ACQUA DI C TRIBUTO A M
THE GUINNESS WORLD RECOR HIGHEST PRICE WATER BOTTL Designer Fernando Altamirano, who previously dressed Cognac Dudognon Heritage Henri IV in the most expensive cognac bole in the world, recently sold his newly-designed water bole for $60,000, winning his second Guinness record for the highest priced bole sold at auction. Proceeds for the sale were donated to a foundation to stop global warning. The most expensive water bole in the world contains water from springs in France, Fiji, and a glacier in Iceland. Oh, and then there's 5 milligrams of 23 K gold dust sprinkled in the water. The Modigliani-like sculptured bole of The World's Most Expensive Water Bole Acqua di Cristallo "Tributo a Modigliani," is rather exquisite. This solid gold version is the bole that sold for $60,000, but its regular price is only $3,600. Fieen percent of proceeds from all sales of the boles will be donated to global warming causes.

Anemones Grand Vase Among flowers, the anemone, a symbol of purity and innocence, particularly inspired René Lalique, which he then made the centerpiece of many jewels and decorative objects. In 1912, he designed a vase displaying a motif of anemone in blue patinated glass, fashioned in “cire perdue”. With the Anemone collection, Lalique gives a fresh insight into this creation transfigured to vases available in several sizes and colours, bowls, perfume boles, and votives. Fashioned in satin-finished and re-polished crystal, emblematic of Lalique, the flowers are juxtaposed in a graphics play on repetition, capturing the ephemeral beauty of flowers. • Numbered edition, clear crystal and black enamelled • Dimensions: H 19.29" x D 12.60" (H 49 cm x D 32 cm) • Weight: 35.27 lbs (16 kg) • Numbered edition, piece delivered with a certificate of authenticity mentioning its number • Handcraed in France Numbered edition, clear crystal and black enamelled € 14,500.00

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 laer 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 craed, and so finely tuned that it can deliver the ultimate sound experience no maer 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 seings, and regardless of its placement, the room or your listening position it will give you mind-blowing sound.
| 16 |
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 fied 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 was 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 lis 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-craed 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. Aer 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 beered. No extra time or expense can bring further improvement. From the very first measurement, it is designed to perfection Gun fiing One of the joys of owning a Purdey is the knowledge that, from the very first fiing, 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-craing that may take up to two years to complete.
| 32 |
The fit To properly understand your requirements, we’ll arrange to take you to the West London Shooting Ground where we’ve been fiing our customers since the 1930s. There, you’ll be fied 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.
