Historical Home marries
classic elegance
Mount Royal SW, Calgary
with modern luxury
text :: Andrew de Souza
images :: Justin Mah
At the top of the city’s Mount Royal district, just a few minutes from downtown, sits your opportunity to call a part of Calgary history your own in this classically elegant estate home. Built more than 100 years ago, the 5,500+ square foot, two-and-one-half story brick and sandstone home was once home to John Burns, one of Calgary’s most prominent citizens. He was the nephew and business protege of Senator Pat Burns, who was voted Calgary’s greatest citizen as a Calgary Stampede founding father and magnate of the cattle world. But it’s more than just a historical home. Today, it’s a beautifully landscaped property on a prominent corner lot in one of the city’s most exclusive neighborhoods–and it is a marriage of classic and modern. The classic styling comes in the form of 10-foot ceilings, a grand staircase, hardwood floors throughout, rich dark wood moldings, trim work and features including coffered ceilings, hand rails, and

The home sits on a corner lot of more than 20,000 square feet featuring majestic mature conifers which offer privacy and a feeling of nature– despite being less than 5 minutes from bustling 17th Avenue and 10 minutes to downtown. On your way outside, you’ll find a beautiful sun parlor with heated stone floors. But just a few steps more is one of the gems of the property. Outside you’ll find a newly-built stone and brick veranda featuring a massive sitting and entertaining area, an eye-grabbing fire place and integrated barbecue cooking station. Follow the path to a newly created garden space complete with waterfall. If quiet relaxation is something you’re looking for, take a short walk across the beautifully landscaped property to the serene japanese pagoda and enjoy a pocket of nature in the busy city.

JAEGER’S
SULTRY & SOPHISTICATED
FEMININE COLLECTION At Jaeger-LeCoultre, women have an ongoing rendezvous with time. The Manufacture in the Vallée de Joux crystallizes the encounter between Fine Watchmaking and Fine Jewellery within its feminine creations, dreaming up models that become an intimate part of daily life. This year, Jaeger-LeCoultre is reinventing it’s Rendez-Vous and Reverso collections in order to further enhance their appeal. Complicated, ultra-thin, mechanical: they embody a concentrated blend of creative freedom, along with the horological and hand-crafted expertise that has been guiding the history of the Grande Maison for 180 years. Within these models, the subtle chemistry between aesthetic and technical elements remains a zealously guarded secret. All endowed with their own personality, the Rendez-Vous and Reverso new models unite mechanical complexity with the charm of a design that has been carefully thought through right down to the smallest details. Their elegance further strengthens the quest for innovation of a brand that has enriched the field of Fine Watchmaking with 400 patents and 1,242 calibres since 1833. The Reverso In 1931, Polo enthusiasts were rewarded with a delightful watch to accompany them in their favourite sport. Hard on its heels came the first feminine Reverso to emerge from the workshops of the Grande Maison. The Art Deco spirit that has since inspired the finest models. Among the new models for 2013 are two Grande Reverso Lady Ultra Thin watches, including a Duetto Duo, which have risen to the challenge of extreme slenderness designed to highlight their technical assets. Alongside them is a High Jewellery model.
43
The Grande Reverso Lady Ultra Thin Duetto Duo pushes the boundaries of watch construction. This reversible model boasts a twin aesthetic, a dual timezone display, a single mechanism and now an ultra-thin interpretation. Entirely designed with women in mind, the Grande Reverso Lady Ultra Thin Duetto Duo associates the complexity of its mechanism with a delicate design. Its slender profile appears in three steel, white gold or pink gold versions, within a case elegantly adjusting to even the slimmest wrists thanks to its curved lugs. The Grande Reverso Ultra Thin High Jewellery model delicately clothed in pink or white gold and sprinkled with over 90 diamonds, the reversible case of the Grande Reverso Ultra Thin High Jewellery accentuates its slender 7.87 mm thick lines. The natural mother-of-pearl dial shimmers in iridescent radiance, with beautiful calligraphy that softens the geometrical lines of the case. The central guilloché motif is swept over by a pair of elegantly bevelled hands. The back of the dial is left free to personalise the watch as desired thanks to the many different engraving and gemsetting options provided by the Manufacture. The white gold model is teamed with a white alligator leather strap that lends a fresh elegance to the personality of this watch. The pink gold version extends into an all-gold bracelet composed of supple links ensuring perfect comfort on the wrist and completing the chic, contemporary effect. The Rendez-Vous The rendezvous is meant to be experienced on a personal daily level. Fascinating as much in terms of their mechanisms as of their Art Deco inspired design, three new models enrich an already iconic collection initially launched in 2011. The Rendez-Vous Perpetual Calendar displays infinite time, powered by an automatic movement, visible through the sapphire crystal case-back, revealing the complexity on its dial with impressive natural grace. The design combines classical elements with the aesthetic inspiration of the Grande Maison, all within a 37.5 mm diameter and while ensuring optimal readability. In the Rendez-Vous Tourbillon Night & Day, the gaze is naturally drawn both to the hypnotic motion of the tourbillon and to the gracefully revolving day/ night indication. While the hours and minutes move steadily by, time is also expressed through these additional complications. The dial features an exquisitely poetic guilloché motif that reinforces the contemporary femininity of the model. The central, delicately ribbed guilloché pattern subtly evokes the ripple of wild silk. Thus adorned and framed by a diamond-studded bezel, the dial provides a worthy backdrop for the tourbillon device at 6 o’clock featuring a case with a new and lighter bridge as well as the night and day indication at 12 o’clock provided by a hand that creates a fascinating depth of field. The powdered gilded dots in the centre punctuate the radiant feminine elegance of this model.

