Liebe Leserinnen, liebe Leser
Dear Readers,
Die Agentine Open gewinnen, dies ist der Traum jedes Polo Professionals. Zum Kreis der Erlauchten, die sich in die Siegerliste
des berühmtesten Poloturniers der Welt eintragen durften, gehören Facundo und Gonzalo Pieres. Doch nun hegen die beiden
10-Goaler einen neuen Traum. 2015/2016 treten sie mit einem
Team an, das nur aus Spielern der Pieres-Familie besteht und
wollen damit ein neues Kapitel Pologeschichte schreiben. Wir
trafen die Pieres-Brüder anlässlich ihres Besuchs bei ihrem
Sponsor, der Schweizer Luxus-Uhrenmarke Hublot, in Genf.
Winning the Agentine Open is the dream of every polo professional. Two of the few players who managed to enter their name
into the prestigious list of winners of this most famous polo tournament of the world are Facundo and Gonzalo Pieres. But now
the two 10-goalers have a new dream. In 2015/2016 they will
compete with a team consisting only of players of the Pieres
family, a setup that will go down as a new chapter in polo history.
We met with the Pieres brothers when visiting their sponsor, the
Swiss luxury watchmaker Hublot in Geneva.
Auch wenn wir mit den Stars aus Argentinien unsere AugustAusgabe eröffnen, so legen wir sporttechnisch diesmal den
Schwerpunkt auf Europa. Mit dem Gold Cup in England und dem
Britisch Polo Day stehen zwei englische Turniere in unserem
Fokus. Den Bogen von der Sonnenstube der Schweiz nach Südamerika schlägt der Hublot Polo Cup, der diesmal Brasilien als
Gastland hatte. Weiter geht unsere Turnierreise in den Polo Park
Zürich und von dort aus zu den De Grisogono Polo Masters im
malerischen Polo Club Villa a Sesta in der Toskana.
Even though we start our August edition with the two stars from
Argentina, from a sports perspective this edition focuses on
Europe. With the Gold Cup in the UK and the British Polo Day
we focus on two British tournaments before making a connection between the sunny part of Switzerland and South America
by reporting on the Hublot Polo Cup which had Brazil as this
year’s host country. Our tournament journey continues to the
Polo Park Zurich and from there on to the De Grisogono Polo
Masters in the impressively beautiful Polo Club Villa a Sesta in
Tuscany.

The 10-goaler Facundo and Gonzalo Pieres
“Our aim is to win the
Argentine Open with the
four Pieres on the field”
The family has a long-standing and highly successful polo tradition. Their father Gonzalo
Pieres senior is a legend and Facundo and Gonzalo Pieres junior are among the world’s
best polo players with handicap 10. The brothers collect trophies at the prestigious tournaments around the globe like other people collect stamps. So far they consider winning the Argentine Open 2012 as their most valuable victory. But they have a dream:
Winning the highest-ranking polo tournament in the world with players coming exclusively from the Pieres family. At the Argentine Open 2015/2016 they hope to turn their
dream into reality with their new family team.
Recently the Pieres brothers visited the headquarters of Piaget in Switzerland. The luxury
watchmaker is a committed sponsor to the polo sport all over the world. Since two years the
Pieres brothers are Piaget Brand Ambassadors. Polo Luxury & Country Life Magazine met
with Facundo and Gonzalo Pieres junior in Geneva for the interview.
Interview: Birgit Hügli-Herrmann
What role do you think your parents and your whole family had in your career and success?
I think they played a big big role for all of us. Because we started playing polo being inspired by
our parents – we are three brothers and our father used to play polo, and also our cousins’ father
played polo. And for sure, if they wouldn’t have played polo we probably wouldn’t play it either.
You often hear of sons who don’t want to carry on the family business because they can’t
live up to their parents’ expectations. You are born into a famous polo dynasty, was it difficult
for you to meet the spectators’ expectations? And do you feel pressure and expectations
because it’s a family business?
Being born into a legendary polo family has really much more advantages than disadvantages.
You have many extremely good teachers who nurture your ambition, you can use a lot of good
horses and you always have excellent players for training. Being part of the Pieres
family and our Ellesterina team is both an honour and a commitment. Ellesterina is a big organisation, there are a lot of spectators. But we agree, it’s good to have such a famous family and a
family team.

Die 10-Goaler Facundo and Gonzalo Pieres
Ihre Familie pflegt eine lange und hoch erfolgreiche Polotradition. Ihr Vater Gonzalo Pieres senior
ist eine Legende und Facundo und Gonzalo Pieres junior zählen zur Crème de la Crème der
weltweit besten Polospieler, die mit Handicap 10 spielen. Siegerpokale an den prestigeträchtigsten Turnieren rund um den Globus sammeln die Brüder wie andere Leute Briefmarken. Bis anhin
bezeichnen sie den Sieg an den Argentine Open 2012 als ihren wertvollsten Titelgewinn. Aber
Facundo und Gonzalo Pieres jun. haben einen Traum: Mit ihrem Team Ellesterina das wichtigste
Poloturnier der Welt mit Spielern zu gewinnen, die ausschliesslich der Pieres-Familie entstammen.
An den Argentine Open 2015/2016 hoffen sie, ihren Traum mit ihrem neuen Family-Team verwirklichen zu können. Kürzlich besuchten die Pieres-Brüder den Hauptsitz von Piaget, der
Schweizer Luxus-Uhrenmarke, die sich weltweit als Sponsor in der Poloszene engagiert. Seit zwei
Jahren sind die Pieres-Brothers Piaget Brand Ambassadors.
Facundo Pieres, Gonzalo Pieres, Mariano Aguerre and Nicolas Pieres
Polo takes you all over the world. But your heart beats in Argentina. Where do you live with
your family? Is it in the countryside or in a city?
We live in the countryside, about 45 minutes away from the city in a town called Rodriguez.
You have played all the big international polo competitions and have won a lot of them. What
are your greatest sporting successes?
Our biggest success was winning the 2012 Argentine Open. This was probably the best thing
ever!
In 2014/2015 you lost the final of the Campeonato Argentino Abierto de Polo with Ellesterina
against La Dolfina at 12-14 goals. I have heard you have a special aim for the Argentine Open
2015/16? Would you tell us some more about this aim?
Oh yes, we really have a special aim for 2015/2016! Our aim is to win the Argentine Open again
with the new team! Polito has never won it yet, and if we can win it with the four Pieres in the
field, it will be amazing!

