Caring for Palm Beach’s communities

At Wells Fargo, we believe we can only be as strong as the communities in which we work and live.

That’s why we’ve provided a broad range of support to the Palm Beach-area charities and causes listed here. In addition to volunteer time, we’ve committed more than $11 million to Florida nonprofit organizations in the past year.

In this spirit, we salute all of these organizations for their tireless efforts to enhance the quality of life for people living in Palm Beach and the city’s surrounding communities.

v FROM THE PUBLISHER

Passionately Involved f you count Super Bowl Sunday, this month brings three of my favorite days.

While Valentine’s Day has its obvious merits, I like Groundhog Day as well.

Although it’s not an actual “holiday” in the truest sense of the word, I enjoy the tongue-in-cheek tradition that supposedly tells us whether spring is right around the corner or we’re in for an extended winter.

Most of us understand it’s scientifically meaningless, but I suppose we eagerly take notice of anything that calls itself a barometer of the future because we always want the scoop, inside information. But, really, what does it matter if we get another month of gray weather? I find there are seldom any cloudy days when I surround myself with people who bring their own sunshine, as the saying goes. When you associate with people who do what they love, their attitude is contagious.

All my life, I have been fortunate to have lived and worked with exceptionally passionate people. Family, friends and colleagues at various times have all shown me how deeply they care about their particular pursuits—whether it’s their careers, their favorite causes or their personal interests—and that ultimately inspires me in many ways. It’s easy to find myself invigorated about my own pursuits after spending even a little bit of time with them.

At our offices, for example, it’s therapeutic to walk around and simply observe some of the brightest people in the publishing business in action. For most of them, this is more than a job; it’s a reflection of their own personalities—a calling. Of course, this is not unique to us. Business executives (the late Steve Jobs of Apple immediately comes to mind), teachers, physicians, even a friend of mine whose hobby is handcrafting fine furniture … the world is filled with people passionate about what they do. Those are the people whose company I seek.

And, yes, passion in the traditional sense—the kind associated with Valentine’s Day—can be just as energizing. There is nothing quite as simultaneously impressive and amusing as watching people going to every extent possible to demonstrate they’re worthy of someone else’s affection, plying them with flowers, jewelry, chocolates and other indulgences. It’s easy to feed off that kind of verve and vivacity, regardless of your own romantic attachments at the time.

In the end, we’re not at the mercy of a rodent in Pennsylvania to tell us whether we’ll see cold, gray skies. Engaging with those who radiate passion and energy on a daily basis overcomes any weather forecast. What we choose to experience is entirely up to us.

v EDITOR’S LETTER

Passionate Nature s E. M. Forster once said, “One person with passion is better than 40 people merely interested.” Nothing could be truer. The men and women who feel strongly about something end up becoming our icons and our inspirations.

This month’s issue is devoted to these individuals and their passionate pursuits.

First on the roster are Bob and Gudrun Cuillo, who live life with such enthusiasm and humor that it is contagious. Everyone loves to be around them—and it isn’t only because they are so successful at their endeavors, the most recent of which is winemaking in Italy’s Chianti Classico region. These two are larger than life, and it’s nowhere more evident than around their dinner table. Bob, a home cook who could out-sauté many chefs, and Gudrun, a flawless hostess with an eye for beauty, share their bounty when they entertain—be it in Palm Beach or Tuscany. See for yourself in “Under a Tuscan Sky,” on page 84.

When people are passionate about something, it shows in everything they touch. Such is the case with Mark Badgley and James Mischka, whose glamorous designs have gone beyond the runway into the hallowed halls of The Breakers.

With the unveiling of the Imperial Designer Suite, Mark and James have shown how versatile they are—and how their eye for fabric, texture and detail extends seamlessly to interior design. For some of their favorite objects, turn to “Suite Dreams,” on page 78.

Acquisition is an art. It goes beyond the immediate emotional benefits of a purchase to encompass such concepts as investment potential and appreciation. For collectors who buy for both love and value, we present a roundup of expert voices on the art of collecting. Turn to “Artful Trends,” on page 80.

I hope our own passion for bringing you the best of the Palm Beach lifestyle shows in the pages that follow. Enjoy the issue!

v Christopher Kennedy

Lawford

Actor, author and activist Christopher Kennedy Lawford will come to town February 5 to speak at CARP’s annual spring luncheon at the Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach in Manalapan. CARP, which stands for Comprehensive Alcoholism Rehabilitation Programs Inc., provides prevention, education and treatment services to people and families battling addictions.

Lawford, who has been in recovery himself for more than 25 years, has written two books, the memoir Systems of Withdrawal and Moments of Clarity. He also is involved with Caron Treatment Centers, the United Nations and the World Health Organization in efforts to raise awareness and money to help people move from addiction to recovery. —Michelle M. Havich

Jann CObb

n Why are groups like CARP important to you?

CARP does amazing work for folks who need services, and it does it on a level where it affects people from all different economic levels. It’s critical to me that these organizations are supported and that we do everything we can in order to get them attention. n What are you going to talk about at the spring luncheon?

I’m going to talk about how [addiction] is a treatable illness, and the prevalence of it. I’m going to talk about the interconnectedness of all addictive disease— chemical as well as process addictions. I’m going to be talking about stigma and the kinds of things I’m going to be doing in the next year, releasing a book and some tools, including a website that’s all about trying to keep people in recovery longer. n The Kennedys had a strong presence in Palm Beach. Did you spend a lot of time here?

We had a great time in Palm Beach. I love that Mizner house that my grandfather owned; it’s my favorite house that I was ever in in my whole life. I went there probably three or four times a year with my cousins. I loved it there.

It’s been 100 years since Hamilton Jewelers opened its first store of dazzling jewelry in Trenton, New Jersey.

Since then, the family business has expanded to five locations, including Palm Beach and Palm Beach Gardens.

In honor of this milestone, the jeweler is introducing a new sterling silver and diamond pendant every month throughout 2012 for only $100. January’s was a snowflake and February’s is a heart—perfect for Valentine’s Day. (561659-6788, hamiltonjewelers.com)

Chic Boutique Palm Beacher Michelle Farmer has made a name for herself designing jewelry with pearls, leather and diamonds. Now, she’s expanding her repertoire with Michelle Farmer Collaborate, an eclectic resort wear boutique she opened at 105 North County Road that features chic items from artists, clothing designers, lighting designers and, of course, her jewelry line.

