新季新面貌

New season, new look

s you flip through the September issue of eliteGen, you may have noticed a few tweaks to our magazine. Well maybe more than just a few tweaks.

當你打開今期的《星尚》，會發現不少新轉變，亦能感受到裡面包含的每點心思。踏入五周年，設計團隊重新考量每個細節，無論是封面書名的設計至每個版面的結耩，《星尚》處處都呈現新生命新觸覺。然而絲毫未變的，是我們的核心價值。高品味的新品、優質生活，充分地迎合讀者對高格調生活的追求。我相信不是每本雜誌內都可找到售價可高達13萬5千、內裏載有稀世名酒或配合高端科技製成的限量版名錶；又或是豪華名車、品牌時裝等介紹，圖文並茂的以中、英文刊載，接觸更廣泛的讀者群。由創刊至今，我們都是以吸引有品味和講求生活質素、在加拿大生活的華人為目標，他們自信、獨立、有不同的成就，清楚明白自己所要追求的是什麼－甚至不太計較代價。這亦是我們希望做到的：為他們度身訂造，一本尋找更美好生活的指南。以全新形象出現的《星尚》代表了我們汲取過往的經驗，銳意做得更好。要達到這目的，您們的意見最是重要和寶貴，我們熱切期待您的回應和意見。我衷心希望《星尚》的新方向，真真正正能符合您心中所尋。多謝各位一直的支持，請繼續多多給予意見，能與您們交流，是我們最感激的事。謹祝各位閱讀愜意－當然，還有購物愉快！

In celebration of our fourth anniversary, our creative team went back to the drawing board and redesigned everything from the cover logo to the templates for each and every page. You might say that eliteGen has reinvented itself. Of course, the eliteGen mandate remains the same, that is, to be a vital publication for the discerning consumer of luxury brand goods. But new layouts that are more in line with today’s editorial graphic trends give us a stronger competitive edge when reporting on the high-end marketplace for A-listers like yourself. I mean how many other publications can you read about limited edition watches with liquids built right into their movements, costing upwards of $135,000? Or find the latest in spare-no-expense fashion finds and prestige motorcars, all delivered in both Chinese and English. From the very first issue of eliteGen, our goal was to attract elite Chinese Canadians, members of society with unparalleled independence, confidence and success, people who know what they want and go after it—no matter what the cost. And therein lies our raison d’être: to be your exclusive guide when seeking out those posh purchases. The rebirth of eliteGen is exciting for a slew of reasons. It’s a time to reflect on our successes and learn from our past mistakes. But most importantly, this journey to be the best we can be is one we will go on together, the impetus of which was giving serious thought to the invaluable comments we received from you, our loyal following of readers. Yes, we listened. I sincerely hope you like the new direction eliteGen is embarking on. And as always, thanks for all your support and keep the comments coming. It is so greatly appreciated. Happy reading—and, of course, happy shopping. Sincerely,

向來都覺楊千嬅穿簡約晚裝最是好看。就像這次的 Joyce晚裝，既巧妙隱藏身形缺點，將下身顯得格外修長；背後的紗質披肩，富華麗感，又突顯天后風範。

Givenchy這左右紅黑色極端對比的連身裙，在領口和手袖邊加了皮革圍邊，即時顯得型格十足，正好反映Sammi的潮人形象。

莫文蔚這漸變紫色珠片裙本來相當簡約，但加上不規則的流蘇，時尚感大增；再襯以閃閃ankle boots，變得相當搶眼。

Miriam Yeung is always stunning in a simple evening gown. This design by Joyce hides imperfections perfectly, while lengthening the overall silhouette. A sexy see-through back adds an elegant flow.

This Givenchy maxi-length dress has a luxurious leather trimmed collar and sleeves, reflecting Cheng’s cutting-edge image to a tee.

The gradient purple of this sequined gown is accented with trendy tassels while sparkling ankle boots make a night on the town even more eyecatching. continued on page 20

伍詠薇這通花裙設計特別，很有立體感，披風式設計更有增添英氣，配以腳上的紗質短靴和金色頭飾，更能凸顯她的爽朗性格。

Emporio Armani這彩色間條套裝，既有直紋又有橫紋，駕馭不來即予人眼花繚亂的俗氣感覺，然而穿在Kelly身上，卻散發一種時尚感，充分演繹何謂「人穿衣」。

朱千雪這Echtego jumpsuit顏色鮮艷，甚是奪目，配以時尚的La Francoise白色西裝褸，更覺神采飛揚。

This two-tiered lace dress with built-in cape gets a boost of superhero chic. Mesh ankle boots and gold accessories only magnify Ng’s star power.

One might have thought that two-directional rainbow stripes would be dizzying and distracting. Instead, this Emporio Armani suit means business and demonstrates that Chan is in the driver’s seat.

Jumpsuits are showing up on runways everywhere. And this bright red homage to the '80s by Echtego paired with a stylish La Francoise jacket shows Chu is not afraid to be fashion forward.

Tina Fey不但有喜劇頭腦，外型也頗可人，難得是打扮從來恰如其份，卻又不失巨星氣派。這身銀色晚裝造型，正是今夜星光燦爛。

Carey Mulligan身穿碎花裙站到大花背景圖案前卻依然突出，得力於裙的圖案夠細緻，不但清楚分明，更切合其清純形象！

Amber Heard本身是大美人，即使是中性的閃片西裝也駕馭自如，柔情之中見硬朗，又是另一番引人味道。

The famed comedian in this silver evening gown with ostrich feather flounce is a regular on the gala circuit. No surprise she always wows on the red carpet.

Even standing in front of a floral background, Carey Mulligan’s floral-patterned hostess gown stands out. Its fine, intricate pattern and soft flowing lines fits with Mulligan’s clean, girlish image.

Amber Heard’s understated power play shines through in a gender-neutral sequin suit.

成后之路 - 唐詩詠 -

serendipitous

Natalie Tong’s TV career may have all been left to chance, but she says friends are a big part of her success

stardom 唐詩詠由廣告模特兒變身視后之路，一切都是機緣巧合。「當年做模特兒、拍廣告、入TVB，都不是我精心計劃的，全部都是緣份。」然而視后名銜卻莫名其妙成了魔咒，負評接踵而來：十五年戲齡，竟被揶揄演技不入流；絕世好女友則變為「唐姨」；傳聞岑麗香跟TVB解約，也怪罪於唐詩詠搶做女主角……

The path that took Natalie Tong from model to the TVB Anniversary Award winner for Best Actress in 2017 is saturated with serendipity. But that kind of success can also be a curse. Negative criticism quickly ensued, and despite a 15-year acting career, the feedback wasn’t always kind. Her acting abilities were now being questioned and her reputation as a bachelorette moved to less eligible “auntie” status. Even when popular actress Eliza Sam chose not to renew her contract with TVB, Tong was blamed for her departure.

cover girl 儘管贏得視后以來負評不絕，唐詩詠仍然覺得是開心事，「八年前得到『飛躍進步女藝員』，當時媽媽已經離世，不能和她分享，今年贏得視后，最開心是爸爸能見證到。因為獎項不可預期，只有等，等得到而人仍在，才最珍貴。」訪問當日，她正忙於拍攝榮登視后後的首部新劇《白色強人》，飾演她夢寐以求的急症室醫生。「我是《Grey's Anatomy 》的超級fans，已經追了十四季，今次輪到自己演醫生，早有參考，所以不難投入。」明白別人對自己的要求會提高，她也不敢鬆懈，將壓力變成動力。「以前只要導演說ok便可，但現在看playback覺得自己演得不夠好的話，我會即時提出可以再多拍一個take。」

開拍《白色強人》前九個月，唐詩詠已收到完整劇本，監製亦有清晰指引，讓她一早做足準備，「我和馬國明演離婚夫妻，角色比較成熟，講述大家重遇之後再復合，不過劇本較少交代兩人之前的關係，所以我要花一段時間研究角色之間的感情，其實每次拍劇，我都要知道很多背景相關資料，才可以投入。在這方面，我是挺有要求的。」

Despite all the criticism thrown her way, Natalie Tong’s star still shines bright. “Eight years ago, I won ‘The Most Improved Actress Award’,” Tong recalls. “By that time, my mother had already passed away, so I could not share the award with her. With the Best Actress award, I was happy that my father was able to witness it. If a special someone is there when your turn is up, it is the most precious.” On the day we interview Tong, she is busy filming her latest TV drama, The Big White Duel, where she plays an emergency-room physician. “I am a huge fan of Grey’s Anatomy and have been following it for 14 seasons,” Tong says. “This time, it’s my turn to play a doctor. But since I have been watching and learning for a while, it wasn’t too hard.” But the pressure is on. Tong totally understands that expectations are high, so she is careful not to relax, turning the added pressure into a motivating force. “Before, as long as the director said ‘OK’, I was fine with it,” says Tong. “Now I will immediately request another take if I think that I wasn’t good enough when I watch the playback.” Nine months before shooting began on The Big White Duel, Tong received the script with clear instructions from the producer. So she had plenty of time to prepare. Says Tong: “Kenneth Ma and I play a divorced couple. The roles are more mature. In the story, the two meet up again and get back together. However, the script didn’t fully explain the relationship the couple had before, so I had to spend some time figuring out the relationship between the two. “Actually, every time I take a role, I need to know quite a bit about the character’s background in order to fully immerse myself in the role. In this regard, I have very high expectations.”

災難的課堂她擅長演繹愛情故事，甚至有報道說，唐詩詠刻意為演《不懂撒嬌的女人》中Cherry一角而找老師增進演技。她笑說：「沒這回事，學戲只是即興，又是一個機緣，當時差不多一年沒拍劇，朋友見我空閒，於是介紹我到馬來西亞進修。」那五天課堂，她形容為：「災難一場！」嚴師的批評，令她自信全失，「好難受，但直接批評，起碼讓我知道自己水平多不濟。」那時她碰巧遇上來探望老師的甄詠蓓，立即向對方求救：「我返香港前已whatsapp她，說要跟她上堂。我未讀過訓練班，只是自學，或者向前輩討教，可能自己悟性不高，所以一直都想改進，絕不是為拿獎。」她跟甄詠蓓上了十堂演技課，「她不會教我演戲，也沒有幫我分析劇本，課堂只是一道門，幫我看清楚自己的優點、缺點，才會懂怎樣去演好一個角色……我只知道她幫我釋放了些，再注入一點，不能說是脫胎換骨，但我覺得自己有成長。」

ClASSrOOM DISASTEr Tong is a pro at interpreting love stories. It was reported that prior to playing the part of Cherry in My Unfair Lady, she hired a teacher to help improve her acting skills. She says that’s not the case. “I took acting classes for fun,” Tong insists. “It was just another serendipitous occasion. At that time, I hadn’t been in a show for almost a year. My friend saw that I had the time, so she referred me to an acting program in Malaysia.” Tong describes the five days of acting classes as a “disaster”, saying the stern criticism she received from the coach took her confidence away. “I felt so bad. But direct critique was helpful, because it let me know how bad I was.” Then she met Olivia Yan, who was visiting her teacher, and asked her to help. “Before I returned to Hong Kong, I messaged Olivia on Whatsapp, saying that I would like to take lessons with her. I learned everything myself and asked for help from more experienced actors as I went along. Maybe I’m not a fast learner, but I always want to improve. It’s not at all because I want to get an award.” After 10 acting lessons with Yan, Tong walked away with a deeper understanding of her strengths and weaknesses. “She helped me to let go a little and to focus. It wasn’t a transformative experience, but I feel I have grown.”

兩段親密關係今年初的視后得獎感言，大家才知唐詩詠和田蕊妮的感情好至親密同床。「跟阿田認識，是多年前合作拍過兩齣劇，但為甚麼會合拍？也是一種緣份吧！」實情是她的不恥下問，造就了這段友情，「她演戲比我有經驗，所以成為我的討教對象，我問她很多問題，又會觀察她怎樣演，幸好她也不嫌其煩的答我，亦會很直接的說：『你這裏做得不好。』娛樂圈中，奉承容易，真心話卻難求，所以我很珍惜她，鼓勵她隨便批評我，也由此開始了這段『關係』。」除了切磋交流，無聲守候也能造就友情，唐詩詠跟黃翠如的緣份，正是這樣。「我跟翠如，工作上從未合作過，相識只因為一個共同朋友。」不用猜，也知道這位「朋友」是洪永城。「跟她最深刻的相處，是去年在我情緒最低落的時候，她連續幾日即使是凌晨才收工，也立刻趕來我家陪伴，安靜地坐在我身邊，聽我傾訴，或者看著我哭，直到天亮。她的關懷，令我知道無論發生甚麼事，她都會在我身邊。」

ClOSE rElATIONSHIpS From Tong’s speech at the TVB Anniversary Awards ceremony, we learn that Tong is so close to fellow actress Krystal Tin that the two have shared a bed. Come again? “Tin and I worked on two TV series together a few years ago,” says Tong. “Even working together was another case of serendipity.” Truth be told, it was because she was not embarrassed to ask questions that made the friendship possible. “She is more experienced in acting than I, so I would ask her for advice,” Tong says. “I asked lots of questions and observed how she acts. Fortunately, she was very patient with me, and she would also directly say, ‘You didn’t do well here.’ “In show business, it is easy to just tell people what you think they want to hear. It’s hard to have a real, authentic conversation. So I really treasure her and encourage her to feel free to criticize me. That’s how we started our ‘relationship.’” Tong’s other friendship with priscilla Wong is also a treasured one. “priscilla and I have never worked together. We met because of a mutual friend, Tony Hung. We became close while I was feeling down last year. For several days in a row, even though she had to work until early morning, she would come to my home right after work to be with me. She would just quietly sit by my side to listen, or to watch me cry, until daybreak. Her concern convinced me that whatever happens, she will be by my side.