Do you mostly play in the same team?
Sometimes we play together and sometimes it’s mixed.
What do you prefer?
We prefer to play together. But in polo you don’t play in the same team for the whole year. You
always play in different teams, so most of the time your team gets changed. But in Argentina at
the most important tournament we play the four of us together.
Do you feel particularly attached to any polo club?
Yes, to our own club, Ellesterina, which our father build and started the business. We play for it
and hopefully we can play for Ellesterina for the rest of our lives. We feel very attached to this
team. We also try to pass it on to the next generation, to our children.
The four members of your Ellesterina polo team are Brand Ambassadors for the Swiss luxury
watchmaker Piaget since 2014. How important is a professional sponsoring for you and your
team?
For polo as for all kinds of professional sport, sponsoring is really important – without sponsors
we would not be where we are today. The sponsors and the media coverage are the only things
that can promote the sport globally. The combination of both give popularity to polo and we
think it is very important for sponsors to give a hand in the game. We are absolutely delighted
that with Piaget we have found a partner who gives such generous support to us and to many
international polo events.
Do you play for money or for passion? If you wouldn’t be paid so well for this job, would you
still do it just because it is your real passion?
In this house we are in two minds about this. Since many years, polo is the passion of our family
and we all love this passion very much. But polo is our profession too. To play polo on a high
level, in addition to talent you need very good horses, time and places to train the horses and
opportunities to play top tournaments with the horses. All this costs a lot of money.
You all started your career very young. What did you feel the moment when you arrived at
10 goals?
We started with polo when we were children, that’s normal in a family of polo players. To arrive
at 10 goals is a dream of every polo professional. The first time you are part of the 10-goalers is
a tremendous moment when finally the goal is in sight. To arrive at 10 goals is a long and hard
way, but you have to work even harder to stay at 10 goals for a long time.
In Europe we call polo the ‘sport of kings’. In most countries polo is an elitist sport. It’s my
feeling that polo in Argentina is much more popular. If you compare polo in Argentina and
other places of the world, what are the main differences?
Polo in Argentina is very popular, much more than in other places of the world. And in Argentina
we play more aggressive. Most of the best players come from Argentina. And the most valuable
polo tournaments are played here.
In the middle of the city in Palermo, Buenos Aires, you have a big polo stadium, this is like a
football arena. It must be a tremendous feeling to play in such a stadium, isn’t it?
Oh yes, it is fantastic. 15,000 people or more come to watch the Argentine Open; it feels like the
world championship for football. The fans were thrilled to watch the top 8 teams taking part,
which means that 32 of the best polo players in the world are playing.

How important are the horses in polo sport? What special skills and characteristics qualify
an excellent polo horse in your opinion? Do you train your horses yourself or is this more
the job of your grooms?
Horses are very important. In order to be successful, a world class polo player needs a lot of great
horses. We need to train and spend a lot of time with our horses to become professional and
become a good couple.
For example the Triple Crown tournaments in Argentina (Tortugas Open, Hurlingham Open
and Argentine Open) were playing with 8 chukkers. How many horses do you need for these
big competitions?
For a season in Argentina, which takes 3 to 4 months, we have around 20 horses for each player
of our teams.
Thank you very much and good luck for your big aim.

British Open Polo Championship 2015 – Jaeger-LeCoultre Gold Cup
King Power Foxes claiming victory
More than 14,000 spectators were at Cowdray Park Polo Club in West Sussex on
Sunday 19th July to watch the finals of the 2015 Jaeger-LeCoultre Gold Cup for
the British Open Championships. Two amazing teams, King Power Foxes and
UAE fiercely competed for the most coveted Gold Cup, with King Power Foxes
ultimately claiming victory with a comfortable margin of 14-8.
King Power Foxes, the team of ‘Top’ Srivaddhanaprabha, entered the final with great expectations, having just won the 2015 Queen’s
Cup with Top’s new line-up of 10 goal Pieres
brothers, Gonzalito and Facundo, and young
1 goal English player Hugo Lewis. The all proside of UAE consisted of 10-goaler Pablo
MacDonough, the leading goal scorer of the
British Open, Santiago Stirling (4 goals), experienced high goal player Lucas Monteverde (8 goals) and 16 year old Jose Ramon
Araya, currently playing off 0 goals, whose
handicap will no doubt rocket after his performance in the UK this year.
Both teams competed hard to get the chance to raise the Gold
Cup on the podium. The Jaeger-LeCoultre Gold Cup Final saw
the victory of the blue shirts from King Power Foxes who battled to take the lead and closed with an impressive score of
14-8 against UAE.
2015 also marks the first year for Jaeger-LeCoultre as Title
Sponsor, further strengthening our long-standing relationship as the Official Timekeeper of Cowdray Park Polo Club,
the most prestigious and oldest polo club in the UK. In the official awards ceremony, excellence, team work and precision
were recognized. Most Valuable Player went to Facundo Pieres
and the Best Playing Pony award went to Divina played by
Pablo MacDonough.

have been crowned champions of the Metropolitan Intervarsity Polo tournament, and they were the form team
throughout, beating Cambridge, Stanford and Harvard on
route to today’s Grand Final.
London (KCL) and the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). For Oxford, a team with a history dating
back to the nineteenth century, this was their third appearance at the Metropolitan Intervarsity Polo and the first year
they had made it to the Grand Final.
The standout player of the tournament was London’s twogoal star and MTP Harold Hodges, who scored more goals
over the five days than any other player, including five goals
in today’s final. The University of London Polo Club, founded
in 1988, is one of the largest university teams in the world,
representing a number of institutions in the British capital
including University College London (UCL), King’s College
At the post-match awards ceremony, Thomas Waite from
Harvard scooped the Most Improved Player award. As is traditional in the sport of polo, the ponies got their moment in
the limelight, the Best Playing Pony award going to Impacto

Hackett Cronan Cup
British Polo Day GB
The afternoon’s polo soon had VIPs and
guests braving the elements to stand pitchside as the Qatar Airways British Exiles took
on the Royal Salute Commonwealth Team in
the opening Hackett Cronan Cup. These two
very closely-matched teams – at 13 goals –
battled hard. The Royal Salute Commonwealth Team’s Tom Hunt and Simon Keyte
left the Qatar Airways British Exiles adrift by
3-1 however magic by George Meyrick and
Satnam Dhillon in particular changed the
course of the match and a subsequent three
goals resulted in a 5-5 draw.
Then, following a quintessential British afternoon tea and the customary treading of the
divots, the RJI Capital British Schools Team
took to the pitch against the México Polo Team
– our kind hosts of British Polo Day Mexico – in
the Land Rover River Field Plate. Undeterred
by the thunderstorm overhead, the México
Team drew first blood with Diego Solorozano
scoring a penalty from the 40 yard spot. Thereafter the strong trio of Imelda de Alba. JJ de
Alba and Luis Perez kept the Mexicans in the
lead, emerging triumphant with a 3-2 victory.
The official British Polo Day Great Britain prizegiving marked the end of a great day’s polo.
The crowd gathered to see Urs Schwarzenbach jointly present the Royal Salute Commonwealth and Qatar Airways British Exiles

ein 5. Chukker gespielt werden, der aber auch
keine Entscheidung brachte. Erst das «Golden

