J e w e l l e r s . First off, let me say how excited

I am about the addition of the Canadian Ice™ Diamond brand in our stores. For the launch, I accompanied Canadian Ice™ Diamond Ambassador and Miss Universe (2005 ), Natalie Glebova, on a cross-Canada tour for a series of meet-and-greet sessions with our associates and customers. I am sure some of you were there.

The tour was very well received. I know that Natalie really enjoyed getting out to meet everyone and

learning more about Ben Moss Jewellers, as we are the newest member of an elite group of international retailers who represent the Canadian Ice™ Diamond brand.

We started the tour in Toronto at the Toronto International Film Festival. I personally made a special

presentation to Olympic Gold Medalist Rosie MacLennan of a Canadian Ice™ pendant and Gino Devuono, Movado V.P. of Sales, presented her with a Movado Gold watch. Natalie also gave away a Canadian Ice™ floating diamond pendant on Breakfast Television in Toronto.

Natalie and I also met with customers and staff at Fairview Mall and Sherway Gardens stores in Toronto.

Directly after a live appearance and giveaway on Breakfast Television, Natalie and I boarded a plane to start the Western Canadian leg of the cross-Canada tour with a stop in Winnipeg, which included appearances at our Polo Park store and a visit with our head office associates.

There were also meet and greets at Chinook Centre (Calgary), Bower Place (Red Deer), West Edmonton

Mall (Edmonton), Metropolis at Metrotown (Burnaby) and finally Richmond Centre (Richmond).

I would like to personally invite all our customers to stop by your local Ben Moss, or visit us online at

benmoss.com, to see our gorgeous collection of Canadian Ice™ Diamond rings, pendants and earrings.

Frank Biskupek believes that patience is what defines both Scotch whisky and those who enjoy it.

“You have to wait to make your money in life; to find your place in life,” he says. “If you want it all up front, boy are you going to be disappointed when you have it all. You have to experience life in order to know the good parts. If you haven’t had bad parts, how are you going to know what the good parts are?”

Patience, among other qualities, is the main ingredient that goes

into making Scotch a luxury item. Biskupek explains: “The idea of

s p i r i t s __ 3 0

Scotch whisky is that it must sit a minimum of three years in a cask,”

The fact that this beverage waits patiently in a fragrant cask for its debut, since most single malts are

12, 15, 16 or 18 years old, says something about the consumer of this fine spirit.

There is a certain class associated with something that you have to wait for and something that is

only available from one source in the world. Scotland is the main producer of Scotch whisky in the world, and the Scottish are extremely proud of it.

Scotch whisky, “is only done in Scotland, because single malts can only be produced in Scotland,”

says Biskupek. “The great climate, the available barley and the great water for whisky,” are the simple

ingredients that contribute to the hearty taste of this fine spirit.

• “Don’t add anything more than a drop of water or a piece of ice.” Especially not pop.

• Don’t expect it to age with time. “Whisky is not like wine, so it won’t mature in the bottle. It only matures in the cask.”

• Don’t fear the finish. “The tradition of age is where you get that great, long finish.”

• Savour the tradition — a tradition that was first recorded in 1494, and which is most enjoyable as a social experience.

“With the single malt, the whole idea is to sip it, identify what it is you get from it, then talk about it.”

• “With whisky, after it’s been bottled and then opened, you won’t lose [or gain] anything when you put it into a decanter. Whether it’s been put into a glass decanter or stays in the bottle, it tastes the same.”

• Scotch whisky lasts forever. “You can keep your whisky as long as you want. As long as you don’t put it near a radiator or fire. And if your granddad likes to drink it, lock it away!”

The purity of the simple ingredients that go into distilling a bottle of single malt whisky are very similar to the simple details that colour a life of elegance and splendour that no longer costs what it used to. Enjoyed in small quantities at a time, it is the crème de la crème of the drinking culture, and has deeply rooted tradition as its calling card.

“One of the things we must protect is the tradition of

single malt whisky. It’s so much a part of the culture,” Biskupek remarks. It is almost as though Scotch whisky has a character of its own; one with a strong legacy, one that demands respect and hard work; a highly nationalistic, proud and enduring custom. And when done right, just like Christmas morning or a cozy arm chair by a crackling fire, even a promotion or a sports car, this long-standing tradition can bring a great sense of accomplishment and an unrivalled life experience, especially when shared with others.