酒進腕錶

Toasting timepieces In the last century, water was the enemy of watchmakers. Not any more—sort of Story | Ringo Chan

液體和機械從來水火不容，多得來自波蘭的藝術及洋酒代理商：Wealth Solutions忽發奇想，把多年來在世界各地找到或投得的陳年名酒留下某些數量，將它們「再次陳釀」於腕錶裡！他們更找到三個鐘錶商Armin Strom、 Louis Moinet及Speake-Marin，都願意為這「神之水滴」延續更長的神話。

Horologists used to pull out all the stops to keep liquid out of their precision movements. But some of the latest most innovative watchmakers now boast their ability to blend the two. Liquids and mechanical works don’t typically mix, but Polish art and liquor dealer Wealth Solutions figured out a way to blend alcohol with watchmaking. Teaming up with three watchmakers—Speake-Marin, Armin Strom and Louis Moinet—the company literally incorporated drops of precious vintages from around the world to create these three “vintage” timepieces.

Speake-Marin ruM Watch 誕生於1780年、合共59瓶、全球最古老的Harewood Rum 酒，於2011年被意外地發現，輾轉流入Wealth Solution手中，然後一滴滴地留存在這枚Rum Watch的11時位置裡；負責緊緊鎖住這滴rum酒的，是一個藍寶石水晶容器。選擇11時位置，是因為當年英國海軍出海作戰，每到約11 時，水手便會大叫「Stand Fast the Holy Ghost」（這口號同時雕刻在錶殼中），然後分發rum酒給各船員；品牌希望將歷史融入腕錶。腕錶只設有一指同時代表小時及分鐘的指針，也是呼應當年航海指南針的設計。 3款合作腕錶中，這枚的酒液形態來得最清晰動感。SpeakeMarin Rum Watch設有男女裝，直徑分42及38mm，搭載 Vaucher 3002機芯，配合當年被發掘的59瓶酒，現限量發售59 枚腕錶，鈦及不鏽鋼佔49枚，餘下10枚以黃金製。(鈦金屬版約售22,800元)

Harewood Rum, which dates back to 1780 and with only 59 bottles produced, was uncovered by sheer luck in 2011. Wealth Solutions got hold of some and has preserved a few precious drops in a sapphire capsule at 11 o’clock on the face. And the positioning of the capsule is no accident: it is linked to the Royal Navy’s wartime tradition, when the crew would cry, “Stand Fast the Holy Ghost” at 11 o’clock for their daily rum ration. In a nod to this tradition, the phrase is even etched on the watch case. Reminiscent of a traditional sea compass, the watch has a single hand to indicate both the hour and the minute. The watch is powered by the Vaucher 3002 mechanism and comes in a 42-mm men’s version and a 38-mm women’s edition. To echo the number of bottles uncovered, it is a limited collection of 59 pieces—49 in titanium and stainless steel and 10 in yellow gold. (Approx. $22,800 for the titanium model.) 在Speake-Marin Rum手錶內，蘊藏著數滴來自18世紀的Harewood Rum酒。 A few drops of this rare 18th century Harewood Rum were added to the Speake-Marin Watch

Watch OUT arMin StroM cognac Watch Wealth Solution第一個找來的合作夥伴，是來自 1967年的瑞士獨立製錶匠Armin Strom，而5時位置存藏的神之水滴，是全球最古老的Gautier干邑！被封存的Gautier干邑，來自1762年，是 Wealth Solution於2014年在紐約舉辦的Fine Art Auctioneers & Valuers以巨額投得；今天被融入在鏤空的AMW11型手動上鏈機芯內，有點像混入鐵鏽的水分，是歷史時光的見證。腕錶錶殼直徑分40及 43mm，有不鏽鋼、鈦及18K玫瑰金版，共限量40枚。 (玫瑰金版限量8枚，約售$47,000) Armin Strom, an independent Swiss watchmaker established in 1967, was the first of Wealth Solutions’ partners in this peculiar project. The Cognac Watch pays tribute to the world’s oldest Gautier Cognac, preserved at 5 o’clock on the watch face. Wealth Solutions paid top dollar in bidding for the 1762 Gautier at the 2014 Bonhams Fine Art Auctioneers & Valuers auction in New York. Integrated in the open-worked AMW11 hand-winding mechanism, the cognac gives the watch a deep heritage feel. The limited collection of 40 pieces features 40- and 43-mm editions in stainless steel, titanium or 18-karat rose gold. (The rose gold is limited to eight pieces; approx. $47,000 each.)

LouiS Moinet WhiSky Watch 現存最古老的威士忌乃1862年的Glenlivet蘇格蘭威士忌，由英國收藏家Sukhinder Singh擁有。他原先不想割愛，但最終想到古老威士忌能給更多年輕一代認識，決定跟Wealth Solutions合作推出Whisky Watch。這回當橋樑的是曾首創計時製置、來自十九世紀的Louis Moinet，它把威士忌容器置於3時位置，跟9時位的小秒針來個相對，錶盤的Goutte de Rosee時分針極富古典味，內搭的LM45自動機芯提供48小時能量儲存。43.2mm錶殼以不鏽鋼或18K玫瑰金打造，前者限量40枚，後者限10 枚。(不鏽鋼約售$24,500。) The 1862 Glenlivet may be the oldest scotch still around, and was lovingly acquired by British collector Sukhinder Singh. He didn’t want to part with it at first, but then decided to team with Wealth Solutions to create the Whisky Watch and acquaint the younger generation with vintage scotch. England’s Industrial Revolution during the1800s brought the world steam turbines and steampropelled trains and boats. It boggles the mind that a whisky made during that same era can still be enjoyed today. Louis Moinet, also dating back to the 19th century and known for pioneering chronographs, has established another link with history by putting a whisky capsule at 3 o’clock. The LM45 self-winding mechanism offers 48 hours of power reserve. The 43.2-mm watch case comes in stainless steel, limited to 40 pieces, or 18-karat rose gold, limited to 10 pieces. (Approx. $24,500 for the stainless steel model.)

其他液體腕錶

... More Liquid tiMe teLLing

液體看時間 hyt h 20 上世紀的錶匠千方百計把水分遠離機械腕錶，以免產生水氣及鏽蝕，HYT則誓要把液體帶回機芯內！HYT本身就有Hydro Technology液體科技意思，它們成立了液體實驗室Preciflex，也請來醫學專家Helbling Technik幫助，共同研發液體如何能順暢地於機芯內流動。第一枚H1作品於2012年挾著7項機械與1項設計專利誕生，品牌 CEO Vincent Perriard難掩喜悅表示：「我們完成了只有在夢境才能完成的事情──用液體來顯示時間。」機芯內藏兩個風箱形壓脹儲液裝置(以航天工程合金製)，一個儲著熒光液體，另一個裝載透明液體，兩者以德國製造的導管連繫著，而液體能透過活塞驅動進或退；當熒光液體的貯液裝置受壓縮，液體便會於導管內伸延流走，相反另一方的透明液體會「節節後退」，重回到儲液裝置內。熒光液體流動的軌跡，便是當下的小時時間了。今年HYT於SIHH新推出的H 2 0，錶側增加了立體夜光數字時刻，無論在錶面還是錶側都可清晰看到熒光綠色液體如何由左走向右以標示時間。腕錶的藍寶石錶鏡的錶線條比舊作H0更圓渾，即使直徑達51mm、厚19.95mm，亦不覺得太累贅。備有藍配白和綠配黑兩個款式，各限量 25枚。(約售$124,000)

In the last century, watchmakers went to great lengths to keep water out of their movements. Yet HYT (aka Hydro Technology) endeavours to put liquid back into their mechanism. It teamed with Zurich-based medical expert Helbling Technik and its Preciflex liquid laboratory to work out how to make liquid flow smoothly in a timepiece. The first H1 piece was born in 2012 with seven technical patents and one design patent. Company CEO Vincent Perriard was ecstatic. “We have accomplished something that we could only dream of—using liquid to indicate time, says Perriard.” The mechanism has two bellows made of aerospace alloy, one containing luminescent liquid and the other clear liquid. The two are connected with a Germanmade pipe. The liquid is pushed and pulled by valve movement. When the bellow for the coloured liquid is compressed, the liquid in the pipe will flow on to indicate the hour, and clear liquid is pushed back into the bellow. The H20, unveiled at Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie this year, has added 3D luminescent hour markers. The flow of coloured liquid from left to right to indicate time can be seen clearly from the dial or the side. The silhouette of the sapphire crystal is rounder than the H0 and doesn’t feel chunky, despite its 51-mm diameter and 19.95-mm thickness. It comes in blue and white, or green and black. Each style consists of 25 pieces. (Approx. $124,000.)

Between the dial and the sapphire glass of the Révélation d’une Panthère are 900 gold beads flowing in an oil-based liquid. As the beads flow on the dial, the silhouette of a panther is revealed. The choreography of the beads is controlled by the wearer, and the viscosity of the liquid slows the flow for maximum impact. The two patented traits were developed over four years. The lacquered dial comes in green, red or black. The former two are set with 87 diamonds totalling 2.07 carats. The crowns feature an emerald and a ruby respectively, and each version is limited to 100 pieces. The black dial model has 88 diamonds totalling 2.15 carats and is an unlimited edition. They are powered by a 430MC calibre. The rose-gold case measures 37 mm in diameter. (Approx. $136,000.)

Omega uses heritage time technology for its First Omega Wrist-Chronograph Limited Edition

Story | Iris Chui

歐米茄的First Omega Wrist-Chronograph限量版腕錶，僅發售18枚，每枚腕錶均配備經品牌Atelier Tourbillon專家以專門工藝重塑、1913年製造的18令 CHRO經典獲獎機芯。 First Omega Wrist-Chronograph限量版系列得以面世，全賴歐米茄博物館提供18枚來自珍藏古董腕錶的18 令CHRO機芯。全新腕錶的設計亦以1913年歐米茄計時腕錶作藍本，47.5mm直徑的腕錶設有多項典雅的裝飾細節，例如鑲有鉚釘的皮革錶帶、綴有藍色Empire指針和鏤空阿拉伯數字的白色搪瓷錶面。第一次世界大戰期間，很多軍人均對此款式情有獨鍾，清晰簡約的錶面設計和 15分鐘計時盤最受空軍飛行員歡迎，當時英國皇家飛行隊便曾大量訂購這款腕錶。

全新限量版腕錶亦加入18K白金錶殼和18K Sedna 金錶冠及按鈕。經典的錶背採用可揭式設計，打開便可觀賞藍寶石水晶鏡面下充滿韻味的翻新機芯。

Omega has reintroduced a real piece of time technology from its past. The First Omega Wrist-Chronograph Limited Edition is an ambitious collection comprising just 18 watches, each one housing an original 18’’ CHRO calibre from 1913.

First Omega WristChronograph限量版腕錶以時尚造型配搭1913 年生產的原創機芯。 Omega took 18 original movements from the early 20th century and refurbished them for this truly special collection.

The Omega Museum played a significant role in supplying the 18 original 18’’ CHRO calibres, which were retrieved from heritage timepieces within their vaults to make the first Omega Wrist-Chronograph Limited Edition project work. For the outside design of the 47.5-millimetre timepieces, Omega followed the look of an Omega wrist-chronograph from 1913 with classic details, such as the riveted leather strap and the white enamel dial with blue Empire hands and hollow Arabic numerals. This design was a favourite amongst military personnel during WWI. Aviators, especially, were drawn to the easy-toread dial design and 15-minute counters, which were ideal for the most challenging missions. Modern materials have also been included, such as 18-karat white gold for the case, and 18-karat Sedna™ gold for the crown and pusher. The classic design also features a hatched case back, which can be flipped open to reveal the refurbished movement positioned behind the sapphire crystal.

去年曾入圍GPHG最佳女裝複雜錶的Chaumet Complication Creative Colombes，錶盤上的藍天白雲與白鴿，飛舞中展示時間的流逝並代表著愛情的相遇相知，即使未能贏得獎項，卻無損此錶的優雅動人。在以大明火琺瑯及機刻圖案的深藍色天空與白雲上，兩隻白鴿各口銜一個圓環，圓環的位置便是當下的時間，外圍那隻顯示的是分鐘，而內圍那隻是小時。兩隻白鴿的圓環每小時都有一次機會貼近在一起，從而形成一個「8」字，代表著永恆的愛意。腕錶以鍍銠白金製殼，直徑 41mm，錶殼側面及錶底均刻有天空及白鴿圖案，除了錶圈鑲有鑽石外，錶冠更鑲有一顆藍寶石（重0.29卡），300顆鑽石共重2.54卡。腕錶搭載的是專為品牌研製的自動機芯，僅限量12枚。 Chaumet’s Complication Créative Colombes was shortlisted for the GPHG’s best women’s complicated watches last year. Although it didn’t win any prizes, the watch is no less mesmerizing. In a romantic setting, time is told with a grand feu dial where diamond encrusted doves fly across a blue sky dotted by white clouds. And symbolizing eternal love, every hour the ring-carrying doves intersect to form the number 8. The white gold case measures 41mm and is engraved with sky and dove motifs on the side and the case back. The bezel is adorned with diamonds, and the crown features a 0.29-carat sapphire. It boasts 300 diamonds of 2.54 carats in total, and is powered by an in-house, self-winding mechanism. Only 12 pieces are available.

珍稀共鳴

Fit for a queen Story | Ringo Chan

Photography | TPK

法文Résonances意指「共鳴」，有綿長餘韻、持續共鳴的意思，卡地亞以此為靈感，打造Résonances de Cartier系列。通過寶石獨特的色彩與光澤，利用線條、對比、幾何美學等設計手法，展現每一件作品在佩戴者身上引致的情感和共鳴，盡顯品牌崇尚珍稀寶石的無盡熱情。

Résonance is a term often used to describe a deep and reverberating sound. But it can also be used to connote the power to evoke enduring images, memories and emotions. Taking the latter as its inspiration, Cartier created the Résonances de Cartier collection.

