A shock for all my readers! It seems residents in at a Massachusetts adult community built by Brendon Homes have started getting their retirement benefits in the form of perks. The booming trend of enjoying full-fledged home theater is a living proof of the declaration that I have made.

The well-packaged home theater experience comes with a projector and a sound system that will blow most people away, making you feel young in your old age.

“We’re putting a lot of these systems in for people in retirement communities,” says Dave Lavine of electronics retailer and installation company Percy’s, based in Worcester, MA. “People want to entertain. And many of [them] have never had this stuff, so they want ease of use and small speakers.”

The front cabinet is occupied with a one-piece Bose Lifestyle media center that combines a DVD/CD player, AM/FM radio, amplifier, 200 hours of digital music storage and speakers.
Of course a remote is needed to channel its functioning and to ease the retired people. The small but powerful Bose speakers are on the top shelves, and the center channel hangs from the ceiling.

The ambience that this system provides can land your grandparents in another honeymoon. So, guys keep your spy eye open and enjoy the double-fun.

This has to be categorized as jewelry rather than a time piece. It has a logical reasoning behind it. The purpose of the watch to reflect time doesn’t demand high cost. What made it elite is the 493 top Wesselton “baguette” diamonds that surround the case dial and buckle. Created by Hublot, the One Million Dollar Big Bang watch follows the “serti mysterieux” technique (used in the jewelry creation by Van Cleef & Arpels (Paris) which allows only the visibility of diamonds that dominate the structure holding it, making it invisible).

It uneasy price tag is because of its not-so-easy production. Having invested more than 2,000 hours on its designing through R&D, machine programming, the cutting of the diamonds, setting, casing and fine-tuning; this piece-of-art luxury deserves this commanding price.

Well, does the display of time divulged at Baselworld is marvelous? The question remains open-ended because I haven’t tried it.

Of course features makes you a little biased. Amid myriad of existing speakers, now you have Artis Karissima speakers by Cabasse.

The orb-shaped “lens” offers directional sound in frequencies ranging from 80-22,000Hz. Attached 12-inch woofer produces frequencies down to 27Hz along with a power of 94dB, but one should not think of substituting it with a dedicated subwoofer as Karissima only covers a single channel in the packaged audio setup.
