Mark-Francis, 26, who has been collecting since his teens, made it a habit to buy a new watch each year in order to amass an impressive collection by his middle ages. Many watch lovers would say he already has an amazing collection, which is comprised of 16 high-end timepieces, many worth a small fortune. The ‘Made In Chelsea” star recently opened up the collection to the Evening Standard to show off a few.

He revealed, during the interview, his three favorite pieces and the stories behind them. The first, a Cartier Tortue Collection Privée. This little piece of luxury is favored by Mark-Francis because it isn’t made anymore. The exclusivity of the watch makes it rare, less likely for Mark to be caught wearing it at the same time as someone else, which is very important to Mark,

“Cartier doesn’t make this one, which I love. I did see someone else wearing it once, however – I was at the Wolseley and it was this fat American, I was mortified.” – Mark-Francis Vandelli

The second, a Rolex yellow gold Oyster Perpetua. Though it’s an item of luxury, this timepiece hardy and well built. It’s Mark-Francis’ East London travels watch, as it is fit for swimming, raving, throwing, partying, sleeping, hardwearing whatever watch. You can find a style like it online for about £8,000.

The final piece, the flashy Bulgari Bulgari Chrono 42, has the most history for Mark-Francis. This particular watch was bought on holiday in Italy, but he has a special spot for the Bulgari line. He told the newspaper,

“When I was 16 my grandmother gave me the first prototype of the Bulgari Bulgari, which the Bulgari family had given her in the 1950s – I think it’s one of the only ones that was actually hand engraved around the bezel.”

Sadly, the reason Mark-Francis bought the Chrono 42 was, he fell into a river, rowing at school, while wearing the watch his grandmother gave him. He needed a modern version to keep the sentimental timepiece safe in the collection. You can find a secondhand Bulgari Bulgari Chrono 42 for about £65,000 online.

The most expensive watch in young Mark-Francis’ collection is a Cartier white gold Moonphase. He purchased is earlier this year in Chelsea from a shop in Sloane Street. He had to have it. The sun and moon dials that moved throughout the day, according to phase caught his eye. The Cartier set him back £32,000, but it was a worthwhile add to his luxury collection.

Not just any multi-million dollar resort, though. This pricey place will be an eco-tourist paradise. The focus of this project is to transform an island, located 45 minutes off the coast of Belize by boat, into a healthy, habitable home for the native wildlife, as well as an environmentally friendly human attraction.

The accomplished scuba diver and actor has starred in some of the biggest films of all time. You might recognize him from Titanic, Catch Me If You Can, Inception, and The Wolf on Wall Street. DiCaprio, along with Owner of Cayo Espanto Resort Island, Jeff Gram, found and bought the island property nearly a decade ago. The Blackadore Caye cost them about $1.75 million for 104 gorgeous acres. Leo fell in love with the country, and told The New York Times,

“It was like heaven on earth, and almost immediately, I found this opportunity to purchase an island there.”

DiCaprio has partnered with Paul Scialla, founder and CEO of Delos, for the development of the eco-resort. It took him ten years to find a partner with the same environmental visions. Delos is a New York firm that strives to create buildings and spaces that promote human health and wellbeing. Their innovative solutions are also built with the well-being of the environment in mind. A harmonious match for what DiCaprio hopes to achieve. Previous designs from Delos are sleek, green, luxurious, and tranquility-inspiring, but DiCaprio’s plans are another level. He’s got an exclusive resort in mind with infinity pools and lavish villas for only the wealthiest of travelers.

DiCaprio speaks at UN Climate Summit 2014

The eco-resort’s blueprint for “Blackadore Caye a Restorative Island” depicts the lavish and luxurious villas resting on a platform to protect villas from the waves and preserve the artificial reefs hosting marine life. The platform also makes for an indulgent breezeway – it’s structure designed to harness the ocean breeze for villa cooling purposes. There’s more to the restoration part of this project. Mangroves will be replanted in the area, and DiCaprio is also growing marine grass to help with manatee conservation. The resort is an answer to the damage done to the environment by deforestation, overfishing, and an eroding coast.

“The focus is to do something that will change the world. I couldn’t have gone to Belize and built on an island and done something like this if it weren’t for the idea it could be groundbreaking in the environmental movement.” – Leonardo DiCaprio

Blackadore Caye will house 68 guest villas. All guests will have access to the gorgeous grassland, wild jungle, and almost a mile of a beautiful private beach. People, who fall in love with the island like Leonardo DiCaprio, will have the opportunity to live on the island in one of the 48 houses that will be built. For a monthly fee, residents can receive some luxury services, such as housekeeping and meals. DiCaprio says some of the homes even offer views of both sunrise and sunset each day. You can snag one of these homes in paradise for $5 million or up to $15 million.

