The HM3 Megawind

Ladies and Gentlemen .. this is - A WRISTWATCH!
So you like watches? Maybe own a Rolex, Breitling or Omega? How about a MB&F? If you know what we are talking about, you are a true watch aficionado.

This Swiss brand (MB&F stands for Maximilian Büsser and friends) stands out of the crowd due to their ingenuity and insight, creating high-end watches that both look stunning and bring something new to the table.

The watch you see here is the HM3 Megawind. Derived from their iconic HM3 series, Megawind features a giant 22k gold and titanium winding rotor with highly legible time indication cones rising up from the complex asymmetric case, like truncated gold-framed monoliths. Rotating within their twin told and sapphire crystal frustums, the cones display hours (left) and minutes (right), with the time clearly visible from both the large numbers on the sides of the cones as well as duplicate indications of their flat caps. Power is nothing without control and Megawind offers a perfectly harmonious balance of the two.

MEGAWIND is available in red gold with a 22k red gold rotor or white gold with a sky-blue 22k gold rotor, or the Final Edition, a limited edition of 25 pieces in black PVD-treated 18k white gold and titanium, with Super-LumiNova numerals and band under the rotor.

Oh, right, the price. We are looking at a little less than $100,000.

The Koenigsegg Regera

Losing your driver's license has never been so easy!
The wait is over! And we got what we wanted: The world's most powerful hybrid supercar. Yes, Christian von Koenigsegg has done it again!

The Regera uses a hybrid drivetrain, albeit one completely unlike anything we’ve seen before. It uses both a twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V-8 engine and three electric motors for a total combined output of 1.11 megawatts, which converts to 1509 metric horsepower.

Koenigsegg claims the 0-to-400-kph (249 mph) acceleration time of less than 20 seconds makes the Regera—Swedish for “to reign”—the fastest-accelerating car in the world. We also heard 3.2 seconds between 150 to 250 km/h but there is no official 0-100 time ... yet.

Just 80 examples of the Koenigsegg Regera will be built.  The price tag? We heard little less than $2 Million.

Black Diamond Nail Polish by Azature

The Most Expensive Nail Polish In The World
"Excuse me?" That's what we heard the most when we told people about "Black Diamond," the most expensive nail polish in the world. Why? Well - this nail polish by Azature has 267 carats worth of black diamonds. And costs $250,000 a bottle. A BOTTLE! That's a quarter of a million dollars!

But there's good news: While the $250,000 is created for the one-percent of even the uber-rich, there is also a cheaper version that will contain only one real black diamond and will retail for just $25 for a 0.5oz/15ml bottle.

Miracle Pine Pen

Limited Edition Montblanc Fountain Pen

Luxury marque Montblanc is to sell fountain pens made from a "miracle pine" tree that survived the 2011 tsunami. It was the only tree left standing when a forest of 70,000 was flattened in Rikuzentakata, on Japan's stricken northeastern coast.

When the city finally had to cut down the dying tree, the mayor asked the Japanese unit of the Swiss company to use salvaged wood to make pens to ensure the "disaster remains in people's minds."

Montblanc has made 113 pens -- the figure reflects the 11th of March date of the disaster -- which will go on sale on the fourth anniversary for 520,000 yen ($4,400) each, an official says, with 20 percent of takings being given to the city.

Crealev Floating Lamps

The Magic of Magnets
No, this is not an illusion. The only thing between the shade of this lamp and its base is ... air.

What makes this lamp floating is  a cleverly camouflaged magnetic disc that floats more than an inch above the base and supports the lightweight lamp shade. The Crealev lamps, designed by Angela Jansen and manufactured and distributed through Crealev, also employs the very latest LED technology for a very low power consumption. And with a touch of your fingertip, the lamp can be dimmed to the intensity you require.

Dutch Lab Brewing Machines

The Art of Making Coffee

The Dutch Lab - a South Korean design studio that takes brewing the perfect Java to the next level! Their cold-brew coffee towers are sculptures, pieces of art inspired by architectural landmarks across the globe. But there is more to it. A lot more!

"Deep inside unexpectedly high degrees of the hot fire, a shaped sculpture is born from a shapeless object through a process of manufacture and polish."

Coffee, one essential part of many people’s daily and busy lives. New discoveries are always in the search for a better taste and efficiency of coffee for its consumers.

The methods of coffee-making vary from requiring expensive materials and tools to cheap and fast home made techniques. But the difference of the quality of these two extremes varies as much as its methods do.

This is where Dutch Lab took action.

Bellperre Touch

The Luxury Smartphone

So you drive the luxury car, have some serious bling on your wrist ... but your smartphone looks like every other cellphone out there.
Sure, you may have a nice case, but there are very few phones that really set you apart from the rest.

Introducing ... Bellperre (Netherlands) who just recently released their "Touch" cellphone.

The Touch is made from 316L stainless steel and features a 4.9 inch display covered by sapphire crystal. Customers can order their device by choosing from American buffalo or alligator leather in a variety of colors (Bellperre says it has plans to produce the handset in 73 different colors, which is pretty impressive). The leather strip below the device’s display will also offer touch controls.

The specs...

LG Watch Urbane

A classic Look with modern day Features

Here it is: The LG Watch Urbane, the companies maiden foray into the luxury smart watch world. And with its all-metal construction and attention to detail it sure draws some attention.

We will have to wait for MWC 2015 to get all the details, all we know at this point is that the Android device will be available with a gold and silver finish and that it features a 1.3" P-OLED display with a 320 x 320 resolution and a 245ppi pixel density.

The LG Watch Urbane comes with a stitched leather band that can be replaced by any 22mm wide strap.

Perhaps the biggest question on our minds is just how much the device will retail for. Well, LG's press release fails to include pricing of the timepiece... but we hear it will be around $450.
