Cirrus Aircraft Announces Pricing for Vision Jet

Cirrus Aircraft announced this summer that the nearly 500 buyers who have already reserved a single-engine Vision Personal Jet will pay just $1.39 million to fly it away when the first copies roll off the production line. New buyers who get in line by the end of 2009 will pay $1.55 million, and in January the price goes up to $1.72 million. Securing a place requires a deposit of $50,000 to $100,000. Cirrus so far is not saying when deliveries will start, but work continues both to secure investors and to advance the design. The jet will feature flexible seating for up to seven and a cruise speed of 345 mph. The Vision shares many of the features popular in the Cirrus piston line–Cirrus Perspective by Garmin avionics, anti-icing protection, and an airframe parachute system. The prototype first flew in July 2008. (www.cirrusaircraft.com, 218.529.7292)

California Dreaming

French jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels found inspiration in the colorful flora, fauna, and landscape of California for its latest High Jewelry collection, California Rêverie. The 100-piece collection employs an array of vibrant-colored gemstones to portray the imagery of the West Coast including both literal translations, such as the poppy floral clip featuring a 6.52-carat pear-shaped green sapphire from Madagascar set with yellow sapphires, and the subliminal Big Sur necklace composed of nine Paraiba tourmalines suggesting the vastness of the blue water and sky.

 

The High Jewelry collection is a culmination of a few years of developing the design concepts, assembling rare gemstones, and executing each handmade piece in Van Cleef & Arpels’ Parisian workshops. This year’s collection was unveiled in Los Angeles in October and will be traveling internationally for the fall season. Among the standout pieces is the California sunset clip made of a massive 100-carat-plus Ethiopian opal, in shades of orange, purple, and green, which is anchored by diamond palm trees standing on a bed of blue sapphires. Prices range from about $50,000 to $1.5 million. (877.826.2533, www.vancleef-arpels.com)

Marlon Wayans stopped by our marketing suite before attending the premiere of This Is It. The actor and comedian is red carpet ready, wearing Wrinkled Cordovan Milanos ($190). While on most occasions we would advise guys not to be too matchy-matchy, Marlon effortlessly pulled off this look with a matching sweater, button-up, tie, and jeans.

The funny-man is attempting to bring a new look into style, wearing a pair of Wrinkled Cordovan Ponti’s ($155) on his hand.

WoW!! – 18K Gold Casio x Art Is The Alibi G-Shock DW-6900 | The Quasi

Over the years we have seen many custom works on the iconic Casio G-Shock DW-6900. Pharrell Willimans, Kanye West and Nigo have showed off pimped versions of the watch, usually using heavy metals and stones. One can say that the concept is not entirely new. Jan Mihm and Charlie Müller of Berlin based Art Is The Alibi now also took a shot at the watch. The cover of the case has been removed and replaced with a 18k solid gold cover. The mix of 18k gold and an otherwise rather in-expensive plastic watch has always been intriguing. Obviously the watch does not come cheap – priced at 19′000 Euros (28′000 USD), the watch is limited to 25 pieces and will be exclusively available at colette and also through Art Is The Alibi.

We had the pleasure of checking out the watch live a couple of months ago and the execution and craftsmanship is perfect. If it is worth the price, you have to decide for yourself.
