劉嘉玲示範如何以高貴形式穿著乾濕褸，以Dior全 紅乾濕褸襯one-piece裙和高跟鞋，再添黑色畫家 帽，散發陣陣優雅氣息。

阿嬌皮膚本來就白皙，穿上紅白藍星星大褸，更有 人逢喜事的神采飛揚感。即使褸長及腳踝，卻出奇 地改善身形比例，顯得甚是修長。

陳凱琳這上身跌膊deep V設計晚裝，一反向來身材 無甚瞄頭的印象，不但體態玲瓏，更沒有刻意營造 的突兀感。

This is a good example of how to wear a trench coat in an elegant way. Carina has donned Dior’s red trench coat with a one-piece dress, heels and a painter hat.

Fair-skinned Gillian looks marvellous in a red, white and blue star coat. This coat is very long, making her look taller and slimmer.

This evening dress, with its deep-V design, enhances Grace’s figure in a subtle way.

入行四年的陳凱琳，演出機會繁多，但最惹人羡 慕的，是得男友鄭嘉穎肯定，高調甜蜜放閃。 Grace憑甚麼得天獨厚？她自信、樂觀、隨遇而 安、生活簡單；新年願望是傻氣的「少食蛋糕、 多食蔬菜」，大家不斷揣測她如何「馴服」鄭嘉 穎，其實正能量就是她的必殺技。

The Blessed One:

陳凱琳

Grace chan Four years into her showbiz career, Grace Chan has won her fair share of air time. She is also envied for being the sweetheart of screen heartthrob Kevin Cheng.

Why is Grace so blessed? She is confident, upbeat, easy going and leads a simple life. Her New Year resolution was cute – “eat less cake and more vegetables!” We are all speculating how she managed to capture wild Kevin. Her positive energy is perhaps her best weapon.

COVER STORY

難忘的第一次 過去的2017，她形容是「90%開心」， 在風高浪急的娛樂圈中，實屬難得。 「2017有許多難忘的第一次，包括第 一次親身到意大利看時裝秀；第一次拍網 劇《飛虎極戰》，體驗以拍攝電影的模式拍 劇；第一次參與電影拍攝；第一次到內地 拍電視劇，挑戰以普通話說對白，即使明 知播出時會被配音，但總算是一次磨練。」

She described 2017 as “90% happy”.

This is pretty good, considering the turbulent nature of show biz.

“There were lots of unforgettable firsts in 2017, including attending a fashion show in Italy in person for the first time; shooting my first-ever online show Flying

Tiger in movie-making style; being in the first movie production; and delivering lines in Putonghua in my first TV show in China, though knowing full well it would be dubbed when it’s aired. But it’s a challenge nonetheless.”

COVER STORY Dice Kayek blue blouse BaubleBar crystal earrings

超現實的期待 她坦言小時候沒立志做藝人，也不覺自己有表演慾，大學 選讀傳理系，也是一心想做記者採訪寫文章，難以想像今天會 演戲唱歌做主持，直至拍過幾部劇集後，她才找到演藝工作的 樂趣，開始明白甚麼是前輩說的 「戲癮」 。 「演過一、兩部劇之後，開始期待下一次演甚麼角色，思 考怎樣演才得到觀眾認同，或者翻看舊作，研究自己有沒有進 步。初入行時，曾經懷疑自己是否適合做藝人，但期待劇集播 出那種興奮心情，令我知道自己真的喜歡演戲。」演戲有趣，因 為能嘗試過另一種人生，所以她最期待的，是現實中不會出現 的情節。 「好想試試警匪、槍戰、綁架這類動作場面，或者像《巨輪 2 》那種情緒起伏很大的角色，演民初、古裝劇，生活在另一個 世界，也很好玩，所以 《張保仔》 玩穿越，拍得好開心。」 說到目標，Grace不敢奢望得獎，只希望有人談論，得到 讚賞， 「像 《平安谷》 有正面評價，有人認同，我已經很滿足。」

Hoping for the surreal She said she had never planned on becoming an actress, and didn’t think she had the desire to perform. She majored in media and communication and planned on becoming a journalist.