The Piaget Polo Open took place during tropical temperatures. Already in the qualification round the teams
had to play in 30+ degrees. In the semifinal Team Bentley managed with a half goal lead to win the game.
Los Lobos had it slightly easier against AgaNola. On Sunday, Piaget won the 3rd place against AgaNola with
3-2. The final game to win the Piaget Trophy was very exciting, as the result after the regular play time was
5-5. To have a winner, it went into overtime. The 5th chukka continued to be a tie, which forced the teams
to play the 6th chukka. Then Martin Podesta managed to score the ‘golden goal’ and therefore secured the
deserved win.

through the town to great popularity with the locals who supported
the players and the event throughout.
Players from countries ranging from Argentina to Czech Republic took
part. The first day saw action from the start with skilled polo to impress
the spectators who followed the games with cheers and claps. Impressive

De Grisogono Polo Masters at Villa a Sesta Polo Club in Castelnuovo Berardenga
‘Sport of kings’ in a poetry location
By Serena Wiedenstritt
Match between Team Sorleone and Team Castel Monastero
The Team Sorleone is the winner of the De Grisogono Polo Masters
that took place on June 18th to 28th at Villa a Sesta Polo Club in
Castelnuovo Berardenga: a medieval village, a farm and three professional polo fields, where the most elegant sport becomes true poetry.

The beauty of Villa a Sesta is that while you will behold by the sweet
Tuscan hills, the challenge or the practice sessions may be preceded
by a visit to the gym and a dip in the pool followed by a drink in the
club house in a perfect English style. Technically Villa a Sesta is the
first polo club in Italy and Europe with three regulatory grass fields,
a practice field, a grandstand made from travertine marble overlooking to the main field, as well as a lounge bar and a conference center.
For horses are available more than 100 hectares of green for the
paddocks and over 180 fixed boxes.

The ten days of great emotion saw four teams confronting the undeniable quality: Calamai, De Grisogono, Sorleone and Castel Monastero,
they gave masterful evidence of the noble game that challenges riders
and horses. The first place went to Sorleone, second to the De Grisogono. Calamai qualified as the third. Scorer of the torneo is Argentine

Naveed Gill, founder of the Prague Polo Club – the first polo club in the Czech Republic:
Interview: Birgit Hügli-Herrmann
“I wanted to leave something for
the history books”
Naveed Gill mit dem ersten Polo Club in der Tschechischen Republik
Polo ist der Lebensmittelpunkt von Naveed Gill und seiner Frau Sarka. Gemeinsam mit den beiden
Kindern Elias (13) und Emir (7) lebt das Ehepaar in der Nähe von Prag. Als ehemaliger Springreiter
pflegte Naveed Gill bereits eine intensive Beziehung zum Pferdesport, bevor er 2006 erstmals in den
Polosattel stieg. Fasziniert vom schnellen, kampfbetonten Spiel, trainierte der ehemalige CEO der
Tiscali Czech Republic – unterstützt von Santiago Torriguitar und später in Grossbritannien von den
4-Goalern Michael Ffrench Blake, Michael Howe und Timothy Vaux – nahezu täglich. Da der Polosport
in der Tschechischen Republik überhaupt nicht existierte, schritt Naveed Gill zur Tat und gründete
2008 den Prague Polo Club, später Gill Polo genannt. Ein Meilenstein für das Spiel der Könige in der
Tschechei war gesetzt, dem eine Reihe weiterer folgen sollten. So etwa das erste Czech Snow Polo
Masters. Gefragt nach seinem Beruf, antwortet er lachend: «Mein Beruf ist Club Präsident, Polo Trainer,
Polo-Event-Organisator, und all dies mache ich unterstützt von meiner Frau Sarka.» Bei den Gills dreht
sich alles – aber wirklich auch alles – um den Polosport und dessen Entwicklung.
Gerade erst hat Naveed Gill das erste Poloturnier in der Ost-Tschechei in Morava organisiert. Auf
einem 100 x 50-Meter-Feld treten 2 Teams mit je 2 Spielern gegeneinander an. «Viele grosse Dinge
haben einmal klein angefangen», sagt Naveed, «und wichtig ist, dass wir wieder etwas Neues anstossen, das dem Polosport dient und die Zuschauer begeistert, dann kann man darauf aufbauen.»
Auf die Frage, was ihn antreibt, antwortet Naveed Gill: «Meine grosse Leidenschaft für den Polosport
und der Wunsch, etwas zu tun, dass in die Geschichtsbücher dieser Sportart eingeht.»

POLO
Naveed Gill is the founder of modern-day Czech polo. He founded the Prague Polo
Club in 2008, which was renamed to Gill Polo. His philosophy is: “From a one-toone personal lesson to a full company event – we have the staff, the experience,
the resources and the passion to make whatever it is you want happen.’’ With his
wife Sarka, Naveed Gill decided to establish and develop polo as one of the top
equestrian activities in the Czech Republic. Gill Polo is about the passion for polo
turned into reality.
Naveed, at the beginning please complete the following sentence:
For me polo is... my life, but first and foremost for me
polo is a sport.
Naveed, what was your reason to found your own
polo club?
Thanks for asking, several reasons actually. I was at a
time in my life when I wanted a completely different
challenge rather than the one I had for a number of
years – being a CEO of a telecommunications company.
I was passionate about polo and knew that it didn’t
exist in the Czech Republic, so I saw a big challenge: to
establish not only a club but the entire sport – I wanted
to leave something for the history books.
For more information about
the Prague Polo Club –
Gill Polo, go to:
www.gillpolo.com
Please, give us an overview of your polo club and the
training possibilities and tournaments.
Training is all year round as we have 2 indoor arenas,
2 outdoor all-weather arenas and a polo field. As polo
is new in the Czech Republic, our tournaments are usually organised for our beginner members. I try to hold
at least 2 major tournaments per year – the Spring
Arena Tournament and the Czech Snow Polo Masters
tournament.
How many people play polo in the Czech Republic?
At the moment probably around 15 to 18, of which I
would say 3 to 4 are really serious players.
Would you please tell us a little bit about your profession and your polo background?
My profession is club president, polo trainer, polo event
organiser – I do it all with help from my wife. I do polo
every day. I start with exercising the ponies, then
schooling them, then giving lessons, then working with
sponsors and partners.
I’m just organising the first-ever polo tournament in the
Eastern Czech Republic – Morava. It will happen from
July 31st to August 1st – a simple 2-day grass event. However, the field will be only 100 x 50 m and we just have
teams of 2 players – I want to get the sponsors happy
with POLO before going big, and by having 2 vs 2 on
grass we’ll have fast/action polo, so the audience will
be pleased too. I always try to do innovative polo events
where we can meet the expectations of sponsors, players and the audience. I started to play in 2006, trained
with Santiago Torriguitar, then in the UK with 4-goalers
Michael Ffrench Blake, Michael Howe and Timothy
Vaux. As I’m British it was just easier to train with them.

