布莱克是其中之一。他深深爱慕巴拿马草帽的传统制作技巧，约30年前毅然辞去美国一家广告公司的创作总监职位，放弃高薪厚职，到蒙特克里斯蒂寻师学艺，获一些老工匠传授帽子定形技巧，自此一直从事制造及买卖巴拿马草帽。为了保存这门面临失传的手艺，布莱克投放了许多时间及大量资金，在派勒村成立了一间编织学校，聘请埃斯皮纳尔等大师向学生传授织帽工艺，并保证帽匠会获得公平的待遇。此外布莱克还代表帽匠们出售成品，就像艺术品商人代表艺术家一样，然后按帽子售出的金额向他们分红。以埃斯皮纳尔的作品为例，他可以获得高达25,000美元（36,000澳元）的报酬。至于布莱克自己负责的是最后一个工序，就是用人手将未定形的帽子塑造成不同风格的巴拿马草帽，当中包括fedora丶optimo丶蒙地卡罗，以及阔边的农庄帽款式。以人手为草帽定形是一项劳心劳力的艰苦工序，需要使用木制定形模丶旧式的制帽工具，此外还要用上裁缝尺，除了汗水丶精力以外，也要有很好的眼力。要令帽子不变形，无须使用胶水或任何加固材料，只是依靠幼草本身的结构，一切都以人手整合。布莱克和厄瓜多尔的帽匠一样在家工作，只是他的家远在美国夏威夷凯卢阿市郊一间平房。当他完成定形工序后，便将帽子交给一位日本裔女裁缝师，由她为帽子缝上丝带或皮制帽带。最后帽子被放进盒子内，安放于布莱克的座驾上，驶过一小段路程，来到当地的联邦快递收件处，展开它最后的旅程，而目的地通常是世界各地名人富豪的住所。● JUNE 2016 CRYSTAL

“

f I met the younger Nobu, setting out at the beginning of his career 40 years ago, I’d tell him to chase his dreams. I’d tell him not to give up, and I’d tell him that mistakes are okay – they’re how you learn in life. I’d say keep at it, don’t try to do things too fast, but instead take the time to master things one by one. Don’t skip any step of the process. Have patience. Whatever your profession, don’t look for the easy way, look for the more difficult way. I now have 32 Nobus, three Nobu hotels; and my flagship restaurant, Matsuhisa in Beverly Hills, now has seven other Matsuhisas. I have three more hotels coming this year: Saudi Arabia, Miami and London. My customers are international. We had 140 people in the restaurant here in Melbourne last night for a saké dinner, and when I was doing a book signing afterwards, almost everyone I spoke to brought up an experience they’d had eating with us at one of our other restaurants – in London, in New York, in LA. I have lived in Peru, Argentina then Alaska, then Los Angeles, where I’ve been for more than 35 years now. My family is there. But I was born in Japan, so I feel like I have two different countries. It’s very difficult for me to say which one is more me. But I dream in Japanese. I don’t consider myself a rule-breaker by nature; I just don’t want to waste anything. I’m 67, I’m experienced, and I know how to cook, so I like to try cooking in different ways. In Japan, sashimi was only [served] with soy sauce and wasabi, but when I went to Peru, they ate their fish with lemon and lime juice, so my experience there changed the way I thought about food. I had a tough time with my restaurants in Peru, but my cooking would be completely different if I had never been to South America. Peruvian food inspired me a lot – not to break the rules, but to understand different cultures. I opened my first restaurant in Japan in 1999, but we’d done promotional dinners before that, using cilantro [coriander], rocoto chillies and other Peruvian ingredients, and people told me ‘this isn’t Japanese food’. Japan is very traditional. But now flavours such as jalapeños and dishes including ceviche and tiradito have become fashionable. I don’t want to call what I do fusion; I like to call it the Nobu style. It’s personal. It’s the sum of my experiences. Peru, of course, was very important. Living in Anchorage in Alaska, however, exposed me to different fish such as the black cod and king crab. I like to use local product as much as possible. This is the Nobu style. Customers come to Nobu because they trust our quality. We buy our fish every morning and we always use it by the next day. I’m still cooking, still trying new things. The last thing I came up with was dried miso. In the past 10 or 15 years, chefs have been talking a lot about umami – the glutamate compounds that make a lot of food taste good. In Japanese cooking, the umami usually comes from seaweed, soy sauce and miso. I created dry miso – drying it concentrates the umami. I’ve been using it for the past six or seven years now, and I use it to season a lot of my food. I think it works beautifully on sashimi – the white fish, salmon. It’s also really good in a kohlrabi salad and on grilled meats. ●

Signature dishes 招牌料理 BLACK COD MISO 味噌黑鳕鱼 “The first dish on the Nobu menu that I created was grilled black cod marinated in miso, saké and mirin. It’s my take on a traditional Japanese dish. Marinating fish, curing it, was a way of extending its life a day or two longer before the invention of refrigeration. I’d discovered black cod in Alaska. It was cheap and very soft. When I was making sushi every day, I’d noticed American people liked their fish soft. Marinating it in miso then grilling it was a success.” 我为Nobu创作的首道菜式是先用味噌、清酒和味醂腌泡的烤黑鳕鱼，我用个人风格演绎了这道传统日本菜。在冰箱面世前，人们会腌泡鱼类，因为可以多保存一至两天。我在阿拉斯加看到便宜、肉质嫩滑的黑鳕鱼。当我每天都要做寿司时，发现美国人喜欢软滑的鱼，用味噌腌泡黑鳕鱼後再烧烤的做法很成功。

如果让我回到40年前，遇上年纪轻经、刚开展烹饪事业的信幸，我会鼓励他追逐自己的梦想，不要放弃，即使犯错也没问题，毕竟我们都是从错误中学习。我也会勉励他要不断努力，但不能操之过急，应慢慢把事情一件件做好，别跳过任何步骤，要有耐性。无论从事任何职业，都应舍易取难。现在我有32家Nobu餐厅及三间Nobu酒店，在比华利山的Matsuhisa旗舰店也开了七家分店。今年我有三间新酒店开业，分别位于沙特阿拉伯、迈阿密和伦敦。我的顾客来自世界各地，昨晚有140位宾客出席在墨尔本的清酒晚宴，晚宴后我为著作举行签名会并与宾客聊天，当中几乎所有人都曾经到我们的餐厅用膳，包括在伦敦、纽约和洛杉矶，他们愉快地和我分享这些用餐体验。我先后在秘鲁、阿根廷和阿拉斯加生活，然后在洛杉矶住下来，至今住了超过 35年。我的家人全在洛城，但因为我生于日本，我的心连系著两个国家，很难说我比较亲哪一个，但梦里全是日文。我不觉得自己天生就是个挑战常规的人，只是不爱浪费而已。我今年67岁，累积了丰富经验，而且懂得烹饪之道，因此喜欢尝试不同的烹调技巧。在日本，

刺身只会沾上酱油及芥末一起吃，但当我去到秘鲁，看到他们吃鱼是用柠檬和青柠汁搭配，这些经验让我改变对食物的看法。我在秘鲁开餐厅的日子不好过，然而若我从没去过南美，我的烹饪方法可能截然不同。秘鲁的食物深深启发我，让我明白到别去打破常规，而是要了解不同文化。 1999年我在日本的首间餐厅开业，之前安排了许多场推广晚宴，用芫荽、番椒和其他秘鲁食材制作佳肴，当时宾客的评语是“这并非日本菜”，毕竟日本是非常注重传统的国家。但时至今日，墨西哥辣椒、酸橘汁腌鱼和刺身配南美辣酱及日本柚子汁，都已经成为时尚美馔。我不喜欢形容自己烹调的是融合菜，我喜欢称它为Nobu菜式，是个人化的风格，是从我所有的经验汇合而成。当中秘鲁的影响固然重要，但阿拉斯加也扮演了重要角色，在安克拉治生活时我认识了不同的海产，例如黑鳕鱼和帝皇蟹。我尽可能使用地道食材，这正是Nobu风格。顾客光顾 Nobu是因为信任我们的品质。我们每天早上都会买新鲜鱼，通常第二天就用光。我现在仍然有下厨，一如以往不断作出新尝试。上一次的新尝试是制作干味噌，在过去10至15年间，厨师们都在谈论 “鲜味”，这个名词是指提升食物味道的谷氨酸盐复合物。在日本菜中，这种 “鲜味＂是来自海藻丶酱油及味噌。我创制了干味噌，因为把它变干更能凝聚“鲜味”。我用干味噌调味已经有六、七年了，它跟白鱼和三文鱼刺身是绝配，用于球茎甘蓝沙律和烤肉也是美味无穷。

“One day [in Peru] a customer came into Matsuhisa and said “Nobu, can you make the ceviche without the onions?” So we gave it a try. And rather than dicing the fish, we cut it like usuzukuri – the thin slices we would normally use for fugu [blowfish]. We used the same sauce as the ceviche: the citrus, the chilli, the cilantro [coriander].” 有一天（在秘鲁）一位顾客到Matsuhisa餐厅跟我说：“信幸，你做的酸橘汁腌鱼可否不用洋葱？”我们于是试试看，不把鱼切粒而是切成薄片，和制作河豚刺身一样，然後用制作酸橘汁腌鱼时相同的酱汁包括柚子汁丶辣椒及芫荽，就做成这道菜。

YELLOWTAIL SASHIMI WITH JALAPEÑO 油甘鱼刺身配墨西哥辣椒 “I was in Hawaii working as a guest chef. We were sitting around after making dinner for 180 and needed a bite. I went to the fridge and sliced up a piece of yellowtail. We had no wasabi left, but there were jalapeño chillies. I sliced the fish, topped it with the chillies and a tiny piece of garlic and lemon juice and soy sauce. I have served it ever since.” 有一次我应邀到夏威夷担任客席厨师，为 180位来宾准备晚餐。晚宴後工作人员聚在一起需要吃点东西。于是我由冰箱取出一块油甘鱼切成片，当时芥末已用光，但有墨西哥辣椒。于是我把鱼切片后，把辣椒和一小块蒜片放在上面，浇上柠檬汁及酱油。至今我的餐厅仍有这道菜。●

een in the 1980s as a symbol of flashy indulgence, the business jet is these days acknowledged for its efficiency, privacy, security and comfort. For VIP clients with time pressures and specific destinations in mind, it’s often literally the only way to travel. Australia’s market for business jets has doubled every 10 years. “In the mid-1990s there were about 40-50 aircraft, in the mid-2000s it was 100, and now there are almost 200,” says David Bell, the CEO of the Australian Business Aviation Association. Those aircraft may be as small as a six-seater, owner-flown Cessna Citation M2 retailing new at US$4.2 million to full “bizliners”, based on commercial airliners. The BBJ (Boeing Business Jet) and ACJ (Airbus Corporate Jet) model families tend to be favoured by heads of state and royals. Boeing launched its first 737-based BBJ in 1998, in response to the creeping size of market-leading business jets from Canadian builder Bombardier and the US Gulfstream. Of the more than 200 BBJ planes so far delivered, about twothirds are the US$80m, 737-derived model – but the tally also includes eight 747-8s, at around US$378m each. The sweet spot in private aviation, however, currently lies with Bombardier’s Global Express and Gulfstream’s G550 and G650. Worldwide, both manufacturers have each delivered more than 600 examples of their planes, with a price of US$55-$65m for a new plane. Waiting lists typically stand at three to five years. These prices, incidentally, are for “green” aircraft, before interior fit-out and exterior paint. The completion of a new aircraft or the refurbishment of a pre-owned one, will generally add a minimum of US$5m to the price. It’s the ultimate experience in bespoke tailoring. And imaginations have always soared as high as the planes. The grand-daddy of business jets, purpose-built in 1945 for

