Bentley Motors new Continental GT,
the definitive Grand Tourer 0f 2018 and Beyond
Designed, engineered and handcrafted in Brit-
ain, the new third-generation Bentley Conti-
nental GT combines spirited, focused perfor-
mance with handcrafted luxury and cutting-edge
technology, to create the finest Grand Tourer ever
produced.
Wolfgang Dürheimer, chairman
and chief executive of
Bentley Motors, said:
“Bentley has been
at the forefront of luxury Grand Touring for nearly
one hundred years. The new, third-generation
Continental GT is the pinnacle of our design and
engineering achievements and marks the next step
in Bentley’s journey.
“We are
8

the world leader in luxury mobility and our products
and services define new luxury in the automotive
world. The new Continental GT encapsulates
our desire to innovate as well as celebrate our heritage
and take the Bentley ownership experience to
the next, unparalleled level.”
At the heart of the new Continental GT sits an allnew,
enhanced version of Bentley’s renowned 6.0-litre,
twin-turbocharged W12 TSI engine, mated, for
the first time, to a dual-clutch eight-speed transmission,
for faster, more efficient gear changes.
A new, technically advanced, adaptive chassis uses
Bentley’s intelligent
48-volt Dynamic Ride System to ensure a responsive
ride and exceptional handling and refinement
in all road conditions. The new system controls
ride comfort and lateral roll, cushioning passengers
from excessive movement as well as making the car
feel effortlessly precise.
The muscular exterior design, created using revolutionary
technology, results in a lightweight,
yet stiff, body. The engine is positioned
further back to improve
weight
distribution, resulting in driver-focused, dynamic
performance.
Offering four seats and improved luggage capacity
for genuine real-world usability, the new Bentley
Continental GT’s luxurious cabin is packed with ex-
quisite details such as a new ‘diamond in diamond’
leather design. In addition, significant work has
gone into harmonising the extensive portfolio of 15
colours across hides and carpets.
9

The new Continental GT also showcases major evo-
lutions in Bentley’s unique application of technol-
ogy. An advanced, fully digital, driver-focused in-
strument panel and Bentley Rotating Display for
the driver are among the suite of innovations. The
latter features an impressive 12.3” touchscreen
housed in a three-sided unit, which revolves the
veneer to reveal the touchscreen as well as three
elegant analogue dials.
The interior design of the Continental GT is tailored
specifically to the modern luxury customer,
with unrivalled attention to detail that creates an
effortless ownership experience. The cabin seamlessly
integrates cutting-edge onboard technology
with the finest handcrafted natural materials. The
result is an exquisite, harmonised, connected and
luxurious space.

Renowned for his exquisite handcrafted
jewellery designs, Matthew Ely is the leading
luxury jewellery designer and gemmologist
in Australia. Defining a new generation of
Australian jeweller, Matthew Ely specialises
in handcrafted, unique and luxury jewellery
born from a love of rare gemstones and
inspired by his clients.
With an extensive family history in jewellery,
Matthew grew up surrounded by precious
stones and exquisite design, knowing early
on that this was his destined career. A love
for design and exceptional materials was
transformed into a professional passion when
within his first year of TAFE, Matthew won the
prestigious World Skills in New South Wales,
and came 3rd in Australia.
Such success at an early age saw Matthew
recognised as a young talent and awarded
a scholarship from the Australian Overseas
Foundation. Settling in London, Matthew
was offered a chance to prove his worth
among the world’s best craftsmen at the
Jacobs Jewellery manufacturing workshop.
Mentored by the Workshop Manager who
had worked on some of the biggest diamonds
in the world (100ct+), a diamond setter whom
had worked on the English crown jewels and
a jeweller that manufactured the million
pound necklace from Boodles, Matthew
gained invaluable insight into the creation of
outstanding luxury jewellery.
26

Working alongside the best in the industry,
Matthew mastered his jewellery skills, with a
focus placed on advanced techniques and
the design of handcrafted, extraordinary
pieces.
On his return to Sydney, Matthew has drawn
upon this passion for unique and premium
jewellery to establish himself among the
top jewellers in Australia.
In 2014, only 28 years old, Matthew opened
the doors to his luxury boutique in Woollahra,
a renowned haen for fine ewellery
in Sydneys East. Maring a signifiant
turning point in his career, Matthew has
accumulated a following of clients with an
appreciation for handcrafted, luxury design.
Matthew’s passion for creating unique
pieces that are perfectly tailored to his
clientele desires is evident in the deeply
personal and tailored customer experience
at the boutique.
“My ability to work end to end on an exquisite piece
of jewellery, from sourcing the world’s rarest and most
precious gems, drawing and designing the piece with
the client, to crafting the jewellery itself means I am
able to develop truly exceptional creations that hold
sentimental value for the wearer.”