Ferrari is the world famous Italian sports car brand. Founded by Enzo Ferrari in 1929, the company started by sponsoring drivers and manufactured race cars as Scuderia Ferrari, which translates to “Ferrari Stable”. In 1947, the company moved into the production of street legal vehicles as Ferrari S.p.A. Throughout its history, Ferrari was noted for its participation in racing, most notably in Formula One in which it had great success. The Cavallino Rampante or “Prancing Horse” is the famous symbol of the Ferrari race team. The stallion is black on top of a yellow shield, and on top is green, white, and red, the national colors of Italy. After Enzo Ferrari won a race in Ravenna, he met the mother of Count Francesco Baracca, An ace of the Italian Air Force and National Hero of World War I. He would paint a prancing horse on the side of his plane. The Countess asked Enzo Ferrari to use this horse on his cars, suggesting it would bring him luck. Thus, the emblem of the prancing horse was born. Ferrari today has definitely stamped the world with its legacy and has no signs of slowing down. Ferrari even has its own merchandising line which includes products such as eyewear, pens, pencils, electronic goods, clothing, fragrences, watches and even laptops. Ferrari, the most famous Italian name in sport cars around the world. Montegrappa, the oldest Italian manufacturer of fine writing instruments. Together, these two companies make an epic collaboration, a series of fine writing instruments that would have any enthusiast of the automotive or pen world trying to pick their jaws back up from the floor. The Montegrappa For Ferrari is made in an aero-dynamic design and in limited quantities (like the Ferrari cars). High craftsmanship and attention to detail are the result of this combination. Even the special twist action cap reminds you of shifting gears. Each creation features the hand-finished Ferrari Emblem, stunning presentation box, and an 18k gold nib. Available in ballpen, rollerball, or fountain pen.

Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupé is a one-off and represents the
joined forces to bring an idea to fruition: “The appeal of
exclusive interpretation of a luxurious BMW Coupé as seen
this collaboration with Pininfarina is that you get another, very different and special angle on facets like luxury and exclusivity,” notes Karim Habib, Head of BMW Design. “The Italian company, after all, has always been a byword for these criteria in particular, demonstrating time and again its keen sensitivity and exceptional finesse in these areas. In Pininfarina we have found the ideal partner to lend shape to this vehicle concept.” “The result of this cooperative venture is far greater than the sum of its parts,” says Fabio Filippini, Head of Design at Pininfarina. “When two such tradition-rich and experienced brands join forces to turn a vision into reality, something utterly new and exciting emerges. From start to finish, this project was defined by a mutual respect for the identity of the other company.” The BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupé adds a new dimension to the BMW claim to exclusivity. This painstakingly created one-off captivates the viewer at first glance. Liberal surface areas and taut contours are the distinguishing elements of an elegant car body. Typical BMW proportions – a long wheelbase, stretched bonnet and set-back greenhouse – imbue the BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupé with imposing dynamics even when stationary. At the same time the car exudes balance and harmony: BMW values such as technology, dynamics and precision are complemented by the skilled craftsmanship of

