Le Palais Maeterlinck ou la renaissance d’une légende
/dans Immobilier /par Florence BernardinSotheby’s International Realty France – Monaco oversees the transformation of historic Palais Maeterlinck into state-of-the-art residences. In the 1920s, French aristocrat Count of Milléant began to realize his dream of building a high-society resort in Nice as a rival to nearby Monte-Carlo that had attracted the ‘beau monde’ for decades. Following the deaths of Maeterlinck and his wife, his home eventually became a renowned Grand Hotel, ‘Palais Materlinck’. Operations ceased in 2008, and in 2012, Palais Maeterlinck was acquired by visionary Czech billionaire Radovan Vitek and his company CPI with the intention of transforming the storied property into 19 luxury residences without equal in Europe. Alexander Kraft, Chairman & CEO of Sotheby’s International Realty France – Monaco, explains : “Located in one of the world’s most prestigious locations on the French Côte d’Azur on the Cap de Nice, the magnificent oceanfront estate offers total privacy, security and breathtaking 180° views of the Mediterranean. Its residents will not only benefit from world-class amenities, but will also have the option, for the first time ever, to have their private home exclusively styled and furnished in Ralph Lauren Home.” This project offers a unique opportunity to acquire a real « piece » of history. The official launch of Palais Maeterlinck will take place on May 14, 2013…

Chargé d’Affaires, pour réveiller le temps passé
/dans Joaillerie-Horlogerie /par Florence BernardinFondée en 1955, la marque Corum est à l’origine de quelques-uns des modèles les plus mythiques de l’histoire horlogère. En 2010 déjà, elle avait redonné vie à deux pièces emblématiques : la Golden Tube et le Chapeau chinois. Aujourd’hui, c’est le modèle Chargé d’Affaires qui fait l’honneur de la collection Vintage. Dotée d’une réserve de marche de 46 heures, cette Chargé d’Affaires est équipée d’un mouvement tout à fait exceptionnel. Il s’agit en effet du même calibre que celui qui faisait battre la Chargé d’Affaires originale de 1956. Ce mouvement historique a été entièrement restauré avec les outils et les techniques de l’époque, mais en répondant à tous les standards de qualité et de finition actuels. Le visage de ce garde-temps, merveilleusement sobre, rend hommage à la perfection esthétique des montres d’autrefois. Le cadran argenté est ponctué d’index des heures en applique; le balisage des minutes, quant à lui, est délicatement décalqué, tout comme l’inscription « Chargé d’Affaires ». La seule infidélité au modèle d’origine est finalement le boitier, légèrement plus grand à 38 mm de diamètre. La Chargé d’Affaires est une édition limitée et numéroté de 200 exemplaires : 150 en or rouge 5N 18 ct montés sur bracelet cuir alligator noir avec boucle ardillon, et 50 en or blanc 18 ct sur un bracelet identique. Cette montre alarme-réveil est étanche à 30 mètres.
First launched in 1956, Chargé d’Affaires returns interpreted in a manner that is more contemporary than ever. This alarm watch will delight devotees of mechanics as well as devotees of the heritage from the past.
Corum does indeed have an extraordinary rich heritage. Since its founding in 1955, the brand has introduced some of the most legendary models in watchmaking history. In 2010, it already gave two emblematic creations a new lease on life: the Golden Tube and the Chinese Hat. Now comes the turn of the Chargé d’Affaires model that is the pride of the Vintage collection. Endowed with a 46-hour power reserve, this Chargé d’Affaires watch is equipped with an entirely exceptional movement: the very same caliber that once beat at the heart of the original model in 1956. This historical movement has been entirely restored using vintage tools and techniques, while meeting current standards of quality and finishing. This mechanical gem is visible through the case-back and reveals the sound bridge engraved with the inscription “1956 – Chargé d’Affaires – 2012”. The elegantly understated face of this timepiece pays tribute to the aesthetic perfection of historical watches. The only slight change from the original model lies in the slightly larger 38 mm-diameter case. The Chargé d’Affaires is issued in a 200-piece limited and numbered edition: 150 in 5N 18K gold fitted with a black alligator leather strap with pin buckle; and 50 in 18K white gold with an identical strap. This alarm watch is water-resistant to 30 meters.