She wouldn’t have imagined that she would act, sing and be a program host. After involving in a few TV series, she finally found the fun of show biz, and began to understand what the veterans described as “acting thrills”.

“After one or two TV series, I began to look forward to the next role, and started thinking how to act to make it resonate with viewers. I would also watch past works and see if I have improved.

When I first started in the business, I wondered if I was cut out to be an artist. But the excitement of waiting for the works to air makes me realise that I really enjoy acting.” Acting is fun because it provides an opportunity to live the life of a different person, so she longs for stories that are not likely to happen in real life.

“I’d love to try action stories like police stories, gun fights and kidnapping. Something like the emotionally volatile characters of

Brother’s Keeper II. Period dramas are also fun, to live in another world. Time travel in Captain of Destiny was great fun.”

When it comes to goals, Grace doesn’t dare to hope for awards yet. She would like to be talked about, and get good reviews. “I’ll settle for positive feedbacks and recognition like those I got for The Forgotten Valley.”

今個米蘭秋冬時裝周有不少令人驚 喜的話題，如Gucci模特兒抱着栩栩 如生的魔龍、Moschino富玩味的真 人芭比造型，以及Dolce & Gabbana 有如節日慶典的finale……均令人留 下深刻印象，在這個講求話題的世 代，令米蘭造就出自己的專屬個性。 Milan’s 2018 Fall/Winter Fashion Week gave us much to talk about.

There were the Gucci models carrying baby dragons in their arms, Moschino models playfully styled as Barbies and Dolce & Gabbana’s carnival-like finale. They all left an everlasting impression and made Milan the talk of the town.

打響頭炮。 Gucci turned the stage into a surgery theatre to evoke spine-chilling scenes from the horror movie Saw. Creative director Alessandro Michele wanted to make people think about pluralism. Brazen knitted balaclavalike caps, weighty crystal details and multifarious sets and print dresses underscored the theme, and had the audience on edge. It was quite an opening for the Milan Fashion Week.

Prada 跳出框架 Outside the box 全黑的時裝騷環境與系列的鮮艷顏色構成強烈對比，大量 的配搭層次以及如霓虹燈的螢光用色將品牌帶到另一層次。向 來熱愛藝術的Miuccia Prada利用時裝拼拼貼貼，遊走於運動 與女性風格之間，或綴以花卉綴飾，或在模特兒頸上繫上偌大 的蝴蝶結，為boxy服飾線條注入女人味。

The pitch-black venue provided a strong contrast to its colourful collections. Layering and neon colours took the brand to a new level. Art buff Miuccia Prada plays collage with sporty and feminine styles, using floral ornaments and tying oversized bows on the models’ necks to add sass to boxy silhouettes.

Dolce & Gabbana 信望愛 Have faith

話題不斷的Dolce & Gabbana，將騷場設計成天主教教堂， 還廣播要求現場來賓關上wi-fi，否則不會開騷，原來安排了多部 航拍機吊著全新手袋打頭陣，贏得全場歡呼聲。今次以「Fashion Devotion」為題，招牌黑色喱士裙、聖十字架裝飾大衣、綴滿閃片 的運動套裝華麗出動，甚有show hand意味。 Always creating something to be talked about, Dolce & Gabbana turned to a Catholic church theme and demanded that guests turn off their wi-fi before the show opened. That was a prelude for the grand entrance of drones carrying its new handbags, which won thunderous applause. The show’s “Fashion Devotion” theme was a tour de force, featuring its signature black lace dress, a coat decorated with a holy cross and a sporty ensemble glamourized with sequins.