LAMBORGHINI style SOFA & DESK
RACING DESKS
and more interior products
Racing desks created by DESIGN EPICENTRUM
Manufacture are characterized by much
more than only an original idea. The style of
this furniture and their unique line will appeal to
admirers of modern design. Exclusive desks consti-
tute essence of sport cars – defiant, go-getting and
expressive. It’s like all emotions that are associated
with fast ride on a professional racetrack.
Collection of racing desks inspired by race cars is a
fulfillment of dream of the automotive enthusiasts,
but also interior designers. A realistic reference to
the sport car perfectly fits in the decor of automo-
bile company, car dealership, as well as amusement
arcade or entertainment centers. The mobility of
desks makes them an attractive decoration of com-
pany stands during fairs and events.
Creating exclusive racing desks we have taken into
account that in addition to decorative function, they
are also supposed to meet an important functional
function. Each of them is a very attractive interior
decoration, and at the same time – from the user
point of view – a very comfortable piece of furniture
for everyday work. Behind the uniform, smooth
fronts, we hid spacious cupboards and drawers for
papers and utensils.
Unique desks from the collection of DESIGN EPI-
CENTRUM Manufacture are made from the highest
quality materials, above all of fiberglass. Durable,
scratch-resistant worktop
and fronts of cupboards and
drawers much extend the
product longevity. The color
of front desks and sofas depends
on the user’s preferences
– you can choose out of
over 200 colors from RAL palette.
For extra charge we can
equip the desk in visible in a
photo glass shelf.
Each racing desk is made to
order. It is an only way to purchase
this exceptional piece
of furniture. Thanks to preliminary
conversation with
38

games interested in making desks for private apartments.
Adding a shelf is a paid service.
Each product of DESIGN EPICENTRUM Manufacture
is made in a limited edition, counting only 44
pieces. Similarly is with a model of racing desk visible
on photos. We accept orders only for 44 pieces,
and then this product will be removed from our offer
and will never available for sale. Thanks to such
a product policy, we provide the uniqueness of furniture
for our Customers. Ordered racing desks will
always be a unique, collector’s treat.
the Customer we can establish both colors and
technical details. We are open to all wishes of the
ordering party – if we only have technical possibilities
to carry them out.
We mentioned that the most important idea in
terms of racing desks design is to capture in a static
furniture form the entire dynamics of sports cars.
In this case, it is necessary to elaborate each detail
perfectly. The quality of workmanship is best seen
exactly in details – even such as realistically reconstructed
floodlights. For extra charge we can equip
them with backlight. We encourage you to use this
option, particularly if the exclusive desk will be exhibited
in the evening, in dimmed light.
On what modifications of the exclusive desks most
often decide Customers of the DESIGN EPICEN-
TRUM Manufacture? The simplest way to personalize
your furniture is to give it an individual color
scheme. The colors of sport car hood, fronts of cupboards
and drawers, as well as brake discs can be
changed without extra charges to any colors from
RAL palette – up to 200 colors. Moreover, there is
a possibility of paid alteration of the color of wheel
rims.
The possibility to select individual colors of racing
desk and additional options provide a special significance,
when it is supposed to be given as a gift. If
the Customer doesn’t have specified expectations
as for colors and equipping the product, in DESIGN
EPICENTRUM Manufacture can use advice of our
designers. They will suggest an aesthetic colorful
composition, as well as – based on conversation –
will suggest, what additional options it is worth to
use.
One of additional options available in ordering rac-
ing desks is an assembly of glass shelf not above the
top, but directly above the car hood. This gives us a
surface on which you can present chosen products
as promotional materials. This solution is recom-
mended in case of exclusive desks ordered to the
fair and events.
Thus are fulfilled dreams of automotive enthusiasts.
The luxury effect consists of many factors: well selected
colors, quality of materials and, of course,
care of workmanship. Racing desks are produced
only in one place in the world – DESIGN EPICEN-
TRUM Manufacture.
The gloss of varnish, streamlined shape and dynamic
lines of these racing desks are presented as
they were supposed to be on track. They constitute
the main decoration of every space. Next to such
furniture is not a way to pass indifferently…
The collection of racing desks is perfect as the
equipment of reception and customer service positions.
Therefore, ordering can supplement the
specification of furniture with a shelf assembled
under the top for computer keyboard. This option
will also be enjoyed by enthusiasts of computer

