"L’odyssée de Cartier"
En 1937,
Walt Disney présentait le premier long métrage. Surpris, passionné et enchanté,
le monde découvrait une nouvelle dimension cinématographique et s’échappait
grâce au grand écran. C’était à l’époque, un hommage aux contes dans un
contexte économique et social pesant.
En 2012,
Cartier émerveille, transporte, enchante. Dans un climat analogue aux années
30, la maison nous transporte grâce à une fresque cinématographique dans un
univers rythmé par l’animal emblématique de Cartier : la Panthère.
En suivant
les pas de l’animal à travers la Chine, l’Inde, la Russie et la France, nous
découvrons les multiples univers, sources d’inspiration pour les créations
Cartier. L’histoire entreprise il y a 165 ans lorsque Pierre, Louis et Jacques
donnèrent naissance à une maison reconnue à travers le monde entier passionne
toujours autant.
En suivant
le félin, les trois anneaux de Trinity, le bracelet Love et bien d’autres
pièces somptueuses dévoilent l’attachement de Cartier pour la perfection, la
créativité et son savoir-faire d’exception.
Saluant
deux ans de travail et rendant hommage à tous les artisans dans l’ombre,
"L’odyssée de Cartier" est une belle émotion, un symbole d’amour
universel…

Bob Parsons Recipe for Becoming a Billionaire
Bob Parsons
Recipe for Becoming a Billionaire
Owner of Goddady.com
Bob Parsons,
the man behind GoDaddy.com, the largest ICANN-accredited domain registrar in
the world, has got a very clear recipe for success, summarized in 16 simple
steps. How do you know if his advice is any good? By seeing what it did for
Parsons himself.
The 60 years
old entrepreneur is now very likely to become the newest dot-com billionaire in
the world. Private-equity firms SilverLake Partners and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts
are currently thinking of buying Parson’s company for a whopping $2 billion,
thus changing the man’s life forever. We guess this is a pretty good reason to
start learning his 16 steps to success. Who knows how wealthy you’ll end up in
a couple of years?
1. Get and stay out of your
comfort zone.
I believe
that not much happens of any significance when we’re in our comfort zone. I
hear people say, “But I’m concerned about security.” My response to that is
simple: “Security is for cadavers.”
2. Never give up.
Almost nothing
works the first time it’s attempted. Just because what you’re doing does not
seem to be working, doesn’t mean it won’t work. It just means that it might not
work the way you’re doing it. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it, and
you wouldn’t have an opportunity.
3. When you’re ready to quit,
you’re closer than you think
There’s an
old Chinese saying that I just love, and I believe it is so true. It goes like
this: “The temptation to quit will be greatest just before you are about to
succeed.”
4. With
regard to whatever worries you, not only accept the worst thing that could
happen, but make it a point to quantify what the worst thing could be.
Very seldom
will the worst consequence be anywhere near as bad as a cloud of “undefined
consequences.” My father would tell me early on, when I was struggling and
losing my shirt trying to get Parsons Technology going, “Well, Robert, if it
doesn’t work, they can’t eat you.”
5. Focus on what you want to
have happen.
Remember that
old saying, “As you think, so shall you be.”
6. Take things a day at a
time.
No matter how
difficult your situation is, you can get through it if you don’t look too far
into the future, and focus on the present moment. You can get through anything
one day at a time.
7. Always be moving forward.
Never stop
investing. Never stop improving. Never stop doing something new. The moment you
stop improving your organization, it starts to die. Make it your goal to be
better each and every day, in some small way. Remember the Japanese concept of
Kaizen. Small daily improvements eventually result in huge advantages.
8. Be quick to decide.
Remember what
General George S. Patton said: “A good plan violently executed today is far and
away better than a perfect plan tomorrow.”
9. Measure everything of
significance.
I swear this
is true. Anything that is measured and watched, improves.
10. Anything that is not
managed will deteriorate.
If you want
to uncover problems you don’t know about, take a few moments and look closely
at the areas you haven’t examined for a while. I guarantee you problems will be
there.
11. Pay attention to your
competitors, but pay more attention to what you’re doing.
When you look
at your competitors, remember that everything looks perfect at a distance. Even
the planet Earth, if you get far enough into space, looks like a peaceful
place.
12. Never let anybody push you
around.
In our
society, with our laws and even playing field, you have just as much right to
what you’re doing as anyone else, provided that what you’re doing is legal.
13. Never expect life to be
fair.
Life isn’t
fair. You make your own breaks. You’ll be doing good if the only meaning fair
has to you, is something that you pay when you get on a bus (i.e., fare).
14. Solve your own problems.
You’ll find
that by coming up with your own solutions, you’ll develop a competitive edge.
Masura Ibuka, the co-founder of SONY, said it best: “You never succeed in
technology, business, or anything by following the others.” There’s also an old
Asian saying that I remind myself of frequently. It goes like this: “A wise man
keeps his own counsel.”
15. Don’t take yourself too seriously.
Lighten up.
Often, at least half of what we accomplish is due to luck. None of us are in
control as much as we like to think we are.
16. There’s always a reason to
smile.
Find it.
After all, you’re really lucky just to be alive. Life is short. More and more,
I agree with my little brother. He always reminds me: “We’re not here for a
long time, we’re here for a good time!”

Bentley Muslanne Executive
Remember
the amazing Bentley Muslanne Executive Interior Concept ? A beauty like that
cannot be easily forgotten, so we are pretty sure you do remember how stunned
you were when it was first presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2011.
Now the
same awesomeness is finally ready for production. Cutting edge technologies
make the rear quarters of the car a true business paradise! For starters, the
package includes two electronic wood veneer folding picnic tables that hold
iPads and wireless (Bluetooth) keyboards. Apple’s Magic trackpads offer a plus
of control over what happens on the iPads.
What’s
really breathtaking, though, is the 15.6-inch screen that descends from the
car’s roof and which can be controlled via the iPads. In order to avoid
distracting the driver, the rear passengers can watch what happens on the big
screen and use Bluetooth headphones to also hear the action. Two smaller 8-inch
screens are incorporated into the headrests of the front seats.
Other luxe
features include a telephone and a Tibaldi pen in the armrest, and even a Mac
Mini computer in the trunk of the car. In order to install all these
technologies inside the beautiful Muslanne, the team of craftsmen needs some
170 hours of meticulous work. The final result is absolutely stunning!

World Premiere
Lumma to Unveil the CLR 600 GT @
82nd International Motor Show Geneva 8-18 March
Lumma will soon launch its latest BMW package at the
upcoming Geneva Motor Show. Called the CLR 600 GT, the package is based on the
2012 BMW 650i Cabriolet, and it includes changes inside, outside and under the
hood as well.
The German tuner improved the car’s aerodynamics by adding
new side skirts, a rear diffuser, a front bumper, and a lowered spoiler with
LED daytime lights. The vehicle’s 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 is now 82 horsepower
and 120 Nm of torque more impressive than the stock version, bringing the new
output figures to 490 horsepower and 720 Nm of torque.
The power is sent to new GTB-Monoblock 20-inch wheels,
wrapped in Vredestein tires. The suspensions have been lowered by 0.8 inches,
and new yellow brake calipers were added to the package.
On the
inside, the CLR 600 GT features hand-crafted leather upholstery with Alcantara
accents. Interior upgrades also include a new sport steering wheel,
leather-trimmed velour floor mats, and new aluminum pedals. With a brand new
name and a brand new personality, the car will make its official debut @ the 82nd Int'l Motor Show Geneva 8-18 March.
