Courvoisier and Gassan’s Valentine offering for flamboyant souls

Luxury brands Courvoisier and Gassan have paired up to help you offer a perfect goodie this Valentine’s: L’Essence de Courvoisier paired with Gassan diamond rings for €2,000 each. L’Essence de Courvoisier, which is a blend of extremely rare Cognac, from the most exclusive crus, is presented in a handcrafted Baccarat crystal decanter. While the finely crafted crystal stopper of the decanter takes inspiration from the signet rings that Napoleon Bonaparte gave to his army commanders, the Gassan-designed solitaire natural Cognac-colored diamond is modeled on the L’Essence de Courvoisier crystal stopper and the shape of the bottle. The diamond rests in an 18ct white and yellow gold setting. The pairing between Courvoisier and Gassan truly brings together craftsmanship and passion and reflects the luxury credentials of both. The Valentine’s Day offer of L’Essence de Courvoisier and the Gassan ring is available at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport.

Kitchen Sink Cadillac, designed for royalty

Its’ one of a handful of dream machines that has stepped out of obscurity to regale an on-the-go top cat with a hearty appetite. Built by General Motors for its 1956 Motorama Show, the Maharani, more commonly known among collectors as the Kitchen Sink Cadillac, goes under the hammer at RM’s Automobiles of Arizona. Its’ an artifact that enlivens the ’50s era with cardboard tags, dating to when the car was built, still attached to various wiring harnesses. However, it’s the interior ones left marveling at. The space once devoted to the front passenger seat is replaced by an array of culinary appliances, including a toaster, refrigerator, hot plate, cutlery holder and, yes, a kitchen sink; not to forget that most of the gadgets are not in operational condition since they have not been used in decades. Nobody knows what kept the Maharani from going under the crusher all these years, but for sure, it’s all set to make you feel like a king at an estimate of $150,000 to $200,000.
