One unique garage he’s done here of late was originally a dairy and chicken barn that was being used as a garage.

Nolan is a vertically integrated company and they manufacture their own face shields in the factory. The Lexan beads are shown on the left.

The Electric Power-Assisted Steering (EPAS) system equipped on the Velar has been developed for exceptional driver feedback, precision and feel. Optimized friction and inertia compensation algorithms ensure completely intuitive steering responses, and an active return system promotes a natural self-centering effect as the steering returns to the straight-ahead position. The variable-ratio system also ensures that the driver benefits from greater responsiveness the more they turn the wheel.

The drop test described in Section 516.6 of the US MIL-STD-810G mandates an item to be dropped from four feet (the height a portable item is usually held while being carried or in use) onto every possible surface or edge or corner, for a total of 26 drops. The item does not have to be turned on, it simply must still work after each drop. And if it doesn’t, the standard allows up to five items. As long as one makes it through the tests, it’s a pass. That made no sense to Xplore. After all, out there in the field users won’t have four spares. And the device may well be on when it falls. And there are tall folks, so a device may drop from higher than four feet.

I asked Jeff Williams, the senior vice-president, if the Apple Watch seemed more purely Ive’s than previous company products. After a silence of twenty-five seconds, during which Apple made fifty thousand dollars in profit, he said, “Yes.”

That morning, Ive told me that, before Jobs replaced Amelio, the studio’s work on an iMac-like device “was of no interest to the company.” The comment was surprising: Ive tends to be strenuously courteous toward his employers. (In a 1997 book, he was quoted saying, “Gilbert Amelio gives more support to industrial design than any C.E.O. in Apple’s history.” He also said, “For a designer, there couldn’t be a more exciting place to work at this moment than Apple.”) His public persona is not merely evidence of corporate fealty; he has a serious man’s resistance to perceived trivia, and a genuine discomfort with self-exposure. Yet the effect is the same: in Ive’s view, his personal story is barely worth telling. This habit of rhetorical modesty has lately been complicated by an immodest business truth: more than ever, Ive is the company.

At my first meeting with Ive, a few weeks earlier, he had worn a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch that he and an old friend, Marc Newson, the Australian-born designer, had customized for an auction benefitting Project Red, the charitable organization co-founded by Bono; they made three watches and kept one each; the third sold for three hundred and sixty thousand dollars. But now, in the courtyard of multimillionaires, Ive had a bare wrist, and it would remain so for a few more hours. He spoke of soon arriving at “this rarest of times—when we’re done, and we get to talk about it.” He added, “It’s pretty strange. Where we’re standing, right now, we haven’t talked about it, and we can stand here in a couple of hours, and millions and millions of people will know.” He went on, “You go from something that you feel very protective of, and you feel great ownership of, and suddenly it’s not yours anymore, and it’s everybody else’s. And it’s a very—I think the word ‘traumatic’ is probably overstated, but it’s a really significant point in time.” He smiled. “These are very poignant points in time. It’s so digital. It’s so binary.”

Arte Povera isn’t the only ghost of midcentury modernism inhabiting the project — there’s the twee cafe, with its Formica furniture and veneered wood paneling; the new tower restaurant, with its furniture bought at auction from New York’s Four Seasons; the cinema, with chairs imported from ’70s-era Milanese movie houses; and the sun-baked, deeply shadowed squares, conjuring up de Chirico.

The Fusion is the only case I remember in Ringke’s product line, as I owned one for the Nexus 5. I remember thinking about how similar it was to another case from Spigen, which I’d also bought. Several years later, I own a Ringke Fusion for my Google phone once again, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite cases. Allow me to explain.
