The Vittoria Concept Car

Italian designer Umberto Palermo has officially unveiled his Vittoria concept car at the 2012 Qatar Motor Show. The Vittoria is a supercar with a hybrid V8 engine. The concept is shrouded in mystery, with no specific engine details or performance specs given.
What we know about the Vittoria concept car is what we can see, which is actually kind of a lot. 
This concept has a futuristic design that makes it look more like it belongs in the world of “Speed Racer” than in this one. The front grille has an odd look that replaces a single grille with a series of small portholes. The taillights use LEDs and the cabin looks a lot like a cockpit.

The MWE Emperor 200 Workstation


The MWE Emperor 200 is a scorpion-like design that gives a dangerous look to this workstation. It has a leather ergonomic chair that brings comfort to the user. In front of the seat is a touchscreen panel and a mini desk to hold keyboards and computer mice with. At the end of the tail are three 24” LED HD monitors that arches right in front of the person, all of which are adjustable. The Emperor 200 is also motorized, which means anyone can position the chair to their liking without getting up. There’s also THX surround sound and air filtration.

Magellan’s ‘Magelluna’ Moon watch


Magellan watch’s Magulluna virtually puts the celestial entity on the wrist of the wearers, in what could be a tribute to it.
Featuring a 43.5mm diameter casing, the presentation comes as a simplistic unit created out of refined stainless steel. Unlike some of the bigger brands, there isn’t much use of novel and expensive fabrication, but instead uses a higher grade of the metal to make a watch, which will stand out purely on the finishing and craftsmanship involved. In a dome shaped, sapphire crystal covered dial, lies a black PVD coated, poke marked dial which has a garland of Roman numeral markings on the side which display the hours. In the centre is the most artistic part which we just mentioned, brings forward a very realistic miniature surface rendering of the moon. Even the polished minute and hours hands have been shaped uniquely to work along with round surfacing of the dial. The sharp but eye appealing contrast is the thin red seconds hand which works around the other 2 hands.
Under the hood, or rather the dial is the ETA 2892 movement which powers itself by a self-winding mechanism.
