movement. History is still being written...

BLURRED LINES
Fashion is in a contrary mood, using ‘sheer’ to conceal and to
reveal. Contradictions abound as feather light fabrics in whites and

TECHNICOLOUR
Monochrome casts off its Sixties connotations for good, as designers
play with all manner of decorative devices and structure to give
black and white a fresh, modern makeover.
A lush rainbow lit up the collections, drenching the new season
in head-to-toe primary and colour-blocked brights. Most dazzling
of all are Spring/Summer multicolour creations – looks that pulse
with shade upon sumptuous shade.

SCENT celebration
BEAUTY trends
Here’s our edit of the very best Summer scents to match
your personality and sense of style.
The variety of beauty looks seen on the catwalk each season never fail to impress, but a
few key trends always shine through - and we’ve collated the best that will work on YOU.
Balenciaga
Valentino
Rosabotanica Eau De Parfum
£53 for 50ml
Balenciaga's new fragrance
Rosabotanica is a symphony of scents
based on a very contemporary vegetal
rose accord, a fresh and bright rose
with a racy and luminous character.
UOMO Eau De Toilette
£46 for 50ml
This scent is inspired by a specific
scene at the end of an aristocratic
family lunch, on a huge table set
on the terrace of a Roman Palazzo.
Notes are emanating from the garden
of the palazzo, as well as some
beverages and desserts still on the
table after everyone has left…

WAVE RAVE
BEAUTY
NEON SIGN
It wasn't the first time we
saw intense orange lips
at the shows. The look
nevertheless continued to
make a statement, providing
a fluorescent pop of colour
that perfectly complemented
the bright clothes with which
they were paired.
This season, the beach babe made way
for her rock-and-roll sibling. Gone from
the runways were the bombshell aprèssurf curls and in their place were lived-in
waves that were so matte they appeared
to have been untouched for days.
HERMÈS
L’Ambre des Merveilles
£105 for 100ml
From surprises to magic and from
magic to enchantment, Eau des
Merveilles leads us by the nose into
a cloud of fantasies. Based on an
amber woody accord which resonates
right through to the head notes, this
fragrance, succeeds in the challenge
of achieving sparkling femininity
apparently without flowers.
TOM FORD
London Eau De Parfum
£145 for 50ml
Rich, elegant and urbane. A
tribute to the noble elegance and
unconventional spirit of London
This rich and priced, woody
animalic fragrance creates a singular
relationship of noble oud wood with
warm and sensuous Tonkin musk.
3
Yves Saint Laurent
Manifesto L'Elixir Eau De Parfum
£52 for 30ml
Manifesto L'Elixir is a sensual and radiant combination
of tuberose absolute and jasmine enhanced by
oriental notes of vanilla and a vibrating cashmeran.
Dolce & Gabbana
Dolce Eau De Parfum
£62 for 50ml
Dolce is a gentle, feminine mix of
white flowers, introduced by the
freshness of the neroli leaves and
defined by white amaryllis, a South
African flower used for the first time
ever in scent. A unique and opulent
combination of white water lily and
bold white daffodil blend perfectly
with the full-bodied white amaryllis.
SILVER STREAK
Clear, pale pink, and white
nails appeared on many
runways. Our favourite
versions took it up a notch
with a metallic accent.
A shimmering threedimensional half-moon nail
design at Honor showed a
feminine take on the trend.
BURBERRY
Brit Rhythm Women EDT
£50 for 50ml
Classic and unexpected notes collide in this new
powdery floral. Discover a rush of British lavender,
an intoxicating orange blossom heart, and a deep
vetiver baseline. This smoked pink juice is feminine
and effortlessly sensual.

to them, while there is a different cubbyhole,

exacting standards and know-how. Celebrate your all-important jewellery and watch