Did you have contact with other equestrian disciplines before?
Before I started to play polo I was a show jumper, but I
got hooked immediately the first time I tried polo in
Sotogrande in 2006. From that moment I wanted to
start polo in the Czech Republic and I knew I would
sooner or later.
What is your handicap?
I play off +1 – I do not have time to improve my handicap as I am busy teaching!
Elias Gill
Do you have members of your family (children, your
wife, brothers or sisters) who play polo?
I taught my wife and oldest son to play. My son (13
now) started when he was 9 – I had already taught him
how to ride from the age of 5 and between 5 to 9 he
did jumping – then I started the polo club and he
started. Now he doesn’t want to do anything else, he
is also quite good. My wife, who can also ride but had
never played polo, told me she would never play even
when I started the club. Then I brought home a new
polo pony – she fell in love and started immediately.
Where do you live with your family?
We live all year round just outside of Prague.
Tell us something about your polo passion, please.
I say that my family has my heart but polo has my soul
– I am truly truly in love with this amazing sport.
What does Naveed say about himself?
I have always said vision with execution is a hallucination – so when I spoke to family and friends about starting a club, I knew that I had to do what I say!
Where do you buy your horses? Or do you have your
own stud in the Czech Republic?
I only buy my horses in the UK. I’m only a polo player,
not a breeder.
What is your favourite pastime when you are not on
the polo field?
My favourite pastime is to spend time with my sons –
Elias (13) and Emir (7) – I can never get enough time
with them.
Do you have another specific hobby apart from
polo?
Only polo, okay, sometimes snowboarding, too!
In 2013 you hosted the first-ever Arena Polo tournament. One year later Gill Polo organised the first
Polo on Snow in the Czech Republic. What are you
planning for the future?
Birgit, that’s a secret at the moment, but I promise you
will be invited to be a part of it.

The wine estate Grand Cour in Geneva and Swiss wine production in short
Insights into the cellar of ‘the watchmaker’
among the Swiss winegrowers
The Geneva based Jean-Pierre Pellegrin is the ‘Swiss watchmaker’ of the winemakers. He used to give
the grapes to the local cooperative. Jean-Pierre decided in 1994 to take over the winery and to embark
on a journey focused on high quality. He personally restored the magnificent 600 year old farm
house and barrel cellar – Jean-Pierre is a passionate archaeologist. Pellegrin cultivates 25 varietals on
gently inclined slopes – that’s a record for the area. The wines have the typical souplesse, which is
characteristic of the most beautiful fruit of the vineyard of Geneva.

Swiss wine production
in short
Vineyards have been cultivated since Roman times, and some
archaeological remains in Valais even suggest that Celtic viticulture already existed ca. 800 BC. Christianity and the needs of
religious services secured the cultivation of the vineyards
throughout the obscure period between the Roman times and
the Middle Ages. Climate change, barbaric invasions, colonisations as well as vine pests and diseases have modified the shape
of Swiss viticulture over the centuries. Today, the best wines
have become the ambassadors of Swiss quality and they are
highly sought after within as well as outside the country
Switzerland is composed of 26 cantons and 4 linguistic areas:
German, French, Italian and Romanche. This creates a richness
of various expressions, which are also reflected in traditions, lifestyles, eating and drinking habits. The 15’000 ha are subdivided
into six areas: the cantons of Valais, Vaud and Geneva, the Three
Lakes Region (Western Switzerland), the German-speaking area
(Eastern Switzerland), and the Italian-speaking canton of Ticino.
More than 200 grape varieties are cultivated in Switzerland, including 17 historical and indigenous varieties like Arvine, Bondola, Chasselas, Cornalin, Completer, Räuschling, and so on,
which makes it one of the most diverse wine country in the
world.
The most typical white grape variety is Chasselas, whose extreme sensitivity to both soil and situation is reflected in subtle
differences in taste. Among the red grape varieties, the most
widespread is Pinot Noir showing different characters according
to the region and the type of vinification.

Polo Luxury & Country Life Magazine presents:
‘Handmade in Germany’
in Shanghai
With an extremely positive outlook for the future and a record
number of visitors the exhibition of the Polo Luxury & Country Life
Magazine cooperation partner ‘Handmade in Germany’ ended
last June in Shanghai. More than 60.000 visitors came to see the
four-week design exhibition in the Up-Artsh Museum in Shanghai.
The Chinese business metropolis set the starting point for Asia
of the international touring exhibition, which had already stopped
in St. Petersburg and Moscow before.

The exhibition about German luxury manufactories and their award-winning, high-end
products was ceremonially inaugurated
by the Deputy Consul General of the Federal
Republic of Germany in China, Mr Jörn
Beissert, who praised the show as a remarkable touring exhibition of German manufactories around the world. The historical tradition of German craftsmanship was regarded
as exceptional in the world, which made the
exhibition and the quality of the exhibited
products a very special experience. The exclusive Opening ceremony provided the opportunity for the invited Chinese guests and
VIPs to exchange ideas with the German
manufactory owners and directors and to
catch insight into the cultural heritage of
Germany, its modern and traditional side of
objects and people.