Frank Biskupek, brand ambassador of “The Glenlivet”

Single Malt at Pernod Ricard, was born in Edinburgh, Scotland and moved to Canada in 1981. An LCBO alumnus, he is a prominent figure in the Scottish community in and around Toronto, Ontario and loves to share his passion for and commitment to the culture and ceremony of Scotch whisky. ****

BACK IN CANADA AS DIAMOND AMBAS SADOR OF CANADIAN ICE DIAMONDS AND BEN MOS S

DA R L I N G P R O F I L E __ 3 6

JEWELLERS

Natalie Glebova is not someone easily missed in a crowd.

At a chic Yorkville eatery in downtown Toronto, the 5-foot-11, raven-haired beauty queen is instantly

noticeable, statuesque, chatting away with a friend at one of the patio tables.

It is Sunday, a rare day off for Glebova. She is back in Canada from Thailand, where she currently resides,

to represent Canadian Ice Diamonds and Ben Moss Jewellers.

She signed an international, multi-year contract to be the Diamond Ambassador and the face of Canadi-

an Ice Diamonds back in February 2012, with the official announcement at the Bangkok Gems and Jewelry Fair in Thailand. Ben Moss Jewellers had already been carrying Passionate Heart by Canadian Ice Diamonds

benmoss.com

with great success, so the business relationship already was in place. However after meeting with Glebova

Glebova_re.indd 36

and Canadian Ice in Las Vegas this past spring, and getting a sense of the world vision the company relationship was going in, Ben Moss Jewellers got more involved by expanding to the full Canadian Ice Diamonds product line.

P R O F I L E __ 3 8

“My decision to represent Canadian Ice Diamonds came quite easily for me once I did my research on the brand,” Glebova says, adding that being a Canadian on the world stage and in a position to promote a Canadian product has brought her a great sense of pride.

“Canadian Ice Diamonds are individually laser engraved, so the traceability aspect appealed to me,” says

Glebova. “And of course the fact that they are Canadian.”

On this day, Glebova is wearing a pair of halo earrings and the Floating Diamond Pendant, a signature

piece from Canadian Ice Diamonds, which adds a touch of grace and femininity to complete her look.

“Their collections are exactly my taste,” she says. “They’re very delicate, elegant, timeless, simple - not

over the top. I like that.

“And I would say my favourite is the Floating Diamond. It’s absolutely gorgeous and the setting is done so

that you cannot see it. It actually looks like it’s a floating diamond, a true work of art”.

As a humanitarian and environmentalist, representing Canadian Ice Diamonds and Ben Moss Jewellers

seemed like the perfect fit for Glebova. She says she’s more than just the face of the brand, and that her first duty as the Canadian Ice Diamonds ambassador was to learn more about the process of diamond cutting and setting. She was able to witness these fascinating production and manufacturing processes on a past tour Canadian ice’s world facilities.

“The most impressive part was seeing how each diamond is individually engraved with a laser to ensure

authenticity and to be able to track every diamond back to where it came from,” she says.

Since signing on with the diamond producer,

Glebova has been promoting the brand by visiting various world major retail partners around the globe. Just this past June, she was at Goldsmiths, a renowned UK jeweller that had signed on to distribute Canadian Ice Diamonds.

Glebova was thrilled to see her campaign

posters displayed throughout Goldsmiths’ front window store displays as the lead diamond brand in the United Kingdom.

“To see our Canadian Ice Diamonds be so

highly sought after in a world class market like the UK, felt like another crowning moment, for myself and the brand,” she says.

In September, the brand was launched at Ben

Moss Jewellers, a 102-year old, leading retail chain in Canada. Glebova embarked on the Canadian leg with a cross-country tour with Canadian Ice Diamonds to promote the brand at live events at various Ben Moss Jewellers locations in Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary, Red Deer, Edmonton

world stage and made it famous.”

Having emigrated to Canada when she was > just a little

girl, Glebova propelled onto the world stage as a beauty and fashion icon, which enabled her to also highlight her other passion as an animal rights advocate.

In terms of her style, Glebova says that she hopes to be

perceived as someone that’s humble and that other people can easily relate to.

“I don’t always go for just big brand names; I just go for whatever is comfortable to me,” she says. “I choose things that are good quality and fit me well or reflects my lifestyle, such as Canadian Ice.”

Although she’s wearing a simple tee with a fitted pair of

jeans and cropped jacket on the day of the Ever interview, Glebova is anything but plain.

“I prefer to be more or less casual because I don’t like to

spend a lot of time getting all dolled up,” she confesses. “I would rather spend that time going to the gym or making sure I ate well and cooked something healthy for myself.”

to recognize Olympic gold medallist Rosie MacLennan

Mall-goers and passersby looked on with curiosity when both Miss Universe 2005 and Canada’s sole Olympic gold medal-winning athlete arrived at the same time at the Ben Moss Jewellers location at Sherway Gardens in Mississauga.

