CORUM RETURNS TO ITS ROOT 海军上将传奇CORUM回到初心

“It was an obvious choice given the watches’ nautical inspiration. Mother-of-pearl is a natural material that is only produced at the bottom of the ocean. Meanwhile wood is the ultimate symbol of sailing.”

“作为出自航海的灵感绽现,这是最契合的选择。珍珠母是一种只能在深海生产的天然物质。与此同时,木料是航船的终极象征。”

– Jérôme Biard, CEO 首席执行官

When it comes to Corum, the iconic Bubble and Golden Bridge would probably be the series most watch collectors would associate with. However this leading brand in luxury watch making since 1955 is returning to its roots by decorating the dials of its new Admiral Legend pieces in entirely natural materials with eight variations crafted from mother-of-pearl or wood, the brand is reconnecting with its original heritage of artistic crafts while building on the marine inspiration of its Admiral collection. Featuring three hands and date, a chronograph or small seconds, the eight new Legend pieces are expanding the horizons of the Admiral collection. These models come with a satin, steel or vulcanised rubber bracelet and are available in 32 mm, 38 mm or 42 mm sizes.

The new Legend pieces stay true to the Admiral spirit with a dodecagonal bezel, dauphine hands, an automatics calibre, 12 pennant-shaped hour markers and an open screw-down case back. Every single one of the mother-of-pearl models (32 mm and 38 mm) presents a slightly different dial composition, as this natural material is unique by nature. Each piece is hand-assembled to form lively designs where the dial endlessly plays with the light, shifting from shades of blue to green and then to grey.

说到昆仑手表 (Corum),其标志性的泡泡博彩 (Bubble) 和金桥 (Golden Bridge) 系列很可能是大多数手表收藏者会先联想到的。

然而,这个自1955年以来领先的奢侈手表品牌在高档手表制作上正在回归本行初心。全新的8款海军上将传奇作品的表盘装饰是采用天然材料珍珠母或木质制造,这品牌重新结合了传统艺术工艺,尤其是集合以航海概念打造的海军上将系列。这8件新的传奇作品以三重表扣和日期,计时码表或小秒钟为特色,拓展海军上将系列的收藏视野。它们将可搭配缎子、钢或硫化橡胶材质的表链,大小分别为32毫米,38毫米或42毫米。

全新 Admiral Legend 保持海军上将精神中真实质朴的一面。十二角形斜切面边框,太妃指针,自动上链机芯,12个盆形小时标记和螺旋把头的表壳底盖。每一个珍珠母材质的型号(32毫米和38毫米)表盘都将呈现略微不一致的形态,因为这种天然材料是独一无二的,每一件皆为手工组装而成的活力设计,表盘不断与光线形成互动,从深浅蓝渐变为绿色,然后再显现灰色。

Rolls-Royce Dawn ‘Inspired By Music’ 劳斯莱斯曜影向音乐致敬

Following the hugely successful footsteps of Wraith ‘Inspired by Music’, Dawn ‘Inspired by Music’ features the unrivalled aural experience of the marque’s Bespoke Audio system; the Lyrical Copper exterior paint finish is presented with a blend of brushed and polished textures, elegantly hinting at the use of copper found in only the very best audio systems. An alternative exterior colour-way of Andalusian White may also be specified. A hyper-sensitive microphone was used to capture the mechanical and electrical tones of Dawn, including the soft closing doors, the umbrella exciting from its home in the door, the windscreen wipers, indicators and the Spirit of Ecstasy proudly taking her place on the prow of the motor car. These sounds were then mixed together with deconstructed music stems to create a wholly new track.

在劳斯莱斯魅影-Wraith Inspired by Music 取得巨大回响之后,曜影(Dawn)“向音乐致敬”的灵感来自于独家定制的音频系统,无与伦比的听觉体验,藉由经拉丝处理和抛光工艺混合处理后的抒情铜金属色外漆,优雅而具现代感的铜质材料成就具环绕立体感的音响系统。另外,也可以指定另一种安达卢西亚白色外观。而超敏锐的麦克风被用来捕捉曜影的机械和电子音调,包括柔软的关门声,打开雨伞的声响,挡风玻璃雨刷,还有指示灯等。这些声音与解构的音乐混合在一起,创造了一个全新的音轨。

The Definition Of Luxury 奢华的定义

Rolls-Royce has had the pleasure of conveying some of the world’s most powerful, influential and remarkable men and women since its inception in 1904. Continuing in this vein, Rolls-Royce gathered an eminent group of individuals for the world’s first ‘cars and cognac’ assembly; an occasion where guests captured the phenomenon’s spirit with an evening of fine-dining, followed by a cognac tasting in a private and beautiful farmhouse barn. Dining tables were flanked by a Rolls-Royce Dawn Black Badge adorned with the new Aero Cowling and a Rolls-Royce Dawn from the Adamas Collection. At the head of the table was Phantom, the marque’s flagship, equipped with a bespoke Picnic Hamper from which a Cognac sommelier advised tasting practices and notes. Guests either stayed within Soho Farmhouse or were returned home by a chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce after the end or this extreme luxury event.

劳斯莱斯自1904年创立以来,很荣幸的介绍了许多世界上最强大、最有影响力和杰出的人们。因此按照有关思路,罗尔斯罗伊斯(劳斯莱斯)召集了一批优秀的人们参加了世界上首次“车与干邑白兰地”晚会。而当晚出席的精英宾客们聚集精致的晚宴上,并且真实演绎这个现象的精髓:在一个私人、优美的精品农舍谷仓里品尝白兰地酒。餐桌两侧是劳斯莱斯曜影(Dawn)黑色徽章,上面装饰着新的 Aero CowlingAdamas 系列的劳斯莱斯。至于在桌子的顶端是“幻影”(Phantom),这是旗舰车型标志,并且配备了定制的野餐篮,品尝晚会上也有专人解说各种品酒建议和注意事项。而晚会结束后,客人们可以选择继续待在精品农舍里,要么由司机所驾驶的一辆劳斯莱斯送回家。
