Vacheron Constantin’s Métiers d’Art Florilège is a tribute to the delicacy of 18th Century botanical illustration in England

Karanvir Singh:

The oldest Swiss manufacture of fine and prestige watches, Vacheron Constantin which earlier created a one-of-a-kind timepiece, the Chagall “Tribute to 4 Composers” watch that exhibits the painted ceiling of the Palais Garnier, in the recent times launched its exclusive Métiers d’Art Florilège Collection. Described to be a vibrant tribute to the delicacy of botanical illustration in England in the late 18th Century, the Métiers d’Art Florilège trilogy for women takes inspiration from Robert John Thornton’s famous 1799 book ‘The Temple of Flora’, a major reference book that features artwork by noted botanical illustrators and painters of that time. The three plants in the book of 90 plates, including the White Lily, the China Limodoron, and the strelitzia actually invest the dials of watches that meet ancient decorative crafts including guillochage, enamelling and crimping. Limited to just 20 examples of each variation, the dial of each timepiece notably reveals a set of perspectives and exceptional depth, highlighted by a bezel set with diamonds.

At $600,000 a month: Beverly Hills’ Beverly House featured in ‘The Godfather’ movie is Country’s Most Expensive Rental

Karanvir Singh:

Sited atop a private knoll 3 blocks from Sunset Boulevard, the Beverly Hill’s legendary Beverly House built of terra-cotta stucco which impressively exhibits a perfect combination of Italian and Spanish style, which originally hit the luxury real estate market for eye-watering $165 million in 2007, got re-listed for $95 million a few years later, and now listed for $115 million, is now available for rental at a staggering price of $600,000 a month. At this price, this H-shaped residence with original landscaping by Paul Thiene easily becomes the costliest rental home in the whole of United States, beating our earlier seen most expensive rental homes including the Astor Suite at the Plaza in New York asking for $165,000 per month, Kate Winslet’s Chelsea apartment for rent at $30,000 a month, Frank Gehry’s New York penthouse at $60,000 per month, the apartment in the Waldrof Astoria tower on 50th East Street commanding $135,000 a month, and recently the Diet Coke’s new Creative Director Mark Jacobs’ 40 Mercer Street Condo which was made available for rental at $37,500. However, it’s not just the massive rental asking price that makes this residence much talked about, but the fact that it impressively hosted John and Jacqueline Kennedy during their honeymoon and also played character in two of the Hollywood’s iconic movies, including ‘The Godfather’ and ‘The Bodyguard’.

Mike Eruzione’s ‘Miracle on Ice’ hockey jersey fetches $657,250 at Heritage Auctions

Karanvir Singh:

Back on February 22nd, during the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York, the United States national ice hockey team made up of amateur, collegiate players and captained by Michael Eruzione, made history by defeating the heavy-favorite Soviet Union who had won nearly every world championship and Olympic tournament since 1954, in the famous medal-round men’s ice hockey game ‘Miracle on Ice’. And since the 4-3 ‘Miracle on Ice’ victory over the Soviets which is considered to be the greatest American sports moment of the 20th Century and a moment that transcended all geo-political boundaries, the equipment the then American captain Eruzione used had been sitting in a bag in his attic. Now, Michael Eruzione in an effort to help out his family and a charity organization auctioned his personal gear from those games. At the auction administered by Heritage Auctions in New York on Feb. 23, the day after the 33rd anniversary of the historic game, the historic jersey that Michael Eruzione wore when he scored the game-winning goal against the Soviet Union gold sold for $657,250, along with the stick for $262,900 he used and other notable sports memorabilia.
