Doing the Continental
Frank Sinatra had it about right: “It's very subtle, the Continental, because it does what you want it to do.” I had spent the morning driving down relatively busy A roads behind a Ferrari 599 but was perfectly happy that I had got the better of the deal. It’s no hardship being cocooned in the plush cockpit of a Bentley Continental GT Speed listening to John Humphrys detailing the latest travails of our benighted government. -
Watches and fast cars
What exudes exclusivity and sophistication more than a perfectly engineered limited edition timepiece to match an obediently purring sports car with 510 break horsepower? Brummell has teamed up with watchmaker Jaeger-LeCoultre and car manufacturer Aston Martin for an evening of champagne and canapes to celebrate exquisitely crafted design - and you have the chance to win one of 25 pairs of tickets to attend the event on September 8. -
Be Bond for a day
Jaeger-LeCoultre is offering a select few an exclusive opportunity to push the Aston Martin DB9 to its limits on the track on September 11. This is no ordinary test drive. Guests will take on circuits including the Hill, where the James Bond movie "Casino Royale" was shot, at Millbrook in Bedfordshire. -
Small is beautiful
No woman could fail to be wowed by the Joaillerie 101 Manchette, a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch housing the world's smallest mechanical movement in an incredibly feminine piece of jewellery in 18 carat white gold, beset with 576 diamonds which at night reveal the secret message "I love you". -
Marking time
This year marks the 175 anniversary of Antoine-LeCoultre setting up his watchmaking workshop in Vallée de Joux, Switzerland. Since 1833 it has grown into the world-renowned brand Jaeger-LeCoultre, and to mark the occasion the company has created the Master Control 1833 Collection - four watches highlighting the legacy of its founder.