‘Handmade in Germany’ understands itself as a label that wants to draw
the attention to those products that are created through the individual
workmanship by artists, designers and artisans. The exhibition shows
the sensual side of German production. Not efficiency and engineering
genius are center stage here, but luxurious products that take time to
be crafted and require a focus on detail from their creators that lend
them a very special aura. This way the exhibition mixes world-renowned
luxury brands such as Königliche Porzellan Manufaktur Berlin, Fürstenberg or Burmester with individual designers and art studios such as fash
ion designer Frank Leder, Mayer’sche Hofkunstanstalt and the prestige
horology of Nomos Glashütte.
Especially in China, the currently most important luxury market of the
world, these products from Germany are – compared to the competitors from Italy or France – still relatively unknown. However, the ent
husiasm of the Chinese audience in Shanghai has shown, that high
quality products ‘handmade in Germany’ will lead to even more surprising discoveries on the next stops of the tour in China and Asia this year.

Decent living is a basic need of humans. However, anyone who can
afford it usually prefers to live in comfortable surroundings with
ample space and a high standard of finishes. Nonetheless, the priorities can be very different. A dwelling in the city is quite unlike the
home of a person preferring to live in the countryside. And those
who favour a contemporary loft will hardly ever be tempted to get
involved in renovating a cottage protected as a historic monument.
Whether it’s about a new construction, the alteration, extension or
conversion of an existing property, or the restoration of a historic
building – the ideas of fine living are as diverse as mankind itself.
Being able to turn those dreams into reality can sometimes be a
lengthy and certainly also exciting journey that the owners take together with architects, interior decorators and landscapers.
While in the old days buying a property has been a lifetime decision,
today with the growing mobility also the property market has changed.
Now, many houses and apartments change hands after just a few years.
Nevertheless, your own four walls increasingly become a haven of
peace and privacy once again. The way how you live has become an
expression of individuality and self-fulfilment, and – this remains unchanged – an unmistakeable statement of success.

Special Part I: Building, converting or buying
My home is my castle –
make residential dreams come true
Wohnen ist ein Grundbedürfnis des Menschen. Doch wer es sich leisten kann, lebt in der Regel
gerne komfortabel und gönnt sich grosszügigen Raum und einen hohen Ausbaustandard. Dabei
können die Prioritäten durchaus sehr verschieden sein. Ein Haus in der Stadt unterscheidet sich
markant von dem Zuhause eines Menschen, der das Landleben bevorzugt. Und wer ein modernes
Loft favorisiert, wird kaum je in die Versuchung kommen, ein denkmalgeschütztes Haus renovieren
zu lassen. Ob Neubau, der Aus-/Umbau einer bestehenden Liegenschaft oder die Restaurierung
eines historischen Gemäuers, die Wohnträume sind individuell wie die Menschen selbst. Diese
umsetzen zu können, ist ein manchmal durchaus langer, sicher aber auch spannender Weg, den die
Bewohner gemeinsam mit Architekten, Innenarchitekten und Gartendesignern beschreiten.
Von Birgit Hügli-Herrmann
War in früherer Zeit der Kauf einer Immobilie
eine Entscheidung fürs Leben, so hat sich mit
der wandelnden Mobilität auch der Immobilienmarkt verändert. Viele Häuser und
Wohnungen wechseln bereits nach wenigen
Jahren wieder die Hand. Dennoch oder
trotzdem werden die eigenen vier Wände
wieder stärker zu einem Ort der Ruhe und
Geborgenheit. Die Art, wie man wohnt, ist
zum Ausdruck von Individualismus und
Selbstverwirklichung geworden und ist, daran hat sich nichts geändert, auch ein unverkennbares Statement für Erfolg.
Auf vielfachen Leserwunsch erhält das Thema
«Wohnen» fortan einen festen Platz innerhalb
des Polo Luxury & Country Life Magazine.
Vielfalt ist dabei Trumpf. Unterstützt durch
die renommierte Schweizer Innenarchitektin
Kathrin Schmied, beleuchten wir zum Auftakt
die Thematik Kauf, Umbau und Renovation
von Immobilien. Grundsätzlich ist Wohnen
aber nicht eine Frage von Trends, sondern eine
Frage der Bedürfnisse. Diese zu erspüren und
umsetzen zu können, zeichnen einen guten
Architekten und Innenarchitekten aus.

Die Expertin rät, beim Kauf einer bestehenden Liegenschaft einen
versierten Architekten/Innenarchitekten vorab einzubeziehen. Zum
einen wird dieser eine realistische Bewertung für den Kaufpreis erstellen können, aber auch die bestehende Bausubstanz analysieren
und beurteilen können, welche Umbauten bautechnisch möglich
sind.

Ein innovativer Architekt/Innenarchitekt verfolgt daher stets das
Ziel, eine optimal passende Lösung für den Kunden unabhängig von
den Trends zu entwickeln. Er nimmt sich Zeit, die individuellen Bedürfnisse der Kunden zu verstehen. «Die geplante Architektur eines
Neubaus und die bestehende Architektur bei einem geplanten Umbau haben grundlegende Auswirkungen auf den Innenausbau. Aus
einer Corbusier-Villa lässt sich kein Jugendstilbau zaubern und umgekehrt. Kunden müssen integriert, begleitet und wo nötig auch
geführt werden. Nicht immer sind die Wünsche der Kunden vollumfänglich umsetzbar. Bauvorschriften, lokale Gegebenheiten, bei
historischen Gebäuden auch der Denkmalschutz und unter Umständen auch das vorgegebene Budget setzen Grenzen der Machbarkeit. Auch kann es sein, dass die Kunden etwas umzusetzen
wünschen, dass aus Sicht des Fachmanns wenig sinnvoll oder sogar
zum Scheitern des Projekts führen würde. Bei all diesen Aspekten
ist seitens des Architekten/Innenarchitekten nebst Know-how vor
allem Fingerspitzengefühl gefragt, um schlussendlich trotzdem ein
Ergebnis zu erzielen, das den Kunden überzeugt», erklärt Kathrin
Schmied.

Upon popular demand by our readers, the topic Fine Living will now
have a firm place in the Polo Luxury & Country Life Magazine. Here,
diversity is key. Supported by the renowned Swiss interior decorator
Kathrin Schmied, in our intro feature we take a look at the issue of
buying, converting and renovating real-estate. Kathrin Schmied advises
to take an architect or interior decorator on board already before purchasing an existing property. On the one hand, such an expert will give
you a realistic assessment of the purchase price, but will also be able
to analyse the existing building structure and tell you what kind of alterations will be possible from an engineering perspective. “Many a
buyer who first purchased a property and only then took his architect
and/or interior decorator on board experienced a nasty surprise. Structural defects, poor structural stability or a building structure that will not
be able to support the planned conversion can cause high additional
costs. You have to be especially careful when purchasing any property
that is protected as a national monument.”