Résonances de Cartier Écume necklace/pendant 三顆共重74.24克拉的VS1級水滴形切割彩黃鑽/淡彩黃鑽，橢圓形鑽石，水滴形切割鑽石，天然珍珠，玫瑰式切割鑽石，明亮式切割圓鑽。 With 3 VSI-grade drop-cut yellow and pale yellow diamonds, oval diamonds, drop-cut diamonds, natural pearls, rose-cut diamonds and brilliant-cut round diamonds.

Résonances de Cartier Hyperbole necklace/tiara 以一顆重140.21卡的方形凸面哥倫比亞祖母綠寶石為中心，向左右對稱延伸的幾何造型，中央晶透，外圍深邃，更可作冠冕配戴。 A 140.21-carat square convex Columbian emerald is used in the centre with geometrical shapes on both sides. The centre is translucent with a surrounding wide band. The necklace can also be worn as a tiara.

Résonances de Cartier Moires necklace 18K白色黃金，一顆重19.79卡的枕形錫蘭藍寶石，玫瑰式切割鑽石，明亮式切割圓鑽。 A 19.79-carat pillow-cut Sri Lankan blue sapphire, rose-cut diamonds and brilliant-cut round diamonds in 18-karat white gold.

為了讓製作團隊可以在悠閒而平靜的環境裡發掘及展現珍稀寶石的魅力和獨特的個性，卡地亞在巴黎市中心特別設立了一個保密的創作工作室，「設計師」會根據珍稀寶石的來源、價值和顏色分類，然後在一幅又一幅的水彩畫上描繪作品，最後只有一幅被保留和記錄下來。 To provide a quiet and peaceful environment for the production team to discover the charm and personality of each unique and colourful gemstone, Cartier custom-built a secret studio in the heart of Paris. Designers first categorize the gemstones according to origin, valuation and colour. For each piece, they create one watercolour drawing after another, until one design is selected.

Who doesn’t love to travel and explore exotic sites? But doing some research on your planned destination can mean the difference between an enjoyable holiday and a tiresome trip. So we enlisted the help of four world travellers to get some helpful hints and words of wisdom on everything from the varying weather patterns to respecting different dress codes in different countries.

伊朗與沙漠地區之旅

Iran and desert regIon

Joanne Cheuk主持網絡旅遊節目，曾到訪75個國家及地區，是朋友間的「旅遊資料庫」。到訪過伊朗及其他伊斯蘭國家的Joanne，表示不同地方對女性的衣著要求各有不同，做足資料搜集最重要。

as an online travel host, Joanne Cheuk has visited 75 countries and regions and is labelled by friends as the travel expert. she says it’s essential to do plenty of research before visiting Islamic countries, including Iran—especially for women, as the dress code varies widely.

eliteGen：伊朗當地對女性有衣著要求嗎？ Cheuk：到訪伊斯蘭國家的女性，要穿有袖上衣，最好是長至腳踝的褲或裙，要避免任何顯露身材、比方是貼身剪裁的衣服。記得去伊朗時，當飛機差不多抵達德黑蘭的時候，機艙服務員會提醒女乘客於下機前披上頭巾，由頭頂一直遮蓋到肩膀才算合標準。沒有披上頭巾的女性，有機會被拒入境。而進入清真寺參觀前，所有女性均要披上頭巾，褲或裙子必須長至腳踝；若沒有相關服飾，亦可以從寺內借圍巾遮著下半身。 eG：天氣方面有甚麼要注意？ Cheuk：早晚有溫差，尤其沙漠地區溫差會比較大，日間氣溫高達攝氏40度，晚上卻可能跌至18度，需要帶一件外套。雖然天氣熱，但最好還是穿長袖衣服，不是因為民風保守，而是避免手臂曬成兩截色。

eliteGen: Is there a specific dress code for women in Iran? Cheuk: Women visiting Islamic countries should wear tops with sleeves, in addition to long pants or ankle-length dresses. avoid tightfitting clothing that might accentuate your figure. I recall once while travelling to tehran, a flight attendant did a reminder announcement, telling us to put on headscarves (hijabs) before leaving the plane. It is a standard for women to cover from head to shoulder. If you fail to do so, you can be refused entry. In addition, all women need to wear hijabs, with ankle-length dresses or pants in order to enter mosques. Many mosques will provide hijabs to tourists. eG: Is there anything that requires special attention when it comes to weather? Cheuk: there is a huge temperature variance throughout the day in desert regions. It can go up to 40C during the day, and drop to 18C at night. as such, it is always a good idea to bring along a coat. additionally, it is wise to wear long sleeves, not just to respect the culture, but to avoid sunburn.

裝備建議

「我認為穿密頭鞋比較好，最重要是穿一雙易脫易穿的鞋，因為每次出入清真寺都要脫鞋，當你一天參觀四、五座寺的時候，你會感謝自己帶了一雙易穿的鞋。不妨多帶幾條圍巾，因為每天都要披上，加上天氣熱汗多，頭巾每一兩天便得清洗；況且由頭至肩都被圍巾覆蓋，幾乎是全身焦點，有多幾款顏色的頭巾，可配襯不同造型，拍照也好看得多。」

Essential Travel Tips

“Wear flats. Your feet will thank you. When you visit four to five mosques a day, it is important to have something easy and comfortable for your feet, as you need to remove your shoes when entering any mosques. Bring along scarves in different colours, styles and sizes. This is for practical reasons, since you need to use them to cover your head. They will get sweaty in such hot weather and need to be washed within a couple of days. For fashionistas, you’ll be Instagram ready.”

印度之旅

trekkIng through IndIa

Lucienne的印度之旅是蜜月旅行，二人選擇到印度中部Indore一座前身是皇室堡壘的酒店度假。先到孟買轉機，再坐火車去中部，回程時亦去了新德里。

It was an adventurous honeymoon trip to India for Lucienne Leungdavies. the couple landed in Mumbai, then took a train and stayed at a former royal castle in Indore. upon returning, they also touched base in new delhi.

eliteGen：在印度的衣著有甚麼守則嗎？ Leung-Davies：其實並沒有明文規定女遊客要作甚麼打扮，不過當地女性衣著十分保守，所以最好避免穿任何展露身形的衣服，熱褲、吊帶背心與貼身設計等可免則免。由於我住的酒店附近沒有商店及餐廳，一日三餐幾乎都在酒店進食。酒店由一位王子經營，每晚均在堡壘不同地方設宴，為了可以打扮得宜出席，所以要準備一些晚宴服飾。 eG：天氣方面有甚麼要注意？ Leung-Davies：我到印度時是12月，中部氣候比較溫和，溫差不大，日間大約攝氏三十度，晚上約二十度，穿一件薄外套已足夠。這趟旅程途經了印度不同海拔的城市，某些地區日夜溫差頗大。有次我們於凌晨轉火車，冷得我把所有衣服都穿上身，所以要多帶一點可以layering的衣物，如樽領上衣、薄針織衫、外套、披肩與leggings等。

eliteGen: Is there a particular dress code in India? Leung-Davies: there is no official dress code for female tourists, but local women dress fairly conservative. therefore, it’s best to avoid such things as camisoles, hot pants or tight-fitting clothing. there were absolutely no restaurants near the hotel so we had all our meals in the hotel. and since the hotel is managed by a prince, every evening he would host a banquet at different spots within the chateau. as a result, I was prepared with a few evening gowns so as to dress appropriately each night. eG: and the weather? Leung-Davies: I was there in december. the weather is mild near Indore, and temperature variance is manageable. during the day, it was about 30C and around 20C in the evening. a blouse is good enough. We travelled through different cities at a variety of altitudes and, as a result, experienced huge temperature differences. once we had a commuter train transfer at midnight. I was so cold I wore every single piece of clothing I had brought to keep myself warm. a good idea is to bring clothing you can layer, such as turtlenecks, shawls, sweaters, coats and leggings.

北歐極光之旅

經常參與時尚拍攝工作的Alva，熱愛旅行，早前Alva與一班朋友選擇到北歐芬蘭一睹大自然的奇幻極光。

alva Chung loves fashion and beauty, and regularly works on fashion photoshoots. But nothing compares to her passion for travelling. she and some friends recently journeyed to Finland to explore its northern nature and the spectacular aurora.

eliteGen：在冰天雪地的北歐，要怎樣保暖？ Chung：我到芬蘭時是二月，室外溫度幾乎都是攝氏零度以下，而且長時間在戶外，所以保暖十分重要。在寒冷地區，應該一層一層地穿衣，最底層是保暖內衣，之後是衛衣及抓毛薄外套，再穿羽絨，面層是防水防風的GORE-TEX外套(如羽絨褸本身防水便可不穿GORETEX)。下身則是雪褲，裡面加穿leggings。鞋子必須防水，除了穿保暖襪，我特別在網上買了毛毛鞋墊，比只穿襪暖得多，不過依然試過冷得我要在腳底貼暖貼。最後就是冷帽、頸巾與手套，戶外活動一定必備。

eliteGen: how did you keep warm in northern europe? Chung: I was there in February and it was constantly below 0C, but with lots of outdoor activities. hence, dressing in layers is crucial in order to maintain body temperature. the entire wardrobe should start with thermal underwear, then overlay with a sweater or fleece and then a water- and wind-proof down outer layer, such as goretex, for insulation. Make sure that you wear leggings underneath your snow pants. Finally, make sure you have waterproof winter boots, a scarf, gloves and a hat.

Essential Travel Tips

“Obviously I won’t look too stylish with this dress code, but to retain my fashion sense I added an extra wool layer underneath my trendy, but unwarm, winter hat.” “There is always heat indoors. As a result, you will always need to take off your snow pants once you get inside, so make sure that your leggings are presentable, and not your mom’s pajamas. “Electronics, like smartphones and cameras, can malfunction due to low temperatures, so be sure to check out heater packages for their protection prior to your trip. “The weather is extremely dry and windy, so remember to bring thick winter lotions and face cream for your dry skin. It will get absorbed in no time. And since you are often wearing scarves and hats, forget about makeup.” continued on page 60

經常隻身走遍各地的Kim，一直想去南美，終於有日在沒有太多計劃下出發，輕度遊秘魯、玻利維亞、智利、巴西與阿根廷。 eliteGen：南美幾個國家氣候如何？ Au：南美一年之中分雨季及旱季，我是三月出發的，屬雨季尾聲。各地氣溫、海拔都不同，秘魯的利馬與庫斯科的溫差已很大。海拔高的地方比較凍，我曾到玻利維亞Lake Titicaca中一個小島過一晚，那裡差不多四千米海拔，島上沒有電，晚上只得三、四度，冷得我要戴著冷帽才可以入睡。整個旅程基本上經歷了四季，由沙漠到冰川，由天空之鏡到 Patagonia，由攝氏三十多度至零度，準備行李頗令人頭痛。 eG：行李中怎樣包含四季衣服？ Au：由於事前沒有詳細計劃行程，以下是我的行裝：保暖內衣、短袖T恤、薄長褲、抓毛厚長褲、保暖leggings、用作內搭的薄羽絨外套、自以為充滿沙漠風情的薄外套、GORE-TEX薄大衣、冷帽、太陽帽、絲巾、一對防水靴。由於我們是邊玩邊計劃下一站目的地，於是當我和同行友人決定去冰川時，已知道手上衣物不夠；幸好，當地有雪褸出租(反正就是最醜的九十年代款式)，可是我不想花幾千元買新衣，醜就醜吧，這是事前不計劃的報應。

south aMerICan rIM at last, frequent flier kim au had a chance to experience Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Brazil and argentina without an agenda. eliteGen: how was the weather in those south american countries? Au: In south america, the weather mainly splits into rainy and dry seasons. It was the end of the rainy season when I visited back in March. altitudes and temperatures vary widely across regions, especially between Lima and Cusco in Peru. I stayed overnight on a small island at Lake titicaca in Bolivia. It is 4,000 metres above sea level, and there was no electricity. It was so cold overnight that I needed to wear a hat in order to keep warm and sleep through the night. We basically went through the four seasons during the trip. From desert to glacier, and from the sky mirror of Patagonia, it was quite a headache to prepare outfits to deal with temperatures ranging from 30C to the freezing point. eG: how do you pack for four seasons? Au: here is the list of clothing I brought with me: thermal underwear, a short-sleeved t-shirt, thin and wool pants, warm leggings, thin down jacket, gore-tex coat, winter hat and summer cap, a silk scarf, and lastly a pair of waterproof boots. We planned our spots along the way, and realized that we did not have enough clothing after we decided to visit the glacier. We were lucky that we found a place that rents old winter coats from the ’90s without breaking the bank. We all dressed like a goose because of our lack of planning.

裝備建議

「南美其實也有很好的餐廳，可能的話，帶一條像樣的裙子應付即興的fine dining。」「行山鞋以外，不妨多帶一對便鞋或涼鞋，方便在城市活動。去天空之鏡穿水靴最好，又或者索性穿拖鞋，因為我的靴浸完鹽水後已差不多報銷了。」「太陽帽十分重要！因為南美的陽光實在惡毒。布帽子方便收藏，亦不怕變形，適合粗心大意的人。」

Essential Travel Tips

“There are lots of nice fine-dining restaurants in South America. Bring along a decent dress for any ad hoc elegant feasts. “You should have a pair of comfortable shoes for urban areas. It is best to use rain boots at sky mirror, or simply just wear flip-flops so that the salt water there will not corrode your boots.” “The sun is really strong in South America, so make sure you bring along a proper sunhat.”

