DRIVING LUXURY. THE NEW BMW 7 SERIES.

The future of luxury is both a bold statement and an unforgettable experience.

It champions the artisan and the architect – placing equal value on expressions of opulence and marvels of technology. Descended from a long line of grandeur but with the DNA of an athlete at its core, it only hints at the power within and is willing to wield it with authority and precision. It places a symphony of innovation at your ďŹ ngertips and lets you conduct it with grace and poise. This is the most articulate expression of luxury the world has ever seen. And it is the most alluring vision of the future imaginable.

65 LITTLE LUXURIES 细致奢华

82

When you live in the fast lane, there is something utterly seductive about luxury that has been centuries in the making – those finest of trinkets whose final shape is the result of dreaming, polishing, perfecting – something considered deeply from all angles.

In this issue we take a deep dive into the world of desirable deluxe. First, the German artisans practising the traditional engraving technique of guilloché that, with rich layers of colour-saturated enamels, brought Fabergé objets to life, and today bring eclectic elegance and status to watches and jewels.

Elizabeth Taylor knew a thing or two about heirloom jewellery, as Richard Burton would have testified. Glimpse the pieces that sealed their tryst and satisfied the lust of other Hollywood divas – past and present – in a glittering exhibition of Bulgari gems at the National Gallery of Victoria.

We introduce one of the world’s most expensive Cognacs, a spirit whose history is an evolution of both eaux de vie and joie de vivre. But just as showstopping is the box it comes in, individually numbered and signed by Israeli artist and industrial designer Arik Levy.

If you had to nominate the couture, watch, building or car that was as exquisite on the outside as it is on the inside, what would you pick? We asked Bentley’s design director Stefan Sielaff, who had some surprising answers.

And when it comes to trailblazing architecture, we find a new benchmark in luxury residential living right on Crown’s doorstep. Step inside!

PERTH 珀斯

RISING IN THE WEST Perth’s reputation as a hot new international destination is about to get even hotter. With Crown Towers Perth ready to open for business on December 1, excitement in Western Australia’s capital is palpable. This new addition to the Crown portfolio is expected to transform Perth’s tourism sector by offering a level of accommodation exceeding international standards.

A clever juxtaposition of scale and intimacy is the hallmark of this peerless property. Crown Towers Perth will feature a multi-tiered, resort-style pool area, private enclaves and sensational views of the iconic Swan River. The interior design vision will embrace bespoke furniture and custom lighting. On level 15, the sublime Crystal Club private lounge and cocktail bar with panoramic views, designed

by Blainey North, will be an exclusive oasis for Crown guests.

18 CRYSTAL SEPTEMBER 2016

Says Crown Hotels Perth Executive General Manager Andrew Cairns, “Perth has been waiting for something like this, and it’s not far away. Crown Towers Perth will transform the accommodation sector in Perth, offering a level of luxury not available at this point in time, and raise it to a truly international standard. The asset we will have is world-class and will undoubtedly encourage even more people to visit Perth.”

Overall, he says, “the level of workmanship is phenomenal. Every time you walk into a room, you see something new that transforms the whole space. The proportions of the building are impressive.

Its scale and public areas have this grand feeling, yet there are also intimate places. The play on that has been well done.”

The aspect and layout of the guest rooms take full advantage

The pièce de résistance is the two-storey Chairman’s Villa, with full glass ceilings, balcony, grand staircase and butler service, a luxurious offering that can be yours for A$21,000 a night.

If Cairns had to nominate his favourite spots to relax?

“For me, the Crystal Club and The Waiting Room, which is the lobby bar area; a play on a Miami design, it has a real resort feel to it. But ultimately you’d be looking at the pool experience. That’s where you want to be.” crowntowersperth.com.au

FINE DINING, FINE COCKTAILS 佳肴美酒

NEVER TOO LATE FOR DINNER 晚餐约会

20 CRYSTAL SEPTEMBER 2016

Extending the theme to the walls are shadowy medieval feast backdrops and installations such as the stunning kinetic spit roast that has all the intrigue and ingenuity of a watch complication. It’s an interpretation of the first automated spit-roast mechanism, invented by the British clockmakers of Greenwich.

Of the à la carte menu – meat fruit, salamagundy, frumenty, umbles – the offerings are elegant, fresh, intense, modern and clever, making much of the best local produce providores have to offer.

There is much to choose from. Try the slow-cooked pork belly, chicken with grilled onion emulsion or snapper in cider. Or perhaps steak – Black Angus dry-aged for a minimum of 28 days – cooked over charcoal embers, served with the original form of ketchup (mushroom ketchup) with fries, mash or triple-cooked chips on the side. Or try Rice & Flesh, a saffron risotto with lightly curried kangaroo tail, inspired by a manuscript dating back to 1390.

And … there’s a Hestonesque ice-cream trolley – you can’t quite escape the Blumenthal theatre.

Dinner by Heston Blumenthal opens for lunch on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and nightly for dinner. The Cocktail Bar opens from 10pm daily to non-diners and from 5pm for patrons. Crown Towers Melbourne. (03) 9292 5779. crownmelbourne.com.au/dinnerbyheston

MARK ROPER

When the Fat Duck pop-up departed Crown Towers late last year, Dinner by Heston Blumenthal passed it in the corridor, making Melbourne just the second city to play host to this extraordinary restaurant.

As it approaches its first birthday, and now a permanent fixture at Crown, Dinner has become a Melbourne mainstay.

It is a place for lunch, dinner and cocktails that will challenge your senses.

Dinner offers everything from special-occasion dining at the Chef’s Table (served by the chef, no less, with your own sommelier), to à la carte offerings in the main dining room, to steak and chips with a glass of wine when you just want brasserie-style casual after work.

“So smooth is the service, so glam the dining room, so solid and flat-out flavoursome the menu, so deftly democratic the wine list that it’s hard to remember Dinner is a new restaurant,” wrote the editors of the Australian Gourmet Traveller national restaurant guide in singling it out as one of their New Restaurant of the Year nominees in August. “It’s a big, grown-up breath of fresh air.”

And what a fascinating experience Dinner is. Run with the precision of an intensive care unit, under the auspices of Executive Head Chef Ashley Palmer-Watts, this ode to English cookbooks resurrects recipes from between the 13th and 19th centuries, everything from creations of the royal chefs of King Richard II to Lewis Carroll’s fanciful feasts.

VIP TREATMENT 贵宾礼遇

A BIRD’S-EYE VIEW 居高临下 Seeing is believing and one of the best ways to see the iconic sights and get your bearings in Melbourne is on a scenic 30-minute flight over the city in the Crown-liveried Microflite helicopter, taking in the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the Royal Botanic Gardens, the Grand Prix track, the Albert Park track, Albert Park Lake and the beach boxes at Brighton.

Alternatively, you and a guest can be whizzed off to the Levantine Hill Estate winery, just 20 minutes away, to sample some of the Yarra Valley’s finest drops. At The Signature Restaurant, part of Ezard@Levantine Hill Estate, you’ll be seated at table 53 (usually reserved for the winemaker), coming back down to earth with Beluga caviar, a glass of 2010 Late Disgorged Methode Traditionelle bubbles and a five-course tasting menu.

Both flights are tailored especially for Crown and part of two exclusive packages offered to guests of Crown Towers. Crown took delivery of its bespoke helicopter, one of a fleet of 16 European Airbus helicopters, in December 2015. It has a leather interior, noise-cancelling headphones, air-conditioning and boasts excellent visibility from all seats.

Microflite Helicopter Services operate the largest fleet in Victoria. Their red helicopters have become a familiar sight and are synonymous with luxury charter flights.

参观墨尔本的最佳方法是乘坐印有皇冠度假村标志的Microflite直 升机，在空中俯瞰市内各个地标，在30分钟的旅程当中，可欣赏 墨尔本板球场丶皇家植物园丶阿尔伯特公园径丶格兰披治大奖赛 赛道丶阿尔伯特湖和布莱顿海滩的泳屋。 你亦可选择与一位宾客飞到黎凡特山产酒区，只需20分钟， 就可抵达目的地，参观酒庄并品尝雅拉河谷的佳酿。在属於黎 凡特山区伊扎德的The Signature餐厅用膳，你会被带到第53号桌 （通常这张餐桌是预留给酿酒师的），美食包括鲟鱼鱼子酱配一 杯2010年Late Disgorged Methode Traditionelle传统汽泡酒，以及五 道菜的尝味餐单。 以上是专为皇冠宾客量身打造的直升机之旅，是皇冠度假酒 店两个尊贵住宿套餐的部分项目。皇冠向欧洲空中客车直升机订 制了16架特别设计的直升机，去年12月，已接收首架直升机，备 有全真皮机舱丶静音耳筒及空调设施，而每个座位更可清楚饱览 窗外怡人的景色。 Microflite Helicopter Services是维多利亚省最大的直升机队， 其红色机身已成为市内最为人熟悉的标志，亦可比美豪华的私 人飞机。 请登入 crowntowersmelbourne.com.au 网站浏览特別住宿套票內容

FROM ITS IMPRESSIVE MIX OF HERITAGE AND CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE TO ITS ABUNDANCE OF OPEN GREEN SPACES, THOSE WHO LIVE IN MELBOURNE UNDERSTAND WHY AUSTRALIA’S SECONDBIGGEST METROPOLIS CONSISTENTLY RANKS AS ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST LIVEABLE CITIES.

26 CRYSTAL SEPTEMBER 2016

Ask Melburnians about the beauty and benefits of their chosen city and invariably they come up with a list of impeccable credentials.

It’s a gourmet city with a profusion of world-class restaurants and edgy up-and-coming venues; a global fashion capital where iconic international brands rub shoulders with local designers, making it also a top shopping spot.

It’s a vibrant cultural hub, whether you’re a comedy fan, an art or theatre lover or a balletomane. And it’s internationally recognised as an unparalleled sporting city where people flock to major annual events. Cricket or football at the famous MCG, anyone? Or how about the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park? Surely, 2016’s memorable moment was watching Germany’s Angelique Kerber steal centre-court glory from world No.1 Serena Williams at the Australian Open?

Melburnians revel in its pervading mix of prestige and personality, evident in thriving laneways from which the aroma of single-origin coffee wafts, courtesy of the many cafes nestled between specialist stores and quirky bars. They discuss their favourite cycle and walking tracks in this most navigable city that encompasses 480ha of pristine parks and gardens.

The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) Global Liveability Index adopted a bigger-picture, more practical approach when it named Melbourne the world’s most liveable city for the sixth year running in 2016 – it has been one of the top three cities since the index began a decade ago. The EIU awarded Melbourne perfect scores in healthcare, education and infrastructure, outranking Sydney in areas of stability, culture and environment. The report noted that as global instability grows, cities in the top tier presented few, if any, challenges to residents’ lifestyles.

It’s little wonder, then, that Melbourne is attracting investors, new residents, and both national and global businesses.

According to the global real estate property consultants, Knight Frank, the headquarters of five of Australia’s top 10

MARK ROPER

companies – BHP Billiton, ANZ, CSL, NAB and Telstra – are based in Melbourne, while some of the world’s most innovative technology brands including Amazon, Facebook and LinkedIn have also moved in.

The southern city is tapping into an international innercity living imperative. The allure of its liveability has brought steady growth in the number of people residing in Melbourne’s CBD, with almost 30,000 now living in the city itself.

Only 10 years ago, the Australian residential investment market was dominated by local buyers, now it is increasingly attracting offshore investors, especially Ultra High Net Worth Individuals looking to invest in homes away from home.