Blumarine 浪漫態度 Romantic attitude 說浪漫是Blumarine的DNA大概也不為過，整個秋冬系列充斥 著雪紡、喱士、閃片以及荷葉邊，以新穎的混搭理念，給輕盈感 和浪漫感賦予全新視角。品牌標誌的玫瑰，則被運用在意想不到 的材質，像是薄紗上的刺繡，或是喱士上編織出的圖案，結合優 雅與魅惑，充滿女性美。 Romanticism is in Blumarine’s DNA. The entire Fall/Winter collection is filled with new treatments for chiffon, lace, sequins and flounce, offering a new perspective to a romantic lightness of being.

The brand’s rose motif is interpreted with surprising treatments, such as embroideries on silk or woven patterns in lace, enriched with elegance and allure.

Moschino 天外來客 Extraterrestrial 時裝頑童Jeremy Scott今次將外星人陰謀論融入時裝主題， 模特兒造型充滿瑪麗蓮夢露和Jackie O影子，全因他懷疑近乎完 美的二人與外星人有關。開場時一系列如複製人般的短裙套裝， 配搭Moschino標誌性的biker jacket，色彩繽紛極致；尾段的晚 禮服則混合了金屬亮片，被剪碎再縫製，喻意傳奇人物重現眼 前，美艷不可方物。 Fashion designer Jeremy Scott played out his conspiracy theory about aliens. The models looked like Marilyn Monroe and Jackie O, reflecting his theory that the two near-perfect women had alien links. The show started with a series of cloned short dress suits, set against Moschino’s iconic biker jackets. The colour palette was simply stunning. The ball gown in the finale was spliced and decorated with shiny sequins as a metaphor that the legendary figures had reconstituted in front of our eyes, and they were still breathtakingly beautiful.

CAPUCINES BB HANAMI $6,050 LOUIS VUITTON TREE MOTIF JACQUARD DRESS

隨著品牌多個全新手袋系列逐一面世，提到LV手袋，已不再限於單一的 monogram，高雅低調的Capucines也深得人心。 In recent years, LV has launched a variety of bag lines. Its design is not limited to monograms anymore, and people have started to pay attention to its elegant, low-profile line — Capucines.

Capucines系列以1854年品牌在巴黎rue Neuve-des-Capucines大街開設的首家店舖而命名。 簡潔線條叫人看得舒服；拿上手，竟發現Taurillon皮革與小牛皮的輕巧和柔軟度實屬難得；再細看 袋前被皮革半壓蓋的金屬logo，不禁讚歎其細節的巧妙和用心。系列備有手挽與肩背帶，多達五 種不同容量，款式繁多：釘珠、刺繡、織花、流蘇、窩釘、拼皮、手繪皮邊等等，每個款式平均 需要超過二百五十件配件與近千個製作步驟才能完成，完美展現品牌的傳統工藝和創意美學。 為延續品牌百多年以來的傳統，Capucines系列更提供訂造服務。客人可以在五款皮革如鱷魚 皮和蟒蛇皮等，以及多種顏色上隨意組合，並可以加上壓印字樣，製作出符合個人風格，獨一無 二的專屬袋款。

CAPUCINES MM STUDDY $7,000

CAPUCINES PM LUCKY $6,200

CAPUCINES MINI EXCEPTIONAL ANIMATIONS GOLDEN WAVES $9,350

Capucines is named after the Paris street (rue Neuve-des-Capucines) on which LV opened its first store in 1854. The lightweight and soft Taurillion leather in these simple, minimal bags is unbelievable, and the metal logo on the front is amazingly detailed.

In this collection, there are five different bag sizes, with handles and shoulder straps, and varied styles featuring sequins, embroidery, tassels, metal stubs and painting. Each style features more than 250 accessories, on average, and involves more than 1,000 steps in craftsmanship. They are literally works of art.

