1768年，法国人路易斯·安东尼·布加维尔 (Louis Antoine de Bougainville)乘船停靠这 里时，眼前的美景让他不由得兴奋喊叫：“这 就是全新的基西拉岛(Cythére)!”布加维尔坚 信自己发现了爱神维纳斯的“新爱情岛”，而 这片岛屿就是今天的大溪地，尾随而至的还有 著名的库克船长，他在岛上修建了一个瞭望 哨。在随后的岁月中，优美的岛屿风光吸引了 往返船只中的船员，更有很多著名的画家慕名 而来，比如高更和马蒂斯，在这里为其作品寻 找主题和灵感。而这“爱与美的天堂”之所以 至今魅力不减，还要归功于另外一名艺术家和 探险家：巴黎摄影师阿多菲·希尔文(Adolphe Sylvain)。 希尔文的足迹踏遍大溪地及117个法属波利尼 西亚岛屿的各个角落，为多个知名杂志拍摄 了数千张照片，比如《生活》(Life)、《巴黎竞 赛》(Paris Match)和《国家地理》(National Geographic)。希尔文的大部分作品都是黑白 照片。尽管如此，今天再看这些照片，似乎仍 然可以感受到岛屿的色彩，闻到那令人心醉的 香气，这种美仿佛永远凝固在了胶片之上。这 个举世无双的海中仙境，其魔幻一般的魅力至 今仍然不减分毫。像李昂纳多·迪卡普里奥 (Leonardo DiCaprio)、皮尔斯·布鲁斯南(Pierce Brosnan)和卡梅隆·迪亚兹(Cameron Diaz)等 明星人物，也纷纷从美国、日本、中国和欧洲 等地来到这里，尽情沉浸在这个魅力恒久的世 外桃源中。

When the Frenchman Louis Antoine de Bougainville moored here in the year 1768, he called out excitedly, “La nouvelle Cythére!” Bougainville was sure that, with Tahiti, he had discovered the “new island of love” of Aphrodite. Captain Cook soon followed and commissioned an observatory to be built on the island. And finally, the beautiful inhabitants turned the heads of the sailors on the “Bounty”, and famous painters, such as Gauguin and Matisse, found subjects for their works here. However, we have another artist and adventurer to thank for the fact that the legend of this “paradise of beauty and love” still beguiles us to this day – the Parisian photographer Adolphe Sylvain.

In thousands of photographs, Sylvain recorded life in Tahiti and on the other 117 French Polynesian islands – for magazines such as “Life”, “Paris Match” and “National Geographic”. Sylvain preferred to take his photographs in black-and-white – but to this very day, the colours and the captivating fragrances of life on the islands seem to be engrained in the old celluloid pictures.

And today, this incomparable setting still exerts a magical attraction.

Visitors include Leonardo DiCaprio, Pierce Brosnan and Cameron Diaz – and they come from the USA, Japan, China and Europa in order to immerse themselves in a world that has not lost any of its enchantment.

Even during the scheduled flight with Air Tahiti Nui (ATN) from Paris via L.A., the discrete hospitality and the charm of French Polynesia are evident. The service in the “Poerava”, the airline’s business class, is excellent. The regional cuisine on board, with fresh fruit and delicious fish dishes, offers an initial foretaste of the top-class restaurants at our destination.

We land in Papeete, the capital of Tahiti. A lively potpourri of colourful facades and market stands with handicrafts made of mother Tahiti pearls and aromatic vanilla are particularly sought-after.

但宝拉宝拉岛之所以享有全球美誉，还在于它 是一个最奢华、最昂贵的度假胜地。知名酒店 品牌纷纷入驻，高档五星级酒店林立，比如圣 瑞吉斯(St.Regis)、四季(Four Seasons)、洲际 （Intercontinental）、希尔顿和艾美(Le Meridien)等等。 斯嘉丽·约翰逊（Scarlett Johansson）（皮囊

The Garden of Eden is turquoise-blue.

