p r e s e n t e d b y b e n m o s s J e W e l l e r s . First off, let me say how excited

I am about the addition of the Canadian Ice™ Diamond brand in our stores. For the launch, I accompanied

Canadian Ice™ Diamond Ambassador and Miss Universe ( 2005 ), Natalie Glebova, on a cross-Canada tour

for a series of meet-and-greet sessions with our associates and customers. I am sure some of you were there.

The tour was very well received. I know that Natalie really enjoyed getting out to meet everyone and

learning more about Ben Moss Jewellers, as we are the newest member of an elite group of international

retailers who represent the Canadian Ice™ Diamond brand.

We started the tour in Toronto at the Toronto International Film Festival. I personally made a special

presentation to Olympic Gold Medalist Rosie MacLennan of a Canadian Ice™ pendant and Gino Devuono,

Movado V.P. of Sales, presented her with a Movado Gold watch. Natalie also gave away a Canadian Ice™

floating diamond pendant on Breakfast Television in Toronto.

Natalie and I also met with customers and staff at Fairview Mall and Sherway Gardens stores in Toronto.

Directly after a live appearance and giveaway on Breakfast Television, Natalie and I boarded a plane to start

the Western Canadian leg of the cross-Canada tour with a stop in Winnipeg, which included appearances at

our Polo Park store and a visit with our head office associates.

There were also meet and greets at Chinook Centre (Calgary), Bower Place (Red Deer), West Edmonton

Mall (Edmonton), Metropolis at Metrotown (Burnaby) and finally Richmond Centre (Richmond).

I would like to personally invite all our customers to stop by your local Ben Moss, or visit us online at

benmoss.com, to see our gorgeous collection of Canadian Ice™ Diamond rings, pendants and earrings.

B y E . Z . G u l e r -Tu c k

Scotch remains one of the last standing

pillars of unapologetic sophistication.

A perfect parallel can be drawn between

a finely aged Scotch whisky and the

refined Scotch enthusiast who enjoys a

glass, or more. Both are deeply inter-

twined with such characteristics as

patience, experience and affluence. It

goes without saying that both are asso-

ciated with the finer things in life, those

things that are just not worth giving up,

no matter the economic crisis or credit

crunch. >

A R E C I P E F O R R E F I N E M E N T

Frank Biskupek believes that patience is what defines both Scotch

whisky and those who enjoy it.

“You have to wait to make your money in life; to find your place in

life,” he says. “If you want it all up front, boy are you going to be dis-

appointed when you have it all. You have to experience life in order

to know the good parts. If you haven’t had bad parts, how are you

going to know what the good parts are?”

Patience, among other qualities, is the main ingredient that goes

into making Scotch a luxury item. Biskupek explains: “The idea of

Scotch whisky is that it must sit a minimum of three years in a cask,”

T h e i d e a o f w h i s k y i s T h a T i T m u s T s i T a

m i n i m u m o f T h r e e y e a r s i n a c a s k , ” T o s T a r T i T s p a T h T o b e -

c o m i n g a n a g e d s c o T c h , o r e v e n a

S C O T C HB L E N Dto start its path to becoming an aged Scotch, or even a blend.

The fact that this beverage waits patiently in a fragrant cask for its debut, since most single malts are

12, 15, 16 or 18 years old, says something about the consumer of this fine spirit.

There is a certain class associated with something that you have to wait for and something that is

only available from one source in the world. Scotland is the main producer of Scotch whisky in the

world, and the Scottish are extremely proud of it.

Scotch whisky, “is only done in Scotland, because single malts can only be produced in Scotland,”

says Biskupek. “The great climate, the available barley and the great water for whisky,” are the simple

ingredients that contribute to the hearty taste of this fine spirit.

E T I Q U E T T E E X P L A I N E D

When asked about the etiquette involved in drinking and enjoying Scotch for those wanting to affirm

their dedication to the spirit, or even for those on their way to becoming Scotch aficionados, Biskupek

has a short and concise list of DOs and DON’Ts: >

The purity of the simple ingredients that go into distilling a

bottle of single malt whisky are very similar to the simple

details that colour a life of elegance and splendour that no

longer costs what it used to. Enjoyed in small quantities at a

time, it is the crème de la crème of the drinking culture, and

has deeply rooted tradition as its calling card.

“One of the things we must protect is the tradition of

single malt whisky. It’s so much a part of the culture,”

Biskupek remarks. It is almost as though Scotch whisky has

a character of its own; one with a strong legacy, one that

demands respect and hard work; a highly nationalistic,

proud and enduring custom. And when done right, just like

Christmas morning or a cozy arm chair by a crackling fire,

even a promotion or a sports car, this long-standing tradition

can bring a great sense of accomplishment and an unrivalled

life experience, especially when shared with others.

Frank Biskupek, brand ambassador of “The Glenlivet”

Single Malt at Pernod Ricard, was born in Edinburgh, Scot-

land and moved to Canada in 1981. An LCBO alumnus, he is

a prominent figure in the Scottish community in and around

Toronto, Ontario and loves to share his passion for and com-

mitment to the culture and ceremony of Scotch whisky. ****

Natalie Glebova is not someone easily missed in a crowd.

At a chic Yorkville eatery in downtown Toronto, the 5-foot-11, raven-haired beauty queen is instantly

noticeable, statuesque, chatting away with a friend at one of the patio tables.

It is Sunday, a rare day off for Glebova. She is back in Canada from Thailand, where she currently resides,

to represent Canadian Ice Diamonds and Ben Moss Jewellers.

She signed an international, multi-year contract to be the Diamond Ambassador and the face of Canadi-

an Ice Diamonds back in February 2012, with the official announcement at the Bangkok Gems and Jewelry

Fair in Thailand. Ben Moss Jewellers had already been carrying Passionate Heart by Canadian Ice Diamonds

with great success, so the business relationship already was in place. However after meeting with Glebova

and Canadian Ice in Las Vegas this past spring, and getting a sense of the world vision the company rela-

tionship was going in, Ben Moss Jewellers got more involved by expanding to the full Canadian Ice Dia-

monds product line.

“My decision to represent Canadian Ice Diamonds came quite easily for me once I did my research on the brand,” Glebova says, adding that being a Canadian on the world stage and in a position to promote a Canadian product has brought her a great sense of pride. “Canadian Ice Diamonds are individually laser engraved, so the traceability aspect appealed to me,” says

Glebova. “And of course the fact that they are Canadian.”

On this day, Glebova is wearing a pair of halo earrings and the Floating Diamond Pendant, a signature

piece from Canadian Ice Diamonds, which adds a touch of grace and femininity to complete her look.

