GMT XXL - Summer 2009
Cvstos draws much of its design inspiration and indeed its clientele from the world of luxury yachting and that of motor-racing. So what better place could there be than Monaco in which to organise an event for the brand's best customers?
It was in the magnificent setting of the Monaco harbor that Sassoun Sirmakes and Antonio Terranova invited these privileged clients to enjoy a bird's-eye view of the 67th edition of the Monaco Grand Prix – one of the oldest and most prestigious motor races created in 1929 by Antony Noghes, son of the President of the Automobile Club de Monaco, under the auspices of Prince Louis II of Monaco. Cvstos rose to the challenge of temporarily transferring its showroom to an apartment situated opposite the Stade Nautique Rainier III.
From the terrace which was laid out as a VIP lounge, guests could follow around 80% of the race without losing sight of their favorite driver. The 25 invitees thus enjoyed some unforgettable moments and a wealth of in a pleasurable sensations. The 68th edition is quite likely already on next year's schedule for the brand which will doubtless present some ever more surprising pieces there.
With the Monaco Yacht Show representing the other stellar venue for billionaires from around the world, one can easily imagine that Cvstos aspires to make a noteworthy splash by taking the opportunity to showcase its Tourbillon Yachting Club model equipped with lateral portholes, a blue aluminium cage and a teakwood marquetry-worked motif forming an integral part of the movement.