US President Franklin D Roosevelt, was a Douglas VC-54C Skymaster. The Sacred Cow sported regular USAF livery and featured a telephone, sleeping quarters and an elevator for the wheelchair-bound president. Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal probably takes the private jet crown with his Boeing 747-400. The opulent interior is awash with gold and marble, its bedrooms equipped with ensuites. The dining table seats 14 and the prince buckles up in a centrally mounted throne. The 747 is but one of a fleet that also includes an Airbus A321 and Hawker 800 runabout. US presidential hopeful Donald Trump keeps his hair tidy in a Boeing 757-200, nicknamed Trump Force One. With seating for 43 (commercial 757-200s seat about 240), the interior ambience is quite clubby, with dark timber panelling, leather seating and gold-plated seatbelt buckles. The master bedroom has an ensuite with shower. The jet-set has form. Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner spent US$5.5m in 1969 to transform a Douglas DC-9 airliner into a personal party plane. The Big Bunny boasted an on-board disco, cinema room, conference area, shower and private quarters that included an elliptical waterbed. Says Madelyn Pagano, modification sales and design manager at aircraft completion and refurbishment specialist Jet Aviation, in St Louis, Missouri, “We can design around, literally, anything small or large. One customer wanted to match his high-performance sports car to his jet interior with black carbon-fibre accents, satin pear wood, cognac leather seats and quilted stitching. Another was a huge Prince fan and loved the colour purple. We – tastefully – incorporated a deep regal purple. Another customer wanted a very masculine design with only shades of grey throughout. “We’ve had a customer send us a candy apple red metallic water bottle to match for their seat leather. Another customer sent a napkin ring that had a small detail they wanted to make the theme of their aircraft design.

商务喷射客机在1980年代的时候，是穷奢极侈的象征，时至今日则凭着高效率、隐密性、安全和舒适得到认同。对于行色匆匆以及有特定目的地的VIP贵宾级顾客来说，私人商务喷射客机可说是他们外游的唯一途径。澳大利亚的商务喷射客机市场每10年便翻一翻。澳大利亚商务航空协会行政总裁大卫．贝尔说：“1990年代中期澳大利亚约有40至50架商务客机，到了2000年代中期增至100架，现在已经达到200架。” 商务客机的体积各有不同，例如Cessna 公司的Citation M2型号是一架六座位飞机，由机主自驾，零售价为420万美元，市场上当然还有其他大型机款。至於国家元首和皇族最喜爱乘坐的，是波音商务喷射机和空中客车企业喷射机这两个系列。波音公司1998年推出旗下首架737系列的波音商务喷射机，务求与主导市场的加拿大庞巴迪公司和美国湾流公司看齐，因为他们生产的飞机体积愈来愈大。波音至今付运超过200架商务喷射机，约三分之二是价值8,000万美元的737系列型号，另有八架747-8型号，每架约3.78亿美元。不过，目前私人航空业的宠儿是庞巴迪公司的环球快车，以及湾流航空的G550和 G650型号。这两家飞机制造商至今分别向全球各地付运了超过600架飞机，每架新造客机售价为5,500万至6,500万美元，顾客轮候时间一般为三至五年。以上售价是未加上室内布置和外壳油漆的“原装”价钱。要装潢一架全新客机或者翻新一架“二手”客机，一般要另外付出最少500万美元。装潢私人飞机可说是度身定制产品的

终极体验，所使用的想像力可以一如飞机般“冲上云霄”。商务喷射机的始祖是 1945年专为美国总统富兰克林．罗斯福而设的Douglas VC-54C Skymaster。它的别号是“神圣的牛＂，印有正规的美国空军徽章，并设有电话、睡眠区及为需要坐轮椅的罗斯福总统而设的升降机。” 沙特阿拉伯王子阿尔瓦利德．本．塔拉尔的747-400客机，可谓商务喷射机中的皇者。客机内部陈设豪华，以大理石装饰而且金碧辉煌，寝室内设有浴室。餐桌可坐14人，王子可以悠然扣上安全带，安坐在中央位置的“王座”。这架747只是王子私人客机机队其中一员，机队内还有一架 A321空中客车和一架豪客800轻型飞机。美国总统参选人唐纳德．特朗普的波音757-200私人飞机外号是“特朗普空军一号”，他坐在机内毫发不动。客机可容纳 43人（商用的757-200大约设240个座位），室内设计颇奢华，例如采用深色木材作镶板、皮革座椅和镀金安全带扣。主人套房设有淋浴间。富豪们对私人飞机各有喜好。《花花公子》杂志创办人休．海夫纳於1969年豪掷 550万美元，把一架道格拉斯DC-9客机改装成一架私人派对飞机。这架昵称“大白兔”的专机上设有空中的士高、电影室、会议区、浴室，还有摆放了一张圆形水床的私人房间。在密苏里州圣刘易斯市的Jet Aviation 公司专门从事飞机组装及翻新，该公司的改装销售及设计经理玛德琳．帕加诺说： “我们的设计能够满足客人事无大小的要求。例如一位顾客曾经要求客机内部要与他那部马力强大的跑车配衬，所以使

“When customers have a vision of what they want, it is our job to make it come to life. The best designs not only stem from our own ideas as designers, but reflect our customers and their unique personalities and lifestyles.” Some owners get quite creative. “A client recently designed a paint scheme that starts from the front as a solid colour, then breaks up into leaves towards the back,” says Nick Houseman, president of technical aviation services firm Zenith Jet in Montréal, Canada. “The same concept was carried to the interior: the carpet had to be specially designed with a combination of silk and wool.” Houseman says that 20 years ago, the ratio of corporate versus high net worth individual bizjet buyers was a clear three to one. However, the emergence of management agencies to oversee purchase, commissioning, operation and maintenance has evened the ratio today. A key consideration in choosing an aircraft is its range; the maximum distance between refuelling. “The options are fewer, the further you need to go,” Houseman explains. The 6000-plus mile range of the Global Express allows Australian owners to travel from Melbourne to Honolulu or Bangkok, non-stop. According to Mike Carney, manager of Crown Resorts’ aviation division, there are more than 20 Global Express aircraft in Australian ownership, including three operated by Crown for its VIP guests, having replaced a fleet of three Gulfstream jets in 2014. A business jet’s interior specification will be dictated by its intended use. The design process typically involves 3D design renderings, material samples and even prototype seats being dispatched to the customer, or discussed faceto-face. Nick Houseman tells of once flying 36 hours from Montréal to the Maldives for a one-hour client meeting. The Global Express can seat 19 passengers in “highdensity” configuration, but Crown’s priority is long-haul 20 CRYSTAL JUNE 2016

comfort and so they are configured for 15. Its aircraft are identically fitted-out, each at a cost of close to US$5m. With 23 full-time staff and CASA (Civil Aviation Safety Authority) in-house maintenance accreditation, Crown Resorts is Australia’s largest private aircraft operator. It’s also one of the busiest, with each aircraft flying on average twice per week. Each plane’s annual tally of 600 flying hours is about three times the industry average. “Our guests love to travel through the night,” Carney explains. Interiors are warm and restrained, modelled on the award-winning themes of Crown’s international resort properties. “The Crown planes were unique as a group, because they were similar to each other and done consecutively here on site,” says Pagano. But it’s not all about restraint. “We are currently working on an interior [made] almost entirely of blue carbon fibre, which is trending right now. In the past, we’ve used stingray leather, granite, mother-of-pearl inlays and gold adornments.” Crown’s guests are always a single group, often a VIP guest and his executive team or family. While there’s often sleep on the agenda between Australia and the most-travelled Asian destinations, Carney says the journey can be much-needed time for catching up. “All of our destinations have great corporate aviation facilities,” he says. “Our guests relax while all the departure formalities are done for them. From the time the aircraft door is closed, we’re ready to taxi in about 10 minutes. Our guests have satellite wi-fi and iPads to watch movies and control cabin functions. Some will take advantage of the myriad dining options.” Crown’s Global Expresses are equipped for comfort, but also for speed and reliability. “We fly fast,” Carney says. “We go at Mach 0.85, or 85 per cent of the speed of sound. Our guests want to get to their destination quickly, and that’s what corporate jets do.” ●

合共超过20架，当中三架由皇冠度假村于 2014年为其VIP贵宾级客户购入，田取代之前的三架湾流喷射机。商务喷射机的内部规格视乎客机的用途而定。设计程序一般包括提供3D立体设计图样、用料样本，甚至把座椅的样板送交顾客过目，或面对面商讨。尼克．豪斯曼曾经由蒙特利尔乘搭36小时飞机到马尔代夫，只为与客户开一个小时的会议。若以“高密度”布置座位，环球快车可载19位乘客。但皇冠一向以长途航班的舒适度为前提，因此把客机布置成只供15 名乘客乘搭。公司每架客机的布置完全一样，每架造价约500万美元。皇冠度假村是澳大利亚最大的私人客机营运商，有23位全职雇员，并且获得澳大利亚民用航空安全管理局内部维修许可证。皇冠度假村也是其中一家最繁忙的私人客机营运商，每架客机平均每周飞行两次。而每架飞机每年飞行600小时，大约是业内平均数字的三倍。卡尼说：“我们的宾客都喜爱在晚上乘坐飞机。” 皇冠度假村客机的机舱装潢风格温暖而平实，是参照皇冠国际度假村物业的得奖主题打造而成。帕加诺指出：“皇冠客机机队的整体造型耀眼独特，因为每架飞机都很相似，而且全部都是先后在这儿制造。”但这类客机的设计风格也并非完全保守。帕加诺说：“我们现正投入一个几乎全部以蓝色碳纤维修饰的机舱，是现今最流行的做法。过去我们曾经使用魟鱼皮革、花岗石、珍珠母贝镶饰和金色的装饰品。” 皇冠私人客机的乘客通常都是单一团体，多数是一位VIP贵宾连同他的行政团

