As luxury vacation tours go, this one stands out as being in a category unlike any other.
Bell & Ross has done well in its 12 years of operation largely because of their consistent design principles. The young company is committed to building watches that are inspired by and of the same quality as professional instruments. The most obvious embodiment of B&R's obsession with gauges, valves, and military gadgets is the BR Instruments, which mimic the look of analog, inflight instrumentation. The BR 03-92 Military Ceramic, 2010's hottest Bell & Ross ticket, clearly represents the company's vision of using function as the basis for beauty.
While many of us would no doubt happily take possession and wear one of these stunning watches, how many of you would be truly interested in observing one being made? Thomas Prescher, owner of the eponymous firm, is inviting all impassioned watch lovers this month to attend and participate in a watch-making camp at his studio in Twann, Switzerland.
Coco Chanel has got to be rolling over in her grave ... especially if someone else is rolling over her grave on this.
Yeah, it's what you think it is. It's a Chanel Segway. This is for people who ... like Chanel and hate walking? Like Segways but don't want to be seen with anything that isn't "designer?" Liked Short Circuit, but ... yeah, we don't know where we're going with that.
So, do you think it's geek-chic? We think it's just batdung crazy. We're calling a WTF all over this.
Born Rich says that each Chanel Segway comes with a "Chanel 2.55 attached to its handlebar for storing your luxury accessories," but that doesn't make this okay. Not by a landslide. Ecorazzi calls the Chanel Segway "so utterly ridiculous that it makes the $12K Chanel-themed bicycle owned by Jennifer Aniston seem practical."
Correct. Oh, Karl Lagerfeld. You so crazy.
