The IWC Aquatimer Galapagos Islands Chronograph Watch




Its 44mm stainless steel case goes through a vulcanization process that leaves it coated in matte-black rubber, which perfectly matches the black rubber strap, and compliments the black face. Of course, it also tells time, with a self-winding mechanical chronograph movement, 44-hour power reserve, date and day display, and luminescent elements on the hands, dial and rotating bezel.

The breathtaking resort is also the proud recipient of the travel site’s Certificate of Excellence – which it received just two months ago — the award which is considered a distinct honor based on the premier travel site’s Business Popularity Index records over 45 million travel reviews and opinions from over 85,000 cities around the globe.

Pascal Eppink, General Manager of Banyan Tree Al Wadi commented on the property’s recent wins, “We are privileged to be selected for Tripadvisor’s lists.

Hermes saree collection to debut in October 2011




Hermes is set to debut a limited edition collection of four to five silk sarees in India, with the beautiful sarees going for $1,800 each starting October 2011. 
For an additional $500, India’s buyers will also have the option of pairing their sophisticated Hermes saree with a matching blouse. 
Hermes previously released a gorgeous line of silk mousseline sarees, which retailed at around £1,200 each (plus £250 for the blouse) at Hermes’ London store on Sloane Street in October 2000. The sarees were elegantly designed by Sunita Kumar — a Kolkata-based designer (who is also the wife of former Indian tennis player Naresh Kumar) who worked alongside Hermes‘ expert in-house designers to create the exquisite collection.
As Hermes targets affluent luxury buyers in lucrative markets such as China and India, the limited edition saree could be the first of many India-specific product launches debuting from the iconic French luxury brand.