Crowd interest really jumped the moment Rosie MacLennan – who won

Canada’s lone gold medal in London, in August, in the trampoline event – took out the gold medal.

“It’s great to see people supporting Olympic athletes,” said MacLennan.

That’s actually a message she has been delivering to many young

Canadians since arriving home. At the Ben Moss event, Movado Group of Canada presented her with a special gold watch.

“We wanted to give her our version of a gold medal,” is how Gino DeVuono, Vice President of Sales for Movado, described it.

Brent Trepel, President and CEO of Ben Moss Jewellers,

presented a Canadian Ice pendant to MacLennan.

“For Olympians, five per cent of the journey is the period up to

the Games,” MacLennan said. “Ninety five per cent is the joy, pain, sorrow, sweat, all of it, during the years beforehand.

When Ben Moss hung the first shingle to his eponymous store on Manitoba’s Main Street in 1910, it’s likely the newly landed Romanian had no idea of the success that lay ahead for the national chain of stores that still bear his name today.

In those early days, jewellery wasn’t even the main offering. Dishware, cutlery

and candleholders were the big sellers, says Brent Trepel, president and CEO of Ben Moss Jewellers.

In 1959, Trepel’s late father, Sid, took over the business and elevated the chain to

new heights, introducing the brand into malls and the rest of the Prairie provinces.

Ben Moss_re.indd 46

While knives and forks are the commodity of yesteryear, the Ben Moss brand

is now renowned for its shimmering selection of pendants, bracelets, earring and

diamond jewellery. And since taking over the business in 1986, Brent Trepel has built up the company’s retail platform to include 63 stores coast-to-coast.

Catering to the Canadian market and its consumers is what Ben Moss does best.

It is strategic with its growth, however impeccable timing and the ability to seize opportunities has allowed the company to thrive in the competitive jewellery market.

“We are very excited about the growth and strength of the Canadian market,”

Brent Trepel says. “For the most part, our growth has really been very controlled and very much based on timing and opportunity. We don’t start every year saying we’re going to open three stores; we really take a look at where opportunities are.”

Ben Moss’s national pride rings through in the importance it places on Canadian

diamonds and its Canadian heritage.

“We do a large amount of business in Canadian diamonds,” Trepel says. “We

feel that it’s a good fit for our brand and strategy, given that we are 100 per cent Canadian-owned and we operate solely in the Canadian market.”

The company has found that, regardless of the slightly higher price, consumers

tend to prefer Canadian diamonds to their non-Canadian counterparts.

The Canadian diamond has the only distinction in the world to be guaranteed

conflict-free.

“There is benefit [to buying a Canadian diamond] because there seems to be that

sense of pride when you are buying something that is going to last you a lifetime, > knowing that you might be paying a small premium for something that is Cana-

dian, from a Canadian company,” Trepel says.

The company’s Canadian calling card comes in handy when competing

against other jewellers for top of mind presence.

“At the national level, most of the larger competitors are not Canadian, and

their head offices are in other countries,” he says.

Ben Moss also has a line called Passionate Heart ™. These diamonds are cut

by only the world’s best diamond artisans. Each diamond is cut by hand to make perfect hearts and a distinctive eight-sided, fireburst pattern.

Trepel says that Ben Moss offers competitive prices for its pieces.

“We really try to offer very competitive prices for diamonds, and that we have

locations across the country to service customers, lifetime warranties etc.”

In addition to their extensive diamond collection, the company also carries

an array of fine jewellery and watches, and is always up on the latest trends. Ben Moss’s jewellery is diverse, featuring a variety of different stones, metals and styles, and Trepel says that they are always on the lookout for what will resonate Bl ack and white mother- of - pe arl and diamond neckl ace with chain in 10k w h ite go l d.

monds. We’re finding the look is very big,” Trepel notes. “We see a lot of emphasis on coloured diamonds…cabochon seems to be very strong. We see a lot happening in pearls.”

In addition to the popularity of this year’s trendiest styles, there is a grow-

ing demand for custom-made pieces. With the future in mind, Trepel foresees his clients requesting, “unique pieces that speak to their personality. Also the ability to customize jewellery is an increasing trend we see with our clients.”

With the price of gold at its highest, Ben Moss is one of the jewellers that has

been offering more cost-effective pieces, using a combination of different metals such as sterling silver jewellery, or silver fused with gold. Trepel also emphasizes the popularity of rose gold.

