MA9000 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER<br />
COLLECTOR'S PIECES<br />
It’s the most powerful integrated amp produced by the New<br />
York-headquartered audio specialist, generating 300 watts of<br />
power per channel – plenty enough to drive any high-end speaker.<br />
Don’t be fooled by its sharp-edged boxy aesthetic that looks as<br />
though it was a product of the Nineties. This integrated amp brings<br />
things up to date with 10 analogue and six digital inputs including a<br />
USB port. Moreover, the optical module can be switched up and upgraded<br />
as new technology comes along. Sounds like the future to us.<br />

V152 WINDER<br />
It’s a BMW straight-six engine block that has been converted into a watch<br />
winder. We all love our manual-winding mechanical timepieces, but spending<br />
the better part of the commute to the office winding it up isn’t an attractive<br />
proposition. This watch winder will take over the job for you. Mount your<br />
watch, or up to six of them, on the pistons that are configured with cushions<br />
that submerge into the block during the winding process. You can electronically<br />
control the speed, acceleration and frequency of the winding process to<br />
prevent damage to the movement. These made-to-order watch winders are<br />
numbered and limited to just 52 units.<br />

Trondheim Trawlers<br />
TRONDHEIM 43<br />
This is the world’s first electric trawler – the<br />
kind you’d want to use to wade into<br />
Norwegian fjords and freezing Alaskan<br />
waters and leave behind a minimum carbon<br />
footprint. There are two Torqeedo Deep<br />
Blue i 1,400rpm electric motors powered<br />
by two battery packs. Built as a Class A<br />
vessel, this one’s set up for long-range<br />
(2,500 nautical miles) expeditions. On fullelectric<br />
mode, it can travel for up to six<br />
hours. There are two diesel generators on<br />
board to recharge those batteries. It can<br />
accommodate up to six people with all the<br />
necessary creature comforts on board. Get<br />
set to plot those navigation charts.<br />
