RIGHT-HAND RINGS The right-hand ring trend has been around for years but gained more prominence as of recent. They were originally called “cocktail rings” as accomplished women celebrated their power and independence during their “all womens” cocktail parties in the 1930s. Today, large gemstone rings are more widely seen as a way to commemorate a milestone, an accomplishment, or self-love. A terrific holiday or Valentine’s Day gift.

THE NEW ROLEX SKY-DWELLER WITH OYSTERFLEX BRACELET COMFORT EXTREME

Originally launched in 2012, the Sky- Dweller is now fitted for the first time with the Oysterflex bracelet, which debuted to great acclaim in 2015 on the Yacht-Master and appeared on the Daytona in 2017. This is the first time the bracelet has been applied to a watch outside the professional sport range and the first time it has been used on the Sky-Dweller, debuting on the 18k yellow gold model. The Oysterflex may look like a rubber bracelet, but it is much more than that. It is made of a very soft, flexible elastomer with an internal cushion system that makes it extremely well fitting and comfortable. The elastomer is molded to fit over a flexible metal blade made of a titanium and nickel alloy, so you get the strength of metal and the comfort of rubber-like elastomer, along with a sporty look. The Rolex Glidelock on the Oysterflex bracelet has six notches of approximately 2.5 mm, allowing the bracelet length to be adjusted easily, up to 15 mm.

| PAGE 1 8 |

THE 42 MM CASE CATCHES THE LIGHT LIKE A WELL-CUT DIAMOND

Rolex went a long way to make sure the Sky-Dweller with the Oysterflex bracelet is an extremely comfortable watch — easily worn while traveling — but it is also an extremely functional complication. It has a date window, with the signature Cyclops lens cover, and it is a dual timer, with a 24-hour second time zone for reference time on the inner dial ring. A clever month index is shown discreetly as a red square in a window behind each hour marker on the center dial. For example, January is represented by 1 o’clock, February by 2 o’clock, and so on. The border of each tiny opening is chamfered to perfection. The Sky-Dweller is equipped with the Ring Command system. This mechanism of interaction between the rotatable bezel, the winding crown, and the movement, developed and patented by Rolex, allows the user to select the watch’s functions one-by-one — calendar (date and month), local time, or reference time — by turning the fluted bezel counterclockwise by one, two, or three positions

respectively. The selected function can then be rapidly adjusted in either direction using the winding crown. The simple and intuitive Ring Command system is a complex mechanism consisting of around 50 components. Its design demanded state-of-the-art watchmaking and micromechanical expertise.At the heart of this system are a double cam and levers that engage various gear trains inside the movement, according to the function selected. One of these cams is activated by pulling out the winding crown; the other is driven by rotating the bezel to activate setting wheels located in the middle case of the watch. The movement, Rolex 9001, is one of the most complex calibers created by the brand. It features a blue Parachrom hairspring, 72-hour power reserve, and exceptional shock resistance and accuracy. The 42 mm case is yellow gold, with Rolex’s signature fluted bezel, which catches the light like a well-cut diamond.

DEFINITION OF OENOPHILE :

wine cellar a fine

A LOVER OR CONNOISSEUR OF WINE.

We have always been fascinated by a home wine cellar. If you are like us, you look forward to wine o’clock in the evening. Many of our clients have shown us their incredible wine cellars at home. Some are an event in and of themselves. Others are innovative uses of space you might not have thought would be perfect for a smaller wine room. While a large wine cave is impressive and might cost many

thousands of dollars to build, a small area like a closet, pantry or under a stairway can allow you to create your very own small wine cellar. We thought it would be fun to do some research on what you need to emulate the most chic wine cellars available. While some of these suggestions are DIY projects, others might require some outside help, but here is what we’ve learned.

THE HOLIDAYS ARE UPON US. IMAGINE YOUR NEXT FAMILY GATHERING OR PARTY WHERE YOU’RE GATHERING IN THE WINE CELLAR OR WINE ROOM TO CHOOSE OR TASTE A SAMPLE OF YOUR WINE COLLECTION. THAT COLLECTION MAY BE JUST YOUR FAVORITE BOTTLES UNDER $20 OR THE MOST COLLECTIBLE WINES OF A PARTICULAR REGION OR WINES YOU’VE BOUGHT AND COLLECTED IN YOUR TRAVELS.

