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 />
