Maximilian Büsser & Jean-Christophe Bedos

What goes round, comes around….
Exactly ten years ago Maximilian Büsser had the privilege of creating the Opus series at Harry Winston. At that time the jeweler would approach a watchmaker with the idea of creating an exceptional timepiece. Today, in an amazing twist of fate, the young horological Concept Laboratory, MB&F, teams up with the prestigious 152 year old high jewelry legend Boucheron, to create the first ever JWLRYMACHINE.
Why Boucheron? Because of their incredible mastery of three-dimensional haute joaillerie; because of their dedication to creating powerful and emotional-charged creations that leave no one unmoved; and quite simply because both parties thoroughly enjoyed working together!
They each bring to the table a particular expertise and the end result are these incredible pieces neither would, or could, have created on their own. That is the power of what MB&F calls their “Performance Art” pieces.

Under the intricate Boucheron haute joaillerie of this Jwlrymachine beats the heart of the complex 305-component Engine of the MB&F Horological Machine No.3. In fact, when you move this haute joaillerie owl, which is reminiscent of Boucheron's most beautiful creations, you can only be intrigued by the fluttering of its breast feathers, which is a visual illusion created by the faintly perceived oscillations beneath the translucent stone of MB&F's solid-gold battle-axe-shaped rotor.

The result will have many staring in disbelief. You may love it or hate it, but the level of craftsmanship is just mind-boggling.

Note: There is a rating embedded within this post, please visit this post to rate it.Although Porsche don’t often create concept cars, today at the Geneva Motor Show 2010, they are going to display the 918 Spyder concept. The Porsche 918 Spyder is a two-seater sports car, which looks like a mix between a Carrera GT and a Boxster Spyder.

This Porsche supercar is powered by a hybrid drivetrain, which consists of a 500 horsepower V8 engine and two electric motors (one for each axle), that offer an additional 218 horsepower. It can reach a maximum speed of 198 MPH, and goes up to 62 MPH in just 3.2 seconds, with a fuel consumption of 78 mpg, and CO2 emissions of just 70 g/km.

The 918 Spyder has four different driving modes available, designed to offer anything from maximum efficiency to maximum performance. The E-Drive mode means the car is running only on electric power, with a range of up to 16 miles. In the Hybrid mode, the car uses both the combustion engine and the electric motors, and would probably be the mode for everyday driving.

The Sport Hybrid mode uses both powertrains, with the focus on performance, most of the power being delivered to the rear wheels. The last mode, Race Hybrid, delivers the best performance available, the powertrains running at the limit of their power. This mode features even a push-to-pass button, that gives additional electrical power (E-Boost), for overtaking or even better performance.

The interior design of the 918 Spyder concept is supposed to give a little hint of how the future generation of production cars interiors will look like, according to the Porsche designers.
