SPYKER C8 PRELIATOR

EVOLUTION OF A CLAS The Spyker C8 Preliator marks the next step in Spyker Cars' evolution. The 2-door mid-engine sports car will offer the discerning driver of the highest standards a new choice, delivering a rare combination of heritage, design, crasmanship, performance and exclusivity.

|4|

THE PRELIATOR AT FIRST SIGHT The Spyker C8 Preliator is the epitome of our unrivalled crasmanship, its contemporary design the ultimate translation of our aviation heritage toa “road jet”, a plane without wings.

Highly detailed design, bespoke materials and aviation-inspired elements are a core part of the Spyker DNA. Spyker's third-generation sports car features design cues from jet propulsion aircra, highlighting the turbine blade, NACA duct air inlets and lile wings, ailerons, to improve the car's aerodynamic performance.

SWITCH IT UP Flick the red cover on the ignition switch to evoke the spirit of starting an aeroplane. Activate the ignition switch and listen to the reassuring “clack” as the aluminium switch moves into place. Watch the dashboard light up as part of your ‘pre-flight check'. Pressing the engine start/stop buon brings to life a powerful V8 engine that delivers 525 bhp.

With sleek aerodynamics, a long GT-wheelbase, luxurious and spacious cabin and world-class drivetrain, the new C8 Preliator has broadened the appeal of the Spyker brand while maintaining the marque’s exclusivity.

RADIATOR GRILLE The trademark radiator grille references to Spyker models of the previous century. The 1903 Spyker logo harkens back to an era when Spyker built racers such as the amazing Spyker 60HP.

LUXURY AUTOS

SSIC EYE-CATCHING HEADLIGHTS The style of the Spyker C8 Preliator’s headlights is particularly eye-catching as they flow seamlessly from the body design. LED daytime running lights are used to increase the conspicuity during daylight conditions.

TURBINE BLADES Striking 12-spoke 19-inch Rotorblade™ wheels are available as an option. These wheels are inspired by the turbine blades of a modern jet engine.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL Spykers are the ultimate statement of individuality.

They are craed by individuals for individuals, our discerning clients, who appreciate crasmanship and aention to detail.

TIMELESS DESIGN The Spyker C8 Preliator exhibits a timeless beauty reminiscent of a classic car, thanks to perfect proportions and the purity of surfaces. www.spykercars.com/models/C8-Preliator

CARBON BODY The Spyker C8 Preliator has carbon body panels, a lightweight material oen used in the aviation industry. There is a distinct absence of ‘shut lines’ on the front wings and rear quarter panels.

ESPIRITU DEL VIENTO TEQ BLANCO THE PROMIS Espíritu Del Viento Tequila Blanco - The Promise, is A premium 100% Agave Tequila produced in the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. Espiritu Del Viento (‘Spirit of The Wind’) comes in an artisanal, hand decorated ceramic bole that takes 27 hours to complete. The bole is packaged in a sanded, handcraed wooden piece of art.

Espiritu Del Viento The Promise Silver is categorized as a Blanco. Type is determined by age. Blanco ("white") or Plata ("silver") is a white, un-aged spirit. This spirit is boled immediately aer distillation, or aged less than two months in stainless steel or neutral oak barrels. This creates a clear spirit with strong Agave flavors.

Much of the flavors and characteristics of a whiskey are drawn up from the wood that the spirit is matured in. Oak is the wood used most oen in the maturing of spirits due to its durability and high level of natural occurring oils.

These oils, called vanillins, are the main component in imparting flavor on the spirit aged within the barrel.

|8|

Distillation The agave used in Espiritu Del Viento The Promise Silver is extracted using a Shredder - Roller.

Tasting Notes Appearance—White-Blue Diamond Aroma—Agave, peach, citruses, wet clay, banana, green apple, herbal, pear and sweet cucumber.

Initial Taste —Powerful taste that is smooth when swallowing. Long aer taste of berry, agave and lime flavors remaining in the mouth.

Body—Long and resistant legs.