队或家人乘搭。客机来往澳大利亚与一些最受欢迎的亚洲目的地，一般都会安排睡眠时间。卡尼说日理万机的行政人员亦可以利用飞行的时间阅读文件，为会议作准备。卡尼指出：“我们所有目的地的企业航空设施都很出色，可以为宾客办妥所有出境手续，让他们尽情放松。机门关上后约10分钟，飞机已准备好滑出跑道。机上有接驳人造卫星的wi-fi和iPad，客人可用来欣赏电影和遥控机舱设施。有些客人则喜欢全程享用机上美味的餐饮，品尝数之不尽的菜式及饮品。” 皇冠的环球快车为客人提供舒适，也兼备速度和可靠性的服务。卡尼说：“我们快捷地飞行。” “我们把速度定为0.85马赫，即是音速的百分之85。客人希望迅速抵达目的地，这也是企业喷射机的使命。”● JUNE 2016 CRYSTAL

New money and a growing interest in philanthropy from an up-and-coming generation of millionaires, combined with a recent push for “developing culture” in Asia, is behind a new cache of world-class art temples. Many employ celebrity architects to build innovative spaces dedicated to art and hire their own teams of expert curatorial staff to oversee annual exhibition programs. With a first-hand connection to galleries and artists, this new style of art museum responds directly to audiences beyond the traditional museum format, often transforming the experience of interacting with art. Certainly, there are the tax incentives and the odd boutique vanity project, but for most high-end collectors, the driving force behind establishing a private museum is the love of art, the prospect of sharing it and leaving a lasting legacy. Private art collections have a long tradition. First emerging during the Renaissance, wealthy arts patrons have been the lifeblood of the art world for centuries. Many museums were originally owned by noble families – from the Medicis, who emulated traditions set by religious institutions in the 14th century of commissioning artworks by artists, to a wave of tycoons in the 19th century, including American industrialists Henry Clay Frick, John D Rockefeller and Solomon Guggenheim, and British sugar magnate Henry Tate. From large-scale structures to small foundation gallery spaces and house museums, these private art collections offer insights into the passions of Asia’s wealthy collectors.

The Rolls-Royce Dawn’s interior is a masterful melding of traditional elegance and modern design. //

劳斯莱斯 “曜影＂的车厢设计，以精湛的手法将传统高雅及时尚装潢融为一体。

here’s a point at which a machine transcends its engineering and manufacturing, and becomes as inspired and unique as a work of art. Similarly, there is a point at which a motor vehicle can “transport” you in ways beyond the merely physical. The Rolls-Royce Dawn, a A$749,000 handcrafted convertible, motors serenely beyond both those points. Its design is achingly elegant inside and out, and with only 1000 or so to be built each year, the likelihood is high that no two examples will be the same. Rolls-Royce launched the Dawn against the rough-hewn beauty and vast skies of South Africa’s Cape Winelands. Rolls-Royce launch HQ was the Delaire Graff Estate, 40 minutes’ drive west of Cape Town, the personal vineyard and resort of legendary British diamond jeweller Laurence Graff (Graff opened its first Australian store in January this year at Crown Melbourne, see story page 59). The Dawn effectively replaces the convertible (“drophead coupé”) version of the flagship Phantom limousine, which ceases production this year. Crown Melbourne’s VIP guests are also familiar with the Phantom, in its A$1m-plus, extended-wheelbase guise. Many guests have been chauffeured in the resort’s piano-black Phantom by its equally stately driver, “Rolls-Royce George” [Panos]. “The Phantom is my silent partner,” Panos says. “Our guests thoroughly enjoy the vehicle and many of them take pictures and videos from within its beautiful leather interior. The car impresses all who come into contact with it.” Imposingly large limousines, however, aren’t to everyone’s taste in the 21st century. The new Dawn, the forthcoming Phantom, a Black Badge performance line and, in late 2017, a Rolls-Royce SUV are all transformational steps in the 112 year-old brand’s plan to attract younger customers. That process began in 2010 with the introduction of the Ghost, a A$600,000 sedan that filled the niche between the A$850,000-plus Phantom and the top mainstream German limousines such as BMW’s 760Li, from whose platform and twin-turbocharged V12 engine the Ghost was derived (Rolls-Royce has been owned by BMW since 1998). In 2013, the face-lifted Ghost II was joined by the Wraith, a wholly unexpected, performance-tuned coupé that suddenly made the likes of Maserati, Aston Martin 40 CRYSTAL JUNE 2016

当一部机器的工程和制造不断升华的时候，去到某一个境界会成为一件富啓发性又独特的艺术品。同样地，一部汽车去到某一个境界，会超越简单的运输功能，以独特的方式“接载”你。劳斯莱斯价值749,000澳元的“曜影”手工敞篷车，已静悄悄地超越上述两个境界。它的设计无论内外都极之高雅，年产量仅 1,000架，因此每架“曜影”很可能都是独一无二的。劳斯莱斯汽车在南非酿酒区开普酒乡举行“曜影”发布会，那里山势峻峭、天空广阔。举行发布会的私人德莱尔格拉夫庄园，距离南非开普敦40分钟车程，属于英国知名珠宝商劳伦斯．格拉夫所有（格拉夫珠宝今年一月在墨尔本皇冠度假村开设在澳大利亚的首间专卖店，请阅读第65页的故事。）。“曜影”将会取代“幻影＂系列中的软顶敞篷车，后者将于今年内停产。墨尔本皇冠度假村的VIP贵宾，对价值100万澳元的“幻影＂加长版轿车一点也不陌生。大部分贵宾都曾经乘搭度假村车队旗下的“幻影＂钢琴漆黑色轿车。负责驾驶的司机帕诺斯外号“劳斯莱斯乔治”，他说：“幻影是我的最佳伙伴。＂ “我们的宾客非常享受乘搭这架轿车，他们在漂亮的真皮车厢内拍照及录像。只要接触过这架车的人，都留下难忘的体验。” 然而在21世纪，并非所有人都钟情大型轿车。全新“曜影”、即将推出的“幻影＂新车款、性能出众的Black Badge车系，以及预计在2017年底推出的劳斯莱斯SUV，都标志这家有112年历史的公司，正逐步蜕变以吸引更多年青顾客。其实，这个过程于2010 年推出价值600,000澳元的“古思特＂小轿车时已经开始。该车款的定位，是在850,000澳元的“幻影＂与德国顶级轿车例如宝马的 760Li之间。“古思特＂的平台和双涡轮增压V12发动机，就是由 760Li而来（1998年起，劳斯莱斯汽车已由宝马拥有）。在2013年重新设计的“古思特＂II，加上动力强劲、令人意想不到的“魅影＂轿跑车面世，使同侪如玛莎拉蒂、阿斯顿马丁以及宾利等，突然间对劳斯莱斯的发展密切注视起来。“魅影＂这个名字带有阴暗的感觉，而“曜影”一如字面的意思，带有阳光活力及从混沌中觉醒的气质。在风格高雅的“曜影”身上，可以找到一个很时尚元素，就是设计巧妙的车标和水箱格栅，以及较为向前倾的车姿。相反大部分劳斯莱斯小轿车的特色，是不断加大的长沙发椅。 “曜影”搭载“古思特＂小轿车采用的6.6升双涡轮增压V12发动机，输出功率是“标准”的420kW，而不是＂魅影＂那个强百分之10版本的引擎。尽管如此，按输出功率（420kW）和峰值扭距（780牛米）计，它在汽车界的排名高踞三甲之内，位于主要竞争对手、同样搭载了V12的宾利旗舰系列和梅赛德斯-奔驰的AMG 之下。“曜影”从0加速至100公里仅需4.9秒，符合双座位跑车的规格。它还强调顺畅的表现，使用全位定位导航系统预测前方斜坡和弯位，继而选择八速自动变速箱的最佳档位。后铰链马车式车门已成为当代劳斯莱斯车系的特色，令进出汽车后座的动作变得更优雅，这个特色配合“曜影”的加长版电动车门尤其实用。劳斯莱斯更声称“曜影”是市场上最宁静的敞篷

and, especially, Bentley pay attention. As the Dawn’s name implies, it’s a sunny and innocent awakening after the “darker”, Batman-esque Wraith. If there’s one edgy element to the Dawn’s elegance, it’s in the subtly toned haunches and more forward-leaning stance. Rolls-Royce sedans, in contrast, have the comportment of a vigorously-accelerating chesterfield sofa. The Dawn is powered by the “standard output” (420kW) twin-turbo, 6.6-litre V12 from the Ghost sedan, rather than the 10 per cent more powerful Wraith. Dawn’s power (420kW) and torque (780Nm) are nonetheless in the upper echelon of automotive outputs, bested only by similar V12 flagships from arch-rival Bentley and Mercedes-Benz AMG. Its 0-100km/h acceleration in 4.9 seconds is firmly in the realm of two-seater sports cars. Yet the Dawn’s emphasis is on seamless performance, as illustrated by the eight-speed automatic transmission that uses GPS guidance to anticipate hills and bends. Rear-hinged doors have become an identifying feature of contemporary RollsRoyces. They bring practical benefits in allowing graceful access, particularly so with the long, electrically assisted doors on the Dawn. The inherent strength of the central chassis contributes to Rolls-Royce’s claim that the Dawn is the quietest convertible on the market. It is also, truly, a four-seater. Housing a fullyautomated folding roof traditionally involves compromising rear occupants’ backrest comfort and legroom. No such compromise was allowed for the Dawn, whose six-layered, French-seamed roof – a fine piece of tailoring – albeit German, rather than English – can operate within 20 seconds at speeds of up to 50km/h. It is stowed beneath a timber-panelled cover redolent of traditional boatbuilding. The Dawn’s designers had the luxury of room to move. The car measures 5.4m from bumper to bumper and weighs a heady 2.56 tonnes. The interior shows a masterful melding of traditional elegance, modern design and pure functionality. Classic Rolls touches remain, such as the chrome-plated “eyeball” air vents operated by organ-stop controls, and mesmerisingly deep piano-black details. But there’s nothing staid about the catalogue of bold leather colours and exotic timbers. It all adds up to a unique driving experience; especially so in the wonderland of the Western Cape with its snaking coastal cruises, gentle vineyard foothills and generous mountain passes. The Dawn’s engine performance is majestic and utterly unflappable. On departing, one has the sense of prodding the accelerator and simply rolling most of the way to the destination. A quaint, characteristic instrument facing the driver is a “Power Reserve” gauge; it never seems to budge from “100 per cent remaining”. Like the Wraith, the Dawn begs to be driven. It scythes through corners with total confidence, its driving enjoyment enhanced by superlative seating comfort and light but communicative control of the steering and brakes. The experience in the rear is more mixed – promises of limousine seating and space are entirely true, but rear-passenger comfort and enjoyment of the open-air experience diminishes with speed, the wind bluster becoming tiresome beyond 80km/h. Strangely, though, that’s in keeping with the Dawn’s ambience. The rich, open-pore timber lining the interior has its own transcendental power: riding in the Dawn feels less like mere motoring, more like an outing in a classic wooden speedboat or vintage aircraft. Dawn is an experience. ●