THE RISE OF THE AFFLUENT IMMIGRANT:
WHY THE WORLD’S RICHEST
ARE CHOOSING TO MIGRATE
The Knight Frank World Wealth Report 2017 re-
ports the world’s super-wealthy spend over USD
2.4bn on second citizenship each year, with most
demand coming from China, the Middle East, and Rus-
sia.
Immigration amongst high-net-worth individuals is
‘strong and growing’, the report notes. Indeed, some of
the world’s most affluent businesspeople are choosing
to migrate to other countries and/or adopt second citi-
zenship.
But why do high-net-worth individuals find second cit-
izenship so attractive? Is citizenship-by-investment re-
ally the best use of your money?
Let’s look at the top reasons for wealthy investors choos-
ing second citizenship, and explore the programmes
that prove most attractive.
Why do so many high-net-worth individuals opt for
second citizenship?
While every investor we talk to is different, everyone
shares some common hopes and fears:
Stability, safety and security: Global forced displace-
ment is the highest it’s been for decades. Second citi-
zenship is an insurance policy against this sort of up-
heaval, allowing those with means to secure a better
future for themselves and their family. If you’re one of
the many who worry about increasing political and eco-
nomic turmoil, citizenship-by-investment can offer in-
valuable peace of mind.
Global forced displacement is the highest it’s been for
decades. Second citizenship is an insurance policy
against this sort of upheaval, allowing those with means
to secure a better future for themselves and their family.
Global mobility: Some passports can be very restrictive
46
regarding global mobility, which can be a real hindrance
for anyone who enjoys – or relies on – international travel.
At the time of writing, the top passport-holders could
travel to 160+ countries on visa-free or visa-on-arrival
terms.
Global mobility is an issue of personal and professional
freedom. Of being able to holiday where you want; take
business meetings where you want, without lengthy visa
delays and restrictions. Global mobility is an issue of
keeping up when we live in increasingly globalised societies;
not being able to move freely really can hold
you back.
For high-net-worth individuals, citizenship-by-investment
offers global mobility that might not otherwise be
available – along with genuine personal and professional
benefits.
Trade and investment: Restrictions in global mobility
often also translate to restrictions in trade and invest-

ment, because they both stem from the same thing:
global standing.
Countries that enjoy positive standing on the world stage
also enjoy an abundance of global treaties and agreements,
which grant citizens increased rights. Countries
that are more internationally isolated enjoy fewer of
these privileges, and citizens bear the burden.
These privileges include freedom to travel easily, and
also extend to trade. There can be huge disparity in the
number of such agreements countries hold, and from
which citizens benefit.
For example, the Democratic Republic of Congo is not
the only country in Africa that holds no global goods
and services regional trade agreements. Citizens from
these countries would have no preferential rights on regional
trading which would significantly impact business
development.
On the other hand, countries such as Canada, the US,
China, and the UK enjoy around 40 regional trade
agreements that empower easier trade for their citizens.
Investing in second citizenship can give access to preferential
trade agreements and conditions that would be
otherwise inaccessible. For wealthy businesspeople,
this can deliver significant returns in terms of trade within
new territories.
Tax relief: Another major reason high-net-worth individuals
choose second citizenship is what the Knight
Frank report calls the ‘ever-growing demand from the
wealthy to move their money into safe havens’.
Many wealthy individuals are realising second citizen-
ship can pay for itself in tax relief. With a 0% corpo-
rate income tax rate (along with many other favourable
rates) offered by several countries around the world,
particularly those in the Caribbean, the potential sav-
ings are clear.
Quality of life: Many second citizenship programmes
are designed so you don’t have to live in (or in some
cases ever travel to) the country to gain and maintain
your new citizenship. While many investors see this as
a real plus, many embrace the opportunity to relocate.
47

