but everything else in the world is changing rapidly.

New trends, especially in design and marketing, are

reshaping the business terrain. Berge Abajian, creator of

Bergio, was one to spot these emerging trends and his

foresight has served his fast-rising company well.

Bergio began his fashion line in 1995, and in 2002

launched Bergio Bridal Collectionone of the top five

best-selling bridal jewelry lines in the industry.

Today, Bergio is known for elegant designs manufactured

in Italy and executed with masterful craftsmanship.

European sensibility, glamorous yet timeless, is instilled

into every piece. Colored stones, both precious and semi-

precious, continue to animate the line.

Thanks to substantial advertising in both trade and

consumer magazines, an increasingly strong Internet

presence, and the force of Abajians own warm,

enthusiastic and colorful personality, the Bergio name

is quickly becoming one of the few jewelry lines with

instant name recognition. Whats in a name? At Bergio, everything you want.

G O O D W I L L T O W A R D A L L

Treating people well, making

them happy, perhaps fulfi lling

their fondest hopesthese are

some of the goals we all have

at this time of year.

These are year-round goals, as

well, for the team here at LaViano

Jewelers. Weve been in business

for nearly 60 years, and our focus

is on the next 60. We take the

long view, and that means our top

concern is always the best interests of our customers.

Consider, for example, the one-of-a-kind pieces we design right in our Westwood

store. Because we are saving quite a bit on the cost by creating the pieces ourselves,

these items represent an exceptional value. More important, our customers love them

because the pieces are tailored exactly to individual tastes. We will make a custom

piece on a 100-percent approval basis, no deposit required. Our belief is that we

shouldnt get paid until the customer is happy.

We also cater to customers by providing a wonderful selection in a wide range

of price points. You can certainly buy sumptuous jewelry here, such as pieces with

the colorful golds and gemstones shown in the feature that begins on page 69. But

we also carry a wide selection of lower-priced merchandise. We have many

gift items that are perfect for bar mitzvahs, Sweet 16s, graduations and business

occasions. And in ladies jewelry, some of our most popular items now are pearls

and everyday pieces for layering, such as bead necklaces of garnet and other

semiprecious stones (see page 28). These give you a great looksure to win

compliments!for not a lot of money.

Whether youre looking to mark one of lifes major milestones or buy a simple

gift, youll enjoy the same fi rst-rate and caring service we provide to all who enter our

store. Our staff is not commissioned, so they have no incentive to treat one customer

differently from another. Our culture promotes giving the same excellent degree of

service to everyone.

Were also aiming to please you with the lineup of this issue of LAVIANO maga-

zine. Here youll fi nd not only whats new in exquisite jewelry, but a bit of insight into

what makes it so desirable. We also provide you with ideas for grand getaways, far

and near; a vicarious ride in the stunning new Tesla electric roadster and much more.

At this holiday time, please allow all of us at LaViano Jewelers to wish you and

your family a peaceful and joyous season of togetherness. In good economic times

and bad, our clients have stood by our establishmentand we will always do the

same for you.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

What makes the diamonds in

Chopards Happy collections so joy-

ful? The story is that its because these

diamonds are freenot fixed and sta-

tionary, but floating between two transparent

sapphire crystals. They (and their wearers) are

also happy because Chopards world-class watches

are wonderfully versatile, going from day to night with ease. Geneva-

based Chopard, one of the last privately held major watch and jewelry

companies, will be celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2010. Chopard

watches are found only at the best jewelry establishmentssuch as

LaViano Jewelers, of course.

Winking at womens fashionYou cant see it in the picture here, but the image on the cover

of Avedon Fashion 19442000 is printed holographically, so

the model literally appears to wink at you as you walk by.

This irresistible come-on is just a hint of the visual pleasures

within. The lush new book chronicles the work of Richard

Avedon, the most infl uential fashion photographer of all time.

Beginning in the late 1940s, Avedon bucked the convention

of stiff, motionless poses by encouraging his models to move

and express themselves. He also forged such intense

connections with his subjects that he often left photo shoots

embarrassed by the personal details they revealed to him.

From Audrey Hepburn to Veruschka to Kate Moss, the book

covers all of Avedons most iconic fashion models and images.

DAUM for the HolidaysART IS THE ULTIMATE LUXURYso goes the slogan of Daum, the

French company that has been at the forefront of artistry in glasswork for

130 years. True to its beliefs, the company has worked with the greatest

contemporary artists over the years, including Salvador Dali, Paloma

Picasso and many more. Daum specializes in collections, in categories

such as Paradise, Botanic and Black and White. Shown here: Aprs

LAmour by artist Sylvie Mangaud Lasseigne, who created it for the

companys Love collection. The artist made just 375 of these 26-inch-

long, amber-green pieces, one of which can be seen at LaVianos

Englewood store. For more information on Daum and other fi ne

collections, visit www.lavianojewelers.com.