Finish—Kiwi, agave, herbal hp://espiritudelviento.com.mx

LUXURY WATCHES

BREMONT JAGUAR MKII THE MKII INSTANTLY TRANSPORTS THE WEARER BACK TO THE GOLDEN ERA OF 1960S SPORTS CAR MOTORING, ITS BLACK DIAL CARRYING THE JAGUAR HERITAGE LOGO ABOVE THE SIX O’CLOCK POSITION AND ITS HOUR MARKINGS BEING IN THE STYLE OF THE NUMERALS FOUND ON ETYPE INSTRUMENTS. The classic chronograph layout - featuring two subdials at the three o’clock and nine o’clock positions - is achieved through the use of the beautifully decorated BE-50AE automatic movement which has been specially customised

by Bremont to a unique specification, a subtle ‘red line’ on the 60-minute counter paying homage to the E-Type’s tachometer.

The 43mm stainless steel case - which is fied with a double-domed crystal to enhance the vintage appearance of the watch - is made entirely in the UK by Bremont using its renowned, three-part ‘Trip-Tick’ technology which ensures a hardness seven times greater than that of a normal steel watch.

Visible through a sapphire crystal case back, the mechanism again pays tribute to the E-Type with an automatic ‘steering wheel’ winding weight in the same style as that of the MKI. Further automotive imagery can be seen in the ‘tyre tread’ winding crown, which is topped with the Jaguar heritage logo to match that of the dial.

Movement Calibre 13 ¼''' BE-50AE automatic, 28 jewels, Glucydur balance, Anachron balance spring, Nivaflex 1 mainspring, 28,800bph, 42 hour power reserve. Miniaturised Jaguar E-Type steering wheel rotor.

Functions Hour/Minutes, small seconds counter at 9H. Date at 6H. Chronograph centre sweep seconds hand, 30 minutes counter at 3H. Case Polished and hardened stainless steel Bremont Trip-Tick® construction with scratch resistant DLC treated case barrel. Case diameter 43mm, lug width 16mm, case thickness 17.15mm.

RE

AT THE MET For more than a century, couture has been emblematic of the triumph of costume and fashion. It represents the fusion of fashion—the modern entity that combines novelty and synergy with personal and social needs—and costume—the arts of dressmaking, tailoring, and cras constituent to apparel and accessories.

Founded in the crucible of modernism’s invention in the middle years of the nineteenth century in Paris, with the expanded patronage cultivated by the House of Worth, but still dependent upon the considerable support of Empress Eugénie, couture has long stood as the modern equilibrium between the garment as exquisite aggregate and the burgeoning notions of fashion as a system.

The persistence of the haute couture is as roundly questioned and doubted and debated as the survival of painting or the supposed death of Broadway. Some may have doubted that the couture would survive its founder, the entrepreneurial Charles Frederick Worth. In the early years of the twentieth century, Paul Poiret took couture into an admiedly dangerous path

| 28 |

of change, responding to Orientalist and social sirens, but even more to the beckoning of commerce and the use of the couture as a generating engine for fashion and fragrance broadly disseminated. Ironically, the couture flourished in the postwar period, beginning with the immense popular appeal of Christian Dior’s “New Look” in 1947. This supposed fashion novelty was so successful in part because it knew acutely its history and reconvened the finest skills to the couture.

The couture house is customarily composed of two parts, one devoted to dressmaking (flou), the other devoted to tailoring (tailleur) of suits and coats. Skilled workers in each area practice the arts apposite to the area. Embellishments and

accessories are added incrementally as applied decoration, oen from sources outside the couture house. However, with regard to the unembellished garment, the modern couture house is a completely autonomous workroom of dedicated ateliers. In fact, surprisingly, in view of the elegant locations of most couture houses, the creation of the garments occurs in the maisons particulières of the house, thus under the daily surveillance of the designer as well as in intimate connection with the vendeuses. Depending upon the designer, the design process might begin either with sketches or with a muslin or toile, draped and cut. Fit, both in its tailored form and in its dressmaking variant, is inevitably part of the value of the couture. A designer or trusted fier will conduct the client through a series of fiings to determine the minute adjustments of the garment to the individual’s size and sense of comfort.