“Their collections are exactly my taste,” she says. “They’re very delicate, elegant, timeless, simple - not

over the top. I like that.

“And I would say my favourite is the Floating Diamond. It’s absolutely gorgeous and the setting is done so

that you cannot see it. It actually looks like it’s a floating diamond, a true work of art”.

As a humanitarian and environmentalist, representing Canadian Ice Diamonds and Ben Moss Jewellers

seemed like the perfect fit for Glebova. She says she’s more than just the face of the brand, and that her first

duty as the Canadian Ice Diamonds ambassador was to learn more about the process of diamond cutting

and setting. She was able to witness these fascinating production and manufacturing processes on a past

tour Canadian ice’s world facilities.

“The most impressive part was seeing how each diamond is individually engraved with a laser to ensure

authenticity and to be able to track every diamond back to where it came from,” she says.


Since signing on with the diamond producer,

Glebova has been promoting the brand by visit-

ing various world major retail partners around

the globe. Just this past June, she was at Gold-

smiths, a renowned UK jeweller that had signed

on to distribute Canadian Ice Diamonds.

Glebova was thrilled to see her campaign

posters displayed throughout Goldsmiths’ front

window store displays as the lead diamond brand

in the United Kingdom.

“To see our Canadian Ice Diamonds be so

highly sought after in a world class market like

the UK, felt like another crowning moment, for

myself and the brand,” she says.

In September, the brand was launched at Ben

Moss Jewellers, a 102-year old, leading retail

chain in Canada. Glebova embarked on the Cana-

dian leg with a cross-country tour with Cana-

dian Ice Diamonds to promote the brand at live

events at various Ben Moss Jewellers locations in

Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary, Red Deer, Edmonton

and Vancouver.

“It was amazing to see hundreds of fans come

out to say hi to me and welcome me back to

Canada,” Glebova adds.

But no matter how much any woman may love

diamonds, there was another very unique aspect

that attracted Glebova to the partnership.

“My story of rise-to-fame mimics that of

the brand and its founder Joseph Shilon,” says

Glebova. “Joseph was an immigrant to Canada

from the former Soviet Union, and developed the

Canadian Ice Diamonds brand, brought it to the

__40 world stage and made it famous.”

Having emigrated to Canada when she was > just a little

girl, Glebova propelled onto the world stage as a beauty and

fashion icon, which enabled her to also highlight her other

passion as an animal rights advocate.

In terms of her style, Glebova says that she hopes to be

perceived as someone that’s humble and that other people

can easily relate to.

“I don’t always go for just big brand names; I just go for whatever is com-fortable to me,” she says. “I choose things that are

good quality and fit me well or reflects my lifestyle, such as

Canadian Ice.”

Although she’s wearing a simple tee with a fitted pair of

jeans and cropped jacket on the day of the Ever interview,

Glebova is anything but plain.

“I prefer to be more or less casual because I don’t like to

spend a lot of time getting all dolled up,” she confesses. “I

would rather spend that time going to the gym or making

sure I ate well and cooked something healthy for myself.”

Glebova was first thrown into the global spotlight in 2005

when she was crowned Miss Canada Universe and ultimately

won the top title at the Miss Universe pageant held in Bang-

kok, Thailand (the Miss Universe and Miss USA pageants are

owned by Donald Trump).

Since then, her life has been transformed. Unlike many

Miss Universe winners, Glebova has used the new found

recognition to position herself as an advocate for health-

conscious living.

She has written a book, Healthy, Happy and Beautiful,

and subsequently launched hhblife.com, an online guide and

her personal blog on how to lead a healthy lifestyle and focus

on inner well-being to promote outer beauty.

Glebova is also a huge animal rights advocate, having

worked with SCAD (Soi Cats and Dogs) on

a campaign to bring awareness to animal

rights.

“I am a huge advocate against animal cru-

elty,” she explains. “That subject is really

close to my heart and I just try to always be

conscious of things that I wear because that

can be a statement.”

Having modeled for various fashion

brands over the years, Glebova’s taste in fash-

ion has also changed accordingly.

“One brand that I really like is Stella Mc-

Cartney for Adidas,” she says. “She’s very

much against a lot of animal products, and

she doesn’t use any leather, so I wear a lot

of her stuff, they actually sponsor me with

Adidas clothing.

Days earlier, Glebova visits Freda’s, a local

Toronto fashion boutique, to select a few piec-

es for a photo shoot with Canadian Ice Dia-

monds. Glebova also needs a dress for Ever’s 4

Ever Star Night Event at Tappo in Toronto, to

kick off the tour coinciding with the Toronto

International Film Festival. Natalie walked

several red carpets and had an appearance on

Breakfast Television promoting Canadian Ice

during the event.

As she sifts through the racks of clothing,

she says that when it comes to her fall ward-

robe, she’s all about being warm and stylish

at the same time.

“Because I always feel cold, something

like a cropped jacket with long sleeves that

you can throw on and take off whenever, is a

must,” says Glebova. “I think it can be a good

accessory as well; it adds a layer, and it keeps you warm.

That’s the most important thing.”

Glebova settles on a form-fitting, feminine dress with a nude

bodice and black lace overlay for the 4 Ever Star Night party.

As she leaves the boutique, she talks more about her latest

beauty venture - a perfume product line, named after her-

self, elevating her to A-list status.

“My concept has always been that beauty comes from

within,” she explains, “meaning that when you feel good,

you’re happy, healthy, you’re thinking positively… and when

you exude positive energy, you’re beautiful.”

For someone who’s achieved so much in such a short

span, Glebova’s ability to remain grounded is refreshing.

Through her website and public persona, and the work

she is doing with Canadian Ice Diamonds, Glebova hopes to

inspire women to feel and be their best.

“When she feels positive on the inside, I think that any

woman can feel like she’s Miss Universe,” she says. ****

Mall-goers and passersby looked on with curiosity when both Miss Uni-

verse 2005 and Canada’s sole Olympic gold medal-winning athlete arrived

at the same time at the Ben Moss Jewellers location at Sherway Gardens in

Mississauga.

Crowd interest really jumped the moment Rosie MacLennan – who won

Canada’s lone gold medal in London, in August, in the trampoline event –

took out the gold medal.

“It’s great to see people supporting Olympic athletes,” said MacLennan.

“If you believe in yourself, you can make it.”

That’s actually a message she has been delivering to many young

Canadians since arriving home. At the Ben Moss event, Movado

Group of Canada presented her with a special gold watch.

“We wanted to give her our versionof a gold medal,” is how Gino DeVuono, Vice President of

Sales for Movado, described it.