S H E I B A N J E W E L E R S M A G A Z I N E

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A WINE SNOB TO APPRECIATE A GOOD WINE. FOR THOSE SEEKING A FUN HOBBY, WHY NOT COLLECT SOMETHING YOU NOT ONLY APPRECIATE VISUALLY AS A BEAUTIFUL DISPLAY, BUT CAN ALSO BE CONSUMED? WIN-WIN!

CLIMATE CONTROL If there is a secret to success, this is step one. Wine is delicate and doesn’t do well with big temperature and humidity fluctuations. Keeping your wine in good shape starts here. Did you know the ideal temperature is 55-58 degrees Fahrenheit? For shorter term storage of two-three years, 65-68 degrees will do fine. Whites are more delicate than reds and are much more sensitive to big temperature extremes. There are a couple options to maintain the optimal temperature and humidity in your wine cellar. Active: You can either invest in a good wine refrigerator, cooler, or cooling system. Passive: You can choose a cool, dry, dark spot for your wine cellar, away from windows or exterior walls, where the wine stays protected from exterior temperature changes year round. HUMIDITY CONTROL Humidity is really only an issue if you are planning to hold wines for over 15 years. You may be asking why humidity is a concern at all, since they are bottled? The answer lies with the cork. In order for it to stay in good condition and not affect the taste of the wine — since it should be touching it — a relative humidity of 50% to 75% is ideal. When the humidity is below 50%, the cork can dry out, and when the humidity is above 75%, the labels can deteriorate.

OENOPHILE. THIS TERM WAS DEVELOPED BY THE FRENCH IN

THE 1800S COMBINING TWO GREEK WORDS OENO , MEANING

WINE, WITH PHILE , MEANING LOVER OF.

LIGHT CONTROL Ultraviolet light is one of wine’s enemies. It can prematurely age the wine. Take great care with sparkling wines and whites, as they are very light sensitive. VIBRATION CONTROL Reds do not like to be disturbed! Constant vibrations from a nearby fridge or dishwasher are a big no-no. RACK CONTROL Did you know that wine likes to stay horizontal? Keep your jokes to yourself. The wine should stay in contact with the cork. That’s a good thing. Store your bottles with the label facing up so that any sediment deposits can be seen while pouring. Avoid using woods like cedar within the shelving and walls, as that can affect taste. Mahogany is a favorite with those contractors in the know.

| PAGE 2 2 |

Organization goes beyond looks; most people organize their wines by region. Consider those reds for higher up positions where they can age. More ready-to-drink wines can then be stored at waist-to-eye level for easy access. Also, allow shelving to show off those incredible dead soldiers (empty bottles). Some are certainly worthy of keeping and will have wonderful stories behind them. ORIGINAL CASES If you look at the auction market, prices for full, unopened cases holding a dozen bottles are greater than what they would be for 12 loose bottles. Think of a toy still in its original packaging from 50 years ago: It’s more valuable because it’s been handled less. So it makes sense to keep the most collectible bottles in their original cases until they are ready to drink, if possible. ACCESSORIZE Time to button things up — to dot the “i” and cross the “t.” The right accessories add to the wine lover’s experience. With everything from stemware and corkscrews to aerators and charms, add some style and spice of your own to the flavor found within the bottles you’re breaking open. Nearly as important as the wine itself, a good wine glass will help you fully appreciate the flavor, depth, and aroma of your wine. A glass partially filled and held by the stem allows for the full experience of wine consumption, making the right glass the best accessory. Pick the right one for the job. For the ultimate connoisseur, a wine decanter will help wine shed its sediment and grow in flavor. To document your tastings, consider a wine album and record your notes on each wine’s taste and the food consumed with it.

