Max Biaggi and electric motorcycle constructor Voxan are set to attempt to break no fewer than 12 world speed records, on the runway of Châteauroux airport in France. The challenge, taking place over three days starting on 30 October, will see the six-time world motorcycling champion and the Monegasque company celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Venturi Group’s electric adventure.

A celebration all the same

These world speed record attempts were originally due to take place last July on the planet’s largest salt flat, Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia. Gildo Pastor, President of Venturi, was keen for the event to form part of the Group’s 20th anniversary. However, it was ultimately postponed owing to COVID-19. With the health crisis still on-going, there is no immediate prospect of travel to Bolivia next year would be possible.

As a result, and to ensure the 20^th anniversary is marked in fitting style all the same, Gildo Pastor has opted to set up at Châteauroux airport, in central France, whose runway meets the criteria laid down by the FIM (Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme).

From 88 to 330 km/h… minimum

Voxan and Max Biaggi will hit the tarmac with both the semi-streamliner and non-streamlined Wattman (see photo above: on the left, the non-streamlined Wattman; in the centre, the lighter version of the semi-streamliner Wattman (used in case of side winds); and on the right, the fully decked-out semi-streamliner Wattman).

Each 270 kW (367 hp) machine will attempt to set the stopwatch alight over the following distances: ¼ mile, 1 mile, and 1 km - each time from both a standing start, and a flying start.

In six of these twelve categories, no official attempt has ever been made before, and so six new records are guaranteed. In the remaining six categories, there are records to be beaten. The target speeds vary considerably. In the semi-streamliner category, for example, the speed for the ¼ mile is 87 km/h, whereas for the mile the figure is 329 km/h.

Quotes

“The whole team has been ready to take on these world records for several weeks. So instead of waiting to find out whether we will be able to ride in Bolivia in June 2021, I have decided to make the attempt now, on the track that’s both best suited and closest to our base in Monaco. If the weather conditions are good, we will be able to collect some records. It will be a fine way to mark 20 years of the Venturi Group.”

Gildo Pastor, President of Venturi

“This will be our third time riding on the runway at Châteauroux airport. The performances in testing in June and August gave us confidence. We are more than ready. This weekend, if the track is dry and the side winds are light, we will be able to beat several records. I can’t wait to bring these titles back to Monaco and the team!”

Global Montblanc Ambassador Charlotte Casiraghi, actors Pierre Niney, Adrien Brody and Billy Porter join Montblanc for a special celebration introducing new (MONTBLANC M)^RED writing instruments and luggage

To mark the latest chapter in its partnership with (RED) and the collective fight to end HIV/AIDS, Montblanc gave guests and friends of the Maison a first look at the latest additions to its (MONTBLANC M)^REDcollection at a global launch event in Paris. For the occasion, Montblanc converted the façade of its Champs-Elysées boutique in red and introduced an original art installation by Belgian artists Denis Meyers and Arnaud Kool, a fresh interpretation of the ‘the art of writing’ featuring powerful messages inspired by the (MONTBLANC)^RED partnership. With the launch of the expanded (MONTBLANC M)^REDCollection - a new Trolley and writing instrument collection - Montblanc reaffirmed its commitment to raising money and awareness for the fight to end HIV/AIDS.

Guests including Montblanc’s Ambassador Charlotte Casiraghi, Adrien Brody, Billy Porter, Pierre Niney, Georgia May Jagger, Lottie Moss, Amber Lebon, Josh Dylan, Anna Brewster, Toby Regbo, Isaac Carew and Kevin Mayer, came to show their support, using their collective voices to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS and inviting others to turn words into action in order to lift the stigma of HIV, save lives and end a global epidemic.

Through its partnership with (RED) which launched in 2018 with (MONTBLANC M)^REDline specially designed by Marc Newson, Montblanc gives customers an opportunity to make a tangible impact with every purchase of a (MONTBLANC M)^REDproduct. For every (MONTBLANC M)^REDwriting instrument, luggage or accessory purchased, 5 Euros goes to the Global Fund to support HIV/AIDS programmes, which is enough to provide over 25 days of life-saving HIV medication.