车，全赖其坚固的中央底盘。“曜影”是真正的四座椅款式。一般的敞篷款式由于要辟出位置安放自由开折的篷，所以要占用后座乘客部分伸腿空间。但“曜影”不需要这样做，因为它的六层软顶敞篷是采用法国精巧的接缝工艺，剪裁完美（事实上敞篷在德国缝制，而非英国），可以在每小时50公里的速度以20秒完成开合操作。合起来的敞篷，藏在以传统造船技术打造的木材镶板下。车身全长约5.4米的曜影，仅重2.56吨。 “曜影”设计师有许多空间打造豪华的细节，车厢完美地糅合传统高雅气质及现代元素，亦兼具实用功能。除了保持劳斯莱斯一贯的风格，例如由圆形按钮控制的镀铬“眼球”形通风口，还有迷人的钢琴漆黑色细节，可供选择的真皮颜色和木饰令人眼花撩乱。这些细节带来无可比拟的驾驶乐趣，特别是驰骋在西开普敦沿岸的蜿蜒车道；夹杂在葡萄园间、斜度温和的山坡，以及宽阔的山道。“曜影”的整体表现稳定，满有王者风范。只要轻轻踩下加速踏板，车子就可顺畅地抵达目的地，而且在驾驶者面前的“动力储存”仪器，彷佛经常维持在“尚馀100%”的状态。跟“魅影＂一样，“曜影”令驾驶者无法抗拒。入弯动作明快，而舒适的座椅、反应敏锐的操控及制动系统，进一步提升驾驶乐趣。后座乘客可享受媲美轿车的舒适座椅及空间，只不过在时速超过80公里後，迎面的强风削减了敞篷飞驰的乐趣。为“曜影”不论内外都贯彻了豪华的氛围，就连车厢采用的精致开孔木饰面板，也拥有一种令人感觉越脱的力量。坐在“曜影＂车厢内，感觉不像坐在汽车上，反而好像置身于一艘经典赛艇扬帆出海，也彷佛身处怀旧式设计的机舱内。“曜影”确实让你拥有难以形容的超凡体验。 ● JUNE 2016 CRYSTAL

t’s every violinist’s dream to draw his or her bow across the strings of an 18th-century Stradivarius or Guarneri violin – deemed the best in the world. But the days of musicians buying such rare instruments, valued in the millions, are long-gone. Enter the arts patron. Unlike an aged bottle of Château Lafite that is too far turned to be enjoyed, or a Picasso masterpiece that can be admired but not touched, in the hands of the right musician a well-made antique instrument can thrive. A fine instrument gets better with time. Upon acquiring one and loaning it to a musician, the proprietor at once becomes part of a special triumvirate bond between owner, player and listener. Here are some of Australia’s most coveted instruments and the performers who bring them to life.

由18世纪斯特拉迪瓦里和瓜尔内里家族制造的小提琴，被誉为全球最好的小提琴，弹奏它们是每位小提琴手的梦想。不过，这些乐器的价钱往往以百万澳元计，如今的乐手已很难负担得起。幸好艺术界有不少赞助人。一件手工精巧的古董乐器，不像法国拉菲酒庄红酒般要经过陈酿才能品尝，也不像毕加索的名画般可望而不可触，相反，只要落在适当的音乐家手上就能大放异彩。优质的乐器还会随岁月流逝而变得更出色。而买到优质古董乐器的人，如果将乐器借给出色的音乐家，那乐器的主人、乐手和听众之间，就构成一种特殊的三方关系。以下介绍澳大利亚一些最令人梦寐以求的乐器，还有多位为这些乐器注入生命的音乐家。

Richard Tognetti & del Gesù violin 理查德．托涅蒂与他的德尔．杰苏小提琴

The classical music world was agog when the Australian Chamber Orchestra’s lead violinist and artistic director Richard Tognetti was gifted an 18th-century Italian violin in 2007. The 1743 Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù “Carrodus” was purchased by an anonymous benefactor and is insured for A$16 million. However, Tognetti may be the instrument’s true beneficiary, chosen to play it and, in doing so, enabling audiences around the world to enjoy the rich, velvety sounds intended by its maker. Guarneri sits alongside Antonio Stradivari in reputation: both made violins in the 1700s in Cremona, Northern Italy. While the sound produced by the better-known Stradivarius violins is piercing, a del Gesù (it means “of Jesus”) is more mysterious: “powerful in its lower notes and richer in tone,” explains Tognetti. This particular violin has an interesting provenance: it survived a car crash in 1953 in which its owner, Ossy Renardy, was tragically killed. Prior to that, it allegedly belonged to violin legend Niccolò Paganini. Holding it is “at first daunting, but then it really becomes part of you – your baby”, Tognetti says. As such, it is kept under close guard. “It’s stored in a safe. When it’s not chained to my arm, it’s under lock and key, passcodes and security guards. You’d have to chop off my limbs to steal it.” 2007年，当澳大利亚室内乐团首席小提琴手兼艺术总监理查德．托涅蒂获赠一个18世纪的意大利小提琴时，整个古典音乐界都十分雀跃。这个1743吉赛贝．瓜尔内里．德尔．杰苏“Carrodus”小提琴由一位匿名的捐助人买下，并已购买了多达1,600万澳元的保险。不过，若说托涅蒂才是这乐器的真正受惠者也绝不为过，他获赠这乐器，让全球观众能够欣赏到造琴者赋予此琴丰富和柔软如丝的琴音。小提琴制作家瓜尔内里的知名度，与安东尼奥．斯特拉迪瓦里不相伯仲，二人均于1700年代在意大利北部的克雷莫纳制造小提琴。斯特拉迪瓦里的作品，以琴音触动人心闻名于世，而德尔．杰苏（意大利语意思是「耶稣」）则有一股不可思议的魅力，托涅蒂解释：“它的低音强而有力，音色丰厚。”这个小提琴的来历颇耐人寻味：它在1953年的一场车祸中完好无缺，其主人奥斯．雷纳迪则身亡。在此之前，据说此琴属于小提琴界传奇人物尼可罗．帕格尼尼。托涅蒂说拿起这琴时“最初有些害怕，但慢慢地它会成为你的一部分，有如你的孩子”。因此，托涅蒂一直严密保管此琴。“我把它放在保险箱。当它不在我手臂上的时候，就会被锁上，再加上锁匙丶密码锁和保安员重重保护。想偷走它，除非把我的手脚砍掉吧。”

Kirsty McCahon & 1760 Bella Basso bass 基丝蒂．麦卡宏与她的1760Bella Basso 低音提琴

TOBY BURROWS

The Australian Brandenburg Orchestra’s principal double bass player Kirsty McCahon feels much the same way about her (slightly larger) instrument of choice. “We communicate with each other,” she says. “We say of musicians that we have found our instrument: you might play dozens or hundreds of instruments, and then one speaks to you for whatever reason. That’s the magic of it.” McCahon carries around a 260-year-old bass as costly as it is cumbersome. Made by Giuseppe Abbati in Modena, Italy, circa 1760, she knows it was brought to Van Diemen’s land by an Italian in 1899, and has been played in the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. “Its rich, voluptuous, dark wine tones, I like to think, are directly influenced by the area in which it was built. Sadly, I don’t know who played it before it came to Australia.” In order to protect its legacy, when people ask she usually lies about its value (hundreds of thousands of dollars). “For instance, every time I hop in a cab and they ask, ‘Oh, how much is that worth?’ I don’t give them that figure. I might just say a couple of thousand bucks.” She says the real value lies in the hours the instrument has spent “making glorious music in the hands of many”. “I own it in so far as I have paid hard cash for it, but I see myself as [only] the custodian of this very fine instrument. [Just] as I have had the good fortune of it coming into my life, it will go on to be in the lives of others. “I think that’s a very special place to be.” 澳大利亚勃兰登堡室内乐团首席低音提琴手基丝蒂．麦卡宏，对她所选择的（体积稍大的）乐器，有一种很特殊的亲切感。她说：“我和它之间能够互相沟通。这就是音乐家常常说，终于找到属于自己的乐器的感觉。你可能已弹奏过数以十计甚至百计的乐器，但因为某种原因才终于找到一件能够与你沟通的乐器，这就是当中的奇妙之处。” 麥卡宏这个低音提琴已有260年历史，除了价值不菲，体积也很庞大。这琴约于1760年在意大利摩德纳由朱塞佩．阿巴蒂制造，据她所知在1899年由一位意大利人带往澳大利亚的塔斯曼尼亚（当时被称为范迪门斯地），并曾经由墨尔本交响乐团和悉尼交响乐团演奏。“它的音色十分丰厚、诱人，我觉得它那恍如深红酒般醇厚的音色，是直接受到制造它的地方影响。可惜我不知道它来到澳大利亚之前，谁曾经拉奏它。” 为了保护这件富有历史价值的乐器，当有人问起它的价值时，麥卡宏总会迫不得已说谎：“我每次坐计程车时，司机都会问 ‘这个琴值多少钱﹖’但我从不直接说出价钱，只会声称约数千元吧。”其实这低音提琴价值数十万澳元。她认为一件乐器的真正价值，在于它有多少时间“在乐手手上奏出美妙的音乐”。 “我因为付了钱而拥有这件优秀乐器，然而，我认为自己只是它的保管者。能够在人生中遇到这件乐器是我的幸运，但它往後会继续进入其他人的生命，我觉得这是件很美的事。”

“Tipi” Valve & 1929 Guarneri cello "蒂比"．维尔与他的瓜尔内里大提琴

简．鲁特与她的刘易斯．罗特长笛

The tale of Jane Rutter’s Louis Lot flute is just as remarkable as Satu Vänskä’s. Following an international tribute concert for her renowned French flute teacher, Alain Marion, at the National Flute Association Convention in Atlanta, USA, in 1999, the classical flautist received a phone call. It was the son of well-known American flute player Albert Tipton, who had purchased a Louis Lot in Paris in the 1950s. “He said, ‘I’ve got my dad’s French flute for sale. Do you want to buy it?’” The seller wanted to be sure its next owner would look after the flute, handmade in Paris in the late 1880s. He needn’t have worried. Considered a world expert in French-style flute playing, Rutter’s dynamic performances bring the instrument to life. “Fine music is so wonderful because you’re melding your personality with that of the composer,” she says. “A good instrument will enhance the possibilities of expression.” The Louis Lot’s elegant sound lends itself both to Baroque music and the refined French style Rutter is famous for. The flute is made of sterling silver with gold detail and has an alternative ebony head-joint. (In concert, Rutter also plays a handmade contemporary 14ct gold flute.) Although not valued in the millions like Golden Age violins, the flute is viewed much like a voice in France, and Louis Lots are highly sought-after. Rutter paid US$10,000 for it and says she wouldn’t sell it for less than three times that – although it’s not for sale. “The flute is so refined it responds beautifully to my requests for different tone colours,” she says. “The mechanism is superb, it is so light, an absolute dream to play.”