Myriad multi-coloured fish swarm around me, gently brushing against my legs, then finally gliding through the lagoon like a majestic ballet. As I join them on their journey, a voice from within me quietly whispers, “Welcome to paradise, welcome to Bora Bora.”

The “Henry Graves Supercomplication”

When, on 14th November, Sothebey’s in Geneva opens its doors, aficionados of precious watches will be on the edge of their seats. This is the date when the most expensive watch in the world will be auctioned – the “Henry Graves Supercomplication”, a golden pocket watch made by Patek Philippe in 1932.

It has an estimated value of US$ 16.8 million. Luxury Life wanted to find out how valuable time is for us.

The history of time began with the first “clocks” made by human beings – notches on the bones of animals which corresponded to the phases of the moon and date back 30,000 years.

Approximately 5,000 years ago, enormous stone boulders were first used to determine the solstices. Based on the arrangement of these monoliths – such as Stonehenge in the south of England – which are still steeped in mysticism to this day, the shortest and longest day of the year were identified. Antique tombs in Thebes, in Egypt, also served to record the position of the sun within the annual cycle.

一事实不仅让自然科学家们受益，同时也催生 了当今的权威时间记录设备 — 原子钟表的问世。 在1940年之前，全世界 — 至少在英国，人们 如果想要知道具体的时间，都要求助于约翰· 贝尔维(John Belville)和他的后继者们。约翰在 伦敦附近的格林威治天文台工作，因此可以每 天早晨按照格林威治标准时间(Greenwich Greenwich Observatory I Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)

确到十分之一秒的时间。他去世后，他的妻子 和女儿继承了这项兴旺的“时间生意”。

The “natural clocks”, such as the position of the sun, moon and stars, the seasons and rings on trees were important sources of information. However, a great many scientists and scholars drew false conclusions. The Irish bishop Ussher was absolutely convinced that God must have created the world on Saturday evening, 22nd October in the year 4004 BC. Today we know that the earth is approximately 4.54 billion years old. Atomic research is to thank for this knowledge, as this branch of science makes it possible to measure time more accurately than ever before, because no other element is – from a mathematical point of view – so predictable as the decay of radioactive material. This fact is of benefit to natural scientists as well as to atomic clocks, which are the authoritative timekeepers today.

features have been taken up and revamped on this almost 38 meter long yacht. The 122’ Mythos is the outcome of the collaboration between yacht Designer Mauro Micheli – the founder, together with Sergio Beretta, of Officina Italiana Design (which designs Riva’s entire range), AYT&D - Advanced Yacht Technology & Design, Ferretti Group’s research, style and product development centre, and the Interior Design and Technical Department of CRN, which was in charge of the interior and naval project development.

Layout and decor The first 122’ Mythos features the optional 3-cabin version, specially requested by its Owner for its true luxury lies in its spaciousness and privacy. The standard version proposed by the shipyard has 4 cabins, and an additional optional layout with 5 cabins is also available.

Main deck The main materials used on this yacht include Canaletto walnut, in a light, softer shade - and specially selected by the Owner for all the yacht interiors - leather and chromium-plated steel, in line with Riva’s traditional style. Every detail is characterized by essential, clean lines, which result in a timeless, extremely natural and yet elegant style.

The large uninterrupted glazing, which runs along the entire main deck, offers a breathtaking panoramic view and lets in plenty of light into the day area, connected to the raised pilot station and to the forward galley.

The salon and the dining area have been conceived as an open space; the living area features 3 white leather sofas and 2 armchairs in a contrasting brown shade all signed by Cappellini.

The living area also features a large coffee table designed by OID and lined with dark brown leather, a carpet by Bottega Conticelli, and a couple of “Atollo” lamps by Oluce, also to be found in the Owner’s suite.

The dining area is furnished with a large steel and glass table with 10 dark brown leather Minotti chairs, in pleasant contrast with the steel and white lacquered details. At the end of the open space, a white niche with its top lighting hosts a walnut and lacquered cabinet. On both starboard and port sides there are two doors: the right door leads to the lobby with a head and the stairs leading below deck, while the left door opens into a spacious, comfortable full-beam galley, entirely furnished with white lacquered furniture.

