The local, not-that-youngish Chinese business man purred up to the Aston Martin showroom in his Ferrari and nodded, “Is that my car?”
The only Singaporean to best Daniel Craig (“Bond, James Bond”) in quotable quotes, said gentleman is now the owner of that set of wheels you last saw in Spectre (one of the worst Bonds).
Aston Martin has rolled out 150 worldwide and of course Singapore was ahead of the queue (excuse the pun, Q). Only $1.2m. But then, it is Christmas. “Son, you can play with the Ferrari.”
Other stocking fillers with far fewer zeroes to its pricetags are:
Bang & Olufsen’s BeoLab 90, the 90 to commemorate the Danish engineering company’s anniversary. This is top of the line stuff, the future of sound, with such iconic high quality audio reproduction you won’t want to leave the room, the home. Design excellence as well.
Vertu New Signature Touch, daily luxury at your fingertips. The craftsmanship of this phone lies in its assembly process and the unstinting use of sapphire crystal (superior to gorilla glass, I should certainly hope so!) Why let the Vertu Concierge have all the fun.
Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 Spyder – faster than Spider-man himself I reckon. Combining the power performance of the coupe with the emotion of open-top driving. Too rich for your blood? Settle on an accessory or collectible from Colleczione Automobili Lamborghini in Suntec City.
Pop the B&O BeoLab90 remote, the ignition key to the Lamborghini, and the Vertu into the Christmas stocking, and ho-ho-ho into 2016.