Brent Trepel, President and CEO of Ben Moss Jewellers,

presented a Canadian Ice pendant to MacLennan.

“For Olympians, five per cent of the journey is the period up to

the Games,” MacLennan said. “Ninety five per cent is the joy, pain,

sorrow, sweat, all of it, during the years beforehand.

“This presentation was such a wonderful surprise. It’s so great to

see the high level of support that Canadian businesses are showing

Olympic athletes.”****

When Ben Moss hung the first shingle to his eponymous store on Manitoba’s Main

Street in 1910, it’s likely the newly landed Romanian had no idea of the success that

lay ahead for the national chain of stores that still bear his name today.

In those early days, jewellery wasn’t even the main offering. Dishware, cutlery

and candleholders were the big sellers, says Brent Trepel, president and CEO of Ben

Moss Jewellers.

In 1959, Trepel’s late father, Sid, took over the business and elevated the chain to

new heights, introducing the brand into malls and the rest of the Prairie provinces.

While knives and forks are the commodity of yesteryear, the Ben Moss brand

is now renowned for its shimmering selection of pendants, bracelets, earring and

diamond jewellery. And since taking over the business in 1986, Brent Trepel has

built up the company’s retail platform to include 63 stores coast-to-coast.

Catering to the Canadian market and its consumers is what Ben Moss does best.

It is strategic with its growth, however impeccable timing and the ability to seize

opportunities has allowed the company to thrive in the competitive jewellery mar-

ket.

“We are very excited about the growth and strength of the Canadian market,”

Brent Trepel says. “For the most part, our growth has really been very controlled

and very much based on timing and opportunity. We don’t start every year saying

we’re going to open three stores; we really take a look at where opportunities are.”

Ben Moss’s national pride rings through in the importance it places on Canadian

diamonds and its Canadian heritage.

“We do a large amount of business in Canadian diamonds,” Trepel says. “We

feel that it’s a good fit for our brand and strategy, given that we are 100 per cent

Canadian-owned and we operate solely in the Canadian market.”

The company has found that, regardless of the slightly higher price, consumers

tend to prefer Canadian diamonds to their non-Canadian counterparts.

The Canadian diamond has the only distinction in the world to be guaranteed

conflict-free.

“There is benefit [to buying a Canadian diamond] because there seems to be that

sense of pride when you are buying something that is going to last you a lifetime, >

knowing that you might be paying a small premium for something that is Cana-

dian, from a Canadian company,” Trepel says.

The company’s Canadian calling card comes in handy when competing

against other jewellers for top of mind presence.

“At the national level, most of the larger competitors are not Canadian, and

their head offices are in other countries,” he says.

Ben Moss also has a line called Passionate Heart ™. These diamonds are cut

by only the world’s best diamond artisans. Each diamond is cut by hand to make

perfect hearts and a distinctive eight-sided, fireburst pattern.

Trepel says that Ben Moss offers competitive prices for its pieces.

“We really try to offer very competitive prices for diamonds, and that we have

locations across the country to service customers, lifetime warranties etc.”

In addition to their extensive diamond collection, the company also carries

an array of fine jewellery and watches, and is always up on the latest trends. Ben

Moss’s jewellery is diverse, featuring a variety of different stones, metals and

styles, and Trepel says that they are always on the lookout for what will resonate

with clients.

monds. We’re finding the look is very big,” Trepel notes. “We see a lot of emphasis

on coloured diamonds…cabochon seems to be very strong. We see a lot happening

in pearls.”

In addition to the popularity of this year’s trendiest styles, there is a grow-

ing demand for custom-made pieces. With the future in mind, Trepel foresees his

clients requesting, “unique pieces that speak to their personality. Also the ability to

customize jewellery is an increasing trend we see with our clients.”

With the price of gold at its highest, Ben Moss is one of the jewellers that has

been offering more cost-effective pieces, using a combination of different metals

such as sterling silver jewellery, or silver fused with gold. Trepel also emphasizes

the popularity of rose gold.

Rose gold has been showing up more and more in status pieces from watches to

engagement rings, necklaces and more. While it’s a metal that’s decidedly femi-

nine, it can also bridge the gap between white and yellow gold, particularly when

all three are worn together. Pure gold is 24 karats; at 99 per cent or more gold, it’s

too soft to use on its own. Copper is used as a strengthening alloy and gives rose

gold its distinct pink tinge. >

Trepel says that even though silver has a better price point, white and yel-

low gold are still best sellers. However, rose gold owes its staying power to the

women who eschew traditional metals such as platinum or yellow gold and opt

for something a little more unconventional.

What’s also unconventional is how Ben Moss has managed to increase its

growth and reach at a time when the ebbs and flow of the industry are causing

many other jewellers to close their doors. Trepel cites the company’s success on

a willingness to take risks and use technology and social media to build its cus-

tomer base.

With its state-of-the-art online store, Ben Moss has ushered in the 21st cen-

tury with both strength and style. The website is a far cry from the advertising

and marketing of Trepel’s grandfather’s age, where the store relied on word-

of-mouth to grow the business. The company now engages with customers via

email, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

To commemorate the company’s 100th birthday, Ben Moss launched a mas-

sive multimedia campaign that included giving away $100,000 in prizes. The

customer response was overwhelming, with over 100,000 entries.

Trepel believes technology also plays a much bigger role in customers’ buying

decisions. And although online sales represent a small percentage of its overall

revenue, that number is on the increase.

Trepel has no doubt that Ben Moss’s contributions to the industry will con-

tinue to grow. The company now has 63 stores and over 600 employees.

“We’re optimistic about the next few years,” he says. “We cater to customers

who are looking for a quality piece of jewellery that is…backed by a solid com-

pany that will stand behind the merchandise it sells.” ****

As soon as the Frederique Constant watch was presented, Glen

Baxter started to loosen up.

As the subject of a photo shoot, you wouldn’t assume that to

be the case. Baxter has spent twenty years covering the fashion

industry, next to some of the top photographers of the day, as

a television journalist. He is currently a host of CTV’s In Fashion and a reporter for Fashion

Television Channel.

We are in the living room at his stylish condo in Toronto’s tony King West neighbourhood.

Baxter is dressed impeccably. That’s his brand – he is seemingly a fixture on various “Best

Dressed” lists. For the past 15 years Baxter has been dressed head to toe exclusively in the red

label HUGO by Hugo Boss.

“I have covered many photo shoots over the years,” he says. “We’d go on set and interview

photographers, models, creative directors, stylists, and we’d do a whole behind-the-scenes

segment. Being in front of the lens is much harder for me. I have so much respect for models.

People think this is easy, but it’s not.”

