Hope you're not afraid of heights!

Nice little Bluthner in there too.

Nah, the windows won’t open.
I need fresh air, man, open window is a must.
Also seems like a long walk to get to a car.
Pass!

A couple of niggles--why didn't they film this on a day with clear skies?

How can anyone design a living space at this price point and not include a garden--or at the very least, a greenhouse?

Someone posted the listing at PW because of that piano. Not what I would choose for myself (the piano or the home!) but super cool to look at.

No fresh air. No terrace. Very cold decor. Hated the dining room and kitchen.

Interesting that even at that price point the designer thought it necessary to plaster the place with HMLV brand names.

One of those pencil towers, as we call them, tall and narrow. Some oligarch will like it.

They are designed with unoccupied floors called voids. It’s a scheme that allows them to build taller than otherwise would be permitted.

I couldn’t get past the ridiculous jacket that guy is wearing. The fake drama and the music were just too much. I had to turn it off.

I’m sure that jacket was expensive. If you don’t believe it just ask him.

I'm holding out for Goyard.

BTW, HMLV owns Tiffany and Co. I look at their site once in a blue moon and they haven't done much exciting with it yet.

The number of brands HMLV owns is impressive, but now it’s all about mass merchandizing.

Bean counters all the way down.

How right you are. They've even managed to mess up Vacheron Constantin watches that had been made since 1955. I appreciate craftsmanship and think this is a shame.