The Wide World of PEARLSPearls are staples in a

womans jewelry ward-

robe. But pearls are also

infi nitely variableand at

LaViano Jewelers, you can

select exactly the shape, color and style you like. Choose from

fi nished strands, or design your own adornment. In the mood

for a fun, informal look? Consider a multi-layered choker of

pink-toned, baroque (irregular) or coin (disc-shaped) pearls. In

addition to taking your pick of different pearl shapes (tear-drop

and, of course, round are also available), you can mix pearls in

different hues (goldens, browns, creams, grays) and sizes (an

8-millimeter strand worn with a 7-millimeter strand, or different-

sized pearls on the same chain). Stop by a LaViano store

to browse our stunning selection.

Victorinox Swiss

Army watches are

as reliable and

ingenious as the

famous knives from

which they take their

name. Extremely well

engineered and nearly

indestructible, they are

also an excellent value.

Shown here: a model from

the Infantry Vintage col-

lection, with distinct 1940s

styling and an olive dial

color inspired by the U.S.

Army trucks of World War

II. To learn more, visit a

THE A-to-Z LISTLaViano offers more than 60 brands of jewelry, watches and giftware at our Englewood and Westwood locationsincluding all of the brands listed here.

Penny Preville

CARTIER in the U.S.A.SO ICONIC IS THE CARTIER brand that it seems timeless. Yet it was a

mere century ago that the brand arrived in the U.S., fi nding a home

in a brownstone on Fifth Ave. (purchased, fi ttingly, for $100 and a

pearl necklace). Cartiers impossibly glamorous past is intertwined

with Americas, from the fi rst Tank watch prototype given to Gen.

John Pershing in the fi rst World War, through adorning movie stars

from Rudolph Valentino to Marilyn Monroe, to its identifi cation

with style icons like Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. To celebrate a

very special person in your life (or yourself!), consider a Cartier

watch such as the Ballon Bleu, available at LaViano Jewelers.

Quick getaways: into the woodsThe holiday season is a period when you could most use a vacationbut can least spare the time. Consider, then, a relaxing mini-escape to a luxuri-ous resort thats far from the crowds, yet still within a few hours drive.

Mohonk Mountain House, a sprawl-ing Victorian castle in New Paltz, N.Y., was termed a perfect picture of quiet beauty by The New York Times in 1874and thats still an apt description. Celebrating the resorts 140th anniversary this year, its spa is offering specials on natural treatments inspired by its lakeside location in the Shawangunk mountains. Example: the Indigo Herbal Poultice Massage, with local aromatic wild herbs and spices to ease tension and loosen sore muscles. Visit www.mohonk.com.

The Lodge at Woodloch in Hawley,

Pa.about two hours from Bergen Countyis a luxury destination spa that boasts organic cuisine at the Tree restaurant, an Aqua Garden (therapeutic soaking pools, heated hydro-massage WaterWalls) and a whole host of nature-inspired treatments. To calm you down this season: the Lavender Garden Dream, including earthy minerals and laven-der wrap as well as a basalt stone back massage. Visit www.thelodgeatwoodloch.com.

A multi-faceted historyEver since the discovery of jewels and precious metals, humans have had a passion for wearing them. Jewels in the Louvre, a new book from the Flammarion imprint of Rizzoli, explores the exquisite jewelry to be found in that august museum, as well as jewelrys representa-tion in its collection of sculptures and paintingsfrom Egyptian necklaces of the second millennium B.C. to the diadem Josephine wore to Napoleons coronation.

26 / HOL I DAY 2 0 0 9

What would you suggest for a couple that is celebrating

a milestone wedding anniversary?

Its not unusual these days for people to select an eternity, or

anniversary, ring where diamonds are set all around the finger. Five-

stone rings are also popular. Diamonds are most often chosen, but in

some instances, rings incorporate rubies, emeralds or sapphires.

Fancy yellow diamonds are beautiful, very much in vogue, and

relatively affordable. Those in the middle

quality rangesfancy yellow, fancy

intenseare luxurious and often can

be bought for less than a com-

parably sized white diamond,

whereas the more exotic

diamonds, the pinks and

blues, are often times

unapproachable due to rarity

and cost.

Any ideas for gift-giving to

a business associate?

Go for something that is

not too personal an item, par-

ticularly if the business associate is

from a country whose culture youre unfamiliar with.