According to New World Wealth data, published in the Knight Frank 2016 Global Wealth Report, the population of UHNWIs living in Melbourne increased by 135 per cent between 2005 and 2015; compared with Dubai (111 per cent) and Singapore (95 per cent) and way ahead of other cosmopolitan centres such as Hong Kong, London, Paris, New York, LA and Vancouver. Indeed, prime residential property markets in the Antipodes generally have performed strongly.

Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland all recorded double-digit annual price growth in 2015, reports Knight Frank.

Todd Nisbet, Crown’s Executive Vice President, who moved to Melbourne from Las Vegas six years ago, has discovered an appealing quality in the southern city that’s overlooked in official reports: the Australian character.

“Australia’s got a fantastic welcoming nature,” Nisbet says.

“There’s a sense of inclusiveness. The ability to fit in is quite unique. I don’t feel like an outsider and my kids probably now feel more Australian than they do American.”

Nisbet echoes the sentiments of many who view Australia, in comparative terms, as “a very safe place, with a great environment – blue sky, clean air, clean water”.

Melbourne truly is one of the world’s most liveable cities, Nisbet says. “It has great infrastructure, convenience, an

Says Baker, “The ambition is that this is the sort of building you can move into without having to throw everything away in order to live the ultimate minimal lifestyle. You’ve got storage, wine cellar, proper cupboard space. You can live elegantly and beautifully – and have somewhere to put things.”

Research has been meticulous, says Knight Frank’s One Queensbridge director Erin van Tuil, right down to the expectations of “new city believers” around wardrobe space and ceiling height.

The design, subject to planning approvals, embraces three interlocking sculptural forms; it draws on glass and light artistry, an articulated façade, and geometric and ripple patterns to create cohesion throughout. The top of the 325m building will be a public space destined to become an iconic Melbourne address.

“The rooftop experience will be extraordinary,” says Baker.

Crown’s Todd Nisbet believes One Queensbridge will be the perfect amalgam of residence and permanent holiday. Lifestyle with room service with Melbourne as a living backyard.

“Some of the people interested in investing in our residences are people who travel, who stay two or three months in great hotels, visit great places. But when they come back they miss the hospitality – no-one is bringing them a cup of tea or a club sandwich. So we thought it would be fantastic to leverage our hospitality in a residential setting. You become part of the Crown family and tap into our concierge service, tap into our food and beverage offerings, the housekeeping, room service, all at your fingertips.”

One Queensbridge is planned to be a new and unique lifestyle offering for someone who wants all the experience of living in the CBD, coupled with security, safety, being part of a 24/7 complex like Crown, but also being in an exclusive neighbourhood. In other words, you have the best of both worlds: exclusivity and privacy, and lifestyle on-demand in the world’s most liveable city. ● One Queensbridge is subject to planning approvals; discover more about luxury living in One Queensbridge at onequeensbridge.com.au

ease of getting around. It’s incredible that you have so many fantastic offerings – parks, entertainment, galleries literally at the doorstep of a city. It’s such a unique situation to see the sporting complexes of Olympic Park, the Botanic Gardens, the National Gallery [of Victoria], Hamer Hall and the State Theatre and Melbourne Recital Centre, all in such close proximity.”

Adding to Melbourne’s connectivity will be the A$10.9 billion Melbourne Metro Rail line (work begins next year), which includes a 9km twin rail tunnel running from Melbourne’s south under the city centre through to the University of Melbourne and the health precinct in the city’s north.

The Fisherman’s Bend industrial precinct is an urban renewal project akin to Sydney’s Barangaroo development and global benchmarks such as London’s Nine Elms/Battersea and Kings Cross and the 400-hectare Innovation District in Boston, claims Knight Frank.

The big news in inner-city living in Melbourne is where the CBD and Southbank intersect, the precinct that Crown Resorts transformed 20 years ago from an industrial area into the pulse of Melbourne lifestyle, with its hotel towers, entertainment facilities, river walk and top-drawer shopping.

Set to change the skyline and the way people live is One Queensbridge, a new addition to the Crown Resorts portfolio and a joint venture with property developers and interior construction specialists Schiavello Group. It will comprise a six-star, 388-room luxury hotel that will contribute to the city’s evolution as a worldclass tourist destination; along with luxury residences that set a new standard in Melbourne.

UK architects Wilkinson Eyre won an international competition to design One Queensbridge. The brief: timeless, elegant, iconic Melbourne. Director Paul Baker, impressed by the vibrancy and character of the city, has promised “lightness, geometry, cleanness of line, simplicity and purity”.

The living will be elegant, spacious and will evoke the world’s most desirable addresses. Think One Hyde Park in London, and New York’s One57 and 432 Park Avenue.

传统和当代建筑楼房融洽地并列在一起，开 阔的绿色空间触目皆是，墨尔本的居民深明 为什么这个澳大利亚第二大都会能够持续多 年成为全世界最适宜居住的城市。 要是你向一位墨尔本居民提问，这个城 市美在哪里？好在哪里？他一定能够列举出 一连串的例证。 比如，墨尔本是美食之城，满街都是世 界级水准的餐厅和概念创新、前卫的餐馆； 它也是时尚之都，国际品牌和本土设计师的 小店毗邻而立，缔造了绝佳的购物热点。墨 尔本也是个充满活力的艺术中心，无论是喜 剧、画展、戏剧或是芭蕾舞，你都能够找到 想看的演出和展览。它也是国际公认的体育 城市，每年在这里举行的大型比赛，吸引人 群蜂拥而来。你可以在著名的墨尔本板球场 观赏板球赛或足球比赛；或是在阿尔伯特公 园观看一级方程式大奖赛。当然，2016年最 值得铭记的一刻，就是在澳大利亚网球公开 赛中，德国球手安立奎‧科贝尔击败世界排 名第一的塞蕾娜‧威廉姆斯，成功夺魁。 墨尔本居民沐浴于尊贵和个性化合二为 一的生活之中，在四通八达的巷道中咖啡店 林立，四周弥漫着单品咖啡的香味，店子旁 富特色的专卖店和装饰怪异的酒吧并立，墨 尔本居民会在咖啡店内热烈讨论在这个拥有 480公顷公园和花园的海滨城市中，他们最 喜爱的单车道和步道。 由经济学人智库公布的全球宜居指数，是 采用一个涵盖广泛和实际的准则去评分，而 墨尔本在2016年连续第六年被评为全球最宜居城市，这项评分从10年 前开始了之后，墨尔本一直位列三甲之内。经济学人智库对墨尔本在 医疗、教育和基础建设这三方面给与甚高分数，而在稳定、文化和环 境的范畴，墨尔本的得分都比悉尼高。经济学人智库的报告指出，在 全球不稳定的情况时，榜上位列前茅的几个城市，居民的生活都没有 受到太大的影响。 在荣获到这些赞誉之后，墨尔本吸引了不少投资人士和新居民 迁入，以及本国及国际的商业机构进驻。根据国际房地产顾问机构 莱坊集团公布的资料，澳大利亚排名前10位的公司，有五家的总部

M

elbourne’s Spring Racing Carnival is one of the most vibrant and exciting events on Australia’s calendar. The sea of jockey silks, thoroughbred horses, fabulous fashions, and hats that border on artwork are a peerless spectacle. The next best thing to be – if you can’t be a winning jockey or a winning trainer – is a VIP guest of Crown. Because no-one else at Flemington will get as close to the racing action. The Crown marquee, located within the prestigious trackside enclosure, offers amazing views of the course, the city skyline, and all the excitement of the day, including the Melbourne Cup, “the race that stops a nation”.

Inside, it’s all conservatory chic with lush greenery and beautiful floral arrangements.

This spring, the marquee palette favours brass and navy; and royal blues, emerald greens and pewter.

There’s a private deck (VIPs get their own deck, even closer to the track), a private bar, lounges, a doorman, a personal bookmaker, and menus created by Crown’s most celebrated restaurants, among them Rockpool Bar & Grill, Bistro Guillaume, Nobu, San Antone, Gradi, Koko, Silks and The Atlantic. French Champagne? Of course.

Crown and the Victoria Racing Club (VRC) have been a successful partnership for over 34 CRYSTAL SEPTEMBER 2016

two decades. Crown's Oaks sponsorship is 24 years old this spring, and the glamorous VRC Oaks Club Luncheon, hosted at Crown Palladium, notches up 23 years, as does the Call of the Card lunch. Over the years, Crown has welcomed a who’s who of the racing and social set, as well as international celebrities such as Sarah Jessica Parker, Shane Warne, Liz Hurley, and Chris Isaak.

During Spring Racing Carnival, Crown becomes the nerve centre. Crown is there when the odds for the Emirates Melbourne Cup open, when the AAMI Victoria Derby Day barriers are drawn, when the Emirates Melbourne Cup, Crown Oaks and Emirates Stakes press conferences take place, and when race-day wins dictate celebrations in style along the beautiful Riverwalk.

Indeed, a Crown VIP gets to present the trophy for the $1m Crown Oaks race (run over 2,500 metres) to the winning connections – owner, jockey and trainer at the track. VIPs keen to soak up the carnival mood can join two Flemington track walks, on Cup eve or on the Cup morning.

Crown is the home away from the track – top trainers, VIPs and celebrities all come back to celebrate at Crown after the races.

With its many bars, world-class restaurants and luxury accommodation, it is the hub where the most influential people involved in the sport, the racing elite, gather during the Spring Racing Carnival.

RICHARD NYLON 理察•纳龙 “Hats are transformative objects,” says Richard Nylon. The dashinglydressed Melbourne-based milliner specialises in look-at-me pieces that range from demure to larger-thanlife, beautifully custom-made in his workshop in Fitzroy.

A

vast open-plan workspace lined with rows of wooden bench tops, each filled with hundreds of varieties of tools, microscopes and industrial instruments are brought to life each morning as a unique crew of artisans begin to work their magic. A symphony generated by tiny screws, torches and polishing machines fills the air with a hive-like buzz.

The “Golden City” of Pforzheim, known historically for its goldsmiths, is located at the northern edge of Germany’s Black Forest. It is home to the legendary atelier, Victor Mayer, masters in the art of engraving and enamelling for famous luxury brands such as Bottega Veneta, top-drawer watch brands, the Australian pearl jewellers Kailis and, for two decades, the legendary Fabergé, with its iconic egg and highly-prized objets d’art.

When Victor Mayer established his company in 1890, he had graduated as one of the first students at Pforzheim’s Decorative Arts School and set his firm apart with an art form he had learned in Vienna. It was the practice of guilloché, a superior engraving technique that developed unique depths and stunning reflective effects when combined with layers of luscious enamel.

The art of guilloché dates back to the late medieval times.

Introduced in France in the 18th century, the technical terms of the engraving technique derives from the French guillocher, to ornament with lines. Early examples of this intricate goldsmith work include beautifully engraved tobacco and watch cases, medallions, cufflinks and other metal ornaments.

During the 19th century, the guilloché technique was implemented for the security of printing banknotes, stamps

and financial documents, and since its peak during the Art Deco period it has been reserved only for the finest luxury jewellery and watches.

Today, it’s Victor Mayer’s great-grandson, Marcus Oliver Mohr, who continues the legacy. “From my childhood on, it was clear to me that my interests would always focus on jewellery making,” Mohr says. “At the same time, I had to find my own way and adapt to new market conditions.

My emphasis was in developing what already existed. We have evolved the complexity of our craftsmanship and the versatility of our design.”

