World's most expensive business card
Diamond Encrusted Signature Business Cards
If you
think business cards just help you share your contact details, you need to up
your luxury quotient a bit. Targeting ultra high net worth individuals across
the world, Black Astrum launch the Signature Card range of bespoke Diamond

of status and wealth. Made with precision cast Swiss materials embellished with
diamonds of the highest quality, the distinctive cards are crafted using a
mixture of modern and traditional techniques for a stunning result.
The elegant
business cards are custom made by the company’s designers to the customer’s
requirements. Originally the cards were produced as a one off commission for a
wealthy Middle Eastern family but Black Astrum has since developed the concept
into an exclusive product for a opulent few.
The
Signature Card allows our members to express themselves in a truly unique way
said Sufian Khawaja, Black Astrum’s concept director. Although each design is
bespoke, a full set of cards can contain in excess of 30 carats. We’ve had

Avenue Classic Watches by Harry Winston
A new
exquisite collection of timepieces from Harry Winston is here to leave you
breathless. The Avenue Classic Collection can only be truly appreciated by the
connoisseurs, while others will only see them as . Yes, they are much more than
that.
The entire
design was well thought in order to subtly evoke the old time New York. As a
tribute to this restless large city, the Avenue Classic watches come in white
gold rectangular cases (21 mm/36 mm) decorated with 4.7 carats of brilliant-cut
diamonds. Harry Winston’s loyal customers will definitely notice the stylized arches that resemble those
decorating the boutique on the Fifth Avenue in New York.
The oval
dial is set on either a black or a white mother-of-pearl background and 124
diamonds embellish it indescribably. The delicate hands of the watch are made
of white gold in order to perfectly match the rest of the timepiece.
Customers
may choose one of the three strap models available. They can opt for a black or
a white satin strap or they can go with the bolder blue alligator leather
version. Either way, the effect will be dramatic.

HUBLOT F1 ™ KING POWER INTERLAGOS
As the
Official Watchmaker of Formula 1™, Hublot is proud to present the new F1™ King
Power Interlagos in tribute to the land of samba and the famous SĂŁo Paulo
circuit (famous because, unlike other courses, it runs anticlockwise),
available in a limited edition of 250 numbered pieces.
Sporting
the same cobalt blue (pantone 280) that is found in the centre of the Brazilian
national flag, the F1™ King Power Interlagos is rendered unique by several
features executed in a range of high-tech materials directly inspired by
Formula 1™ (some of which have never before been used in watchmaking), such as
the ceramic bezel with a circular-grained satin finish, adorned with multiple
holes evoking the high performance of a brake disc, a strap made from rubber
and Nomex™, a synthetic fibre developed by Dupont De Nemours which – thanks to
its low combustibility and thermal stability – is used in the outfits worn by
F1™ drivers, and the push-buttons for starting and resetting, the split-seconds
function and a 30-minute to 3-hour counter.

The Formula 1 King Power Interlagos Watch was created by
Hublot, to honor the Grand Prix of the Formula 1 World Championship, hosted
this year by Interlagos, the famous Brazilian circuit.
Also inspired by the Brazilian flag, the designer chose a beautiful
cobalt blue for the band and dial-face. At a closer look one can see that the
ceramic bezel has small holes in it, resembling a car’s brake disc, and the 2
reset buttons reflect the F1 root.
Only 250 pieces of this magnificent timepiece are to be sold
by the Hublot dealers. This is your unique change to own a watch that also
commemorates the end of the 2011 Championship.
