POLARIS is the second unit of Prince Shark 49m and it has been exclusively designed for Rossinavi Shipyard. Enrico Gobbi of Team For Design was in charge of the interior and exterior design, achieving an excellent result giving such dimensions. On the other hand, her naval architecture was left in the professional hands of Arrabito Naval Architects.

This mega yacht is stylish whatever angle you look at it. Its clean cut exterior combines perfectly two different, but in this case, complementary aesthetics; elegance and sportiness are what define this super yacht. These sporty details are inspired in a military style, for example the front windshields inclined 45 degrees backwards, which gives a strong look to the ship. Another distinctive element of its exterior design is its well proportioned volume, a central concern of Enrico Gobbi so he can deliver spacious inside and outside areas despite the fact that its superstructure isn't massive. Still he was able to give the illusion of enlargement thanks to the long, continuous windows and managed to design a megayacht with three decks and a fly deck. These numerous areas are rare in a yacht of this category, but still they were able to pull it off, maintaining a sleek, elegant exterior, and not messing with its aesthetic or practicality.

In the wake of the CNB 76 and the earlier CNB 77, here is "Spip". She is slender, light, exquisite and benefits from the latest technology and naval architectural progress. The integrated superstructures are made of vacuum infused composite, the hull is fluid and powerful, the deck plan provides ideal sea access.

"A simple gesture to stop time, to turn it backwards and to start it again"

Now-a-days everyone knows the importance of measurement of time in the world of the Navy, and finally there is an instrument to facilitate navigation: The Panerai Chronographs Collection. These make one of men's long-lasted wishes come true, the ability to control time. As the name itself states, chronograph is the combination of two Greek words: chrónos, time, and gráphein, to write; literally "to write time". Officine Panerai is searching for the best solutions for this issue, so navigation comes easier. A first attempt was in 1943 with the innovative creation of the "Mare Nostrum", a watch especially design for deck officers, but this was an extremely rare piece of jewelry, since only two or three pieces were produced. Now, eager to continue with tradition, Officine Panerai launches the collection of high-range chronographs which are, as the brand perfectly tells us "a simple gesture to stop time, to turn it backwards and to start it again".

The sixth and final model of the exclusive "Les Légendes de Bugatti" edition is achieved, together with a once in a life time opportunity.
One year ago, during the Monterey Car Week, Bugatti launched an exclusive model series named "Les Légendes de Bugatti". This year, the project culminates with an incredible finale; the world première of the last legend will be host on August 15th in "The Quail: A Motorsports Gatherin" and on August 17th in the "Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance". Alongside the premiere of the final model, Bugatti will also present all six legends together for the first time; this will be a show you won't want to miss!
The sixth model is a tribute to the founder and patron of the brand, Ettore Bugatti, and is based in the historical and iconic model Type 41 Royale. It is no coincidence that such dramatic car, considered the most powerful and luxurious one of its time, has been chosen to honor such an important person in the automotive world. As the character it honors, the sixth legend portrays everything is crucial for Ettore Bugatti, and his demand that an automobile be a perfect harmony of technology and aesthetics is the perfect definition for this out of space model. This re-signified Type 41 Royale epitomizes the main values of the brand: art, form, and technique, where all three of these elements perfectly blend together producing an aesthetical functional master piece.