“It is like a mini Barneys in Palm Beach,” says Farmer, whose long-term goal is to incorporate her own clothing designs into the mix. The boutique, which hosts fashion shows at Nick and Johnnie’s every Saturday afternoon (be sure to make reservations), will exhibit Vincent Brandi’s oil-on-canvas work through February 15 and host an invitation-only cocktail party February 17 featuring Rush Zimmerman photography.

Time Travel Board a trolley and ride through West Palm Beach’s past with the Historic Trolley Tours, presented by the Downtown Development Authority. The tour guide, portraying a woman engaged to a World War II serviceman, shares the history of such landmarks as the 1916 Courthouse and highlights the area’s architectural styles. The 45-minute tours will run through April 21 and are offered Fridays at 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. and Saturdays at 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. The tour costs $5; children aged 10 and younger ride for free.

Museum-worthy Jim Alterman began collecting art when he was 12 or 13 years old, and he hasn’t stopped since. As a result, the part-time Manalapan resident, who owns Ashley John Gallery in Palm Beach and Jim’s of Lambertville in New Jersey, has opened a third gallery. Also named Ashley John Gallery, after his 6-year-old twins, the new location—at 820 South Dixie Highway in West Palm Beach—boasts 9,300 square feet of antiques and more than 500 paintings. Among the eclectic collection are antique pedal cars (including a RollsRoyce), a 6-foot-tall robot created in the 1950s and the statue of Nipper the RCA dog that sat atop the company’s factory in Chicago.

Fifteen years ago, cyclist Raphael Clemente

was pursuing an Olympic medal, placing twelfth in the qualifier for the 1996 Atlanta games.

These days he’s proving his mettle in West Palm Beach as the executive director for the Downtown Development Authority. Thanks to his travels throughout the world, Clemente saw the way public transportation systems worked for more than just motor vehicles. He hopes to use some of the best practices to improve our community.

“There is a large percentage of our population in Palm Beach County that can’t or doesn’t drive a car for one reason or another, and that’s a segment of the population that’s being marginalized by the way our transportation systems have been designed,” he says. —L.G.S.

Founded in 1912 by Max Greenberg as a hardware supplier in Lake Worth, the original location was destroyed by a hurricane in 1928, prompting the move to its current Clematis Street location, as well as a change in merchandise. Although the products have evolved from hammers and kerosene stoves to fine linens and Egyptian cotton towels, the four-generation family business—now known nationwide—has always upheld high standards for luxury lines and quality customer service. In honor of its centennial, Pioneer Linens will celebrate with a February 7 luncheon at The Mar-a-Lago Club.

diversions first class v ON A QUEST Seabourn’s newest ship elevates the cruising experience.

By Daphne Nikolopoulos

The Seabourn experience is so different that the cruise line doesn’t even call its vessels ships. It refers to them as “the yachts of Seabourn.”

True, they are much smaller than typical cruise ships. The largest in the fleet—the Odyssey, Sojourn and the new Quest—can accommodate up to 450 guests, with the smaller ships limited to 208. For comparison purposes, large ocean liners have a guest capacity of about 1,000, with some mammoth superliners going as high as 2,500.

Clockwise from top left: the Observation Bar on the top deck; the pool area; the Spa Villa; a Seabourn Suite.

Preceding page: the new Seabourn Quest.

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

And yet there is nothing small about the experience. On the Quest, which recently made its debut on North American shores, every room is a suite, and 90 percent of these have balconies. Unlike other lines’ staterooms, where you always seem to be bumping into the furniture, even the most basic suites on the Quest have walk-in closets, generous sitting areas, writing desks, tables inside and out for private dining (any meal can be taken in suite), and bathrooms with separate tubs and showers and double vanities.

Public spaces are large, too (with the exceptions of the casino and Restaurant 2, the more-intriguing dining option, which seats only 48). For example, the two-deck spa measures 11,400 square feet and offers a Kinesis wall, herbal bath facilities and an extraordinary indoor/outdoor spa villa that is ideal for couples.

Right: the Signature Suite. Below: the hallway leading to the main restaurant.

The main benefit of cruising Seabourn, however, is the service, in both quantity— the Quest’s mostly European crew numbers upward of 330, for a guest-to-crew ratio of nearly one-to-one—and quality. The company training must be rigorous, because these polished men and women ensure you want for nothing. If you happen to be aboard a cruise that offers the Caviar in the Surf experience, you’ll know what we mean. After the ship anchors, servers walk in the shallows with trays in hand to ply you with Champagne and caviar as you float without a care. It may not be for everyone, but no one can dispute it is the height of indulgence.

As you read this, the Quest is on its maiden world cruise, stopping at such ports as Cape Town, South Africa, and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, before terminating in Venice, Italy, in April. That enviable itinerary includes enrichment programs like lectures by composer Marvin Hamlisch and astronaut/aquanaut Scott Carpenter, performances at the Saigon Opera House, and private tours of the eponymous winery of golfer (and Jupiter resident) Ernie Els. All this is typical of the Seabourn experience, where much is lavished upon few. After tasting it once, it’s hard to imagine any other way. seabourn.com u

Luxury PLUG AND PLAY Driving the remarkable new electric Rolls-Royce Phantom 102EX is a lesson in current affairs.

BY HOWARD WALKER

Sleeping babies make more noise than this. Marcel Marceau performing before Benedictine nuns creates a greater ruckus. All you hear from your throne-like driver’s seat is a distant whoosh of wind noise, the muted thrum of tires pitter-pattering over acned asphalt.

We’re driving an electric Rolls-Royce. No, not one of those cheesy chrome-grilled golf carts you see at PGA National or The Breakers West. This is the Rolls-Royce 102EX Phantom Experimental Electric, to give it its full title.

Instead of a gas-gulping V12 engine under that mile-long hood— 11 mpg city on a good day—there’s a 1,400-pound battery pack comprising 96 lithium-ion cells cranking out 71 kilowatt hours of juice.

Hook it up to your laptop and it’ll run until the next century.

All this voltage and wattage is channeled to two enormous electric motors ironically occupying the real estate normally reserved for the gas tank. Together, they crank out an impressive 389 horsepower and axle-twisting 590 pound-feet of torque. The Hoover Dam in full flow doesn’t generate this kind of energy.

The end result? Zero-to-60 mph acceleration in fewer than 8 sec62

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

onds and, most important, around 125 miles on a single charge— without a single drop of Mr. Texaco’s finest consumed in the process.

But don’t go rushing down to your local Rolls-Royce retailer just yet. This 102EX is a one-off, high-tech rolling test bed to help Rolls engineers explore ways to lessen their size 14 carbon footprint and explore alternative powertrain technologies.

