Limited edition Mercedes G55 Arabia

Limited edition Mercedes G55 Arabia will have only 100 pieces available for sale. Zawawi Trading Company, which happens to be the primary distributor of Mercedes Benz cars in the Sultanate of Oman, has now launched a limited edition version of its G series MUV. Available in 2 colors (matte black and cashmere white), there will be only 100 editions of the car to be released, created especially for the Gulf region. The only other time which comes to memory regarding limited editions of this SUV is the one-off custom version G55 AMG for the royal family of Abu Dhabi.
Subtle and few, but there have been some notable changes to the limited edition version. One of the prominent ones is the use of special 19-inch sporty alloy AMG wheels, along with the use of chrome bull bars and carbon fittings on the vehicle’s chassis. In the interior section, there is a dual tone finishing of the black and porcelain versions of leather, contrasting with the white champagne Designo piano wooden trimmings. 
Other additions in the tech front would include the entertainment system placed for rear seat passengers, and 2 options for vehicle’s engines. The G500 is a 5.5 liter V8 engine, with 388HP of output whereas the flagship version, the G55 has a V8 supercharged engine which has a greater output of 507HP.

Limited-edition BRM TB 10000 Tours watch

The limited-edition BRM TB 10000 Tours watch brings a new kind of design to the horological table. The creator of this innovative watch is Bernard Richards. Although Richards is not amongst the most celebrated of his craft, he is known for his avant-garde perspective on the age old art of building timepieces, and his latest effort is no exception.
BRM TB 10000 Tours is the first watch to boast a vertical face. Designed with time-conscious gear-heads in mind, the face resembles a dashboard from a vintage car. The body is made of industrial grade titanium and carbon fiber. The timepiece is protected by sapphire glass covering, which makes the watch scratch-resistant and anti-reflective. The watch maintains water resistance up to a depth of 100meters. The black leather strap is accented with a sporty red buckle and contrasting red stitching.
This inventive time keeper is set launch in December 2011 and will retail for $11,300.
