SUMMER came early and we’re ready for Christmas now. Lost for ideas to thank your partners and executives for the extra hard work
they put in this year? Match their productivity gains with something special from our Christmas and summer gift guide. We have something
for everyone – from the best tipples, timekeepers, gold jewellery and classic pens through to retro-cool relaxing armchairs. And who
wouldn’t want their own turntable now that vinyl is back? But you’ll want them fit for work next year so why not send them
off to the trendiest new exercise programme – Bikram yoga. And don’t forget to indulge yourself ...
StarWalker Ultimate
Carbon
Available now from Montblanc is the
StarWalker Ultimate Carbon, the next
evolution in this dynamic collection made
from carbon fibre, and the StarWalker
Carbon, a variation embellished with
platinum-plated fittings and cap. Since its
launch in 2003, the Montblanc StarWalker
has become one of Montblanc’s most
distinctive writing instrument collections,
renowned for combining cutting-edge design
with the creative use of unusual or new
materials.
Montblanc’s StarWalker Ultimate Carbon
features a grey carbon-fibre cap and barrel
decorated with a subtle geometric pattern,
in a statement of ingenious, ergonomic
design. The use of carbon, finely woven
from thousands of fibres, delivers a light, yet
robust, writing instrument. The pen’s fittings
are ruthenium-plated, a rare transition metal
of the platinum group. The Au585 gold nib –
the very soul of the writing instrument – is
also plated with ruthenium and engraved
with the Montblanc Star emblem.
Montblanc Emblem Cufflinks
Contemporary cuff links are a reflection of their time.
Featuring the Montblanc emblem with platinum
finish and onyx creates a jewel with endless
possibilities to highlight one’s style and personality.
A wide range of classic and contemporary cufflinks

A bird in the hand
Phil Walters has come up
with a creative way to “add
beauty to an otherwise largely
indifferent world.” It’s called
Metalbird – lifesized metal
silhouettes of the Tui, Fantail,
Huia and Kereru. Walters says
the idea came from “wanting
to create something he could
covertly hammer into lamp
posts, trees and buildings
that would somehow beautify
and add value, or at least not
offend.”

Old world
meets new world
Bel Canto is an operatic
term for “beautiful singing”
and is the name given to
Pegasus Bay’s Reserve Dry
Riesling. The style has
been inspired by a new
wave of Riesling produced
in Germany and Austria
where the fruit is left to hang
on the vine to achieve an
extra dimension of ripeness
and concentration and
then fermented relatively
dry. This is delicious, rich
and full flavoured Riesling
with serious personality.
You will not regret trying
this wine!