Baxter is asked to loosen his tie, and open his shirt a bit, and that’s when the fun starts.

Next he’s unbuttoning the sleeves of his dress shirt, rolling it up, showing off the watch. Bax-

ter doesn’t do “crazy”; this is as wacky as it will get.

“Most people, when they see a picture of themselves, they cringe,” he says. “I am like most people that way. I cringe a lot.”Baxter says he owns a few high-end watches. He’s not into owning a lot, just a few special

ones. A man should own the right ones, for the right occasions, he says.

“I have a couple of everyday watches, with metallic bands,” he says. “And I have a dressier

watch that I like to wear with a nice suit.”

He believes it is important for men to really think about the watch they choose to comple-

ment a particular look.

“As guys we don’t have too many options as far as fashion accessories go, so watches are key,”

he says. “They must complement the look, not ruin it.”

Baxter says he doesn’t dress informally that much.

“I have male friends who have told me they’ve given up,” he says, laughing. “I have a life-

style where I can enjoy the clothes, and the watches, and go out in a great city with friends,

and enjoy the lifestyle. It’s all about feeling good about yourself.”

An accomplished photographer, Baxter has traveled extensively throughout Asia, Africa

and the Middle East. His photos have been displayed in solo exhibitions sponsored by Hugo

Boss, with 100 per cent of the proceeds benefitting various charities, most recently Right To

Play (www.RightToPlay.com). ****

C h a r l i e C a r r i C k a r r i v e s at downtown

Toronto’s Gotstyle men’s clothing shop dressed down, in summer shorts

and a t-shirt, but there’s no denying he has that “it” factor.

One can see it when he models the TW Steel watch at a fashion photo

shoot of which he is the subject.

“I just like classic kinds of pieces,” he says.

This year, Carrick grabbed one of four spots in the Toronto Interna-

tional Film Festival Rising Star program, an initiative that shines the

spotlight on up-and-coming Canadian talent.

“i think it’s a great honour,” he says. “and i think i am quite comfortably the least fa-mous of the four rising stars.” Carrick just wrapped up filming the lead role in Molly Maxwell, his first

feature film. He is also set to star alongside Jeremy Irons in the acclaimed

historical television series, The Borgias.

With his natural good looks and laid-back temperament, Carrick

should have no problem schmoozing with the crème de la crème at TIFF

or any other major film festivals. And given that the film festivals are a

hotbed of style, fashion will be more of a priority for him looking ahead,

as his career grows. >

The trendy Gotstyle boutique in downtown Toronto is the perfect set-

ting for the rising star to prep for red carpet outings. Upon arrival, Car-

rick paired up with Gotstyle’s resident fashion guru, Maxim Efimov, and

the two collaborated on a few gala-worthy looks.

“I think, like most actors, I definitely had a stage where I was super into James Dean, Marlon Brando and Montgomery Cliff,” says Carrick. “I really like that older kind of time – like Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson’s looks in the sixties.” That clearly translates into his final suit selection, an all-navy ensem-

ble of a button-up shirt, dress pants and jacket that brings out his striking

blue eyes.

The look is accessorized with an ultra-modern watch from TW Steel.

The CE 4002 David Coulthard Special Edition boasts a precision chrono

movement and a masculine titanium coated steel bezel, adding a hint of

boldness to Carrick’s wrist.

“I used to care more about clothes when I was younger,” he says. “It’s

funny to me to think that now. But I was very specific about the stuff that

I would wear before. Now, not so much.”

Carrick’s simple taste in clothes is clearly evident when he reminisces about his first big purchase as a teen.

“I have this Diesel t-shirt that I bought when I was like, 16 or 15,” he says. “I spent my own money on it and I remember

it was 45 pounds [Carrick’s roots are northeastern England]. My mum was furious that I spent that much on a t-shirt. I still

have it to this day and it’s in perfect condition.”

Today, buying a tee for more than it’s worth may be the least of Carrick’s worries.

“I’ve always loved movies but I find being on the red carpet – networking and all that stuff – to be tough,” admits Carrick.

“I’m really facing my fears with this but I’m looking forward to it. It’s a new experience for me.” ****

BMW’s new 2013 6 Series Gran Coupe is magic on wheels. A swoosh of a roofline makes it

look like a sleek coupe, but rear seat passengers get their own doors.

The four-door coupe is a place where car designers can show their chops. Already mo-

toring around are the lovely Audi A7 and the Mercedes CLS. Now the 6 Series Gran Coupe

shows BMW designers have sharp pencils too, a wonderful complement to luxury lifestyle.

It’s a gorgeous beast of a car. A long hood slinks down to that all-business BMW front end.

New LED headlights that give the car a searing identity at night, flank the kidney grille and

a new chrome blade brightens the black louvers low down on the front bumper.

The rear view is even better -- low, wide, with just the hint of an uplift at the trunk lid,

it ties the big Gran Coupe into a neat performance package. At the top of the rear window,

M O O DM AC H I N E

the third brake light runs in a wide slash, which will be

another standout signature of the Gran Coupe at night.

The long wheelbase increases the length over the

2-door coupe by 111 mm, but designers have housed it in a

muscular profile.

More doors, more power right? If the Gran Coupe is

squiring four, maybe five adults, then it’s just prudent to

add ponies. The twin turbo 4.4 litre V8 650i xDrive, which

will be the only version of the Gran Coupe available in

Canada, produces 445 horsepower, up 38 hp from the 2012

two-door coupe.

M O O DM AC H I N E An eight-speed automatic transmission is fast-shifting and smooth, and

paddle shifters, mounted on the steering wheel, let the driver select gears

manually. BMW claims the Gran Coupe will sprint from 0 to 100km/h in a

remarkable 4.5 seconds. Fuel consumption is predicted to be an impressive 8.6

l/100km in combined driving. Brake energy regeneration and auto start-stop,

which cuts engine power when idling, contributes to fuel efficiency ratings.

Each new BMW showcases advanced technology features, and the Gran

Coupe has a raft of them. Lane departure warning, active blind spot detection

and rear and top view camera are there to assist the driver. BMW night vision

and pedestrian detection are technologies that impressed me when I tested the 650i Cabriolet earlier this year. The heads-up

display with 3D graphics makes following navigation maps easier and less distracting from driving functions.

In press previews of the Gran Coupe, journalists praised the luxurious interior, and driver-oriented cockpit. Backseat

room was pretty palatial for those under NBA regulation sizes.