signature of Pininfarina.
“I admire the reductive clarity and precision in Pininfarina’s design. Their expectations for the end result have been just
47
as high as ours, and their understanding of design perfectly complements the BMW design DNA for a vehicle of this kind.” With its broad, wheel-focused stance, the front of the BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupé radiates sheer presence and dynamics. The hallmark doublekidney grille and the road-focused headlights with their suggested twin circular look reveal at a glance the family bond with BMW. At the same time the distinctive Pininfarina elements have been interpreted with Italian finesse to lend the front end a special flair.
The trademark BMW kidney grille forms the central element of the front-end design, and all surfaces and lines take their bearings from it. It symbolically points to the engine at the heart of the vehicle, its size reflecting the power of the V12 unit nestling behind it. The “kidneys” are angled towards the road, citing the typical BMW “shark nose” and lending the front end an even more dynamic look, particularly when seen from the side. Viewed up close it discloses highly accomplished detail work: the front part of the bipartite kidney grille is made of matt-sheen aluminium, while behind it an identically shaped part in high-gloss black adds visual depth and makes for an exciting contrast of materials.
Above the kidney grille the bonnet stretches across the front of the car, its subtle contours appearing to emanate from the BMW emblem and lending the bonnet a dynamic elegance. The flat headlights underline the road-focused look associated with a BMW and round off the “face” of the BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupé. Their dynamic contours are in perfect harmony with the classic BMW twin circular look in an interpretation that leaves them open at the top. The use of LED technology creates a technically premium impression while adding a striking depth to the headlights.
The eye-catchingly sporty front apron concludes the front end of the BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupé as it dips towards the road. The flat, one-piece air intake accentuates the breadth of the front, an impression reinforced by chrome trim that adds a classy touch. The air intake is larger at the wheels and draws attention to the car’s wide, sporty track. Just above the road surface, discreet Pininfarina lettering points to the contributing partner from Italy, like a signature on a work of art.

ROBERT SWEEP text :: Robert Sweep Spring and summer is here and we are moving forward with the newly launched products from our Milan show in Italy . The clients looking for the latest and most glamorous products will be delighted to see the lighting and furnishings that represent the latest trends and colors with finishing and design details.
unique designs, the lighting effects are incredible. Most pieces on the high end are now hand made and finished for the best quality and detail. The clients need to be aware that at ordering, time for installation must be accounted for. Production time can be up to 10 weeks plus the shipping time from Italy.
As in fashion, the colors and details for furnishings and interiors are specific to the season. Lighting especially adds such value to any house -- whether it is a new building or resale. Lighting is one item that people notice the most and make comments on – if not done right it may become a deal breaker. Lighting fixtures of style and design are a must in any home ---in all rooms -- from the foyer to the dining room and to the bathroom.
All products are of course UL and CSA approved for our market. They become timeless lighting pieces and add such a different dimension to any room. They are available in various finishes and sizes.
Materials of the lights are now so varied and represent a vast array of shapes and looks. They are becoming art pieces on their own. With the
The next biggest trend in furnishing is the actual furniture itself. People are looking for very modern contemporary lines with very high quality fabrics and leathers. The styles are a combination of both - the contemporary with the newest design and the old classic pieces. For the contemporary section, clients want very simple and very clean lines
with a minimal floating effect, but it must be a functional piece for all areas of use - from the formal guests entertaining to the family and tv room. So that means materials like leather are highly in demand as they stand up very well. If it is fabric then it must be of a very high grade that will take a lot of use. Most high-end brands now have all the covers held on by velcro. The covers come off and can be replaced, cleaned and changed. In fact we are seeing many clients buying two sets of covers --- summer and winter versions. The tables going with the furniture have also become very clean and simple in their looks. There is a single end table with an organic design, made out of bronze with blackened glass tops. It is the layering effect of it all that adds to the look without it saying too much. On the side club chairs as well, there are simple designs that are popular 窶田lassic, modern or a new take on the old wing back. The fabrics here play a major part in the design and overall look and this is where the colors come in - there are the reds, oranges to aubergine or mauve in rich soft fabrics. Colors bring life to the room. Comfort and function again are major parameters on the pieces that clients choose. Next is the newest, greatest, biggest launch that people are crazy about! Planters -- indoor and outdoor -- but they are not your ordinary, standard run of the mill old planters that we have all seen and possesed. The newest launch is a company from England that has done the Louis Vitton stores, Dorchestor hotels and the Ramsey restaurants. Now they have manufacturing set up in North America. They have galvanized steel with powder coating finish and the color ranges are insane!! It is something people can have fun with, to add to the decor and liven it up with a useable product like the planter -- numerous sizes shapes and tons of colors are there for you to choose from. This is a real boon for people who want to add that dimension of look, style and color to their entrances, interiors or their yards. Nothing like this has ever been offered before. They can also be customized, with your
51
house number, logo, personal name etc. This is definitely the most exciting find of the season . Finally --- area rugs are an absolute must for any home -- it is the grounding piece that ties everything together in the house -adds the elegant warming effect and brings all the furniture together. Every room should have one. They come in new patterns and weaves. On one end we have the stark white shag, all polyester and totally low maintenance, but they add real glamour
to the setting. You can get a similar effect in basic greys and beiges or even black. The other spectrum is the patterned stripes with various similar tones in it. It works well with the neutral tones of the furniture and the walls. There is also the hand done rug, with a design concept into it -- exciting like an art installation. Bringing all this together in today’s home gives it a very new fresh look --- while also making it very livable and useable for all members of the family and guests. The look flows well and suits all styles, tastes and age groups and most importantly -- the budget. It gives any home a modern touch and a lighter, airy, fresh feel. These finishes and designs are meant to enhance the room and enlarge the spaces to give an added value to the property while keeping with the latest market trends.