Continuing the brand’s century-old tradition, Capucines offers custom-made service. You can choose from five different kinds of leather, including alligator and python, and from various colours. You can also add “personal branding” using hot-stamping to create a unique bag for yourself.

allowing the watch’s beating heart to stand

J12 2000年面世的J12是首枚將高科技精密陶瓷大膽轉化為 彌足珍貴材質的腕錶。Chanel今年推出一套共12款、獨一無 二的J12腕錶系列，每一款均以高科技精密陶瓷馬賽克鑲嵌 抽象構圖。12款腕錶可結合為由Chanel製錶創意工作室設 計、具延續性概念的組圖。承襲相同的美學概念，另外兩款 黑白J12腕錶，以數字12為靈感，各限量發行1,200枚。 Launched in 2000, the J12 was the first watch to dare transforming high-tech ceramic into a precious material. For 2018, Chanel presents a set of 12 one-of-a-kind watches, each decorated with an abstract composition produced in ceramic marquetry. The 12 pieces together form a polyptych, showcasing a graphic design by Chanel’s Watchmaking Creative Studio. In the same artistic spirit, two J12 watches in black and white, and inspired by the number 12, are being issued in a limited-edition series of 1,200 pieces in each colour.

CODE COCO CODE COCO腕錶於錶面中心的扣環設計， 一如Chanel女士於1955年2月創作的2.55手袋鎖 扣。鎖扣開關之間，時間可被巧妙地隱藏或展 現。一顆鑽石低調地閃耀於黑色的錶盤上，綻 放著珍貴的魅力。柔軟舒適的手鐲，輕盈而不 干擾絲毫動作，是引發菱格紋設計的初衷。 2018年，Chanel更首次推出黑色陶瓷CODE COCO腕錶。 The CODE COCO watch closes with a click like the quilted 2.55 bag created by Mademoiselle Chanel in February 1955, sealing the watch with an exclusive flourish. A diamond subtly shines on a black dial, creating a precious allure. For 2018, Chanel presents the CODE COCO in black ceramic for the first time, a material of predilection for Chanel watchmaking.

MONSIEUR 2018年，Chanel給專為男仕打造的MONSIEUR de Chanel腕 錶系列注入獅子印記，推出兩款MONSIEUR腕錶；還有搭載改良 自Calibre 2的新版CALIBRE 2.2機芯、獨一無二的懷錶及座鐘， 限量發行五座。 For 2018, Chanel welcomes the Lion to its MONSIEUR collection, a watch specially designed for men. There are two versions of the Monsieur watch: a one-of-a-kind pocket watch fitted with a new version of the Calibre 2, and a limited-edition series of five pieces.

Vanguard S6 Yachting

近年屢屢見到Franck Muller旗下腕錶系列採鏤空式樣，今年的Vanguard Yachting系列亦 然。電鍍藍色錶橋與玫瑰金錶殼及錶盤細節均晶瑩剔透，尤其是6時位置化身為航海指南針模 樣的小秒針盤，與12時位置的發條鼓形成了「8」字圖案。腕錶尺寸為44×53.7mm，搭載手上 鏈機芯，具有7日動力儲備。 （約售$66,000） Franck Muller has become increasingly partial to the skeletonized design and this year’s Vanguard Yachting model is a case in point. With a blue-plated bridge, a rose-gold case and a skeletonized dial, this is one attractive timepiece. The small second hand at 6 o’clock looks like a navigational compass, and forms an “8” shape with the barrels at 12 o’clock. The case measures 44×53.7 millimetres and features a hand-winding mechanism with seven days of power reserve. (Approx. $66,000)