It’s also given Rolls-Royce the opportunity to discover whether its customers around the globe would be partial to an electric Phantom. Since its debut last spring, the car has been flown, trucked and trailered to no fewer than 28 international cities—everywhere from Shanghai to Singapore, Paris to Pebble Beach—where customers have eased behind the wheel.

Stop 26 on the 102EX World Tour was Miami, where we got the chance to find out “watt” this plug-in Roller was all about and whether it had the volts to take us “ohm.” (Sorry; couldn’t resist.)

From the outside, there’s little to distinguish the 102EX from the standard Phantom. It has stunning one-off Atlantic Chrome blue paintwork that features minuscule chrome particles in its 16 coats.

You might also notice the gorgeous Lalique-like translucent Spirit of Ecstasy made of polycarbonate. At night, tiny LEDs cause it to glow with an eerie blue hue.

With no key to twist or engine to crank, the 102EX is ready at the prod of the accelerator. And accelerate it does, like a clown being shot out of a circus cannon. From standstill to 30 mph, it’ll shame Ferraris, so explosive is the off-the-line thrust.

But what’s so crazy-spooky about this car is its total absence of noise as you rocket forward. There’s no revving engine, no revving anything. It just lunges forward in dead-of-night silence.

After this initial thrust, performance tails off ever so slightly; the benchmark 0-to-60 mph sprint is covered in a whisker under 8 sec-

onds, compared to 5.7 seconds for the gasoline Phantom. And to conserve energy, top speed is limited to 100 mph instead of 155.

While 102EX has a socket to plug in a charging cable—it’s where the filler cap usually lives—the really cool feature is its induction charging. A receiver pad is mounted underneath the car’s battery pack, and the idea is that a similar-sized transfer pad is mounted on the ground—say, in your home garage or office parking space.

Then you simply drive the Phantom over the pad and park it, and the miracles of induction charging will transfer electrons across the five-inch gap to charge the batteries. No cables, no plugs. With household-appliance 220 volts, a full recharge would take around eight hours.

Rolls-Royce says there are no plans to put the EX into production. That said, some kind of electric powertrain—maybe an advanced gas-electric-hybrid—will likely be in its future. One thing’s for sure: This is certainly an electrifying start to its program. u

Maintain your edge.

More than ever, men are choosing to have plastic surgery to achieve a trimmer waistline, a more balanced nose or a rejuvenated facial appearance.

Get real results in the right hands.

SUITE DREAMS Mark Badgley and James Mischka bring a megadose of glamour to The Breakers’ Imperial Designer Suite. by daphne nikolopoulos | photography by ROBERT NELSON

Mark Badgley and James Mischka, the design duo behind the red-carpet looks of fashion powerhouse Badgley Mischka, love a challenge. The latest one involved three things they are passionate about: interior design, The Breakers and Palm Beach.

When the opportunity arose to design The Breakers’ Imperial Designer Suite, the two enthusiastically accepted. “The Breakers has always been a beacon in Palm Beach for us,” says Mischka. “We have been coming here for years.”

Their strategy was to infuse the suite with the hotel’s original glamour. “We took cues from the amazing lobby and archival pictures of the property,” says Badgley. “The palette was inspired by the coffered ceilings of the grand public spaces of The Breakers; materials and details recall the homes of friends of ours here that date to the 1920s and 1930s.”

Staying true to their aesthetic, they began with historical references but ended with some1 thing thoroughly modern and glamorous. “We are in love with faceted mirrored walls and silk upholstered wall panels, as well as colors that straddle definitions—is it gold? platinum?—for a feeling of old-world glamour that is totally au courant,” says Badgley. “The grosgrain detail on the silk tweed sofa and billowing, ball gown-like draperies is a detail we use on our evening wear; the furniture is covered in couture fabrics adapted for the suite.”

The designers admit it was an intensive project, but are quick to call it a labor of love. “We sourced everything, from the stone floor tiles to the custom furniture to the tissue-box covers,” says Mischka. “It was important to us to use sources that had a Palm Beach connection.” u

They’re especially difficult to define in the broad realm of art collecting, which is based on an individual art lover’s heart’s desires. With the variety of media created and art’s subjective qualities, a must-have piece for one collector could be an eyesore to another.

Auction sales, gallery displays and the industry professionals who study both provide some clues as to what is driving private art collections. And for those who follow trends in art collecting, Palm Beach may be a good place to observe.

“The Palm Beach market is the microcosm of the American market. We have many Europeans who come here, we have many Canadians, we have very sophisticated collectors,” says Lee Ann Lester, coowner of International Fine Art Expositions, which organized ArtPalmBeach.

Contemporary art: “the art of the moment” Antique sancai pottery earth spirits, or ch’i-t’ou, were crafted during the Tang dynasty and used as tomb guardians to accompany and protect the deceased into the afterlife.

When Ralph Hubbard Norton founded the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach in 1941, most of the works that made up the museum’s collection were contemporary pieces. Today, the museum is home to more than 7,000 works across five genres, but the museum’s contemporary roots remains one of the most talked-about areas of collecting, says Charlie Stainback, assistant director of the Norton.

“It’s the art of the moment,” Stainback says. “It’s what’s there. It grabs one’s attention.”

It’s certainly grabbing attention in South Florida.

The Norton currently is showing works by Jenny Saville and Tacita Dean and will host a series of exhibitions by other contemporary female artists over the next five years. Last month, contemporary art fair ArtPalmBeach exhibited at the Palm Beach County Convention Center for the fifteenth year. Miami also is home to two major contemporary art collections, the Rubell Family Collection and the Margulies Collection at The Warehouse.

Many contemporary artists who have been around for decades and worked alongside more well-established artists are “seeing significant revivals in their names,” Lester says. “There’s a whole body of work coming out of that generation now.”

Regionalist George Wardlaw is one, she says. For more than 60 years, the American artist has created abstract paintings and large sculptures that explore spirituality, experimenting with colors and shapes.

His works include series such as canvases of apples and geometric shapes, interpretive paintings of the Ten Commandments and arrangements of wooden or aluminum columns.

Jun Kaneko, who exhibited at ArtPalmBeach, is another, Lester says. Born in Japan in 1942, Kaneko moved to the United States in 1963 to study art. Although his resume includes two-dimensional works and, recently, costume design, it’s his sculptures that are drawing attention now. Kaneko has created collections of large-scale figures, such as six-foot bronze heads and round ceramic pieces called dangos, which is Japanese for “rounded form.”

