Bovet Readies Itself To Launch In-House Mechanism For Its Luxe Watches
Bovet has made a name for itself in the luxury watch market especially since it was purchased by Pascal Raffy in 2000. It has kept a very consistent stream of manufacturing 2000 watches every year without losing out on the quality and exclusivity of the brand. And in all fairness, they have done a pretty good job for themselves. The timepieces that they make are classy and extremely elegant with a rather affordable price tag. But Bovet is not one to rest on its laurels for it has just decided to raise its production to 4000 watches a year in the near future.
That said, Bovet is keeping very busy trying to develop its own in-house made movement. A very ambitious endeavor this one is. For starters, the brand is a modest level of production. The work has befun but it will be 2013 by the time this mechanism is expected to be ready and perfected before production.
The picture above is not necessarily of the new mechanism. In fact, these are examples of the craft Bovet specializes in. From what we have seen in the past, the brand will indeed be able to win us over in the future.

Terminator-Style DUU Concept Is A Killer Of A Motorbike
Whether we like it or not, but there is always a decently huge market for daredevil bikes. There have been several examples of these machines with huge and almost apocalyptic wheelies that can scare the hell out of all those who do not particularly fancy the Gothic way of life. But that might change with the DUU Concept. This one is a hand-built naked ride which wonderfully combines a sporty European rolling chassic pattern with a rather muscular American style engine.
Yep, the very same engine is a 1.9 liter and this X-Wedge was supplied by famous engine makers S&S. A powrplant chassis is wrapped around the bike which the makers claim can be tailored to suit the specific needs of the customer. That said, they haven’t really specified the breadth of the customization except the choice of single or two-seater versions, which could have shed some light on lot of matters.
Anyways, you can start placing your orders because CR&S ha splans to start building them next year. Pay $30,000 to own this Terminator style machine. A perfect companion for the new times awaiting you.

Pharos Marine Is A Luxury That The Egyptian Kings Missed Out On
Pharos Marine, as the name suggests, this deisgn studio does come from the land of the pharoahs and the pyramids that the entire world has been so charmed by since ages. And now this organisation has discussed its plans of creating an all new 60 meter superyacht that mankind will learn to know as the Orcageno. Do not fret, this one will not be housing remains of any of the dead Egyptian kings. The reason it is creating so much buzz is the fact that it is eco-friendly because of running on a hydrogen diesel-electric system.
There is a rather advanced slender hull form with an axe bow in the superyacht that offers a lower resistance due to a low angle of entrance. An extremely useful sea-keeping technique indeed. A range if 13,000 nautical miles can be achieved by the Orcageno. It also has very high safety standards to match which work great even in unfailing conditions during loading and consumption of hydrogen fuel.
Again, the Orcageno has a system that ensures safety at all times. It is ashutdown emergency system which comes into action just in case any hydrogen gas leakage occurs. While working on hydrogen mode, it can reach more than 3,500 nautical miles keeping a speed of 10 knots. It is capable of coming to 1,800 nautical miles keeping a speed of 18 knots.

Miu Miu Offers An Interesting Interpretation Of The Multicolored Python
Traditionally, boots have always meant to keeping you warm through the coldest times of the year. Then came the rather overwhelming fashion sense that drove shoemakers to make them look good. And it was Nancy Sinatra who followed suit with her ‘almost a paradigm’ like song, These Boots Are Made for Walkin. But now, all these paradigms will experience a major shift. Miu Miu has launched a pair of boots that will not necessarily fight the cold for you nor would you wanna rough out the weather in them (or should we say, fluttering in society dos is more like the course of action you’d wanna undertake). All this without the slightest sound of complain.
Take a look at these knee high boots by the trendy fashion brand started by Prada for the young and spunky women out there. And these spell glam thanks to a heavy adornment of Swarovski crystals on the heel. Then there are the sexy cutouts all along the shape of the boot.
As for the toe, it has been distinctly kept a shade of crem to contrast with the purple and silver accents on the boots. All this tries to represent the glamor of a multicolored python. A very interesting interpretation, of you ask us. Price is big at $1,720.
