1. When you are away a lot travelling with work, you need a reliable way of waking you up. I bought this portable alarm clock from the Hermès shop in Harrods for my wife Bettina years ago, but appropriated it for myself. It is such good quality, plus is perfectly pocket-size and, being Hermès, wakes you up very politely.
2. You wouldn't recognise my briefcase as Louis Vuitton, but it's been used every day for 20 years so has been pretty good value. It happens to be the perfect size for my ancient MacBook!
3. I have three original Cassandre posters, one of them hand-signed: the Nord Express, Étoile de Nord and, probably the most famous, the Normandie. They are huge and just wonderful.

Don't judge a book by its cover
TO ASSUME the creation of Hervé Valliet is yet another Lotus Seven imitator would be utterly wrong. A quiet perfectionist and entrepreneur from the Isére region in the French Alps near Grenoble, he has owned numerous sports cars, such as Caterham, Wiesmann, TVR - even a Ronart W152.

The Magic of a Shadow
Even today, when prices for a good Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow have risen to a level vaguely commensurate with their stunning quality, these are still hugely undervalued cars - victims of their own success, because lots of them are still around.
