Just 31 examples of a Bugatti EB110 with scissor doors were created. Of those 31 cars, just two were then enhanced by German tuner Brabus.

If there was such a thing as a 'pedestrian watch' at A. Lange & Sohne then it would surely be one of their "more basic" watches priced under $50,000 like this 1815 Up/Down. Anything over that simply could not be considered "ordinary." There of course is jest in my words as A. Lange & Sonhe is among the most exclusive high-end brands in the world that given their volume...... read more »The article A.

Here at the Luxury Spot it’s our job to keep up with trends, even if they are stupid. I’ll be the first to admit that I just don’t understand the steampunk trend. Dressing like a Victorian robot doesn’t really make sense to me, and there is nothing inherently sexy about a laboratory filled with copper pipes. That being said, steampunk decor isn’t nearly as offensive as steampunk fashion, especially if done correctly. There are ways to subtly add hints of steampunk without going full-on Doctor Frankenstein. A few rusted iron lighting fixtures or machinery-inspired knick-knacks are a great way to implement the idea without going overboard. As for decorating an entire space in this trend, its only okay if you own a gastropub in the Lower East. So whether you just want to add a touch of industry to your interior, or actually do own a gastropub in NYC, here are some examples of steampunk interiors done right.

“Only Watch” is a biennial charity auction of one-of-a-kind watches created by many of the most renowned watch brands in Switzerland.  This exceptional event is held every two years in Monaco during the Monaco Yacht Show and is under the patronage of HSH Prince Albert II.   All the proceeds from Only Watch go to support Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy research which is why many of these watches go extraordinarily high prices.  This year’s event is September 28, 2013, and the auction will be conducted by Antiquorum. Starting today Perpetuelle will begin its coverage of Only Watch 2013 — now the third year in which we have covered this noble event (review my Only Watch 2011 coverage here, and my limited coverage from the 2009 event here, or view my Only Watch stream ordered by date, here).  For 2013, 38 of the world’s leading watch manufactures will each donate a timepiece specially created for the occasion.  As is the tradition, each piece that is donate is one-of-a-kind. Stay tuned in because over the next few months, you will get to see some superb “unique” watches from each of the participating brands for the 2013 event.   The master list will be posted here and updated regularly.  You can also read more at http://www.onlywatch.com/ © Perpetuelle, 2013. | Serving Up New Luxury and Avant-Garde Timepieces Daily.

Written by Chaz NashHublot presented its second Antikythera mechanism watch this year, the Antikythera SunMoon; and as complex as it may appear upon first glance, well, it’s all Greek.Hublot Tribute to Antikythera Mechanism WatchHublot returned to Baselworld this year with a sleek and streamlined Antikythera SunMoon watch which is more stunning than the first Antikythera mechanism inspired timepiece presented last year. Hublot manufactured the four piece limited edition tributary Antikythera mechanism timepiece last year, and dared to venture yet again with another production of the inspirational Antikythera mechanism in Antikythera SunMoon.Explaining the technical functions of Antikythera SunMoon is a bit of an overwhelming process, however the basic gist of this incredible watch is that it not only provides the time of day, it is also capable of determining the solar year of any given day, the phase of the Moon, it’s shape in the sky on that given day as well as the name of the constellation behind the Moon.Antikythera SunMoon features both Sun and Moon indications and has 295 components with seven functions. Functions include a both solar and lunar calendar, and indications displaying the sidereal position of the Sun and the Moon, which allows not only the ability to accurately read time, but also the ability to determine the phase of the moon, its shape, the constellations behind it, and the time required for the moon (and sun) to pass through the constellations.Antikythera SunMoon has a distinctive square-shaped case with an incorporated circular dial. It features a flying tourbillon, without ball bearing, which rotates once every minute to indicate the seconds, with the hours and minutes shown by traditional hands at the center of the movement on the dial side. It has a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz) and also has an extensive 120-hour power reserve.Antikythera SunMoon’s movement has two winding crowns at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock. The crown at 3 o’clock is for winding and setting time. The first position winds the movement’s mainspring, and the second position sets both hours and minutes in both directions.The second crown at 9 o’clock has only one position which is used to scroll through the lunisolar calendar in both directions.Seems like quite a bit of information for just one watch, however, this information merely scratches the fusion of the technically engineered surface of Antikythera SunMoon complications. Antikythera SunMoon is a limited edition timepiece of only 20 pieces and as such will not be available for long.For more information about Antikythera SunMoon visit Hublot’s website.