简．鲁特与她的刘易斯．罗特长笛的故事也十分精彩。1999年，鲁特在美国阿特兰大的国立长笛协会大会，为其著名的法籍长笛老师阿兰．马利翁举行国际致敬演奏会后，这位活泼开朗的古典长笛演奏家接到一通电话。来电者是著名的美籍长笛演奏家阿尔贝．提普顿的儿子，他于1950年代在巴黎买到一枝刘易斯．罗特长笛。鲁特回忆说：“他说：‘你是否就是那位法式长笛演奏家﹖我想把父亲的法国长笛出售，你有兴趣买吗﹖’” 这枝长笛于1880年代在巴黎以人手制造。卖家希望它的新主人会好好保管它。他实在毋须担忧。鲁特获公认为法式长笛的国际级专家，她的演奏极具动感，为这长笛注入了生命。她说：“出色的乐曲能让你把自己和作曲家的心灵融合，实在很奇妙，而一件好的乐器，能令你演绎乐曲时更能表达丰富的感情。” 这枝刘易斯．罗特长笛的优雅声音，演绎巴洛克时期音乐以及鲁特闻名于世的精妙法式音乐风格，最适合不过。这枝长笛以纯银制造并有镀金组件，配以可更换的黑檀木笛头。(在演奏时，鲁特也会使用一枝手制的新款14ct金长笛。) 长笛虽然不如黄金年代的小提琴般价值以百万元计，但却被视为代表法国的音乐，而刘易斯．罗特长笛更是人人趋之若鹜。鲁特以一万美元将它买下，并说除非三倍以上价钱否则不会转售 — 当然，她根本无意出售。她说：“这枝长笛十分精巧，无论我想吹奏出任何音色，它都能够优美演绎。它的手工超卓，非常轻巧，能够用它来演奏就像梦境成真。”

澳大利亚室内乐团的芬兰籍首席大提琴手蒂姆－维科“蒂比”维尔仍然忘不了这件事情。有一天，维尔在伦敦的街上闲逛，无意中在 J & A B e a r e 乐器服务公司发现了这个瓜尔内里大提琴。这琴据说是于1729 年由瓜尔内里家的吉赛贝．瓜尔内里（别名 filius Andreæ）及其子巴托罗密欧．吉赛贝．瓜尔内里（德尔．杰苏）制造。价值为200万澳元。这琴在1940年代之前的历史仍然是个谜。不过，它之前的主人是刚于去年逝世、享年79岁的著名英籍大提琴手詹妮弗．沃德．克拉克。这位音乐人忆述：“虽然这个琴并非最昂贵，然而我与它之间却像一段关系一样，它某种特质让我感到‘就是它了’。我们拥有共同语言。” 这个瓜尔内里大提琴，是澳大利亚室内乐团的前任大提琴手兼“乐器基金”的创办人及捐助人彼得．魏斯购买给维尔专用。事有凑巧，维尔与魏斯的住处十分接近。维尔笑道：“我们可以算得上是邻居。有时候如果我在家练琴的话，说不定他会听得见。” ●

Timo-Veikko “Tipi” Valve, the Finnish principal cello of the Australian Chamber Orchestra, found his prized Guarneri at J&A Beare, when he went “window-shopping” in London. Attributed to both Giuseppe Guarneri (filius Andreæ) and his son Bartolomeo Giuseppe Guarneri (del Gesù), the cello was made in 1729. Valued at A$2 million, its provenance prior to the 1940s remains a mystery. More recently, it was played by prominent British cellist Jennifer Ward Clarke, who died last year, aged 79. “Even though it wasn’t the most expensive one [I saw], it had something special; something clicked, like a relationship. We spoke the same language,” the musician recounts. The Guarneri cello was purchased exclusively for Valve’s use by Australian philanthropist Peter Weiss, a former cellist and founding patron of the ACO’s Instrument Fund. Coincidentally, Valve and Weiss live near each other. “If I practise loud enough, he can probably hear me,” says Valve. ●

Crown’s last four bottles of Hennessey Ellipse cognac; the only release of Comtes de Champagne magnums; the limited-edition Yamazaki 25-year-old single malt whisky, aged in sherry casks, and its Suntory stablemate, the 21-year-old Hibiki blend. In stock are 38 vintages of Grange from 1951 to 2011 (the ’51 will set you back A$50,000) including those from the “hidden vintages” – 1957 to 1959, when legendary winemaker Max Schubert hid the older oak barrels behind cost-saving new oak. Crawford says one complete set recently sold overseas for $A285,000. “Not everything is listed [on wine menus], but they’re just a phone call away,” he says. Those calls often bring out the detective in Crawford. Many requests are driven by numbers: lucky numbers, anniversaries, birthdates, birth years. He was recently asked to source 40 bottles of 40-year-old Grange for a 40th birthday celebration. Rare red Burgundy also beds down here – coveted pinot noirs such as the

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Romanée-Conti. “A tiny production and highly sought,” says Crawford. “Maybe 300 [cases], compared to, say, a Bordeaux such as Château Lafite, of which 25,000 to 30,000 [cases] might be produced [from one vintage].” While rarity is a hallmark of Crown cellars, Crawford isn’t precious about letting his charges go. “There is no point buying it if you can’t sell it. We are careful about provenance. Being able to guarantee where something has come from is important ... like farm to table in the kitchen, people like to know the stories and the history.” This cellar is one of three VIP caches at Crown Melbourne, housing between 8,500 and 10,000 bottles all up. Sorted by variety, the cellars are kept at 16°C and high humidity so cork maintains its elasticity, preventing oxidisation. Light, too, is detrimental, and movement is kept to a minimum. “We tuck them up and put them to bed until somebody drinks them!” Crawford says. ●

ULURU ELECTRIC 乌鲁鲁之光 How do you illuminate a desert? British light artist Bruce Munro has been pondering this question since he first saw the majestic landscape of Uluru 24 years ago. In April this year, his extraordinary Field of Light – a luminous “garden” of more than 50,000 stems and spheres spanning an area larger than four football fields – finally arrived. The installation, the latest iteration of Munro’s radiant suite of work, required more than 3,900 working hours across six weeks on-site. It uses almost enough optical fibre cable to span from the Rock itself all the way back to Alice Springs (more than 380km) and is lit by a series of 144 projectors run by 36 solar-powered units. Fifteen tonnes of components were designed and built in the UK and flown 19,000km to the heart of Australia in a freight operation that lasted six weeks and utilised more than 30 flights. A delicately glowing bouquet set carefully against one of the world’s most iconic backdrops, Munro describes it as “an expression of how the land made me feel back in 1992: it was electrifying”. ASHLEY HAY On show until March 31, 2017. 如果要你燃亮一个浩瀚的沙漠，你会用什么方法？英国灯光艺术家布鲁斯．蒙罗在24 年前首次欣赏到乌鲁鲁壮丽的地貌之後，脑海里一直思考这个问题。直到今年四月，他终於实现梦想，在乌鲁鲁创作了一个大型装置《原野星光》，用超过50,000 颗灯泡组成一个发亮的“花园”，面积比四个足球场更大。这是蒙罗的最新装置艺术杰作，在展览现场花了六个星期合共逾3,900小时完成设置。所采用的光纤电缆加起来，几乎足够由乌鲁鲁巨石一直延伸到爱丽丝泉（距离超过380公里）。这个装置是由144部投影仪照亮，能源来自36个太阳能板。其15公吨重的组件在英国设计及制作，然後空运至19,000公里外的澳大利亚中心地带，整个运送过程花了六星期以及30多班航班。这个艺术装置犹如一束发亮的鲜花，优雅地在全球其中一个最具代表性的景观前盛放，蒙罗形容它“表达出这片土地在 1992年给他的感觉：充满激情。” 展期至2017年3月3月31日。

请教礼宾司 Melbourne’s best-kept secret? Those bars and restaurants you walk past every day without knowing it. One of my favourite bars, Hihou, is probably the most hidden of them all. Located at the end of Flinders Lane, right before you arrive at Treasury Gardens, is an unmarked black door with a doorbell. Ring it and be warmly welcomed by a polite Japanese host. The journey begins in a private sake cellar before proceeding upstairs to an intimate and charismatic bar, complete with a premium selection of sake and cocktails, and a Japanese-inspired menu with great sharing options. This is a one-ofa-kind experience. 墨尔本最鲜为人知的好去处在哪里？就在你每天都经过却没有留意的酒吧和餐厅。Hihou是我最喜爱的酒吧之一，而且可能是最隐密的。它坐落于弗林德斯街街尾，在国库花园前面。你会看到一道没有门牌的黑色门，按按上面的门铃，礼貌周周的日本东主就会走出来热情欢迎你，彷佛一早就知道你会到临。进去之后先经过一个私人清酒酒库，然后走到上层就是气氛亲切而且魅力四射的酒吧，为顾客提供优质的清酒和鸡尾酒，以及带有日式口味的菜谱。菜式可与好友一同分享，是个独一无二的体验。