Cuvée Rosé.
The Ultimate.
n 1955 Bernard de Nonancourt,
founder of Laurent-Perrier, envisaged
an exceptional cuvée that would cut
across the conventions of the time, which
assumed that a prestige cuvée had to be
from a single vintage year. His Grand
Cuvée was to be the epitome of champagne
blending, bringing together fruit from the
highest quality villages and the finest
harvest years.
Taking inspiration from the dazzling
elegance of the 17th century in France
when the ‘Sun King’ Louis XIV reigned
and champagne flowed at the court of
Versailles, he named his new prestige cuvée
‘Grand Siècle’ meaning ‘Great Century’
and created a unique bottle that reflected
the art of the 17th century glass-blowers.
Now crafted by cellar master Michel
Fauconnet, Grand Siècle is a magnificent
blend of three vintage years using handselected Chardonnay and Pinot Noir
grapes exclusively grown in twelve of the
most prestigious Grand Cru villages in
Champagne. Powerful yet well rounded
with unrivalled finesse and balance, Grand
Siècle displays elegant notes of brioche,
grilled almonds and honeysuckle. The
deliciously fresh flavours and remarkable
depth and complexity make it a versatile
accompaniment to an array of fine foods
such as truffle roasted petit poussin or pan
fried turbot with Cromer crab and baby
vegetables.

A twist on the classic mimosa sees redcurrant
jelly and clementine juice shaken and topped
with Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé. Shaking the
first two ingredients combines and loosens them,
allowing the soft berry fruits of the LaurentPerrier Cuvée Rosé to shine through. A drink
that takes you back to those special moments.

the BR 01-94 and BR 03-90 designs will
be available at ROX stores in Glasgow,
Edinburgh and Newcastle and are musthaves for motorbike fanatics.
Ulysse Nardin
All eyes were on independent watch
brand Ulysse Nardin as it added innovative
new designs to its core range with the Dual
Time and Perpetual Calendar editions.
The limited edition Perpetual Calendar
features the most advanced perpetual
calendar in history; this means the watch
will need manual adjustment for the first
time in 2100 – a true feat of mechanical
engineering. Each piece will be marked
with an infinity symbol on the dial making
it a true collector’s item.
Ulysse Nardin’s new Dual Time

British watchmakers made a memorable
debut at BaselWorld introducing the
new Bremont Boeing range which takes
off with the launch of Model 1 & 247 –
both made using metals designed for the
aerospace industries for ultimate design
and durability.
Bremont also unveiled its first titanium
watch, the Limited Edition Terra Nova
which was put to the test at the South Pole
expertise and Hublot, known for its cutting
edge technology, has raised the bar this
year becoming the first watchmaker to ever
launch designs featuring Osmium crystals–
one of the strongest and rarest metals in the
world.
Osmium is part of the platinum family
and when crushed into miniscule crystals,
produces a beautiful celestial effect on
the watch in addition to its incredible
strength and durability.
Hublot also unveiled a range of
covetable limited edition pieces which

n the wake of the B-Rocket, Bell &
Ross is launching two watches, which
perform complementary functions and
are complementary in size.
A direct offshoot of the B-Rocket, the
BR01 B-Rocket is the ultimate watch for
drivers.
Just like the high-speed motorcycle
it is designed to go with, this instrument
is impressive; its case measures 46 mm
From a functional point of view, the
chronograph is automatically triggered by
the highway push-piece.
And in a flash, the small seconds
counter, at three o’clock, replicates the
graphic display used in experimental
vehicle testing.
In the more elaborate BR 03 B-Rocket
version of the watch, the 42mm satinbrushed steel case is fitted with two
complications.
The hours, minutes and seconds
display also features a large date window
and a power-reserve indicator.
As regards the sub-dial, there are cutouts in the dial revealing the discs operating
the large date window, highlighting just
how sophisticated the mechanism is.