While in the past, the kitchen, living and dining room had been separate
areas, today – mostly in modern houses – the kitchen is an open space
and quite often even blends in to form a unit with the living and dining
area. One of the reasons for this trend is the fact that the kitchen has
changed from a mere working room for the housewife to the centrepiece of the house. Kitchens as status symbols are very much en vogue
and today can easily reach the price of a luxury Italian sports car or even
more, depending on the level of finishes and customised extra features.
48
Whether living, dining and kitchen will indeed be designed as an open
integrated space is in Kathrin Schmied’s experience mostly a question
of the type of property (new or conversion) and in particular the preference of the future users.

«Mancher Käufer, der zuerst eine Liegenschaft erworben und danach
seinen Architekten und/oder Innenarchitekten mit ins Boot geholt hat,
erlebte schon ein böses Erwachen. Baumängel, eine mangelnde Statik
oder eine Bausubstanz, die dem angestrebten Umbau nicht Stand halten, lassen sich für den Laien oftmals nicht erkennen und können dann
hohe Zusatzkosten verursachen. Ganz besonders heikel ist der Erwerb
denkmalgeschützter Liegenschaften. Zu den bereits zuvor genannten
Faktoren kommen hier die Vorgaben des Denkmalschutzes zum Tragen
und diese sind in Einzelfällen derart umfangreich, dass sie schnell das
Budget zu sprengen vermögen», erläutert Kathrin Schmied.
Waren in der Vergangenheit Küche, Wohn- und Esszimmer getrennte
Bereiche, so präsentieren sich heute vor allem in modernen Häusern
die Küchen häufig offen und teilweise sogar als Einheit mit dem Wohn-/
Essbereich. Dies nicht zuletzt, da sich die Küche von einem ehemals
reinen Arbeitsraum der Hausfrau oder des Personals zum Mittelpunkt
des Hauses gewandelt hat. Küchen als Statussymbole sind durchaus en
vogue und sind heute locker mit dem Preis eines italienischen Nobelsportwagens vergleichbar und können je nach Ausstattungs- und Sonderwünschen auch mehr kosten.
Ob Wohnen/Essen/Küche tatsächlich offen zueinander gestaltet werden sollen, ist nach Erfahrung von Kathrin Schmied eine Frage vom
Objekt (Neu- oder Umbau) und im Besonderen eine Präferenz der zukünftigen Benutzer. Deshalb ist es für die Mitinhaberin von «arttesa»
wichtig, dass in der Planungsphase ausgiebige und umfangreiche Gespräche mit den Kunden stattfinden, im Rahmen derer die Bedürfnisse,
aber auch die Vorstellungen in Bezug auf Stil, Material und das angestrebte Ambiente detailliert besprochen werden. «Ich habe es in meiner
30-jährigen Tätigkeit als Innenarchitektin häufig erlebt, dass die Kunden
ihre ursprüngliche Idee verwarfen, weil ich ihnen einen Lösungsansatz
zeigen konnte, den sie so bislang nicht ins Kalkül gezogen hatten, der
aber schlussendlich ihren eigenen Bedürfnissen und den bautechnischen Gegebenheiten der Liegenschaft optimal Rechnung trug.»

Garden-Staging – Design mit Wertvermehrungsfaktor
Home-Staging, ein in Amerika seit langem bewährtes Konzept, um eine Liegenschaft für den Verkauf zu optimieren,
hat auch in Europa Einzug gehalten. Noch nicht so verbreitet, aber dennoch nicht weniger attraktiv, ist das GardenStaging. Das im Rahmen des Garden-Staging erarbeitete Konzept setzt den Fokus auf die Wertvermehrung der
Liegenschaft. Dies bedeutet im Klartext, der Gartendesigner analysiert die Wünsche seiner Kunden, bindet diese in
ein Design-Konzept ein, das die Liegenschaft optisch aufwertet und damit den Wohlfühlfaktor für die Bewohner
erhöht, aber gleichzeitig auch den Wert der Liegenschaft steigert.
© Andreas Mueller – Fotolia
Ein Pionier, der das Garden-Staging erfolgreich in der Schweiz praktiziert, ist der im luzernischen Perlen beheimatete
Garten-Designer Martin Odermatt. Aus Erfahrung weiss der Experte, dass Kunden häufig Ideen für die Umgestaltung
ihrer Liegenschaft haben, die auf den ersten Blick optisch zwar schön, der Wertsteigerung der Immobilie aber selten
förderlich sind. «Hier gilt es zu beraten und die Wünsche des Kunden so weit wie möglich in ein Konzept zu integrieren. Nur so kann die Lebensqualität des Kunden erhöht und parallel dazu das eingesetzte Kapital zur Wertsteigerung des Hauses beitragen», so Martin Odermatt. Wenn die Um- oder Neugestaltung der Gartenanlage mit einem
Um- oder Neubau einer Liegenschaft einhergeht, ist aus Sicht von Odermatt eine enge Zusammenarbeit von GartenDesigner und dem Architekt/Innenarchitekt wichtig. Dies unterstreicht auch die Innenarchitektin Kathrin Schmied.
«Eine Zusammenarbeit zwischen Architekt/Innenarchitekt und Garten-Designer ist äusserst sinnvoll und soll als
Ganzes angesehen werden. Die Verantwortungen und Abgrenzungen müssen am Anfang klar definiert und festgelegt werden. Ist dies der Fall, können alle als Team die Kundenwünsche bestmöglich umsetzen.»
Garden staging
Home staging, a thing that has been around in the US for a
long time to bring a property into perfect shape for selling, has
also become known in Europe for quite some time. Less
known but nonetheless equally appealing is garden staging.
This variety of home improvement focuses on increasing a
property’s value by making the most out of the area surrounding the house.

Just like the kitchen, also the bathrooms have experienced a change in status. For quite some
time, the bathroom is no longer merely a place of personal hygiene. Increasingly, the bathroom
becomes a multi-functional zone which can also be used as a wellness temple or health room.
For Kathrin Schmied, when deciding on the number and design of bathrooms, the basic question
is whether you are dealing with a house or an apartment. In the expert’s opinion, this will determine whether you plan individual en-suite units, i.e. one bathroom for each bedroom, or cluster
units like master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a communal bathroom for the children’s area,
and one for the guest zone. Depending on the available budget and space, you may consider
installing an indoor and/or outdoor pool, while you should not forget about the costly maintenance, apart from the actual building cost.
When it comes to deciding whether you want a home theatre or not, the expert points towards
space, budget and customer expectation as the main factors. For the perfect home cinema experience you need a separate room, while a large screen with good sound quality can be integrated both in the living area and in a library.
A wine cellar, however, is almost a must in our time – at least for wine lovers. For fine wine needs
well-groomed surroundings.

