Commencing immediately, guests at Four Seasons hotels in Buenos Aires, Beverly Hills, Chicago, Houston, Las Vegas, Miami, Mexico City, and New York City will be luxuriously greeted by iconic Audemars Piguet Royal Oak clocks which will be elegantly showcased throughout each property. 
The Audemars Piguet clocks, adorned with sophisticated octagonal dials, will be displayed at 21 Four Seasons properties, at locations which include the U.S. and Canada, as well as Costa Rica. Each participating hotel will exhibit multiple clocks in a variety of high-traffic common areas, including the main entrance, concierge desk, and spa or business center.

We are eager to be where they are for business and pleasure.”
 A grand total of 106 Audemars Piguet clocks will be installed throughout the participating Four Seasons Hotels, resulting in major exposure, with millions of guest impressions annually. The eventual success of this astounding partnership between the two prestige brands will see the program progress on a global scale.
“Our new partnership with Audemars Piguet creates the perfect synergy between our two brands,” says Radha Arora, Regional Vice-President & General Manager of Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel. “Both are timeless and exude the ultimate in luxury.”

Ferrari Superamerica 45

 The Ferrari Superamerica 45, built exclusively for car collector Peter Kalikow, has made its debut ahead of its official unveiling at the Villa d’Este Concorso d’Eleganza which began on May 20. The unique one-off model which was styled by Ferrari Design and engineered and built in-house, boasts a stunning bespoke design. The car’s special luxury accents include a carbon-fiber rotating hard-top — incorporating a rear screen, while the boot is entirely revamped to house the roof when open. 
The Ferrari Superamerica 45 showcases several ultra-LUX touches, including a specific chromed front grille and special burnished aluminum A-pillars, wing mirrors and door handles.

The Superamerica 45 sports an exclusive Blu Antille color, matching that of a 1961 400 Superamerica cabriolet from Mr. Kalikow’s collection. The car’s wheels are body-colored, laced with a slick contrasting diamond finish to the spokes. The roof and other carbon-fiber elements of the car’s bodywork – front splitter, side skirts and rear diffuser – are impeccably done in a special contrasting hue of darker blue.

The interior is as equally striking as the car’s sleek exterior, featuring a cockpit which exhibits beautiful dark blue carbon-fiber dash trim. The Ferrari Superamerica 45 houses a latest-generation touch-screen infotainment system, while a carefully selected combination of Cuoio leather trim and Blu Scuro carbon fiber details completes the car’s dynamic presentation.