紋，微縮圖案設計和人字形針織互相搭配，成為眾人矚目的焦點。物料方面，品牌選用如茄士咩、亞麻、皮革、絲綢、山羊皮和科技纖維等優質衣料，製作孖襟西裝、卡夫坦長袍，圖案裙子和連衣裙等。 Marc Cain向以注重細節和精緻飾物聞名，在2019的春夏系列，大耳環、頭巾、彩色頭帶，精美包包和超輕的厚底優閒鞋，肆意散發夏日氣息。

S/S 2019 collection

What does luxury German womenswear designer Marc Cain have in store for Fall fashionistas? Forget about all black. He swapped that out for strong accentuating colours and new electrifying tones, which are the focus of his autumn winter collection. His daring colour cocktail combines pink, orange, coral with smoky blue, giving off a daring air of confidence. Other exciting patterns include a host of large scale animal prints like leopards and lions and stylized snakes, all of which adorn tunics, trousers, dresses and coats, while stripes, polka dots and flowers add a feminine playfulness to his cooler weather wardrobe. Also this season, masculine glen-plaid suits with ‘80s-influenced wide shoulders celebrate their fashionable comeback, but the brand also kept playful tracksuits in the mix for those who want comfort on the go. Knits and hoodies give every outfit a laid-back feel, while bowties and sequins

add a dressed-up element—a balance between ease and sophistication. Looking ahead to Cain’s Spring/ Summer 2019 collection, presented at Berlin Fashion Week, expect a more toned-down theme, such as the combination of blacks and whites next to more calm, earthy tones like terracotta, sisal and sand with a splash of bolder hues like green, blue, yellow and vivid pastels for added focal interest. Prints and patterns were strongly inspired by flora and fauna, but also by the influence of different global cultures with its combos of flowers, animal prints, horizontal stripes, miniature graphics and chevron knits, all back in the limelight. High-end cashmere, linen, leather, silk, goat velour and technical materials make up the fabrics of his tailored double-breasted suits, caftans, skirts and dresses. Topping it off, the brand’s signature for details and accessories that includes over-sized earrings, turbans and colourful headbands.

THE FINISHING TOUCH Rules and Regs

耳環在飾物當中有著不一樣的位置，體積可大可小，介乎於當眼與若隱若現之間，卻在一個女人的打扮上有著難以言喻的主導性。 Earrings may be one of the most ancient types of body adornment, but there are style standards to follow when it comes to adorning your lobes. Story | Sum Chan Photography | Shek Po Kwan Makeup | Deep Choi Hair | King Lee at Queen's Private I Salon Model | Nastya G.

正如Audrey Hepburn的一句話：「You can always tell what kind of a person a man really thinks you are by the earrings he gives you.」鏈狀的大方、環狀的型格、寶石的高貴、不規則的有趣又充滿藝術感。耳環的設計與佩戴方式，一定程度反映穿戴者的風格、氣質，以至個性。配搭上，一雙俐落的耳環比手鏈、頸鏈、戒指都要可取，亦易見點睛之效。名模劉雯曾經說過：「一對別致的耳環是一身造型的finishing touch。」個人特別欣賞法國女人的飾物配戴習慣，有耳環就不加項鏈，有手鐲就不見耳環，一得，其他就要捨。

Audrey Hepburn once said: “You can always tell what kind of a person a man really thinks you are by the earrings he gives you.” The design of earrings and the way they are worn can reflect the wearer’s style, class and personality. A pair of distinctive earrings will make a more resounding style statement than bracelets, necklaces or rings. Says supermodel Liu Wen: “A pair of unique earrings adds the finishing touch to styling. If you are not sure, follow these French women’s jewellery rules: either earrings or a necklace—not both. And no earrings if you wear bracelets. It’s a give and take.

Delvaux是世界上歷史最悠久的皮革品牌，1829年由創辦人 Charles Delvaux在布魯塞爾創立，是比利時皇家法院的官方供應商。 Delvaux現由First Heritage Brands擁有，積極發展業務到世界各地。堅守公司價值觀及製造最優質手袋的同時，有著近200年悠長歷史的Delvaux致力創新設計，結合最優秀的工藝傳統，傳承比利時文化的典雅堂皇和標誌象徵。在其超過3,000種設計的檔案中，最經典的作品是「Le Brillant」（1958）、「Le Tempête」（1967）、「Le Pin」（1972）和「Le Madame」（1977），以及最新的「Cool Box」（2018）。這些標誌性的手袋設計，奠定了Delvaux的成功和品牌地位，歴久不衰。

眾星捧場

Delvaux深受獨立、優雅、大膽、自由奔放的時代女性歡迎，她們欣賞Delvaux並不是以之來炫耀地位或財富，而是欣賞產品的細緻工藝及經典永恆。無論是品牌設計，以及製造過程中所使用的先進技術方法，每個工序皆採最高標準：精心以人手細挑皮革，創出獨特的袋子襯裹，成為品牌獨有的商標。Beyonce、Lady Gaga、Julianne Moore、 Olivia Palermo和比利時的Mathilde皇后等時尚女性均是品牌支持者。 Delvaux是獨特和含蓄優雅著稱的時尚世家，秉承比利時的超現實

品牌於1908年首次申請手袋專利權。上圖為sac Princesse手袋。 Delvaux filed its first patents for handbags in 1908. Pictured above is the sac Princesse.

Does Delvaux ring any bells? If not you may want to pay special attention to this luxury handbag maker that’s about to break out big time. Currently owned by First Heritage Brands, Delvaux is the oldest fine-leather goods manufacturer in the world. Founded by Charles Delvaux in Brussels in 1829, it holds the title as Official Supplier to the Belgian Royal Court. Delvaux has established a loyal following by remaining true to its values and its commitment to making bags of the utmost quality. Since its inception, the house of Delvaux has always strived to be avant-garde while honoring the finest traditions of craftsmanship as it conveys the grandeur, heritage and symbols of Belgian culture. Among its archives of more than 3,000 designs, Delvaux’s most iconic creations are the signature handbags known as Le Brillant (designed for the Brussels Worlds Fair in 1958), Le Tempête (1967), Le Pin (1972) and Le Madame (1977)—and the latest creation, the Cool Box (2018). These bags helped bring tremendous success and recognition to the house of Delvaux and built generations of fans among the world’s fashion cognoscenti.

THE DELVAUX CULTURE PHILOSOPHY Delvaux clients are people who value history, tradition and craftsmanship. They also look for something unique and special, and appreciate the company’s timeless designs, and its use of innovative and technically advanced methods. Delvaux products are almost architectural, sculptural pieces built to the highest standards. Striving for perfection, the company handpicks all its leathers. Even its linings have become a trademark. Each leather product is painstakingly built over many hours, resulting in highly-coveted accessories that are often handed down to future generations. Delvaux leather goods are instant classics that stand the test of time.

Since 2013, Delvaux has embarked on an international campaign of expansion to cement its strong reputation in the marketplace. Today, Delvaux has almost 40 boutiques worldwide with plans to open more global flagship stores around the world. As part of this ambitious strategy, Delvaux opened its first North American boutique in Vancouver in September 2015.

In Milan, Delvaux opened its first boutique in the historical Palazzo Reina and by the end of 2018, Delvaux will open its first U.S. flagship boutique in the heart of New York City.

They buy Delvaux less so for status and more for their classic appeal that’s made to last. Steeped in the spirit of Belgian surrealism, Delvaux brings a witty approach to its creations, imbuing each design with a strikingly unconventional take on luxury, all with the distinctive metallic D-tag.

注滿益生菌護膚動力

Skin-Loving Probiotics Story | Clarice Yik

存在於大自然的微生物益生菌，為健康帶來數之不盡的好處。每一滴Lancôme升級版嫰肌活膚精華肌底液及眼部精華露，均注入數以百萬計的益生菌。 Lancôme於2009年率先在嫰肌活膚精華肌底液，加入益生菌成分，並在2013進化為升級版。精華肌底液和眼部精華露的核心成分，是從雙歧桿菌和酵母精心提煉的特殊益生菌組合。 •雙歧桿菌提取物，能改善表皮的結構和分化功能，加強皮膚的屏障功能，極致提升肌膚抵禦外界影響的能力； •酵母能在真皮結構上發揮作用，促進基質基本成分的合成，使皮膚更加緊緻，豐盈。憑藉這種獨家益生菌配對，嫰肌活膚二重奏有助增加皮膚彈性、煥發健康肌膚的年輕神采，同時消除眼部區域的疲勞跡象，減少眼部輪廓老化跡象，讓女性散發非凡動人光彩。

Probiotics, those fascinating, naturally occurring micro-organisms, have been known for their many health virtues since ancient times. Lancôme infuses millions of them into every drop of Glow Duo’s Advanced Génifique Serum and Génifique Yeux eye cream.

Since 2009, Lancôme has been a pioneer in the industry by incorporating probiotic fractions into its Génifique serum, which became Advanced Génifique in 2013. At the heart of the formula for this iconic serum is an exceptional pairing of carefully selected probiotic fractions obtained from a bifidobacteria (bifidobacterium longum) and a yeast (saccharomyces cerevisiae)—also the active ingredients in the Génifique Yeux eye cream. With this exclusive probiotic pairing, these two products help achieve a more resilient skin that glows with youthfulness, while awakening the eye area by eliminating the signs of fatigue and reducing the first signs of aging. First, the bifidobacteria extract optimizes the structure and the differentiation of the epidermis, boosting the skin’s barrier function so that the skin can perform its role as a protective barrier. Second, the yeast acts on the structure of the dermis itself to promote the synthesis of the fundamental elements of the matrix, resulting in firmer, plumper skin. Glow Duo’s extraordinary aura and efficacy with women is almost certainly linked to the mysterious active ingredients it contains.

打造無瑕美肌

Simply radiant Caudalie’s Vinoperfect line combines French wisdom with Korean know-how Story | Leslie Yip Caudalie的VINOPERFECT產品，結合法國古老智慧及韓國的美肌奧秘。昔日的葡萄園，年輕女士們會把葡萄蔓汁液塗抹於面上，用以淡化黑斑，令膚色均勻透亮。 Caudalie的科研人員循這法國的古老智慧進行研究，成功從葡萄蔓汁液中萃取天然的亮肌因子 Viniferine。測試發現，Viniferine的淡斑及亮肌效果比維他C高出62倍。它透過抑制酪氨酸黑色素生成的過程，減淡色斑及均勻膚色，且無需採用過多的化學物質，最重要的是，它不會引起光敏性皮膚問題。當Caudalie創辦人Mathilde Thomas發現Viniferine的美肌功效後，反覆研究如何把它應用於產品之中。為此，她決定到訪韓國，了解當地女性對追求白皙水潤、無瑕如透明般美肌的奧秘。結果，她研發了全新VINOPERFECT Concentrated Brightening Essence 美白精華露，以配合人氣產品VINOPERFECT Radiance Serum精華液一同使用。全新的VINOPERFECT Concentrated Brightening Essence美白精華露質地水潤易推，配合精華液一同使用更可達至雙倍潤白淡斑效果。早晚潔膚後，用化妝綿或於手心取用精華露，之後塗上精華液。適用於各種黑斑及膚質，敏感肌膚亦合用。 In the vineyards of yesteryear, young girls would smear grapevine sap on their face to reduce dark spots and clarify their complexion. Turns out these girls were on to something. Researchers at Caudalie acted on this old French folk wisdom and succeeded in isolating Viniferine, a natural brightening ingredient. In vitro tests found that Viniferine is 62 times more effective than Vitamin C in inhibiting the action on tyrosinase, the enzyme that catalyzes the production of melanin and other pigments. It decreases the look of dark spots and brightens skin tone without the use of harsh chemicals, and more importantly, it does not cause photosensitivity. It was not enough for Caudalie founder Mathilde Thomas to discover Viniferine. She wanted to find the best way to apply it. Her research took her to Korea, she says, “where women cultivate the art of beauty with rare refinement, in pursuit of the eternal desire for translucent skin, as though suffused with water. Skin that is smooth, firm, moisturized and plump; porcelain skin with no dark spots.” As a result, she formulated Radiance Essence, a complementary product for the radically successful Radiance Serum. The essence is an essential step in the famous layering technique of Asian skincare. Aqueous yet rich, the radiance duo’s effectiveness is twice as great as that of the serum on its own. Just apply the essence after cleansing with a cotton pad or with your fingertips and follow with the Radiance Serum. This duo is effective on all kinds of dark spots and for all skin types, even the most sensitive.

The skin around the eyes is especially delicate tissue, so you must be extra careful when using skincare products in this area.

It can also help the skin fight environmental impurities.

ReVive Intensite Complete AntiAging Eye Serum 15ml $400 (nordstorm.com) 眼部精華素蘊含胜肽混合物成分，既可減淡細紋和皺紋，亦能促進天然膠原蛋白增生，使皮膚更細緻。 This eye serum contains peptide compounds and can both reduce fine lines and wrinkles, plus increase the growth of natural collagen that results in finer looking skin.