ORGANIZED PRESENTATION One of the cool things about a wine room or cellar is the many ways they can be designed. If you’re into home decorating, a wine room offers a unique opportunity to create a mood or vibe. You can go modern or you can go more European and Tuscan. There are looks that fit the modern apartment and looks that make you feel as if you’re on a wine tasting tour in the hills of the Piedmont region in northern Italy. Some of the options are so visually stimulating that they are artistic wall displays popping with color and pattern and texture and beautiful lighting. It is all about the symmetrical organization of different colored bottles and labels or the way it is lit and set off from the surrounding area. When it comes to a cellar, the entire room can envelope you with aroma, texture, and ambiance. Larger rooms may even have a place to sit and enjoy a glass with close friends. Things you might consider are: • Wine racks, shelving, or custom cabinets. Six-bottle rectangular wooden bins are very attractive. • A wine glass caddy • A bar table and stools or some armchairs for serving and lounging • Good lighting that serves as both task lighting and ambiance • Barware like corkscrews, glass decanters, and other accessories • A wine refrigerator for champagne or fragile aged wine There is something special about wine that makes you want to show it off. It doesn’t belong behind closed cabinet doors. That is why you see so many incredible commercial wine coolers with glass doors making their way into homes. They are sometimes the size of a refrigerator, stand on their own, and always incredibly lit.

BENEFITS OF A WINE CELLAR When wine is born, it’s really just some grape juice, water, yeast, and perhaps some exotic spices. But wonderful things happen when it ages and ferments in tanks and barrels for months or years, and is then bottled and shipped off to be enjoyed or stored for further aging and development. This last step is where a wine cellar can come in handy. Although this might sound pompous, once you have one, you may shudder at the thought of leaving that expensive bottle of wine on the kitchen counter (at 71 degrees) for even a day. What is possibly the most rewarding thing about a wine cellar? The answer lies in what is the most costly thing about most red wines — age. If you buy a bottle of good cabernet today, imagine the velvety richness you’ll be rewarded with 10 years from now. To parody an old famous commercial, “enjoy great wine the old- fashioned way…earn it.” That’s right. Through patience you will be rewarded. Nothing finer than that and your guests who did not participate in that will be equally rewarded and appreciative of your diligence. You can enjoy those fantastic openings alone or with a dearly loved one! The top of the bell curve can be elusive, so open a bottle a year until it reaches it’s peak, then finish the case or two off over the next 12 months. Wine is a living thing. It is born on the vine, squeezed in its youth, then gradually aged to perfection. But the wine cellar can be misused. The finest bottle of cabernet might have a 20-year lifecycle. Drink it at two years old it’s pretty good. However, you might really savor it on its 10th birthday. Then it might slide into an amber-colored, vinegar tasting death at 20. So when thinking about the proper size of your wine cellar or wine room, it is best to consider the amount of wine you like to consume over the course of time. The ratio of reds to whites is important to consider, as well. There are people who have 3,000 to 5,000 bottles or more in their collection. Impressive, but probably not so wise. Assuming all wines get better with age would be a huge mistake, and some collectors find themselves throwing out prized buys. Consider that a vintage port might be good for 50 years, while an Italian pinot grigio might be best at age 1 or 2. Your favorite sauvignon blanc? Drink it today as it won’t last a year. Owning a wine cellar allows you the huge benefit of providing yourself with a well-chosen selection of wines, ensuring you always have the right wine on hand for the right occasion. And for those who keep up on the new red vintage you can’t live without, a wine cellar allows you to stock up and hold onto those great bottles for years to come. Just don’t forget to tag them to remind you when they are best served. SOMETHING TO CONSIDER A true oenophile has to not only consider their cellar placement, temperature, and humidity, but security as well. Some collections can be quite valuable, and some kids can be quite curious. Lastly, if you’re building a cellar and have the space, consider a good sized counter or table for unloading wine. While the thought of enjoying wines in the cellar with friends is enticing, consider the 55-58 temperature as probably being less than ideally comfortable for a long stay.

WATCHE S T HAT I NC LUD E T HE B E S T O F BOT H O L D AND NEW WOR L D S modern time The luxury watch industry is very traditional. Many of the brands’ current collections have been in existence for a long time, with new releases consisting of variations and updates of existing iconic models. For the past several years, the trend has been to faithfully reproduce the design elements of original models. Homage editions revive the dial configurations, colors, and marker shapes of fan-favorite models from the ’50s to the ’70s. Recently, however, tribute pieces have given way to the introduction of new editions that represent thoroughly modernized editions of old favorites. Color is a big part of this rejuvenation. Dials are red, green, blue, and edgy black or gray, instead of the vintage ivory and off- white dials that dominated vintage designs. Super-LumiNova, which didn’t even exist until the 1990s, is everywhere, in bolder applications and more color variations, sometimes lighting up full dials. New movements are another big part of the rejuvenation, with most brands now producing state-of-the-art in-house movements to be introduced throughout their collections. Here are some examples of the latest modern additions to fan-favorite watch collections.