These are exciting times in car production, more power but better fuel consumption, bigger cars that drive like smaller

cars, luxury paired with sportiness. The BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe, starting at $99,800, steps right in to the fray with its

characteristic swagger. ****

Precision is most commonly defined as, “used or intended for ac-

curate or exact measurement.” It also refers to a precision tool or

something “made so as to vary minimally from a set standard,” in

other words, precision components. Both definitions can be aptly

applied to Bulova’s Precision Chronograph watch, which will debut

in the United States, Canada and Europe in October 2012.

Tadashi Nakamura, creative director at Bulova for the last three

years, says, “architectural designs were my thoughts and inspira-

tion behind designing the Precision Chronograph.”

Nakamura studied at Tokyo University of Art and Design, special-

izing in industrial design before solidifying his place among top

watchmakers. Prior to joining the Bulova family, Naka-

mura was design manager for Citizen Japan for several

years, laying claim to many OEM brands for Europe and

Japan.

A S T R O K E O F G E N I U S

Nakamura also headed the design team for Paul Smith

watches marketed in Japan. It was during those years that

Nakamura honed his skills and passion for detail in the

watch-making business, thus bringing the Chronograph

to life.

“We always begin with rough sketches by hand, as I

do with all my designs,” says Nakamura. “Then I begin

to design the features, ultimately with a 2D CGI (two-

dimensional computer generated image, which is created

through the use of design software) interpretation,” he

explains, as he continues this time-keeping journey.

“Every little element and detail that goes into the watches

makes them unique and superior.” >

The inclusion of Nakamura into the Bulova brand happened rather seamlessly.

“When Citizen Japan bought Bulova, they assigned a team of designers, which

was headed by Mr. Nakamura,” explains James Chan, senior VP of merchan-

dising and product development at Bulova. “We especially focused on Preci-

sionst, which is our proprietary technology. This is a major reason we did not

go outside of our company’s design team.”

The Chronograph is said to be the most accurate watch on the market today,

with a continuously sweeping second hand that beats 16 times per second, compared to other standard quartz watches that

beat only one time per second. Proud of their proprietary expertise, the Precisionist “P” logo is on the tail of every second

hand,” says Chan. The precision technology in this watch addresses temperature changes and vibration frequency, two

important factors that can affect accuracy in quartz watches. “This watch has a multi-layered dial and the surface quality is

excellent,” says Nakamura when referring to the elements that also contribute to making the Precisionist Chronograph dif-

ferent from other timepieces. “There’s a bracelet, case and layered dial that other watches do not have.”

Chan adds that, “the Champlain and Longwood bracelets are constructed by five individually milled links of various profiles.

This gives a very clean line to each link on one hand, while having separate links will provide a crisp aes-

thetic appeal.”

N A T U R E ’ S B E A U T Y

When not perfecting his watch skills, Nakamura enjoys surfing, scuba diving and beach activities. “It

takes 10 minutes to walk to the beach, which I do often,” says the creative designer who has his home in

Kanagawa, right outside of Tokyo. “It’s some of nature’s beauty that gives me my inspirations for rough

sketches. I put those life inspirations into watch-making and the process itself. It’s a definite concept. For

example, the orbit of the stars in the night sky embodies the beautiful and precise stream of time.”

It seems that Nakamura has breathed life into the Bulova line of watches with the Precisionist and has

redefined the watch industry with a new sense of dynamism and excitement.

Over 50 years ago, the company introduced its Accutron product line which, at the time, was the most

comprehensive and revolutionary watch of its era. Today, Nakamura says the Precisionist watch has given

Bulova a superior presence. “It has balance, quality and gives one the pleasure of ownership. I’d describe

this specific watch as high spec, high-quality and good design.” ****

Speed of communications, speed of commerce, speed of travel, speed in sports, speed for speed’s sake – it all feeds into

the culture of speed.

With that comes competitive advantage: keep up or you will fall behind. We like to race, to compete, and we love to win.

This passion for speed explains our collective fascination and love affair with automobiles and automotive racing. That’s

probably because our lives are so intertwined with cars. That includes our shared history of coveting them (at least the luxury

ones) and riding in them. We love to drive fast, and we like to watch others drive even faster. Professional racing circuits

around the world continue to grow in popularity.

An insat iab le th i r s t f o r speed has taken over a l l a reas o f our l i ves , and today, i t takes

Connected to all this is our obsession for devices that allow us to

prove, record and celebrate these experiences.

Though some watches are merely timepieces, many are specifically

designed to capture the essence of speed. There are countless reasons

why chronographs have become such an important segment of the

watch industry, but one of the most significant is the romance and

thrill of measuring and recording how much faster we are moving

compared to the next guy.

The first chronograph was designed to please French King Louis

XVIII, who was an avid horseracing enthusiast. By the late 1800s, as

watches became widely available to the average consumer, manu-

facturers and inventors endeavoured to create watches that not only

displayed the accurate time, but also included the ability to stop time.

However, while time didn’t stop, the hand on the watch did, allow-

ing the user to measure any event from start to finish, make notes, or

compare with other timed events.

The word chronograph comes from the Greek words “chronos,”

meaning “time,” and “graph,” meaning “to write.” The earliest models

actually used a stylus to mark the length of the event on the dial

rather than using an indicating hand.

From these simple beginnings grew a love affair with chrono-

graphs that has captured the imagination of enthusiasts the world

over.

As professional racers used these timepieces, many of their fans fol-

lowed the trend by purchasing them.

Why the popularity? One explanation is the universal idea that we

can all race at some level, even if we are nowhere near able to compete

with the pros. We can at least try, practice, improve and mark our im-

provement. Secondly, and just as important to some − if you can’t own

Jo Siffert’s Ferrari, you can own the watch he wore while he drove to

victories on pro racing circuits.

Siffert (the popular Swiss driver from the 1960s) was the first

professional driver sponsored by the Heuer Watch Company. Siffert’s

arrangement with Heuer − having the Heuer logo on his driving suit

and on his car − was the start of one of the most important and endur-

ing relationships between pro motor sports and watch manufacturers.

It was not long before dozens of professional drivers began sporting

Heuer chronographs.

Though Siffert’s partnership was a catalyst for the watch industry’s

association with motor racing, his career was tragically cut short in

1971 when the BRM he was driving at Brands Hatch in Great Britain

burst into flames. Siffert died at the scene. A crowd of 50,000 attended

his funeral in Fribourg, Switzerland.

Automobiles and timepieces have a great deal

in common. Just listen to a conversation of watch

enthusiasts about technical differences between

certain movement calibres and their relative

strengths, accuracy, power reserves and complica-

tions, and then supplant the words “horsepower”,

“torque”, “fuel-to-air ratio” and you are on your

way to having your first conversation with car

aficionados. You may even aspire to the “gearhead”

moniker, which refers to either a watch collector or

a mechanic.