Anything worn around the neck or on the

finger is quite personal. A watch, though, is appro-

priate as a means of recognizing high achievement.

You might consider a home accessory, such as

a piece from the Faberg collection or crystal art

made by Daum, or a crystal item that can be etched.

For a man, I would avoid things like key chains and belt buckles.

Cufflinks might be appropriate, depending on how well you know the

person. Otherwise, I would go to something like a nice Mont Blanc or

other writing instrument, or perhaps a Baccarat figure representing a

personal interest such as golf.

What should a woman consider when buying a

watch for her husband?

The men in our clientele tend to have only one jewelry indulgence,

and that is watches. Consider what he already has in his collection, and

The Art ofTHE JEWELER

remember that men accessorize their wardrobes for purpose

and function. If hes going to the Hamptons for the weekend

and will be by the water, hell wear his Patek Philippe

Nautilus. If hes going down to Hilton Head to play golf for a

few days with the guys, hell want to wear a sports watch. If

hes attending a black-tie wedding reception at The Pierre,

hell wear his platinum watch.

What are some ideas for a gift for a wife?

The rule I hear from women is, If my husband comes in, have him

pick something I can wear. Ladies prefer jewelry they can derive pleas-

ure from on a daily basis, versus pieces that

warrant a formal event. I might recommend

a beautiful three-stone ring for the right

hand, diamond studs, diamond hoop ear-

rings or a classic yet striking bracelet.

I would always urge a person to con-

sider jewelry that is more classic in nature,

more disciplined in design. I have no prob-

lem with fashion, or costume, jewelry, but

when you go past a certain threshold of

cost I believe you should have an eye to

longevity.

Besides providing ideas, how does

LaViano help customers who are

making a big gift decision?

We are hugely about service and

follow-through. If some consideration

is needed after a sale is made, such as warranty service, we are

there. You build customer loyalty through performance, and accessibil-

ity. Companies that switch to voice mail are making a huge mistake

distancing themselves from their clients.

Honesty and quality: Thats our image,

and it wasnt acquired easily. We depend

on generational clients. We have families

where weve served the grandparents,

then the parents, and now the kids are

coming in to buy engagement rings.

I often say to these young buyers,

I cant give you a $30,000 stone for

$15,000, but I can give you a $15,000

stone that will take her breath away.

You educate the client about whats

important in a diamond and what isnt and

where you can make concessions without

impact to the beauty of the ring. Whats the

best diamond I can give this client thats

going to look greatthe best for his bud-

get? Thats what we do. Its not that com-

plicated. We pride ourselves on having the

discipline to always put our clients

interest foremost in every situation.

I design clothes for the ultra-feminine,

audacious, curious and adventurous woman,

says Catherine Malandrino. She could be

describing herself. Raised in France,

Maladrino moved to the U.S. and made

her career stateside. Her inspirations

include the Wild West, the exoticism

of Istanbul, the craftsmanship of

the Amish, the light of Paris, the

urban rhythm of New York.

Thats quite a stylistic melting

pot, and it shows in her designs.

Consider this jacket. Its heritage is

the American motorcycle jacket,

but Malandrino interprets the

form in an utterly feminine way.

The embossed motif, a bird

taking fl ight, gives the piece

an Asian feel.

We show the jacket

paired with a paisley scarf by

Etro. Bulgari sunglasses.

You can never tell what may have inspired a piece by

jewelry designer Frederic Sagehis worldwide travels,

perhaps, or his background in textile design, or even

the important women in his life.

What you will know, instantly, is that this is

no ordinary piece of work. Just eight years after

founding his jewelry design firm, Sage has already

won five Spectrum awards from the American Gem

Trade Association. Most recently, he took 2009 Best

of Show for his Enchanted Stallion brooch, which fea-

tured 158.26 carats of hand-carved turquoise and nearly

four carats worth of diamonds.

As one would expect, Sage distributes his

work exclusively through fine jewelers and galler-

ies. LAVIANO recently sat down with Sage to ask

about the secrets behind his sparkling creations.

Did you always dream of becoming a

jewelry designer?

Actually, no. I majored in marketing in college,

and I intended to become an architect someday.

But after I graduated, a home furnishings com-

pany in North Carolina hired me. I knew nothing

about textiles, but since they were trying to

open some new markets in Europe and South

America and I spoke seven languages, I seemed

to be a good fi t.

I spent the next eight years in Europe.

I traveled all over the continent, spending a

month or two at a time in Milan, Barcelona,

Paris, everywhere. Eventually I started designing

and coloring the textiles myself.

How did you make the move from textiles?