“More than a legendary
engine, a dream airplanemotorcycle.”
B-ROCKET
Inspired by aeronautical design, watchmaker Bell & Ross has once again commissioned Shaw HarleyDavidson to design a concept bike with a sleek and powerful look evoking the extreme modernity of the
1960s and the very first American jet aircraft. More than a motorcycle, a legend. More than a legendary
engine, a dream airplane-motorcycle.
A
passion for pioneering aeronautics,
a quest for aerodynamic lines,
a
fascination
with
cockpit
instrumentation… Since its creation, Bell
& Ross has constantly strived to perfect
the look of tools dedicated to aviation and
featuring amazing functional mechanics.
In 2011, the watchmaker successfully
switched from the air to the ground by
designing an exclusive motorcycle in
collaboration with the British team at
Shaw Harley Davidson Speed & Custom
– the Nascafe Racer. At the time, this
prestigious looking motorcycle travelled
the world winning a series of prizes in
London, Dublin and Sturgis, before being
named the planet’s ‘most famous custom
motorcycle’. In 2014, leading aeronautical
watchmaker Bell & Ross went even
further, presenting a totally exclusive
motorcycle, again constructed with the
engineers at Shaw Harley Davidson, who
share the brand’s values of innovation,
performance and precision. A unique
motorcycle, inspired by the iconic world
of the first jet planes secretly designed in
the United States in the 1960s and evoking
this heyday in aeronautics when anything
seemed possible.
The B-Rocket is a concept bike with a
neo-retro look with lines encapsulating the
essential principles of aeronautical design.
An airplane-motorcycle with a unique style
whose extremely aerodynamic lines evoke
the experimental aviation of the 1960s,
Nevada’s speed bikes and the records
– 68 –
in diameter. However, it is above all the
quality of the chronograph that sets the
BR 01 apart. The ultimate in terms of
timing your speed, it has a large minutes
counter, with a tachymetric scale on the
outer edge of the dial, which as a matter of
priority measures short periods of time and
so allows your performance to instantly be
displayed.
It also has three additional counters,
which provide further information: a
60-second, 30-minute and 12-hour
counter.
FEATURE
The circular power-reserve counter at
6 o’clock is reminiscent of the fuel gage
seen on racing motorcycles or cars.
With their sophisticated finishes,
the BR 01 and the BR 03 B-Rocket can
communicate, making dimmed headlights
within easy reach. In terms of colours and
they set on the salt lake at Bonneville, the
genius of Utah’s pioneering engineers in
white coats, as well as the bravery of the
test riders.
The B-Rocket is all that and much
more: an airplane-motorcycle, which cuts
through the air with its striking conical jet
nose, its cabin, its fin and its propulsion
turbines. This exceptional motorcycle –
a unique model epitomizing the union
between performance and precision,
design and power – could have been
ridden by a classic super-hero, a NASA test
pilot or a young gun thirsty for glory. Above
all, it represnts a watchmaking firm that
believes in the authenticity of its designs
and functions and most importantly aims
to perfect the modernity of the past.
materials, nothing has been overlooked in
the detail of the finish of these models: red,
black, steel and padded leather are there
to prove it.
Their satin-brushed steel cases, worthy
of the most superb fuselage, are powered
by a self-winding Swiss mechanical
movement.
The azure counters with their guilloche
finish are the mark of a quality finish.
Each model is finished using techniques
in keeping with the finest watch-making
traditions.
The matte black dial, the graphic
display of which is reminiscent of a
motorcycle tachometer or a road vehicle or
airplane instrumentation panel, emphasizes
the colour contrast. To accentuate the
emphasis on readability, the skeletonised
hours and minutes hands are also coated
with a photo-luminescent material.
To stress their association with the
world of driving, a red triangle marks 12
o’clock echoing the triangle visible on the
B-Rocket’s tachometer and turbines.
Finally, both watches are fitted with a
padded leather strap, lined and edged in
red, modelled on the seat of the B-Rocket.
Naturally, to meet the requirements of Bell
& Ross in terms of reliability, resistance
and readability, both the BR 01 and BR
03 B-Rocket are water resistant to a depth
of 100 meters and fitted with anti-glare
treated sapphire crystal.
The B-Rocket is available at ROX
Glasgow, Edinburgh and Newcastle

ULYSSE NARDIN SONATA WATCH
Futuristic in design, stealth in performance pretty much sums up the Ulysee Nardin
Sonata Streamline. Inspired by the aerodynamic aesthetic of super yachts, the Sonata
Streamline reveals a strong and streamlined case with two available dial versions. The case,
exquisitely fashioned from titanium, presents one option paired with ceramic - a material
unmatched in durability - and gold, and the other with 18-karat rose gold. The essence

PANASONIC LUMIX ZS40 TRAVEL ZOOM CAMERA
We all know the dilemma: you're heading out on a trip, and want some good photos to
remember it by. But you also don't want to lug around several pounds of camera equipment.
Well, the Panasonic Lumix ZS40 Travel Zoom Camera was designed to solve this problem.
It packs an 18.1-megapixel sensor, GPS, Full-HD video recording, Wi-Fi, NFC, manual
shooting modes, and a 3-inch screen into a pocket-friendly design. But the real draw here
is the 24-720mm equivalent, 30x optical zoom lens from Leica that ensures you'll be able
to get the right shot in nearly any situation. Or you could just carry a whole satchel of lenses
and an SLR. Up to you.