sensual sophistication BY
CHOPARD
To accompany the Imperiale watch, redesigned in 2010, Chopard has created a new line of jewellery matching this elegant timepiece. With its blend of carefree charm and firm assurance, the Imperiale jewellery collection rejuvenates the imperial myth by adding a decidedly modern touch. This line inspired by the Imperiale watch is pervaded by an intimate and refined boudoir spirit expressed through a wealth of subtle and delicate details. The motif which adorns the dials of the watches, inspired by the traditional embroideries that used to decorate imperial gowns and cushions, blossoms on pendants, sleeper earrings, rings, and slender
bracelets. The white or rose gold curves of the jewellery, which can be polished or set with diamonds, provide fascinating glimpses of the velvety skin beneath, or are lit up by the soft sparkle of amethyst, pink quartz or chalcedony. At times ethereal and delicate or precious and voluptuous, the imperial motif lends itself to a wide range of refined compositions. A clever play on light and on volumes endows this jewellery with an undeniable aura of majesty. Imbued with a sophisticated sensuality, the Imperiale jewellery collection radiates a stately allure that is at once forceful and fragile.

PRIVate outdoor theatre for your luxury home & yatch With the gleaming flat screens in our homes sizing up year after year and media displays growing to increasingly life-sized proportions, you may have wondered, what’s next? A TV so big, apparently, that it’s not likely to fit inside even the largest of rooms. Designed by Porsche Design Studio and produced by Austrian maker C SEED Entertainment Systems, the newly launched C SEED 201 unveils an amazing 201 inches of screen, earning it the title of the world’s largest TV to date. Not expected to fit most indoor dwellings, the colossal screen is intended mainly for outdoor use – perfect, creators say, for private yacht screenings. Size aside, the expectation-exceeding philosophy behind C SEED 201 extends to the technology and image quality aspects, making for a showpiece that is truly larger than life. Made up of more than 725,000 LEDs, the water-resistant
56
display boasts cutting-edge technology including 4.4 trillion colors and a 100,000 HZ refresh rate (500 times the rate of a standard TV screen). It is also the only LED TV with a six-millimeter pixel pitch, ensuring crystal clear visibility even in bright sunlight. Held up on a secure below-ground shaft, the set folds away at the touch of a button when not in use, using seven folding panels. Unfolding is just as instant, taking only 40 seconds to reach full height of 4.65m; desired level and viewing angle are adjustable by remote control for personalized viewing comfort, rotating up to 270 degrees.
The unit comes complete with a Windows 7-based multisource media server equipped for both digital and analog video input including HDTV, Blu-Ray, and gaming consoles. Security is enforced with biometric fingerprint sensors built into the remote control to deter unauthorized access. The C SEED 201 comes with a price tag of $687,775 USD – or the approximate equivalent of four Porsche 911s.