Lower deck On this first Riva 122’ Mythos, the very practical layout is further

Riva 122 enhanced by the Owner’s decision to have a spacious master

stateroom and only two guest cabins. All three cabins are amidships, to ensure maximum comfort also when cruising, while the crew are located forward.

Technology and performance The aluminum planning hull can reach top recorded speed of 28,5 and a cruising speed of 26 knots, thanks to two MTU 12 V 4000 M 93L, 3510 mhp engines. This is a high-tech planning yacht ensuring great comfort and top performance in its class.

The high-tech shaft drive propulsion system is fitted with an elastic free standing gearbox to ensure maximum comfort and noise and vibration reduction. Propellers have been designed for utmost efficiency and outstanding performance in terms of both consumption and range. Maximum comfort is also guaranteed by the American Boat Thruster stabilizing system.

122 Mythos certified ‘Grenn plus yacht’ by Rina In the design of the new Riva flagship, maximum attention was given to environmental impact reduction: several construction solutions have been adopted for which RINA has issued the voluntary “Green Plus” Class Notation. On Riva 122’ Mythos, in particular, the following construction solutions have been adopted: energy saving LED lighting; particular focus on waste handling procedure through solid waste source-sourcing and discharge of sewage (black and gray water), in compliance with an environmental protection plan; high-tech engines with low particulate matter and NOx emissions.

Riva and CRN The 122’ Mythos is also the symbol of the long-standing partnership between two historical and iconic Ferretti Group brands: Riva, which in 2012 celebrated its 170th anniversary, and CRN - the Group’s shipyard specializing in the construction of fullycustom mega-yachts in steel and aluminum between 40 and 90 meters - which celebrated its 50th anniversary last year.

Through the 122’ Mythos, Riva and CRN, two leading players of the international boating industry, are breathing new life into their more-than-40-year old partnership dating back to 1970, when Carlo Riva decided to terminate his agreement with a Dutch shipyard and establish a partnership with CRN. A decision that proved to be successful and that between 1970 and 1978 led to the construction of six 23.50 meter motor yachts in the Marco Polo series and two Vespucci models (a 90 footer and a 100 footer) designed by Carlo Riva Yacht Division. www.riva-yacht.com I www.ferrettigroup.com

CHALET

CHIC

During the 19th century movement for country life and

the mountain world, in the wake of the Romantic period, European aristocracy and the emerging bourgeoisie developed a growing affection for traditional wooden houses in the Swiss Alps. Due to the burgeoning tourism in this region, the “chalet” rapidly emerged as a type of holiday home.

Traditionally built of wood, or at least cladded in wood, with a typical shallow gable roof and wide overhang, the “Swiss Mountain Homes” provide a great deal of cosiness, a reason why today they are just as popular as they were 150 years ago. The company B & B Innenausbau AG in Klosters was founded in 1990. Grisons master carpenter Andrea Bärtsch and his wife, Therese Bärtsch, an interior designer, took over the company from his father. With total of 37 employees they produce traditional interior furnishing of the highest standards in all types of wood and styles. Working widely with Grisons-style designs, all customer requests are prepared to the finest detail. Structures made of rare and old wood, up to 150 years old, are very exclusive, and crafted for ceilings, floors, kitchens or fitted wardrobes. Also finely carved ornaments such as deer antlers or other Alpine and hunting motifs are characteristic of the typical “Chalet Chic”.

Since 1991, the Rudolf Bosch Antique Shop has impressed with its restoration of antique furniture. As antique joiners who specialise in Swiss ebonist work, Rudolf Bosch and his team restore valuable unique specimens. “Ebonist” has been a job title for a cabinet-maker since the 17th century. It’s an investment of lasting value and a decorative item at the same time, the beauty of which one can enjoy every day anew. Why not place your special piece of furniture in your private chalet? The range of services offered by Rudolf Bosch also includes panelling and the installation of furniture in historic buildings – he will also be your international expert who will fly in and take a look at your antiques.