天生一對

Absolutely fAbulous Story | Leslie Yip Gucci Guilty系列自2010年面世以來，一直推出男女配對版香水，今年的新作Absolute Pour Femme，正是面世剛好一年的「男版」的完美伴侶。 Gucci創作總監Alessandro Michele以野生森林黑莓的香氣為Absolute Pour Femme定調。品牌首席調香師Alberto Morillas，加進濃郁辛辣的保加利亞玫瑰、佛手柑，廣藿香和龍涎香，再混合男版同樣採用的黃金木，調配出系列最新香薰。這瓶香薰散發西番蓮果香，以漿果味為基調，與男版的樸實木香相輔相承。打開Guilty Absolute Pour Homme的瓶蓋，皮革前調撲鼻而來，中調是Vetiver和Nootka柏木香，基調則由三種廣藿香油調配而成。兩種香薰可以單獨使用，也可以混合使用。 Gucci’s Guilty collection has always paired scents for men and women since its debut in 2010. This year, we see the launch of Absolute Pour Femme, created to complement the men’s version introduced a year ago. Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele’s vision for Guilty Absolute Pour Femme began with one note: the fragrance of blackberries in a wild forest. Maître perfumer Alberto Morillas added rich and spicy Bulgarian rose, bergamot, patchouli and ambergris, and blended it with goldenwood, the shared backbone of the two scents. The berry-toned chypre-fruity perfume nicely complements the ultra-dry woodsiness of its masculine counterpart Guilty Absolute Pour Homme, which opens with top notes of leather, supported by Vetiver and Nootka cypress, anchored with a base of three forms of patchouli oils. The two scents work well on their own, as well as mixed with each other.

He won a Michelin star for his Chinese culinary practice at the luxury and legendary Mandarin Oriental in Central district, and received the Best of the Best Culinary Award from the official Discover Hong Kong government tourism board twice, in 2006 and 2009 respectively.

香港米芝蓮一星餐廳卅二公館(Mott 32)的全球行政主廚李文星，親臨溫哥華，帶來了特別為溫哥華分店設計的多道夏秋新菜式，打造星級盛宴。 Michelin-star chef Man Sing Lee of Mott 32 Hong Kong brings his original Cantonese dishes to Vancouver. And they might be good for you.

卅二公館的設計中西合壁，旣有中式皇者氣派的堂皇大氣，也有英國上流社會的優雅時尚。 It’s East-meets-West for Mott 32. It blends the grand imperial Chinese atmosphere with the elegant British upper-class style.

李文星大廚告訴《星尚》：「由於香港和溫哥華的食材不盡相同，今次獻呈的新菜是特別採用本土食材炮製，比方是本地魚子醬、銀鱈魚、阿拉斯加蟹肉等，充份體現太平洋西海岸的海鮮特色。」從構思設計、精挑細選最優質食材、嚴謹的製作步驟，環環相扣，李文星為此要親𦲷𦲷𦲷𦲷𦲷𦲷𦲷𦲷𦲷𦲷𦲷及培訓。李文星對中式藥膳養生食療之道深有研究，重視人體陰陽五行運化之道，每個時皆有相應食物提高身心機能，以日常飲食滋補強身，可收預防疾病的作用。《黃帝內經》有云：「五穀為養，五果為助，五畜為益，五菜為充，氣味合而服之，以補益精氣」；李時珍亦在其《本草綱目》中列有多種日常食物的療效及食療藥膳方。

Hong Kong superstar chef Man Sing Lee has joined forces with Vancouver’s Mott 32 to create 11 new Michelin Star-worthy Cantonese dishes for local foodies. Says chef Lee: “We incorporated a number of local Pacific west coast fresh seafoods, such as caviars, codfish and Alaska king crab, to design and customize the new dishes for Vancouver Cantonese gastronomic fans.” To ensure the highest quality ingredients and production standards for their new dishes, as well as concept and design framework, Lee decided to lead the Vancouver team in person, coming from Hong Kong for training and guidance to deliver their best to Mott 32. For years, Lee has researched Chinese medicated diets and health care. In particular, he is keen on the importance of “yin and yang” by using a daily balanced diet to nourish and strengthen the human body. Through different food intakes at varying stages of life, the aim is to help benefit overall physical and mental health.

Some of the original innovative cocktails here add traditional Chinese herbs, such as ginseng, dried tangerine peel, perilla, fennel and star anise for added flavour, and follow the classic storage methodology— sorted and store inside the wooden drawers.

金箔黑魚子賽螃蟹餃這道賣相精緻的原創點心，取經自江南菜系中的賽螃蟹。以蛋白、帶子、石斑及香醋作為餡料，加上本地可持續魚子醬 Northern Divine caviar及食用金箔，倍添名貴。 Crab Meat and Scallop Dumplings in Golden Foil Caviar and Egg White A prestigious dish, evolved from Jiangnan cuisine’s famous egg white and crab mix plate. With extra scallops, herbs and caviars, plus layering edible golden foil on top, what a delicious and original presentation!

香酥銀鱈魚球取銀鱈魚最肥厚多肉的魚塊沾粉漿酥炸，火候掌握到家，炸層香脆而魚肉依然腴滑。 Crispy Codfish Balls Lee especially selected the fattest (and also the tastiest!) parts of the codfish and deepfried them. It is extremely crispy and smooth.

Mott 32的夏秋菜單，亦循此思路構想︰夏日暑濕懊熱，冬瓜可以去濕消暑清熱，蟹肉瑤柱冬茸羹自然成為暑天雋品。而番石榴葉及未熟果實是健康食品菝仔茶的主要材料，成熟果肉低熱量高纖維富維他命C，糖尿病人士亦適用，因此甜品番石榴金露正是以番石榴及有止咳化痰、潤肺清腸功效的秋收柚子為食材。

黑松露拌走地雞走地雞以黑松露醬涼拌，芫荽清鮮金蒜香脆，為菜式露加添口感。 Crab Meat and Scallop Dumplings in Golden Foil Caviar and Egg White This cold chicken appetizer comes with black truffles, crispy garlic and fresh parsley, which provides a refined palate.

李文星向來會因應不同地域或客源來設計新餐單及創新菜式。就如香港的卅二公館位於中環金融區，白人顧客較多，所以菜式會較多偏重於西人口味；溫哥華店則較重華裔口味。「我經常到外面試菜，今次的黑松露拌走地雞就是把在別的餐廳嚐過的菜式改良而成。」卅二公館以粵菜為主導，並兼顧京川名菜的高端中式料理，中國八大菜系自然也是主廚的創作源頭，李主廚續道：「我很欣賞曾在四川吃過的粟米酪，將之結合川味的宮保醬汁，便成為宮保蝦球粟米酪這道新菜。」 As such, Mott 32 and Lee launched the new seasonal dishes based on the above elements. The Chinese Preserving Melon Soup mixed with Crab Meat and Scallops helps to offset summer’s heat and humidity. The Guava with Sago sweet dessert—high in fibre, low in calories and rich in vitamin C—works best with folks that have diabetes. It also helps with cough and phlegm congestion. Lee has always been innovative, customizing his menu for his customer base. Mott 32 Hong Kong, located in the central financial distinct, is, therefore, skewed towards the preferences and interests of western clientele. With Mott 32 Vancouver, Lee skewed towards the oriental flare, saying, “The latest free range chicken in black truffles and parsley dish is an enhanced gourmet adventure.” Although Mott 32’s emphasis is on Cantonese cuisine, it also assimilates top cooking practices from Beijing and Sichuan province. “I truly enjoyed the corn soup that I had in Sichuan, so I combined it with Kung Pao sauce and introduced a new specialty main course,” says Lee.

Temper的大廚Steve Hodge。 Chef Steve Hodge in front of Temper.

Temper Pastry的東主Steven Hodge本來獲得獎學金到美國唸大學，希望成為一名美式足球員，最後卻進了烹飪藝術學校，打算成為廚師。「我曾想步父親後塵，成為股票經紀人。但當時的女朋友建議我考慮烹飪行業。」

“I went to university in the States on a partial scholarship and wanted to be a football player, but that didn’t work out,” concedes Hodge, owner of Temper Pastry. “So, I went back to school to take up culinary arts, with the intention of becoming a chef.

Hodge說自己向來是個鬥志高昂的人，愈不被看好，反而愈想做好。「說實話，我起初並沒有想過做糕點。有一天我在雜誌上看到精美的甜點照片，烹飪學校的導師說糕點大廚師是別樹一幟的，而我是永遠無法做到。正因為這番話，就在那一刻我決定集中精力朝糕點方向進發。」

Hodge admits he has always been a competitive person and that being told he can’t do something makes him want to achieve it even more.

歷錬後回歸溫哥華 2002年自加州廚藝學院畢業後，Hodge開始了他的職業生涯，首先在Glendale的Porto’ s Bakery麵包店工作，然後在舊Kodak Theatre （奧斯卡頒獎典禮舉辦場地）的Wolfgang Puck的 Spago Catering工作，最後在West Hollywood 名人如Kiefer Sutherland，Nicole Kidman和 Meg Ryan出入的Dominic’ s餐廳工作。經過近十年的國外洗鍊，Hodge決定回到溫哥華，跟隨Patrice Cordier和Dominique Jerry 學習糖製藝術，隨後成為Coast Restaurant 的行政糕點大廚，在那裡他遇到了未來的妻子Lara。其後Hodge與Lara結伴搬到倫敦，在Le Caprice、位於Royal Hospital Road的 Restaurant Gordon Ramsay、以及在Mayfair 著名的Wolseley等出色餐廳工作。在歐洲幾年後，這對夫婦重回到溫哥華，Hodge先是在 Thomas Haas工作了幾年，然後於2014年在西溫的Marine Drive上開了Temper Pastry。取名Temper源於Hodge朋友的提議，喜其雙重含義：既指朱古力形成為穩定晶體的加熱和冷卻過程，也指導人的心理狀態。

“At first, I wanted to follow in my dad’s footsteps and be a stockbroker. But at the time, I was dating a girl who suggested that I consider a culinary career.”

“I didn’t start out wanting to do pastries, to be honest,” he says. “The chef at my culinary school told me that I would never be able to do these as pastry chefs were in a league of their own. So naturally, making pastries became the next big challenge for me. I decided to focus my efforts on making pastries right there and then.” After graduating from California School of Culinary Arts in 2002, Hodge began his career working at Porto’s Bakery in Glendale, Calif., and then at Wolfgang Puck’s Spago Catering at the old Kodak Theatre in Hollywood (where the Academy Awards ceremony is held), and finally Dominic’s Restaurant in West Hollywood, frequented by such celebrities as Kiefer Sutherland, Nicole Kidman and Meg Ryan.

TIMe To CoMe HoMe eventually, Hodge decided to come back to Vancouver as he’d been away for almost 10 years. Here he learned sugar art from Patrice Cordier and Dominique Jerry and then became executive pastry chef at Coast Restaurant, where he met his future wife Lara. After learning all he could in the city of his birth, Hodge felt primed for one more adventure, so he and Lara moved to London where Hodge ended up working at some of the best restaurant, like Le Caprice, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay on Royal Hospital Road and the prestigious Wolseley Restaurant in Mayfair.

他的朱古力創作，現已在溫哥華不同地方批發出售。 His chocolate creation is sold wholesale at different outlets in Vancouver.

After a few years in europe, the couple returned to Vancouver, where Hodge worked at Thomas Haas for several years before they both finally opened Temper Pastry in 2014 at their current Marine Drive location in West Vancouver. The name Temper was suggested by a friend of Hodge’s because of its a dual meaning: (1) it refers to a process of heating and cooling chocolate to form stable crystals; (2) the state of mind of a person. “We decided to set up shop in Dundarave, which is where I grew up and which has that small-town community feel,” Hodge says.

eNJoyING THe TeMPeR PASTRy DINING exPeRIeNCe The crowd that gathers at Temper Pastry is a sophisticated and well-travelled one — huge fans of his pastries and chocolates. Hodge’s quiche Lorraine is considered by many to be the best-tasting version in all of Vancouver. His almond croissants and Charlie Bite (named after his daughter) cinnamon buns are also among his best-sellers. There is an abundance of mosaics, marble and light-coloured wood finishes at Temper Pastry that lend a contemporary flavour to the space. Patrons also enjoy the airy interior, the exposed kitchen and the shop’s casual vibe. Temper’s street-facing patio is often packed, especially when it’s sunny and warm. “I get a lot of regulars,” Hodge says, “and some of them end up becoming friends with the other regulars.” He says his sister recently became a partner and is helping him with the wholesale side of the business. “We’ve recently rebranded, and currently, our chocolate products are sold at edible Canada in Granville Island, Nordstrom and the Fairmont Pacific Rim. Later on, I would like to open a downtown location at some point and take Temper across Canada and also California, where it all started for me.”

Wine not?

火燒旺地？

A silver lining? My wine-loving buddies often toy with this question: Is wine of the element metal, wood, water, fire or earth? Well, the Napa Valley wildfires of 2017 left it choking on fire. But one vineyard says it might be a blessing in disguise

身邊愛喝酒的人們，摸著酒杯底時，最常問的問題：到底葡萄酒在金、木、水、火、土五行中屬哪一行？ Story | Ivan Wong

去年大火時葡萄已開始進行發酵程序，但火災導致的大停電就讓好些壓搾後的汁液無法正常發酵而要報廢。 The power failure caused by the fire crippled the fermentation process that had already started, and a whole batch of juice from the grapes had to be discarded at the Bond Estate at Oakville. 98

水與土，都是製造葡萄酒所要強調的terroir（風土氣候）中主要元素，是葡萄酒風味的主要命脈。但堪輿學問反映的是中國人的價值觀念，對於紅酒，著眼點在於它的顏色與特質及給人的觀感，有說一切含酒精的飲料就都屬火，紅色屬火，喝了紅酒後又多會面紅耳亦，就更是火上加火了。「火旺」之地加州葡萄酒產區Napa Valley，去年秋天便經歷了一次規模龐大的山火，幸好葡萄在災前早已收成，要不然，不少酒莊便沒有2017這個年份了。在今次山火中，相對好些酒莊全部窖藏付之一炬隨煙飛而言，植根 Napa Valley的Oakville地區專產單一酒莊（single vineyard）精品的Bond Estate，酒莊主管Scott Gould說大概是1217%吧，主要是因為在發酵過程中停電所引致。他說大火後帶有各種金屬礦物的灰燼會滲進土壤裡，土壤成分將有所改變；但又未必是壞事，好些金屬礦物是對土壤有利的，一切還有待日後觀察與研究。但可以肯定的是，本來價格和受歡迎程度已等同波爾多一級酒莊的Napa Valley頂級出品，經此火一燒後，2017 年份市價應又將會被搶至另一高峰了。 Water and earth are the key elements that determine the quintessential terroir of a wine. The five elements belong to a school of traditional Chinese wisdom. Red wine, for example, is said to be of the fire element, given its colour and how it turns one’s face red, akin to stoking the fire, as in the case of all alcoholic beverages. California’s Napa Valley must be a land choking with the fire element. Last autumn, a major hill fire devastated the region. Thankfully, the grapes were harvested before the catastrophe, or a number of wineries would have gone without any 2017 vintage.