From the expert stone-setter to the polisher and enamel painters, the Victor Mayer Factory’s artisans are masters in their chosen fields; most of them have been working in the jewellery industry for decades. There are only a handful of highly-practised artisan guillocheurs in the world, one of whom has worked for Victor Mayer for more than 16 years.

Among the 20 employees at Victor Mayer, the guillocheur is a one-of-a-kind. Tucked away in a separate workshop, his space has abundant natural light and heavy antique guilloché machines, big brothers to the delicate gold and silver jewellery awaiting its fine, ornamental engravings. For this time-consuming process he requires the understanding of an engineer, the creativity of a designer, the rational thinking of a mathematician, practical intelligence for the realisation of his ideas, and the precision of a watchmaker.

The guillocheur etches specially-designed geometric patterns into a rotating surface, striving for consistent speed and pressure to achieve a perfect result of evenly spaced straight, curved or wavy fine lines. During those moments of intricacy, he acutally holds his breath. With the help of

a numbered wheel that makes a distinctive clicking sound when moved, he needs to lock in mathematical codes for adjustments. Think of a ticking bomb safe-cracker scene in a movie and you get the degree of concentration needed.

Many luxury brands are looking to the past to shape the future. Nicola Andreatta, vice-president and general manager of Tiffany & Co’s watch division, says the luxury world is rediscovering metiers d’art, the expertise beloved of watch connoisseurs – marquetry, granulation, filigree, perlage – as well as the champlevé, cloisonné, plique-à-jour, and grisaille that are the enameller’s stock in trade.

“I have a dream,” said Andreatta during a recent visit to Australia. “My dream is that of establishing a kind of time lab in Switzerland, a laboratory where we have our craftsmen from the US, our craftsmen from Switzerland, doing amazing work together to show each other these techniques, doing things by hand, the old way… hammering the metal, using different alloys, decorating by hand. It’s all part of our world, our ability to do something better than anyone else.”

Cartier, whose guilloché work has long been a feature of its jewels, last year established, in a fourstorey 1872 farmhouse in La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland, its own Maison des Metiers d’Art, a “beehive” of 28 craftsmen sharing expertise.

Nowadays, the majority of companies use automatic machines and robots to make guilloché patterns, often using stamping methods for faster, cheaper and larger productions.

However, the traditional handmade guilloché manufacture allows for customisation and embraces the individual customer experience.

Prestige watchmakers who seek the guilloché technique from specialists in the field include

Vacheron Constantin, Blancpain, Breguet, Rolex and Jaeger LeCoultre; labels that are stocked in Crown’s stable of luxury watch retailers. It’s a craftsmanship that stands for lasting values and unique limited editions.

“Our workshop is a dinosaur living outside Jurassic Park,” declares Marcus Mohr. “It gets nourished by the connoisseurs who, world wide, appreciate our existence and who guarantee that I can continue our legacy.”

The guilloché technique creates an endless variety of exquisite patterns. What all of its pieces encapsulate is depth, radiance and movement that plays with light and brings the jewellery to life. Even more so when combined with intense, glossy enamels, again the work of expert enamellers skilled in illumination.

Using old recipes, they mix enamel powder with water to form a translucent substance to be applied to the engraved surface. Layers need to be perfectly even. After each layer, the piece is fired in an oven. It takes up to four layers of enamel to achieve the desired intensity of colour.

Each collection has its own set colour patterns. Mediterranean Blue, for example, is unique to Kailis’ Enlightenment collection, as is Aurora Green, Chinese Red and Daybreak. The Australian luxury brand, famous for its pearls, teamed up with the Victor Mayer workshop two years ago. Says Mark Majzner, general manager of Kailis Jewellery, “The engraving and saturated colour of guilloché add another layer of depth and dreamlike fantasy to a piece of jewellery. It takes them from special occasion luxury to an heirloom for a modern generation.

We are so pleased to have been able to tap into such a revered tradition of craftsmanship.” ●

维克多·梅尔的开放式工作坊里摆放了一排排窄长的工作木 桌，桌放满了数百种不同的工具丶显微镜和仪器，每天早上当工 匠们用他们的巧手施展魔法时，工作坊马上变得生气勃勃，小螺 丝起子丶焊割炬和打磨机器发出的嗡嗡声此起彼伏，犹如正在演 奏一首交响曲。 具有传奇色彩的维克多‧梅尔工作坊位于有“黄金之城”美誉 的普福尔茨海姆。这座城市位于德国黑森林以北，在历史上以出 产金饰而闻名。在这里，维克多‧梅尔工作坊为著名奢侈品牌如 葆蝶家、顶级手表品牌、澳大利亚卡利斯珍珠等提供知名的雕花 和珐琅工艺，而以精美彩蛋和其他工艺品而闻名的发贝热，也与 维克多‧梅尔合作超过二十多年。 作为普福尔茨海姆工艺美术学校的第一批毕业生，维克多‧梅 尔于1890年创立了自己的公司，并把他从维也纳学习到的一门手 艺带进公司的创作中。工匠们把这种卓越的扭索雕纹技术与珐琅 彩绘技术配合使用，使维克多‧梅尔工作坊的作品呈现出前所未 有的立体感和令人惊叹的折射效果。 扭索雕纹工艺历史悠久，可以追溯至中世纪晚期。这种技术于 18世纪被引入法国，它的业内术语名称guilloché就是从法语单词 guillocher衍生而来，后者的意思正是“用线条装饰”。在扭索雕 纹技术发展的早期阶段，这种金饰工艺主要被应用于制作雕工精 美的烟丝盒和手表盒、以及奖章、袖口扣和其它金属装饰品。 19世纪期间，扭索雕纹工艺被应用在纸币、邮票和金融文件的 防伪印刷上。在装饰艺术风格盛行的时期，这种工艺倍受推崇， 后来一直被用于最精美的奢侈珠宝和手表的制作中。 到了今天，维克多•梅尔的曾孙马库斯•奥利弗•莫尔继续 传承此文化遗产。他说：“从童年开始，我就清楚地知我的兴趣 是在珠宝制作上。与此同时，我必须找到方式去适应新的市场状 况，把现存的精粹再作发展，让精细的工艺更精益求精，让设计 更多姿多彩。” 无论是宝石镶嵌、打磨和珐琅彩绘，维克多‧梅尔工作坊的 工艺师在各自所属的领域中均为大师，他们之中有许多已经在珠 宝行业中工作了数十年。世界上最顶级的扭索雕纹工艺师为数不 多，而其中一位在维克多‧梅尔工作已经超过16年了。 在维克多‧梅尔工作坊的20个员工里，扭索雕纹工艺师的地位 是无可比拟的。他拥有自然光线充沛的独立工作室，那里放置了 古老而笨重的饰纹雕刻机器，不论是大件的还是细小的金银珠宝 都在这里静候精细和充满装饰美的雕刻工序。这道制作程序极其 耗时，对扭索雕纹工艺师的要求极高，他不仅需要了解技师的工 作、洞悉设计师的创意、明白数学家的理性思维，还要拥有杰出 的智慧来实现自己的创意，以至手表工匠般要求的精准。 扭索雕纹工艺师会把经过特别设计的几何图形蚀刻进持续旋转 的表面，过程中，他要努力保持始终如一的雕刻速度和压力，以 确保雕刻出均匀完美的直线、曲线或波浪线。在雕刻复杂细节的 瞬间，工艺师需要凝神屏息、聚精会神。特别是在使用刻有数字 并能发出咔哒声的轮子时， 工艺师需要锁住数字编码以作细微的 调整。这一幕会让人联想起电影中拆弹时的惊险场景，工艺师所 需的专注度与拆弹专家所需的相似。 许多奢侈品牌都在回顾历史，塑造未来。蒂芙尼手表部门的副 总裁及总经理妮可拉‧安特瑞雅达说，奢侈世界正在重新发掘那 些深受手表鉴赏家所喜爱的工艺，比如珐琅工艺师采用的精工镶 嵌、颗粒表面、金银丝细工、环状及云纹纹饰、镂雕景泰蓝、掐

丝珐琅、镂花搪瓷和灰色装饰画法等。妮可拉‧安特瑞雅达在最 近一次访问澳大利亚的时候说：“我有一个梦想，就是能够在瑞 士成立一个时计实验室，把美国和瑞士的工艺师集合在一起，运 用各自擅长的技术，用手工的、用古老的方法…… 捶打金属、使 用不同的合金、手工做装饰去完成杰出的作品。这是我们所属的 世界的一部分，也是我们能比其他人做得好的才能。” 长久以来一直以扭索雕纹工艺闻名的卡地亚珠宝，去年在瑞士 拉绍德封一座于1872年建成的四层高农舍里成立了艺术大师工作 坊，驻场的28位工艺大师，分享彼此的手艺技能。 今天，大部分公司为了更快、更低成本和更大量的生产，使用 自动化机器和机械人，并利用冲压方法去制作扭索雕纹。 传统的手工扭索雕纹工艺制作为顾客提供个性化和定制服务。 在皇冠钟表承办商发售的名牌手如江诗丹顿、宝珀、宝玑、劳力 士和积家等都积极与扭索雕纹工艺大师保持联系，追求这种精密 的技术。那是一种代表永恒价值和独一无二的技艺。 马库斯‧奥利弗‧莫尔说：“我们的工作坊就像是侏罗纪公 园以外的恐龙。它的存活是有赖于全球懂得欣赏这种工艺的鉴赏 家，支持我们继承这项文化遗产。” 扭索雕纹技术能够创造无穷无尽的、变化多端的精致花样。以 这个技艺制作的作品具有立体感、能够散发璀璨光芒，并会随着 光线变化而产生灵动的效果，让珠宝变得更富神采。在珐琅工艺 师的手中，当扭索雕纹与颜色强烈和极具光泽感的珐琅结合时， 往往会成就一件光彩夺目的作品。 珐琅工艺师会使用古老的配方，把珐琅粉末与水混和成为透明 的物质，然后填在经过雕刻的表面上。珐琅工艺师手工涂层时， 必须确保手法均匀；而每涂完一层，都会将半成品放进炉中焙 烧。这道工序需要重复做四次，才能使珐琅呈现理想的色度。 每個系列都有它本身的既定颜色。比如地中海蓝就只属于卡利 斯珍珠的“灵光乍现”系列，而极光绿、中国红、晨曦等颜色都 有所属的系列。卡利斯珍珠是以珍珠首饰闻名的澳大利亚奢侈品 牌，两年前曾与维克多‧梅尔工作合作。 卡利斯珍珠的总经理马克‧马兹拿说：“扭索雕纹和浓度饱和 的颜色为珠宝配饰添加了深邃和梦幻的效果，这种技术使珠宝从 特殊场合佩戴的奢侈品变成了现代人的传世之宝。我们很高兴能 够让如此备受推崇的传统技艺重现在创作中。” ●

ast year, after a 50-year hiatus, the Philippines returned to the Venice Biennale, one of the art world’s most prestigious events. It was an affirmation of contemporary Filipino art as something to sit up and take notice of.

Tradition, religion, film noir, pop imagery, contemporary urban culture, and the cultural clashes between these influences are fuelling a new interest in the region. Indeed, many of the artists gaining attention are from The Philippines, among them Jigger Cruz, Rodel Tapaya, Norberto Roldan, Ronald Ventura, José Santos III, Alfredo Esquillo, Marina Cruz and Nona Garcia.

In the past year, Rodel Tapaya has been shown in the Biennale of Sydney, Art15 London Art Fair and Artissima Art Fair in Turin. Jigger Cruz is highly collectable, having recently shown in Berlin and New York, and exhibited at Art Basel Hong Kong. José Santos III was exhibited in Berlin, while Norberto Roldan has shown at the Guggenheim in New York and the Tate Modern in London.

