Vertu Launches Latest "TI" Handset

Vertu is the undeniable leader in the luxury mobile phone market and their new "TI" handset is their latest offering. This Android-powered smartphone features the typically luxurious assets that include a sturdy but lightweight titanium case, leather accents and a sapphire crystal that is virtually scratch-proof.

The brand's contemporary style remains signature here with an almost unfathomably slick exterior featuring exposed screws and polished metal. Tech specs include a 1.7 GHz processor, 8MP camera and a 64GB internal memory. Other swanky perks [beyond Vertu's own concierge service] is the Vertu Certainty data protection - perfect for high-flyers carrying sensitive information as well as Vertu Life - personally tailored information, articles and benefits. The price tag? A mere €7,900.

Baume et Mercier Clifton Timepiece Range

Recently we had a gander and a playabout with the Clifton range from Baume et Mercier - pioneers in Swiss timepieces. These ultimately classic but superbly crafted watches are inspired by the "Golden Fifties" where this luxury market really took shape. These stunning and [ironically] timeless watches are rife with luxurious detail - such as the "moon phase" detail which you can see in the focal style below.

The automatic technology can also be seen through the [sapphire] looking glass behind the face of the watch - another fantastic detail that's both cool and doesn't come short of some colourful screws. Basically this is a god of the luxury watch world and with price-tags that go far into the 4 figure arena we certainly see the word investment flash up.

Bentley to Launch First Fragrance - 'Bentley for Men'

The luxurious world of Bentley is soon to reveal its latest endeavour - their first fragrance for men. As you would expect it's as effortless in class as the brand's motors yet there's a surprisingly wallet-friendly price tag attached to it. The range of products [set to launch in April in select perfumeries and department stores] consists of two fragrances - a classic version priced at €59/60ml and €79/100ml as well as an intense version [our recommendation] priced at €87/100ml.

The range also includes an aftershave balm [pictured left] and a hair & body shampoo - but our attention is solely fixed on the Eau de Toilettes. At the press launch we were talked [and smelled] through the key ingredients which include classic leather, black pepper and our favourite - rum. Better start getting the hints out there for any April birthday's.