Stainback has noticed a rising popularity among art

ists like Christian Marclay, who creates sound collages using turntables and records; Robert Gober, who’s largely known for creating sculptures of common objects such as sinks or lifelike human legs; and John Currin, who paints satirical and provocative images.

Many of today’s contemporary works are created by industrial-minded artists who, instead of pursuing careers in architecture or similar veins, are making a name for themselves by blending media like functional art, metalsmith, wood and video—“all means of artistic endeavor,” Lester says.

“Certainly, design as we once knew it is a much broader term, now involving a significant impact of both architects [and] designers who are producing both unique and limited-edition functional pieces of artwork. And those two are going into this vast new collectible realm of works,” she says.

From left to right: Dango, Jun Kaneko; a Chinese porcelain charger created during the K’ang-Hsi Period of the Ch’ing dynasty; The Ark of the Covenant, George Wardlaw, acrylic on aluminum.

Asian art: “collecting beyond the immediate region” In the Far East, China’s booming economy has created an emerging class of wealthy residents and, subsequently, art collectors, who are purchasing works created in their country. “It’s their heritage,” Stainback says.

The trend has crossed the sea. Scott Diament, CEO of the Palm Beach Show Group, which is organizing the Palm Beach Jewelry, Art and Antique Show this month, has observed an increased demand for Chinese antiquities made from materials such as jade, porcelain and ivory. The collectibles range from $1,000 to $63 million—prices that have jumped because of higher bids at auctions in China, he says. palmbeachillustrated.com | FEBRUARY 2012 81

Chinese art is “a category that has a lot of attention to it, and it could be a very good area if you’re starting to collect, if you gravitate toward that type of art,” Diament says.

Many Americans do, Lester says.

“Americans, fortunately, have always had a vast sense of collecting beyond the immediate region they live in and have always had very open minds to good quality works from all different nationalities,” she says.

Antique jewelry: “high art” From left to right: an ancient Chinese Eastern Han Dynasty solid nephrite jade bear; an Antoine Bricteux pendant brooch, representive of art nouveau jewelry; “bow” diamond brooch by Calvin & Cie., representative of art deco jewelry.

In December, an ancient Chinese Eastern Han Dynasty nephrite jade bear sold for $8 million at an auction held by Elite Decorative Arts in Boynton Beach.

Made between 475 B.C. and 220 A.D., the sculpture was the largest-known jade figurine of its time and only the second item the auction house has sold for more than $1 million.

Beyond antiques, Chinese contemporary artists like Liu Bolin are making waves internationally, Diament says. A sculptor and painter, Bolin is largely known for photographing himself painted into his surroundings, often using busy scenes such as city streets, supermarket aisles and construction sites as backdrops. Bolin is barely detectable in each photograph, camouflaging his painted clothes and body into the background.

Like traditional artists, jewelers create unique, handcrafted pieces. And many collectors consider these haute accessories wearable works of art. “Antique jewelry at this point has been elevated to high art,” says Diament, a graduate gemologist who owns six jewelry stores.

Art nouveau and art deco jewelry are especially desirable among collectors today, he says, pointing to a more than 20 percent price increase among such pieces in the last five years. Art nouveau pieces are characterized by curvy lines and nature-inspired shapes; art deco jewelry is more symmetrical and eclectic.

The best-selling pieces, Diament says, are antique collections of today’s well-known names: Cartier, Tiffany and Co., Van Cleef and Arpels, and Buccellati.

Notably, colored diamonds are in high demand, Diament says. In November 2011, the world’s largest known yellow diamond sold for $10.9 million. The pear-shaped Sun-Drop Diamond is 110.3 carats and was discovered in South Africa.

In Palm Beach, jeweler David Morris created Ocean Blue, a 109.1-carat blue and white diamond necklace that costs $57 million. The flawless necklace includes a 22.22-carat pear-shaped drop and a 5.12-carat ovalshaped blue diamond.

“The Palm Beach market does like blue diamonds, pink diamonds, yellow diamonds,” Diament says.

Nineteenth and twentieth century American paintings: “incredible investments” Three years ago, John Surovek appraised an art collector’s Eastman Johnson painting at $275,000. This summer, he gave her an updated figure: between $325,000 and $350,000. But when he offered to buy the painting from her, she declined.

“Interestingly, the only thing I have that’s increased in value is my American painting,” she told him. “So I’d like to keep it.”

The scenario reflects a trend occurring among collectors of nineteenth and twentieth century American paintings: They’re holding onto their artworks so they increase in value.

“Great paintings really do a lot in your home. They really do. But they’ve also become incredible investments,” says Surovek, whose Palm Beach gallery specializes in nineteenth and twentieth century American art.

The tightened grip from sellers has only increased demand from buyers because of the rarity of these works in the market. Surovek says he’s received nearly four times as many calls from collectors looking for paintings by such exceptional artists as Jasper Johns, Andrew Wyeth, Winslow Homer, Mary Cassatt and John Singer Sargent. “It just seems like everybody is looking for the best of what you have,” he says.

The requests for pieces by top-tier names suggest collectors have become more educated and aware of quality, says Clay Surovek, John’s son, who co-owns the gallery. “The days of people not knowing the values and what they have are gone,” he says. “Anything I get in by Edward Hopper or Mark Lewis or even Thomas Hart Benton, those things are generally pretty easy to place.”

In regards to subject matter, most collectors are searching for two kinds of paintings, John says. One is edenic landscapes, which depict nature scenes with no signs of man’s existence. The other is impressionist

paintings of women and children. These subjects are common in nineteenth and twentieth century paintings, John says, but the availability of quality works overall is slim—a trend that may reflect John’s own advice for collecting art.

“Buy the best that you can afford,” he says. “That’s key.”

Despite the trends, collectors shouldn’t buy a particular work of art simply because it was created by a wellknown artist or is popular at the moment, Lester says.

“Expose yourself to as many different forms of art,” she recommends. “Develop your own sense of what you emotionally relate to and that gives you a great deal of joy. Nobody should tell you. And truly make art, just as reading novels, as going to the movies, one of your great cultural experiences that will enrich your life.” u

Clockwise from top left: Estate jewelry featuring colored diamonds, such as this 18-karat gold ring set with natural fancy yellow diamond and 1.13-carat natural fancy pinkish-purple diamond ring, are highly collectible. Nineteenth and twentieth century American art is in high demand now. Collectible pieces include Beech Tree by Andrew Wyeth and Schooners at Anchor by Winslow Homer.

Under a Tuscan Sky

Palm Beachers Bob and Gudrun Cuillo cultivate the good life at their home and wineries in Italy’s Chianti Classico region.

