Abarth 695 Tributo Maserati

Fiat-owned performance brand Abarth is to launch a special-edition model based on luxury supercar brand Maserati.
The Abarth 695 Tributo Maserati is a tricked-out version of the Fiat 500 which layers in Abarth performance touches and an admittedly-impressive Maserati veneer.
Somewhat reminiscent of the Aston-Martin Cygnet, the Tributo Maserati is a convertible model finished in a color exclusive to Maserati, Pontevecchio Bordeaux.
In collaboration with Maserati, Abarth engineers uprated the 16V 1.4-liter turbo engine, giving it an output of 180hp to the special electronic gearbox, which Abarth says offers reduced gearshift times.
A set of new 17-inch tires featuring the Maserati ‘Neptun’ design and the distinctive hexagonal exhaust pipes found on Maserati cars such as the GranTurismo or Quattroporte complete the model.
Abarth says that it will only produce 499 of the 695 Tributo Maserati, which will be launched at the Geneva Motor Show (March 8-18).

Apple iPhone 5 Concept

Check out Italian designer Federico Ciccarese mock-up of what the Apple iPhone 5 could look like based on numerous rumours.
Ciccarese’s vision of the iPhone 5 predicts a slightly curved back. The body of the phone, in fact, looks similar to Apple’s Magic Mouse. The display is flat and “retina” in nature and the phone tapers off at the top and bottom.
The headphone jack has moved to the side to accommodate the new design and the back looks to be blasted aluminum, similar to what is used on the MacBook Pro, MacBook Air and iMac.

#6 Amanu by Odin

Musky with  various middle notes including Gardenia and Jasmine, Odin’s Amanu #6 has been a sort of obsession. Deep yet light enough to be worn daily by a man or a woman. The primitive ambiance of southern Mediterranean peaks combined with the ancient fertility of Anatolian soils brings forth a herbaceous blend of verdant galbanum and raw lentisque. The cortex of Amanu revolves around the woody rusticity of cedarleaf and the heady complexity of jasmine sambac. Rooting textures of amberwood, musk and live moss endow this earthy scent with a lush maturity.

Maitre du Temps Chapter two watch

 Maitre du Temps Chapter two watch combines 2 different functions (big date and triple calendar) along with great aesthetics highlighted by diamonds, on to this common platform. Despite all complications within its core movement, reading time didn’t get much easier than this, especially for the specific genre of watches.
Housed in an 18K gold casing, the outer lining is adorned with a total of 205 sparkling white diamonds, which highlight more prominently the 16mm thickness, 42 mm width, and 52mm length of the unit. In fact this decoration seems to go perfectly well with the other option which includes Rose Gold with white leather strapping, or the white gold with the chocolate brown option. The main dial however, features a white base on which a black circular path is marked, with prominent white roman numerals for the hours. Again, the base color of this silver toned dial can be chosen either in white or simply chocolate brown.
Maitre du Temps Chapter Two watch with chocolate brown detailing

The rollers on the upper and lower end of the main dial indicate the month and day, whereas the particular date would be visible on the 12 ‘o’clock slot. There also is a smaller second’s dial at the 6 ‘o’ clock slot. Turning the watch over, the exposed skeleton of the movement comes to view, which has been protected with transparent sapphire crystal, just the frontier dial. Inside this cage, is the Automatic movement which has 338 components, out of which 32 are precious jewels. The vibration rate is pegged at 28,800 vibrations per hour, with a power reserve of 50 hours.

The only unknown aspects of this timepiece is the exact price, but estimates put it between $54,870- $164,611 a piece, but not with surety. Also no word as yet, if it is a limited edition just like the case for the Chapter One watch. But, surely Peter Speake Marin and Daniel Roth deserve the kudos for their creation.