Bond主攻100% Cabernet Sauvignon，單一葡萄園出品分別是Melbury、St. Eden、Quella、Vecina及Pluribus，年產量平均約2,500箱，2017年份要醞釀至2020年才裝瓶。 Bond mainly produces 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. The single vineyards in the region also include Melbury, St. Eden, Quella, Vecina and Pluribus. They produce an average of 2,500 cases annually. The 2017 production will be bottled in 2020.

到底山火灰燼滲進這片得天獨厚土壤後，影響敦好敦壞？還有待研究。 It remains to be seen whether the fire turns out to be a blessing in disguise for the soil.

Some Napa wineries lost everything in their cellars in that fire. Bond Estate, a boutique winery in Oakville—an area known for single vineyards—lost upwards of 17 per cent of its collection, as the power failure caused by the fire affected fermentation. Bond director Scott Gould says the fire caused ashes containing all types of minerals and metal to penetrate the soil and affect its composition. But it may not be a bad thing, as certain metallic minerals are beneficial for the soil. We shall wait and see if it’s a blessing in disguise. What is certain is that the value of the 2017 vintage of premium Napa Valley products, ones that rival top-tier Bordeaux production, will be pushed to a new height, no thanks to the fire.

Oakville山中一隅的Bond Estate，難以想像如此美景被山火蹂躪當下的天昏地暗。 It’s frightening to imagine what the fire has done to such spectacular scenery at the Bond Estate at Oakville.

英屬處女群島龍蝦之旅

Lotsa lobsters

Anegada島距離英屬處女群島首府Tortola約35公里，是群島火山鏈中唯一的珊瑚島。和暖的水溫、淺水的環境，加上養分充足的珊瑚礁，盛產肉質鮮甜的龍蝦，並以島嶼為名，定名為Anegada龍蝦。 Indulge in the king of seafood in British Virgin Islands, the lobster capital of the Caribbean Story | Leslie Yip Photography | Leslie Yip, Jordana Wright, BVI Tourism

Anegada龍蝦屬刺龍蝦，跟常見的大西洋鹹水龍蝦（又稱波士頓龍蝦）不同，沒有平滑的甲殼，反而長滿了尖刺，雖沒有大箝，卻有肉質豐厚的龍蝦尾，口感更鮮甜，更有咬勁。由於Anegada龍蝦鮮甜味美、產量豐富加上供應期長 – 由11月至6月底共8個月，令英屬處女群島成為加勒比地區的龍蝦首府，是到訪當地的必吃美食。

地道秘製食譜烹調龍蝦最常見的方法就是燒烤，而當地廚師則各有自家秘技。來自Scrub島Caravela餐廳的Chef Lascell Stone，崇尚簡單的烹飪哲學。他說：「龍蝦必定要新鮮，我們的龍蝦供應商是兩位擁有超過40年經驗的本地漁民，龍蝦於養殖場飼養直至烹調前才會從龍蝦籠內取出。」「調味方面愈簡單愈好。只需以鹽、鮮磨胡椒及牛油來帶出龍蝦本身的鮮甜，然後以錫紙包裹燒烤至半熟，除去錫紙繼續烤直至微焦便成，上菜時伴以檸檬及醮已煮溶的牛油。」至於Tortola的Long Bay上Tropical Fusion餐廳的 Chef Kenneth Molyneaux是該國國家烹飪隊的前隊長，去年贏得年度廚師的殊榮，名字更被列入邁亞密年度加勒比美食大賽的名人堂。他的烹調心得則是：「首先把龍蝦尾開邊，並在龍蝦肉每隔一吋橫向切割。然後在煲中加入約一吋高的水並放入龍蝦（龍蝦殼向下），再加入洋蔥粒、蒜、牛油、白酒、青檸汁及原粒黑胡椒，煮至龍蝦殼轉為紅色，肉身脹起。然後將龍蝦取出起肉。龍蝦肉混入蒜蓉、洋蔥、芫荽及煮溶牛油，以大火燒烤約一分鐘。最後把肉放回殼內，加入少許牛油便成。」

Thirty-five kilometres from Tortola, the capital of the British Virgin Islands, is a lone coral island amidst a massive stretch of volcanic archipelago. The warm shallow water flats and nutrient-rich reefs produce lobsters so succulent and sweet, locals name them after the area—Anegada lobsters. Anegada lobsters are of the spiny variety. They differ from their Atlantic counterparts, often called Boston lobsters. Instead of a smooth shell, they are covered with large spines. They also lack large claws—they are prized just for their meaty tails. Tastewise, they are often said to be sweeter and more tender. Due to the deliciousness, abundance and long season—spanning eight months from November to the end of June—the BVIs are known as the lobster capital of the Caribbean. A visit their is not complete without indulging at least once.

LoCAL Chefs shAre seCreT reCIpes The most classic way to prepare the lobsters is to grill them, and local chefs have their own trick up their sleeves. Chef Lascell stone from Caravela restaurant on scrub Island swears by simplicity: “The lobster must be fresh. We get ours from two local fishermen who have been in business for more than 40 years; we keep them alive and kicking in a lobster cage at our marina until we are ready to cook them. “for seasoning, the simpler the better. Accentuate its natural sweetness with a sprinkle of salt and freshly ground black pepper, top with butter, wrap in foil and grill until the meat is partially cooked. Then, remove the foil and grill the meat until it is slightly charred. serve immediately with half a lemon and some melted butter for dipping.” Chef Kenneth of Tropical fusion restaurant in Long Bay, Tortola has a different take. former captain of the BVI Culinary Team, he brought great excitement to the Islands last year by winning Chef of the Year and being inducted into the hall of fame in Miami’s annual Taste of the Caribbean Competition. “first of all, butterfly the lobster tail and make horizontal incisions in the meat, one inch apart,” says Molyneaux. “Lay shell-side down in a pot with an inch of water. Add chopped onions, garlic, butter, white wine, lime juice and whole black peppercorns on top, and boil until the shell turns red and the meat puffs up. “Next, remove from water and separate the meat from the shell. Mix the meat with minced garlic, onion, cilantro and melted butter, and grill for about a minute over high heat. return meat to the shell, and serve with another dollop of butter.”

如何挑選龍蝦

How to pick a lobster

為什麼要懂得分辨公龍蝦及母龍蝦？分辨方法主要看靠色澤，母龍蝦的韻色較淡，而且近嘴部的爪上會多一隻「手指」。 Chef Molyneaux說燒烤的話，他較喜歡母龍蝦。因為母龍蝦生長速度較快，換殼次數較頻密，如果剛好在脫殼後捕捉到，肉質最是有咬勁。

How do you tell the difference between a male and a female lobster? And why does it matter? Chef Molyneaux says that he prefers female lobsters for grilling because they grow faster and change their shells more often, and if you catch them right after they molt, you get the most tender meat. They are distinguished by being slightly paler in colour, with an extra “finger” on the claw closest to the mouth. Chef Molyneaux ELITEGEN

當地人至愛的咖喱龍蝦

CurrY LoBsTer: A LoCAL fAVourITe

Chef Molyneaux說兩磅半至四磅重的龍蝦最適合用來燒烤。大隻的龍蝦肉質較韌，用來做脆炸龍蝦lobster fritters或龍蝦咖喱就最適合不過。當地有很多有著印度及特立尼達島（Trinidadian）血統的居民，龍蝦咖喱更是當地人的最愛。「把龍蝦肉炒至剛剛熟，然後加入微辣的咖喱汁，並混入西芹

Chef Molyneaux says the best lobsters for grilling weigh between 2½ and four pounds. Larger lobsters can be tough, but are perfect for making lobster fritters or lobster curry, favourites that harken back to the Indian and Trinidadian roots of the locals. “sauté the meat ’til it is al dente, then fold into a mild curry sauce made chunky with chopped celery, carrots and onions,” says Molyneaux.

配的組合卻又出奇地合襯，酸酸甜甜的果香令咖喱更為惹味。

Molyneaux serves the dish with a balsamic vinegar and mango salsa, which may seem an unlikely pairing, but the sweetness and fruitiness does a magical trick to tame the fire in the curry.

嚐遍島上龍蝦美食

WANNA TrY TheM ALL?

粒、紅蘿蔔及洋蔥。」上菜時伴以意大利黑醋及芒果salsa，看似錯

每間餐廳都有其特色龍蝦菜，一年一度的Anegada龍蝦節則可讓你嚐遍所有餐廳。多位當地廚師如Molyneaux及Stone等於一連兩日的節慶中大顯身手，帶來多款創意龍蝦美食。每道菜的試食價只需$5，如果沒能試勻全部美食，似乎有點說不過去。將於今年11月24及25日舉行的Anegada龍蝦節，是英屬處女群島美食節其中一個重要環節。以龍蝦作主題的「喝通關」（bar crawl）將於活動前一天舉行，參加者將乘坐吉普車或以滑板車，盡情探索這個美食小島。

With so many restaurants serving lobsters in so many ways, it’s no easy feat to try them all in one visit to these islands, but the annual Anegada Lobster festival lets you come close. Local chefs like Molyneaux and stone showcase their creativity in this two-day extravaganza to create the most delicious crustacean creation. At $5 a plate, there’s just no excuse not to sample everything. An integral part of the annual BVI food fete, it takes place this year on the weekend of November 24. There is a lobster-themed bar crawl the day before, where attendees embark on a culinary island adventure in a safari jeep or a scooter. For more info, visit bvifoodfete.com/anegada-lobster-festival

薑島、牛肉島、鹽島還有……處女島？

Ginger, Beef, Salt and...Virgins?

英屬處女群島由60個島嶼及岩礁組成，當中很多島嶼的名字都跟其產物有關。比方薑島（Ginger Island）因盛產薑而得名，牛肉島（Beef Island）顧名思義是專門飼養牛隻的島，而專門生產rum酒酒桶的島就索性名為Cooper Island，鹽島（Salt Island）上果真有三個鹽湖。

The British Virgin Islands are made up of 60 islands and cays, many of which are named after their historic function. Thus, Ginger Island was where ginger was farmed, Beef Island was where cattle was raised, Cooper Island was where casks were made for rum production, and Salt Island was named after its three salt ponds.

至於英屬處女群島英文名字中的virgin一字，則要多得航海家哥倫布。當他在1493年第二次前往美國時，他發現了這群島火山鏈，並起名Santa Ursula y las Once Mil Vírgenes （即聖女烏蘇拉及她的11,000名童貞女）來紀念聖女烏蘇拉的傳奇。後來名字縮短為Las Vírgenes (即 The Virgins).

As for the reference to “virgin” in Virgin Islands, Christopher Columbus takes the credit. When he discovered this volcanic archipelago in 1493 on his second voyage to the Americas, he named them Santa Ursula y las Once Mil Vírgenes (Saint Ursula and her 11,000 Virgins) after the legend of Saint Ursula. It was later shortened to Las Vírgenes (The Virgins).

走訪德國三大汽車博物館

Germany's 'Motown'

Take a drive with us to visit BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche museums Story | Marc Atchison from TraveLife

汽車工業在德國舉足輕重，位於德國西南部的 Stuttgart被稱為德國汽車城 (Motown)，平治、保時捷和寶馬三大品牌單是在Stuttgart 及慕尼黑已有多達50萬名員工。在Stuttgart，不管是路牌、廣場、公共建築物、銀行及球隊，都可見到汽車品牌的名字。事實上，當你步出 Stuttgart的中央車站，首先見到的就是車站鐘樓上的巨型平治品牌標誌。 The importance of the car industry in Germany cannot be understated, especially in Stuttgart and Munich where the three brands above employ about 500,000 people. Volkswagen, the largest of the German brands, which also owns Porsche and Audi, employs another 500,000 Germans. No wonder Stuttgart is called Germany’s “Motown.” You see the car company names everywhere in Stuttgart—on street signs, squares, public buildings, banks and sports teams. In fact, the first thing you see when you leave Stuttgart’s main rail station is a giant Mercedes-Benz emblem on top of the station’s clock tower. “Many people think the Mercedes-Benz logo is Stuttgart’s coat of arms,” says local guide Elisabeth Mohr.

