Nixie Wearable Drone Quad Camera

Nixie Wearable Drone Quad Camera

Wearable technology is all the new design and concept rage. That and the connection of products and things to the the net and us. We may not become cyborgs over the next decade but we will certainly be dressing like one.
The Nixie is a wrist band you wear like a watch which unstraps and turns into a quad copter that can film or photograph you then fly back onto your wrist.
This is about as Sci FI as it gets. Think of all the other applications for this wearable technology.

Ducati 1199 Panigale Superbike - eXcellence in Motion

Ducati 1199 Panigale Superbike - eXcellence in Motion

It's not brand new but the 1199 Panigale is a super bike to drool over. Also the photo campaign by Moto Corsa is hilarious. They did the usual super bike shots with a scarily clad lady and then swapped in a few more beefy chaps to even the playing field and give women something to enjoy.
It's a great parody and show Ducati really do have a sense of humour as well as making dream super bikes.

20 Movies to See at the 28th Leeds International Film Festival

Today sees the beginning of England's largest film festival outside London, and a prized asset of the north. LIFF28, to use the acronym, will see well over 200 screenings take place in and around the biggest city in Yorkshire over a 15-day period of time, with an abundance of UK premieres, exclusive lectures, director Q&As, live events and cultist celebrations.

Hotel Du Vin & Bistro Winchester

Hotel Du Vin & Bistro Winchester

There are 15 Hotels Du Vin across the UK so one might be tempted to think of them as merely another chain, but they run the whole business with care and passion, concentrating, despite the name, on the British character of their locations.
The Hotel du Vin in Winchester came recommended to us by friends who are chefs and it made an ideal stop on our Aston Martin British Luxury Tour, as we had wanted to visit the Cathedral and the surrounding countryside for a while.

Hand & Flowers Live Up To Their Two Michelin Stars

Hand & Flowers Live Up To Their Two Michelin Stars

Hand & Flowers, Marlow. Review
So we decided to take the Aston Martin DB9 over to the Hand and Flowers in Marlow. The chef is Tom Kerridge and in 2011 he had the distinction of being the first pub to receive two Michelin Stars, putting him up there with chefs like Michel Roux at Le Gavroche and Raymond Blanc at Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons. As we were on a British Luxury Tour, this pub seemed like the perfect stop for lunch on our way to Cliveden Hotel and Spa, where we were staying the night.

Superyachts: Fastest Yachts In The World

Superyachts: Fastest Yachts In The World

A Visit to a Leading Italian Builder of Fast Yachts
300kph in a car; few people even motoring journalists have achieved that speed.  A few more will have travelled at 50+ knots in a power boat.  However, only a small minority will have travelled at that speed in a comfortable cruising motor yacht, doubtless with a glass of something good like champagne to hand.  Perhaps it is a case of more fizz in the yacht than in the champagne?

Top Ten eXcellence Ski Resorts

Top Ten eXcellence Ski Resorts

The world’s best places to mix and meet with the highest profile glitterati are the most fashionable European and North American ski resorts. The skiing experience aboard is a rather different experience in any one of the very top resorts. Any person you talk to on a ski lift could well be featured in a magazine you read whether it is on business, fashion or simply gossip.

3 Ferraris at 24 Hours of Le Mans

3 Ferraris at 24 Hours of Le Mans

It all started over an inebriated argument between banker husband and wife essentially covering the topic of how manly escapades were no longer partaken of. Just work and family. A few phone calls later to a once legendary but now ageing crew, myself included, and permission granted from partners (bribed with future promises of luxury spas) and the die was cast.
So International eXcellence Magazine set off for the 24 hrs of Le Mans with some very old friends in three Ferraris for a manly few days of luxury camping and racing!
