What’s hot<br />
The All-new Nubeo<br />
Inspired by ‘Black Mamba’, Kobe Byrant’s nickname (the best basketball player in<br />
the world), the Swiss brand Nubeo has launched an innovative collection<br />
combining state-of-the-art technology and the blending of materials. Like its<br />
namesake, the new watch is attractive and dangerous and defies any pre-established<br />
notions about sports watches. It combines advanced construction techniques with a<br />
once-in-a-lifetime design. The basic version of the Black Mamba will be launched<br />
in a limited edition of 810 pieces. This figure refers to the 81 points scored by Kobe<br />
Bryant on 22 January 2006 when playing against the Toronto Raptors. His<br />
performance that evening is recorded in NBA history as the second highest point<br />
total ever recorded by an individual in a single game.<br />
Class act<br />
Like the cars that made the name<br />
famous, Porsche Design’s products are a<br />
magical blend of breathtaking lines,<br />
masculine styling, and high end<br />
technology; in this case, from the<br />
telecoms firm Sagem. The P´9522 comes<br />
with a sensor to identify the user by<br />
their fingerprint, and the entire housing<br />
is milled from a single solid aluminium<br />
block. Match that with a scratchresistant<br />
screen in mineral glass and the<br />
distinctive, timeless design, and you<br />
have another instant Porsche classic.<br />
Star<br />
struck<br />
Jacob Arabo, watchmaker and jeweller<br />
to the likes of David Beckham, Bono,<br />
Madonna and Naomi Campbell, has<br />
surpassed himself again. The Ruby<br />
Baguette Tourbillon is a timepiece that<br />
blazes with aesthetic style; that much is<br />
obvious. But it does so thanks to some<br />
truly unique engineering, which few but<br />
the most discerning and learned eyes<br />
might notice. The face of the Baguette<br />
Tourbillon has been set with absolutely<br />
none of its 18k white gold visible,<br />
ensuring maximum exposure for its<br />
hundreds of rubies – 204 of which sit<br />
on the dial, with another 294 on the<br />
bezel and case. It means that the grand<br />
total of more than 39 carats of brilliant<br />
red precious stones is allowed to shine<br />
unhindered, for maximum<br />
appreciation.<br />