I have some family and friends in the gem busi-

ness. When I returned to the States, I took what

I thought was a temp job with my father. I just

wanted to see what the business was like. I

picked it up quickly, having been exposed

to it as a child. Soon I was working with the

stones, designing pieces that were kind of

off the wall, different, unique. I didnt know

what I was doing, but customers bought them!

How has your textiles experience

infl uenced your work?

I see things differently than most people in

the business. In textiles, you try to coordinate

a look, to put

a fl owered sofa

with striped curtains.

You dont always want everything to

match perfectly.

Its the same with jewelry

for me. Im not all about matching

the pendant to the earrings to the

bracelet. Women often want my

pieces to work well with the jewelry

they already own. They arent going

to buy everything from me!

I also think a lot about the way

jewelry feelshow smooth is it,

how well it fi ts. Women often tell

me that my rings fi t really well.

That means a lot to me.

Most people approach

textiles in the same way. If

you see something you like,

you touch the fabric, you see

how it feels, you decide if

its going to be comfortable.

Only then do you start think-

ing about price.

Do textiles ever inspire

your designs?

Sure, sometimes. The crew-

elwork on the fabrics that

were common in England at

the time of James I

inspired my Jaco-

bean collection.

But really, all sorts of

places and objects inspire me.

The Spanish town of the same name

inspired my Granada collection about

four years ago. You can see its heavy

Moorish infl uences refl ected in my

paisleys and arabesques.

The shape of a bats wing led

to my Paloma pieces. (Yes, I know

paloma means dove in Spanish,

but who would want to wear a bat

wing?) And once, a hall light in an

offi ce building caught my eye and I

used it as the basis for a pendant.

Other times I design around

a particular gem: I see it and

know immediately that it will

become a beautiful ring

or pendant or set

of earrings.

Do you have any favorite gems?

I love colored gems. Peridot is

my favorite, but I like all sunshiny,

happy colorsyellows, oranges,

greens. Beautiful gems are

delicious. Theyre mouthwatering.

When Im around them, Im like a

kid in a candy store. I have stashes

of gems that I havent made into

anything yet.

And this may sound odd,

coming from a jewelry designer,

but I like semiprecious stones more

than precious ones. I can do so

much more with them. They can

be really huge without becoming so

expensive that no one can buy and

enjoy them.

What kind of woman buys your

pieces? Whom do you have in

mind when youre designing?

I always ask myself, Would my

wife want to wear this? Would

my mother want to? Many of

my customers are independent

professional women who purchase

the pieces for themselves. Others

are more mature and have already

established themselves; they have

their diamonds and pearls and

theyre looking for something new

and different and maybe a little

unconventional.

What do you like most about

what you do?

I love to create. I get really excited

when a new piece is ready. Some-

times I love a piece so much that I

dont want to sell it!

I also enjoy recutting gems;

thats something I do a lot. Its like

making fi ne clothing. A dress might

look nice on a hanger, but it usually

takes careful tailoring to transform

it into a truly stunning piece. The

same is true for gems.

Plus, I just love being around

jewelry. I dont wear muchI make

cuffl inks for myself occasionally

but my wife has a lot!

Whats next for your

company?

Id love to do a bridal line,

a mens line, and accesso-

ries that complement the

jewelry. My wife tells me I

should design handbags. It

all sounds good to me!

On screen and off, Grace Kelly

projected a cool confi dence.

This page shows the actress in

To Catch a Thief. Opposite, she

poses on the Mediterranean.

Both images are from 1954.

Imagine Angelina Jolie wearing the same dress three times

including to the Academy Awards. Or Anne Hathaway glid-

ing down the red carpet without conferring with Rachel Zoe.

Today, its unthinkable. But when Grace Kelly accepted the

1954 Best Actress Oscar for her role in The Country Girl, she

grabbed a favorite ensemblean ice blue satin dress and

matching coatstraight from her closet. It wasnt on loan. No

stylist picked it out. She didnt borrow any jewels. And not only

had she worn the outfit (fashioned by legendary Paramount

costume designer Edith Head) to the premiere of the film, but

she also had posed in it for

a Life magazine cover.

The fact is that in

Hollywoods Golden Age,

actresses became style

icons by displaying their

natural flair for fashion. It

was the wrap of a scarf, the

toss of a lustrous mane, a

beguiling carriage that set

the stars apart from the

starlets, and whether casu-

al in Capri pants or stunning

in a strapless gown, Grace

Kelly quickly ascended to

supernova status.

