The World's Top Luxury Toys for Men
Filed under: Timepieces / Watches, Yachts & Sailing, Luxury Cars & Autos, Wings, Books, Wealth
What are the world's top luxury toys for men? Uber-luxe German publisher teNeues has the answer with its newest super-sized volume, Luxury Toys: For Men. The awesome Aston Martin One-77, so named because of its limited 77-example run and $1.7 million pricetag, appears on the cover.
Other supercars that make the cut, including the Audi R8 GT, Rolls-Royce Ghost, Jaguar XKR Special Edition, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S Awards Edition, and Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible. Quite the garage.
Covering transportation, style, accessories and dream vacations, the massive 220-page volume features 138 giant full-color photographs and text in English, German, French, Spanish, and Italian. Not based merely on price, the selections show how "emotion and finesse can be combined with spectacular aesthetic purity."
Piaget Launches Limelight Garden Party Collection
Filed under: Jewelry, Luxury Shopping
With a series of events that included the Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica, a Champagne toast at their New York boutique, and an outdoor celebration in Palm Beach, Piaget launched their spring-themed Limelight Garden Party collection.In New York, the Piaget boutique on Fifth Avenue took on a terrarium look for the evening's event, with the collection set in cases decorated to look like a wood nymph's jewelry box.
Cradled amongst the various faux flora, 18-white gold pieces sparkled under the display lights.
A miniature, diamond-encrusted bird perched itself on a ring, seemingly ready to dip its beak into a cushion-cut rubellite gem. Other birds perched on a white gold sprig of diamonds and pearls, while a floral ring bloomed diamonds, emeralds and pink sapphires. One necklace's 289 brilliant-cut diamonds seems to represent drops of dew caught on a diaphanous spider web. Another sprouted buds of pink tourmaline and pink sapphires, reminders that spring is, finally, here at least.

Bremont BC-Solo Watch
Filed under: Timepieces / Watches
The BC-SOLO is an easy to love watch with a clear dial. I only wish that the hands were a bit longer. The case will come matched to a black or brown leather strap and be available starting in July. Price will be $3,950.

Union Glashutte Belisar Big Date Carbon Fiber Dial Watch
Filed under: Timepieces / Watches
At 41mm wide the case is in steel (water resistant to 100 meters), with PVD coated black side panels and a sporty perforated leather strap (that is well-integrated into the case design). The dial is easy to read with applied hour markers and well-sized hands. They are also coated with SuperLumiNova under the AR coated sapphire crystal. Inside the watch is an ETA 2896 big date automatic movement - which is thin and has a great layout. I just am really impressed by the no-BS good looking design that isn't boring, but it still easy to live with. Price is set to be 1,950 euros. Look for this Union Glashutte watch soon.

Hanhart Pioneer Collection MonoControl Watch
Filed under: Timepieces / Watches
Other models in the Pioneer collection include two similarly designed (without the rotating coined edge bezel) bi-compax chronograph watches with two chronograph pushers (called the Pioneer TwinControl and TwinDicator). The MonoControl has a base Swiss ETA Valjoux 7750 movement that Hanhart themselves modifies for the layout and mono-pusher system. The steel case is 42mm wide with a rotating bezel and silver or black colored dial with SuperLumiNova on the hands and Arabic hour numerals. I love the vintage pilot watch theme. At first glance this watch could easily be a Tutima. Though that little red cap on the chronograph pusher tells you it is a Hanhart. Look for it soon.

Filed under: Timepieces / Watches, Men's Style, The Classicist
Project X Designs, the London-based Rolex customizer whose fans include "James Bond" star Daniel Craig, has come out with three new military-inspired "stealth" designs based on the classic Rolex Submariner and Rolex Explorer. The cool new models pay homage to Agent 007, the legendary British Special Boat Service (SBS) and military issue Submariners of 1950s – 1970s, original models of which fetch a small fortune at auction.
RSW Outland Round Watch For 2011
Filed under: Timepieces / Watches
The case is steel and can be had PVD coated black. You can also get a gem-set version (though I have no idea why you'd want to with a design like this). I love the chronograph with its digital style numerals and bold design. The disc based version might just be weirder than the original, and fans of the design might just love that.

Harley Davidson x Bell & Ross Bespoke Superbike
Filed under: Timepieces / Watches, Luxury Cars & Autos
Bell & Ross watches and the UK's leading Harley-Davidson customizer have teamed up on a bespoke superbike inspired by Bell & Ross' beautiful timepieces. The Nascafe Racer modified by Shaw Harley-Davidson applies Bell & Ross' principles of impeccable performance, precision and engineering. The way that the master watchmakers develop and assemble their timepieces was reflected by the Shaw Harley-Davidson master technicians when building the bike, which is based on the "long, low and naked" Harley-Davidson FXSTB Softail Nightrain.
To begin with the motorcycle was totally stripped down to every last nut and bolt. The Shaw Speed and Custom team then mounted a Bell & Ross BR 01 Carbon timepiece in a handcrafted center console using a machined section of aluminum. A combination of anodized blue, carbon and stealth-like matte black custom paint was then used on the bike to reflect the watch's design, along with Bell & Ross logo detailing. The compelling creation was unveiled at the London International Custom Bike Show.

Christophe Claret 21 Blackjack Watch For Casino Game Lovers
Filed under: Timepieces / Watches
Massively complicated, the 21 Blackjack has a brand new Christophe Claret movement in it called the BLJ08. It has 501 hand finished parts and two barrels with a 72 hour power reserve. But what really matters is that in addition to the time it lets you play three games. Which games? I am not 100% sure how they will all work, but it will be blackjack, dice, and roulette. The dice game is on the side of the case (which probably has a mechanical dice toss randomizer), and there are images of cards on disc under the smoky sapphire dial. You can probably play blackjack with yourself and the watch is the dealer. You can now lose money to a watch you'll probably have to spend well over half a million dollars for. If you like, you can get the dial as a solid piece of onyx with windows for the game indicators.
Franc Vila Selenity Master Quantième Automatique Watch
Filed under: Timepieces / Watches
As you can see, the large steel case is offered with optional diamond decor on the inner bezel as wel as for the two screws on the bezel. On the back of the case is a view to the gold rotor for the automatic movement. The straps are available as either purple or pink alligator. While large sized for many women, Franc Vila does offer an interesting concept and shape that looks flattering on the wrist.
