OMEGA, in partnership with Sotheby’s Hong Kong, joined hands to hold a charity auction released to celebrate OMEGA’s role as Official Timekeeper of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. All 35 of the timepieces, collectively known as the OMEGA “Beijing 2008, Unique No. 8 Collection”, were auctioned off as part of Sotheby’s Important Watches Autumn Sale 2008 yesterday at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. The Collection was sold for HK$9,620,000 (1,231,071 USD)*
Based on the “lucky number 8” concept, it includes an example of every OMEGA timepiece licensed for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad in Beijing. The watches are delivered in a striking, black walnut pagoda-influenced tower with a lacquered finish. Popular belief in China holds that the number 8 is fortuitous, so the watches representing the Beijing Olympic Collection are housed in the black tower in eight separate drawers, placed one above the other reminiscent of a rectangular pagoda. So one would surely not go more superstitious than this!!!

Every automobile exhibition carries with it some element of bling to restrain the attention of its elite customers’. And the customary ritual is being practiced at the ongoing International Motocycle show in Seattle offering a radiant wheel structure. You may call it chopper and she may label it as an artistic masterpiece but to me it seems no less than a functional sculpture. True, there is no dearth of ornamented wheels i.e. £9,500 Gold Bicycle, $800,000 ASI’s Bentley, bejeweled low-rider tricycle and others but the revolutionary offering of gold-plated custom chopper demands $500,000.

If that on-the-face offering of Gold-layered bike fails to bring an oomph factor to you then that relish your vision via this Custom Lowrider Bicycle. Called Lil’ Dnipro, the seemingly Midas patted tricycle comes layered with a chaste gold leaf. The highlighting feature of the bicycle is its regal appeal encompassing long curved seat complemented via an upwards swept handle bars christened as apenhangers. They say it has Chrome and Crystals on Mirror but whatever heights of luxury it sports, the three-wheels have no plans to reach the auction block or go up for sale.