Her cool confi dence,

marked by a fondness for

sedate shirtwaist dresses,

low heels and prim gloves,

stood in stark contrast to

the come-on curves of fel-

low screen sirens such as

Elizabeth Taylor, Brigitte

Bardot and Marilyn Mon-

roe. Yet from behind her

veiled hats and oversize sunglasses, she exuded an under-

current of smoldering sensuality. You can feel the heat in her

portrayal of Francie Stevens, the steely sophisticate who

makes cat burglar John Robie (Cary Grant) melt in Alfred

Hitchocks To Catch a Thief. And as Lisa Fremont, the girl who

would not wear a dress twice, in Hitchcocks Rear Window, she

models a frothy negligee like nobodys business, the paragon of

assertiveand absolutely irresistibleelegance.

Even hiding a baby bump became a fashion statement

when Princess Grace of Monaco did it. Her method? Strategi-

cally toting a boxy oversize

Herms bag, known ever

since as the Kelly bag.

With her sentimental

attachment to clothing and

accessories, she contin-

ued to clutch the Kelly (she

owned manyin black,

honey, brown, red and green)

long after little Caroline was

born. Fads could come and

go, but Grace stayed true to

the unpretentious classics

she adored. Its no wonder

that nearly 30 years after her

untimely death, the regal yet

down-to-earth actress-turned-

princess is still celebrated for

her eternal style. See Faith

Hill done up as Grace on the

June cover of Redbook. Or

January Jones channeling

her wholesome chic on Mad

Men. Or yourself, next time

you pair a cashmere sweater

with pearls.

What do you get when you take the body of a LOTUS ELISE and give it a green heart? The TESLA ROADSTER a PLUG-IN THRILL RIDE that says the future really can BE ELECTRIC!

ITS NOT JUST GASOLINE and nasty exhaust emissions the

new Tesla Roadster spares the world. As the first high-

performance EV (electric vehicle), it also cuts down on noise

pollution. Thats because the roar characteristic of sports

cars with an internal combustion engine has been tamed

to a barely audible purr by the Silicon Valley upstart. For

some enthusiasts, the quiet can be disconcertinga turnoff

evenbut for the eco-conscious lover of exotic cars, thinking

of this debut model from Tesla Motors as the silent, stealthy

type can be an automotive aphrodisiac. C O N T I N U E D . . .

Unlike other high-performance cars,

the electric Tesla Roadster is perfectly

at ease cruising low and slow (and

silently) down the boulevard. But press

the accelerator, and youre rewarded

with an instant surge of power.

| BY MARIA LISSANDRELLO


MAR IA L I SSANDRELLO writes frequently about automobiles and food.

She is also the librettist for opera composer Christof Bergman.

If your experience of electric vehicles

is limited to golf carts, the Tesla

Roadster just might blow your mind.

The car will take you smoothly from

0 to 60 mphor 60 to 120, for that

matterin less than 4 seconds.

Modeled after the Lotus Elise, the carbon-fiber car weighs in

at 2,700 pounds, 36 percent of it claimed by the battery, or rather

batteries6,831 of them to be precise. That may be 781 pounds

more than the Elise, but dont worrythe extra weight doesnt slow

it down. Quite the contrary. EVs produce maximum torque at 0 rpm,

so a press of the Tesla Roadsters accelerator launches you like a

torpedo, pinning your back to the seat. No surprise the small, sleek

car does 0 to 60 in 3.9 seconds. And the relentless torque means

a single-speed transmission is all thats needed to get you where

youre going at a rate that outpaces the Lotus. For sure, with its

slot-car handling and Yokohama tires that grip the road like Velcro,

its a blast to drive.

On the flip side, when you take your foot off the accelerator,

the regenerative braking system (which recycles the energy usually

lost through braking) kicks in at once, causing the car to slow before

youve even tapped the Brembo brakes. Its a function that takes

some getting used to and may have you stopping short of stop signs

and red lights.

Of course, before you can put the pedal to the metal, you have

to get into the cara feat for any driver whos not lean and lithe. Like

the Lotus, the Tesla sits ultra-low to the ground. Once you manage to

sling your legs over the door sill and lower yourself into the narrow

bucket seat, youll notice its none too roomy. The Spartan cockpit

(which is, of course, what the purist wants in a sports car) pretty

much rules out the revolutionary EV as an option for those seeking

long-haul comfort.

Then again, the longest distance the Tesla Roadster will take

4 8 / H O L I D AY 2 0 0 9


you on a single charge is 244 miles. What then? Itll take about three-

and-a-half hours to charge upat a cost of just $4 to $7, depending

on your local electricity rates. And never having to spend a drop on

gas or oil isnt the only savings: The car is virtually maintenance free.

Just thinkno oil changes, no mufflers, no timing belts. About the

only thing that can wear out over time is the battery, which means no

worries about mechanical breakdowns.

