St. Regis Lhasa, Tibet
 |
| St. Regis Lhasa |
At 12,000 feet above sea level, it is one of the highest luxury hotels in the world, with unimpeded views of the Himalayas and Lhasa Valley. The resort was designed from the ground up with sustainable features including solar panels, locally-sourced produce and herbs for the resort's three signature restaurants, as well as an underground water recycling system.
The eight-acre-resort complex is inspired by the nearby world-famous Sera Monastery, built in 1419, a place of great architectural and spiritual significance to this region. The Sera Monastery developed over the centuries as a place of scholarly learning, and trained hundreds of scholars, many of whom have attained fame in the Buddhist nations. There are still nunneries and hermitages on the property, and is still home to famous Tibetan Monk debates about Buddhist sacred texts.
the resort is surrounded on all sides by high pale gray walls made from stone, and landscaped with poplar and willow trees. The buildings have exteriors of stone with dark shale/tile pagoda-style roofs, an homage to the ancient Buddhist culture that surrounds the resort. There are three main complexes with buildings that house 150 guest rooms, 12 villas and suites, and a Presidential Suite. In addition, the resort features The Decanter Wine Bar and The Iridium Spa.
At the center of the resort's exterior is a large pond that reflects sky, trees and buildings, unifying the diverse spaces together in a peaceful mirrored image

Magistralis watch from Louis Moinet
 |
| Louis Moinet's Magistralis |
Louis Moinet is the first to create a watch featuring an authentic piece of the moon – MAGISTRALIS. This 2000 year-old lunar meteorite is used for the moon-phase display of the hundred-year old and extremely sophisticated complication movement (including minute repeater, perpetual calendar and single-pusher chronograph functions) powering this one of a kind masterpiece. The incredibly complex 5N rose gold and 3N case is composed of 90 different parts, while the presentation box is highly creative in its own right: Louis Moinet introduces the first musical instrument for watches thanks to the watch stand which serves to amplify the sound of the repeater mechanism. An original copy of Louis Moinet's famous Traité d'Horlogerie adds the final touch to the fascinating history of this watch.
Magistralis is an extraordinary watch representing the expert craftsmanship of the time-honoured art of Haute Horlogerie
PRICE $1 million Swiss Francs (CHF)
CASE 5N and 3N 18-Karat rose gold

Panthermobile
 |
| Pink-Panthermobile |
A heavily customized autmobile for the Pink Panther Show, that aired in the United States on NBC from 1969 until 1976, the ‘Panthermobile’ was a one-of-a kind automobile. The car is the master creation of designer Jay Ohrberg, who is the same prodigy behind some of the most revolutionary cinema car concepts like the Batmobile, the Knight Rider K.I.T.T, and the DeLorean (Back to the Future Trilogy)
The ‘Panthermobile’ was formerly owned by Mr.Ohrberg, who entered the vehicle into an auction in June 2007 by COYS.
Bagged for a whopping £88,000 (66,10,454.0 INR) the current owner of the vehicle has preserved the original condition of the legendary ‘Panthermobile’. But, as the car is not street-legal, it no longer comes with a working Swansea V5 engine.