Sensai BEAUTY RITUALS FOR PERFECT

By Patricia Schweizer I Uwe Herzog Translation Louise Mawbey I Mark S. Kennedy

感受茶道的宾客缓缓踱步穿过花园， 根据禅意的指引，丢掉他们每天生活 的喧嚣。再来到净水盆，涤清自己的 身体和灵魂。 茶道表演开始。SAHO 皮肤护理系列产品理念之灵感，就源 自这种古老的传统仪式。

就像传统茶道一样，日本化妆品公司纤细 (SENSAI)旗下的SAHO品牌也拥有自己的“仪 式”,它的理念在于实现内在的洁净,对身体进行持

mask for oily and impure combination skin. And the best thing

www.sensai-cosmetics.com

about it is that the mask contains genuine volcanic mud which has an anti-inflammatory, calming effect. Those with dry and sensitive skin types are advised to use the moisturising MILKY SOAP. As a supplementary step, SILK PEELING POWDER is applied two to three times a week – a foaming, intensive, yet gentle exfoliator which acts without creating friction. It calms the skin and improves its texture. When applied regularly, the ingredients interact perfectly together to leave the skin looking fresh and clear. And now we can approach the “shrine of beauty” …

Double cleansing is followed by double moisturising. This intensive skincare ritual is also completed in two steps. Just as the rain moves across the land and gives it vitality, we now give our skin added moisture. This is because, just like the countryside, dry skin does not absorb nutrients very effectively. SENSAI is also aware of this secret of “inner and outer beauty” and has developed special moisturisers with which we reawaken our largest and most important organ – our skin. The refreshing care lotion in the SENSAI CELLULAR PERFORMANCE range acts on your skin like a wonderful “summer rain”. In this way, we open the “door” to beneficial nutrients which all skin types need in order to reveal their freshness and beauty on a lasting basis.

For this important skincare phase, the researchers at SENSAI have put their trust in a new development – Watercress Extract.

Special plant extracts are used which increase the amount of aquaporins: important proteins that open up the fine channels in the cell membrane on the surface of our skin. The skin therefore absorbs moisture and active ingredients more effectively – in a similar way to a paddy field whose soil has been prepared appropriately before being irrigated. The combination of natural, nourishing ingredients acts as a barrier to the skin’s worst enemies: dryness, loss of moisture, fine lines, wrinkles and a lack of radiance. In a daily ritual, mornings and evenings, we ward off these negative influences and restore vitality, freshness and beauty to our skin, leaving it feeling invigorated but also protected – an amazing effect that we are highly grateful for.

The unique SAHO concept from SENSAI comprises the cleansing range SILKY PURIFYING and the CELLULAR PERFORMANCE LOTION, EMULSION & CREME for excellent skincare, as well as the CELLULAR PERFORMANCE FOUNDATION anti-ageing make-up. After a gentle facial massage, we complete our beauty ritual with this vitalising foundation in order to create the perfect finish.

In 4000 BC, hunter gathers roamed the Highland’s Skibo Estate, prior to Vikings, Christians and St. Gilbert’s residence.

In 1898, US “Steel King” Andrew Carnegie, a Dunfermline weaver’s son, acquired it. Extravagantly rebuilding the castle plus adding an indoor swimming pool, lodges and a golf course, Carnegie entertained the “World’s “Who’s Who” at his “Heaven on Earth”. In 2003, Carnegie Club members bought Skibo.

“The Carnegie Club” offers private members luxurious hospitality, elite country sports, and top links golf. Many Carnegie belongings grace Skibo’s majestic hand-carved décor, like boosted chairs and low door handles for his five-foot height. An organ lover, morning music is customary as is Evening Pipers and “Ode to Haggis”. Visits may be arranged with the Club.

Cawdors have dwelled at Moray’s Cawdor Castle since 1380 when the Castle’s tower was built around a tiny holly tree. The Dungeon and “Murder Hole” are musts like the extensive gardens - the Holly Maze, Thistle garden, Auchindoune’s exotic Tibetan garden, hilly Wild Garden’s ancient redwoods, or the garden from the 1700s with its seasonal flowers and exotic fruits. Cawdor in Macbeth was Shakespeare’s fiction. Lady Cawdor hosts small groups for visits or tea.