THE SPECTACULAR
SKY MOON TOURBILLON _
PATEK PHILIPPE
_
The iconic Sky Moon Tourbillon is the Patek Philippe’s most complicated wristwatch with 12 complications on two dials. Now, the successor of the Sky Moon Tourbillon redefines the term grand complication – with a case and dial that require the utmost in craftsmanship and artistry. The movement of the new Ref. 6002, as it’s designated, is largely identical with its predecessor. It possesses a minute repeater with two cathedral gongs and a tourbillon; on the front dial, it indicates standard time and features a perpetual calendar with a retrograde date and a moon-phase display. The rear dial sets the stage for astronomical functions: it shows the northern sky, sidereal time, and the angular progression and phases of the moon. Unlike the predecessor, it indicates the moon phases instead of the moon age and features apertures instead of hands for the day of the week, month, and leap year displays. The totally new aspect of the Sky Moon Tourbillon Ref. 6002 is its appearance, with lavish decorations that elevate it to the status of a grand creation. To refer to a case or a dial is almost a sacrilege in the context of the Ref. 6002. Sculpture would be the more fitting term for a genuine work of art like the Sky Moon Tourbillon. In particular, it showcases two artisanal skills: the art of the engraver and that of the enameler. Since the advent of Geneva’s watchmaking heritage in the late 16th century, both of these crafts have been inseparably allied with watchmaking. Because the first portable timepieces of the epoch were still very inaccurate and had to be reset several times a day, they were primarily objects of prestige. That made it all the more important to endow them with precious materials and painstaking decorations
recesses are carefully filled with enamel, applied with an ultra-fine brush. When all recesses have been uniformly filled, the miniature oeuvre is fired in the oven at 850° Celsius. Tourbillon unites these two dimensions with incomparable poise: the precision of a tourbillon timekeeping instrument with the rate accuracy of a chronometer and the immaculate decorations that reflect the finest artisanal traditions of Geneva. A sculpture for the wrist, the case of the Sky Moon Tourbillon is a superb oeuvre carved from the massive white-gold blank entirely by hand. The eloquent ornaments, arabesque garlands, and gently curved elements of the Calatrava cross are produced with chip removal techniques using sharp burins that not only incise the precious metal but actually “lift” the decorations out of the gold surface. An involuntary movement or a brief moment of distraction would ruin the case and it would have to be re-melted. Thus, more than one hundred hours of work are invested until the engraving alone meets the approval of the master artisan and Patek Philippe’s President Thierry Stern. The dial is crafted from a thin disk in gold that is milled out until the crisp railway track scale, the surrounds of the dial center, calendar apertures, and moon-phase display stand out in relief. This is followed by the work of the specialized champlevé enameler who fills the recesses around the relief contours with blue enamel by hand. Even the smallest bounded
A highly complex masterpiece In horological terms, the new Sky Moon Tourbillon distinguishes itself as the Genevan manufacture’s most complicated wristwatch movement, its concept is to unite not as many as possible, but the most fascinating complications in the compact case of a wristwatch: a perpetual calendar with a retrograde date display, a minute repeater, a tourbillon, the display of sidereal time and a depiction of the nocturnal sky with the motion of the stars, the angular progression of the moon, and the moon phases. The analog displays for the day of the week, the leap year cycle, and the month have been replaced with aperture displays and the moon-age indication at 6 o’clock with a moon-phase display featuring the typical curved cutout that emphasizes the poetic personality of the watch. Minute repeater with cathedral gongs The minute repeater was and still is the pinnacle of horological artistry. During the past 25 years, Patek Philippe has devoted considerable attention to this complication, imbuing the hour, quarter-hour, and minute strikes with a new dimension in sonority. Thanks to a proprietary alloy developed explicitly for the gongs and the decades of experience accrued by Patek Philippe’s specialists, the sound of the strikes is pure, clear, and easily audible, even in the small case of a wristwatch. A practically inaudible centrifugal governor is responsible for the perfect rhythm of the strike sequence and suppresses the annoying background chatter that is typical of many minute repeaters. And not least, two extra-long cathedral gongs assure the remarkable richness and clarity of the sounds. They are nearly twice as long as ordinary gongs, so both of them must be coiled around the movement twice – a formidable challenge for the watchmaker. The relief-engraved slide that is used to actuate the minute repeater adds aesthetic charisma to the peerless acoustic experience.

