Aimashi limited edition square towel
Bali Barret, the creative director of the Silk Department, who has never lacked the inspiration of Hermes, visited the charity fund of the late master painter Josef Albers this year, focusing on the painter's "Praise of the Square" series of paintings, which prompted her to think that Hermes is also a company obsessed with squares, even though it produces square scarves. Affected by this "coincidence", Hermes launched a limited number of 1200 silk scarves with Apos paintings for the first time in the world. Barrett worked closely with Pierre Aiexis Dumas, director of the Art Department, and selected six paintings by Apos, all of which belong to the "Praise of the Square" series. Each scarf is limited to 200 pieces, all of which adopt a new and expensive printing technology called "Edge to Egde", and all of them are limited to 65,438+0,200 pieces.
There is no doubt that "Fanggong" silk scarves have become the focus of this year's collection, and some cities in Asia and Europe have been unable to order them, such as Tokyo and Taipei. People who don't know may say, how can several squares with different colors be masterpieces of art? Whether it is painted or printed on a silk scarf, nothing is particularly surprising. Perhaps this is the biggest puzzle that art poses to everyone. Different eyes see different artistic standards and artistic appeal. As the world's first luxury brand of silk scarves, Emma's choice is the artistic "target" brought to the world this year.
Atmos56 1
Air clock
Only time represents eternity, and the temperature is always changing, which Jaeger-LeCoultre, a Swiss watch manufacturer, knows better than anyone.
This year coincides with the 0/75th anniversary of Jaeger-LeCoultre brand/KLOC-and the 80th anniversary of its original "air clock". To commemorate this significant year, Jaeger-LeCoultre teamed up with marc newson, a leading Australian industrial design figure, to redesign the latest air clock Atmos56 1.
Eighty years ago, the only clock in the history of clocks and watches that got power from the air was born in Jaeger-LeCoultre. Its designer is Swiss Jean Leon Root. Up to today, the principle of "air clock" has not changed, and it still relies on the change of temperature to power the mechanical alarm clock: the whole clock body is actually a closed container filled with a mixture of liquid chloroethane and gas, which is sensitive to temperature change within a certain temperature range: when the temperature changes, it contracts when the temperature drops. So the gas will compress the coil spring when the temperature rises, and the spring will relax when the temperature drops, thus tightening the spring. The temperature varies from 15 to 30 degrees Celsius, and 1 degrees Celsius can make Atmos56 1 run for 2 days. In fact, it seems more appropriate to call the "air clock" a "temperature clock" because it depends on the change of temperature, but for 80 years, the Swiss have stubbornly called it an "air clock" and said that it is a "clock that exists by air".
In design, Newsom replaced the "air clock" 80 years later with a bubble-shaped bell shell (pictured) made by crystal manufacturer Baccart, and emphasized the characteristics of the clock running in the air with smooth lines, which not only retained the world-famous mysterious operation principle, but also became a veritable indoor boutique decoration. In terms of function display configuration, as a fan of "air clock", Newsom has also given the clock dial a new look. Hours and minutes are displayed on the transparent clock dial, and other functions are presented through the dial: the central dial is used to display the month; At 6 o'clock, the moon phase turntable is located, and the surface number "56 1" represents the model of the internal movement. In order to present this exquisite work perfectly, Jaeger-LeCoultre also redesigned some parts of the movement to match the crystal bubble bell shell.
Newsome (pictured), 44, has rich international experience, and his outstanding design talent has been fully displayed in his daily necessities. He dabbles in a wide range of design-related fields, including furniture, daily necessities, bicycles, and interior decoration of houses, companies and restaurants. During her career as an experienced designer, newsome traveled all over the world. A few years ago, he chose to set up his own design studio in London. His works are mainly harmonious and bold arcs, and now they have become the objects of well-known private collectors and major museums around the world. Newsome, who has always been fascinated by the "air clock", contacted Jaeger-LeCoultre one day and proposed to design a new clock. Jaeger-LeCoultre was very interested in his proposal and accepted it gladly, so the limited production of these 888 works of art was born.
Atmos56 1 sells for $20,500. It embodies an extraordinary gesture in a simple way and attracts everyone's attention at once. It has become a gift designated by Swiss officials for VIPs.