A new version of the ROLEX DAYTONA (previous page) is out of this world. It has a solid meteorite dial that adds a unique decorative touch to the watch with precious metal versions of the sporty model, including white gold, yellow gold, and Everose, Rolex’s proprietary rose gold. Rolex extends the special dial treatment to new models of the Datejust 36 with palm or fluted motifs. The new palm frond motif evokes lush, vibrant tropical forests, while the fluted pattern pays tribute to the grooves on Rolex’s signature fluted bezels. The new versions of the Datejust 36 are equipped with caliber 3235, with a precision rating of -2/+2 seconds per day. The Rolex Datejust, first launched in 1945, was the first selfwinding waterproof chronometer wristwatch to display the date in a window at 3 o’clock on the dial — viewed through the signature cyclops lens. The Datejust 36 is water resistant to 100 meters. As the new official partner of Ironman, there is a new power watch in the ENDURANCE PRO COLLECTION BY BREITLING . The colorful case of the Endurance Pro Ironman is made of a robust and ultralight material called Breitlight, which Breitling first introduced in 2016. It is 3.3-times lighter than titanium and 5.8-times lighter than steel, which makes it ideal for sports watches. It’s also thermally stable, scratch proof, and hypoallergenic. The watch contains a modern quartz movement called SuperQuartz. First introduced by Breitling in 2014, it is 10-times more accurate than conventional quartz, and COSC certified, which means it is accurate to -4/+6 seconds her day.

COLOR IS A BIG PART OF

THIS REJUVENATION. DIALS ARE RED, GREEN, BLUE, AND EDGY BLACK OR GRAY.

THE TUDOR BLACK BAY CERAMIC has a case made of the miracle material of the modern watch industry: ceramic. It is scratchproof, hard enough to be bullet- proof, and lightweight, which makes it ideal for a sports watch. This model also has one of the most advanced movements in the watch world, the manufacture caliber MT5602-1U, certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC). The watch also comes with a Master Chronometer certification from METAS, meaning it is able to function within a 5-second range of variation each day (0 +5), as opposed to COSC’s slightly less stringent standards (-4 +6).

THE OMEGA SEAMASTER 300 is the latest version of the brand’s first dive watch, introduced in 1957. The many updates and upgrades include a slimmer, more wearable case and a thinner bezel made from an oxalic, anodized aluminum

for increased hardness. The most notable change, though, is the dial, for which Omega used a sandwich concept, including a base layer with Super-LumiNova and a second plate over the top with cuttings for the hours and numerals. And, of course, there is a new movement, the coaxial master chronometer caliber 8912, certified by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS), the industry’s highest standards of precision, performance, and magnetic resistance. THE ROLEX EXPLORER has been enriched with a touch of gold this year with yellow Rolesor, a true Rolex signature combining 18k yellow gold and Oystersteel. A sparkling rim of gold also surrounds the numerals and hands. The dial has been given a rich, glossy lacquer finish, in keeping with the model’s climb into gold territory. The black color contrasts beautifully with the indexes and signature 3, 6, and 9 numerals, especially since they are now lit up with new and improved Chromalight, Rolex’s proprietary luminescent material. In dark conditions, the hands and hour markers glow a vibrant blue, and in daylight, they remain a bright white. The movement is also

new for the Explorer. The caliber 3230 features Rolex’s signature Chronergy escapement with a blue Parachrom anti-magnetic hairspring, Paraflex shock absorbers and a power reserve of 70 hours.

OF THIS REJUVENATION.

The new 42 mm ROLEX EXPLORER II is all Oystersteel, a unique alloy that is particularly strong and corrosion resistant — perfect for an adventure watch like the Explorer II, which has the added function of a second time zone. It is indicated on a 24-hour display with an orange hour hand on the central dial. It contains the Rolex caliber 3285, which is new to this model. It features Rolex’s patented Chronergy escapement with a blue Parachrom anti-magnetic hairspring, Paraflex shock absorbers and a power reserve of 70 hours. The Explorer was sized down a notch this year to 36 mm from 39 mm, but that takes it back to the beginning — the Explorer was 36 mm when it was first introduced in 1953. The Explorer II remains a robust 42 mm.