By Daphne Nikolopoulos | Photography by Gerardo Gazia 84

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

palmbeachillustrated.com | FEBRUARY 2012 85

In Casalvento, all Bob and Gudrun could see was potential—and the promise of a way of life they had both yearned for.

O

n a hilltop in Tuscany, above a valley planted with vines and olive trees, sits a thousandyear-old stone house that is the apex of the three paragons of la dolce vita—love, laughter and lemon pasta.

If you don’t know about that third one, let us tell you a story.

It begins in 1997, when Bob Cuillo and Gudrun Dobai took a trip to Tuscany and fell in love. Not with each other—that had already happened that summer—but with a run-down, 370-acre property called Casalvento. They could see past the hospitallike interiors, the low ceilings and the baffling absence of a kitchen. In fact, all they could see was potential—and the promise of a way of life they had both yearned for.

86

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Bob had purchased the place, along with the rights to plant Chianti Classico-region grapes, and had begun planting Sangiovese, Cabernet and Merlot. As their relationship matured, he and Gudrun harvested the grapes and tried their hand at making wine.

They renovated the farmhouse and built a stateof-the-art wine cellar. In 2002, just after they were married, they bought Livernano, the property on the adjacent hilltop. It took more than a few trials, but by 2004 they had a small production of 6,000 bottles— and a bona fide business.

None of this is surprising, considering Bob is a serial entrepreneur with a talent for turning everything he touches to gold. A former New York cop who moved to Florida with nothing but his ambition, he parlayed a stint as a used-car salesman into a major automotive

franchise, with more than 30 dealerships across the country.

Because he had a passion for music (“I wanted to be the next Frank Sinatra but no one would let me,” he says) and performing, he began producing Broadway shows in the early 1980s. He produced or coproduced more than 30 shows, including La Cage Aux Folles, Dream, Ring of Fire and a revival of The Odd Couple. He discovered Menopause: The Musical in a small venue in Orlando and brought it to South Florida, eventually touring it around the world. And as a member of the National Italian American Foundation, he helped produce the Washington, D.C. concert that catapulted a then-unknown Italian tenor named Andrea Bocelli to international fame.

He’s since sold the dealerships but is still involved in show business, now concentrating more on music than theater. The wineries of Livernano and Casalvento, and peripheral businesses including a Tuscan country inn, are his passion. The Cuillos now produce 350,000 bottles, many of which are awardwinning. “We sent in our top wines to Wine Spectator and won more than 90 points for every one,” Bob says. “There is a lot of excitement around the wines. This is one of the fastest-growing businesses in Tuscany at the moment.”

The beautiful thing about breaking bread with the Cuillos is the sheer joy they bring to the table. There is no pretense, no worries and no rush.

The Cuillos love to entertain with home-cooked meals and their own wines. Opposite page, clockwise from top left: Bob tosses his string bean salad; salmon, pesto and whitefish spreads in tart shells; a toast to the good life; prosciutto and melon; enjoying lunch.

A true connoisseur (he’s been a member of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs for 25 years, and was southeast regional bailli for Florida and the Caribbean), Bob has an intuitive understanding of wine, food and hospitality that makes him a natural for this business.

Austrian-born Gudrun, a former stage makeup artist who once worked at the Vienna State Opera, has an eye for beauty and a palate for wine (she does the blending for all their vintages and created the Casalvento rosé sparkling, Dream, using a recipe from the 1920s).

That combination could only mean one thing: If you receive an invitation to dine at the Cuillos’, be it in Tuscany or Palm Beach, accept posthaste.

This is exactly what a group of friends did last summer, when the Cuillos hosted an alfresco lunch in the Casalvento gardens. Gudrun set the scene—a sunny table with sunflowers and grapevines picked from the garden—while Bob cooked.

Bob, by the way, always cooks. It’s a personal passion, and one he does well. “I’ll tell you something,” he says, almost conspiratorially. “I’m pretty good. Ask my mother-in-law.”

“We don’t even go out,” says Gudrun. “My husband’s cooking is known

as the best in Tuscany. We have restaurant owners who come to our house and try to copy his menu.”

For this light summer menu, he made some of his favorite vegetable and pasta dishes. He cooked up a batch of fresh string beans, which he tossed with cherry tomatoes, roasted walnuts, garlic and a raspberry vinaigrette. For his bruschetta, he chopped up just-picked tomatoes ripened under the Tuscan sun. He whipped up a batch of penne with garlic, onion, tomato, basil, pancetta and mozzarella.

Then came the pièce de résistance—the aforementioned lemon pasta, for which he is justly famous. He tossed ribbons of fresh egg pasta with a cream sauce made with Meyer lemons and Parmesan. It’s a simple recipe that is almost impossible to get just right. He, of course, nails it every time.

Most of the ingredients came from the Cuillos’ expansive garden, which is planted with lettuces, tomatoes, all manner of vegetables, herbs, melons, berries, fruit orchards and nuts, among others. Their garden yield is so prolific that Gudrun has taken to canning. She makes jars of tomato sauce, pepperoncino sauce, marmalades from every regional fruit imaginable, chutneys and honey from their own beehives. They even press their own olive oil. (Many of these products are sold at Amici Market in Palm Beach, which they also own.)

“We are completely self-contained,” she says. “We even have three generators, a gas station and a bunker. Livernano and Casalvento can stay afloat for six months [without any outside supplies].”

The beautiful thing about breaking bread with the Cuillos is the sheer joy they bring to the table. Not only is the food prepared with love, but there is no pretense, no worries and no rush. It’s all about pleasure: a home-cooked meal in a gorgeous setting, shared with people who care about the land, their friends and each other.

“This is the best thing that ever happened to us,” says Gudrun. “We are happy, and we are making people happy.” u

Timing is

everything

By Susan Powell Brown

Horologists universally agree watches do more than tell time.

PBI dials back the hands to reveal a few of history’s greatest and most interesting complications— and their famous fans.

“Each watch has a story to tell; it meant something to someone,” says John Reardon, senior vice president, head of watches, Sotheby’s New York. Reardon has authored two books on Patek Philippe watches, and is a regular contributor for hodinkee.com, a watchenthusiasts website named after the Czech word for watch. Reardon’s appreciation of watches began during his youth, where he says he “grew up” (and later interned) at the American Clock & Watch Museum in his hometown of Bristol, Connecticut. Even today, learning something new about a watch—who made it, who wore it, etcetera—continues to fascinate him.