DASH SMART EARPHONES
We've got smart phones and smart watches — so why not smart headphones? Dash Smart
Earphones are indeed smarter than your standard pack-ins, and almost all aftermarket cans,
as well. Thanks to a host of sensors, they can track your pace, steps, cadence, distance, heart
rate, oxygen saturation, and energy spent, relaying the information back to your devices via
Bluetooth. They use the same connection to act as wireless headphones, and thanks to a
built-in ear bone microphone, can serve as a headset, as well. Forget your phone at home?
Not to worry, as they also feature 4GB of storage and a built-in music player, so you're never
without your tunes.
BREGUET Type XX / Type XXI 10hz Watch
This new addition to the Type X collection is an absolute masterpiece and we’re not talking
about the look of it. Due to the introduction of silicon, the Calibre 589F movement is able
to resonate at a breath-taking 10HZ (i.e 72,000 vibrations an hour). Higher lubrication
and less erosion means less stress on the timepiece - and more time between servicing.

common to both worlds. Presented to each celebrity performing at this year’s Brit
Awards, the Raymond Weil Nabucco Rivoluzione II paired together with headphones

Ever since the iPhone debuted in 2007, people have been looking for a good way to

every option relied on you using the iPhone itself. But no more. Arriving on select models
this year, Apple CarPlay integrates your iPhone 5, 5C, or 5S with your car's existing controls
and infotainment screen, letting you use Siri, the car's touchscreen, or even various knobs
and controls to do things. Get directions, make and answer calls, send and receive texts, and
play music, all while enjoying an Apple-designed, iOS-like interface that's worlds better than

Spring, 1943. And for the Allies, there’s none
of the optimism associated with the season.
The conflict in the North Atlantic has tipped
decisively in favour of Germany. Allied convoys
are easy prey for the deadly U-boats, hunting
in their ‘wolf-packs’.

Aberdeen’s most stylish jeweller.
Britain is on the brink of starvation. The
situation looks bleak. In Whitehall, even
Churchill privately doubts whether his
famous powers of oratory will be enough
to lift the nation this time.
Plans for an Allied invasion of Europe in 1944
have been postponed for a year: the US will
not send troops and equipment to Britain with
the Atlantic under German control.
This delay will give Hitler time to strengthen
coastal fortifications in Normandy. German
factories have an extra twelve months to build
Panzers. And huge tank divisions will now
form an iron line of defence along the Rhine,
barring the way into Germany.
The war looks set to continue until at least 1947,
and with no guarantee of an Allied victory.
It didn’t happen like that, of course. But it so
nearly could have, had it not been for the
efforts of a determined band of men and
women in a ramshackle country house in
Buckinghamshire: Bletchley Park.

Some, like Alan Turing, were mathematicians.
Others were musicians. Some were crossword
experts. Yet working in eight-hour shifts in
modest wooden huts, they managed to crack
the German Enigma code, widely believed to
be unbreakable.
An Enigma machine could encrypt letters
in more than 159 million million million
different ways. (Your odds of winning the
lottery look positively generous by comparison.)
But with the code cracked, the Allies were
able to follow the movements of the U-boats
and route the convoys around them. And, in
May 1943, Admiral Donitz conceded defeat
in the Battle of the Atlantic, leaving the way
clear for the D-Day landings.
It was only one of many instances where
intelligence gleaned at Bletchley Park helped
influence the outcome of key events in the war.
The Bremont Codebreaker commemorates
the work of Alan Turing, Gordon Welchman,
Tommy Flowers and the 9,000 other men and
women who served there.
Proceeds from the sale of each watch will go
to the Bletchley Park Trust, which is helping
preserve the house and its famous huts for
the nation.
Every watch will feature actual material from
Bletchley Park.
The movement has an oscillating weight that
incorporates original parts from a German
Enigma rotor.
The crown is inlaid with pinewood from the
floorboards of Hut 6, the nerve centre of
Bletchley Park.
And while the design is inspired by a classic
1940s officers watch, everything else is very
definitely 2014.
The Codebreaker has a unique chronograph
layout with a GMT flyback. (The first we’ve
ever built in this configuration.)
It’s available in two very limited editions: 240 in
stainless steel and 60 in rose gold. We expect
demand to be high.
The men and women of Bletchley Park
maintained absolute secrecy at all times, so
word never got around.
With the Codebreaker, this is unlikely to be
the case.