Rose gold has been showing up more and more in status pieces from watches to

engagement rings, necklaces and more. While it’s a metal that’s decidedly feminine, it can also bridge the gap between white and yellow gold, particularly when all three are worn together. Pure gold is 24 karats; at 99 per cent or more gold, it’s too soft to use on its own. Copper is used as a strengthening alloy and gives rose gold its distinct pink tinge. >

Trepel says that even though silver has a better price point, white and yel-

low gold are still best sellers. However, rose gold owes its staying power to the women who eschew traditional metals such as platinum or yellow gold and opt for something a little more unconventional.

What’s also unconventional is how Ben Moss has managed to increase its

growth and reach at a time when the ebbs and flow of the industry are causing many other jewellers to close their doors. Trepel cites the company’s success on a willingness to take risks and use technology and social media to build its customer base.

With its state-of-the-art online store, Ben Moss has ushered in the 21st cen-

tury with both strength and style. The website is a far cry from the advertising and marketing of Trepel’s grandfather’s age, where the store relied on wordof-mouth to grow the business. The company now engages with customers via email, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

To commemorate the company’s 100th birthday, Ben Moss launched a mas-

sive multimedia campaign that included giving away $100,000 in prizes. The customer response was overwhelming, with over 100,000 entries.

Trepel believes technology also plays a much bigger role in customers’ buying

decisions. And although online sales represent a small percentage of its overall revenue, that number is on the increase.

Trepel has no doubt that Ben Moss’s contributions to the industry will con-

tinue to grow. The company now has 63 stores and over 600 employees.

“We’re optimistic about the next few years,” he says. “We cater to customers

who are looking for a quality piece of jewellery that is…backed by a solid company that will stand behind the merchandise it sells.” ****

As soon as the Frederique Constant watch was presented, Glen Baxter started to loosen up.

As the subject of a photo shoot, you wouldn’t assume that to

be the case. Baxter has spent twenty years covering the fashion industry, next to some of the top photographers of the day, as

12-10-11 3:45 PM

a television journalist. He is currently a host of CTV’s In Fashion and a reporter for Fashion Television Channel.

We are in the living room at his stylish condo in Toronto’s tony King West neighbourhood.

Baxter is dressed impeccably. That’s his brand – he is seemingly a fixture on various “Best Dressed” lists. For the past 15 years Baxter has been dressed head to toe exclusively in the red label HUGO by Hugo Boss.

“I have covered many photo shoots over the years,” he says. “We’d go on set and interview

photographers, models, creative directors, stylists, and we’d do a whole behind-the-scenes segment. Being in front of the lens is much harder for me. I have so much respect for models.

People think this is easy, but it’s not.”

Baxter is asked to loosen his tie, and open his shirt a bit, and that’s when the fun starts.

Next he’s unbuttoning the sleeves of his dress shirt, rolling it up, showing off the watch. Baxter doesn’t do “crazy”; this is as wacky as it will get.

“Most people, when they see a picture of themselves, they cringe,” he says. “I am like most people that way.

I cringe a lot.”

Baxter says he owns a few high-end watches. He’s not into owning a lot, just a few special ones. A man should own the right ones, for the right occasions, he says.

“I have a couple of everyday watches, with metallic bands,” he says. “And I have a dressier

watch that I like to wear with a nice suit.”

He believes it is important for men to really think about the watch they choose to comple-

ment a particular look.

“As guys we don’t have too many options as far as fashion accessories go, so watches are key,” he says. “They must complement the look, not ruin it.”

Baxter says he doesn’t dress informally that much.

“I have male friends who have told me they’ve given up,” he says, laughing. “I have a life-

style where I can enjoy the clothes, and the watches, and go out in a great city with friends, and enjoy the lifestyle. It’s all about feeling good about yourself.”

An accomplished photographer, Baxter has traveled extensively throughout Asia, Africa

and the Middle East. His photos have been displayed in solo exhibitions sponsored by Hugo Boss, with 100 per cent of the proceeds benefitting various charities, most recently Right To Play (www.RightToPlay.com). ****

Carrick focusing more on style

One can see it when he models the TW Steel watch at a fashion photo

shoot of which he is the subject.

“I just like classic kinds of pieces,” he says.

This year, Carrick grabbed one of four spots in the Toronto Interna-

tional Film Festival Rising Star program, an initiative that shines the spotlight on up-and-coming Canadian talent.

“I think it’s a great honour,” he says. “And I think I am quite comfortably the least famous of the four rising stars.”

Carrick just wrapped up filming the lead role in Molly Maxwell, his first feature film. He is also set to star alongside Jeremy Irons in the acclaimed historical television series, The Borgias.