Art ART FAIRS

The increasing buying power of Chinese collectors

By Phoebe Ladenburg

At the time of writing this, the London Art Fair season is in full swing: Masterpiece followed Olympia Art & Antiques Fair and Art Antiques London, and soon Asian Art Week, PAD, and Frieze will be upon us (as well as innumerable others). The word on every dealer’s lips is (as has been the case for the past decade) Asia or, more specifically, China, and how to get collectors to buy stock from European dealers.

Chinese art buyers are hugely important to the global art market: imports of art in 2012 were just over $1 billion. However, the force of their

buying power is felt most strongly within China itself, both on the mainland and in Hong Kong.

The trend of Chinese collectors buying within China is reflected in the reported sales of works

by Chinese artists in 2013, of which 94% were sold internally.

Business trends in the art market differ greatly from Europe and the USA to Asia. For example, whereas in the US, Sotheby’s and Christie’s alone accounted for over 80% of fine art sales in 2013, in China the picture is more varied: Poly International and China Guardian accounted for 13% and 10% of total fine art sales respectively, with Christie’s

So, how do art fairs fit into this picture? With a buying culture so different to that of Europe and the USA, and strict laws on importing and exporting, the Anglo-American and European model of the art fair has nevertheless made an attempt to transplant itself into mainland China and Hong Kong with promising results.

Recently, Fine Art Asia, a Hong Kong-based fair now in it’s tenth edition, released statistics showing a marked increase in the Asian appetite for Western art over the past 11 years. Whilst the majority of fair attendees were from China, Hong Kong and surrounding countries, European exhibitors had increased by 30% since 2007 and many of the reported sales were of more traditionally Western works. So, from this we could infer that one of the unique roles of the art fair in China and Hong Kong is to introduce Western art dealers directly to Eastern clients, which not only boosts the European art market, but also allows Asian buyers a more personal, trust-based transaction than that which the auction houses offer.

In February, Fine Art Asia announced a new Beijing edition called Guardian Fine Art Asia (GFAA), which was held from 28 May – 1 June 2014. The event is the result of a collaboration between Fine Art Asian and Guardian Beijing, a long-established arts organisation in China. This collabration, along with the backing of the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC, the People’s Government of Beijing Municipality and The World Trade Organisation, lends the fair legitimacy which indubitably adds to the sense of trust and safety in transactions between dealers and buyers who are still forging professional relationships.

At the opening ceremony of the fair, General Manager of Guardian Art Centre, Mr Kou Qin, commented, “Nowadays, Chinese collectors’ interest towards western collectibles is […] growing. Therefore, the domestic demand of sino-foreign cultural exchanges will be inevitable to the development of the local art market. We hope that GFAA can present the most outstanding works of art from around the world to Chinese collectors.”

The fair saw 20 galleries from around the world exhibit over 1,000 works of art. These included a most exceptional five piece garniture brought by Vanderven Oriental Art from the Kangxi period (1662-1722) in China. Previously held in a private Dutch collection, the return of these vases to China for this fair underlines the cyclical nature of the antique collecting business.

No less exceptional, but vastly different in origin, were the 100

The new “

Le Hoyo de San Juan” 荷约蒙德利雪茄新品

Product announcements get fans excited, be it the launch of a new car, a new computer (this is true especially for Apple fans) or, naturally, also the announcement of a new Cuban cigar. Expectations are especially high when one knows that there hasn’t been a new “Le Hoyo” by one of the oldest cigar manufacturing brands, the Hoyo de Monterrey, in decades.

as the first impression lets you assume. In the second third, it becomes even more agreeable by increasing in strength again, which never grows too dominant. Culinarily, I could imagine a light meaty snack or poultry, while this cigar is probably not up to rather heavy meaty dinners with opulent wines. Basically, its taste is found in the mid segment and ends - after about an hour of smoking pleasure - a bit more mildly. It never grows bitter, which will please the aficionado who smokes the cigar to the last stub.
