I always thought that my Swarovski watch is the ultimate thing that has ever seen life but the recent collection launched by Jaeger-LeCoultre has made my time piece blush! Yeah, I know they are the best watch-makers in the whole wide world, or so the gfame goes but I never though that they would surpass their own best so easily. The new Jaeger-LeCoultre Le Lierre Collection. It’s a green fantasy turned to life! It is made in the form of ivy leaves and tendrils, only the green leaves are realised in gold and precious stones to make it the ultimate style statement.

The set comes complete with a necklace, a bracelet, a ring and a pair of in 18k yellow gold and and yellow sapphires. In total, it has 14,000 gemstones and it costs a paltry $4.3 million. You heard it right! Paltry is what I said. The miracle that this piece is, 4.3 million is too paltry an amout if you ask me.

Designer Lei Liu has put his thought upon giving form to an elite city car concept that would offer a stress-free ride even amidst jammed roads and digging space for itself in tight parking lots. Called Airwaves, this miniature coupe does away with the tension of bearing the awful jams and freeing you from the risk of dents and scratches. Instead of hinging outward, its electronic door spins upright to avert others being “doored”.

Besides considering the safety of its passangers, it gives equal amount of attention to other commuters on the road. The backside of Airwaves features LCD screen that keeps the onlookers engaged during traffic jams with useful information displayed related to weather reports, news or greeting words from the driver.

This people friendly car gives a deserving trinute to environment as well by making 0% emissions. I think you would agree with me that the safety of small cars is really important; therefore an accessibility of the special lift mechanism in Airwaves can offer good safeguard for the driver, passengers and pedestrians. It workd like this: The minute driver uses emergency brake, the car hits pedestrian and the cabin will lift up by inertia. During that hour, the outside and inside airbags will be unconfined to defend the people inside and outside.