The couture’s offering of distinction in design and technique remains a compelling force, one even more potent when much other quality has atrophied. It remains a discipline of ultimate imagination, unaccountable to cost, with the paradox of being the fashion most cognizant of its ideal clients. It is, as it began, a dream of quality in an era of industry and its succession. The haute couture persists in providing us with a paragon of the most beautiful clothing that can be envisioned and made in any time. www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/haut/ hd_haut.htm

BLANC DE BLANCS The emblem of the Ruinart Taste. The chardonnay is the very soul of Ruinart. The grape, mainly harvested from the C么te des Blancs and Montagne de Reims terroirs, is at the heart of all our cuv茅es.

Ruinart Blanc de Blancs embodies purity of the chardonnay grapes from which it is made exclusively. made primarily with Premiers Crus from the C么te des Blancs and montagne de reims terroirs, it is intensely aromatic.

The nose is powerfully reminiscent of fresh fruits with dominant notes of citrus and exotic fruits, followed by a touch of jasmine, white peaches and pink peppercorns.

The palate is both precise and clean as the wine delivers a radiant balance between roundness and smoothness. www.ruinart.com/en-uk/the-wines/ruinartblanc-de-blancs

LUXURY WATCHES

PARMIGIANI FLEURIER TRANSFORMA IN TUNE WITH DESIRES The new Transforma collection from Parmigiani is designed to suit life’s rich array of occasions. A wristwatch or a fob watch, sporty or elegant, it can be transformed to meet every desire. At night it becomes a table clock, marking the hours of sleep.

The new Calibre PF 334 automatic chronograph has the chameleon-like ability to transform as the situation, time and desire dictates. First and foremost a wristwatch, the Transforma can also be used as a fob watch or a table clock. The owner can retain the link with their watch both day and night.

Its steel exterior lends the Transforma a pure aesthetic which is perfectly suited to its various roles. Its silvered dial is adorned with a “Côtes de Genève” decoration applied in the manufacture’s own workshops. The Chronograph function is visible via the raised graphite-coloured hour and minute counters. The date is displayed in a large window at 6 o’clock. A tachometer scale completes the indications on the Transforma.

| 42 |

MODULAR USES - A THREE-PHASE TRANSFORMATION With its classic round, ergonomic shape featuring curved lugs, the Transforma collection can be adapted in a variety of ways. Like a jaw seizing and swallowing up the main body of the watch, the steel “cover” is deployed by simply pressing the two lateral push-pieces on the two lower lugs.

Once released, the main part - the case - then clips naturally into the soly rounded steel fob watch holder. With its asymmetric right side, the holder provides access to the Chronograph functions as well as the winding and seing components – the push-pieces and the crown - even when the bezel is lowered. Extended by a steel chain, the Transforma becomes one of the classics of the watchmaking world.

The third incarnation of the new Transforma collection, the table clock is made of macassar ebony, a highly valuable wood, houses the wristwatch. Like a rotating presentation case, the winding mechanism starts up automatically once the timepiece is positioned. At the end of the process, the table clock places the Transforma in the vertical position to make the time perfectly readable. Three small compartments on the side have been designed to hold the fob watch and its chain, the warranty card or any other Transforma components.

A WATCH PRODUCED ENTIRELY IN THE MANUFACTURE’S OWN WORKSHOPS The watch’s dial, movement and two steel cases have been produced entirely in Parmigiani’s workshops (Foundation Watchmaking Manufactures), from manufacture to hand finishing, in line with highly stringent criteria .

The steel Transforma is equipped with a Hermès alligator leather strap with deployant buckle.

Luxury News Luxury Yacht Concept makes you want to move out to sea

Concept designer Maxim Zhivov has unveiled a new super yacht which combines elements of architecture and luxury boat design. The “Your yacht, your home” project would see a yacht built that is both residence and ship, with an appearance not too dissimilar to that of an old rum-runner. When it passes, however, the rear reveals a small suburbanlike home complete with its own garden area. Zhivov also focuses heavily on making the boat environmentally-friendly with solar panels providing energy throughout. The boat is just a concept right now, but hopefully we’ll see something hit production in the near future.