ROADSTER

T HE F I R S T SU P E RCAR TO S E T E V E R Y P E R FORMANCE R ECORD AND S T I L L F I T S E A T I NG FOR FOUR .

The second-generation Tesla Roadster, originally unveiled in 2017 and expected to enter the market in 2022, is the quickest car in the world, with record-setting acceleration, range, and performance. With SpaceX’s package it will go 0-60 mph in 1.1 seconds! WHAT’S OLD IS NEW AGAIN The Roadster will be a new addition to the Tesla lineup when it eventually enters production, resurrecting the nameplate worn by the company’s first model back in 2008.

DESIGNED FOR PERFORMANCE AND AERO EFFICIENCY

As an all-electric supercar, Roadster maximizes the potential of aerodynamic engineering — with record-setting performance and efficiency. GLASS ROOF A lightweight, removable glass roof stores in the trunk for an open-air, convertible driving experience.

FOR REFERENCE, IF THAT 60-MPH TIME HOLDS UP, IT WILL MEAN THE ROADSTER IS A FULL SECOND QUICKER THAN ITS KEY RIVAL, THE GASOLINE-POWERED MCLAREN 570S.

JUST PLAIN FAST In November 2017, Tesla revealed the second-generation Roadster. Plans were made for a 2021 release, but it’s now expected to arrive for the 2022 model year. The good news? Until then, you could visit one on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, California. Tesla hasn’t been bringing out the new Roadster prototype often since the unveiling. This is understandable, considering the production version has been delayed several times. Tesla is not looking to promote it too soon or too much. But this past summer it was in the rare situation where anyone who wanted to buy a ticket for the Petersen Automotive Museum could go and see it. And now you can order it as well. There, next to the car, was an interesting plaque that reveals a startling zero-to-60 mile-per-hour time of 1.1 seconds, when equipped with the SpaceX package. Huh? Musk took to Twitter to confirm the revelation, saying that it’s possible with “the SpaceX rocket thruster option package.” In true James Bond fashion, the Roadster might have cold air thrusters, supplied by compressed air tanks, with the thrusters hidden behind the license plate that’ll help propel the all-wheel-drive sports car to cruising speeds. Without the package, Tesla claims the car should be able to hit 60 mph (96 kilometers per hour) in 1.9 seconds, still mind-blowing, to say the least.

Musk has made a lot of promises with the Roadster, claiming the car will offer 620 miles of range with its tri-motor configuration — one in the front and two in the back — that will power all four wheels. The power and range will come from a 250-kilowatt-hour battery. When Tesla revealed it in 2017, the company said the car would offer 7,375 pound-feet (10,000 Newton-meters) of torque and that it would hit 100 mph (160 kph) in 4.2 seconds, which is quicker than most cars to 60. It would complete the quarter-mile in 8.8 seconds. All that performance won’t be cheap, as the car will be capable of reaching speeds over 250 mph (402 kph). The base Roadster starts at $200,000 with the Founders Series car, of which only 1,000 will be made, costing $250,000 each. Tesla required $50,000 to reserve one, and it should be a stunning performance car when it arrives. Musk often remained vague about a new official timeline for the electric hypercar program, but he confirmed earlier this year that the engineering of the new Tesla Roadster will be completed this year in order to enter production in 2022. He even said that he expects Tesla to have a new drivable release candidate by the end of the summer and that version should end up being the production version available next year.

We emerged from lockdown in the spring to the vibrant neon energy of bright pinks, yellows, greens, and aquas. Those colors linger as accents as we transition into a range of comforting new neutrals for the fall, including saturated oranges, deep reds, and forest greens. Some of this year’s color combinations are surprising: Pantone’s top two colors of the year are the stony shades of Ultimate Gray and Illuminating, a golden buttercup yellow that will warm your heart. The two colors look great together — who would have thought? — and Vogue magazine called them the standout colors of 2021.