Jonathan Crockett, Deputy Chairman, Asia, and Head of Asia 20th Century and Contemporary Art at Phillips, Hong Kong, says, “The country’s re-entry into the Venice Biennale last year was very telling and the Philippines pavilion demonstrated the country’s repositioning on a global scale as Filipino artists realigned themselves with the international art community.

“Filipino contemporary art finds this same balance – for example, Ronald Ventura is absolutely a Filipino artist, but his pieces also have a unique international appeal and include immediately recognisable symbols while also drawing on more local Filipino experiences.

“Globally, Filipino artists are gaining traction. Patricia Perez Eustaquio recently opened in the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, while Maria Taniguchi was awarded the Hugo Boss Asia Art prize just last year. This ‘macro’ reinvention of what it means to be a contemporary Filipino artist is what attracts many international collectors eager to discover new, collective, transnational experiences.”

The archipelago of more than 7,000 islands, 11 major languages and 87 regional dialects has a hybrid character defined not only by its geography and rich cultural diversity, but also by its multilayered past. With strong Chinese and Malay influences alongside remnants of Spanish and American colonial rule, Manila stands as a progressive art hub. Its public institutions, galleries and art fairs all add to the city’s creative energy, providing a platform for a new generation of artists.

A strong collector base is also emerging, among them Paulino and Hetty Que and Kevin Belmonte, who believes this is “a true golden age in Filipino art”, one that has come about on the back of a growing, vibrant economy.

Marc Bollansee, a Belgian art collector and the author of Southeast Asian Contemporary Art Now (2012), attributes this burgeoning art scene to both collectors who support local artists, and an impressive arts infrastructure of serious galleries, good museums and premium curators.

Constantly evolving, Filipino artists create in many different ways, using a full spectrum of media. Last year’s survey of contemporary art in The Philippines, WASAK! Filipino Art Today, produced by German publisher Distanz (wasak is a term meaning “in ruins” or, sometimes, “drunk”), identified common themes of social realism, identity, postcolonial discourse, religious iconography, mythology, domesticity and popular culture. The second edition of a group exhibition WASAK! Reloaded is currently being held

at the ARNDT gallery in Singapore (until October 8; see arndtfineart.com).

A fusion of tradition and experimentation can be seen in the bold work of young art star Jigger Cruz. The collectable painter uses classic Western-style paintings of portraits and landscapes as a backdrop “vandalised” by a signature impasto layering of paint that obscures the imagery underneath.

With sell-out exhibitions in Berlin and New York, this irreverent position that essentially desecrates the canon of Western art is highly coveted. His medium-scale paintings sell for US$40,000 and up.

Rodel Tapaya integrates the sublime and the everyday in his work. Recognised as a socially minded artist, he offers insights into daily life in the Philippines with scenes – often depicting life on the land – enhanced by imagery from traditional mythological storytelling. Attracting critical attention, his large-scale works sell for US$60,000 and can exceed US$100,000.

Drawing upon folklore and symbolism, the artist animates characters from parables using acrylic paint on canvas. These mural-style paintings feature human and animal protagonists in imaginative scenes and often include references to current social issues.

Tapaya – whose seven-metre wide Adda Manok Mo, Pedro? (“Do You Have a Rooster, Pedro?” 2015-16) was included in the 20th Biennale of Sydney – is one of the three Filipino artists Belmonte collects along with painters Geraldine Javier and Ronald Ventura. According to Belmonte, Ventura is “arguably the best South-East Asian contemporary artist working today, displacing the great Indonesian artist I Nyoman Masriadi.”

Represented by high-profile European galleries such as Perrotin, Ventura broke the auction record for a SouthEast Asian contemporary artist when, in 2011, his painting Grayground sold at Sotheby’s Hong Kong for US$1.1 million.

Exploring the fraught history of his own country, Ventura’s mastery of the human form and appreciation of his heritage is evident in a photo-realist style incorporating motifs from East and West with contemporary cultural symbols.

Acclaimed artist couple José Santos III and Pamela YanSantos have also observed the strong interest in Filipino contemporary art. “We can see a dynamic and progressive movement ... the past decade has been more hospitable to other modes of expression, too, such as photography, video, objects and installation works. The population of practising artists has also increased.”

Santos held a solo exhibition in Berlin earlier this year to critical acclaim. Comprising sculpture and paintings, he often includes everyday objects such as household items, and images from the urban streetscape such as signage. In this way, the images and objects appear familiar, but also estranged, and allow for an element of sentimentality that, Santos believes, is an inherent Filipino trait.

Says Mok Kim Chuan, Senior Director, China and Southeast Asia, and Head of Department, Southeast Asian Art at Sotheby’s in Singapore, “The uniqueness and interest in contemporary Filipino art lies in the way Filipino artists draw from their rich historical and cultural background, combining Western influences that cross between tradition and flamboyancy.

“The tendency for artists to draw from religious themes also distinguishes Filipino art from that of other Southeast Asian countries.

“We are encouraged to see increasing recognition for Filipino art among both the regional and international collecting community.” ●

去年，菲律宾在暌违50年之后重返威尼斯双年展， 那是艺术世界里其中一个声誉最隆的展览。这次参 展肯定了菲律宾当代艺术是值得期待和深受关注 的。传统、宗教、黑色电影、流行意象和当代都市 文化之间造成的文化冲激正在亚洲区里燃发了新浪 潮。事实上，很多备受瞩目的艺术家都是来自菲律 宾，其中有吉格・克鲁斯、罗德尔•塔帕雅 、诺 伯特‧罗尔丹、罗纳德‧文图拉、荷西‧桑托斯三 世 、阿尔弗雷德‧艾斯奎罗、玛莉娜•克鲁斯和露 娜‧卡西亚 。 去年，罗德尔•塔帕雅参加了悉尼双年展、Art15 伦敦艺术博览会，还有都灵Artissima当代艺术博览 会。而作品很有收藏价值的吉格・克鲁斯，最近在 柏林和纽约展出，也有参加香港巴塞尔艺术展。荷 西‧桑托斯三世在柏林参加了展览，而诺伯特‧罗 尔丹在纽约古根汉和伦敦泰特美术馆都有展览。 香港的菲利普斯拍卖行20世纪及当代亚洲艺术 部门亚洲区副主席乔纳森‧克罗凯特说： “去年 菲律宾重返威尼斯双年展,以及菲律宾展馆都有力 地说明，菲律宾艺术界正在全球进行重新定位， 而它的艺术家也正在重新调整，以赶上国际艺术 界的发展。” 克罗凯特又说：“菲律宾的当代艺术正在寻找一 个平衡点，举例说，罗纳德•文图拉绝对是一位菲 律宾艺术家，但是他的作品在国际上又有独特的吸 引力；他的画作一方面出现能够让人立即辨识的意 符，另一方面又富有菲律宾的本土特色。” 克罗凯特继续说：“菲律宾艺术家的吸引力正在 国际间逐渐增加。派翠西亚•佩雷斯•伊斯塔柯最 近在巴黎的东京宫举行了展览，而谷口玛利亚刚在 去年获颁Hugo Boss 亚洲艺术大奖。艺术界重新发 现了菲律宾当代艺术家的潜力，吸引了许多国际收 藏家热切地去发掘这些全新的、集体性的和跨国的 新体验。” 菲律宾是个有七千多个岛屿的岛国，全国有11种 主要语言和87种方言。这个国家拥有混杂的特质，除 了是因为地理和丰富多元文化的因素，还有不同的 国家对它的历史发展所产生的影响。首都马尼拉在 过去深受中国和马拉的文化影响，加上西班牙和美 国在殖民时期留下的痕迹，使得它现在成为蓬勃发

展的艺术中心。市内的公营机构、画廊和艺术展览 为新生代艺术家提供了发展平台以外，也为整个城 市带来了创作活力。 另一方面，收藏家的数量也在增加，其中有保利 诺及赫蒂•盖、凱文•贝尔蒙特等。他们相信在国 家经济发展兴旺的时候，“菲律宾艺术真正的黄金 时代”也随之出现。 比利时艺术收藏家及《Southeast Asian Contemporary Art Now》（2012年出版）的作者马克•波兰斯认为 菲律宾艺坛快速发展的现象是因为有支持本土艺术 家的收藏人士，其他原因还包括由认真的画廊、优 质的公营和私营博物馆，以及一流策展人所构成的 艺术发展基本设施。 菲律宾艺术家从不间断地进行尝试，他们会使 用各种各样的媒介，用不同的方法进行创作。去年 由德国 Distanz 出版的《WASAK! Filipino Art Today》 （Wasak的意思是废墟）就菲律宾的当代艺术作出研 究，在不同的作品中分辨出一些共同主题，如社会 写实主义、身份、殖民期结束后的觉醒、宗教图像 学、神话学、家庭生活和流行文化 。而同名的第二 次群展，现正在新加坡的ARNDT画廊举行（展期至 10月8日；详情请浏览：arndtfineart.com）。 才华洋溢的年轻艺术家吉格・克鲁斯，从他那狂 放的作品中，可以看到传统与实验性元素的融合。 这位很受收藏家关注的画家以传统的西方技艺在背 景上画上肖像和风景，然后用他那标志性的厚涂颜 料色彩把背景“蓄意破坏”，让下面的画像变得暧 昧模糊。克鲁斯这种粗野的创作态度在本质上破坏 了西方艺术的规则，但反而让他更受欢迎，以至他 在柏林和纽约展出的作品全部售罄。他的中型作品 售价在40,000美元以上。 罗德尔•塔帕雅的作品则把庄严崇高与平常生活 的事情结合在一起。他被公认为关心社会议题的艺 术家，在画中以不同的场景对菲律宾的日常生活提 出个人看法，他喜欢描绘生活在土地上的人和各种 生物，并以传统神话故事中的形象来呈现。他的作 品受到重大关注，大型的画作售价60,000美元，甚至 可能超过100,000美元。 塔帕雅从民间传说和象征意象中，把古老 寓言的角色用丙烯酸颜料重新赋活过来。他爱

用壁画的绘画风格，将人和动物画在充满幻 想的背景中，而画中往往会涉及当前的社会 议题。最近塔帕雅在悉尼20世纪双年展展出了一幅 七米宽的作品《Adda Manok Mo, Pedro?》（“裴德 罗，你有养公鸡吗？”2015-16）。他是收藏家贝尔 蒙特最欣赏的三位菲律宾画家之一，除了塔帕雅， 还有杰拉尔丁‧哈维尔和罗纳德‧文图拉的创作。 根据贝尔蒙特的看法，文图拉“可能是今天东南亚 最优秀的当代艺术家，并能取代印尼伟大的艺术家 纽曼‧米斯尼亚迪的地位”。 在欧洲代表文图拉的画廊都是如Perrotin等般享 负盛名的，他的作品《Grayground》(2011) 在2011 年于香港苏富比举行的拍卖会上，以110万美元的 售价打破东南亚当代艺术品的记录。文图拉在他的 作品中探索祖国令人忧虑的历史，他以照相般的写 实手法，精准地掌握人物的形象和他对所承传文 化的了解，把东西方的主题与当代文化象征符号 融合一起。 广受好评的艺术夫妻荷西‧桑托斯三世和潘桑 托斯也注意到近年来菲律宾当代艺术受到的重大关 注。“菲律宾当代艺坛里有一股充满活力和革新精 神的运动正在进行。在过去十年各种不同的表现形 式也更容易得到接纳，比如是摄影、录像、雕塑和 装置艺术等等，而从事艺术的人数也在增加。” 桑托斯今年年初在柏林举行的个人展览好评如 潮。在他创作的雕塑和绘画中，他把人像和物件 放在不同的场景中，以企图改变这些影像给人的观 感。在他的作品里，可以看到日常生活中的物件如 家居用品，又或是城市街景中的招牌，这些影像和 物件看上去似是熟悉，但同时又很疏离，桑托斯相 信其中的感伤元素是菲律宾人与生俱来的性格。 新加坡的苏富比中国及东南亚区副董事及东南亚艺 术部主管莫锦川说：“菲律宾艺术家从他们丰富的历 史和文化背景抽取题材，再融合从传统到华丽的西方 文化，让菲律宾的当代艺术具有独特性和趣味性。 莫锦川认为：“菲律宾的艺术家偏向选取宗教为 主题，这一点让菲律宾艺术跟其他东南亚国家有了 区别。” 他继续说：“看到菲律宾艺术作品得到越来越多 的亚洲和国际收藏家的认可，我们觉得很鼓舞。”●

spaceship!) Aventador, priced from $754,000.