GRAFF DIAMONDS Haute couture. Luxury homeware. Iconic luxury retailer Harrods has long been a lavish shopper's paradise for those with discerning taste. Now those with a taste for exquisite jewels can make a beeline for Harrods’ iconic Knightsbridge department store on Brompton Road, where the boutique façade of its Fine Jewellery Room has been newly punctuated with the distinctive icon motif of Graff Diamonds.

| 62 |

Step into the space, and you'll see an elaborate Bohemia Crystal chandelier above you with hundreds of hand-blown glass spheres in gold, bronze and silver notes suspending from the ceiling, lighting up the entire boutique and its fine display of jewellery pieces.

Brushed gold and glass showcases — displaying opulent diamonds and gemstones — line the boutique store walls, clad with bedazzlingly golden dichroic glass mirrors. Richly toned American walnut paneled walls and a monochrome-hued floor of Cipolino, Pentelikon and Verde Assoluto marble add a fine sheen to the store interiors.

This is Graff Diamonds' gorgeously fied expanded store — all 1242 sq  of it — at Harrods. Helmed by Graff’s in-house Monaco-based interior design team, the materials for the store were sourced from all across the world.

As Graff chief executive officer Francois Graff comments of the Harrods store that first launched last year before its current expanded location, “The significantly expanded store will enable our clientele to further experience the exemplary crasmanship incorporated into our exceptional jewels and innovative timepieces from Graff Luxury Watches."

| 64 |

With over five decades at the height of the luxury jewellery industry, the 1960-founded diamond brand remains as a family business. Graff Diamonds has reputedly handled more diamonds of rarity and beauty than any other jeweller in the world.

Notably, four of the five largest diamonds to be uncovered in this century were cut and polished by it. In the last decade, it has also expanded to include a luxury watch business since 2008 with patented diamond seings.

In 2016, the brand expansion will see Graff's global network span across 55 stores. At Harrods, two dedicated VIP rooms will also be introduced, says Harrods fashion director Helen David.

LUXURY COGNAC

LE VOYAGE DE

DELAMAIN A very limited and sought-aer cognac from the house of Delamain. A blend of their finest old Grande Champagne Cognacs presented in a Baccarat decanter itself sat inside a fan-shaped gi box styled aer an old school camera's bellows.

The New and extremely rare Cognac from Delamain each one individually numbered with only 500 pieces available worldwide presented ina Baccarat decanter What makes this Cognac extraordinary is the blend of extremely old eaux-de-vie that has been nurtured in the famous demi-johns in the Delamain cellars. These glass vessels protect the ancient spirit that has matured into a veritable treasure. Such an elixir traces the history of Delamain and represents a living archive of the house.

| 66 |

Whilst the labels indicating the grand age of the Cognacs have faded, the perfect seal of each demijohn has prevented any evaporation. These treasures from the last century, inestimable and ultra rare should only be seen on exceptional occasions. 'Le Voyage de Delamain' invites you to discover the cra of another epoque.

This Cognac remains in homage to the founder James Delamain, who as a young man returned to France over a century aer his family had fled to Ireland. The descendants of James Delamain are still in aendance today, eager to discover the grand eauxde-vie preserved by their ancestors.

The blend of cognacs reveals a host of subtle sensations: all the perfumes of Russian leather, the musky aroma of the tropics, the heady scent of tobacco from the Americas, of coffee from Africa heralding the spicy hints of the Far East and finally the bouquet of grapes from the hillsides of the Grande Champagne.

'Le Voyage de Delamain' is the heart of the jewel, housed in a magnificent Baccarat decanter with the purest curves and lines and surrounded by an exquisite leather casket evoking the traditional bellows used for luggage in times gone by. www.delamain-cognac.fr/us/

LUXURY WATCHES

CORUM

G A

I

POWER AND CONTRASTS FOR A LEGEND IN MOVEMENT Like a burning fire born of an alliance between gold and titanium, the legendary Golden Bridge Automatic from Corum appears in a whole new light. Contrasts, transparency and an exceptional mechanism combine in this new interpretation of an iconic contemporary Haute Horlogerie model.