Ähnlich wie die Küchen haben auch die Nasszellen eine Imageaufwertung erfahren. Längst dient
das Bad nicht mehr alleinig der Pflege und der Körperhygiene. Vielmehr präsentieren hochwertige Liegenschaften Nasszellen mit Attributen, die eher mit einem Welless-Bereich statt einem
Bad in Verbindung gebracht werden. Whirlpool, Designerbadewanne, ebenerdige Dusche mit
Rainshower, kombiniert mit einem massgeschneiderten Lichtkonzept, sind keine Seltenheit mehr.
Das Badezimmer als multifunktionale Zone gewinnt immer mehr an Bedeutung und kann je nach
Wohnkonzept als Wellness-Oase oder Gesundheitsraum genutzt werden. Für Kathrin Schmied
stellt sich in Bezug auf die Ausstattung und Anzahl der Nasszellen die grundlegende Frage, ob es
sich um ein Haus oder eine Wohnung handelt. Davon abhängig ist nach Meinung der Expertin,
ob man einzelne Suiten-Einheiten, d.h. zu jedem Schlafzimmer ein Bad, oder Nutzungseinheiten
wie Masterbedroom mit Bad, ein gemeinsames Bad für den Kinderbereich und eines für die
Gästezone realisiert. Je nach Budget- und Raumverhältnissen kann man den Bau eines Schwimmbades und/oder Aussenpools in Erwägung ziehen, wobei nebst den eigentlichen Baukosten der
kostenintensive Unterhalt nicht ausser acht gelassen werden sollte. Kathrin Schmied empfiehlt
in unseren Breitengraden eine Innenanlage. Ein Aussenschwimmbad ist ihrer Ansicht nach sicherlich sehr attraktiv, aber wohl eher als saisonales Fun-Objekt einzustufen.

Bei der Frage Heimkino/Musikzimmer ja oder nein stehen für die Expertin zwei Faktoren im Raum: Einerseits der Platz, den ein attraktives
Heimkino benötigt und das dafür zur Verfügung stehende Budget, aber
auch die Erwartungen des Kunden. Für den perfekten Home-CinemaGenuss braucht es einen separaten Raum, während ein grosser Fernseher hingegen mit guter Tonqualität sowohl in den Wohnbereich wie in
eine möglicherweise vorhandene Bibliothek integriert werden kann.
Ein Weinkeller ist jedoch – zumindest für Freunde eines edlen Tropfens
– heute beinahe ein Muss. Denn gute Weine benötigen ein gepflegtes
Ambiente.
In Sachen Haustechnik sind die Geräte, die Funktionen elektronisch
steuern und überwachen können, mittlerweile fast unbegrenzt. Es stellt
sich eher die Frage, wie viel Interesse und Kapazität haben die zukünftigen Bewohner, um alles auszunützen und zu bedienen.

Besteht bei den Eigentümern ein erhöhtes Bedürfnis an Sicherheit, so
gilt es dieses bereits zu Beginn der Planungsphase detailliert zu diskutieren. Sicherheitsglas, spezielle Zugangs- und Schliess-Systeme, Überwachungskameras etc., das Angebot ist riesig und für den Laien nicht
überschaubar. Der Zuzug einer auf Sicherheitssystemen spezialisierten
Firma bietet sich daher je nach Umfang des gewünschten Schutzes an.
When it comes to technological implements in and around the house,
today you have a virtually unlimited array of equipment and functions
to electronically control and monitor almost any aspect of your home.
The question rather is to what extent the future residents are interested
in making use of all these options. If the owners place a high importance
on security, this will need to be discussed already at an early stage of
the planning phase. Depending on the required level of protection, it
will often make sense to involve a company specialising in security
systems.

Asien beliebten Pandas, in vielerlei Ausführungen. Jede Skulptur ist ein
Einzelstück durch die Bemalung in berauschenden Farben, die durch
ein Lack-Finish ihren schimmernden Porzellan-Look erhalten. Das verspielte Ambiente des La Mamounia bietet Marinettis bis zu 2,40 Meter

Gemalt hat Julien Marinetti, 1967 geboren, im Prinzip schon immer.
Kein Wunder, wuchs er doch mitten in Paris unter Künstlern auf. Sein

Not only was the hanging overseen by
Bianca Arrivabene, Deputy Chairman, Christie’s Italy, but also the transport, a rather
tricky one in Venice … All works arrived
back safely in London and by now all works
have been offered at auction and have found
new homes, with hopefully easier transport
operations.
What makes the Venice Biennale so different –
and so special?
Giovanna Bertazzoni, International Head of
Impressionist and Modern Art, Christie’s:
“Being Italian, the Biennale has been part of my
life since I was a child. My father is from Venice,
and I was taken to visit the Biennale when I
was just 10 or 11 years old. It began to be a
pivotal event every two years and, as a student, I started to come independently. The
Biennale offers you the chance to see the direction in which the contemporary art world
is going. Having known Venice as a child, it’s
incredibly exciting to see the city transform
into a bustling melting pot of races, languages
and artistic approaches from across the whole
world.”
What have you seen, and what have you liked?
David Linley, Honorary Chairman, Christie’s
Europe, Middle East, Russia & India:
“Upcoming young Chinese artist Jia Aili has
transformed the Teatrino di Palazzo Grassi
with a small exhibition – there are just six pictures, but they are incredibly powerful. At the
Pa-lazzo Fortuny, Boris Vervoodt has created
magic yet again, with the Anish Kapoor room
being particularly interesting. Though it’s
somewhat hard to get to, the Armenian exhibition has beautiful elements – as does the
64
Jaume Plensa show at the basilica of San
Giorgio Maggiore. I recommend visiting at
dusk, when the lights of the church are out
except for those trained on Plensa’s wire sculptures. It’s a beautiful space, and the artist has
made something that is totally unique.”
What are you most excited about seeing at the
Biennale?
Spanish artist Jaume Plensa, hailed as one of
the foremost creators of artworks for public
spaces, brings his show Together to the Basilica
of San Giorgio, a church he describes as ‘probably the most beautiful in Venice’. These new
works reflect Plensa’s interest in the body’s
relationship to space, scale, material and place.
The artist, who has long been interested in
breaking down barriers, sets up a conversation
in the space between the two vast sculptures,
Amin Jaffer, Christie’s International Director
Asian Art:
“I am very excited about the Italian pavilion
(and I am not saying this only for patriotic reasons). Vincenzo Trione is the youngest curator
that Italy has ever had for a Biennale and I am
keen to discover his curatorial project, the Italian Code, which aims to disclose the genetic
code of Italian art from Transavanguardia and
Arte Povera to the last generations of Italian

first time will bring together two countries that
have been in conflict for so long. Having a
background in political science, I find the role
of the arts in cultural diplomacy to be fascinating.”
Secret affair: An evening with Maurizio Pellegrin
Jutta Nixdorf, Christie’s Specialist Post War
and Contemporary Art, based in Zurich:
“Negotiating the narrow Venetian streets while
trying a shortcut back to our hotel at dusk, we
stumbled upon a gathering of smart looking
revellers. Once inside the diminutive yet elegant Marignana Arte gallery, we spied Maurizio