Following the boutique event, guests gathered for the second part of the celebrations at the iconic Monsieur Bleu which was renamed Monsieur (RED) in honour of the partnership. Just like the boutiques, it was turned red with specially designed (RED)-inspired artwork for one night only. Following dinner and cocktails, guests enjoyed a set by Martin2Smoove, one of the world’s most in-demand DJs.

The launch of the expanded (Montblanc)^RED collection took place just one day before sixth Global Fund Replenishment conference in Lyon, France hosted by President Emmanuel Macron, bringing together governments, corporations, NGOs and private donors to pledge financial support for the fight to end AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, with the goal of securing USD $14 billion in order to save 16 million lives over the coming three years.

TAG Heuer kicked off the 50th anniversary celebrations for the Monaco timepiece at the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix, the legendary event that gave the watch its name in 1969.
TAG Heuer unveiled the first of five new collector’s timepieces inspired by the original Monaco. Five creations of the timepiece will be successively revealed throughout 2019.
Guests were granted access to some of the most prestigious and exciting events in Monaco, including a Saturday evening party on the TAG Heuer Yacht hosted by Patrick Dempsey, Bella Hadid and more.

All eyes were on the Rock of Monaco for the legendary Formula 1 Grand Prix this weekend, and on the iconic TAG Heuer timepiece celebrating its 50th anniversary in the Principality.
In honour of this milestone, it was announced that throughout the year, five creations will be successively revealed, inspired by the different decades from 1969 to 2019, and paying tribute to timeless design, enduring innovation and a style icon now more contemporary than ever.
The Monaco’s daring and iconic design has made it instantly recognisable. Every aspect of the Monaco timepiece design was radical, and went where no other watch had gone before in terms of design and technology. Not only was the TAG Heuer Monaco the first ever water-resistant square watch, it was also the first to feature an automatic-winding chronograph movement.
Since its debut, the Monaco watch and the Monaco Grand Prix, for which TAG Heuer has been the Official Watch since 2011, have had a strong connection – the most glamorous Grand Prix of the Formula 1 season gave its name to the TAG Heuer Monaco collection in 1969. No other place and location would therefore have been more suitable for celebrating the iconic timepiece’s 50th anniversary.
Taking over Monaco during the busiest weekend of the year, TAG Heuer unveiled the first Monaco limited edition at the beautiful Key Largo Villa, in the presence of Stéphane Bianchi, CEO of the LVMH Watchmaking Division and CEO of TAG Heuer and Frédéric Arnault, Chief Strategy and Digital Officer. They were joined by the rising star of the Aston Martin Red Bull Racing Team Max Verstappen, as well as Patrick Dempsey, Bella Hadid, Winnie Harlow, Kai Lenny and selected guests from all over the world.
Over the course of the exclusive three-day event, guests were granted access to some of the most prestigious and exciting events in Monaco, from a private tour of the Monaco Top Cars Collection museum including a retrospective of the Monaco timepiece, to a debrief of the Grand Prix qualifications with Christian Horner, Team Principal of the Aston Martin Red Bull Racing Team. They also attended an exclusive party hosted on the TAG Heuer Yacht on Saturday evening with an exclusive performance by famous French DJ Bob Sinclair attended by Patrick Dempsey, Bella Hadid, Winnie Harlow, Jourdan Dunn, Kai Lenny and Jean-Éric Vergne. The event culminated on Sunday with VIP access to the coveted Formula 1 Grand Prix, for which TAG Heuer is the Official Watch.

TAG HEUER HOSTS A GRAND CELEBRATION TO MARK THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ICONIC MONACO IN ITS NAMESAKE CITY

Thousands of human skulls are revered in Bolivia, in celebration or without nose “Day ñatitas” because their owners are attributed miraculous powers and the ability to communicate with the living through dreams.
The General Cemetery of La Paz city becomes every November 8 epicenter of the visit of some 20,000 devotees to celebrate the feast, eight days after the Day of the Dead. People come to the cemetery with their skulls, whom they call “ñatitas” a familiar word to emphasize that human figures are no nose. The pieces are adorned with wool caps, hats or wreaths.
Outside the cemetery thousands of people gather with their skulls to share, to eat in honor of the bone piece and even to make music because they want to thank you for the miracles they say they provide.