Beating steadily at its heart is the spectacular and exclusive Corum CO313 caliber with its linear oscillating weight, set off to its best advantage by the metallized sapphire dial. Or what happens when history meets the future.

In 1980, a time when conformism and caution were all too prevalent, Corum caused a major ripple in watch industry waters by presenting its Golden Bridge baguee movement. This incredible mechanical caliber defying the laws of horological kinetics had what it takes to go down in history. It did just that and ever since, not content with merely turning heads, it has constantly evolved, proving an ever greater source of fascination in its tourbillon version – and in 2011 with a spectacular automatic development featuring a linear oscillating weight.

| 70 |

Riding the same innovative momentum that le an indelible imprint on watchmaking almost 35 years ago, Corum now presents a new interpretation of its legendary Golden Bridge.

Combining the gold of a fabled movement with the titanium of a sleek, sophisticated case, the new Golden Bridge Automatic demonstrates the wide range of skills cultivated by Corum. From the mechanical complexity of its exceptional movement to the powerful design of a case in titanium grade 5 with black DLC treatment, the new Golden Bridge is a comprehensive expression of its multiple fields of competence.

The new Golden Bridge Automatic in titanium – clad in a contrasting black color that admirably highlights the gold movement – plays the alchemist with the theme of transparency by revealing a subtle architecture. From this 360° transparency when the watch is not worn, it turns opaque once secured to the wrist, which is duly hidden from sight in order to enhance the magic of an exclusive linear mechanism. The secret of this fascinating orchestration lies in a striated metalized decoration on the sapphire crystal case back. This stunningly transparent architecture creates a play on perspectives, alternating hiding or revealing the exterior elements of the watch.

Made of gold like the movement itself, the hourmarkers applied on the sapphire dial accentuate the overall depth effect, while the openworked hands lend a light, airy touch.

GOLDEN BRIDGE AUTOMATIC

IN TITANIUM

Beating at the heart of this fascinating set of optical effects is Corum’s exclusive CO313 caliber, an automatic linear-winding baguee movement. Equipped with a platinum linear oscillating weight along with a slipping spring mechanism, this mechanical masterpiece beats at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) and enjoys a 40hour power reserve. The 194-part movement also features a variable-inertia balance – a guarantee of long-term high precision – and a miniaturized barrel designed to avoid disrupting the resolutely vertical nature of this model.

The mainplate and bridges are in 18K red gold, adorned with a finely hand-craed vertical guilloché motif providing a delightful visual accompaniment for the linear motion of the oscillating weight.

Reflecting a confident, self-assured nature, the new Corum Golden Bridge Automatic comes on a black crocodile strap fied with a titanium pin buckle bearing the Corum key, and is water-resistant to 30 meters. www.corum.ch/en/collection/bridge

MASERAT GRANTUR

| 80 |

To mark its glorious first centenary, Maserati has produced a car like no other: a masterpiece whose every last detail expresses the legend that is the Marque of the Trident. The GranTurismo MC Stradale Centennial Edition is unrivalled in its power, performance and crasmanship. This is Maserati passion and innovation at its best, sporting all the stunning lines that have made the brand an international design icon since it first sped onto the scene in 1914.

Elegant and urbanite with an aggressive sporty edge, the GranTurismo MC Stradale Centennial Edition is a bold tribute to one hundred years of Maserati. The illustrious past of the House of the Trident is clearly present in the genetics of the model, yet this GranTurismo also paves the way for future generations.

world luxury | WEEKLY | Issue 4 |

STILL WATERS RUN DEEP Despite its traditional GranTurismo silhouee, this centennial edition stands apart from its forbears. The new Rosso Magma colour was designed to achieve the appearance of motion, even when the car is stationary. Applied in three coats, the shade varies subtly depending on the light to reveal deep undertones of purple and blue: perfection at 0km/h. The alternative launch shade, Blu Inchiostro, represents a stunning visual reference to both Maserati’s home city of Bologna and its iconic oval emblem. Five further paintwork colours are also available, ensuring a truly personalised experience for every driver.