With his natural good looks and laid-back temperament, Carrick

should have no problem schmoozing with the crème de la crème at TIFF or any other major film festivals. And given that the film festivals are a hotbed of style, fashion will be more of a priority for him looking ahead, as his career grows. >

The trendy Gotstyle boutique in downtown Toronto is the perfect set-

ting for the rising star to prep for red carpet outings. Upon arrival, Carrick paired up with Gotstyle’s resident fashion guru, Maxim Efimov, and the two collaborated on a few gala-worthy looks.

“I think, like most actors, I definitely had a stage where I was super into James Dean, Marlon Brando and Montgomery Cliff,” says Carrick. “I really like that older kind of time – like Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson’s looks in the sixties.”

That clearly translates into his final suit selection, an all-navy ensem-

ble of a button-up shirt, dress pants and jacket that brings out his striking blue eyes.

The look is accessorized with an ultra-modern watch from TW Steel.

The CE 4002 David Coulthard Special Edition boasts a precision chrono movement and a masculine titanium coated steel bezel, adding a hint of boldness to Carrick’s wrist.

“I used to care more about clothes when I was younger,” he says. “It’s

funny to me to think that now. But I was very specific about the stuff that

P R O F I L E __ 7 2

I would wear before. Now, not so much.”

Carrick’s simple taste in clothes is clearly evident when he reminisces about his first big purchase as a teen.

“I have this Diesel t-shirt that I bought when I was like, 16 or 15,” he says. “I spent my own money on it and I remember

it was 45 pounds [Carrick’s roots are northeastern England]. My mum was furious that I spent that much on a t-shirt. I still have it to this day and it’s in perfect condition.”

Today, buying a tee for more than it’s worth may be the least of Carrick’s worries.

“I’ve always loved movies but I find being on the red carpet – networking and all that stuff – to be tough,” admits Carrick.

“I’m really facing my fears with this but I’m looking forward to it. It’s a new experience for me.” ****

BMW’s new 2013 6 Series Gran Coupe is magic on wheels. A swoosh of a roofline makes it look like a sleek coupe, but rear seat passengers get their own doors.

The four-door coupe is a place where car designers can show their chops. Already mo-

toring around are the lovely Audi A7 and the Mercedes CLS. Now the 6 Series Gran Coupe shows BMW designers have sharp pencils too, a wonderful complement to luxury lifestyle.

It’s a gorgeous beast of a car. A long hood slinks down to that all-business BMW front end.

New LED headlights that give the car a searing identity at night, flank the kidney grille and a new chrome blade brightens the black louvers low down on the front bumper.

The rear view is even better -- low, wide, with just the hint of an uplift at the trunk lid,

it ties the big Gran Coupe into a neat performance package. At the top of the rear window, t t 3 c h r o n o g r a p h w at c h (o r i s , $ 3 , 5 0 0 )

the third brake light runs in a wide slash, which will be another standout signature of the Gran Coupe at night.

The long wheelbase increases the length over the

2-door coupe by 111 mm, but designers have housed it in a muscular profile.

More doors, more power right? If the Gran Coupe is

squiring four, maybe five adults, then it’s just prudent to add ponies. The twin turbo 4.4 litre V8 650i xDrive, which will be the only version of the Gran Coupe available in Canada, produces 445 horsepower, up 38 hp from the 2012

manually. BMW claims the Gran Coupe will sprint from 0 to 100km/h in a remarkable 4.5 seconds. Fuel consumption is predicted to be an impressive 8.6 l/100km in combined driving. Brake energy regeneration and auto start-stop, which cuts engine power when idling, contributes to fuel efficiency ratings.

Each new BMW showcases advanced technology features, and the Gran

Coupe has a raft of them. Lane departure warning, active blind spot detection and rear and top view camera are there to assist the driver. BMW night vision

and pedestrian detection are technologies that impressed me when I tested the 650i Cabriolet earlier this year. The heads-up display with 3D graphics makes following navigation maps easier and less distracting from driving functions.

In press previews of the Gran Coupe, journalists praised the luxurious interior, and driver-oriented cockpit. Backseat

room was pretty palatial for those under NBA regulation sizes.

These are exciting times in car production, more power but better fuel consumption, bigger cars that drive like smaller

cars, luxury paired with sportiness. The BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe, starting at $99,800, steps right in to the fray with its characteristic swagger. ****

curate or exact measurement.” It also refers to a precision tool or something “made so as to vary minimally from a set standard,” in other words, precision components. Both definitions can be aptly applied to Bulova’s Precision Chronograph watch, which will debut in the United States, Canada and Europe in October 2012.

Tadashi Nakamura, creative director at Bulova for the last three years, says, “architectural designs were my thoughts and inspiration behind designing the Precision Chronograph.”