Watch collectors possess a tremendous respect for tradition and detail. In a world of micro-engineers, watches reign as the quintessential mechanical art, with additional functions beyond simple time—such as day and date, chronographs and other mechanisms called complications. While less overt than haute couture, the economy likewise influences haute horology, with changes depicting a reflection of the times. For example, from 2000 to 2008, watch designs got bigger in response to the boom years; after 2008, financial crisis evinced itself in slimmer designs and smaller watches overall.

Although pocket watches date back to the 1500s, it wasn’t until 1851 that they became iconic. While visiting an exhibition of timepieces at the Crystal Palace in London, England’s Queen Victoria discovered Patek Philippe’s keyless pocket watches and purchased two—one for herself, one for Prince Albert. Patek Philippe, already considered the world’s premier watchmaker, was put on the map with Queen Victoria’s purchases, Reardon says. The coup de grâce of celebrity endorsements, prominent people have been following the queen’s lead ever since, including Marie Curie, Joe DiMaggio, Walt Disney, Albert Einstein, Clark Gable, John F. Kennedy, Queen Elizabeth II, Tchaikovsky, Pope Leo XIII—even the Dalai Lama, who received a watch as a gift from President Roosevelt in 1943.

New York banker Henry Graves Jr. enjoyed a friendly competition with automobile magnate James Ward Packard to own the watch with the greatest number of complications. Both men commissioned several Patek Philippe watches in the early 1900s. The Henry Graves Supercomplication, completed in 1933, had 24 complications (the most of any watch until Patek Philippe’s Calibre 89 in 1989 with 33 complica-

tions). Sotheby’s sold the Graves Supercomplication at auction in Geneva to an anonymous bidder in 1999 for more than $11 million—the highest price ever paid for a watch.

According to Sam Hines, Christie’s New York senior vice president and head of the watches department, Packard was one of the godfathers of watch collecting, and would request unique examples be custom-manufactured exclusively for him. Packard had more than 20 watches in his collection, including a Patek Philippe minute repeater in its original box with the original certificate, and a Vacheron Constantin 20-karat gold minute repeater chronograph clockwatch in a custom-fitted wood box with handwritten operating instructions. Both were very ornate, and considered exceptional watches with significant value and historical importance. The watches sold in June 2011 at Christie’s New York auction for $986,500 and more than $1.7 million, respectively.

Ralph Teetor, a blind but prolific inventor in the automotive industry, purchased Patek Philippe’s minute repeater in 1925, which gonged audibly and allowed Teetor to determine the time.

(Teetor was all about practicality, and invented cruise control out of frustration with his lawyer, who had an annoying habit of accelerating when he was talking and decelerating when he wasn’t— a practice that nauseated Teetor.) His daughter presented her father’s watch with its highly prized complications to the Foundation for the Blind; it sold at auction for $800,000.

Alexander Eblen, director of Leslie Hindman Auctioneers’ fine jewelry and timepieces department, chronicles watches of a few famous Americans, beginning with Charles Lindbergh, a trailblazer in the early days of branding.

In 1926, Bulova gifted Lindbergh with a solid gold watch to attach the Bulova name to Lindbergh’s—not to mention to the world of aviation

Far left, top and bottom: Bulova Ad featuring Charles Lindbergh, and his Lone Eagle watch in presentation box.

Left and Above: Vacheron Constantin 20-karat gold clockwatch created for James WARD PACKARD IN 1918.

Time Today Alexander Eblen, director of Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Fine Jewelry and Timepieces, says the auction world serves as a collection place for anything of value, and watches are no excep-

and exploration. Later, Lindbergh consulted with Swiss watchmaker Longines for development and production of an Hour Angle watch, paramount for aviators at that time to facilitate setting a course. In a similar spirit, Breitling recently joined forces with actor/aviator John Travolta. Steve McQueen and his famed machismo took TAG Heuer’s Monaco Calibre 12 chronograph from the box office to the red carpet in Le Mans. The Monaco became a status symbol overnight, more for look than function, Eblen says. Nonetheless, off-screen McQueen wore the Rolex Explorer II. “No brand is more synonymous with watches than Rolex,” Eblen says. After Joanne Woodward gave Paul Newman a Rolex Daytona in 1972, he wore Rolex watches for the rest of his life. The Rolex Datejust is billionaire Warren Buffett’s watch of choice; Buffett has been wearing the same watch for more than 20 years.

The latest watch to align itself with a famous figure? The Jorg Gray 6500 chronograph—from obscurity to the Oval Office, the previously unknown watch brand donned by President Barack Obama now touts itself as “the President’s watch.”

Jorg Gray watch sales have been rising in the polls ever since. u

tion. Having gone from necessity to accessory, “watches are absolutely a statement of personal fashion,” says Eblen, noting that of all jewelry categories, men regularly wear watches.

Yet beyond fashion sense, recent economic changes have resulted in the extraordinarily wealthy making auction purchases as an alternative to traditional investing. Eblen says current purchasers possess a decided awareness of having purchased a treasure, or, at a minimum, a convertible asset. Factors influencing desirability and price of watches include rarity, condition, complications, use of precious metals and freshness to the market.

“Technology has made the world smaller, which has really helped the watch market,” says Sam Hines, Christie’s New York senior vice president, head of the Watches Department. “Watches themselves are very technical things, so they go hand-in-hand with technology,” he adds. The result is increased market knowledge and escalating auction prices. Watch sales at Christie’s, which holds eight sales each year dedicated exclusively to timepieces, soared from $18 million in 2003 to $92 million in 2010.

Fair Warming On chilly Florida nights, sip classic winter cocktails by the outdoor fireplace. By Mark Spivak

If you were shoveling snow at this moment, you might balk at the notion that it’s cold in Florida. Everything is relative, of course, and the winter months here can be downright chilly at times—not cold enough to go ice-fishing, but brisk enough to rationalize indulging in our favorite winter cocktails. Some classics to warm up your evening: MANHATTAN: The legend, likely untrue, is that it was invented at New York’s Manhattan Club in the 1870s at a dinner for politician Samuel Tilden, at the request of Jennie Jerome (otherwise known as Lady Randolph Churchill, Winston’s mother).

Ramos Gin Fizz

The type of whiskey also is a matter of controversy. Lifelong New Yorkers will insist that the drink be made with rye; many people believe that bourbon or Canadian whiskey are the only choices. As with other cocktails of this type, feel free to experiment with the vermouth until you reach a proportion that is correct for you.

WHISKEY SOUR: There’s some evidence that the whiskey sour, pisco sour and similar drinks all had a common ancestor, namely punch, while others claim it originated in Wisconsin. Either way, the key is not to use mix. The difference between a

drink concocted from scratch and one made from sour mix is similar to the difference between fresh-brewed coffee and instant.

