Stephen Colbert pretty much knows the guys to pick on and make absolute fools out of with great success and in the now famous “The Colbert Report”; Stephen targeted Milton Pedraza, the CEO of the “Luxury Institute”. According to recent news Milton Pedraza had recommended a strategy of “stealth wealth” and “avoiding conspicuous consumption for a less flashy image” during this economic crisis. Yes, Stealth Wealth indeed sounds insane enough and the added line of avoiding conspicuous consumption by sporting less flashy stuff is all the more stupid.

The mention of Versace is enough to get the idea of the product that could be mentioned which without doubt belongs to the upper crust. And Donatella Versace is never one to skimp on excess. Known for famously stating “more is more,” the designer has just created what appears to be one of the world’s most luxury perfumes. Despite the threat of a worldwide recession Donatella’s new fragrance will retail at $2,100.
The 3.4-oz. bottle of the perfume is covered with hand-stitched white leather and it comes in a leather box with silver and gold details. Both the sheath and the box bear metal plates bear the words “Gianni Versace Couture”, in tribute to Donatella’s brother. The formula boasts citrus accents of bergamot and mandarin blended with red berries and tangerines. There’s a floral feel too with jasmine, heliotrope and almond blossom tones. The base is muskier as Tonka bean is combined with patchouli heart and sandalwood. If the ingredients themselves are heavenly singly, what fragrance would be of their infusion?

When a company says that they are making “one-of-a-kind” piece, then you better be sure before spending a fortune on it. Maybe you would want to make sure that there is no exact replica of what you bought, but I guess there is no sure way to find out. In 2001 Vianney Halter created a project called “Faces of Time” which also included a one-of-a-kind watch. For that one, Halter imagined and realized a very special timepiece that was called “Satellarium” due to his very special shape. Apparently this watch was delivered to Goldpfeil in 2001 and sold.

This shall take your breath away. Just one look at the Caran d’Ache 1010 pen and you will know just the reason why. The Swiss baublemaker claims that the pen is a tribute to the special genius of watchmakers.
Aptly called 1010 to symbolise what we call ’smiling time’, this stylish pen has non-working gears mounted on a sleeve just under the pen’s transparent surface for funsies.

There is something about breaching convention when you are producing a high-profile gadget. It is all the more difficult to do it when the world is watching and trying to swoop in and rip apart every small niggles.

The world’s first mobile phone with circular display, the Aura has a screen that features 16 million colors and 300 dpi clarity, plus is coated with 62-carat sapphire crystal to prevent scratching.

Jimmy Kimmel and his late night talk show “Jimmy Kimmel Live” are pretty popular by now and the “No Rules apply” is really catching on. But even the charm of the talk show host could not steal the spotlight away from this custom crafted scrabble board that is encrusted with over 30,000 Swarovski Crystals. Now all those crystals are surely good enough to even outshine the stars of Hollywood on a night the celebrated the 60 years of the game taking over homes across the world.