“Ultimate Gray is emblematic of solid and dependable elements that are everlasting and provide a firm foundation,” says Leatrice Eiseman of the Pantone Color Institute.“It is the color of pebbles on the beach whose weathered appearance highlights an ability to stand the test of time. It quietly assures, encouraging feelings of composure, steadiness, and resilience.” The second color, Illuminating, is one of strength and positivity, she says. “Illuminating is a bright and cheerful yellow, sparkling with vivacity. It is aspirational and gives us hope. We need to feel that everything is going to get brighter.” Likewise, the new colors released by paint companies this year are all about comfort. A new generation of saturated, restful neutrals provide a sense of sanctuary. Sherwin-Williams likes Urbane Bronze, a gray shade that is slightly darker than Pantone’s Ultimate. The company also released a light burgundy called Passionate, along with a pale apricot it describes as having overtones of “barely there pink,” like “minimally finished hardwood.”

Benjamin Moore goes earthy with a goldish hue it calls Chestertown Buff, and follows up with the blue-green Agean Teal, a color that “invites us to take a moment to reflect and reset.” Glidden likewise likes blue hues right now, introducing Aqua Fiesta, the tone of crystal-clear tropical water, and PPG released Misty Aqua, which it says is “all about looking ahead to cloudless skies and imagining destinations.”

And then there is green. Every paint company has one shade or another of this organic tone on its palette this year, from Behr’s pale green Jojoba to Pantone’s olive-hued Pepper Stem. Green is currently the hottest color in luxury watches, and it has long been the color that represents ecology and the environment.

HERE ARE SOME FUN FACTS ABOUT COLOR, INCLUDING SYMBOLISM AND LORE, TO REMIND US OF HOW IMPORTANT COLOR IS TO OUR WORLD, AND HOW DULL THINGS WOULD BE WITHOUT IT.

RED IS THE COLOR OF LOVE. IT RADIATES PASSION AND VITALITY. TWOMAGICAL ELEMENTS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH RED: FIRE AND BLOOD, WHICH REPRESENT WARMTH AND LIFE ITSELF. IT IS THE COLOR OF INTENSITY, APPETITE, AND ADVENTURE. IT’S AN ATTENTION-GETTING TONE, HENCE THE RED STOP SIGN AND THE RED FIRE ENGINE — AND 77 PERCENT OF ALL NATIONAL FLAGS INCLUDE RED. YELLOW IS THE MOST LUMINOUS OF ALL THE COLORS IN THE SPECTRUM, AND IT THEREFORE CAPTURES OUR ATTENTION MORE THAN ANY OTHER — THE HUMAN EYE PROCESSES YELLOW FIRST. MANY DIVE WATCHES HAVE YELLOW DIALS OR MARKINGS FOR GREATER VISIBILITY UNDER WATER. IT’S A HAPPY COLOR THAT REMINDS US OF SUNSHINE, DAFFODILS, LEMONS, AND THE HAPPY FACE EMOJI. BLUE IS THE WORLD’S FAVORITE COLOR. IT IS COOLING AND SOOTHING AND ASSOCIATED WITH WISDOM AND CLARITY. SOFT BLUES ARE THOUGHT TO CALM THE MIND AND AID CONCENTRATION. DARK BLUE IMPLIES TRUST, DIGNITY, INTELLIGENCE, AND AUTHORITY. BRIGHT BLUE SIGNIFIES STRENGTH, DEPENDABILITY, AND COOLNESS. BLUE IS A DEPENDABLE, LOOKS-GOOD- ANYWHERE COLOR THAT IS ALL ABOUT PEACE AND SERENITY. GREEN IS A PERENNIAL FAVORITE THAT HAS COME TO REPRESENT THE VERY PLANET WE SHARE. IT IS THE COLOR OF ECOLOGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT, OF GREEN SPACES, SPRING, REGENERATION, AND FERTILITY. IT’S A LUCKY COLOR TO THE IRISH AS WELL AS MANY OTHER CULTURES, AND IT REPRESENTS RENEWAL AND ENERGY. A GREEN LIGHT MEANS GO! THERE ARE MORE SHADES OF GREEN THAN ANY OTHER COLOR, FROM THE LIME GREEN OF PERIDOT TO THE DEEP RICH GARDEN GREEN OF EMERALD. ORANGE IS THE ONLY COLOR NAMED AFTER A FRUIT—OR IS THE FRUIT NAMED AFTER THE COLOR? EITHER WAY, IT IS A VIVID, BRACING HUE THAT CAN MEAN LUXURY IN SOME SHADES AND SERVE AS A WARNING SIGNAL IN OTHERS — THINK TRAFFIC CONES AND POLICE VESTS. IN NATURE, IT SHOWS UP IN SUNSETS, RAINBOWS, FIRE, AND FLOWERS. IT IS THE COLOR OF HALLOWEEN, CHEETOS, AND MARMALADE. IT REPRESENTS VITALITY, WARMTH, CHEER, AND ADVENTURE. PINK HAS BECOME A STAPLE COLOR IN FASHION AND DECOR. SHADES RUN THE GAMUT FROM SOFT NEUTRALS TO VIBRANT NEON STYLE STATEMENTS. PINK SYMBOLIZES BLOSSOMING LOVE AND THE FRESHNESS OF YOUTH. IT IS THE COLOR OF ROMANCE, WARMTH, AFFECTION, AND TRANQUILITY. MORE SOOTHING THAN STIMULATING, PINK REPRESENTS THE FEMININE PRINCIPLE, REPRODUCTION, AND THE SURVIVAL OF THE SPECIES.

