ANNIVERSARY WATCH

This year sees the 40th anniversary
of the BMW GS which has been the
motorcycle of choice for many long
distance adventure riders, not to
mention those whose most arduous trip
is to work and back.
Now, to celebrate four decades of the
model, a new wristwatch has been unveiled –
and not just any timepiece, the manufacturers
say that this is the world’s largest wristwatch with a diameter of over
two-and-a-half inches. Made in Germany and powered by a high-
precision Swiss quartz movement, its gigantic format isn’t the only thing
that makes it an eyecatcher. The black dial with white numerals and blue
second hand is a striking contrast to the stainless case. A prominent ‘GS
since 1980’ logo commemorates the year that BMW’s motorcycle first
hit the road. The watch will be made in a limited production runs and
sells for 160 euros; it’s available exclusively at www.beemergs.com.

Brazil, with a Grade 1 Southern Ethiopian bean.
Mike Ashmead, founder of the Herald Motor Co, said: “When
selecting our coffee, we chose a blend that consisted entirely of
Arabica beans. This coffee is grown at higher altitudes than Robusta.
It’s harder to grow due to lower tolerance to disease but it tastes
better!”. When asked why the company, known for its stylish small
capacity machines, had turned its hand to coffee, Mike told us:
“Coffee and motorcycles are a great combination, just look at the
café cacer! Coffee felt like the next step in expanding our lifestyle
range. Currently it’s available to purchase as beans to be consumed
at home, but we are looking forward to exploring other options”. To