The villas and homes will contain the environmentally-friendly luxury amenities that are signature of Delos developments. LED circadian lighting is one such amenity. This state-of-the-art, controllable lighting system helps dwellers stay alert during the day, and have an optimal sleep at night. Guests will only have the highest quality air and water with the advanced purification systems installed. All the buildings will use only safe and healthy materials. Guests will have to go through and ecology orientation to enjoy the luxuries of Blackadore Caye, though. They’ll be expected to follow strict guidelines, like no plastic water bottles, to preserve the space of both guests and nature. A little price to pay for such pristine beauty.

The resort is destined to open their doors sometime in 2018. Until then, we can expect DiCaprio to hold up his reputation as a defender of the environment. You can also look forward to his documentaries on the environment coming to Netflix. After being appointed as Climate Change Envoy by the UN last year, DiCaprio has worked hard to produce hard hitting, educational, and entertaining media on the topic.Visit the Delos page to see their previous projects and find out more information.

In order to compete with the Apple watch, and various other smart-watches being released, these two powerhouses will have to come up with something truly innovate in the form of wearable technology. No doubt it will be luxurious and and extremely fashionable, as both are creative prodigies. The device, unlike other watches on the market, this watch will be its own entity, meaning you wont need a smartphone and an app to operate the watch. The smartband by Gucci and i.am+ will be a revolutionary piece of technology. Will.i.am had to say,

“In creating a device that is both fashionable and technologically advanced, we aim to define this category. I coined the term “fashionology”… a merging of the worlds of fashion and technology, and that is exactly what this collaboration with Gucci represents.”

The smartband to be developed will have many features, all without the use of a smartphone. You’ll be able to send calls, text messages and emails, as well as receive them, listen to music, use maps, the calender, and fitness applications. There will also be a personal assistant function that is sophisticated and highly developed. Much like Siri, it too will have have a voice command activation. There aren’t any details or more specifics when it comes to prices or a launch time. Those details will be released at a future time.

To keep up to date on those details, follow Gucci on their social media, or keep checking the news section on their webpage. You can also check out the i.am+ site for all the current details about the project and for future updates. Will.i.am has his own page to showcase his music and entrepreneurial projects. Are you excited for the i.am+? Do you already have a smartwatch? Do you want one? Let us know what you think in the comments!

Producers of the film haven’t revealed what exciting new gadgets the Bond car will feature, but previous goodies include ejector seats, defibrillators, and rocket launchers. Aston Martin has revealed they are working hand in hand with director Sam Mendes to create the ultimate spy car. Pictures of the vehicle have been released, but even the interior details about the Aston Martin DB10 are being kept hush hush. The reason most likely being is this is a design of a future model for the company; they can’t risk any secrets being leaked to competitors. Aston Martin isn’t saying a word about the car, and they won’t be selling it either. At least, not until after the filming is finished and it’s been fully driven by Mr. Bond. It’s been 50 years since Bond last drove an Aston Martin. You might remember the ultra-sleek DB5 with Sean Connery behind the wheel from Goldfinger.

Other scenes yet to be shot include a fantastic plane jump in which Bond will parachute onto the Ponte Sisto, a bridge over the Tiber from the 17^th century. Not everything has been going smoothly for producers or the crew, as many obstacles stand in the way. An epic chase in the luxury cars around Rome’s baroque fountains had to be cut from the movie due to complaints from officials of the city’s cultural heritage department. Multiple injuries have taken place on set as well. Daniel Craig, star of the show, hurt his knee last week in an intense action scene. It is said to be hindering production, among other incidents. On Tuesday, a crew member was also in a serious accident. A camera truck swerved off road and crashed into a nearby barn. The second unit assistant director, Terry Madden, sustained serious injuries to his leg.

Daniel Craig was spotted all around Rome, looking sleek and stylish in the Aston Martin DB10. On one occasion he was decked out in a luxurious three piece suit and matching black driving-gloves. On Thursday, he and Monica Bellucci (the stunning new Bond girl), were seen shooting a funeral scene. Which character is done for is still a mystery. Craig looked classy in the crisp white shirt with matching black tie and trousers. The rest of the ensemble really made him look the part: leather gloves, sunglasses, and a full-length black coat. Bellucci looked just as posh in her pencil skirt, little black jacket, and luxe suede knee-high boots. The small hat perched on her head really completed the outfit. She wore her hair in a tight bun, while a veil seductively concealed part of her face.

Future hot spots for shooting include London, Mexico City, Tangier and Erfoud in Morocco, and a few gorgeous locations in Austria. Spectre will be opening in theaters everywhere early November of this year. Daily Mail reports on the story, and has over 50 pictures here. Check out the official James Bond website for all the news and updates on their latest projects, including Spectre. You can also see the new lines of luxury at Jaguar or Aston Martin at their sites.
