Is The Acoustic Resonance Massage Chair Worth $7,000?

 

acoustic resonance massage chair

Eminem believes that music can alter moods and talk to you and most anyone else would agree with him. But Hammacher Schlemmer went a few steps ahead and decided that music need not only relate to our mental well being but can also help in the area of our physical health.

The Acoustic Resonance Massage Chair has 30 plain and 30 wound piano strings in brass enmeshing the back of the chair. Inspired by medieval Scandinavian cradles that used the same concept to soothe babies to sleep, the German musical chair requires the user to hire some talented fingers to play the harp. The vibration from the strings produces not just beautiful clear melodies but also sends vibrations all through the chair giving the person residing on it a great massage all the way to the fingertips.

Unfortunately, the chair would be absolutely useless for someone who doesn’t have friends with any musical talent who would be willing to spend their time sitting around trying to give you a kinky massage with no contact. Take all the romance and fun out of your massages with ,000.

Octo Place de l’Etolie by Gerald Genta, A Beautiful Tribute

gerald-genta-octo-place-de-letoile-watch

Well, we do know what you pretty ladies might say when you look at the Octo Place de l’Etolie by Gerald Genta. Yes, it is a wide watch at 39mm but that should not stop you from trying out this bold beauty. Trust us, it makes a strong beautiful statement in its 18K red gold case, mauve strap and diamond studs.

Your eye will first stop at the signature Gerald Genta retrograde minute hand that comes with a jumping hour indicator aperture. Yes,  the minute hand only travels across the top half of the dial starting at point zero and then progresses to point sixty. Next step, it jumps to zero instantly.

The design of the watch they say is ‘perspective’ (wonder what they mean by the high-sounding word). But we do know the famous Place de l’Etolie in Paris which lends the watch its name. Apparently, the timepiece is dedicated to the same. In fact, one is amazed to see the watch capture the famous convergance of three roads at the Place de l’Etolie in its design. 199 diamonds line the dial and bezel making it a true jewelry watch.

A Lapdawg You Had Been Waiting For So Long

lapdawg

We were wondering that it’s high time someone came up with a cool method to allow effective use of a laptop in the comfort of one’s bed without undue ergonomic stress. Better known as available versions like Laptop Laidback, Laptop Wizard or Lapdawg X4, this set up of adjustable trays lets you enjoy some reclined computing.

Like we mentioned, the Lapdawg X4 (yeah, we like this one the best and the coolest) comes with support trays that can easily be adjusted to achieve the right angle and height for convenient laptop handling. So much so that it even lets you position your arms with elbows at right angles with support from the bed or sofa surface that Lapdawg is propped on to. I think we all will agree that none can work all day in that position but it definitely will be comfortable for a few several hours.

Aptly referred to as “the Swiss army knife of laptop stands”, Lapdawg X4 is a great multi-purpose transformable table tray that lets you be better organised. Yes, eating, studying, writingm computing all included that too in your preferred comfort zone. It weighs only 5.29 lbs and comes in a handy carrying case too.

makes a great laptop-desk

Belle Époque Gets Fit For Home Use Too

elektrabelleepoque

Expect Italian expresso makers Elektra to come with a coffee making masterpiece that will just compel you to fall in love with it. With 61 years of hardwork and brand loyalty preceeding them, Elektra has just launched the home version of the renowned Belle Époque which has been prided by artisanal cafes all across Italy.

So, the famous copper and brass machine has now been hand-hammered, welded and polished for a mirror finish. Standing atop the whole structure is a brass eagle. Good news is that it produces 15 bars of pressure, unlike the 9 bars of commercial espresso makers, to reveal rich and creamy cuppa coffee.
Everything is automatic right from maintaining the correct pressure to keeping the right temperature to extract maximum flavor from the coffee beans. The water reservoir can hold water enought for 60 espressos. So, go ahead and bask in the compliments of your new cosy coffee corner at home. By the way, keep ,000 aside for this one.

Say no to Gold Cards, Get a Diamond Credit Card!

inreuterscom
If you are tired of those salesmen hounding you with those annoying calls to buy gold or platinum credit card, why not shut their mouth by saying you have a diamond card, and no less? Well, the Eurasian bank in Kazakhstan is offering a diamond card which literally has a 0.02 karat diamond in it and is offered to consumers with 0,000 or more in their banks as annual income.

Kazakhstan has suffered a lot due to economic crisis and the growth rate has come down and hence the bank is offering the card to international clients as well. The card looks chic, elegant and of course expensive.

Perhaps it is time for you to say let me swipe my diamond, instead of swiping your card. You would no longer have to feel embarrassed of using credit cards as this card is given to only exclusive customers.

Even wanted to mush in the midst of the city or in the park? Were you told that dogs could pull sledges only near the arctic? Well, now here is something cheeky. The Dog Powered Scooters are funny, interesting ad of course green. You could take your expensive Dalmatian to power your bike/trike when you are in the park.

Save Space, Get Healthy!

pic_3499

Here is how you could add some elegance to your living room and also save some space in your chic penthouse. You could buy a computer desk, an armoire, a bench and a treadmill all at the cost of 99. They all come in a single set and complement each other. Made of solid hardwood and retractable cord, the set looks amazingly rich and elegant. The weight bench will allow you to stay healthy and can easily save space.

The treadmill could be easily attached and would complement the rest of the furniture and weight bench. All the pieces of furniture and weight reduction instruments are made from the highest quality materials available and they have been designed in such a way that it adds a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’ to the ambience of your house.

This probably is the best way to look good, and also keep you house neat and tidy all at the same time.
