Blackjack Watch

Luxist: Massively complicated, the 21 Blackjack has a brand new Christophe Claret movement in it called the BLJ08. It has 501 hand finished parts and two barrels with a 72 hour power reserve. But what really matters is that in addition to the time it lets you play three games. Which games? I am not 100% sure how they will all work, but it will be blackjack, dice, and roulette. The dice game is on the side of the case (which probably has a mechanical dice toss randomizer), and there are images of cards on disc under the smoky sapphire dial. You can probably play blackjack with yourself and the watch is the dealer. You can now lose money to a watch you’ll probably have to spend well over half a million dollars for. If you like, you can get the dial as a solid piece of onyx with windows for the game indicators.

Life on the Water

This is a project that sets a new standard of life on water. The innovative concept has overturned the concept of a traditional home and puts living in the classical sense up for discussion, presenting a new dynamic and contemporary vision. It creates a completely new lifestyle and offers people to live wherever they want and in which way they want.

This is a modular concept that combines the dynamics and elegance of a boat with a refined living area on at least two levels. It is made up of various interchangeable modules which can be fitted and connected to each other in many different ways. Within limits the craft can be designed in full by the customer (length, height, interior design and the number and sizes of the rooms).

It can be equipped with state of the art electric engines and solar panels. This, combined with a water system that represents the finest level of liquid filtration, makes it totally self supporting. It makes it possible to enjoy your floating life anywhere you wish.

It is designed by Marcello Ligabue, produced by Teknokat Marine S.r.l. and is available in two basic versions: 48 (one deck) and the 59 (two decks). It can be delivered fully furnished or casco,

Dunhill’s Biometric Wallet

Luxist: The wallet has traditionally been a low-tech device but not anymore as biometrics is changing the way we carry money. Dunhill has come out with their own version of the Biometric Wallet that promises to keep your money, id, and credit cards safe from thieves even if they pick your pocket. A carbon fiber exterior keeps things light but unbreakable while a biometric finger-print lock keeps the contents under wraps to all but the owner. And for even more high-tech protection you can connect the wallet to your cell phone via Bluetooth and get an alert if the wallet finds itself too far for comfort (i.e. you’ve been robbed or dropped it somewhere).

Luring the Riches

Bornrich: Luxury air travel has suffered a crisis in the economic downturn, but the business-class passengers are still flying on cloud nine. The luxury airlines too are doing everything to make it even better for their first-class passengers. Singapore Airlines, well-known for its first class cabin with the largest seats in the sky, has now introduced a deluxe cabin, known as the “Singapore Suite.” The cabin is more lavish, and more exclusive, than first class on all Singapore Airline A380 aircraft, the world’s largest passenger plane. The suites feature a standalone bed; not one converted from a seat, a lavish armchair hand-stitched by master Italian craftsmen Poltrona Frau, a full length wardrobe, a 23-inch TV monitor and a selection of more than 700 music CDs and 120 movies, gourmet dining, with travelers allowed to choose from Don Perignon or Krug champagne. For couples, a double bed can be configured.
