COLLECTOR'S PIECES<br />

ACTIVE HYBRID E-BIKE<br />
Don’t be fooled, that bicycle-like contraption<br />
you’re looking at is essentially a hybrid car. The<br />
newest addition to BMW’s Bike Collection<br />
shrewdly integrates a motor and a removable<br />
battery into the aluminium frame that boasts a<br />
range of up to 62 miles on a single charge. The<br />
bike even features four different power modes<br />
starting with Eco (50 per cent boost to pedal<br />
power) all the way to turbo (275 per cent boost<br />
to pedal power). To put it simply, you won’t<br />
break a sweat even while going uphill. The bike<br />
also comes with a headlight, rear LED indicators,<br />
micro USB port and Bluetooth connectivity for<br />
your smartphone because everyone knows you<br />
still need tunes to get pumped.<br />

THE SOLITAIRE VISION WATCH SAFE<br />
We could wax lyrical about this speaker<br />
but we’d rather blow your mind from<br />
the get-go. Master & Dynamic’s 15kg<br />
MA770 is made entirely out of<br />
concrete. Designed by Pritzker<br />
Architecture Prize winner, Sir David<br />
Adjaye, the Wi-Fi and Bluetoothenabled<br />
packs two four-inch woven<br />
Kevlar woofers and a 1.5-inch titanium<br />
tweeter; all obviously custom designed.<br />
Moreover, it even plays nice with<br />
Google Assistant for playlist voice<br />
command. What more do you want<br />
your exclusive speaker to do?<br />

Watches aren’t cheap. We’re sure you’ve already noticed but just to put things<br />
into perspective, the Piaget Altiplano 900P timepiece we’ve featured this<br />
month would set you back about $38,200. That’s about as much you would<br />
pay as down payment for an Emaar-built three-bedroom apartment at Dubai<br />
Creek Harbour. Given the exorbitant prices, it’s no wonder the German<br />
watch manufacturers want your timepieces safe with its Solitaire Vision Watch<br />
Safe. The stainless steel, precious wood, leather and bulletproof spyglass watch<br />
safe can store up to 46 timepieces which can be automatically wound, if<br />
required. It also provides storage for other accessories like jewellery, cigars and<br />
more. A humidor, bar module and integrated Hi-Fi System are also<br />
included. Even the centrepiece is an ornate word-time tourbillon clock.<br />
PRICE TBA. AVAILABLE AT BUBEN-ZORWEG.COM<br />