What is under the hood is just a small part of our

fascination with watches and cars. In terms of styl-

ing and aesthetics, the language is universal – from

the graceful, streamlined curves of a car’s profile to

the way a fine timepiece can take your breath away

as you take in its elegance or technical details, or

simply the fine hand-stitching of a genuine

crocodile strap.

The phenomenon of watch brand positioning

in the world of racing – car or otherwise – is still

quite popular in the 21st century. Nearly every

camera shot at the recent Olympic Games showed

an Omega symbol somewhere on the screen. The

Daytona 500 has for years been sponsored by Rolex,

the Reno air races by Breitling, the Kentucky Derby

by Longines, the list goes on.

With over $19 billion in gross sales reported by

the Swiss watch industry in 2011, there is no doubt

that the appetites of the watch connoisseurs of the

world are insatiable.

A Heuer “Monaco” watch worn by Hollywood

icon Steve McQueen in the movie Le Mans recently

fetched nearly $800,000 at an auction. That was a

record, and further evidence of the romance be-

tween watch collectors and motor sports enthusi-

asts.

While I can’t collect at that level, I am proudly

one of those afflicted with the hunger. There is,

however, room in my garage for one more fast car -

and maybe a motorcycle, too. ****

For early aviators, a precise and functional timepiece was essential

equipment to aid navigation, gauge distance and calculate fuel consump-

tion. The wristwatch relieved Dumont from the frustration of removing

his hands from the airplane controls to check his pocket watch. Com-

mander Richard Byrd relied on an A. Wittnauer Company (now Bulova)

for the first flight over the North Pole in 1926. Earlier, Wittnauer had

seized on aviation to demonstrate the resilience of the world’s first shock-

proof watch by hurling timepieces out of airplanes.

It is not clear which brand Charles Lindbergh wore on his historic May

1927 solo flight across the Atlantic; Ardé Bulova would pay tribute to the

airman with a cheque for $1,000 and a Bulova Lone Eagle wristwatch.

But ‘Lucky Lindy’ would give up his hard-earned secrets for a pilot’s

navigation watch in a detailed letter to rival Longines upon his return

from Paris.

Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic,

insisted on an Omega watch and clocks in the instrument panel of her

single-engine Lockheed Vega 5B. The Omega Speedmaster is the only

watch to have landed on the moon. The wristwatch was no longer an

essential instrument in the flight deck - or so it was thought. In 1970,

the Speedmaster was used to manually time the precise engine boost

needed for the crippled Apollo 13 space module to re-enter the Earth’s

atmosphere.

On occasion, the evolution of aeronautical and watch craftsmanship

happened in reverse. Abraham-Louis Breguet founded his watch com-

pany in Paris in 1775. In 1909, his great-great grandson would build his

first fixed wing aircraft and go on to design and build a World War I

reconnaissance aircraft and day bombers for the French air force.

Aviation is a fast, romantic and technology-driven industry with the

precision, lifestyle and thundering thrills that luxury watch brands

want to be associated with. Cartier still has a line of Santos Dumont-

inspired watches and sunglasses.

Hamilton, the first watch worn for the inaugural US airmail service

between Washington and New York, and in the 1930s the official watch

of pioneer legends such as TWA and United, is the official timekeeper

at many international air events. The largest is the AirVenture air show

in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, attracting over 10,000 aircraft and 500,000

aviation enthusiasts from around the world. Hamilton also has an as-

sociation with several of the world’s most prestigious formation teams,

including Canada’s Snowbirds.

Still, no watchmaker has so tightly strapped its brand to aeronau-

tics than Breitling. The Swiss manufacturer’s aviation roots may not

stretch as far back as some, but they are planted as deep. In the early

1930s, Breitling produced onboard chronographs that would equip the

cockpits of famous World War II fighters, including airplanes flown by

the Royal Air Force. In tribute, a full-sized RAF Spitfire is anchored to

the rooftop of Breitling’s headquarters in Grenchen, Switzerland.

Every year, Breitling thrills crowds at aviation shows and other

sporting events with aerobatics, wing walkers and the world’s largest

professional civilian jet formation team.

The Breitling fleet hits all the glory marks of aviation from the barn-

storming 30s to the golden age of air travel with one of the world’s last

airworthy Lockheed Super Constellations, the grand lady of the skies

during the 1940s and 50s.

Breitling refuses to put a price tag on its aero-activities, but the

message is clear: it is one thing to showcase a watch in front of an avia-

tion backdrop. To fly the brand, a timepiece belongs in the cockpit. ****

Meaningful Jewelery 2_re.indd 82 12-10-11 4:35 PM

O n t h a t d a y , an extraordinary and mysterious gem, a stunning

24.78-carat pink diamond, became the most valuable jewel in the world, reaching the

staggering sum of 45.5 million Swiss Francs ($45.2 million CDN) - an exhilarating and

unprecedented sale soon to become the envy of any reputable jewellery house.

Beyond its splendid pink hue and its exceptional cut and purity, this magnificent

diamond owes its rarity and value to its chemical properties: a rare Type IIA which

make up less than two per cent of existing cut diamonds, the purest form of all crystal

gems presenting a most exceptional optical clarity.

This superb gem left its 60 years of secrecy to become a historical landmark. Its new

owner, Sir Laurence Graff proudly admitted: “It is the most fabulous diamond I’ve seen

in my career and I’m delighted to have bought it.” In just a few seconds, this unfore-

seen gem made history, and was soon renamed the Graff Pink.

How does one resist the temptation of any of these legendary jewels, objets de culte

and religious talismans, heritage pieces, or simply fascinating treasures with a story to

tell? >

W i t h g o l d . Illustrious gems, such as the Tavernier Blue, better

known as the Hope Diamond - having once belonged to

famed crowns such as Louis XIV’s, and renowned gem col-

lectors such as Harry Winston - are now showcased or jeal-

ously treasured, part of the most fabulous collections in

the world.

Some of them have traveled through centuries, eventu-

ally re-cut and renamed by their successive owners, or by

the circumstance under which they were formed. There are

many splendid amulets which have followed the course of

history, or directly acted at the centre of social conflict or po-

litical unrest -- shrouded in mystery and steeped in intrigue.

Who would have imagined, according to legend, that the

“French Blue” or “Bleu du Roi” might have possibly been

used by the famous revolutionary Danton to bribe the Duke

of Brunswick and thus possibly have ignited the French

Revolution?

By his own words, Danton confessed, “Where cannons

fail to force an entry, we should try infiltrating with gold.”