If you had one free day in Melbourne what would you do? I recommend taking a Microflite helicopter tour of Victoria’s famous Great Ocean Road and its remote and captivating Twelve Apostles (Crown has a bespoke helicopter in Crown livery). The Melbourne City Helipad, kick-off point for the journey, is located within minutes of Crown Melbourne. About an hour later, you’ll be in Port Campbell for a private tour of the Visitors’ Centre and to explore the clifftop boardwalks and dramatic views of the Apostle limestone stacks. The return flight can include an additional stop for lunch at a local winery. It's a standout way to experience Victoria’s picturesque coastline. 如果你有一天假期，你会在墨尔本做什麽？我建议参加Microflite主办的直升机旅游行程，在半空俯瞰维多利亚州著名的大洋路，以及位处偏僻丶型态迷人的十二门徒石（皇冠现在备有专门定制的直升机）。墨尔本皇冠度假村距离墨尔本市直升机场仅数分钟路程。登上直升机之后，经过一个多小时的飞行旅程就会抵达坎贝尔港，可参加由访客中心主办的私人导赏团，在崖顶的木板小道漫

I recommend a bottle of Coldstream Hills Pinot Noir or Yabby Lake Chardonnay. There’s a store in The Block Arcade called Australian By Design (Shop 20, 282 Collins Street; +61 3 9663 9883) which offers high-end Australian items such as cast bronze kangaroo figurines, leather products and pieces by Indigenous artists. 墨尔本最佳纪念品是什麽？我认为所有旅客都应该买一些澳大利亚葡萄酒回家好好品尝！在众多美酒佳酿当中，我建议购买一瓶Coldstream Hills酒庄出品的黑皮诺葡萄酒，或Yabby Lake酒庄的霞多丽佳酿，两者都十分出色。除了美酒此之外，在街区拱廊有一间名为Australian By Design的店铺（地址：柯林斯街282 号店铺20号；电话：+61 3 9663 9883），出售高档次产品例如袋鼠铜像丶皮鞋制品以及原住民艺术家的作品。

If Anne-Eva Geffroy has one goal in life it is to make her statement pieces of jewellery dance. SUSAN SKELLY asks the Graff design director just how she works her gemstone magic. 假如格拉夫设计总监Anne-Eva Geffroy的人生只有一个目标，那就是让富代表性的珠宝散发璀璨迷人的亮光。SUSAN SKELLY与她畅谈点石成金的创作过程。

WHEN IT COMES TO A ROLL CALL OF RADIANCE, GRAFF DIAMONDS POSITIVELY DAZZLE. THE GOLDEN EMPRESS, THE PARAGON, THE GRAFF PINK, THE STAR OF BOMBAY, THE IMPERIAL, THE LESOTHO PROMISE … WHETHER VIVID YELLOWS, FANCY BLUES, ROSE PINKS OR FLAWLESS WHITES, THEY ARE THE STUFF OF LEGEND. The diamond company founded by Laurence Graff in 1960 (he is now its chairman), and whose son Francois Graff is the current CEO, is involved in every stage of the process of creating one-off statement pieces from sourcing the stones, to cutting, polishing, setting and selling. It’s the blend of ancient and high tech, tradition and daring that results in some of the world’s most desirable pieces – rich, luxurious, unique. In recent times, Graff has created two of the most astonishing watches: the multicoloured “Hallucination”, at $US55m said to be the most valuable watch ever created (introduced in 2014 at Baselworld); and last year’s unveiling, the US$40m “Fascination”, a celebration of white diamonds that is bracelet, ring and watch in one, and as much architecture as art. With more than 50 stores worldwide – including a glamorous new boutique at Melbourne’s Crown Towers and another at Macau’s Studio City – Graff’s clientele are discerning lovers of jewellery. No one knows that better than the atelier’s design director, Anne-Eva Geffroy, who has been with the company since 2010. Here, she shares with Crystal some insights into what is clearly a labour of love. 60 CRYSTAL JUNE 2016

Talk us through some of your recent inspirations. Organic forms are a powerful source. I often draw on the sense of proportion and shape from artists and sculptors and the abundance of beauty, colour and pattern in nature (for example, the Peony and Carissa collections), while our Luna and Sunburst designs are more abstract and reference movement and formations from the world around us. What do you most love about precious gems? Which hold a special appeal for you? Gemstones are a true pleasure to work with – we have styles incorporating rubies, emeralds and sapphires. I particularly enjoy combining them with diamonds. Playfully positioning the layout of the gemstones alongside the finest white diamonds allows the depth of colour in the gems to ignite the fire within the diamonds. What steered you towards high jewellery? When I studied at the École Nationale Superieure des Arts Decoratifs, my design teacher taught me how to adapt and develop my creativity and ideas to any kind of universe and

therefore any type of product. Designing jewellery was the logical progression into the world of luxury for me. The beauty and poetry that emanate from high jewellery have an irresistible a raction. What role does technology play? At Graff we work very closely with the head of technology, accessing the limits to which we can push the design to innovate and improve the se ings, refinement and flexibility of each jewellery piece. But however much 3D printers and computer-aided design tools are able to advance the technology of jewellery design, they will never be able to replace the emotion of the design process and the innate knowledge of how understanding a diamond or gemstone creates stone-led jewellery design. “Fascination” is a masterpiece. Challenges? “Fascination” is not only an incredible one-of-a-kind jewelled bracelet, it is also a timepiece. At the heart of the piece lies an interchangeable element – an exceptionally rare, 38.13ct D flawless pear-shaped diamond, cut and polished by Graff, which can be placed into a bespoke shank and worn as a ring. Our master craftsmen are highly skilled in creating intricate jewels. Nevertheless, it is imperative a jewellery piece transforms effortlessly, while ensuring any clasps or catches that secure individual elements are concealed, protecting the beauty and fluidity of the piece. A Graff jewel must be exquisite from every angle and we worked hard to ensure that the bracelet element of this piece was not only well-articulated and wearable, but also very beautiful. The skills and technical expertise required to enable the “Fascination” to transform are highly specialised and provided the opportunity for our craftsmen to demonstrate their ingenuity and intuition. You did an internship designing accessories at Louis Vuitton. What did you take away from that? During my time at Louis Vui on, I learned that true luxury requires you to study every facet, that every detail must be

considered and finished impeccably, even the small details that are almost invisible to the naked eye. I was taught how to translate the concept of a luxury item into a commercial product, all the while incorporating the instrumental foundations of perfection – the finest materials, innovation with classicism, and functionality with elegance. What is your definition of luxury? Luxury is a test of your liberty. It is the very best of the best, pushing the boundaries of innovation and not conforming to any previous notion of what is possible. What would you say is the Graff philosophy? Graff is highly unique in its use of minimal se ings, which allow the beauty and brilliance of each diamond and gemstone to shine through. When viewing fine jewellery, the eye should move around on a fluid visual journey. We make sure there are no interruptions to this, thus ensuring the design is perfectly proportioned and elegant. Movement is always very important, and the wearability of the jewels, how they sit on the skin and interact with the body is a constant consideration. We work closely with the master craftsmen to ensure that the jewels are brought to life and dance when worn.

Both Crown Melbourne and Macau’s Studio City boast dazzling Graff diamond stores. ⡐⮼㛔䘯ⅈ⹎`惺⸿ ␴㽛斐㕘㾈⼙㯯⛯㚱㟤㉱⣓ᶻ⋾⸿炻↢ⓖ 䱦农斒Ṗ䘬摣椘ˤ

Describe a typical day for you in the design studio. As a designer, each and every day provides an exciting challenge and the opportunity to create a new idea or concept. Diamonds and precious gemstones aren’t made to order, they’re gifts from Mother Nature, each with its own character. Designing jewels for large or rare stones is always the start of a new journey, in which the stone itself provides the inspiration and direction. In the creation of every design we incorporate cu ingedge technology with skills and techniques unchanged for centuries. An important part of the process is the development of prototypes, from plastiline or resin. This enables us to test the piece and also ensure the design is accurately translated by our master craftsmen, who ensure that each magnificent jewel is flawlessly set and that the final jewel is exceptionally fluid and feels beautiful when worn. ●

ġġJUNE 2016 CRYSTAL

红宝石、祖母绿和蓝宝石。我特别喜欢把这些宝石和钻石结合起来。以有趣的设计编排宝石与上等白钻的镶嵌位置，可让深藏于宝石内的颜色点燃钻石的火花。是什么引领你踏入高级珠宝行业? 我在巴黎国家高等装饰艺术学院读书的时候，设计老师教导我如何在所有领域中，都能应用及发展自己的创意和想法，从而能够创作出任何类型的产品。设计珠宝让我走进奢华世界。高级珠宝散发的美态和诗意，都具有令人无法抗拒的吸引力。在珠宝世界中，技术扮演什么角色？在格拉夫，我们与技术部门主管紧密合作，在设计上不断尝试触碰极限，从而创新和改善每款珠宝的镶工、精致度和灵活度。然而，即使3D打印机和电脑辅助工具有助提升珠宝设计技术，也永远无法取代设计过程中的情感，以及上天赋与我们创作宝石珠宝设计时所需的学问与理解。

在种种光芒之中，格拉夫珠宝散发夺目的华彩。品牌的名钻如GOLDEN EMPRESS、PARAGON、GRAFF PINK、STAR OF BOMBAY、IMPERIAL、LESOTHO PROMISE，无论是鲜艳的黄钻、别致的蓝钻、玫瑰粉红钻或无瑕的白钻，都成为了传奇故事。格拉夫珠宝在1960年由劳伦斯．格拉夫（现任主席）创办，他的儿子方施华．格拉夫是现任首席执行官。在创造独一无二的作品时，劳伦斯全程参与，从采购、切割、打磨、镶嵌到销售。品牌将年代久远的瑰宝、高科技、传统和冒险精神融于一炉，缔造出世上最令人梦寐以求的钻饰，尽显富丽、奢华及举世无双的特质。格拉夫近年创造了两枚让世界惊艳的腕表，当中包括色彩斑斓的Hallucination彩钻腕表，价值5,500万美元，据说是历来最昂贵的腕表（于2014年巴塞尔钟表展面世）；另一枚是去年推出、身价 4,000万美元的Fascination白钻腕表，它既是腕表也是手镯，亦可配上环圈当作戒指，兼具建筑与艺术的精髓。格拉夫在全球拥有超过50间专卖店，其中一间位于墨尔本皇冠度假酒店，另一间在澳门的新濠影汇，格拉夫的客户都是对珠宝独具鉴赏力的成功人士。其设计总监Anne-Eva Geffroy于 2010年加入公司，成为塑造格拉夫高级珠宝的幕后推手。她与《Crystal》分享创作过程。 ⋯⋯ 请为我们介绍最近的灵感来源。有机形态带来澎湃的灵感。我经常会采用艺术家和雕塑家对于比例和形状的感觉，以及大自然中数之不尽的美感、色彩和图案作为创作灵感（Peony和Carissa系列就是例子）；而Luna和Sunburst系列的设计则比较抽象，是参考我们周遭世界的活动与构造。贵重宝石让你神往的地方是什么？哪些宝石特别吸引你？从事与宝石有关的工作，实在令人愉悦。我们以不同风格搭配