The Porsche Macan

Porsche’s new compact SUV is to be called the Porsche Macan, derived from the Indonesian word for ‘tiger’, the luxury German automaker confirmed February 16. Releasing the first teaser sketch and video for the model, Porsche also confirmed that it will begin production in 2013 as the fifth Porsche model line, following in the footsteps of the larger Cayenne SUV.
The firm’s first impressions show a low, sleek model which is known to be based on the Audi Q5 platform, with a sportier styling and premium interior.
It is believed that the model will feature 2.0 and 3.0 liter gasoline and diesel engines, slightly more powerful than those in the Audi Q5, with a Macan Turbo S also expected to follow, possibly alongside a hybrid model.
In a statement, Porsche said that the animal roots of the name Macan, which is derived from Indonesian language, reflected the model’s characteristics such as “suppleness, power, fascination and dynamics.”
Its introduction is likely to mark the start of a turf war between Porsche and Maserati, which introduced its own (admittedly larger) Kubang SUV last year.

Babyccinos: Cappuccinos for Babies

A story on ‘babyccinos,’ a trend in which coffee shops are selling decaf cappuccinos to pint-sized tots, is gaining buzz among the caffeinated, hipster-parent crowd.
Babyccinos are made from either steamed milk and foam, or — for the gourmand tot — spiked with a shot of decaf espresso, and were featured in a story published in The Brooklyn Paper this week — a piece which has been picked up by popular food blogs and publications like Gothamist, Eater, Zagat and the Atlantic Wire.
The trend has become particularly popular in Brooklyn, where locals are obsessive when it comes to coffee culture, the author notes, and the culture even has tots turning into mini coffee-clutching consumers with an early taste for java.
The concept first started in Australia, where the term babyccino denotes macchiato-like drinks with a shot of decaf espresso topped with steamed milk and froth, or an entirely hot milk-based drink topped with cinnamon or chocolate powder that’s kid-friendly.
And while doctors say the amount of caffeine is negligible in decaf coffee (the story says that a shot of decaf espresso contains less caffeine than a soda) reaction to the trend has spilled over onto Facebook and Twitter, where readers either defend the trend as harmless — “a way to keep the kids happy so parents can enjoy their coffee in peace” — to dismay — “‎*sigh* Leave the babies and their yet to be fully developed kidneys and stomachs, alone already.”

De Bethune DB28 Aiguille d’Or watch

De Bethune DB28 Aiguille d’Or watch was released as a limited edition of just 50 units. It will re-master the technology and engineering which it had shown last year and won awards, at the Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix. Setting it apart in the now crowded world of luxury watches, is the special pocket watch shaped exterior frame of the casing, all made from high grade titanium.
The DB28 Aiguille comes with a distinctively different Grade 5 titanium casing, which has been given a sort of multi-faceted design. Even though the central portion remains circular in shape, the outer frame bears a prominent pocket watch-like shape which shows shades of the old world charm. The next most prominent is the delicately worked hours and minutes hands, where the minute wand carries a pink gold baguette design, apart from its delicate shape. This perhaps lends it a regal aesthetic touch. Beneath this is a partially exposed skeleton of the core movement which is based around the DB2115 caliber movement with 2 barrels. Out of the many microscopic parts, 29 are precious jewels, which play their own part in the 28,800 vibrations per hour beating rate. The power reserve of this mechanism is pegged at 6-days, before a rewind is needed.
Since recent times have shown many watches with their own moon trackers, this one too feature it’s own at the 6’o’ clock position. Helps in watching the different phases of earth’s only satellite. Other notable features include the hand coated dial, Cotes de Bethune motif, apart from the black alligator leather strap. Anti reflective and scratch proof sapphire crystal covering has been put on both sides of the watch, which includes the front dial, and the rear end exposed skeleton.

Seattle’s Best Coffee, a subsidiary of Starbucks, has launched a campaign called ‘Create Your Deliciousness,’ a campaign that invites consumers to customize their morning brews using the brand’s Facebook app.
The Create Your Deliciousness campaign is a year-long campaign that wants people to define what they deem is the best cup of coffee through their own “unique add-ins and toppings” (which are not your run-of-the-mill chocolate sprinkles or milk substitutes). For instance, more than 80 percent of surveyed Americans have stated that they will go to bizarre lengths to customize their drinks with things like candy and even cayenne pepper! So, the online campaign offers participants a variety of unique toppings, ranging from mini-marshmallows to fruit-flavored cereals so that they can create their dream cup of coffee. Participants get a chance to win a 12-oz. bag of Seattle’s Best Coffee and, according to BrandChannel, the results of the campaign will influence future “innovation decisions.”