The Huracán is powered by a formidable 5.2-litre V10 engine. To date, the Huracán coupe and Spyder convertible have both featured allwheel drive, which is a reassuring complement to their 449kW power outputs.

Earlier this year, the family expanded to include the Huracán LP580-2. While making slightly less power (426 kW), the “2” reverts to a more traditional and challenging rear-wheel drive. Priced at $380,000, some $48,000 less than the regular all-wheel-drive coupe, the LP580-2 has been engineered for a more pure experience on the racetrack.

If the Huracán’s low-slung, angular-styled cockpit doesn’t already transmit this 320km/h supercar’s intent, there’s a switch marked ANIMA (“soul”) on the steering wheel. This allows the driver to choose from three driving modes that electronically vary the engine, steering and handling characteristics from (relatively) tame road car to racetrack riot.

Drivers can also choose how far they want to go in terms of Lamborghini’s menu of courses.

Fees naturally apply for each, ranging from the basic track-test Esperienza, through high-

performance driving instruction, up to literally buying one’s own Lamborghini racing team.

The company’s headquarters near Bologna in Italy coordinates these courses like a globetrotting circus, travelling to international racing circuits throughout Europe, the US, Middle East and Asia. The Winter Accademia is a favourite: drivers learn to control their wildly sliding Lambos on snow and ice venues in Colorado, Italy and Japan. The Phillip Island Esperienza and advanced, owner-only Accademia is a once-annual visit.

Esperienza is the one-day, entry-level program at which prospective and current owners enjoy, typically, three outings on the track, tailing one of Lamborghini’s advanced driving instructors. Participants are first run through the car’s specifications and performance potential, and given advice on correct driving position and steering technique.

“It’s important to relax your shoulders,” cautions chief instructor Peter Mueller, like his colleagues, an internationally credentialed racing driver. “You have more feeling for what is happening with the car, especially the

rear of the car. In two-wheel drive, you want to feel what happens.”

Drivers are encouraged to use “Sport” mode, with track-oriented settings, which allow the car to be driven more spectacularly, yet still electronically overseen. “Corsa” mode sacrifices wheel-spinning spectacle for forcefully efficient lap times.

The three on-track sessions each comprise four laps. For the latter two sessions, only four participants, each following a dedicated instructor, are on track at one time. By then, speeds are starting to climb as students become more familiar with the cars’ controls and, enjoyably, some of the secrets to smooth cornering, braking and throttle application.

It’s far less daunting than it sounds. The Huracán’s acceleration is scintillating, and its handling almost telepathic, yet the instructors know to maintain top speeds down to about 200km/h on Phillip Island’s main straight and to monitor in their mirrors the following drivers’ comfort levels.

Driving a Lamborghini on one of the world’s most beautiful racetracks is certainly an esperienza to remember. ●

From the raging Southern Ocean to the tranquil Coral Sea, Australia’s offshore destinations offer a range of moods and experiences.

汉密尔顿岛 “Buzzing” is not a word often used to describe a tropical island, but in the case of Hamilton Island, it fits the bill. The main hub of the Whitsunday Islands, near Airlie Beach, in northern Queensland, has a lively social scene centred on the glamorous yacht club and neighbouring marina. Other draws include the 18-hole championship golf course designed by Peter Thomson, and the luxurious qualia resort.

Hamilton Island also delivers more traditional tropical delights, including sandy beaches and day trips to the Great Barrier Reef.

The island’s best-kept secret is its bushwalking opportunities – 70 per cent of its area is covered by bush.

ABROLHOS ISLANDS

阿布洛霍斯群岛 One of Australia’s best-kept secrets, the uninhabited Abrolhos Islands lie 60km off Geraldton on the West Australian coast. An air safari to this archipelago of more than 120 islands gives you a glimpse into a wild world where sea lions frolic and huge seabirds – from ospreys and white-breasted sea eagles to sandpipers – find tranquil refuge.

It wasn’t always so peaceful here. Your pilot will point out the first building constructed

by Europeans in Australia, a fort built in 1629 by survivors of Australia’s most notorious shipwreck. The Dutch ship Batavia ran aground on her maiden voyage and the fort was built as refuge by a party of the survivors.

However, you leave the past behind when you land on East Wallabi Island, where you can indulge in some spectacular snorkelling. Fed by the warm waters of the Leeuwin Current, the spectacular coral gardens surrounding the islands are home to colourful tropical fish.

Perhaps the island’s cutest inhabitants are the little penguins who live on The Neck, the narrow isthmus that separates the island’s two halves. Stroll the boardwalk around dusk for your best chance to see these distinctive birds.

Hikers will enjoy the trails that lead along sandy beaches, through coastal scrub and along sheer cliffs; some of the best are found in South Bruny National Park.

FLINDERS ISLAND 弗林德斯岛

Flinders Island’s wild, storm-tossed beauty hides a dark past. For many years, this island north-east of Tasmania was the haunt of sealers who also moonlighted as pirates, using lanterns to lure passing ships onto the rocks.

Today, it is the sandy beaches and pristine bushland that lure bushwalkers and landscape lovers. One of the best hikes is the walk up the Strzelecki Peaks, which offers spectacular views across the coast. Another highlight is Yellow Rock Beach, where you can see the remains of the paddle steamer Shannon, one of the dozens of ships wrecked off the island’s coast.

Almost half of Lord Howe’s 240 plant species are endemic to the island, and the extraordinary array of birdlife includes one of the world’s most endangered species, the flightless woodhen.

Despite so much natural abundance, Lord Howe does not lack for creature comforts such as gourmet restaurants.

It is home to more than two-thirds of the 1500 fish species found on the reef, as well as a rich range of hard and soft corals. An offshore clam nursery features 300 giant clams, some weighing as much as 200kg. On the outer reef, depending on the season, you may well get to see manta rays or migrating humpback whales.

In France, supply of the highly desirable Perigord truffle has dropped dramatically in the past two decades. Picking up the slack is Australia, now with more than 160 growers of this “black gold”. 在过去的20年，法国佩里哥黑松露的产量大跌，而拥有超过160位松露种植者的澳 大利亚，就在这段期间成为这些“黑色黄金”的主要来源地。

In recent months, Blakers’ dogs have been hard at it. “It has been a perfect truffle year,” he says. “The biggest haul we’ve ever had, by a country mile.” The dogs walk the rows of the hazelnut and oak groves, jumping and dancing excitedly when they find their target. “The dogs can walk several kilometres a day in season,” says Blakers.

Over the years, Blakers’ business has gone global. Today, 90 per cent of his truffles are exported. Of these, 20 per cent go to the US, 40 per cent to Asia and 40 per cent to France. A handful stays in Australia, used by chefs in restaurants that include Nobu at Crown Melbourne and Crown Perth and Rosetta at Crown Melbourne.

Truffle season traditionally begins in France each November and runs through to March. The Australian season starts in May and finishes in August. The availability of Australian truffles has closed what was an eight month gap in the supply chain for French chefs.

“The French now happily buy our truffles,” says Blakers.

“I had dinner with Pierre Gagnaire in Hong Kong at his restaurant, and as soon as he tasted them, he started using

hird-generation farmer Al Blakers grew up in Manjimup, a small town some three hours south of Perth. In 1994, Blaker and his father, a sheep farmer, decided to try their hand at truffle farming on the family’s 45ha property.

They’d researched enough to know that Manjimup’s climate – hot summers and cold winters – meant that truffles were a possibility, and so planted 300 hazelnut and oak trees, inoculating them with spores of tuber melanosporum, the highly sought Black Perigord truffle.

Some 10 years later they unearthed their first truffle, marking the beginning of what would become the epicentre of Australia’s truffle industry. The Blakers now have 5,000 trees in the ground and each winter harvest their truffles with the help of specially trained dogs.

Truffles, long the domain of the French, tend to grow around 20cm below ground and therefore are not easy to find. Traditionally they are harvested with the help of female pigs who are attracted to the truffle’s scent. In Australia, dogs have been trained to recognise the aroma.

them. When a demigod chef like Gagnaire starts cooking with them, then chefs all over France are suddenly buying.”

Supply in France has dropped dramatically in the past two decades.

At the turn of the century, Perigord boasted an annual truffle haul of more than 1,740 tonnes. Now, due to deforestation and climate change, fewer than 200 tonnes are harvested in all of France. Hence, the French are looking to new worlds for black gold.

Like Blakers, truffle grower Peter Marshall, of Terra Preta Truffles, enjoys attention from the French. Based near the town of Braidwood in the New South Wales Southern Highlands, Marshall and his wife Kate inoculated their first trees 20 years ago.

Eight years later, they harvested their first truffles. Now on their eighth harvest, they can’t keep up with demand. They, too, export, with 50 to 60 per cent of each harvest shipped to Paris, Tokyo, London, Shanghai, New York and the Napa Valley.

“It’s interesting to see what the French chefs do with them in summer,” says Marshall. “Suddenly they are developing recipes using summer ingredients including fruit with truffle that were never before possible.”

Australian truffles retail for between $2,000 to $3,000 per kilogram depending on demand. Ingredients traditionally matched with truffles include eggs, chicken, butter and potatoes, all considered the best vehicles for carrying a truffle’s aromatic qualities.

Chefs including Ashley Palmer-Watts of Dinner by Heston Blumenthal at Crown Melbourne and Guillaume Brahimi of Bistro Guillaume at Crown Perth and Crown Melbourne use Australian truffles. Brahimi presents a truffle menu each season. An entrée of West Australian Donnybrook marron and octopus is sliced into a carpaccio and served with truffles. A main course of 24-hour braised wagyu short rib arrives with a parsnip puree, fondant potato, mushrooms, turnip, charred leek and truffle jus. Even dessert features truffle. A truffle cheesecake is teamed with an apple jelly, alongside a ginger-infused pear, and a burnt fig ice-cream.

Neil Perry of Rockpool Bar & Grill at Crown Perth and Melbourne, also cooks with Australian truffles in season. “We use truffles from WA, Tasmania and NSW,” says Perry.

“I like to team them with eggs. At Rockpool Bar & Grill we’re doing a tart with buttered leeks, sliced bacon and spinach, which we top with scrambled eggs and truffles. One of our offerings is a chicken wing with

68 CRYSTAL SEPTEMBER 2016

konbu butter and truffle. Truffles also work beautifully with pasta: at Rosetta we serve a truffled egg pasta and shave truffles over the top.”