Truth or myth, the existence of “an important blue

diamond” in the Brunswick family collection remains a

documented fact.

Some historians cite an inventory of Brunswick’s jewels

upon his death in 1806, supposedly included a very large

blue diamond - a stunning 45-carat gem.

A timeless and bewitched jewel carrying an ancient legend-

ary curse, the Hope Diamond had changed hands numerous

times on its way from India to France, and later to the United

States when Pierre Cartier sold it to rich American heiress

Evalyn Walsh McLean.

Lineage symbols, family treasures, and faithful witnesses of passionate liaisons and historic

episodes, these notorious jewels sporadically make their appearances for special celebrations or

important events, outliving their successive owners from one generation to the next.

Possessing any one of these unique pieces has become an absolute obsession in the minds of

most indulgent collectors such as Graff, leading to a growing demand for celebrity jewellery collec-

tions, as well as for exceptional gems.

Are they guided by passion or vision? Whatever their underlying motive might be, this trend is

as present as ever.

Rahul Kadakia, Christie’s Head of Jewellery in New York, said: “More and more clients are turn-

ing toward high-quality diamonds, fine-coloured gemstones, and also vintage jewels as an alter-

nate but very secure form of investment.”

Said Francois Curiel, International Jewellery Director and President of Christies Asia: “It’s part

of a general movement where, at the moment, works of art and jewellery attract a lot of custom-

ers. It’s no longer the best-kept secret. Financial markets are not very attractive at the moment. If

you give money to your bank they give you one percent a year, if that. The fact that the art market,

over the past five to 10 years, performed extremely well — not only in jewellery, but in Impressionist

and modern art as well as post-war and contemporary — also gives new buyers courage to enter the

market. I think it is mostly the lack of confidence in the monetary system which pushes people to

works of art and jewellery.”

Investors and collectors realize the long-term stability that comes with these investments.

“A fine diamond or an exceptional colour gem not only retains its value but will appreciate over

time, even through crisis periods such as 2009,” says Henri Barguirdjian, Graff President and CEO

for the Americas.

As an investment, jewels with iconic signatures such as Cartier and Van Cleef remain the most

appealing. A bracelet circa 1930 made by one of these reputable houses, set with sapphires, rubies,

onyx and diamonds, doubled its estimate to reach a staggering $338,500 USD at auction.

In a similar fashion, a diamond Cartier bracelet circa 1952, adorned with 62 carats of rubies,

recently went for $590,000 USD, more than double its original estimate.

Another successful sale was that very famous pearl necklace acquired by Calvin Klein for his

wife Kelly, which would certainly not have been as attractive to him, had it not once belonged to

the Duchess of Windsor. >

When referring to the 2011 Elizabeth Taylor Estate sale,

Francois Curiel elaborates: “Jewels attract passionate people.

But had the collection of Elizabeth Taylor not belonged to

Elizabeth Taylor, we certainly wouldn’t have sold 25,000

tickets at $30 a piece for people to come to the exhibition,

and we certainly would not have had 39,000 people around

the world look at the exhibition. Her name drew the crowd.

“There are quite interesting statistics [about the jewellery market]. The Elizabeth Taylor Diamond was pur-chased by Richard Burton for her for $300,000. That, corrected for infla-tion, comes to $1.95 million. We sold it for $8.8 million. There are many examples like

that, and we see the publicity that the auction houses now

give to their reserves. I think it gives a lot of confidence to

new collectors to enter a market that 10 years ago was prob-

ably the best-kept secret, or reserved for a small group of

aficionados.”

Other superb masterpieces include adored artifacts once

the property of historical figures such as Queen Marie An-

toinette of France or Catherine the Great of Russia, or those

passionate gifts to women such as Marilyn Monroe or the

Duchess of Windsor. There are also iconic collections, like

that of Lucia Moreira Salles, and her Art Deco bracelets de-

signed by Verdura in 1990, as well as the recently auctioned

Huguette Clark heritage and Lily Safra’s unique JAR collec-

tion.

Objects of love, passion and vanity, such as Gloria Swan-

son’s diamond, crystal quartz and platinum bracelets by

Cartier, or Marlene Dietrich’s famed ruby bracelet by Jean

Gabin, are other examples.

Financial considerations aside, this trend seems to be

ever-expanding. It has also translated into an increasing

general demand for vintage pieces, those with a value that

went far beyond brand and financial recognition and now

widely coveted for their rarity, craftsmanship, and their

“provenance,” as referred to by jewellery experts.

This phenomenon has allowed for a very strong demand

and the reappearance of magnificent pieces by Suzanne

Belperron, Paul Flato, Verdura, Lalique or Rene Boivin on the

auction block.

As a reaction, in an attempt at preserving their much-

coveted clientele, contemporary designers are coming up

with collections of vintage jewels or reproductions of signa-

ture pieces, adorned with precious antique gems.

This was seen in the sphere of high jewellery, with Carti-

er’s extraordinary “Inde Mysterieuse” gem collection, or the

“Tradition” collection with 64 exclusive pieces presented at

the Biennale des Antiquaires in 2010.

On the fashion scene, historical pieces are making a state-

ment, as seen with Buccelati’s elaborate designs and their

impressive comeback. Pieces with a true Victorian and Art

Nouveau flair have taken over the minimalist rave: chande-

lier pendants, lace designs, brooches and hair adornments,

all clearly reminiscent of 18th- and 19th-century trends.

When spending significant sums on jewellery, customers

are also increasingly willing to get a sense of purpose - not

only value for their money. They also expect some type of

emotional resonance.

Beauty and design are no longer sufficient; important

jewels need to reflect their singularity and the owner’s per-

sonality as well.

As explained by Stanislas de Quer-cize, President and global CEO of Van Cleef & Arpels (soon to be head of Cartier worldwide): “People are buying with their hearts and their brains.”

Objects with a soul will always prevail over less signifi-

cant possessions. A jewel should provide the same satisfac-

tion as the acquisition of a masterpiece; when a collector

desires an objet d’art, or feels inclined to possess his/her own

relic of the past, by obtaining it, they become an active part

of its history.

In a time of unpredictable financial markets and eco-

nomic uncertainty, a short-term demand for cash has signifi-

cantly advanced estate jewellery sales, and boosted private

collection auction venues.

A larger scope of consumers can now access the enchant-

ment of an Art Nouveau jewel or the timeless modernism of

an Art Deco design, either through magnificent signature

pieces, or more anonymous pieces but just as gracious and

unique.

Indeed, not everyone can afford the Duchess of Windsor’s

much-cherished collectibles, or even one of the very popular

Belperron pieces, but a similar emotional experience is read-

ily accessible by acquiring a singular jewel. A fascinating and

surprising piece, with its own story to tell, one modeled to

your own taste and mood, adds to the pleasure of owning a

unique item.