Nakamura studied at Tokyo University of Art and Design, specializing in industrial design before solidifying his place among top

Precision is most commonly defined as, “used or intended for ac-

watchmakers. Prior to joining the Bulova family, Nakamura was design manager for Citizen Japan for several years, laying claim to many OEM brands for Europe and Japan.

Nakamura also headed the design team for Paul Smith watches marketed in Japan. It was during those years that Nakamura honed his skills and passion for detail in the watch-making business, thus bringing the Chronograph to life.

“We always begin with rough sketches by hand, as I

do with all my designs,” says Nakamura. “Then I begin to design the features, ultimately with a 2D CGI (twodimensional computer generated image, which is created

with a continuously sweeping second hand that beats 16 times per second, compared to other standard quartz watches that beat only one time per second. Proud of their proprietary expertise, the Precisionist “P” logo is on the tail of every second hand,” says Chan. The precision technology in this watch addresses temperature changes and vibration frequency, two important factors that can affect accuracy in quartz watches. “This watch has a multi-layered dial and the surface quality is excellent,” says Nakamura when referring to the elements that also contribute to making the Precisionist Chronograph different from other timepieces. “There’s a bracelet, case and layered dial that other watches do not have.”

Chan adds that, “the Champlain and Longwood bracelets are constructed by five individually milled links of various profiles.

a n d t h e s u r fac e q ua l i t y i s e xc e l l e n t Designer Profile_re.indd 3

This gives a very clean line to each link on one hand, while having separate links will provide a crisp aesthetic appeal.”

When not perfecting his watch skills, Nakamura enjoys surfing, scuba diving and beach activities. “It takes 10 minutes to walk to the beach, which I do often,” says the creative designer who has his home in Kanagawa, right outside of Tokyo. “It’s some of nature’s beauty that gives me my inspirations for rough sketches. I put those life inspirations into watch-making and the process itself. It’s a definite concept. For example, the orbit of the stars in the night sky embodies the beautiful and precise stream of time.”

It seems that Nakamura has breathed life into the Bulova line of watches with the Precisionist and has redefined the watch industry with a new sense of dynamism and excitement.

Over 50 years ago, the company introduced its Accutron product line which, at the time, was the most comprehensive and revolutionary watch of its era. Today, Nakamura says the Precisionist watch has given Bulova a superior presence. “It has balance, quality and gives one the pleasure of ownership. I’d describe this specific watch as high spec, high-quality and good design.” ****

With that comes competitive advantage: keep up or you will fall behind. We like to race, to compete, and we love to win.

This passion for speed explains our collective fascination and love affair with automobiles and automotive racing. That’s

probably because our lives are so intertwined with cars. That includes our shared history of coveting them (at least the luxury ones) and riding in them. We love to drive fast, and we like to watch others drive even faster. Professional racing circuits around the world continue to grow in popularity.

For early aviators, a precise and functional timepiece was essential

equipment to aid navigation, gauge distance and calculate fuel consumption. The wristwatch relieved Dumont from the frustration of removing his hands from the airplane controls to check his pocket watch. Commander Richard Byrd relied on an A. Wittnauer Company (now Bulova) for the first flight over the North Pole in 1926. Earlier, Wittnauer had seized on aviation to demonstrate the resilience of the world’s first shockproof watch by hurling timepieces out of airplanes.

It is not clear which brand Charles Lindbergh wore on his historic May

1927 solo flight across the Atlantic; Ardé Bulova would pay tribute to the

ever maga zine.ca

airman with a cheque for $1,000 and a Bulova Lone Eagle wristwatch.

Aviation 4_re.indd 2

But ‘Lucky Lindy’ would give up his hard-earned secrets for a pilot’s navigation watch in a detailed letter to rival Longines upon his return from Paris.

12-10-11 4:08 PM

Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic,

insisted on an Omega watch and clocks in the instrument panel of her single-engine Lockheed Vega 5B. The Omega Speedmaster is the only watch to have landed on the moon. The wristwatch was no longer an essential instrument in the flight deck - or so it was thought. In 1970, the Speedmaster was used to manually time the precise engine boost needed for the crippled Apollo 13 space module to re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere.

On occasion, the evolution of aeronautical and watch craftsmanship

happened in reverse. Abraham-Louis Breguet founded his watch company in Paris in 1775. In 1909, his great-great grandson would build his first fixed wing aircraft and go on to design and build a World War I reconnaissance aircraft and day bombers for the French air force.

Aviation is a fast, romantic and technology-driven industry with the precision, lifestyle and thundering thrills that luxury watch brands want to be associated with. Cartier still has a line of Santos Dumontinspired watches and sunglasses.