Many second citizenship programmes are designed so
you don’t have to live in (or in some cases ever travel to)
the country to gain and maintain your new citizenship.
When money is no object, it makes sense that securing
the best possible life for you and your family would be
high on your agenda. And sometimes, that requires a
new country, a new home and a new lifestyle.
On average 32% of ultra high-net-worth individuals
plan to buy a new home outside their country of residency
in the next two years, reports the Knight Frank
World Wealth Report 2017. The UK, US, France, Switzerland,
and Spain are the five most popular locations
for second homes, while lifestyle is the most important
factor determining location choice.
For those with means, citizenship- or residency-by-investment
can be the first step in building a new life
somewhere you really want to be.
Which citizenship-by-investment programmes are most
popular?
Let’s look at three investment programmes that especial-
ly appeal to high-net-worth individuals’ main concerns.
1. The US Immigrant Investor Program: When life-
style is the most important factor determining location
choice, it’s little surprise the US Immigrant Investor Visa
is so popular. This EB-5 visa – otherwise known as a
green card – allows you to secure permanent US resi-
dency for you and your family for an investment from
only USD 500,000.
As a US resident, you enjoy domestic access to US ed-
ucation – no small thing, given that 15 of the top 20
universities in 2018 are from the US. You benefit from
world-class healthcare, and a unique culture of oppor-
tunity and liberty. For many investors, the US Immigrant
Investor Program is a golden ticket to the American
Dream.
2. St. Kitts and Nevis: The Caribbean is the undeniable
birthplace of second citizenship, and remains endur-
ingly popular amongst high-net-worth individuals as a
means of protecting their wealth. The most established
of the many Caribbean programmes, St. Kitts and Nevis
definitely deserves a mention.
St. Kitts and Nevis offers fantastic benefits for global
mobility and a laid-back island lifestyle, but the tax ad-
vantages are where the programme really comes into its
own.
There is no personal income tax or capital gains tax,
and companies that conduct business exclusively with
non-residents are exempt from all income, capital gains
and withholding taxes.
48
3. Cyprus: There are a number of citizenship and golden
visa programmes across Europe. While they all have
their benefits, Cyprus is probably the most impressive
of them all. You can secure full citizenship here in a
matter of months, and your new passport will unlock
149 countries on visa-free or visa-on-arrival terms. Cyprus
offers an attractive relocation destination too, with
a high-quality of life and good infrastructure. And you’ll
benefit from a very low corporate tax rate of only 12.5%.
One of the most interesting benefits of the programme,
though, will be your newfound status as an EU citizen –
and therefore access to the EU single market. Businesses
operating within the EU single market enjoy preferential
terms and tariffs and less red tape, making intra-EU
trade easier and more profitable.
For international businesspeople wanting to unlock
trade through the EU, Cypriot citizenship is the obvious
answer.
What does the future hold for wealthy migration and
second citizenship?
The combination of increased global wealth with decreased
stability is likely to fuel continued growth in the
second citizenship landscape.
As global wealth continues to grow, so will the highnet-worth
individuals’ need to amplify and protect it.
As global political and economic stability remains tenuous,
wealthy individuals will continue to seek refuge
in safer, more stable climes.
The combination of increased global wealth with decreased
stability is likely to fuel continued growth in
the second citizenship landscape. In turn, more countries
are expected to take advantage and set up citizenship-by-investment
programmes catering to the world’s
wealthy.
Ultimately, second citizenship will become the norm
for high-net-worth individuals, as more and more people
become global citizens.

NATURE
SQUARED
With a fundamental vision based
on the ethos of “trade not aid” Na-
ture_Squared’s_ unparalleled qual-
ity of surface applications have
been quietly inspiring and transforming
the perception of ethically
sourced and sustainable interior
design. Their pioneering approach
and commitment to environmen-
tal, social and economic causes
is seeing them go from strength to
strength.
Though it may not be a brand you
are familiar with, for years, Nature
58