OLD FASHIONED: Most cocktail historians date the origins to the Pendennis Club in Louisville during the 1880s. As with the Manhattan, there is serious disagreement about the type of whiskey to use. Purists demand bourbon, but there are plenty of recipes using Scotch, Canadian or Tennessee whiskey.

BRANDY ALEXANDER: Nothing says winter better than a rich cream drink. The original Alexander called for gin; this ver-

Dr. K. Adam Lee, Medical Director of JMC’s Thoracic Surgery & Lung Center

Changing the Future of Lung Surgery – And The Doctor Who’s Leading The Way. Introducing Dr. K. Adam Lee, Medical Director of Jupiter Medical Center’s New Thoracic Surgery and Lung Center

Dr. K. Adam Lee is one of the nation’s leading experts and pioneers in minimally-invasive robotic surgery for lung cancer. Dr. Lee was the first lung surgeon in Florida to perform robotic assisted thoracic surgery, and has since performed over 300. He continues to lead the way in bringing the latest surgical techniques to our area.

And that changes everything.

Traditional thoracic surgery is very invasive and traumatic - typically opening the chest - resulting in a long, painful recovery.

But with robotic surgery, most thoracic surgeries can be performed through less than 2-inch incisions.

It’s highly accurate, with less blood loss, less pain, less chance for infection, and a much faster recovery.

The new Thoracic Surgery and Lung Center is the only comprehensive program in Palm Beach and Martin counties dedicated to prevention, early detection, treatment, and care of patients with lung cancer and other diseases of the chest and lung.

Indeed. It’s a new day for lung surgery - and a better one, too.

To learn more about our Comprehensive Thoracic Surgery & Lung Center and the services we provide, call Dawn Bitgood at (561) 263-3604 or visit jupitermed.com/lung.

sion, sometimes referred to as the Alexander Cocktail No. 2, was supposedly invented for the 1922 wedding of England’s Princess Mary to Viscount Lascelles.

NEGRONI: This classic aperitivo consists of equal parts gin, sweet vermouth and bitters (generally Campari). It was supposedly invented in 1919 when Count Camillo Negroni asked a bartender in Florence to strengthen his favorite cocktail, the Americano, by adding gin in place of club soda.

STINGER: This is one of the most famous examples of a duo cocktail (a combination of a spirit and a liqueur). Simply combine in a proportion of three parts brandy to one part crème de menthe; for a Green Harvest, use green crème de menthe in place of white.

RAMOS GIN FIZZ: Also known as a New Orleans fizz, this is the quintessential Mardi Gras cocktail, made with gin, lemon juice, sugar and soda, plus egg white, or-

ange-flower water and cream or milk. The trick is to shake until your wrist hurts, creating the trademark white froth on top.

SAZERAC: One of the oldest American cocktails and the official drink of New Orleans, the Sazerac combines rye whiskey, absinthe and Peychaud’s Bitters. It is complex to make and not for the faint of heart, but will warm you up faster than just about anything else.

HOT BUTTERED RUM: Put another log on the fire and start skewering those marshmallows—this is the mother of all toddies.

You may not have a red-hot poker to plunge

into it on a cold night, as some recipes suggest, but it’s still enormously satisfying.

IRISH COFFEE: Everybody’s Irish when it’s cold. You don’t need to be a mixologist for this one: Pour hot coffee into a mug, stir in Irish whiskey and sugar, and float cream on top. Most versions call for whipped cream because it floats easily, but purists use fresh, heavy cream. u

BUCCAN- nalia The eclectic menu of this Palm Beach hotspot features small plates with big flavor.

By Mark Spivak

Japanese hamachi tiradito

Buccan was the most eagerly anticipated local restaurant of 2011. Once Clay Conley announced that he was leaving Miami’s Mandarin Oriental and heading for Palm Beach, there was a buzz surrounding the project. Slightly more than one year later, that buzz is even more palpable: Step inside this restaurant and you will feel an excitement normally found only in Manhattan or San Francisco.

The space is large, airy and tropical. You enter Buccan through the bar, which is generally packed, and walk past the communal table into the main dining area. The ceilings are high, and numerous windows bathe the room in natural light. The kitchen is open, and copper-topped tables are placed close together, amplifying the excitement with boisterousness and shared conversation.

Conley’s culinary interests are far-flung and eclectic, blending touches of South America, the Caribbean and Asia with innovative American cuisine (a buccan is a type of grill common to the islands). His 116 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

flavors are pure and assertive, and each element of a dish stands out crisply. His seasonally changing menu places emphasis on small plates, and diners are encouraged to experiment and share.

Begin with pinchos (Basque for tapas) such as marinated white anchovies ($4.50), with a clean, briny taste that will transport you back to Spain, or a petite Maine lobster roll ($7.50), filled with a refreshing lobster salad that is a nice blend of tail and claw meat.

Among the raw items, the hamachi sashimi ($14) is absolutely pristine, the type of dish a top sushi bar would be proud to serve. The heat of Peruvian chilis and the crunchiness of thinly sliced lotus root nicely contrast the texture of the rich, buttery fish. Under the category of Crispy, rock shrimp tempura ($14) are beautifully battered and fried, bathed in a spicy aioli.

Some interesting Italian dishes creep into this menu. A half-order of linguine alla vongole ($15) is bright and zesty, the perfectly cooked pasta garnished

palate v taste Wood-grilled shrimp “scampi” with arugula and garlic toast

with tomatoes, slices of garlic, chilis and sweet, fresh clams—spicy and satisfying.

The mushroom pizza ($15) is a celebration of umami, strewn with an assortment of wild and domestic mushrooms, topped with melted Gruyere cheese and drizzled with black truffle vinaigrette.

After this profusion of offerings, the Large Plates are almost anticlimactic. Hangar steak ($24) is remarkably tender for a rustic cut of meat; roasted and sliced, it is placed on a bed of asparagus and topped with crumbled Roquefort, which melts into the dish. Huge, head-on shrimp known as U7s ($10 per piece) are nicely undercooked, smothered in a creamy garlic sauce, served atop a bed of arugula and slices of grilled bread.

The wine list runs to slightly more than 100 selections and is just as carefully crafted as the menu or the decor. Several dozen

wines by the glass are interesting as well, notably Vincent Girardin Pouilly-Fuissé ($17) and Far Niente Chardonnay ($20).