THAT NARNIA FEELING Stepping into Norway’s awesome winter landscape on a winter’s morning felt as magical as stepping through the wardrobe into Narnia. The white snow crunched under our feet, and the trees were laden with soft powder, as though they had been dredged in icing sugar. Lights twinkled in the early morning light, and although snowy, the temperature hovered just around freezing. THE THIEF We had arrived late the evening before and sank into the soft comfy beds of The Thief, one of Oslo’s top hotels. A warmer welcome would be hard to find. At one time, its location was a haven for smugglers, thieves, and vagabonds, but today it is hideaway for all those who appreciate the finer things in life.

Surrounded by international art and an appealing atmosphere, it is the perfect place to relax, enjoy Nordic cuisine, and chill out in the spa. THE FJORD Oslo’s fjord is easily accessible and was just a stone’s throw from the hotel, so early next morning, we made our way to the quayside, where the ferries leave for the islands scattered off shore. The white glistening snow gave the illusion of daylight, even before the sun rose. We took a ferry, which left every hour, calling in at several tiny islands, where colorfully painted cabins rose from the deep, white, crisp snow, which surrounded them. Streaks of blue and yellow broke free from the snow laden clouds and were reflected in the calm icy waters.

MARITIME HISTORY Back on shore it was time to explore the city’s maritime history. Our first port of call was the Viking museum. Here old Viking ships and relics are housed in a great souring building with stark white walls which highlight the giant wooden boats. At times, the inner space is transformed with dancing northern lights and awesome scenes telling the story of the majestic vessels and those who sailed in them. Next was the Kon-Tiki Museum, which houses the original rafts and artefacts from Thor Heyerdahl’s world famous expeditions, which crossed the Pacific Ocean in 1947. Then on to explore Roald Amundsen’s boat, which was the first to reach the South Pole. Here we sat on the deck of the Fram and rolled with the heave of the Artic swell. Below deck we wondered at the creaking of the hull compacted in the ice and froze as we experienced the re-creation of the ice cold conditions.

MUSEUM HEAVEN With so many great museums, it was difficult to decide which we should visit next. We chose the National Museum. After all, no visit would be complete without seeing Edvard’s The Scream .We made just a token visit to the medieval Akershus Fortress, famous for its ghosts — more to soak up the external architecture than wander through its vast interior, as it involved a lot of uneven walking. Although Oslo’s famous ski jump disappeared into the fog, the museum was illuminating. HOT DOGS AND OPERA We also payed a visit to the city’s famous hotdog stand — more like a hot dog with pickle and mashed potato in a pancake! No visit would be complete either without a visit to see the Opera House. We were lucky enough to see performances on two consecutive nights. It is quite an outstanding building and well worth a visit.

Brick stone neogothic town church in the Olympic town of Lillehammer.