Pellegrin in a distinctively Italian ice blue suit
surrounded by friends and fans. As it happened, the show was his. Curated by Filippo
Fossati, Flying Trains, Hanging Notes, and
Other Thoughts, up through late September, is
a collection of works that offer a penetrating
view into both the artist’s practice and mindset.
The central piece, a structure of toy train rails
built into a floating circuit fixed with engine
cars riding into space, was the hook for other
constructions such as a hanging of jacquard
satin would-be garments and a shrewd composition of wood stretchers. In his show statement, Fossati writes, 'These works should be
seen in that zone between poetic idea and
corporeality.' If Pellegrin’s intent was to forge a
dream state in the real world, he certainly accomplished that task for us as we walked
home in the twilight along a sparkling sea.”
What has been your all-time Venice Biennale
highlight?
Michael Jeha, Christie’s Managing Director
for the Middle East:
“The camaraderie and pure delight during the
first year of the UAE pavilion was unique.
Working in the Middle Eastern art world, we
were not used to seeing an Arab country making a sustained effort at being present in Venice so this was all rather moving, especially
because we sensed it was there to stay. Other
moments for me were discovering Danh Vo in

Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort
Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort is renowned for its highly acclaimed
onsite Elephant Camp, which offers guests an inspirational range of fun, interactive and
educational experiences with its friendly herd of rescued gentle giants.å
Walking with Giants has been devised as an
optimum way of getting to know the elephants better and develop a deeper emotional connection. Much more than simply a
walk, it enables guests to experience the
natural joy of the elephants’ daily free roaming time, and also to gain enlightening insights from scientifically qualified experts
about how these intelligent creatures think
and behave.
Guests who sign up for Walking with Giants
join the elephants on their daily stroll, accompanied by their mahout caregivers and either
the Camp’s resident vet or biologist. After
walking from the Elephant Camp out to the
grasslands or forest, depending on the season,
the antics of either river bath time or playtime
in the mud illustrates just how cheeky these
graceful animals can be. Guests can help to
prepare snacks for the elephants, as well as
activities for their behavioural enrichment.

John Roberts, Anantara’s Director of Elephants
and Conservation Efforts, enthuses, “One of
the most inspiring and heartwarming aspects
of the camp is when we can give the elephants
freedom to roam in their native jungle habitat,
and creating this new activity provides guests
with a prime opportunity to experience the
pure joy of simply being with elephants as they
socialise and behave completely naturally. It is
also a fantastic experience for enthusiasts who
are interested in learning about these majestic
mammals from a scientific perspective.”
Under the guidance and expertise of John
Roberts, guests can rest assured that all activities are ethical at the award winning Elephant
Camp of Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant
Camp & Resort. Set up in 2003 as a traditional
mahout village, the Elephant Camp works
alongside Anantara’s Golden Triangle Asian
Elephant Foundation. To date over 40 elephants have been rescued from Thailand’s city
streets.

tion also cooperates with the Thai government
and other organisations in bigger picture projects. It has helped to fund research and clinics
using elephants in therapy sessions for children living with autism. It equipped the first
elephant hospital in Krabi, southern Thailand,
with an ATV, and has also donated to the Thai
Elephant Conservation Centre in Lampang,
among other things, a purpose built elephant
ambulance and a gantry to help lame elephants stand. The foundation also built the
world’s only facility to scientifically research
elephant intelligence and behaviour and runs
the world’s only programme to teach scientific
Positive Reinforcement training methods to

Along with its parent company, Minor International, the foundation is working with international partners and the Cambodian Government to fund the protection of an 18,000

elephant preservation projects in Kui Buri,
Thap Lan & Khao Yai National Parks in Thailand.

Two impressive shipwrecks and amazing eagle rays
Hogsty Reef – a Caribbean Atoll
With STARFISH on the way from Conception Island (Bahamas) to Great Inagua
we planned to visit Hogsty Reef. We read once in a book a story of people
living there on a boat for a couple of months, and it made us eager to explore
the area.

TRAV E L
By Ruth Beeli
Since our first time there, we revisited this wonderfully natural place
several times. We like it so much because it is a perfect place for
anchorage, it is the place for birdwatching and finding shells, and it
is great to go diving. It was the place where, every time we visited,
were able to dive with the eagle rays.
Hogsty is an uninhabited huge atoll-like structure, and as it is so remote, that hardly anyone
is visiting. But thousands of birds are looking
for a shelter every evening. There are two
small sandy islands, one only visible at low
tide. The bigger island is a beautiful patch of
sand and home to many birds. It is perfect for
a walk and for photographing birds, and little
creatures living in the sand, like hermit crabs
for instance.
Two impressive shipwrecks mark the reef.
TREBISNJICA was wrecked on the eastern part
of the reef in 1963. This ship is well on its way
to being reduced to dust. The second shipwreck lies on the southern part of the reef. It is
much smaller, and looks like an inter-island
freighter – maybe 120 feet long.
This wreck appears to be much more recent
and is in much better shape. The name – still
plainly visible – is Lady Eagle. Seagulls are
using it to sleep on the railings, and even
eagles are feeling at home on Lady Eagle.

The diving in Hogsty is really spectacular – there are hardly any reports
or information available. Nobody dives there, so it is really exploratory
diving. The waters are clear, as the area is on the borderline from the
Caribbean to the Atlantic Ocean. The reef-walls rise almost vertically
from unknown depths to the surface, and many pelagic fish species hunt
in these waters. It is one of the few areas, where encounters with the
beautifully patterned eagle rays are frequent. The animals with a wingspan of maybe 2 meters have a long tail, up to 5 meters or more. When
they glide by alongside of us, it is a truly majestic feeling! It is this kind
of encounters which motivates us to go on with boating and diving!