There is a short list of designer cocktails and a crew of professional bartenders ready to make you anything your heart desires. The servers are young, enthusiastic and eager to please and will gladly offer recommendations to steer you through the experience.

Buccan is one of the most interesting restaurants to open in this area for quite some time, and space is at a premium despite the size of the room. One way to beat the crowds is to come early Monday through Friday (4 p.m.-7 p.m.) and indulge in one of the best happy hours in town. u

palate v dining out Viva la Trattoria

A New Breed of Cat

DIANA RAMIREZ

Palm Beach icon The Leopard Restaurant and Lounge has gotten a sleek, contemporary makeover, featuring new window treatments, black walls, shiny banquette seating and plenty of mirrors. The design is by Bea Tollman, founder and president of Red Carnation Hotels, and Brian Brennan, projects director for building and design. Of course, the infamous red ceiling, painted by Lino Mario back in the day, is still intact and contrasts beautifully with the new, dark interiors.

Along with the new look, the lounge also is welcoming new entertainment, with live music and dancing every night of the week.

Musical stylings include Motown (Thursdays from 8 p.m. to midnight), jazz (Mondays from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. and Fridays from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.) and top 40 and contemporary (Fridays from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.).

Executive Chef Gerard Coughlin will be rolling out new menus as well.

It goes to show that a leopard can change its spots and become even more fabulous. (561-659-5800, chesterfieldpb.com)

The Roman trattoria is a beautiful thing. It is where everyone— from locals to casual tourists— gathers to eat, drink and love life.

The concept is so popular that neighborhoods of the ancient city are lined with trattorias serving home-cooked comfort food, made with fresh seasonal ingredients, in a low-key, everybody-knows-yourname atmosphere.

Why not do as the Romans do, even on this side of the Tiber? For a taste of authentic Roman food, we head straight for D’Angelo Trattoria in Delray Beach.

The newest restaurant by Chef Angelo Elia (of Casa D’Angelo fame) has already gathered a loyal following with its true-to-its-roots fare and casual, contemporary ambience.

A converted 1920s cottage off Atlantic Avenue, the place is full of character. If there is a table available in the small courtyard, snap it up. It’s quiet, private, even romantic—perfect on a cool evening.

Meat lovers will be in heaven here. Roasted veal bone marrow, wild boar ragoût over bucatini, braised oxtail, pan-fried meatballs and roasted piglet are among the hearty dishes offered on the regular menu. Not to say there isn’t lighter fare—the locally made burrata over fava beans is stellar, as is the roasted beet and Italian tuna salad. But the stars of the menu are definitely the traditional meat dishes, which are exceptional.

Elia’s new place is a winner. We predict it will be as popular as its Roman counterparts. (561-330-1237)

rooms v Seaside Elegance When businessman Mandell Ourisman and his wife, Mary Ourisman, U.S. ambassador to Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean, decided to create a winter retreat in Palm Beach, they approached William R. Eubanks Interior Design Inc. With ocean views throughout, designers Eubanks and D. Mitchell Brown chose a soft palette of buttery yellow and soft blue to carry the theme of the sun and water into the interior design. By layering colors, textures and time periods, the living room takes on a rich and timeless quality. The wall is grounded by a J. Robert Scott sofa upholstered in silk, decked with custom pillows, and a commanding landscape by established French artist Roger Muhl. The Chinese coffee table from St. Denis Designs has a chinoiserie black lacquer finish, and various accent pieces of nineteenth-century blue and white Chinese export porcelain continue the color story throughout the house.

Thanks to the dedicated team at the Bethesda Orthopaedic Institute, I received state-of-the-art care that had me out of bed just 6 hours after surgery. With wonderful surgeons, specialty trained orthopaedic nurses, a comprehensive therapy program and all private rooms, Bethesda’s team gave me everything I needed to reclaim my life.

ALL Dahled Up There’s no glamour in Hollywood today, a former star of the 1940s and ’50s tells PBI. “Everybody’s in jeans, torn and otherwise. Their hair goes unkempt,” says Arlene Dahl, who had leading roles in such movies as My Wild Irish Rose, Woman’s World and Slightly Scarlet.

Back then, “we used to wear our own designer clothes and our own jewelry and furs, and now everything is borrowed,” she says. “I guess [actors today] must feel like Cinderella, because they have to return it.”

The part-time West Palm Beach resident is working on a book titled Dinner at Elsie’s, in which she dishes stories from her first years in Hollywood, including the celebrity-filled dinner parties hosted by Sir Charles Mendl and Elsie DeWolfe, who she says “adopted” her when she moved to Hollywood from Minneapolis.

Dahl has starred in 30 movies, acted in 19 plays and has written 13 books on astrology, a passion she discovered her second week living in California. Yet her “best productions” are her children, she says, including son Lorenzo Lamas, an actor best known for starring in the 1980s nighttime soap opera Falcon Crest.

Fans have a chance to see Dahl in person when she comes to the Kravis Center for a luncheon February 20. Tickets cost $75.

Don’t fool yourself “BABY BOOMERS”…

APPEARANCE STILL MATTERS!

By Dr. Harold Bafitis

STATISTICS DON’T LIE: The “Baby Boomer” generation, those born 1946-64, is now maturing into their golden and truly glory years. The success of this incredible generation spans nearly every field from music, art, biology, physics, even psychology – these perpetually young people are living longer, working longer, and staying active longer. They have created the phrases “60 is the new 40” and “70 is the new 50”, and it suits them!

Even those born before 1946 are undergoing more cosmetic enhancement procedures than ever before.

THE QUESTIONS FOR OUR TIMES: How do I look better but not go under the knife? How do I avoid spending my entire retirement on surgery? Many false claims and broken promises have been made towards this desire. Now there is an answer to both questions.

WHAT IS AVAILABLE THAT WORKS? Ultherapy®: It is a new non-surgical face lifting treatment. It is the only FDA approved modality for both skin lifting and skin tightening.

Dr. Bafitis currently leads national training seminars for physicians and staff on this ulthera® technology.

HOW DOES ULTHERAPY® TIGHTEN FACIAL SKIN WITHOUT ANESTHESIA OR SURGERY? Dr. Bafitis has utilized Ultherapy® treatment on patients without any downtime, and with only one treatment to tighten cheek/neck and jowls, as well as improve the brow and temples. This technology directs safe “ultrasound” energy to the deep dermis to improve tone, and more significantly, to the lining of the musculature that creates a lifting much like a facelift without surgery, downtime, or anesthesia!

The results are apparent almost immediately but take 3 months to “mature” and improve; lasting 18-24 months, in most cases.