AN EYE FOR DETAIL The centennial edition’s stunning selection of eyecatching exterior finishes is the perfect complement to the spirit of the model. The pearlescent red of the paintwork is partnered with an accent of colour on the large callipers of

| 82 |

the carbon ceramic brakes, visible behind the spokes of the MC Design wheels. This shade is offset by sleek black carbon fibre detailing on the rear spoiler, door handles and door mirror casings.

Lastly, the unique Maserati Centennial logo proudly emblazoned on the hubcaps pays one last homage to one hundred years of innovative design.

BEAUTY ON THE INSIDE The interior of the GranTurismo MC Stradale Centennial Edition rivals the exterior’s statement aesthetic. Visually striking accent panels on the headrests, armrests and steering wheel create a look that is as powerful as it is elegant. The sporty appearance of the interior is enhanced by carbon fibre inserts on the dashboard and seat surrounds, while the celebratory Maserati Centennial logo takes pride of place on the kick plate.

A SPORTSMAN AT HEART The GranTurismo MC Stradale Maserati Centennial Special Edition is powered by the 460 HP, 4.7 litre V8 that first appeared in the GranTurismo Sport, combined with a robotised, 6speed MC Race Shi gearbox that guarantees superb performance and a top speed of 303 km/h.

This highly innovative engine is designed to adapt to the driving environment, emiing a discreet purr in an urban seing and powerful roar on the open road.

A BESPOKE INTERIOR The headrests of this exclusive edition display an embroidered Trident as a visual reference to the iconic logo. Eye-catching features also include contrasting stitching on the dashboard and central tunnel, along with the Maserati Centennial logo that takes pride of place on the kick plate.

Even the carpets have not been overlooked: their new coloured borders reflect the accent colour used elsewhere in the interior.

MAKING AN IMPRESSION As well as Rosso Magma, three more triple-coat colours have been created to celebrate Maserati’s centenary, each one matched to specific interiors: Blu Inchiostro, Grigio Pietra (with mica providing an interesting metallic effect) and Bianco Birdcage. Nero Carbonio, Bianco Eldorado and Grigio Granito then complete the choice of colours. www.maserati.com/maserati/en/en/index/ models/granturismo/granturismo-mc-stradalecentennial-edition.html

VEDEMA A LUXURY COLLECTION HOTEL, SANTORINI

Presidential Villa This century old neoclassical Eliopoulos Mansion, originally a captain’s house, was designed by celebrated Greek decorator Aggelos Aggelopoulos. Incorporating the customary color combination of white and turquoise, he has given the villa an authentic, modern feel that reflects the culture that 19th Century ship owners— arriving from travels abroad—brought to Santorini.

Outdoors, the exceptional villa grounds boast 200-square-meters of private patios and verandas. A heated hydro-massage pool is positioned on the patio and an open-air Jacuzzi resides in the courtyard. Marvel at the surrounding village, cerulean sea, and emerald vineyard views while idling on poolside chaise lounges or couches in the additional outdoor seating area.

| 88 |

Location Santorini—also known as Thira—is renowned as the most beautiful of Greece’s 56 Cycladic Islands. Located 200 kilometers southeast of the mainland, the island covers 96-square-kilometers and aracts international tourists seeking its volcanic black-sandy beaches, sugar-cube Cycladic buildings, twisting stone alleyways with gregarious nightlife, blue-domed churches, and azure sea.

Santorini’s dramatic beauty was formed by a massive volcanic eruption that took place over three and a half thousand years ago around 16451600 BC. Rumors abound that this eruption was the demise of the legendary lost city of Atlantis.

Lost city or not, Santorini is steeped in rich history, and Vedema Resort has the advantage of being located near the airport and the port of Athinios—convenient to all area aractions.

Features When Antonis Elliopoulos founded Vedema Resort, his aim was to build a first-class resort ideally situated in the heart of stunning Santorini.

These premier principles are reflected today in the exceptional service provided by our Luxury Collection Concierge and 24-hour Front Desk, onhand at all times to arrange on-site wine tasting, international newspaper delivery service NewspaperDirect, luggage transport service Luggage Liaison, and much more. Taking full advantage of the island’s gis are our Private Beach and numerous recreational activities. www.starwoodhotels.com/luxury/property/over view/index.html?