the luxurious & charismatic
hotel sans souci

At the end of 2012, an extraordinary and glamorous hotel project came into being. The Hotel Sans Souci Wien in the Museumstraße 1 in the 7th district, brought to life together with the ingenious design partner yoo, is a breathtaking mixture of art, design, cool savoir vivre and unobtrusive luxury. Check in or move in? That is not the question here. The painstakingly revitalized building steeped in history is home to a deluxe boutique hotel as well as “hotelserviced residences“ on the top floor – a perfect retreat right in the heart of Vienna. “Charismatic luxury probably best describes the secret of the Sans Souci Wien Hotel“, explains Norbert Winkelmayer, CEO of the Sans Souci Group. “It is the special combination of art, design and good taste which defines the incomparable Sans Souci charm. Not ostentatious but with a reserved coolness – it is a way of life, a lifestyle.” A collection of modern art is generously displayed in the Sans Souci Wien. It is thus just as natural to stumble across original works of art by Roy Lichtenstein, Allen Jones or Steve Kaufman in the communal areas or in the rooms as it is to take a seat on designer furniture by Tom Dixon or Egg Chairs by Arne Jacobsen. Hotel Sans Souci is designed by the yoo Studio, the in-house design team from world renowned design company yoo founded by designer Philippe Starck and the visionary real estate developer John Hitchcox. Since 1999, they have been creating innovative hotel and living spaces with inspiring designs and extraordinary ambiences worldwide. In the Hotel Sans Souci Wien, yoo have transformed their vision of an urban living experience for the first time in an Austrian hotel. The charismatic yoo design language shapes the entire building, from the light-flooded lobby to all of the 63 individually arranged and spacious rooms and suites furnished in light colours.
The Hotel Sans Souci Wien is located in a building which was erected in 1872 and looks back at a vivid past. The inn “Zum großen Zeisig“, in which Johann Strauß performed his “Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka“ for the first time in 1858, was also located here. From 1873 to 1953, the house was in almost continuous operation as “Hotel Höller“ with just a brief interruption due to U.S. occupation after the Second World War. The Sans Souci Group acquired the building in August 2010 and began renovation works the following October. Due to its history, great care was taken in the course of the construction works to preserve the original brickwork and special charm of the building and to create an exclusive living atmosphere.
Art and culture dominate life within the walls of the hotel and also the immediate surroundings: The Sans Souci Wien in Museumstraße 1, 1070 Vienna, is in the midst of a pulsating centre of museums, theatres and a lively restaurant and bar scene. The artistic and cultural district Spittelberg and the Museumsquartier are just a stone‘s throw away, the Mariahilferstraße, Vienna’s largest shopping mile, and the elegant luxury boutiques in the 1st district are within walking distance.
The visibly proud CEO Norbert Winkelmayer explains, “We are the Viennese version of an international boutique hotel“, it is thus by no means surprising that Sans Souci Wien is a member of the international Boutique Hotel Group, the Preferred Boutique, which defines itself over a personal and stylish hotel experience. w w w.sanssouci-wien.com

THE 60M J’ADE
THE WORLD’S FIRST MEGA YACHT WITH A
FLOATING GARAGE
Now ready for delivery to the billionaire owner, J’Ade has been designed to feel at one with the sea, featuring special full height windows providing exceptionally wide panoramic views. This is combined with a beach club, a stern hatch that turns into a large platform by the water, and the highly innovative ‘flooded garage’, where the owner can store and easily access the 8 metre Riva Iseo Yacht without the need for a tender lift. J’Ade can comfortably host the whole extended family, with
room for 10 guests and 13 crew members. The mega yacht has a top speed of 16 knots and can make the Trans-Atlantic journey, giving easy access to both Europe and the Americas. A brand of the Ferretti Group, CRN specialises in the construction of fully customised steel and aluminium displacement megayachts ranging from 44 to 90 metres, and a displacement line made of composite (43
metres long CRN Navetta 43). This is an important year for CRN, celebrating its 50th anniversary and marking its resilience and success despite its position in a complex market which has seen the loss of many established brands. Lamberto Tacoli, CRN Shipyard Chairman and CEO, commented on the launch: We pride ourselves on the craftsmanship carried out by our skilled workers as they make it possible for us to reach every milestone. The
69
Shipyard is in full swing and all our efforts aim at maintaining CRN’s position in the elite world of shipbuilding.” The interior style is classic and modern, elegant and refined, with a fusion of materials including wood, leather, marble and metals. Canaletto walnut and polished rosewood are particularly prevalent, with hardwood floors made of wide Afromosia strips and white Tai Ping fitted carpets. As the name suggests, the colour jade is accented in different shades throughout the yacht’s décor. An audio/video entertainement system was developed by CRN in collaboration with Videoworks, allowing complete control from an ipad, and water, salt and weather-proof televisions are used throughout the yacht. Seen for the first time onboard a yacht, the floodable garage on the lower deck is an innovative engineering solution created by the CRN Shipyard. Operated hydraulically, the garage can dry out in 3 minutes and is lit by underwater lights for a dramatic effect. Next to the floating garage, which can also be used as a swimming pool, is the beach club. A stern hatch that turns into a large beach platform by the sea, the beach clubs offers a sunny terrace and allows safe and easy access into the ocean. The main salon features a bar area made of green marble and rosewood with a stunning backdrop of a large aquarium. Furniture throughout the salon is made by Baxter, and uses nabuk leather in browns and beiges and white travertine marble. Instead of a traditional dining area, the owner requested an area devoted to music; a white Yamaha piano sits among backlit white pergmena columns.
The glamorous owners suite features a balcony, furniture clad with white-silver nuance coconut leather by Fendi Club House Italia, a silk carpet and textiles and curtains made of cashmere by Loro Piana.