Squared has been quietly creating
unimaginably opulent hand-inlaid
surfaces on land and sea.
Now with years of unprecedented
success behind them, 2018 will
see new collaborations with leading
fashion houses, architects, product
designers and the world’s biggest
global luxury brands including
Rolls-Royce, Mont Blanc and BMW.
When it comes to turning natural
materials into something eye-wateringly
lavish and beautiful, for
Nature Squared the sky is the limit.
They use everything from seashell
and bone and horn to seedpods,
bamboo and eggshell to create
their bespoke designs. All are humble
natural materials in themselves,
which are transformed into unique
high quality surfaces when set within
resins or lacquer. Designs can be
uniquely customised to the clients_’
_own specifications, demonstrated
so beautifully in the 1500m2 of fully
customised product they recently
installed into the worlds largest private
yacht.
Launched in 2000 by Paul Hoeve
and Lay Koon Tan, Nature Squared
was originally created to provide
meaningful, sustainable employ-
ment in developing countries. At a
time of rampant globalisation, the
partners wanted to create a firm
that went back to basics, using tra-
ditional artisanal skills rather than
the mass production that saturated
the market around them. They nev-
er expected the business to grow in
such a phenomenal way, but sixteen
years on they still pride themselves
on the holistic ethos that made them
launch the brand in the first place.
As such, many of the natural materi-
als Nature Squared use are by-prod-
ucts from other industries like fishing
and farming. For example, abalone
shells are sourced from a commu-
nity-based farm in Asia, eggshells
come from hatcheries, mussel shells
from a farm to name but a few. This
is just one way in which the compa-
ny proves that sustainability is at its
heart.
They never use natural materials that
are endangered, protected or threat-
ened or that cannot be found in
abundance in their natural environ-
ment. To this end they ensure none
of their materials are on the CITES
list (the Convention on Internation-
al Trade in Endangered Species of
Wild Forna and Fauna) and if they
suspect that a material not found on
the CITES list has been sourced un-
ethically like poaching abalone or
shagreen they won’t use it in their
designs
They even go as far as to encourage
clients to ship their creations by sea
freight rather than by plane to cut
down on their own carbon footprint.
Furthermore, Nature Squared’s designs
are also all made in their own
premises in the Philippines, allow-
ing local artisan craftsmen to sup-
port themselves and provide a better
future for their families.
With the unprecedented success,
Nature Squared has enjoyed whilst
maintaining its ethical credentials,
now seems the perfect time for them
to step out of the shadows and into
the spotlight.

The Luxury Network Germany Luxury Sports
Car Spring Drive to Wine Street
On the 20th of May The Luxury Network Ger-
many started its outdoor event program this
year with an exclusive luxury sports car drive
from Frankfurt, through the palatinate forest to the
German Wine Street. The participants enjoyed scenic
twisting roads, gorgeous natural landscapes, unique
locations and culinary specialties.
15 luxury sports cars participated at this very spe-
cial driving experience and lifestyle event. The fleet
included several Aston Martins (e.g. Vantage V8 &
V12S), Ferraris (e.g. California T & T HS), Maserati
GTS, Porsches (e.g. 911 Turbo, GTS, GT3), McLarens
(570S & 570S Spider), Audi R8 V10 plus and a Lambo-
rghini Huracán Performante.
This one day driving experience started with a gourmet
lunch at “GUT LEBEN am Morstein”, an unique architectural
and culinary treasure, including a gourmet
restaurant, boutique hotel and unique meeting facilities.
After 3 years of renovation this heritage compound,
including the 1899 build Villa Keller and the
Trappischen Hof, with its historical wine cellars from
the 15th century, just recently opened its doors to the
public. Chef Peter Kubach and Sous Chef Bernd Witte
worked in many Michelin star restaurants globally.
The relaxing lunch was followed by a several hour
long drive on small winding roads through the palatinate
forest. Highlight was a 10 mile long single-lane
mountain road, flanked by old pine- and oak-trees,
passing steep bluffs and ending at the Haardt-Peak,
offering a stunning view over the Rhine-Valley to-

to a perfect day. The Luxury Network guests got re-
served front door private parking as well as their own
VIP lounge area, where champagne, wine and delicious
food was served.

Peroni Sunset Cinema’s
From the last 2nd to 14th May, Peroni Sunset
Cinema’s inaugural edition was an unprece-
dented success.
It seems that the relationship between Singapore
island, Sentosa, and Peroni must have been born
under an auspicious star. Indeed, the Italian beer
brand, a The luxury Network’s member, was al-
ready partnering with the Singapore Yacht Show
last April.
Last month, this open-air cinema gave the guests
the opportunity to enjoy new release films in a re-
laxed, yet refined ambiance. Thanks to wireless
headphones, which every customer is issued upon
entry, every attendee was able to be plunged into

the film atmosphere, toes in the sand, without being
disturbed by external sounds.
Peroni Sunset Cinema was the best way, for young
and old alike not only, an event to appreciate new
released movies, but also the best occasion to
taste coastal cuisine and sunset drinks from their
partner The Tanjong Beach Club. Guests were encouraged
to arrive as early as 5 pm to catch up old
friends or meet new ones, and be entertained by
several DJs before the cinema performance.
There was nothing more you could wish, than
strolling in this tropical beach setting conductive
to the finest Instagram shots, while cheering with
some chilled Italian Peroni beers.
Undoubtedly, Peroni and Sentosa’s lucky star will
keep shining, and this deeply rooted relationship
intertwined with a flawless organization will give
growth to many other successful events !
