NEST<br />

Most people do not think much of their thermostat at home… until they become<br />

aware that it controls half your energy bill. Meet Nest, the self learning thermostat.<br />

This device will not only learn your heating and cooling habits when you are home,<br />

but it will also automatically program itself and tune things when you are away.<br />

Just use it like your previous thermostat and it will learn each time you set it. It can<br />

learn your comfort zone at night and in the morning and it will adapt with your life<br />

changes. This smart device also<br />

has the ablity to be controlled<br />

remotely from anywhere and<br />

can be aware of upcoming peak<br />

energy periods from your power<br />

company. It will then fine tune<br />

your heating to use less energy<br />

during expensive periods.<br />

COST: $249.99<br />

Music Machine<br />

The intricate beauty of a music box is something<br />

that will never fade with time., especially when it’s<br />

designed by the renowned horological creators<br />

REUGE & MB&F. They have taken their 150<br />

years of expertise and their unique and exquisite<br />

line of timepieces to create The MusicMachine.<br />

This eye-catching vessel first appears to be a<br />

cross between an aeronautical hydroplane and<br />

a spaceship from a galaxy far, far away. The<br />

micro-engineering of the vessel comes with two<br />

brass cylinders that play three tunes, each about<br />

35 seconds in length. The left barrel plays two<br />

‘Star Wars’ themes & one from ‘Star Trek’. The<br />

cylinder on the right plays Pinks Floyd’s ‘Another<br />

Brick in the Wall’, Deep Purple’s ‘Smoke on the<br />

Water’ and ‘John Lennon’s ‘Imagine’. Only 66 of<br />

these will be produced. Half will be in white and<br />

the other half will be in black lacquer.<br />

Cost: $13,000<br />