JAEGER-LECOULTRE & ASTON MARTIN
UNVEIL THREE SPECTACULAR NEW _
HOROLOGICAL MACHINES
_
Jaeger-LeCoultre unveils three new models developed in cooperation with the British manufacturer Aston Martin. Initiated almost a decade ago, the partnership between two iconic and influential actors in their respective fields of activity – Fine Watchmaking and fine sports cars – has given rise to a number of spectacular technical innovations and horological creations reflecting the values shared by the two prestigious brands. In 2013, to mark the 180th anniversary of the Grande Maison in the Vallée de Joux and the centenary of the legendary English carmaker, three original timepieces symbolize the enduring ties between these companies.
and dust by overcompressing one of the four water-resistance gaskets; along with a sophisticated shock-absorbing case guaranteeing absolute precision in all circumstances. The black dial bearing alternating red and white indications is adorned with a surface treatment evoking the grill on Aston Martin cars.
Master Compressor Extreme W-Alarm Aston Martin watch The alarm watches pilots had always dreamt of boasts all the qualities indispensable to those whose passion propels them across continents. Starting with a world time display that enables them to read off at a glance the time in any time zone on the planet. Since long journeys across the world’s various time zones imply facing concomitant time differences, the alarm function not only features exceptional readability, but also a full and powerful sound. The innovative display combines playfulness with absolute clarity – composed of two juxtaposed discs appearing through a large window at 9 o’clock: the first is devoted to hours running from 1 to 12, and the second to quarter-hours. The Master Compressor Extreme W-Alarm Aston Martin watch is powered by the automatic Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 912 featuring a blend of reliability and a sporting nature stemming from its ability to face up to the most extreme conditions. The compression key further enhances the crown’s resistance to water Master Hometime Aston Martin watch Like the aerodynamic lines and innovative technical solutions of Aston Martin cars that have been making their mark on the history of motor sports for a century, the Hometime concept developed by Jaeger-LeCoultre is a milestone opening up whole new vistas for the watchmaking art in this early 21st century. The secret of its success lies in its simple operation combined with
extreme beauty. The Master Hometime Aston Martin immediately stands out for its structured black dial that has become the symbol of a partnership embodied by exceptional horological accomplishments. The sporting nature of the timepiece is accentuated by the brushed, streamlined lugs smoothly extending from the 40 mm-diameter steel case. AMVOX5 World Chronograph Cermet watch Through the conception of its mechanism and the arrangement of the dial indications, the AMVOX5 World Chronograph Cermet guarantees absolute readability and enables at-a-glance reading of the entire range of information. The central chronograph hand is associated with two counters on either side of the vertical axis in order to count off the minutes and hours elapsed since the start of the measurement. The lower part of the dial is devoted to the operating indicator that testifies to the smooth running of the watch and comprises the date aperture appearing at its base. The inner bezel ring bears the city disc for the world time display enabling instant readings for each time zone. The dial center is occupied by the hours and minutes hands along with the chronograph seconds hand. This wealth of information is perfectly legible thanks to the clear hierarchical arrangement of the classic Aston Martin colours: black, anthracite, white and red. This is a professional instrument designed to achieve high performance. Beating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, the movement is housed within a 44 mm-diameter case that is water-resistant to 5 bar and made from a revolutionary material, reinforced cermet recently developed by research labs for high-powered race-car engines.