Above: The “Nuage” statement pieces: take your pick – rubies and diamonds, or sapphires and diamonds? Below: “Rhythm” necklace. 上图：Nuage系列主要款式：红宝石配钻石，或蓝宝石配钻石，你喜欢那一款？下图：Rhythm项炼。

Fascination是非常杰出的作品，创作时遇上什么挑战？ Fascination是美妙至极、独一无二的珠宝手镯，它也是一枚腕表，中间有一个活动元素，是一颗很罕见的38.13克拉D色无瑕梨形钻石，由格拉夫切割及打磨，配上订制的环圈即成为一枚戒指。我们的工艺大师拥有创造复杂珠宝的高超技术。尽管如此，为了完美呈现整个设计的美感和流畅性，我们采用更精细的，确保肉眼不会看到镶嵌用的搭扣或嵌爪。格拉夫珠宝必须从所有角度看起来都很精致，使人们一看到这枚腕表就知道它可变为手镯，而且适合佩戴，也美得一见难忘。打造Fascination所需要的技巧和技术非常专业，让我们的工匠得以展示他们的独创性和天份。你曾经在路易威登实习设计配件，得到什么经验？在路易威登实习让我学会真正的奢华须面面俱到，要考虑每个细节，手工完美无瑕，连肉眼几乎看不到的小细节也要留意。我学习到如何将奢侈品的概念变成商品，将达致完美的重要基础丶最顶级材质以至创新与古典丶功能与优雅，全部融为一体。你如何定义奢华？奢华是考验你的自主性。奢华是最好之中的最好，将创新推至极限，不顺从于前人认为任何可行的概念。你认为格拉夫的哲学是什么？格拉夫有一点非常独特，就是使用极少的镶座，让每颗钻石和宝石都能彻底展现美态和光芒。当我们欣赏高级珠宝的时候，眼睛仿佛在进行一场流动的视觉之旅，我们要确保视觉不被打断，因此在设计上必须比例完美而优雅。如何表现动感很重要，还须顾及珠宝的可佩戴性、它们在皮肤上的形态、如何与身体互动，这些都是考虑的重点。我们与工匠大师密切合作，确保戴在身上的珠宝栩栩如生、生动灵活。请描述你在格拉夫设计工作室最平常的一天。作为设计师，每天都有一些让人兴奋的挑战，以及创造新意念或概念的机会。钻石和宝石是大自然的礼物，是无法定制的，每一颗都独具特色。当设计以大颗或稀有宝石制作的珠宝首饰，有如展开一趟新旅程，我们会从宝石本身寻找灵感和方向。从事每一款设计时，我们都会运用最先进的科技，同时结合数百年来累积的技巧和技术。其中一个重要过程是以橡皮泥或树脂制作原型，我们可以藉此测试这款设计的效果，以及确保工匠大师能否准确无误地根据设计制作作品，而工匠则须确保每一款华丽珠宝都是无瑕地镶嵌，佩戴起来流畅自然，感觉美丽绝伦。●

Australia’s warm and inviting hospitality is legendary. More estates are open to visitors, and winemakers are responding with opportunities to meet them in person, to show off their vineyards, to help them experience the soil, sky, techniques and personalities that go into making a bottle of vintage wine. Wine lovers are taking note. Our wines are fetching higher prices and winning the hearts of the aficionados. Now is a great time to hit the road and explore Australian wine. Here’s where to start.

要欣赏澳大利亚迷人的风景，其中一个最好方法是进行葡萄酒之旅。不论是在气候寒冷或温暖的地区，由农村至海滨，甚至在城市的周边范围都遍布葡萄园和酒庄。由于澳大利亚幅员广大，所以它的65个酒区每个都可自成一国，而且能为旅客带来不同体验。在葡萄酒区可感受到澳大利亚人热情好客的传统。愈来愈多酒庄开放给旅客游览，酿酒商也把握商机，亲自与客人会面、带客人参观葡萄园，解释种植葡萄和酿制陈年葡萄酒所需的土壤、气候、技术和人手。葡萄酒爱好者当然乐在其中。因此，澳大利亚葡萄酒的价格得以颷升，亦深得爱酒人士的欢心。那么，何不坐言起行，起程往澳大利亚开展探索葡萄酒之旅﹖

VICTORIA 维多利亚 MORNINGTON PENINSULA 摩宁顿半岛

A favourite playground for Melburnians, just an hour’s drive south-east of the city, the Mornington Peninsula has an abundance of wine and food. Sea breezes and a balmy maritime climate moderate the extremes that global warming has unleashed on other parts of Victoria. This makes the region particularly kind to the sensitive pinot noir grape, while its chardonnay produces styles that balance elegance with depth. Yabby Lake vineyard, Main Ridge Estate and Ocean Eight are standout destinations; the single vineyard wines of Kooyong particularly distinctive.

位于墨尔本东南方仅一个小时车程的摩宁顿半岛，有极丰富的美酒和美食选择。摩宁顿半岛拥有温和的海洋气候，与维多利亚其他地区不同，气候没有受全球暖化影响而变得太极端，令这里特别适合种植矜贵的黑皮诺，而这儿出产的霞多丽则在优雅与醇厚之间取得恰到好处的平衡。最出色的葡萄园包括雅碧湖、主山脊酒庄和 Ocean Eight。当中又以库扬的单一葡萄园出品特别出众。

Thanks to a great diversity of sites, from the warmer valley floor to the cool heights of the Upper Yarra, no other region can claim to have mastered all four of the world’s most important varieties – cabernet, shiraz, pinot noir and chardonnay – as confidently as the Yarra. The region boasts such legendary estates as Yeringberg, Wantirna and De Bortoli; and the Mount Mary Quintet is proof that a Bordeaux blend can define the pinnacle of the Yarra.

One of the best ways to be enveloped by Australia’s myriad landscapes is via its wine trails. From the rural to the coastal to the almost urban, from the cold-climate wineries to the temperate, the size of the continent means that each of Australia’s 65 wine regions is like a discrete country. And so what those areas offer visitors is blissfully unique – from biodynamic wines, to award-winning shiraz and unique dry semillons.

KING VALLEY 国王谷 In the alpine foothills of north-eastern Victoria, the King Valley is a region notable for cool-climate winegrowing. The local Italian community has had great success with Italian varieties, white and red, and the region has emerged as the national capital of the sparkling prosecco style. It’s an ideal stop on the way to the ski fields, or three hours out of Melbourne, on the road to Canberra. Look for such renowned names as Pizzini and Brown Brothers, with their Patricia Pinot Noir Chardonnay Brut sourced from the fabled Whitlands vineyard.

The Barossa is Australia’s most famous and revered wine land. Shiraz vineyards have graced the idyllic hillsides since the 1850s, while the sweeping high country of Eden Valley is home to refreshing riesling. Not to mention that it has one of the most historic and distinctive food cultures in the land. No surprise, then, that Australia’s biggest wine brands and many of its tiniest, most-celebrated boutiques have also found their home here. Henschke Hill of Grace hails from the Barossa, as does the majority of Penfolds Grange. Just an hour’s drive from Adelaide are the historic cellar doors of Seppeltsfield, Yalumba and Peter Lehmann.

芭萝莎谷是澳大利亚最著名及备受推崇的葡萄酒区。自1850年代起，已在优美的山坡上种植西拉子，而位处高山的伊顿谷则种植清新的雷司令。在这儿还可体验世界其中一个历史最悠久和最具特色的饮食文化。难怪不论大小的澳大利亚葡萄酒品牌也选择在这里生产。例如来自芭萝莎谷的翰斯科神恩山，以及奔富大部分的格兰许。从阿得莱德驾车仅一小时便可到达历史悠久的诗宝特菲尔德、御兰堡和彼得利蒙等酒窖。

CLARE VALLEY 克莱尔谷 Just two hours north of Adelaide, the Clare Valley boasts a rural country feel, perfect for a relaxed wine escape. This elevated plateau thrusts its vineyards to cool altitudes, making for riesling of crunchy acidity and structured spine. Red wines thrive here, too, with deep, full-bodied shiraz vying with varietally distinctive and longageing cabernet as the region’s flagship red. Jeffrey Grosset’s Polish Hill Riesling and Gaia Cabernet are the Clare’s modern benchmarks, but make time to enjoy tastings at Mount Horrocks Wines, Wines by KT, Tim Adams Wines and Skillogalee Wines (and stay for lunch).

NEW SOUTH WALES 新南威尔士 ORANGE 奥兰芝 Orange defines itself by its proximity to the heavens, with all of its vineyards above 600m in altitude. It’s this elevation that charges the region’s thriving food culture and a wine industry that’s beginning to come of age. With many of its vineyards dating from the early 1990s, this is a region where vines and winemakers are maturing into a comfortable and confident sense of regional identity. Bitterly cold nights make for zesty sauvignon blanc and tangy yet rich chardonnay, while shiraz displays its hallmark pepper and spice notes. A three-hour drive from Sydney, Orange is the ideal long weekend escape. Seek out Printhie Wines and Philip Shaw Wines.

奥兰芝的特色是所有葡萄园均位于600米以上的高地，它的地理环境是推动此地美食文化和葡萄酒业渐趋成熟的主因。区内不少葡萄园均始于1990年代初，无论是葡萄的质素或酿酒技术都日渐成熟，并且越发能代表这区域的个性。区内苦寒的晚上造就出芳香的长相思和浓烈醇厚的霞多丽，而西拉子则带点点辛香。奥兰芝距悉尼约三小时车程，是欢渡长周末的好去处。建议前往 Printhie Wines 和 Philip Shaw Wines。

Australia’s most-visited wine region has in recent years stepped up to a new level of sophistication in its cellar door and dining experiences, while embracing the classic and elegant wine styles that have defined its identity as one of the country’s most historic regions. Hunter semillon is unique in the wine world, bone-dry and zesty in its youth, charged with remarkable endurance for great longevity. The region’s shiraz is likewise restrained; the perfect foil to the more powerful reds of warmer regions. Keith Tulloch Wine, Lake’s Folly, Brokenwood Wines and Tyrrell’s Wines are cellar doors not to miss, and the set of McWilliam’s Mount Pleasant single vineyard shirazes represents the epitome of old meets new in the Hunter.