And heres another perk: Youll enjoy a $7,500 Federal tax cred-

it, not to mention incredible savings on gas. New Jersey waives

sales and use tax on EVs. So if you live in N.J. and the Tesla Road-

sters $109,000 sticker price sounds steep, consider that youd reap

an immediate savings of at least $10,000. All told, choosing the

Tesla could bring savings of $25,000 over an equivalent gas guz-

zlerand get you noticed as a sports car enthusiast with a soft

spot for planet Earth.

Test-driving the TeslaWHEN THE GOOD FOLKS AT VULCAN MOTOR CLUB let me play with their Tesla

Roadster for a day, I learned that the most fun thing about this vehicle, hands

down, is the stunning acceleration. Turn the key in the ignition, or whatever you

call it in an electric car, and a beep tells you the motor is on. Theres no engine

sound, no vibration. Tap the accelerator ever so gently, and the car eases into

motion like a golf cart. You could glide quietly down a parade route at 1 mph. But

press down on the pedal, and now youre Han Solo making the jump to hyper-space.

Whats more, the smooth, silent, instantaneous surge of power is available at any

speed. Going from 60 to 120 is the same as going from 0 to 60a thrill that lasts

a little less than 4 seconds. Whether on back roads or the highway, I found myself

looking for any opportunity to unleash a sudden, massive burst of speed.

My Tesla ride was not entirely silent. Besides the hum of the tires and the

whistling wind, I heard a creaking spring that begged for adjustment. But I could

forgive imperfections in fi t and fi nish. This was, after all, the fi rst generation of a

brand new automotive marque.

Thanks to its Lotus body, the Tesla Roadster scored big points for looks.

Some guy passed me on the highway, honking, smiling and giving a thumbs up.

I waved back and then smoked him, unable to resist the pleasure of punching it

one more time. Mark Dowden

Swiss watches are known for their accuracy, but only 5 percent

of them receive the ultimate designation of certified chronometer,

meaning the timepiece has been tested by the official Swiss chro-

nometer testing institute, the Contrle Officiel Suisse des Chro-

nomtres, or COSC, and has met its rigorous standards.

The only major watchmaker that chooses to send the COSC all

of its movements, mechanical and quartz-driven alike, is Breitling.

The company took this step a decade ago, continuing a path of fa-

natical devotion to precision that can be traced back to the founder,

Lon Breitling.

When Lon launched his family enterprise in 1884 in Saint-

Imier, Switzerland, his aim was not to make watches that served

merely to record the time, but to make measuring instruments for

science, sport and industry. His obsession coincided with the second

industrial revolution and the ascendancy of the internal combustion

engine, which required perfect accuracy and reliability in

its timing mechanisms.

When Lons son Gaston took the helm of Breitling in

1914, the age of flight was under way. Gaston presented

the first wrist-worn chronograph for pilots a year later. He

had the idea of creating a push piece independent from

the crown, which handled all three chronograph functions

start, stop and reset. In 1923 this system was perfected by

separating the start and stop functions from the reset; the

reset function was moved from the push piece to the crown.

This patented innovation made it possible to perform several

timing operations in a row without having to reset the hands,

thereby making it easy to add up total time elapsed. In 1934,

Lons grandson Willy gave the chronograph its modern

face by adding a second independent push piece at

This page, Breitling was the fi rst

to add a second independent push

piece at the 4 oclock position,

establishing the modern standard

of chronograph design; opposite,

Lon Breitling, who founded his

eponymous company in 1884 as

a workshop specializing in chrono-

graphs and precision counters.


4 oclocka style that was instantly copied by other makers and has

remained the worldwide standard.

It was in the 1930s that Breitling began manufacturing timing in-

struments for the cockpits of aircraft. The Royal Air Force was an early

customer, as were many of the great aircraft manufacturers of the mid-

20th centuryDouglas, Lockheed, Vickers. Commercial airlines fol-

lowed suitAmerican, Pan-Am, United, BOAC and KLM among them.

The ubiquity of Breitling chronometers in cockpits earned the company

the title of Official Supplier to World Aviation.

Breitling also developed the definitive pilots wristwatch, the Navi-

timer. Introduced in 1952, the watch incorporated a circular slide rule

that allowed pilots to perform all flight-plan calculations. The Aircraft

Owners and Pilots Association, the worlds largest pilot group, made

the Navitimer its official watch. A version of the Navitimer, the Cos-

monaute, went into space with Scott Carpenter in the Aurora capsule

in 1962.