LUXURY WATCHES

EBERHARD & CO

CHRONO 4 A STRAIGHT LINE TOWARDS A SPORTING ATTITUDE For almost a century, chronographs have been the core concern and primary passion of Eberhard & Co. Much like its La Chaux-de-Fonds headquarters inaugurated in 1907, an imposing building that towered over the centre of the watchmaking town for several years, the brand has historically been a dominant force in the production of this type of timepiece. In 1919, it launched the first wrist chronograph, and then in 1938 the first chronograph to feature an hours counter, followed the next year by the first chronograph enabling double timing by means of a new “split-seconds” device. In the wake of the quartz crisis, Eberhard & Co. remained as passionately dedicated as ever to this watchmaking genre, since it was the first back on the market with a mechanical chronograph.

During World War II, Eberhard & Co. with its Magini System watch, a split-second chronograph, was one of the two watch industry protagonists – along with Longines – contributing to a feat accomplished by the Italian air force: a secret flight from Rome to Tokyo and back achieved thanks to these two timepieces.

During the laer half of the 20th century, Eberhard & Co. launched several chronograph collections including the famous Extra-Fort, Contograf and Tazio Nuvolari lines.

Eberhard & Co. kicked off the 21st century with another world-first, this time not on a technical level but rather in terms of design. Released in 2001, the Chrono 4 pioneered a new dial counter layout. Instead of previous arrangements involving counters at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock, and sometimes a fourth at 12 o’clock, this model featured four horizontally aligned counters. This patented design echoes that of racing car dashboards and has become an unmistakable

signature feature of the Eberhard & Co. brand.

"4 in-line counters, a patented design".

30-minute and 12-hour chronograph counters, along with 24-hour and small seconds subdials, compose the line of four displays on the Chrono 4 model.

Working on an ETA 2892 base calibre, the brand’s makers developed the Eberhard & Co. system that lends a particularly dynamic touch to the functions of this sporty timepiece, complemented by the date at 12 o’clock and a tachymetric scale.

The Chrono 4 collection is interpreted in several sizes.

The original 40mm model was enlarged to “Grande Taille” (43mm) and “Géant” versions respectively introduced in 2008 and 2010. While most of them have a steel case that underscores their sporting style, the 40mm models also come in pink gold. They feature a white, black or blue dial with tone-on-tone or contrasting counters and subdials, along with raised rims, luminescent hour-markers, dagger-shaped hands and a choice between a steel bracelet and a leather or rubber strap.

The Grande Taille steel models with a rubber strap are distinguished by rubber inserts on the screw-lock crowns and several versions are enlivened with colourful accents (counter hands, hour-markers, the tips of the hours and minutes hands), while a limited edition commemorating the 10th birthday of the collection is recognisable by its large red Roman X numeral. www.eberhard-co-watches.ch/collection/chrono4/basic-chrono-4/

BEO LAB 90

VISION OF SOUND It will not be for everybody, but it will be for the right somebody. BeoLab 90 is our proudest loudspeaker to date, built for optimum precision in sound. It will blow the roof off your house and knock the socks off your guests.

CHANGING THE FUTURE OF SOUND Imagine a loudspeaker so intelligently conceptualized, so exquisitely craed, and so finely tuned that it can deliver the ultimate sound experience no maer the circumstances. That is the new BeoLab 90 loudspeaker by Bang & Olufsen. It will change the future of sound.

THE INTELLIGENT LOUDSPEAKER BeoLab 90 contains a multitude of technologies. It´s a perfect mix of world-class design and acoustics in, what may well be, the most complete and powerful digital loudspeaker designed for use in your home.

This highly intelligent loudspeaker provides you with clarity, range and a sound staging that is second-tonone. BeoLab 90 features an impressive 360-degree design, has a variety of seings, and regardless of its placement, the room or your listening position it will give you mind-blowing sound.

| 100 |

THE SPEAKER, NOT THE ROOM, DEFINES THE SOUND Resonances in your room and boundary effects from your walls affect the sound you get from your loudspeakers. BeoLab 90 is fied with Bang & Olufsen’s new Active Room Compensation technology making up for the impact of your room, your furniture, the placement of the loudspeakers and the location of the listening position. This advanced technology guarantees you a sensational sound experience exactly where you want it.