Skafander

這枚全新的Skafander是初次曝光的錶款。Skafander於1930年面世、本來是為海軍潛水 員製作的全壓力潛水衣，多年後更被改良成太空服。今天，品牌以這潛水衣為靈感，設計出 這枚酒桶形的潛水錶。腕錶在8時及10時位置分別有兩枚按鈕，可以將內錶圈向前調校1分鐘 或5分鐘，作為潛水倒數計時之用。不鏽鋼錶殼尺寸是46×57mm，搭載自動機芯，可防水 100米。 （約售$19,500） The Skafander navy diving suit was first introduced in 1930 and evolved into a space suit years later. Franck Muller has taken inspiration from the suit to create this tonneau-shaped dive watch. The two pushers at 8 o’clock and 10 o’clock are for adjusting the inner bezel forward by one minute or five minutes for diving countdown. The stainless steel watch measures 46×57 millimetres and is powered by an automatic calibre. It is water resistant to 100 metres. (Approx. $19,500)

Vanguard World Timer GMT

這是Vanguard系列首枚兩地時間兼世界時區腕錶，腕錶一共有三個錶環，最外圍是時間 刻度，中央浮雕世界地圖外是一個24小時時區環，再外面一圈是世界城市。不但可以通過4時 位置的按鈕來調校紅色三角形的第二時區指針，同時亦能清楚看到世界時間，再加上24小時 環分為黑白二色，能輕易分辨晝夜。腕錶採用玫瑰金造殼，尺寸為44×53.7mm，搭載自動機 芯。 （約售$42,000） This is the first dual time zone and universal time watch in the Vanguard collection. It features three bezels – the outer one has time markers; the inner one circling the world map relief is a 24-hour time zone ring; the one in between indicates world cities. The pusher at 4 o’clock is for adjusting the red triangular indicator of a second time zone. World time is also clearly shown on the ring. The 24-hour bezel in black and white denotes day and night. It features a 44×53.7-millimetre rose gold case and an automatic mechanism. (Approx. $42,000)

品質 盡量投資在高質量的物料上。挑選耐用、精細和能顯 示工藝的物料。

五官感覺 巧妙地運用物品來誘發五官感覺。例如在洗手間內燃 點香薰蠟燭、在你喜歡的舒適扶手椅上鋪上一張茄士咩毛 氈，並且播放一些切合你心境的音樂。 「豪華應該是有品味的。既要追求細節的完美，也要提 升整個空間的格調。」 這是Abraham的心得。

QUALITY Invest in quality when possible. Look for rich materials that last and custom details that indicate craftsmanship

PROPORTIONS Always select furniture appropriate to the scale of your space.

FIVE SENSES Appeal to all five senses through the artful use of accessories. Light a scented candle in the powder room, throw a cashmere blanket on your favourite armchair, play some music that suits your mood.

“Luxury should be tasteful. It should both perfect the details and elevate the entire space.”

答案是：groom attelé掛具。

The answer: A “groom attelé».

這個掛具是愛馬仕家居用品系列的成品之一， 用來掛衣服及配飾。馬轡形狀的設計、「馬鞍針縫技 法」 的針腳及金屬配件，完美演繹品牌與馬具的淵源。 這件產品可說是品牌回歸製作馬具產品的傳 承。Groom attelé是指小馬伕，而品牌以法國人像及 動物畫家Alfred de Dreux的名作《鞍轡已備，以供乘 騎》(Duc attelé, groom à l’attente)作為品牌標誌。 品牌對於製作馬具的傳統引以為傲，這可見諸

It is a hanger and accessories holder, part of Hermès’ collection for the home. The bridle shape, the saddle stitching and the hardware are all inspired by equestrian accoutrement, the house’s first métier.

The name of this piece seems to refer to the very essence of the brand.

“Groom attelé” translates to harnessed stable boy, and the inspiration behind the logo of the brand is a painting by French portrait and animal painter Alfred de Dreux — Duc attelé, groom à l’attente (harnessed carriage, waiting attendant).