Nobu’s menus feature a beef tenderloin with truffle teriyake sauce, ribeye with truffle butter, seared Chilean sea bass with truffle mirin and soy, and a Blackmore wagyu tataki dish.

Australian Gourmet Traveller Contributing Food Editor Rodney Dunn, a Tasmanian-based chef, cookbook author and founder of The Agrarian Kitchen (a farm-based cooking school in the Huon Valley south-west of Hobart) agrees that eggs and pasta are good conduits for truffles.

“Pairing truffle with subtle flavours that carry the scent and flavour of the truffle is key,” he says.

Dunn teaches a series of truffle workshops at The Agrarian Kitchen in season, and has recently published The Truffle Cookbook (Lantern, $60). “I wanted to write a book to show people what to do with a truffle once they had one in their hand,” he says.

“The aroma lasts only two weeks and starts to drop off the moment it comes out of the ground, so you want to use it as quickly as possible.

That is the great thing about Australian truffles – you can have them in your kitchen within two days of being harvested. If you were waiting on a delivery from France, all of that aroma would be lost in the transit to your front door.”

Duncan Garvey, of Perigord Truffles, also in the Huon Valley, began farming truffles in the 1990s. Most of his customers are home cooks who buy online through Qantas epiQure. “This is the market we are trying to grow. I am excited to deal with the customer direct,” says Garvey, who prices his truffles by the gram. “$2.50 to $3.00 a gram is what they cost a home cook, and that price doesn’t vary much year to year.”

Garvey especially likes dealing with what he calls “truffle virgins”.

“I love receiving emails from customers who’ve never cooked with one before,” he says.”

He recommends pairing the truffle with simple flavours. One of his customers made a truffle toastie by sandwiching shaved truffles between slices of white bread spread with butter.” Another sent Garvey a thank-you email after his first truffle arrived in the post. It read: “When I opened the bag it filled the room with perfume. I’m glad I used it simply as you suggested. It is like a singer with a unique voice, it doesn’t shine in a choir, but does well with a few back-up singers.” ●

位於珀斯以南三小时路程的小镇曼吉马普，是农夫亚尔•布莱克 斯出生及成长的地方，他的家族世代也在小镇务农，传至他已是 第三代。在1994年，布莱克斯跟以牧羊为生的父亲决定尝试在家 族拥有的45公顷农庄中种植松露。 开始前，他们做了很详细的资料搜集工作，曼吉马普的夏天 很炎热，而冬天非常寒冷，这种气候十分适宜培植松露，所以他 们栽种了300棵榛子树及橡树，并接种了黑孢块菌的孢子，即是那 经常供不应求的佩里哥黑松露。大约10年後，他们采收第一批松 露，标志着澳大利亚松露种植业的开始，并迅速成为松露的主要 产地。现时，布莱克斯的农庄有5,000棵树，每年冬季收成时，都 由经过特别训练的狗只协助。 原产于法国的松露，通常在地面以下20厘米生长，要找到它十 分困难，传统的做法是以母猪协助寻找，因为母猪对松露的气味 特别敏感。在澳大利亚，经过训练的狗可以辨别到松露的香气。 在最近的几个月，布莱克斯的狗只十分忙碌，他说：“今年松 露大丰收，是历年来收获最丰富的一年。”狗只在一排排榛树及 橡树林间搜索，发现目标的踪影时，就兴奋得大跳起来，布莱克 斯说：“在收成的期间，狗只每天可以走几公里的路。” 这些年来，布莱克斯的生意已迈向国际化，现时他农庄九成的 松露都是出口的，当中两成到美国丶四成到亚洲，其馀四成到法 国。有少量留给澳大利亚的厨师及餐厅，当中包括墨尔本皇冠度 假村的Nobu及Rosetta餐厅。 在法国，松露季节由11月开始至第二年的3月，而在澳大利 亚，则由5月至8月，在法国松露季节之间的八个月，澳大利亚就 为法国的厨师提供松露作食材。 布莱克斯说：“现在法国人都很高兴能买到我们的松露。我曾 在皮埃尔•加尼尔在香港的餐厅跟他吃晚饭，他尝过了我们的松露 後就开始购入作食材。当地位超卓的加尼尔开始用我们的松露作材 料後，全法国的厨师亦突然间开始搜购我们的松露。” 在过去的20年，法国出产的松露数量大幅下降，在本世纪初， 佩里哥的松露年产量达1,740多吨，现时，由於森林的数目减少， 加上气候变化，整个法国的产量不足200吨，所以，法国人也要向 新世界购买这些黑色的黄金。 跟布莱克斯一样，Terra Preta Truffles的松露种植者彼得•马歇 尔亦很高兴其出产得到法国人的垂青。马歇尔的农庄位於新南威 尔士南部高地，接近城镇布雷德伍德，他和妻子凯特约在20年前 种植第一批树木，八年後首次收成。 现时已是第八次收成，但依然供不应求。他们也是把收成的五 至六成出口至巴黎丶东京丶上海丶纽约及加尼福尼亚的纳帕谷。 马歇尔说：“看着法国厨师在夏天如何烹调松露是件有趣的事 情，他们以夏天的食材如生果配松露，以往是不可能的事。” 澳大利亚松露每千克的零售价介乎2,000至3,000澳元，视乎需

求而定。传统上，鸡蛋丶鸡肉丶黄油和马铃薯这些食材都能带出 松露的香味。 墨尔本皇冠度假村Dinner by Heston Blumenthal的厨师阿什利‧ 帕尔默－沃茨，以及珀斯皇冠度假村及墨尔本皇冠度假村Bistro Guillaume的厨师纪尧姆‧普拉希米均采用澳大利亚的松露。普拉 希米每季都会推出松露餐单。前菜有薄切西澳多尼布鲁克小龙 虾及八爪鱼配松露；主菜为24小时炖煮和牛小肋排配欧洲防风草 蓉丶汁煮马铃薯丶蘑菇丶芜菁丶炭烤韭葱及松露汁；连甜品也是 以松露为材料，供应松露芝士蛋糕配苹果果冻丶姜汁梨及速烤无 花果冰淇淋。 珀斯及墨尔本皇冠度假村Rockpool Bar & Grill的大厨尼尔‧ 佩里亦以时令的澳大利亚松露入馔。Perry说：“我们采用来自 西澳丶塔斯马尼亚及新南威尔士的松露。我喜欢以鸡蛋搭配松 露，在Rockpool Bar & Grill，我们在黄油韭葱丶培根及菠菜挞上放 上炒蛋及松露。我们也有为贵宾们预备鸡翼配昆布奶油和松露。 松露跟意大利面食也是绝配，所以在Rosetta，顾客可以吃到松露 鸡蛋面，我们把一片片的松露放在面条上。” 而Nobu的餐单则有菲力牛扒配松露照烧汁丶牛里脊肉配松露奶 油丶烧智利海鲈鱼配松露味醂及酱油，以及炙烤布莱克莫尔和牛。 澳大利亚《美食旅人》的美食编辑罗德尼•邓恩是一位塔斯马 尼亚的厨师，亦是食谱作者及The Agrarian Kitchen（是一所自设农 场的烹饪学校，位於荷伯特西南面的候恩谷内）的创办人，他亦 同意鸡蛋及意大利面食是搭配松露的最佳食材。“主要是把松露 配味道含蓄的食材，才可带出其香气和味道。” 邓恩在松露季节期间举办连串松露工作坊，最近更推出了 《The Truffle Cookbook》一书（由Lantern出版，售60澳元）。他 说：“我想出一本书教人如何处理松露。松露的香气只可以维持 两个星期，而且由出土的一刻开始消减，所以一定要尽快食用。 而澳大利亚松露的好处是收成後两日，你就可以收到松露，如果 等待由法国付运而至的松露，香气可能在到达时已消失殆尽。” Perigord Truffles的邓肯加维亦於1990年代开始在候恩谷种植松 露。他的大部分顾客都是透过网站Qantas epiQure买松露回家煮 食。加维说：“这是我们想要发展的市场，我很喜欢直接与顾客 接触。”他的松露价钱以每克计。“每克2.5至3澳元是家用食材 的价格，而且每年的价钱都不会相差太远。” 加维特别喜欢接触对松露所知不多的顾客。“我喜欢收到从 未烹调过松露的顾客电邮。”他经常推介把松露配味道简单的食 材。他的一位顾客做了一份烤松露三明治，把松露片夹在已涂上 黄油的白面包中。而另一位顾客在收到他首次订购的松露时，发 电邮多谢加维：“当我把袋子打开，一屋都充满了香气，我按你 的提议以简单的方式食用。就好像是一位拥有独特声线的歌手， 在歌咏团里黯然失色，但与和音一起，就变得十分出色。 ●

HEN IT COMES TO SYMBOLISM, THIS YEAR’S LIMITED EDITION HENNESSY 8 COGNAC IS ALL BUT DROWNING IN IT.

First there is the liquid gold itself – a blend of the eight eaux-de-vie (the building blocks of Cognac) that pays homage to a Cognac-making dynasty that has been blending Hennessy since the early 1800s. The decanter, made from hand-blown Baccarat crystal, is an architectural montage of eight crystal rings, again a nod to the eight master blenders: the current one, Yann Fillioux, his six predecessors, and his nephew Renaud Fillioux de Gironde, to whom Yann will hand over the baton in the next few months.

The Hennessy 8 Cognac is cradled in a unique trunk designed by Paris-based Israeli artist and designer Arik Levy. Using oak staves from the Hennessy cooperage, Levy has created an object of 25 layers of wood, each symbolising 10 years of history, with copper inlays that nod to the metal tools used during the distilling process. With the bottle, the ensemble weighs in at 60kg.

The 250 bottles that make up the limited-edition cache represent the 250th anniversary of the House of Hennessy, founded by Irishman Richard Hennessy in 1765. Only 100 will be released this year, each with a price tag of €35,000 (A$52,750), individually numbered and signed by Arik Levy.

So, what does it taste like?

We put that question to Maurice-Richard Hennessy, an eighth-generation Hennessy who is a global ambassador for the brand (now part of the LVMH conglomerate), one late-autumn day at the Sydney bistro of Crown Resorts chef Guillaume Brahimi. The occasion: an elegant repast hosted

by Hennessy for fashionistas, foodies and spirit aficionados where fat white tulips tumbled from squat glass vases in a sea of gold-stemmed tulip-shaped glasses.

“It is elegant, extremely elegant, without bravura.” It doesn’t show off? “It doesn’t show off. Exactly! Voila!”

Gourmet Traveller Wine’s spirits editor Franz Scheurer offered his more formal tasting notes.

“The Cognac itself is ultra-smooth, with roasted hazelnuts on the nose combined with crystallised grapefruit peel. On the palate, it is instantly mouth-filling with some rancio and wood-forward characters that slowly dissipate into a raisiny, white chocolate and lily of the valley fragrance with a long, dark and sweet finish that seems to go on forever.”

Its maker, Yann Fillioux calls Hennessy 8 “absolute perfection ... it is a master blender’s dream come true,” he says.

So what might it most resemble in the Hennessy Cognac portfolio? “You could say it is somewhat like VS,” says

72 CRYSTAL SEPTEMBER 2016

Hennessy. “But VS is much younger.

[Hennessy 8] has the quality of a very old, concentrated Cognac, but without the exuberance of a Paradis Imperial…”

Limited-edition Cognac is part of the Hennessy strategy (collectors love it) … and a necessity.