CONTROL THE WIDTH AND THE DIRECTION OF THE SOUND Reflections from your room’s surfaces affect your listening experience by altering both the tonal balance and the precision of the placement of instruments and voices. With Beam Width Control you get the power to ensure that these reflections do not interfere with the experience when you sit in the sweet spot. Invite friends to join you, and you can widen the beam to ensure that everyone shares the same sound. The beam can even be expanded to provide a full 360º dispersion, if you are hosting a party.

BeoLab 90 delivers the sound where you want it. With loudspeaker drivers placed in various directions, you can use the Beam Direction Control to steer the sound radiation to your favourite listening location.

These groundbreaking new Bang & Olufsen technologies will give you an experience you get nowhere else.

A POWER HOUSE BeoLab 90 has 18 state-of-the-art Scan-Speak loudspeaker drivers placed in carefully defined locations and directions to deliver maximum performance in frequency, time and space. The loudspeaker packs a combination of 14 channels of the latest generation ICEpower amplifiers - a compact and highly efficient platform developed by Bang & Olufsen - and four additional class D amplifiers - all customized for BeoLab 90s specific requirements. In total, the amplifiers can deliver up to 8200 was per loudspeaker.

FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION BeoLab 90 is designed according to the overall idea that form follows function. The loudspeaker driver positions and orientations are defined by the acoustical requirements. The placement of the electronics’ cooling fins was chosen to ensure that the rising heat could have no impact on the sound experience. The design is based on a complex aluminium cabinet totaling more than 65 kg, so the structure is rock solid. In a subtle contrast to the massiveness of the loudspeakers, the outer ‘skin’ is made of acoustically transparent fabric stretched like sails hovering in front of the driver units. The curved wooden base visually lis up the large structure from the floor, making BeoLab 90 appear to float in your home.

Like no one else. www.bang-olufsen.com/en/sound/ loudspeakers/beolab-90

GUNS SINCE 1814, JAMES PURDEY & SONS HAVE BEEN PERFECTING THE ART OF THE ‘BEST’ LONDON GUN. Order a hand-craed Purdey shotgun or rifle, and you are joining a tradition of gunmaking excellence that goes back over two centuries. Our Founder, James Purdey the Elder, was apprenticed as a gunmaker in 1798. Aer joining Master gunsmith Joseph Manton, he went on to forge a gunmaking dynasty that would surpass all others.

A Purdey ‘Best’ gun is a gun that cannot be beered. No extra time or expense can bring further improvement. From the very first measurement, it is designed to perfection Gun fiing One of the joys of owning a Purdey is the knowledge that, from the very first fiing, every element of the gun has been made entirely for you. When placing your order for a Purdey gun, you set in train a process of hand-craing that may take up to two years to complete.

| 114 |

The fit To properly understand your requirements, we’ll arrange to take you to the West London Shooting Ground where we’ve been fiing our customers since the 1930s. There, you’ll be fied with a ‘trygun’, and spend time shooting as we take your stock dimensions. The try-gun has an articulated and fully adjustable stock, allowing fine alterations to be made by the instructor, in order to achieve the perfect fit.

If time does not allow, we can take your stock dimensions in the Long Room at Audley House, where we use an electric try-gun originally devised by Harry Lawrence, to aid the convalescence of King George V. When you visit us in Audley House, you will also have the opportunity to select the walnut stock blank that will be used for your gun.

Type of Gun The first thing you want to consider is what gauge of shotgun you want. There are many types to choose from: 10, 12, 16, 20, 28 or .410. The smaller the gauge, the larger the size (i.e. 12 gauge is a larger cartridge than a 20 gauge).

“It should always be remembered that the best grade gun is built from the start to the customer's exact requirements. Every detail is studied to suit the shooter” www.purdey.com/guns-rifles/

The barrel length of the gun is another consideration when buying a shotgun. This is reflective of your sport.