Willy Breitling continued to innovate late in life, introducing the

first self-winding chronograph movement, the Caliber 11, in 1969. A

decade later, in 1979, ownership of Breitling passed to another family

when Ernest Schneider took over. While continuing Breitlings techno-

logical leadership in mechanical chronographs, Schneider also gained

for Breitling a leading position in electronic watches, with models such

as the Emergency.

The Emergency wristwatch has a built-in radio transmitter that can

be activated by the wearer. The model used in civilian aviation broad-

casts on the 121.5 MHz distress signal, while the model for military us-

ers broadcasts on the 243 MHz military frequency. On flat land or calm

seas, the signal can be picked up 90 miles away.

TV viewers of Man vs. Wild can spot survival expert Bear Grylls

wearing a Breitling Emergency in many episodes of the show. And the

watch can indeed save ones life. Two R.A.F. pilots, Steve Brooks and

Hugh Quentin-Smith, activated their Breitling Emergency watches after

their helicopter crashed in Antarctica. A Chilean aircraft found them by

homing in on the signals from their wrists.

The inherent accuracy of the quartz watchwhich nearly spelled

the death of the mechanical timepiece in the late 20th centuryis not

accurate enough for Breitling. A quartz watch typically varies two to

three minutes per year. In 2002, Breitling introduced superquartz. Its

thermal compensation sensor minimizes temperatures effect on the

quartz movement, resulting in an average yearly variation of just 15 sec-

ondsfully 10 times better than standard quartz.

Clockwise from top, members of the Breitling Aviation Academy; a 1937

advertisement emphasized the brands connection to aviation; the Bentley GMT

model features an ingenious multiple time zone display system; the Breitling

chronograph was a staple for early aviators such as Amelia Earhart.

Breitling was an originator of the big wristwatch for purely

functional reasons. When big watches became a design statement

as well, Breitling upped the ante, introducing the Breitling for Bentley

line, in collaboration with the automobile maker, in 2003. The lead

model, the Bentley Motors watch, has an imposing 48.7-millimeter

case with a knurled bezel reminiscent of Bentleys instrument con-

trols. True to the spirit of both brands, the watch also boasts two ex-

clusive functions: The center hand sweeps once around the dial in half

a minute rather than 60 seconds, enabling an accurate read-off to the

eighth of a second. The watch also has a unique variable tachometer,

which calculates average speed regardless of time elapsed, distance

covered or speed achieved.

Today Breitling is led by Ernest Schneiders son Theodore, mak-

ing it one of the rare large Swiss watchmaking firms (Patek Philippe

is another) that remains in family hands. This independent status

gives Breitling the luxury to pursue the most challenging innovations,

indulging a passion for precision that began five generations ago.

ESCAPEMALDIVESTO THE

REETHI RAH and COCOA ISLAND offer two visions of BEACHSIDE PARADISE

THINK DESERT-ISLAND PARADISE, and a variety of tropical images inevitably come to

mind: sandy beaches that are ultra-white and silky under foot, a crystal sea studded

with colorful coral reefs, azure skies, perfect palm trees and, of course, quiet seclusion.

If one destination matches this mental checklist, its the Maldives, an island

republic sprawled across 56,000 square miles of the Indian Ocean. The Maldives has

the distinction of being the worlds lowest-lying country; its sandy hillocks rarely reach

more than a few meters above sea level. Thats because the entire country is a constel-

lation of coral reef atolls. Twenty-six atolls comprise 1,192 small islands, only 202

of which are inhabited. Of these, about 90 are resort islands, and of the 90, perhaps

18 are truly special, the location of some of the most rarefi ed resorts anywhere. C O N T I N U E D . . .

The over-water villas

at Reethi Rah offer

thatched-roof elegance

and endless views of

the Indian Ocean.


6 4 / H O L I D AY 2 0 0 9

Perched over water, the villas at Cocoa Island emphasize barefoot luxury. The resort setting is

more reef than island, as seen in the photo below; snorkeling and diving are prime activities here.

At Reethi Rah (opposite), high ceilings, natural materials and minimalist style distinguish the large

villas. Beachside diningal fresco, of courseis one of several mealtime options.

While the Maldives has had occasional visitors for millenniait was a stop on ancient

Persian and Chinese trade routesit was only in the mid-1990s that tourism took off,

meaning virtually all of the resorts in the Maldives are quite new. The best of these resorts

have a lot in common: Each has luxury villas of unique design. Each has extraordinary coral

reefs lying just offshore, a world of rays, triggerfi sh, clownfi sh and hawksbill turtles. Each

has stellar service and a great spabecause the whole point of a Maldives vacation is to

send you home relaxed, recharged and refreshed. Its why Donna Karan, Sienna Miller,

Beyonc Knowles and Sir Paul McCartney are major fans.