時尚室內設計潮流一向以平衡實用、舒適和簡約流暢空間感這三大元素為主。今 年潮流以生活中常見的輕巧傢具、掛畫、陶瓷、燈飾或其它裝飾擺件等軟時尚質 感取勝，利用工業味道的黃銅金屬和永恆時尚的木元素等硬材料打造出主次分明 的現代簡約層次感。為了加強視覺衝擊，再配合幾何和色彩的強烈對比，帶出室 內設計新時尚。 Interior design trends are usually defined by three major elements: comfort, practicality and spaciousness. This year’s trend goes to the soft touch of light furniture, wall art, chinaware, lighting and other decors. The feel of simple, modernized, contrasting layering is created using industrial-like metal and brass, and the evergreen design element, wood. Geometric shapes and colour are also used to further enhance the visual impact.

Driving down the scenic Lighthouse Route, the next stop is at Mahone Bay’s Saltbox Brewery for a taste of their Crustacean Elation, a golden ale made using six lobsters that are boiled with the mash. The limited-edition brew is mild and crisp, has a palate-pleasing aroma of the shellfish (similar to the enticing smells from boiled lobsters), but a subtle savoury finish. Having lobsters in the beer makes this an acceptable morning drink, right?

Mahone Bay市中心被稱為 加國最佳小鎮市中心，位於 湖邊的三座教堂是鎮上的人 氣熱點，亦吸引不少攝影愛 好者。當地有不少獨一無 二的節慶包括稻草人節及 Father Christmas Festival， 亦可找到不少畫廊及特色小 店如Amos Pewter。 Named one of Canada's best small-town downtowns, Mahone Bay’s famous “three churches” are visible from the waterfront (and popular with photographers). Besides one-of-a-kind festivals, like the Great Scarecrow Festival and the Father Christmas Festival, the arts community boasts of galleries and specialty shops, such as Amos Pewter.

It’s “shellfish” not to try Hell Bay Brewing’s Lobster Ale, another beer brewed using lobster. I found it at the Grand Banker Bar and Grill in the UNESCO World Heritage-recognized town of Lunenburg. The briny ale (made with lobster shells) goes well with the restaurant’s seafood-rich menu that features deep-sea scallops, which the area is best known for, the addictive house chips with cheddar-Pilsner dip, or their famous “Lunenburger”.

The latter is monstrous, featuring a locally sourced six-ounce beef patty that’s topped with smoked mozzarella, smoked bacon, baby spinach, a mountain of lobster knuckle and claw meat, and served in a bun that’s christened with a baconwrapped scallop.

With a full belly, it’s off to the Atlantica Oak Island Resort for a much-needed afternoon nap. For others, the wiser choice might be to burn off some of those calories at the resort’s fitness facilities, which include a pool and sauna.

Later, dive into a thoughtful five-course lobster dinner at the resort’s Vista Dining Room. Paired with some of the province’s best bubbly and wines, there’s lobster Rockerfeller, with a velvety bisque and poached on top of salad, and done two ways for the main. Inspired by the lobster juices pumping through my veins, I try my hand at painting my own lobster sign at the Craft-to-Craft Night, led by Front Porch Mercantile.

The property’s beach is popular for water sports, from kayaking to surfing (including surf camps). The resort hosts a number of programs, like a visit to the Southwest Bova Biosphere Reserve, a meet-and-greet with conservation experts, or hands-on fishing adventures. I participate in the latter.

Distillers taste the cru in the cask regularly. When the taste is deemed to be optimal, it is bottled. This 1990 vintage, aged for 13 years in American bourbon barrels and sherry casks, gives off a round and smooth chocolate aroma.

Balblair於2007年決定於芸芸 Highland酒廠突圍，全心全 意只釀造單一純麥芽vintage whisky，成為此道先鋒。 Balblair decided in 2007 to set itself apart among Highland distilleries by becoming the first to focus on single-malt vintage whisky.