豪華的德國汽車品牌已成為中國中產階層的身份象徵，因此博物館吸引了不少年輕的華裔才俊及富二代慕名前來參觀，每日都由一車車的巴士接載到訪。保時捷的高科技博物館於2009年在Stuttgart開幕。由 Stuttgart中央車站乘S6路線，約20分鐘車程便到達 Porscheplatz。保時捷的總部便座落於此，對面則是壯觀的保時捷博物館。

Porsche

保時捷博物館面積60,000平方呎，雖較平治博物館小，但精彩程度絕不遜色。博物館由一家維也納建築公司打造，設計體現保時捷的開放性和親切感，建築物以玻璃作外牆，並由三個V字型柱子支撐，看上去彷彿一塊巨石懸浮於空中。完美展現保時捷的魅力。博物館外三個正在衝上雲霄的保時捷跑車雕塑，亦非常吸睛。

Young, affluent Chinese tourists are especially drawn to the museums and arrive by the busloads each day. The luxury German brands have become status symbols among China’s growing middle class. The first stop is the Porsche museum. So I board the S6 train at Stuttgart’s main rail station and, 20 minutes later, arrive at Porscheplatz—a square dominated by the legendary race car company’s head office and plant, with its gleaming museum on the opposite side. Porsche, refusing to take a back seat to Mercedes-Benz, opened it’s own high-tech museum in Stuttgart in 2009. While much smaller than the MercedesBenz Museum—this one is just 60,000 sq. ft.—the Porsche Museum is no less impressive. Designed by a Viennese architecture firm to reflect Porsche’s philosophy of approachability, the glazed-glass building, thanks to its three V-shaped supporting columns, looks like it’s floating above the ground like a monolith. So Porsche. An exterior sculpture of three Porsche models shooting into the sky is also eye-catching. Inside, more than 80 vehicles, some dating back to Ferdinand Porsche’s first prototype in 1948, are displayed in a bright, airy environment.

明亮、寬敞的博物館展出了超過80台汽車，部分更是品牌創辦人Ferdinand Porsche於1948年研發的原型車。

Porsche, which celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2018, is the most profitable car brand in the world, and a display case filled with trophies lets museum visitors know it’s also one of the most decorated.

於今年慶祝成立70周年的保時捷，是全球最賺錢的汽車品牌，而館內展示的一個個獎盃亦提醒大家，它同時是獲獎最多的汽車品牌之一。

When I reach the exhibition floor, I’m greeted by a Porsche 356 No. 1 Roadster representing the origins of the sports car. Close by is an artfully designed Porsche Mission E electric car, the first purely electrically powered Porsche, which makes its market debut in 2019.

走進展廳，迎接我的是一台保時捷356 No.1 Roadster，它代表著最早期的跑車。不遠處展示著一台充滿藝術感的保時捷Mission E電動車，它是品牌首台全電能驅動的汽車，預計於2019正式出台。

There’s plenty of 911 models, too—it’s Porsche’s biggest seller—including an Irish Green Coupé, the one-millionth unit that rolled off the assembly line in 2017.

場內當然少不了保時捷最熱賣的911，當中包括於2017年出廠的第一百萬輛911–車身顏色為愛爾蘭綠的硬頂911。

保時捷的電動車將於明年在歐洲正式面世，參觀者可在博物館內先睹為快。 Porsche’s new electric car makes its debut on the roads of Europe next year.

平治博物館去年便招待了接近一百萬名遊客入場參觀。我懷著既期待又興奮的心情，「首名衝線」買得入場票。

面積達16,500平方呎的平治博物館共展出了160輛汽車，包括最早期的汽車、古董車、經典跑車、概念車及引擎，還展出了平治特別為已故教宗保祿二世設計的外訪用專車。從中可以看到創辦人Karl Benz研發汽車的歷程，以及平治車輛的演變。8樓的展廳更帶我穿越到1886年，當時Karl Benz正式為其研發的汽油驅動汽車申請專利，有助觀眾了解品牌的基本理念。平治博物館的室內佈局採用螺旋式設計，展廳按時間

My heart is revving so fast I think it’s about to jump out of my chest as I anticipate what awaits me inside the Mercedes-Benz Museum. When the doors finally open, my legs kick into overdrive and I’m the first to buy a ticket.

A few seconds later, I’m at the starting line of this state-of-the-art auto museum in Stuttgart, Germany that welcomed almost one million visitors last year. “Go,” says the attendant, and I rush to a futuristic pod that carries me eight storeys (34 metres) above the circular museum entrance. I step off into a lovely exhibition hall where I begin to learn how Karl Benz invented the world’s first gas-powered automobile and how the Mercedes-Benz brand has evolved over the decades. The eight-floor exhibit transports me back in time—to 1886 when Benz applied for a patent on his “gas-powered vehicle” and the roots of Mercedes-Benz took hold.

“The Chinese spend hours here taking photographs of the cars and learning our (Mercedes-Benz) history,” an attendant tells me. There’s plenty to see in the vast, 180,000 square-foot Mercedes-Benz Museum, which is crammed with more than 160 vehicles, including the earliest forms of transportation, vintage models, legendary race cars, concept cars, engines and even a Popemobile, which was specially designed by Mercedes-Benz for overseas trips taken by Pope John Paul II. The unique spiral design of the Mercedes-Benz museum allows visitors to go on a chronological tour using ramps instead of stairs. The ramps’ walls are lined with pictures of historic events in which the automobile has played an important role. Each of the museum’s 12 galleries offer some special surprises. On the seventh floor, the “Birth of the Brand” gallery showcases MercedesBenz’s earliest models and the “Gallery of Voyagers” next to it traces the company’s foray into mass transit, with the introduction of the motorized bus in 1895. When I reach the fifth floor, I see dozens of people huddled around a classic cream-coloured 1955 300 SL Coupe. “This car really gets a lot of attention,” an attendant guarding the museum gem tells me. The museum’s fourth floor houses a gallery featuring cars made specifically by Mercedes-Benz for VIPs. Besides the Popemobile, the collection includes a 1993 Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.3 owned by actor Nicolas Cage, a 1930s 770 Grand Mercedes cabriolet F once owned by former German Emperor Wilhelm II during his exile in the Netherlands and, my favourite, a vehicle made specifically for the 1993 Hollywood blockbuster Jurassic Park. On the third floor, I get a glimpse into Mercedes’ future. That’s where its electric-car technology is showcased. Race car fans will love the second floor, where the company’s long involvement in racing—it started in 1934 —is celebrated with an exciting racetrack display of vintage and most recent “Silver Arrow” models. My Mercedes-Benz tour ends when I reach the museum’s lower level, where a giant gift shop and restaurant are located. The floor also features an “All Time Stars” section, where people can purchase vintage models. While I line up to buy a miniature of a Mercedes-Benz Formula 1 race car, several Chinese visitors are negotiating the purchase of one of the classic cars, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. The Mercedes-Benz Museum is located at 100 Mercedesstrasse, next to the 60,000-seat Mercedes-Benz Arena where Stuttgart’s soccer team in the premier Bundesliga plays.

special travel supplement

計新穎的 B M W 設 World及BMW博物館，毗鄰1972慕尼黑奧林匹克運動場。 The futuristic BMW Welt and BMW Museum complex sits next to the 1972 Munich Olympic Park.

位於慕尼黑的寶馬博物館，是三者中最令人難忘。 BMW博物館及BMW Welt (BMW世界)距離集團全球總部只有一街之隔，在BMW Welt你可以深入認識品牌的概念車及最新型號，更可以在偌大的場館內試駕品牌的全新電動車。內裡更有一間米芝蓮兩星餐廳EssZimmer，由德籍名廚Bobby Bräuer主理，主打帶地中海及地區色彩的法式美食，據說這裡一檯難求，成功訂位頗有難度。不少加國車主在新車出廠後，更會專程飛抵當地取車。「我們每星期約有3至6位加國車主前來取車，之後他們可以駕著新車暢遊歐洲，兩至三星期後交還後，我們便會把車運到加拿大。」BMW Genius (品牌產品專家) Matthias Kremer在BMW Welt大樓向我說道。

Then, there’s the BMW Museum in Munich. I drop my bags at the chic Ruby Lilly Hotel near the historic quarter and jump on the “U” (Underground) in the direction of BMW Welt, located next to the city’s 1972 Olympic Stadium. The BMW Museum and BMW Welt (World), where Canadian customers regularly pick up their newly made BMW in person—manufactured at the company’s global headquarters across the street—was the most impressive of the three, and for good reason. BMW Welt even has a two-star Michelin restaurant on site. “We get between three and six Canadians a week who pick up their car, go on a two- or three-week driving trip around Europe before returning the car here and we ship it to Canada for them,” says BMW representative Matthias Kremer. I suggest you visit the BMW Welt facility before going to the museum across the street. BMW Welt lets you kick the tires, so to speak, on concept cars and new models. It’s so big you can actually drive one of the company’s new electric cars around the gigantic showroom floor.

BMW i8絕對是全場焦點。 The BMW i8 is a show stopper. The company promises to have 25 electric models by the year 2025.

在博物館的低層展廳可認識BMW在研發電單車的悠久歷史。 BMW’s long motorcycle history is celebrated in the lower part of the multi-tiered museum.

以碳纖維零件製造的BMW電動車–小巧的I-3及超快的 I-8，同樣是焦點所在，Kremer更透露到了2025年，BMW將提供多達25電動車供選擇。由於BMW同時擁有Mini及勞斯萊斯，場來亦展出了不少車款，各款Mini更深受女士們歡迎。於1973年開幕的BMW博物館，室內設計跟平治博物館十分相似，參觀者可沿室內坡道認識品牌的歷史。多個展廳都可欣賞到古董BMW汽車，更特別介紹其電單車發展的輝煌歷史。 BMW Welt位於1 Am Olympiapark，有行人天橋連接BMW 博物館。

As soon as I enter, a sleek Z4 Roadster catches my eye. “The Z4 will debut next year,” BMW’s Kremer tells me of the brand’s return to the Roadster category, which it abandoned a few years ago. The Chinese are salivating over this car with the shark-shaped front and a grill that’s much different than the company’s signature vertical design. “The new grill is what’s really getting a lot of attention,” Kremer says. “Our Chinese customers want to take it home with them.” BMW’s electric cars, the compact I-3 and the super-fast I-8, both built with carbon-fibre parts, also get a lot of attention and Kremer tells me that by 2025, BMW will be offering 25 electrically-powered models. Because BMW also owns Mini and Rolls-Royce, there’s lots of those models on display. The Minis seem to be the car of choice for BMW Welt’s female visitors. The Michelin-recognized EssZimmer restaurant sits perched above the BMW Welt showroom and features French cuisine with Mediterranean and regional influences. Noted German chef Bobby Bräuer oversees the EssZimmer kitchen and getting a table here is harder than buying a Z4 concept car. The BMW Museum, which opened in 1973, is similar in design to the Mercedes-Benz facility in Stuttgart where visitors are transported through the company’s proud history on long ramps. Vintage BMWs fill the museum’s many galleries and the company pays special tribute to its proud motorcycle history. BMW Welt is located at 1 Am Olympiapark and is connected to the BMW Museum by a stylish walking overpass.

Rolls-Royce has entered the world of the SUV with the four-wheel-drive Cullinan. Marking a milestone in the automobile brand’s history, Rolls-Royce US president Pedro Mota believes they’ve got themselves a winner. “There is a strong demand for functional vehicles,” he says. “The Cullinan will bring a luxurious driving experience with its allterrain four-wheel drive.

精湛造藝如坐魔毯

ExquisitE Artistry

由設計總監Giles Taylor為首的工程設計團隊，將Cullinan打造成為全城最豪華的SUV。全新的鋁合金框架結構是整部汽車之創作靈魂。設計更可用應用於不同領域、尺寸和重量的車型，能配合使用各款推進系統、牽引系統和控制系統等。

Masterminded by an engineering team led by design director Giles taylor, Cullinan is hailed as an suV offering the “pinnacle of luxury”. the innovative aluminium frame is the pièce de résistance. the design can be applied to vehicles for various terrains, sizes and weights, for any form of transmission, powertrain or control system.

動力方面，Cullinan沿用6.75公升V12雙渦輪增壓引擎，最大輸出馬力為563bhp，而四輪轉向系統則提供了前所未有的駕駛體驗。 Cullinan工程項目負責人Caroline Krismer解釋道，「融入新科技突顯了 Cullinan的非凡能力，能延續勞斯萊斯『有如魔毯般的乘坐體驗』，亦確保它在豪華SUV界中保持著領先地位。」在這個SUV普及的世代，Cullinan作為當中首部三廂式全能高身汽車，絕對可滿足客戶的冒險慾望。Cullinan 提供後排3座和2座獨立座椅，乘客還可選擇利用獨特的玻璃隔牆跟後排分隔，令車艙與行李艙完全隔絕，打造獨特寧靜的乘坐空間。隸屬OpenRoad汽車集團的溫哥華勞斯萊斯汽車之家於5月中旬正式揭幕，是加拿大唯一獨立的勞斯萊斯經銷商，單一銷售勞斯萊斯名車。位於溫哥華西區的勞斯萊斯汽車之家，佔地4,500平方呎，設有兩層展廳，室內裝潢優雅高端，可容納多達六台勞斯萊斯座駕。 OpenRoad汽車集團總裁兼行政總裁Christian Chia於開幕儀式中表示深感榮幸能與勞斯萊斯合作，「今次除了慶祝新經銷商正式開幕，也是勞斯萊斯首次在北美展示全新Cullinan。世界上最佳汽車品牌之一選址溫哥華舉辦如此盛大的發佈會，可想而知本地的汽車市場是如何強大！」

in terms of power, Cullinan’s twin turbocharged 6.75-litre engine generates 563 horsepower and the all-wheel drive system offers an unprecedented driving experience. “the integrated new technology underpins Cullinan’s superior power,” explains Cullinan’s chief engineer, Caroline Krismer. “it carries through rolls-royce’s ‘magic carpet ride’ experience, and will be a leader among luxury suVs.” the Cullinan has a spacious interior and three rows of seats to meet all adventurers’ desires. it offers the option of a three-seater back row, or two individual seats. Passengers also have the option of deploying a glass panel between the rear seats and the cargo area to minimize noise. rolls-royce Motor Cars Vancouver, a subsidiary of Openroad Auto Group, opened in May and occupies 4,500 square feet. it features two levels of deluxe-designed exhibit area, with six vehicles on display. At the dealership’s opening ceremony, Openroad president and CEO Christian Chia said he was honoured to be collaborating with rolls-royce. “As well as celebrating the opening of the new distribution centre, this is also the first time rolls-royce presents Cullinan in North America. the world’s most revered motor brand chose to have this milestone event in Vancouver, which indicates the massive potential of the car market in the city.”