But the approach to relaxation varies by resort. Here we present two resorts consis-

tently rated among the best of the best, representing two ends of the relaxation spectrum:

One&Only Reethi Rah makes you comfortable with electronic amenities and glamorous

surroundings, while Cocoa Island epitomizes the concept of barefoot luxury.

REETHI RAH

One&Only resorts are the top-tier properties of Butch Kerzner, who developed Atlantis in

the Bahamas and Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. There are just six One&Only resorts world-

wide (the best-known to Americans being Palmilla at the tip of the Baja Peninsula), and

what they share are sophistication without stuffi ness and service that approaches six stars.

Reethi Rah, located on North Mal atoll, is no different. The experience begins at the

airport, where one of the hotels high-speed custom yachts (which doubles as a registration


desk) whisks you to the property, one of the few islands in the

Maldives that has been expanded, in this case to six times its

original size. There are 130 large villas, some set on stilts over

the water. The beach villas have outdoor king-sized sun beds

set on private infi nity pools next to the beach.

In a country renowned for its spas, Reethi Rah sets the

bar high. An ESPA spa offers 10 treatment rooms and many ay-

urvedic therapies, not to mention signature treatments like the

ESPA Energy Equalizer with Volcanic Hot Stones. Theres a yoga

pavilion, women-only areas and multi-day Wellness Journeys,

such as the seven-day Holistic Fitness journey.

The choice of restaurants at Reethi Rah is superb. Fanditha

serves Lebanese cuisine on tables placed on the sand as well

as in Arabian-style tents; Tapasake offers Japanese fusion;

Reethi Restaurant has an international menu. And the remote

location is no barrier to gastronomic excellence. Sushi-grade

fi sh is fl own in from Tokyo, free-range lamb from Australia,

strawberries from Belgium. Reethi Rah ranks number 17 for

foodin the world, mind youon the Cond Nast Traveler Gold

List 2009 of the Best Hotels in the World.

COCOA ISLAND

Cocoa Island has a deceptive simplicity, not unlike that of its

sister Como resort, Parrot Cay, half a world away in the Turks &

Caicos. Its as if the humble but well-located beach shack has


66 / FA L L W I N T E R 2 0 0 8


H O L I D AY 2 0 0 9 / 6 7

been made over with cool urban chic.

Cocoa lies in South Mal atoll, a 35-minute speedboat transfer

from the international airport. Hotelier Christina Ongs philosophy pre-

vails here, so the property remains a simple islet covered with palms,

wild sea grapes and hibiscus, encircled by a reef with proverbial gin-clear waters.

The resort is small, just 33 rooms, and its architecture unusual. Serpentine

wooden walkways lead out to each accommodation, which is set on stilts, with

baby sharks and reef fi sh circling below. There are rooms, suites, loft suites and

loft villas, the latter with kitchen and private butler. The Dhoni suites are built to

resemble local fi shing boats. Surrounded by water, they actually look like fl oating

boats, but they are fi rmly secured on stilts. Each has a full-length glass wall, giving

you a sweeping view of the Indian Ocean from your bed.

Inside they are airy indeed, with high cathedral ceilings. Bathrooms are huge,

with separate shower and tub. But its the natural materials that are standouts.

There are lots of white fabrics, including Frette sheets. The furnishings are wood

and understated, fl oors are teak, and the overall mood rather Zen-like.

Maybe the single biggest reason to choose Cocoa Island is the Shambhala

Retreat, widely considered among the best spas in the Maldives. If youre pining

for an Abhyanga Ayurvedic massage or a two-hour Como Shambhala Ritual mas-

sage, go for it. After a morning of yoga on the beach, of course. This place has

a massive reputation among devotees of yoga, and some of the worlds leading

instructors hang out here.

Cuisine is a major part of your stay at any Como property, and at the Ufaa

restaurant, which is thatched with alang alang grass, you sit on large sofas and

cushions. You can expect Indian-, Sri Lankan- and Thai-style cuisine, or you can

elect low-fat, organic Como Shambhala cuisine.

At Cocoa Island, you can literally snorkel from your room to reef. And if

youve ever contemplated learning to dive, these calm waters would be the place

to begin. Theres even deep sea fi shing and windsurfi ng available as well.

But to capture the true spirit of Cocoa Island, simply take a private boat to a

deserted beach, with champagne, picnic and partner in hand. After all, you dont

want to overdo it in paradise.

EVERETT POTTER writes frequently about travel to Asia.

PLANNING YOUR TRIP

The best time to visit the Maldives is December through March, the driest months.

Temperature remains steady year-round, averaging 88 F by day and 73 F at night.