With internet auctions becoming such fast growth

venues, more transparency around fair market value has un-

veiled some of the secrets jealously kept by the large jewel-

lery houses and their historically steep margins.

The expansion of e-markets and a proper jewellery advi-

sor can provide greater access to this category of jewels and

help facilitate interesting deals both on the buying and sell-

ing fronts.

As such, the collectible-savvy consumer is now afforded

access to the kinds of precious treasures once only dreamt

about, without having to settle for a contemporary - yet

perhaps less meaningful and unique piece. ****

Israel’s history is never far or forgotten; every inch of the city holds a piece of its past. Case in point is Israel’s first train station

in the once tired looking district of Hata Chana, which has now been transformed into a swanky area to eat and shop. A large

freight car and some rail tracks stand like sculptures, front and centre, among Israeli designer boutiques, and the Soho neigh-

bourhood is a knockout place for fashion, filled with many clothing stores and jewellery designer shops. A good example of

the eye candy featured in this area is at Hella Ganon’s, which takes computer-assisted gold jewellery design to a whole new

level. >


For architectural beauty, Rothschild Boulevard can’t be beat; filled with many of the 1,500 Bauhaus buildings scat-

tered across the city, these structures are what gave Tel Aviv the moniker, “The White City.” Now a UNESCO heritage site,

the past meets present as the middle of the boulevard on this wide street is flooded with kiosks, some with outdoor tables

and chairs, all serving great coffee and the most delectable pastries.

M O M A - e s q u e

The new addition to the Tel Aviv Art Museum is a perfect example of the high quality that comes with new architecture.

While I was there, the exhibit of famous contemporary German artist, Anselm Kiefer, reminded me of the atmosphere of

New York’s Museum of Modern Art: filled with parents and their kids, teenagers discussing the canvases, sculptures, and

seniors mesmerized by these new concepts.

Few cities offer the opportunity to enjoy a mid-day concert

at Tel Aviv University followed by a swim at one of the many

beaches, perhaps Jerusalem Beach. This seaside location is

where locals and tourist alike enjoy the main event: a feast

of freshly caught fish at Manta Ray. Top this busy day with

a world-class contemporary dance performance in the

Suzanne Dallal Dance Theatre located within the historic

district of Newe Tzedek.

Market places conjure up memories of the early days of

the republic. Nachalat Binyamin, open only Tuesdays and

Fridays, is a pedestrian area filled with cafés, shops and

stalls selling just about any item you can imagine. The city’s

large open-air market, Shuk Ha-Carmel, is steps away.

d i v i n e d i A M O n d s

For high-end shopping, schmoozing at a café and taking in

the local atmosphere, Kikar Ha Medina, nestled in a district

flooded with luxurious condos, European brand name bou-

tiques and private homes, is well worth a visit. This is where

ingenious Israeli jewellery creators convene to offer one-of-

a-kind, oddly shaped and burnished gold jewellery, often

studded with diamonds or other precious and semi-precious

gemstones.

The stylish shops cater to everyone from soon-to-be

engaged folk to those who have survived decades of married

life. Diamonds, like some marriages, are forever and Tel Aviv

is known for these popular precious stones. >

Naturally, a lesson with one of the super mavens in the Boursa centered around

the four Cs (cut, clarity, carat and colour), then about discussions as to why one

diamond sparkles more than another. Faceting is referred to as “hearts and ar-

rows.” Through intricate and precise facets, a perfectly cut stone shines brighter

than a lower grade stone. The light enters the top (or table) then reflects it from

one side to the other and exits from the top again.

Proportions and symmetry establish brilliance. Cut captures the light. Colour

is a matter of choice, from pure, colourless white (the most valuable and costly) to

light yellow, cognac, brown black, pink, blue, green and rare red. As carat size in-

creases, so does the price tag. As for clarity, this means the absence of flaws, either

on the surface or inside, and often can only be seen with a jeweller’s loupe. How-

ever, most diamonds contain inclusion such as pits, chips, cracks, air bubbles,

feathering and non-diamond minerals.

M u S e u M o f d i a M o n d S

With my head spinning, I am overjoyed to see the nearby Harry Oppenheimer

Diamond Museum, where there’s a short film explaining where diamonds come

from. There are a few rooms filled with well-secured, actual pieces on display and

some that are replicas of the largest and most rare jewellery in the world.

In a country with only 65 years under its belt, Tel Aviv’s youthful ode to the

diamond culture, through its Boursa, museum and rich culture, is sure to keep

this uber popular stone at the core of the international diamond trade. ****

Security was present when I visited the Boursa, the renowned Israel

Diamond Centre, in Ramat Gan. It’s easier to get into Fort Knox.

Opened in 1986, the Boursa is considered one of the largest diamond

exchanges in the world, although India is now a close second after

learning the craft from the Israelis. In this major complex - a village

within a village - is the 240-metre Moshe Avi Tower - the “Golden Gate,”

where a handshake seals the deal.

Luckily, I have an acquaintance who is a member. Connections are

important. With my passport in hand, I go through my first security

check. I am photographed for a must-have visitor’s tag and my fin-

gerprints are taken - now forever on their computers. Here you can

purchase loose or set diamond items from the purest white to fancy co-

loured; round diamonds are still the most popular sellers. This is where

traditional designs compete with the most innovative, unique creations.

Cutting, finishing and polishing is handled in a very secured much

smaller, less flashy set of buildings.

Find someone that isn’t afraid to admit they miss you. Someone that knows you’re not perfect but treats you as if you are.

Someone who couldn’t imagine losing you. Someone who gives their heart to you completely.

Someone who says I love you and proves it.

CJAPR2012_DOCKET_ADVERTISER_PRODUCT_FP1.indd 1 12-10-12 3:40 PM

Y o u r j e w e l l e r Y is the perfect chance to step out of the ordinary, stand out in a

crowd. A bold piece of jewellery allows you to break the rules and defy the order of the norm.

This breathtaking Nomade Bracelet from Fabergé’s Les Fabuleuses Collection, set in 18k gold and silver, features pebble-like paneling embroidered in 1,268 white dia-monds. Inspired by Prokofiev’s orchestral Scythian Suite, first performed in 1916, this pièce

de résistance combines elements of the primitive with the elegance of Russia’s great Silver Age, in

the 19th century, and into the early 20th. The House of Fabergé was at the centre of all that. Once

considered the ultimate gift presented by the Tzar himself, this Fabergé creation now has a place

to glimmer on your wrist. ****