高端萬用SVR

Ticket to ride Have it all with the Range Rover Sport SVR Story & Photography | Lorne Drury (Metroland Media) 想擁有一部包羅萬有的汽車？2018年款的Range Rover Sport SVR或許合你心意。Land Rovers與Range Rovers的SUV一向以耐用、優雅和無往不至見稱，主打高端市場。這部SVR把Range Rover Sport升了級，加強了性能，搭載5.0公升V8增壓引擎，具備575匹馬力和516磅/呎扭力。按廠方的說法，重量達2,310公斤(5,082磅) 的Range Rover Sport SVR，從靜止飆至時速100公里只需4.5秒，並且可拖曳重達3,000 公斤(6,600磅)的物件如船隻、旅行拖車等。 SVR是Range Rover Sport系列的旗艦車，擁有多款不同級別的產品，配備V6和V8汽油引擎。另外還有一款是3 公升柴油車，可以輸出234匹馬力和443磅扭力。 Range Rover Sport SE車型售價由78,800元起，最高檔的SVR售132,000元，連同選置設備，我們所試駕的SVR 價格為154,770元。現在一般人並不真正需要一輛可在賽道上馳騁的汽車如Range Rover SVR，不過，這麽大馬力的車仍有市場，即使林寶堅尼的牛王Urus和賓尼的Bentayga也來湊熱鬧。

2018

For the buyer who must have it all, the 2018 Range Rover Sport SVR is it. Land Rovers and Range Rovers have long been known as durable, classy, go-anywhere SUVs aimed at the high-end market, but the SVR model ratchets things up a notch on the Range Rover Sport, particularly when it comes to performance and its supercharged 5.0-litre V8 engine that puts out 575 horsepower and 516 lb/ft of torque. That’s enough power to propel the 2,310-kilogram Range Rover Sport SVR from 0-100 km/h in a very quick 4.5 seconds, according to the manufacturer. And for those who want to take a boat or trailer up to vacation country, the SVR will haul up to 3,000 kilograms. The SVR is the flagship of the Range Rover Sport lineup, which boasts a number of trim levels, featuring supercharged V6 and V8 gasoline engines. There’s also a 3.0-litre diesel offering that generates 254 horsepower and a whole lot of grunt — 443 lb/ft of torque to be exact. Starting at $78,800 for the Range Rover Sport SE model, the top-shelf SVR trim comes in at $132,000. Options can add up quickly, though, as our SVR tester priced out at $154,770.

生產商Jaguar Land Rover在引擎上作了些改動，把2018年的 SVR馬力增加了25匹，令最高時速可達283公里。不過，除非你要賽車，否則這個速度對你的意義並不大，用來誇耀一下倒也無妨。 Range Rover Sport由英國設計和製造，自2004年開售至今，全球售出達73.2萬輛。2018年款的Sport外型更有動感、更時尚，採用LED車頭燈，配以重新設計的進氣格柵。車廂也進行了現代化更新，採用全新的專業輕觸雙屏幕資訊娛樂系統，在中心控制區設置兩個10吋輕觸式屏幕。上面的屏幕顯示導航資訊，可以傾斜角度以避免陽光反射和提高能見度；下面的屏幕則是固定的，有調節氣溫、座位及車輛設置，以及連接媒體和電話等功能。

Now, no one really needs a racetrack-ready sport ute like the Range Rover SVR, but these days there is a ready market for high-powered vehicles like it. Even Lamborghini and Bentley are into the act with their Urus and Bentayga models respectively. Jaguar Land Rover has tweaked the engine to up the horsepower by 25 for 2018 on the SVR with a quoted top speed of 283 km/h. Unless you belong to a club and do lap days at a racetrack, a speed like that is irrelevant, but it does give one bragging rights when talking all things automotive with the boys on the golf course. The British-designed and built Range Rover Sport has been around since 2004 and has achieved sales of 732,000 units worldwide since then.

司機位正前方是一個直觀設計的12吋高解象度儀錶殼板，並有一個新款的平視顯示器，讓駕駛者視線不用離開正前方，便可看到駕駛信息。車廂布局清新、簡約、舒適，坐5個人也很充足。

For 2018, the exterior has a more dynamic, modern look with LED headlights up front, sitting alongside a redesigned grille. The cabin has also been modernized with a new Touch Pro Duo infotainment system, featuring two user-friendly 10-inch touchscreens on the centre stack.

性能方面，Jaguar Land Rover改良了SVR的底盤，以提供更多動態操控而不會影響車輛的舒適度。車廠的工程師致力於研究在猛力加速和緊急煞掣時車內乘客前俯後仰的情況，改良了阻尼系統，從而改善轉彎、抓地和車身控制的情況。

Navigation information is displayed on the top screen, which can be angled to counter glare and improve visibility. The lower screen is fixed and manages functional tasks like climate control, seat and vehicle settings, and media and phone connectivity.

車廂布局清新、簡約、舒適，坐5個人也很充足。 The interior of the SVR is clean, uncluttered and comfortable with room for five people.

SVR不光是行駛的速度快，單是聽其聲響也覺得快。車尾兩排排氣喉發出轟的咆哮聲充滿活力，令人興奮莫名。踏上油門，這部SVR就像一支箭般狂飆。它可以急速煞停和快速轉彎，輕鬆自如。在郊野路上，由於有四輪驅動系統和眾多駕駛模式如草地/礫石/雪地、泥濘地面/車轍地、沙地、岩石爬行、環保及動態等適合在不同的情況下駕駛，Range Rover的行車表現都很出色。備有低牽引力起步系統，有助於在低摩擦力的路面如濕草地、雪地和碎石路上起步。全新Range RoverSport的懸掛系統可以調校高度，而氣壓式懸掛系統更是全線車系的標準裝置。 SVR甚具台型，一看便知是高檔的SUV，再選置碳纖維套裝(價值10,000元) ，更易讓人看出它的與眾不同！車身使用大量碳纖維材質，車頭蓋中央位置配上織紋，並有獨特的集成冷卻風口，而邊鏡、進氣格柵的周圍和兩側風口都採用碳纖維製造。 21吋合金輪圈是Range Rover Sport SVR的標準裝置，試駕的SVR選置了有巨型5輻條的22吋亮黑色輪圈(價值3,670元)。其他特別裝置還有司機上車時即亮起的踏板、鋁質的運動油門踏版，以及既輕便支撐性又強的超級運動座椅。

Directly in front of the driver is a 12-inch high-resolution vehicle display with dual dial, single dial and extended mode views. A new generation display puts information within easy sightlines for the driver. All in all, the interior is clean, uncluttered and comfortable with room for five people. On the performance front, Jaguar Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations has enhanced the chassis of the SVR to deliver more dynamic handling without sacrificing comfort. The engineers focused on controlling pitch under heavy acceleration and braking and tweaks to the damping system hardware have improved turn-in, grip and body control. Not only does the SVR go fast, but it also sounds fast with an exhaust growl from the dualies on the rear that is simply electrifying for performance enthusiasts like this writer. Punch the throttle and the SVR takes off like a shot. With such power under the hood, it also has to stop fast and turn quickly and it does both of these with aplomb. ln fact, a vehicle this heavy has no right handling as well as this one does, both on road and off. This is a Range Rover, so yes it does off-road with the best of them, thanks to a four-wheel

drive system and a selection of driving modes such as Grass/Gravel/Snow, Mud/Ruts, Sand, Rock Crawl, Eco and Dynamic. It also has what JLR calls a Low Traction Launch System, which helps take off on low-friction surfaces like wet grass, snow and loose gravel. The suspension is height adjustable with an air suspension standard across the board. Style-wise, the SVR looks the part of an upscale SUV, particularly with options like the Carbon Fibre Package ($10,000) that lets everyone know this is one special Range Rover. As part of this package, the weave is left exposed on the centre section of the vehicle’s carbon fibre composite hood that also has unique integrated cooling vents. The package also includes carbon fibre finishes elsewhere, such as the side mirrors, the grille surround and side vents. Standard are 21-inch alloy wheels, but ours came with huge five-spoke, 22-inch glossy black wheels, a $3,670 option. Other special touches include SVR treadplates that illuminate when the driver climbs onboard, as well as aluminum sport pedals and special Supersport seats that are lightweight and supportive at the same time.

資訊娛樂系統設在中央位置，由兩個10吋的觸控式屏幕操控。 The infotainment system includes two user-friendly 10-inch touchscreens located on the centre stack.

2018年款Range Rover Sport SVR 車身款式：豪華四門五座位SUV。驅動方式：前置引擎，四輪驅動。引擎：5.0公升V8增壓引擎 (輸出575匹馬力和516磅/呎扭力) ，搭載八前速自動波箱。行李箱容量：780公升，摺疊後排座椅後空間達1,686公升。拖曳重量：3,000公升(6,600磅) 。耗油量：16.2/12/14.3公升/100公里市內/高速公路/綜合。售價：132,000元，試駕車售154,770元，包括1,600元運費。優點：Range Rover Sport SVR是擁有轎跑車靈魂的大型SUV。缺點：選置項目加起來售價會很昂貴。誘人之處：2019年的Range Rover Sport車系，將會加入插電式混合動能車型。

Anafi機身輕巧，只有320克重，長條形機身加上「X」形的機臂，官方稱之為「昆蟲仿生Insect Bioinspired」設計，毋須轉出機臂，只要拉出前後兩邊的機臂即可，開合極為方便。

Anafi is very lightweight, at just 320 grams. Its elongated body and crossed arms are “insect bio-inspired”. It’s foldable, so it’s easy to pick up and launch anytime, anywhere.

拍攝4K HDR影片

Fitted with 21MP CCD with 5,344×4,016 resolution and a 1.4x lossless digital zoom, Anafi is equipped to shoot 4K video. It has a Film Mode, which lets the user set the speed for moving and changing direction. It means that even when the controller is pushed to the max, the pictures will look smooth. the Dolly Zoom function delivers pictures of cinematic quality.

Anafi內置解像度5,344×4,016的21MP CCD，能攝錄 4K影片，4K攝錄時可做到1.4倍無損變焦；還另設有一個 Film Mode讓用戶自行設定移動、轉向等速度的功能，就算推盡遙桿也不會突然加速，令拍攝畫面更暢順；加上Dolly Zoom滑動變焦效果，可拍出更具電影感的畫面。 Anafi完全外露的鏡頭特別用上跟機身不同的白色，以便飛行時易於分辨機頭、機尾，而且鏡頭可作180度由上至下的俯仰式(即負90度至正90度)旋轉，能拍到航拍機上方的影像，適合於一些山崖吊橋之類的環境拍攝，是同級機種中首見。

充電極方便 Anafi的抗風能力達50km/hr，圖傳最遠為4公里；至於手掣，只要向上拉出手機夾便自動開啟手掣，掣上只有「自動返航」及「升降」鍵，食指位左右各有快捷鍵(鏡頭回中及拍攝)及撥掣(鏡頭上下轉向及變焦)，但就不能自定功能。

4K HDR sHoots

It’s easy to tell where the white lens is pointing because of the contrasting black body. Another novelty is that the lens can tilt +90o or -90o vertically. shooting images above the drone, such as a cliff or a drawbridge, is now possible.

HAnDy ReCHARgIng Anafi has wind resistance of up to 50km/hr and a maximum transmission range of four kilometres. the controller is automatically activated when the mobile phone holder is lifted. the controller offers controls for “return to home” and moving up and down. At the index finger position, there is a speed button (for centring the lens and shooting) and a tilt button (for tilting the lens and adjusting focus). the controller doesn’t offer user settings, however.

Anafi飛行時間最長25分鐘，電池用上USB-C插頭，並支援PD(Power Delivery)，可直接裝在機身充電，亦可拆出只充電池；手掣也是用USB-C ，如使用新款Android Smartphone便可一線多用。

Anafi has a battery life of 25 minutes. It features a UsB-C charging port and supports PD (power delivery). the battery can be charged either attached or detached from the drone. the controller also has a UsB-C port. this means you only need to have the latest cable for Android smartphones to work with this drone.

總結

sUMMARy

由於試機當日下著大雨，所以只能在部分露天的位置下短暫試飛，在有點風的下雨天環境，機身也算穩定，由於飛行時的天色較暗，未能真正看到HDR的威力，但初步看畫質不錯，至於1.4×無損變焦雖不算多，但必要時也有點用；值得一讚是飛行時噪音明顯較低。開機及收機也覺輕鬆，收機時只要一手拿起便可收起機臂。

Despite the rain and breeze on test day, the drone was relatively stable. It was quite a dark day as well, so the full potential of HDR wasn’t apparent. still, the quality of the video was good. the 1.4x lossless digital zoom is not much, but it is handy nonetheless. the upside is the low-noise operation, and launching and putting away is a simple one-hand operation.

只是手掣有點像遊戲機手掣，感覺有點大；另鏡頭雖可作180°旋轉拍出更多不同角度的畫面，但對鏡頭的保護性也相對減低，飛行時要留意。

the controller is like a gaming console and feels a little bulky. As the lens can tilt 180o, it means it is exposed to harm, and this is worth bearing in mind.

OMEGA pays tribute to Japanese superhero Ultraman #鹹蛋超人 #奥特曼 with a limitededition 42mm Speedmaster. Because Ultraman could only stay in superhero-mode for three minutes, the Swiss watchmaker has coloured the first three minutes of the 3 o’clock subdial in orange. At 9 o’clock, a silhouette of Ultraman’s face can be seen. #monsterattackteam #musthave