Overheated weather will make the wine lack sour taste, because it contains more alcohol, is easier to oxidize and ripens much faster, especially champagne sparkling wine, which is fatal. The summer heat in 2003 killed tens of thousands of people in France, and also set the earliest record of 18 1 year-18 August. So in 2003, few wineries brewed champagne, which was a risky move, and few people liked champagne without sour taste. The same hot years also appeared in 1959 and 1976. The earliest grape picking date of 1959 was September 10, while the earliest grape picking date of 1976 was September 1. A small amount of champagne that appeared in the past two years has now become a heterogeneous pursuit of collectors.
Moet &；, the world's largest champagne brewing group with a history of 250 years; Chandon) launched the Grand Vintage 2003 champagne with the year of 2003 (pictured) this year, and the price per bottle was 60 dollars. If you want to taste the champagne under global warming, Grand Vintage 2003 is a model. Although it is uncertain whether this flavor of champagne will become a new classic taste, one thing is certain, that is, champagne with similar flavor will become more and more common in the future.
In the same year, Kruger, known as the "King of Champagne", also introduced champagne with the year of 1998 (pictured), with a price of $350 per bottle. Kulg Group was founded in 1843. It was originally a small champagne factory founded by Johann-Joseph Krug, a bartender working in other champagne factories, to meet the needs of British customers. With the continuous efforts of the family, Kurg has become synonymous with top champagne, and now it is run by Olivier Krug, the sixth generation of the family. This year, the champagne launched by Kulg Group is rich and balanced in taste, soft and rich in texture. Of course, there is no lack of sour taste that "hot champagne" lacks.

A gem rounded according to its natural shape
Natural round gemstone.
For many years, the jewelry industry has been dominated by meticulous cutting and deep metallic luster. The status of diamonds will never be challenged and will always be the center. Until this year, bright, big and round gem jewelry became popular, which brought lively, bright and bold information to this industry. These big gems include red coral, amethyst, sapphire, ruby, tourmaline and emerald, which appear in almost any design of all fashion brands or jewelry brands. On these jewels, diamonds are reduced to foil, shining with delicate light of red and green. Of course, these jewels are not only suitable for festivals, or can only bring nostalgic sadness. On the contrary, because of the bold and avant-garde design, large pieces of gem jewelry have brought more connotations beyond the 1930s. Appearing in a hot posture, natural and round gems are deeply loved by Hollywood stars and all the men and women chasing fashion trends. If you don't have the financial strength to buy the works of brand designers, you might as well go to a street shop. A dazzling array of stones, metals, resins or glass, from jewelry to clothing, from handbags to shoes, is absolutely satisfactory.

mobile phone
Luxury mobile phone
When technology collides with fashion, new products such as jewelry and mobile phones are produced. Many mobile phone brands have launched luxury mobile phones this year, including Vertu. To commemorate the anniversary of the establishment of the brand 10, this British manufacturer specializing in luxury mobile phones launched a pure gold mobile phone (pictured) this year, with a price of $36,000. The Swiss TAG Heuer Group, which originally focused on watch manufacturing, also launched its first mobile phone Meridiist this year, with a 60.5-carat sapphire embedded in its display and priced at $5,300 (pictured). Of course, the configuration of the mobile phone itself is not so good. Many people think that a mobile phone with the same configuration can be bought for less than 100 dollars, but the essence of luxury mobile phones is the combination of mobile phones and jewelry, just like the combination of watches and diamonds; This year, Armani Group and South Korea's Samsung Group launched a night-effect mobile phone (pictured), which is only sold in Europe and Asia. This mobile phone may not be as luxurious as the first two models, but its functions are very advanced.