Hamilton, the first watch worn for the inaugural US airmail service

between Washington and New York, and in the 1930s the official watch of pioneer legends such as TWA and United, is the official timekeeper at many international air events. The largest is the AirVenture air show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, attracting over 10,000 aircraft and 500,000 AMELIA EARHART (av iati o n p i o n eer a n d a u th o r )

aviation enthusiasts from around the world. Hamilton also has an association with several of the world’s most prestigious formation teams, including Canada’s Snowbirds.

Still, no watchmaker has so tightly strapped its brand to aeronau-

tics than Breitling. The Swiss manufacturer’s aviation roots may not stretch as far back as some, but they are planted as deep. In the early 1930s, Breitling produced onboard chronographs that would equip the cockpits of famous World War II fighters, including airplanes flown by the Royal Air Force. In tribute, a full-sized RAF Spitfire is anchored to the rooftop of Breitling’s headquarters in Grenchen, Switzerland.

Every year, Breitling thrills crowds at aviation shows and other

sporting events with aerobatics, wing walkers and the world’s largest professional civilian jet formation team.

The Breitling fleet hits all the glory marks of aviation from the barn-

storming 30s to the golden age of air travel with one of the world’s last airworthy Lockheed Super Constellations, the grand lady of the skies during the 1940s and 50s.

Breitling refuses to put a price tag on its aero-activities, but the

message is clear: it is one thing to showcase a watch in front of an aviation backdrop. To fly the brand, a timepiece belongs in the cockpit. ****

d a y , an extraordinary and mysterious gem, a stunning

24.78-carat pink diamond, became the most valuable jewel in the world, reaching the staggering sum of 45.5 million Swiss Francs ($45.2 million CDN) - an exhilarating and unprecedented sale soon to become the envy of any reputable jewellery house.

Beyond its splendid pink hue and its exceptional cut and purity, this magnificent

diamond owes its rarity and value to its chemical properties: a rare Type IIA which make up less than two per cent of existing cut diamonds, the purest form of all crystal gems presenting a most exceptional optical clarity.

This superb gem left its 60 years of secrecy to become a historical landmark. Its new

owner, Sir Laurence Graff proudly admitted: “It is the most fabulous diamond I’ve seen in my career and I’m delighted to have bought it.” In just a few seconds, this unforeseen gem made history, and was soon renamed the Graff Pink.

investment

Lineage symbols, family treasures, and faithful witnesses of passionate liaisons and historic

episodes, these notorious jewels sporadically make their appearances for special celebrations or important events, outliving their successive owners from one generation to the next.

Possessing any one of these unique pieces has become an absolute obsession in the minds of

most indulgent collectors such as Graff, leading to a growing demand for celebrity jewellery collections, as well as for exceptional gems.

Are they guided by passion or vision? Whatever their underlying motive might be, this trend is

as present as ever.

Rahul Kadakia, Christie’s Head of Jewellery in New York, said: “More and more clients are turn-

ing toward high-quality diamonds, fine-coloured gemstones, and also vintage jewels as an alternate but very secure form of investment.”

Said Francois Curiel, International Jewellery Director and President of Christies Asia: “It’s part

of a general movement where, at the moment, works of art and jewellery attract a lot of customers. It’s no longer the best-kept secret. Financial markets are not very attractive at the moment. If you give money to your bank they give you one percent a year, if that. The fact that the art market, over the past five to 10 years, performed extremely well — not only in jewellery, but in Impressionist and modern art as well as post-war and contemporary — also gives new buyers courage to enter the market. I think it is mostly the lack of confidence in the monetary system which pushes people to works of art and jewellery.”

Investors and collectors realize the long-term stability that comes with these investments.

“A fine diamond or an exceptional colour gem not only retains its value but will appreciate over time, even through crisis periods such as 2009,” says Henri Barguirdjian, Graff President and CEO for the Americas.

As an investment, jewels with iconic signatures such as Cartier and Van Cleef remain the most

appealing. A bracelet circa 1930 made by one of these reputable houses, set with sapphires, rubies, onyx and diamonds, doubled its estimate to reach a staggering $338,500 USD at auction.

In a similar fashion, a diamond Cartier bracelet circa 1952, adorned with 62 carats of rubies,

recently went for $590,000 USD, more than double its original estimate.

Another successful sale was that very famous pearl necklace acquired by Calvin Klein for his

wife Kelly, which would certainly not have been as attractive to him, had it not once belonged to the Duchess of Windsor. >

12-10-11 4:37 PM

When referring to the 2011 Elizabeth Taylor Estate sale,

Francois Curiel elaborates: “Jewels attract passionate people.