Says Hennessy: “Production is limited; it takes 100 years to make 100-year-old Cognac. The fact is, we have a stock of old Cognac, but we have to bring it out slowly and leave other Cognacs to age so that during many dozens of years we will always have the amount necessary.

We can’t make a large amount. Even Cognacs not known as collectors’ items, like Paradis Imperial, take time.”

Cognac is one of the main agricultural products of the Charente, a department in south-west France. The Charente is home to six crus, or growing regions. Hennessy draws its eaux-de-vie from four of them: Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies and Fins Bois. Named for the town in the Charente, Cognac is a brandy – a distillation of grapes.

Some 75,000 hectares are planted with the grapes that will become Cognac – colombard and folle blanche, but mostly the acidic, aromatic ugni blanc.

There are more than 300 brands of Cognac produced in the region, two dozen produced in significant quantities.

Hennessy distils its wines twice, taking the “heart” from the second distillation and leaving it to age in French limousin oak barrels. What Hennessy does differently from other producers is to age separately each eau-de-vie, then blend, rather than the reverse. Other factors in the end result are: ageing time, barrels used, and the origin and quantity of the eaux-de-vie selected.

Hennessy has a capacity of some 300,000 barrels busy ageing in the region, shared among 50 chais (warehouses).

Each is marked with batch number, vintage, growing area, name of vine grower and the number of barrels in batch.

There’s a tasting committee whose members have responsibilities for different parts of the process: oakbarrel ageing, relationships with wine growers, distilleries, winemaking process. Every day the group of eight meets to taste from 40 to 80 eaux-de-vie and decide on, for example,

whether the batch needs to be transferred from young to seasoned barrels to control the oak influence. The committee, Maurice-Richard Hennessy tells us, tastes 10,000 Cognacs a year. “Ten that are considered outstanding are separated, aged and monitored until they have reached their summit of excellence, their summit of balance,” he says. “That could take from 30 to 100 years.”

The oldest vintage in stock, he says, dates to 1800. The US is the biggest market for Hennesy, in volume, with Hennessy VS being the biggest seller in that market. The Asian markets remain the most committed and notable collectors – “Cognac goes especially well with Asian food,” notes Hennessy, adding that Nigeria and South Africa are “amazing markets”, with Kenya and Cameroon growing.

According to Hennessy, the tulip glass has always been the best vessel to taste Cognac neat. It is the glass used by the tasting committee and master blender to taste the eaux-de-vie every day. Some claim it “better respects the aromas”.

Hennessy’s most unlikely ambassadors have been American rappers, who incorporated the lexicon of Cognac into their lyrics. Artists such as Kanye West, Eminem, Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur. By default, they introduced a new generation to the premium spirit.

“We did not ask them,” declares Hennessy, whose preferred Cognac tipple is XO on the rocks. “They started it and carried on doing it, and it was very useful. We love to entertain them … we have received a lot of artists and DJs in our [Friends of the House] château in Cognac.

“Rappers are artists. These are tough guys, they are people living a tough life when they are young. Coming from poor families, they have dreams: ‘When I am grown-up I will have a Bentley .... Cristal ... Dom Perignon …’

That’s what they tell us in their songs.

It’s the love. Why do they love to rhyme the word ‘Hennessy’? Because it is poetic.”

Or poetry in motion, as converts to the liquid gold that is a fine Cognac will attest. ●

THE PECKING ORDER Hennessy VS, aged two to eight years, blends some 40 eaux-de-vie VSOP, aged four to 15 years, blends 60 eaux-de-vie XO, aged 10 to 30 years, blends 100 eaux-de-vie Paradis, aged 25 to 130 years, blends 100 eaux-de-vie Richard Hennessy, aged 40 to 200 years, blends more than 100 eaux-de-vie There is also the ultimate vintage blend, Ellipse, created from seven of the most highly prized eauxde-vie from 1830 to 1995, nominated by each of the seven master blenders from the Fillioux family.

THE CROWN VIP CELLAR Crown Melbourne has four bottles of The Ellipse in its VIP Cellar along with Hennessy Edition Particulière No. 2 (A$50,000 a litre bottle); and Hennessy XO Arik Levy Methusalem (A$58,000 sixlitres). Ellipse is currently served in Atrium Bar, Club 23, The Waiting Room and Silks. Hennessy Edition Particulière No. 2 and Hennessy XO Arik Levy Methusalem may be ordered in Fidel’s.

WHAT TO DRINK WITH COGNAC? Maurice-Richard Hennessy says Cognac is superb with Chinese and Vietnamese food. It suits chickenbased soups, fish, crab and lobster, but the best pairing is chocolate. “With dark chocolate I'd drink XO, which is very tannic; milk chocolate with Paradis. You can have it with something lighter, vanilla ice-cream or lobster, but nothing too spicy – and with a blue cheese like Stilton. Richard Hennessy is very concentrated, but remarkably fruity and lively and goes well with red berries, chocolate and raspberries.” ●

T

here’s Naomi Watts on the red carpet at the Academy Awards … Scarlett Johansson at the Venice Film Festival … Jessica Alba at the premiere of her latest film … Olivia Wilde at the Golden Globes … Nicole Kidman at Cannes – all decked out in Bulgari jewels. Snap! Snap! Snap!

These days jewellery is as much a star on the red carpet as the stars wearing it. But Bulgari’s tryst with Hollywood is nothing new. Luminaries of the big screen have long sought out Italy’s peerless gems.

This month, Italian Jewels: Bulgari Style opens at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) to shine a light on this glittering, intimate relationship, one that dates back to the 1930s, but which reached a peak during the dolce vita years of 1950s and ‘60s, when movies such as Roman Holiday and La Dolce Vita made the Eternal City a magical place to be.

Magazines devoted acres of space to that glittering world.

Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, Ingrid Bergman, Grace Kelly, Anita Ekberg and many others discovered the Bulgari shop in Via dei Condotti and engaged in passionate affairs with its jewels on and off the screen. Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, who fell in love while filming Cleopatra in Rome, celebrated their love with magnificent Bulgari creations.

Since then, says Lucia Boscaini, Bulgari’s brand and heritage curator, Bulgari creations have starred in more than 40 films from Never So Few with Gina Lollobrigida in 1959 to The Visit with Ingrid Bergman in 1964, from Pret-à-Porter with Sophia Loren in 1994 to Casino with Sharon Stone in 1995 and Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol starring Tom Cruise in 2011.

Who wears it best today? Says Boscaini, “Naomi Watts incarnates the mix of beauty, elegance and charisma the Bulgari jewels are made of. Another star who perfectly embodies the discerning Bulgari woman is Julianne Moore: she was the first woman to wear the emerald necklace (on display in Melbourne) that belonged to Elizabeth Taylor after Bulgari bought it back at auction.”

Australia, says Boscaini, has proved to be a very lively market for Bulgari. In Melbourne, the brand’s history will be illustrated with a selection of amazing creations from the mid-1930s until today. Showcased: the use of colour, the practice of mounting ancient coins as a reinterpretation of a time-honoured tradition

dating back to ancient Rome, the unconventional use of the cabochon cut, and the gorgeous sautoirs of the 1970s.

Says Boscaini, “A ‘young’ country like Australia has a deep interest in traditions of artisanal excellence, so the theme we chose for the exhibition allows us to show how the evolution of the Bulgari style always went hand-in-hand with the adoption of exquisite craftsmanship techniques.”

Back in Rome, Bulgari’s Heritage Collection today consists of more than 600 unique pieces, including jewels, watches and precious objects created from the end of the 19th century until today. It’s supported by more than 60,000 documents, vintage photographs and sketches.

Buying back magnificent pieces has been part of the company’s strategy since the 1990s and it recently secured a necklace of cabochon-cut emeralds dating back to 1928. Says Boscaini, “It was the decade when Giorgio and Costantino Bulgari, sons of the founder Sotirio Bulgari, started to outline an ‘Italian way’ to jewellery – less formal, more joyful and wearable. The cabochon cut to enhance the colour of the stones is today a Bulgari hallmark.

“Another interesting piece we came across in the USA recently is a 1974 ‘Serpenti Tubogas’ bracelet-watch of which only a sketch was available. We were not sure whether it had ever been produced or sold. We dubbed the piece ‘Musical Note’ as the head of the snake was rendered with this particular shape. It illustrated the extent to which the maison has been eclectic in reinterpreting the snake motif, as of today one of the most recognisable of the Bulgari icons.”

Treasures turn up in the most unexpected places … a 1930s tiara in the Museum of Qatar; a garland-style necklace in platinum with diamonds around the neck of Princess Olimpia Torlonia at a gala ball, which had only ever appeared in a 1960s advertising campaign; silver ornaments made by Sotirio Bulgari, discovered in a vault inside the flagship store.

On Lucia Boscaini’s wish list are two masterpiece necklaces from the 1970s that reinterpret the lotus flower motif and were inspired by the first exhibition of the treasures of Tutankhamun.

“One combines cabochon sapphires, black onyx and salmon pink coral highlighted with diamonds. The second variation mounts turquoises, emeralds and amethysts in a pavé-set diamond ground.” She also has her eye on a necklace and a

bracelet, in the possession of a Spanish noblewoman, which epitomise Bulgari’s taste for colour and sumptuous volumes.

Buying back Elizabeth Taylor’s pieces at auction in 2011 was one of the biggest challenges to date, she reveals. “They were really thrilling moments, as we had to meet budget constraints while also purchasing the most representative pieces of her predilection for Bulgari. In the end, we are very satisfied, and today we can display the magnificent jewels for you to admire in Melbourne.”

Jewellers sell dreams – and dreams need stories with strong characters, which is why Taylor remains such an icon.

“Elizabeth Taylor represented an era,” Mauro Di Roberto, head of Bulgari’s jewellery business unit, told the glittering assembly of guests at the launch of the Diva Collection in Portofino in 2013. “She was a rare woman in the sense that she was very strong, knew exactly what she wanted.”

She had much to play with. The Bulgari family overturned the longstanding hierarchy of gemstones in quality jewellery: mixing up the precious and the semiprecious; taking risks with colours; the love of a cabochon gem, raised like a cupola; the smooth round finishes that eschew the spiky claw; the thick gold chain of filed curb linking known as gourmette; an underside as perfect as the upper side.

“The way Elizabeth Taylor wore jewellery was not traditional, not formal,” said Di Roberto. “She had a way of wearing jewellery as if it were part of her. It reflected her lifestyle and personality, and it complemented what she was wearing. You can see how safe and strong she felt in wearing whatever she put on.”

Despite owning pieces of jewellery that today would have their own Facebook page, Taylor never thought of her jewels as trophies. In Elizabeth Taylor: My Love Affair With Jewelry, she wrote: “I’m here to take care of them and to love them.” She hoped that when she died and they went to auction, whoever bought them would give them a good home. ● Italian Jewels: Bulgari Style is at the National Gallery of Victoria September 16-January 17, 2017. ngv.vic.gov.au.