A mere 20 minutes from the state capital, the Adelaide Hills is a fairytale landscape of open spaces, sprawling vineyards and inviting vistas. A buzz of progress in the Hills has seen an explosion of cellar doors, accommodation and restaurants in the past decade, placing it high on the list of must-visit Australian wine regions. Zesty sauvignon blanc has long been the regional hero, but chardonnay is arguably its topperforming variety today. Shiraz and cabernet are increasingly emerging as highlights, and in the right vineyard, even pinot noir can shine. The Lane, Shaw + Smith and Deviation Road are the most worthy cellar doors, while Ashton Hills Estate Pinot Noir sets a benchmark for the region.

Just an hour’s flight from Melbourne, Tasmania is Australia’s most exciting frontier of cool-climate winemaking. The Tamar Valley surrounding Launceston and Pipers River in the state’s north-east are particularly cool and wet, making these areas especially well-suited to sparkling wine production. Four of the country’s top fizz labels have found their home here: House of Arras, Jansz, Kreglinger and Clover Hill. All are worthy destinations, as is the cellar door of Josef Chromy for both its restaurant and still wines. Pinot noir and chardonnay shine as still wines in Tasmania, as do aromatic whites, with riesling showing particular promise in sweet wine styles. ●

Few seafoods capture the imagination and polarise the palate as much as the oyster. In Australia, these are the three kings.

少有海鲜像生蚝般能勾起人遐想，并为味蕾带来极致体验。以下是澳大利亚出口的三大生蚝品种。

Sydney Rock Oyster 悉尼岩蚝 A native east coast oyster, the Sydney or rock oyster grows in the intertidal waterways along 1500km of coastline from Moreton Bay in south-east Queensland to Lakes Entrance in eastern Victoria. It is one of the world’s great eating oysters. Rock oysters from the north coast of New South Wales are best in the summer months and those from the NSW south coast are best in winter.

REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT AUSTRALIA WHYALLA AND EYRE PENINSULA (RDAWEP) AND RANDY LARCOMBE

悉尼生蚝或岩蚝来自澳大利亚东海岸，沿着昆士兰东南岸的莫莱顿湾，至维多利亚东部的莱克斯恩特伦斯湖口区的涨退潮交界海岸线生长，全长约1,500公里。它是世上公认最美味的食用生蚝之一。一般来说，来自新南威尔士北海岸的岩蚝夏季最肥美，而来自新南威尔士南岸的生蚝，则在冬季时食用最佳。 SHAPE Shape can vary from a medium-deep to shallow cup, reflecting where the oyster grows, whether estuary, lake or inlet. TASTE Characterised by its deep, rich and sweet flavour, it has a lasting mineral taste. Depending on its growing region, the rock oyster can exhibit notes of iodine, seaweed or smooth tannins. BEST WITH? The robust flavor of the rock oyster is perfect with a tight, crisp white wine such as a semillon or Champagne. 形状从中等深度到浅杯状不等，反映了生蚝的生长环境─河口、湖泊或入海口。味道肉厚而嫰滑，味道鲜甜，进食後口腔留下一股淡淡的矿物味。根据生长的地区，岩蚝会带有碘、海藻或顺滑的单宁味道。搭配佳酿岩蚝味道浓郁，与紧实清新的白葡萄酒，如赛来雄或香槟都是绝配。

Pacific Oyster

Opposite page: Rock oysters on the bucket list. Above: Pacific and Angassi oysters, freshly shucked. 对页：肥美的岩蚝；上图：味道鲜美的太平洋生蚝和阿格斯生蚝

太平洋生蚝是澳大利亚产量最丰富的品种，生长在塔斯马尼亚、南澳大利亚和新南威尔士的部分地区。太平洋生蚝在较冷的月份生长，于夏季产卵。根据生长地区，太平洋生蚝通常在3月至12月初收成。

southern Australia: across southern NSW, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia. Honeymoon Bay (NSW), St Helens (Tas), and Coffin Bay (SA) all have notable crops.

SHAPE Typically, the Pacific oyster is large with a spiky shell and clean white interior. TASTE It is characterised by a fresh, clean and salty flavour – just like being rolled in the surf. Texture is smooth. BEST WITH? The Pacific oysters’ simple brininess works well with riesling, pinot gris and even chablis.

这是澳大利亚的原生品种，又称为平生蚝，产量十分稀少。阿格斯生蚝有时会被误称为“澳大利亚贝隆”，据说早在6,000 年前已由当地的土著养殖。阿格斯生蚝生长于澳大利亚南部，横跨新南威尔士南部、维多利亚、塔斯马尼亚和南澳大利亚等地。新南威尔士的蜜月湾、塔斯马尼亚的圣海伦，以及南澳的科芬湾都是以出产阿格斯生蚝而享负盛名。

形状典型的太平洋生蚝体型较大、外壳有一尖端、内壳色泽洁白。味道清鲜而带有海水咸味— 感觉就像正在冲浪，口感爽滑。搭配佳酿带有单纯海水味的太平洋生蚝与雷司令、灰皮诺，甚至夏布利等白葡萄酒是完美配搭。

SHAPE A flat shell and dense, full meat. TASTE If the Pacific oyster is the sauvignon blanc of oysters and the rock is the chardonnay, the Angassi is the shiraz. It is big, rich and flavourful with an almost meaty taste and texture. BEST WITH? Can be enjoyed with a fuller-bodied chardonnay or a light pinot noir.

太平洋生蚝

Angassi 阿格斯生蚝

The most prolifically farmed variety in Australia, the Pacific oyster is grown in Tasmania, South Australia and some areas of NSW. The Pacific oyster prefers cooler months, spawning in summer. It is generally available from March to early December.

The highly prized and quite scarce Angassi, or flat oyster, is a native to Australia. Sometimes mistakenly referred to as the “Australian belon”, it is said to have been farmed by Indigenous communities up to 6,000 years ago. The Angassi grows in

形状阿格斯生蚝的外型平坦，肉质结实肥美。味道如果把太平洋生蚝比作长相思白葡萄酒、岩蚝是霞多丽，而阿格斯生蚝应该就是西拉子。阿格斯生蚝肉厚、味道浓郁，肉质富有口感及嚼劲。搭配佳酿阿格斯生蚝适合搭配酒体饱满的霞多丽白葡萄酒，或是较为轻盈的黑皮诺红葡萄酒。

rench dramatist Savinien de Cyrano de Bergerac once said that “a large nose is the mark of a witty, courteous, affable, generous and oyster-loving man”. Clearly being an oyster-loving man was a mark of distinction. Certainly, there is no other seafood that captures the imagination, polarises the palate and causes as much consternation among buyers, consumers and critics as the oyster. According to the Food and Agriculture Organisation, worldwide production of oysters is some 45,000 million dozen, a market value of around A$3.5 billion. The popularity of oysters has fluctuated over time, but they have never gone out of fashion among seafood aficionados who recognise that the oyster is a true reflection of not only the variety and season of its marine terroir, but of the grower’s husbandry skills. There is no greater influence on the final eating quality of an oyster than the farmer’s skills. An oyster is nowhere near as robust as it appears. Susceptible to water temperature changes, rain and tides, the oyster will eat or spawn depending on the conditions in which it lives. It demands constant attention. A good farmer has an intimate relationship with his crop from the very beginning. The condition of the oysters and their water must be constantly monitored, making sure they are kept in the best condition, growing constantly without spawning. The average oyster is handled up to 10 times during its lifespan, which lasts from 18 months (Pacific) to four years 90 CRYSTAL JUNE 2016

(Angassi) depending on the species. They are handled to ensure consistent grading in the crop. Thinning out those not performing allows each oyster more access to the available food in the water. Storage, too, affects the final eating quality of an oyster. The fragile oyster consumes glycogen or body fat to survive from the moment it is removed from its watery home. The more oysters stress, the more they consume. And the more glycogen they consume, the quicker they lose condition, which affects the sweetness and mouth-feel of the oyster. Rock oysters should be stored in a humid environment between 12˚ and 14˚C; Pacifics and Angassis at a cooler 3-5˚C. They should be scrubbed, cleaned and chilled before opening. For the ultimate experience, buy an oyster knife and learn to open your own. An oyster opened for longer than 20 minutes loses its freshness – those lively defining flavours that reflect the waters from which it comes. Pre-opened oysters are generally washed in tap water, which further removes flavour and flattens texture. For me, serving oysters as they are, perhaps with an acidic accompaniment such as lime, eschallot and red wine vinegar or verjuice, is the ultimate experience. ● Seafood consultant John Susman is head judge of the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW’s Sydney Royal Oyster Competition.

法国知名剧作家西哈诺．德．贝尔热拉克曾经说过：“大鼻子是幽默、有礼、和蔼、慷慨，以及热爱生蚝者的标志。” 显然，爱吃生蚝的人非泛泛之辈。没有其他海鲜能像生蚝般勾起人的遐想、为味蕾带来极致的体验，还会为采购商、消费者和食评家带来惊喜。根据联合国粮食及农业组织的数据显示，全球生蚝年产量约450亿打，市值约35亿澳元。多年来，生蚝的受欢迎程度几经起跌，但始终受到海鲜爱好者的青睐，他们认为生蚝不单反映品种及生长海域的季节变化，还可看出养殖者的技巧。其实，生蚝的味道和质量主要来自养殖的方法。生蚝远不及外表那样强壮，极易受水温变化、雨水和潮汐影响，生活环境足以左右其进食和繁殖。生蚝需要无时无刻的细心呵护，好的养殖者与自己的生蚝关系密切，从捕捉幼苗那一刻起，到孵化、出售，全部亲力亲为。养殖者必须随时监测生蚝和水的状况，确保两者都保持在最佳状态。每颗生蚝寿命从18个月（太平洋生蚝）到四年（阿格斯生蚝）不等，因品种而异，但平均会经过筛选和处理十次之多。重点在保持质量一致，去除长得不好的生蚝，让健壮的生蚝吸收更多食物。储存也是影响生蚝质量的重要因素。生蚝非常脆弱，从水里采收之后，必须消耗本身的糖原质或脂肪才能生存。压力越大，消耗越多，消耗的糖原质越多，就会越快失去清甜度和口感。岩蚝应储存在摄氏12度至14度的潮湿环境中；太平洋生蚝和阿格斯生蚝则需储存在摄氏3至5度之间。开生蚝前应先擦掉污泥，然后冷藏。若想尝到极致的鲜味，最好学会自己开。生蚝打开超过 20分钟就会失去原有的鲜度。还有预先打开的生蚝通常会用自来水冲洗，会削弱了生蚝原有的味道和口感。我喜欢生蚝的原汁原味，或许配点青柠汁、红葱、红葡萄酒醋或带有酸味的果汁，这样就能体验极致的滋味。 ● John Susman 是新南威尔士皇家农业协会举办的悉尼皇家生蚝竞赛的裁判长。皇冠的大厨爱如何品尝生蚝？请翻阅58页