LILLEHAMMER The journey between Oslo and Lillehammer was picturesque, as there was a deep fall of new snow, which weighed heavily on the branches of the tall pine trees enveloping the landscape. As we travelled inland, the river could be seen freezing over, creating what appeared to be a mist a few feet above it. We visited Maihaugen, where numerous buildings from different eras form an open air museum. Icicles hung from the roofs, but inside fires were lit, and period actor’s portrayed life as it used to be. There is a great wooden stave church, but unfortunately, it was closed. The streets of Lillehammer were enchanting. Life here is unhurried, and we had a ride in a horse drawn cart.We later enjoyed reindeer for dinner at a traditional ski lodge with its blazing log fires and twinkling candles. Before we left the following morning, we visited the ski jump and surrounding area. For those who want to

ski, this is a great location. At nearby Oyer, the gondoliers were unable to operate, as it was too windy, but we drove up the twisting route to the mountain top to enjoy the sweeping view. LOG CABIN IN THE SNOW Our last night was in a log cabin semi-buried in snow in an isolated location. It was difficult to believe it was only half an hour from the airport. It came complete with two fluffy affectionate cats, a blazing log fire, and a hot tub. Outside white fairy lights twinkled, and inside candles flickered and old fashioned oil lamps cast a muted light. It was furnished with old folk art. Blankets, rugs, and sheepskins abounded. Early next morning, we watched the birds and squirrels as they played outside, before we waded through the deep snow and left the enchantment of Norway behind. Arriving back home, it seemed as though we had stepped back into the wardrobe and Narnia was gone, but we knew we could return and it would be just as magical.

In the early 1900s, Gaston Breitling invented the first chronograph wristwatch. This became the ideal watch for aviators to calculate distance and landing times. With the absence of electronic instruments in the plane dashboard, the only instrument a pilot could rely on was his Breitling watch. Which watch company was the first to have a celebrity endorsement? Bulova became the first watch brand to advertise over the radio. The company recruited Charles Lindbergh to be the first celebrity endorsement of a watch brand. By the end of the 1920s, the company was one of three leading the charge for the creation and sale of clock radios.

Which watch brand have American Presidents throughout the years been seen wearing most often? Rolex. The Day-Date has been nicknamed the President, ever since Dwight Eisenhower wore one in the 1950s. Many Presidents since have followed, creating somewhat of a tradition. What world-changing event brought wristwatches into mainstream use? World War I. A few wristwatches had been worn in earlier wars, but it was World War I that exposed large numbers in the military to the convenience of no-hands time-telling in combat. When the men returned home, they brought their new wristwatch habits with them, and the fashion spread quickly. Who was the first man to wear a watch on the moon? Buzz Aldrin. Although Neil Armstrong was, of course, the first man to walk on the moon, he left his watch, an Omega Speedmaster issued to him by NASA, in the lunar module when he made his famous first step. About 20 minutes later, when Aldrin took his turn on the surface, his Speedmaster became the first watch worn on the moon. What wristwatches have fetched the highest prices at auction? The highest price paid for a watch at auction, to date, was an astounding $31 million for a Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime Ref. 6300A in 2019. Another high-value historical sale was the 1968 steel Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Reference 6239 once owned by Paul Newman. It brought $17.8 million, including buyer’s premium, at a New York auction in 2017. This Rolex has come to be called the Paul Newman model, because of its association with the actor. What watch brand has partnered with the Olympic games since 1932? In 1932 Omega entered one of its most vital timekeeping partnerships when they earned the title of official timekeeper for the Olympic Games in Los Angeles. The partnership continues to this day — 20 straight Olympic Games.

| PAGE 49 | ? What famous brand earned the first Swiss Certificate of Chronometric Precision? German-born Hans Wilsdorf dreamed up and secured the Rolex brand in 1908. He understood the appeal of precision timekeeping. Just two years later, Rolex became the first wristwatch to carry the Swiss Certificate of Chronometric Precision. This award resonated with his British customers who understood that accurate timekeeping — the solution to the long-standing problem of navigating longitude — had empowered the British Empire to dominate the seas in both combat and commerce. What now-famous watch did Elvis Presley wear in the 1961 movie Blue Hawaii ? A Hamilton Ventura. He wears a black-dial version of the watch in several scenes. The finned and futuristic Ventura, designed by Richard Arbib and introduced in 1957, was the most avant-garde version of the Hamilton Electric. The Breitling brand has long been known for its associations with pilots and flying. When did they start? In 1939. That year, the company signed a contract to make chronographs for Britain’s Royal Air Force. After that, aircraft manufacturers and others in the aeronautics world signed deals with Breitling. Excerpted from The Watch Buff’s Book of Trivia by Norma Buchanan.

How did Breitling change aviation history?