But had the collection of Elizabeth Taylor not belonged to Elizabeth Taylor, we certainly wouldn’t have sold 25,000

tickets at $30 a piece for people to come to the exhibition, and we certainly would not have had 39,000 people around the world look at the exhibition. Her name drew the crowd.

“There are quite interesting statistics [about the jewellery market]. The Elizabeth Taylor Diamond was purchased by Richard Burton for her for $300,000. That, corrected for inflation, comes to $1.95 million. We sold it for $8.8 million. There are many examples like

Nouveau flair have taken over the minimalist rave: chandelier pendants, lace designs, brooches and hair adornments, all clearly reminiscent of 18th- and 19th-century trends.

When spending significant sums on jewellery, customers

are also increasingly willing to get a sense of purpose - not only value for their money. They also expect some type of emotional resonance.

Beauty and design are no longer sufficient; important

jewels need to reflect their singularity and the owner’s personality as well.

As explained by Stanislas de Quercize, President and global CEO of Van Cleef & Arpels (soon to be head of Cartier worldwide): “People are buying with their hearts and their brains.”

Objects with a soul will always prevail over less signifi-

cant possessions. A jewel should provide the same satisfaction as the acquisition of a masterpiece; when a collector desires an objet d’art, or feels inclined to possess his/her own relic of the past, by obtaining it, they become an active part of its history.

In a time of unpredictable financial markets and eco-

nomic uncertainty, a short-term demand for cash has significantly advanced estate jewellery sales, and boosted private collection auction venues.

A larger scope of consumers can now access the enchant-

Israel’s history is never far or forgotten; every inch of the city holds a piece of its past. Case in point is Israel’s first train station in the once tired looking district of Hata Chana, which has now been transformed into a swanky area to eat and shop. A large freight car and some rail tracks stand like sculptures, front and centre, among Israeli designer boutiques, and the Soho neighbourhood is a knockout place for fashion, filled with many clothing stores and jewellery designer shops. A good example of the eye candy featured in this area is at Hella Ganon’s, which takes computer-assisted gold jewellery design to a whole new level. >

The new addition to the Tel Aviv Art Museum is a perfect example of the high quality that comes with new architecture.

While I was there, the exhibit of famous contemporary German artist, Anselm Kiefer, reminded me of the atmosphere of New York’s Museum of Modern Art: filled with parents and their kids, teenagers discussing the canvases, sculptures, and seniors mesmerized by these new concepts.

Security was present when I visited the Boursa, the renowned Israel Diamond Centre, in Ramat Gan. It’s easier to get into Fort Knox.

Opened in 1986, the Boursa is considered one of the largest diamond

exchanges in the world, although India is now a close second after learning the craft from the Israelis. In this major complex - a village within a village - is the 240-metre Moshe Avi Tower - the “Golden Gate,” where a handshake seals the deal.

Luckily, I have an acquaintance who is a member. Connections are

important. With my passport in hand, I go through my first security check. I am photographed for a must-have visitor’s tag and my fingerprints are taken - now forever on their computers. Here you can purchase loose or set diamond items from the purest white to fancy coloured; round diamonds are still the most popular sellers. This is where traditional designs compete with the most innovative, unique creations.

Cutting, finishing and polishing is handled in a very secured much

smaller, less flashy set of buildings.

S c h o o l

o f

r o c k s

Naturally, a lesson with one of the super mavens in the Boursa centered around the four Cs (cut, clarity, carat and colour), then about discussions as to why one diamond sparkles more than another. Faceting is referred to as “hearts and arrows.” Through intricate and precise facets, a perfectly cut stone shines brighter than a lower grade stone. The light enters the top (or table) then reflects it from one side to the other and exits from the top again.

Proportions and symmetry establish brilliance. Cut captures the light. Colour

is a matter of choice, from pure, colourless white (the most valuable and costly) to light yellow, cognac, brown black, pink, blue, green and rare red. As carat size increases, so does the price tag. As for clarity, this means the absence of flaws, either on the surface or inside, and often can only be seen with a jeweller’s loupe. However, most diamonds contain inclusion such as pits, chips, cracks, air bubbles, feathering and non-diamond minerals.

With my head spinning, I am overjoyed to see the nearby Harry Oppenheimer Diamond Museum, where there’s a short film explaining where diamonds come from. There are a few rooms filled with well-secured, actual pieces on display and some that are replicas of the largest and most rare jewellery in the world.

In a country with only 65 years under its belt, Tel Aviv’s youthful ode to the

diamond culture, through its Boursa, museum and rich culture, is sure to keep this uber popular stone at the core of the international diamond trade. ****
