The gorgeous German-built 20-metre mahogany Aguti motor yacht combines traditional wooden shipbuilding techniques with high-tech composite technology in one damned stylish package.

Diamond Encrusted HD3 Three Minds Watch Is Vestige From Another Age
While 2007 does not seem that long ago, in the watch world it is a time long passed. For a brief moment in recent history the luxury watch industry experienced a high-end boost. An odd surge of desire for complex, brazenly bold in style, luxury watches spurred the horological community to supply the market demand. You had literally dozens of new brands, and a world of extravagantly odd watches that came out of this period. Like the early Mesozoic period before the dinosaurs ruled the Earth, it was a time of design experimentation where watches fought to live, but most of them inevitably would become extinct.
All this horological evolution was abruptly sped up and then halted by the financial melt down. The oodles of cash pouring out of new money’s hands dried up and the world’s wild watches could no longer find homes. Sure if you look hard enough there are still a few out there, but all in all, it is the older brands and the high value brands that survived. While Swiss HD3 is a brand that is alive and well. I don’t think its full range of watches can claim that. Released originally in 2007, here is a diamond encrusted version of its Three Minds watch. An automatic movement powered square watch that tells the time via three overlapping discs. The design here is an odd mixture of spacey shapes with black and green… and the diamonds. The perfect wedding president for a planetary ruler circa the year 3000.
