We have mentioned about the Home of Rolls-Royce Collection already. This exclusive collection consisting of Ghost and Phantom models will be unveiled to celebrate 10 years of production in Goodwood, England. Conceived and designed by the Rolls-Royce Bespoke team, it will be released in 2013. However we have new details and stats about the upcoming Home of Rolls-Royce Collection. The highlights of the collection are – 1) A compass motif expresses the Home of Rolls-Royce’s position as a global centre of manufacturing excellence. The beautiful motif on the glove box has been created from 11 different types of wood including Sycamore, Holly and Satinwood. These represent the different woods that have been used in Ghost and Phantom interiors since 2003. Each piece of virgin wood has been milled and sanded by hand before being carefully coated with 5 layers of lacquer. 2) 20,000 wood veneer combinations are available in every Rolls-Royce. Each veneer created by the craftsman’s hand of the Bespoke team is totally unique to the customer. All of veneers are stored in a humidor which is kept at 25 degrees and 80% humidity to allow the wood to breathe and remain supple. Each veneer spends a minimum of 3 days in the humidor, before being fitted into a Rolls-Royce. 3) While continuing to use traditional woodworking skills, the craftsmen applied lasers to ensure total precision in the alignment of each of the 170 separate pieces of wood along with the metal inlay. 4) The Home of Rolls-Royce Collection Phantom embroidery comes to life with 112,533 stitches which are applied by precision embroidery machines that make 1,000 individual stitches per minute. But due to the complexity of the pattern it takes over an hour to finish each individual piece. 5) The Spirit of Ecstasy comes from the Home of Rolls-Royce Collection cars, which highlight the exquisite craftsmanship found at Goodwood. The inscription on this special Spirit of Ecstasy references the position of their plant. 6) Each car undergoes a 22-stage process which uses more than 100 pounds (45.5kg) of paint. The Home of Rolls-Royce Collection offers 44,000 individual exterior paint colors to choose from. 7) In all, 60 pairs of hands take 400 hours to construct every Rolls-Royce motor car. 8) Also 450 individual leather pieces are cut and fitted to each Rolls-Royce Phantom. 9) And 672 metres of thread is used in every Home of Rolls-Royce Collection Phantom. 10) Lastly, there are precisely 58 layers to every Phantom wood part [Via - Rolls-Roycemotorcars] Related posts: Rolls Royce rolls out exclusive Phantom Bespoke Gulf Collection Rolls Royce to unveil a bespoke collection of cars from Home of Rolls Royce Collection Rolls Royce Phantom Spirit Of Ecstasy Centenary Collection to celebrate 100th anniversary

Today I  listened to “The Entrepreneurs” – a weekly radio show on Monocle.com on that focuses on people who run their own business or aim to. The topic was business who sell products that are meant to be re-used, mended and kept for life. One of the interviews was w. Jake Bronstein from the American menswear company, Flint And Tinder. They recently launched a project on Kickstarter that broke all records on funding for clothing. In 2 months the company became the top funding fashion project ever on Kickstarter with their very simple brand formula – Clothes locally made with a lasting value promise! “Over time, every stitch tells a story. As the years go on, this sweatshirt will become more and more unique, comfortable, recognizable and your own! Built for life and backed with a guarantee like none other” The project was to create and craft a humble hoodie that will last a lifetime, a sweater of such great quality that it even comes with free mending… Instead of buying a piece of clothing and getting tired of it. This piece of clothing comes with a quality label and value promise of update when it’s needed whether for fixing or aesthetic purposes. “It’s not that it’s so cheap that we can replace it; It’s so well made that we’ll mend it free of charge.” Their point isn’t that manufacturing must be made locally to secure quality, but that quality should be prioritized and it creates jobs in a stressed economy! …and why not go to the extend where the company takes responsibility and wants to stay involved with it’s customers while the use their premium product. They even go to the same extend with their underwear!

The supercar brand – Aston Martin is celebrating its centenary year, and what could have been more appropriate than the marque setting a new auction record in the same year. The Bonhams auction sale in Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire, UK, on May 18, made this possible, where the auctioneers set the stage to sell vintage automobiles. Here, Aston Martin reached the apex, setting a world auction record price of $4.9 million. It sold a unique 1960 DB4GT ‘Jet’ Coupe that was resourced from a deceased estate, and came to market for the first time in over 25 years. Among other vintages, the ‘Jet’ starred the event with bidders going bonkers over the sleek, black Bertone make. And why not, the coupe is a complete one off – the last DB4GT off the production line, and the only one boasting coachwork by eminent Italian design house Bertone. It debuted in Geneva 1961, alongside Jaguar’s new E-Type and has won multiple awards. Seems like the DB4’s are real crowd pullers. It’s just the previous year that we saw a 1991 Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato Sanction II Coupé sell for a record-breaking $1.9 million. In the Bonhams sale, apart from the Jet coupe, a trio of “barn find” Aston Martins – a DB4, DB5 and DB6 also put in strong performances, achieving a combined $926,816.