Rudi喜歡玩具軌道賽車場，所有玩具賽車都是他自製的平治 車型。Rudi對這些玩具賽車深感自豪，不惜長途跋涉走到加拿大 平治汽車總部，並向當時的總裁Reiner Lange-Mechlin展示其自 製1:32比例的平治玩具賽車，總裁對這位年輕人印象深刻，即時 聘請他作清潔工。Rudi 當年才是15歲。

把握天賦創天下 經過幾個月清潔車間和停車場的工作，Rudi開始了5年的工 廠學徒生涯，更有機會參與翻新舊平治汽車的工作。當同事均喜 歡修理新車時，Rudi反而情有獨鍾，喜歡修理舊車 ，比方是當 時身價仍未暴漲的平治300SLs（還是上世紀60年代）。因此遇上

要維修舊的平治汽車，同事們都會說：「把車交給Rudi吧！」 His finely assembled products were then displayed in the shop’s window and passersby were quick to purchase them. Koniczek wound up making more money than if he had been paid a salary.

Eventually, Koniczek gravitated to the slot-car racing scene. All of his cars were Mercedes Benz (MB) models he built himself. He was so proud of his handiwork that he went to the head office of Mercedes Benz Canada and presented his 1:32 scale MB racers to president Reiner Lange-Mechlin. He was so impressed that he offered the young man a job on the spot, as a lot boy. Koniczek was only 15 years old.

A few months of cleaning shop floors and parking lots led to a five-year factory apprenticeship, which afforded Koniczek the opportunity to restore older Mercedes Benz vehicles like the 300SL

models, which were not as valuable at the time (this was the 1960s).

His co-workers preferred to work on newer cars, so when an older Mercedes came in for repairs, they would simply say, “Give the car to Rudi”.

Encouraged to carve out an independent existence Near the end of his apprenticeship, one of the older mechanics, Josef Dunjko, recognized Koniczek’s natural talent and encouraged him to work for himself and continue restoring vintage Mercedes automobiles

Dunjko told Koniczek: “If you don’t leave this place, you’ll end up like me — sitting on a bench when you’re my age, eating your lunch out of a box and working for a company

即將告別學徒生涯時，一位年長技工Josef Dunjko欣賞Rudi的天 賦，鼓勵他自立門戶，繼續翻新古舊的平治汽車。Dunjko告訴Rudi：

that owns you. You have a natural ability with cars, Rudi. Go out on your own.”

「如果你不離開這個地方，就會像我一樣，年紀老邁時仍為一間不屬於 你的公司工作。你在汽車方面有天賦，Rudi，去為自己創天下吧！」

Given that encouragement, Koniczek decided to move from Toronto to Victoria in February, 1971. At the age of 21,

Eventually, Autohaus would become the busiest custom repair shop in Victoria for European vehicles up until the mid-1980s. However, the highly successful business took its toll on Koniczek, mentally and emotionally. At that point, he decided to focus on his original passion — restoring vintage MB 300SLs. He created a new company called Victoria Carriage Company (which would eventually become Rudi and Co.) and purchased some warehouse space in suburban Saanich.

predecessor, while offering 14 more horsepower.

Some of the fuel savings come from a new cylinder deactivation system, whereby four cylinders shut down when full power is not needed, such as cruising on the highway.

Outside, not much has changed. There are new bumpers, a revised headlamp system and other minor updates, but it’s the technology that really moves the new S-Class ahead of the pack.

For example, Mercedes-Benz gives the driver several methods of changing various controls. There are touch controls on the steering wheel and touchpad, plus direct access keys or voice input for many infotainment functions. The touch controls respond to swiping motions, like the screen of a smartphone.

The dash features a pair of new 12.3-inch, high-resolution display screens that are fully digital, allowing the driver to choose from three different display styles — Classic, Sporty and Progressive.

One interesting aspect of this is that the speed adjustment varies according to the driving mode selected. For example, Comfort mode will slow the car more on corners than if the car is in Sport or Sport+ mode.

With the lane change system, if the driver signals a lane change and the adjacent lane is clear, the system will steer the car into that lane.