娜奥米•沃茨站在奥斯卡颁奖礼的红地毯上丶斯嘉麗•約翰 遜出席威尼斯電影節丶杰西卡•阿尔芭出席新片首映礼丶奥利维 亚•维尔德出席金球奖颁奖礼丶妮可•基德曼出席戛纳电影节， 她们都戴上奪目的宝格丽的珠宝首饰。 宝格丽跟好莱坞巨星之间的关系一向密切，在银幕上明艳照人 的明星，一向都锺情於意大利珠宝上珍贵无比的宝石。本月，在 维多利亚国家美术馆举行的《Italian Jewels: Bulgari Style》展览介绍 宝格丽与多位巨星之间动人的亲密关系。这些历史由1930年代开 始，及至1950及60年代期间达至高峰，当年的电影《罗马假日》 及《甜蜜的生活》使罗马这个永恒之城成为浪漫迷人的城市。 许多杂志都以大篇幅报道这个星光熠熠的世界，伊丽莎伯• 泰勒丶奥黛丽•赫本丶英格丽•褒曼丶格蕾丝•凯利丶安妮塔• 艾克伯格及其他天皇巨星等都纷纷到访宝格丽位於罗马康多蒂大 道的总店，不论在银幕上下都经常佩戴着品牌的设计。而伊丽莎 伯•泰勒和理查德•伯顿在罗马拍摄电影《埃及艳后》期间堕入 爱河，更以宝格丽巧夺天工的珠宝作为订情信物。 宝格丽的品牌及典藏策展人露西亚•波斯卡尼表示，自从那时 起，品牌的设计曾出现在40多套电影里，当中包括1959年上映， 由吉娜•劳洛勃丽吉达主演的《Never So Few》；1964年由英格 丽•褒曼主演的《贵妇还乡》；1994年由索菲亚•罗兰主演的《 云裳风暴》；1995年由莎朗•斯通主演的《赌城风云》，以至 2011年由汤姆•克鲁斯主演的《碟中谍4》。 现时谁跟品牌是天作之合呢？波斯卡尼表示：“娜奥米•沃茨 糅合美丽丶高贵与慑人魅力於一身，正正是宝格丽珠宝的化身。 另一位能完美演绎宝格丽女性高雅气质的是朱丽安•摩尔，她是 首位女星能有机会戴上一条原本属於伊丽莎伯•泰勒的绿宝石项 链，该颈链由品牌从拍卖会中购回（将会在墨尔本展出）。” 波斯卡尼说澳大利亚对宝格丽来说是个充满活力的市场。在墨 尔本的展览中，一系列经由1930年代至今的设计，将会展现品牌 的历史，对色彩的运用；还有按古罗马时代历史悠久的传统而镶 上古钱币的珠宝；打破传统的凸圆形切割宝石，以及1970年代设 计华丽无比的项链。澳大利亚是个‘年青’的国家，对传统工艺 有浓厚的兴趣，所以今次展览的主题就带出宝格丽精湛的工艺和 技术，如何配合不断演进的设计风格，擕手向前。” 在罗马，现时宝格丽的典藏系列共有600多件，均为19世纪末 至今独一无二的设计，包括珠宝首饰丶腕表及珍稀饰物，还有逾 60,000份相关的档案丶旧照片及草图。自1990年代开始，品牌的部 分策略是购回部份珍贵的设计，最近就买回了一条於1928年制造 的凸圆形切割绿宝石颈链。“那个年代，品牌创办人索帝里欧•宝 格丽的两位儿子，即乔吉欧和康士坦丁诺•宝格丽开始构思具‘意 大利风格’的珠宝设计，即较简洁丶更活泼及历久弥新。而当时可 使宝石色彩更明艳的凸圆形切割法，现已成为宝格丽的标志。

“最近我们在美国找到一只於1974年制造的Serpenti Tubogas手镯腕表。最初我们只能找到它的设计草图，不知道 是否曾生产或出售过，因为蛇头的形状，我们昵称它为 ‘音符’。这款设计显示品牌在重新演绎灵蛇主题时，不会墨守 成规，这个系列现已成为宝格丽最为人熟悉的设计。”然而，珍 贵的宝物总在意想不到的地方出现，比如於1930年代制造的冠状头 饰，现珍藏在卡塔尔博物馆内；奥林匹亚•托洛尼亚公主戴着一 条铂金镶钻的花环状颈链出席大型舞会，那条颈链只曾在1960年代 的广告大片中出现过，而广告背景是罗马卡比托利欧广场；在品 牌旗舰店地窖还找到创办人索帝里欧•宝格丽制造的纯银饰物。 在露西亚•波斯卡尼的愿望清单上有两条1970年代创作的 颈链，以莲花图案为主题，灵感来自首个图坦卡蒙的历史文物 展。“有一条颈链镶了以凸圆形切割的蓝宝石丶黑玛瑙和鲑鱼粉 红珊瑚，再缀以美钻。另一条则以密镶钻石衬托绿松石丶绿宝石 和紫水晶。”清单还包括一位西班牙贵妇拥有的宝格丽颈链和手 镯上，这些设计反映品牌在色彩和奢华细节上的过人品味。 她认为要在2011年的拍卖会上回购伊丽莎伯•泰勒的珠宝是目 前为止最大的挑战。“实在十分惊险，我们要在有限的预算内， 由她的藏品中购回最多丶最具代表性的设计。我们很满意结果， 现时还可以在墨尔本展出这些精致华贵的设计。” 珠宝商售卖梦想，而梦想需要有个性鲜明的人物故事作招徕， 所以泰勒依然是个传奇。2013年，宝格丽的珠宝业务主管摩罗• 罗伯托在波托菲诺的Diva系列发布会上向嘉宾说：“伊丽莎伯• 泰勒是一个年代的代表，她是个很独特的女性，性格坚强，完全 知道自己想要什麽。” 宝格丽颠覆宝石固有的等级制度：以半宝石衬托名贵的宝石； 色彩搭配大胆创新；偏爱凸圆形的宝石，令设计更富立体感；浑 圆流畅的修饰掩盖了尖锐的镶爪；以弯曲及磨去棱角的链环组成 经典的gourmette金项链，以及表里一样完美的作品。 罗伯托表示：“伊丽莎伯•泰勒以轻松的态度佩戴珠宝。她把 珠宝与自己的气质及风格搭配得天衣无缝，反映她的生活方式及个 性，更能凸显她的衣着品味。不论戴什麽，都是那麽夺目迷人。” 虽然泰勒拥有的珠宝享负盛名，甚至在面书上有专页，但她从 来不认为这些珠宝只是奖座。在《Elizabeth Taylor: My Love Affair With Jewelry》一书中，她写道：“我在照顾及爱謢这些珠宝。” 她只希望离世後，这些珠宝能透过拍卖会找到一个好的归宿。 ● 《Italian Jewels: Bulgari Style》展览於9月16日至2017年1月17日 在维多利亚国家美术馆举行。ngv.vic.gov.au 墨尔本皇冠的宾客可到访度假村内的宝格丽专卖店，品牌更可 安排顾客单独浏览珠宝。

CAR BENTLEY CONTINENTAL R TYPE (1952) 汽车 － 宾利1952年款欧陆R型 “The Continental R Type really marks the starting point of modern Bentley design. Many of the styling cues incorporated into the current Continental GT – the striking power line, muscular rear haunches and swooping, fast roof line – all started with this car. It has perfectly defined proportions: short front overhang, long dash to axle and long rear overhang. Overall, the design is incredibly elegant and timeless.”

LAST WORD: DESIGN 优秀设计

INSIDE AND OUT 内外兼美 Stefan Sielaff, Director of Design at Bentley Motors, is inspired by many things, from haute couture to architecture, timepieces, and even aircraft design. 宾利汽车设计总监史蒂芬•西拉夫的灵感来自许多不同的 事物，当中包括时装丶建筑，甚至是飞机的设计。 Success, notes the 54-year-old German-born innovator, is rooted in having a clear idea of what makes a brand unique. “For me, it’s the beauty of a fantastic exterior concealing innovations and craftsmanship that push the product itself forward. It’s this combination of technology and aesthetics that, in the end, makes Bentley extraordinary,” he says.

As he ushers the Bentayga SUV onto the Australian market, Crystal asked Sielaff to nominate five creations which best exemplify that form/function duopoly of design excellence. 这位54岁丶在德国出生的创意先锋认为成功的基本因素是拥有如何去打造品牌独有价值的清晰概 念。他说：“对我来说，成功的产品不单要有漂亮迷人的外观，也要有充满创意和手工精巧的内 涵，才可以做到推陈出新。我们糅合科技与美感，最终使宾利成为卓尔不凡的品牌。” 正当西拉夫在澳大利亚推介宾利Bentayga SUV时，《Crystal》杂志邀请他推介五项完美地糅合内 在与外在设计的代表作。

90 CRYSTAL SEPTEMBER 2016

“欧陆R型号标志着宾利的设计进入摩豋新纪 元，它的许多造型设计，日后均融入了欧陆 GT型号中，包括象徵不凡能量的轮廓丶充满 阳刚味的前低後高俯冲式线条丶由车顶延伸至 车尾的线条简洁流畅。R型号的线条比例完美 无瑕：短前悬丶长冲轴和长後悬，整体设计令 人难以致信地既高雅又历久常新。”

WATCH BREITLING NAVITIMER 手表 － 百年灵航空计时腕表 “The Navitimer is an immaculate piece of form, function and lovely, luxury details. Just like with our new Bentayga, the Navitimer is all about attention to detail and exquisite features – which I love”. “这款航空计时腕表不论在外形丶功能和优美 奢华的细节上都做到完美无瑕。就像我们全新 的Bentayga。百年灵专注为航空计时腕表打造 精美的细节和特徵。那是我喜欢它的原因。”

ARCHITECTURE GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM, BILBAO 建筑 － 毕尔巴鄂古根海姆博物馆 “I really enjoy how the shapes that make up the Guggenheim’s structure reflect a fuselage theme – smooth, curved surfaces that exude power and strength. At Bentley, the fuselage form is the most important feature of our exterior design DNA.” “我十分欣赏博物馆以飞机机身为主题的外形 结构，光滑及弧形的设计，展现无可比拟的力 量。在宾利，流线形的车身设计是品牌最重要 的特色，亦是外观设计的DNA。”

AIRCRAFT LOCKHEED SR-71 BLACKBIRD 飞机 － SR-71 黑鸟式侦察机 “Again – as you would expect from an aircraft – the fuselage form is a big part of the appeal for me. The curves and surfaces of the Blackbird have a purposeful, sleek feel which from a designer’s point of view is extremely appealing.” “你可以预计得到，吸引我的绝大部分原因亦 是机身那光滑的流线形设计。黑鸟的机身及外 形设计具有特定的目的，线条简单优雅，对设 计师而言，十分富吸引力。”

FASHION ALEXANDER MCQUEEN 时装 － 亚历山大•麦昆 “McQueen’s design language for me really defined ‘New Brit’. In many ways his work is comparable to Bentley Design – he was respectful of the British tailor-made tradition, but did things with a modern twist. He was a trained tailor who became a designer – so he understood technical and design issues holistically and all his work always had a hand-crafted feel.”

Clockwise from opposite page: Bentley Motors design director Stefan Sielaff; Breitling Navitimer; Lockheed SR-71; Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao; headturner from British designer Alexander McQueen; the sleek Bentley Continental R Type from 1952. 对页起顺时针方向：宾利 汽车设计总监史蒂芬‧西 拉夫；百年灵航空计时 腕表；SR-71 黑鸟式侦察 机；毕尔巴鄂古根海姆博 物馆；英国设计师亚历山 大‧麦昆让人惊叹的设 计；宾利1952年款欧陆R 型汽车，线条流畅有型。

“对我来说，麦昆的设计精确地演绎了何谓‘ 新英伦’风格。在许多方面他的设计跟宾利很 相似，他尊重英国量身打造的传统，但加入摩 登的元素。他先接受裁缝训练，再成为设计 师，所以很了解有关技巧及设计的历史，而他 所有创作都拥有手工制作的精致美感。”
