FAMILY HEIRLOOM Jacqueline Hermès was an energetic nineyear-old in 1912 when she was given a gift by her father of an unusual pocket watch that had a leather holder designed to keep it on her wrist. In 2012, 100 years later, the watch was reinvented under the name In the Pocket. Hermès has now issued a second piece in the series, a rose gold watch with a 50-hour power reserve and an alligator leather exterior. The Save money by shopping tax free, see page 52

rose gold case of the new In the Pocket watch has a silver dial. The handcrafted strap is sewn in the Hermès leather-making studio in Switzerland and is composed of three layers of leather expertly polished with beeswax. The 178-piece limited-edition creation is also designed to be worn as a stylish pocket watch. fk Hermès In the Pocket watch, €28,700, Hermès, Bahnhofstrasse 28A, 8001 Zürich, +41 (0)44 211 4177, hermes.com * for map go to page 42

TERRIFIC TIFFANY In May 2015 Tifany & Co opened its third boutique in Switzerland. Located on rue du Rhône in Geneva’s premier shopping district, the store showcases the brand’s latest jewellery and watch collections and extends across 5,900 square feet. Geneva played a major role in Tifany’s watchmaking history: in 1868, the company opened a branch in the city and later established a watch factory here. Fittingly, Save money by shopping tax free, see page 52

the inauguration of the new store coincided with the launch of a new watch collection for the legendary house. Visitors to the elegant new shop will be able to explore the Tifany treasures in a sophisticated and spacious environment that refects the brand’s values as a purveyor of luxury goods. th Tifany & Co, 21 rue du Rhône, 1204 Geneva, +41 (0)22 761 5550, tifany.com * for map go to page 46

ECLECTIC CHIC If there’s one certainty with Miuccia Prada, it is that there are no certainties. Her autumn/ winter 2015/16 collection for Miu Miu is a glorious mishmash of colours, patterns, and even eras. Outfts are an exercise in contrasts, with thick houndstooth coats teamed with patent crocodile leather miniskirts. The efect is a joyous assault on the senses. Oversized buttons are a key motif that unites sometimes disparate looks. This oversized theme was also apparent in the costume jewellery worn by the models who showed the collection. The only area where Prada doesn’t play with proportions is accessories; bags and shoes have a distinctly 1950s feel, albeit with a cartoon-like Miu Miu makeover. th Miu Miu, Storchengasse 16, 8001 Zürich, +41 (0)44 212 8318, miumiu.com * for map go to page 42

This season’s Ermenegildo Zegna menswear collection is a masterclass in luxury fabrics. The Italian fashion house, founded over a century ago as a luxury wool mill that produced some of the highest-quality textiles in the world, has gone back to its roots with pieces crafted from the fnest wools and cashmeres. A palette of dusky pastels, earthy khaki greens and rusty browns dominates an otherwise monochrome collection. Highlights include cashmere polo-neck sweaters matched with exquisitely tailored velvet sports coats, while an impressive array of tweed caps is echoed in a tweed printed raincoat. This collection, which matches luxury fabrics with practical necessity, makes it easy to see why Ermenegildo Zegna is a go-to label for luxury modern menswear. rp Ermenegildo Zegna, Via Serlas 30, 7500 St Moritz, +41 (0)81 833 5146, zegna.com * for map go to page 50 Save money by shopping tax free, see page 52

WRAP UP WARM For luxurious outerwear with a fashion edge, look no further than Moncler’s latest womenswear collection. From cocoon coats to capes to bomber jackets, Moncler ofers a shape to suit every taste and fgure, but it is the textures and detailing that take centre stage here. A subtle colour palette highlights the softness of fne wool or the volume of jacquard on otherwise classic coats. Deep black is chosen as the base for bold winter forals on sporty bomber jackets. Structured shapes exaggerate the contrasts of luxurious fabrics, with jacquard pieces edged in fur proving a real highlight. For evening, look out for the soft wool cape with foral beading: the perfect piece to wear over a cocktail dress. hl Moncler, 57 rue du Rhône, 1204 Geneva, +41 (0)22 310 6933, moncler.com * for map go to page 46

TIMELESS TAILORING With its Tailored collection, American lifestyle label Tommy Hilfger has cornered the market for high-quality, fuss-free and timeless tailoring. Using excellent fabrics and precise cuts, the collection is beautifully made and designed with fashion in mind, ofering a range of classic pieces from sharp blazers to suit trousers. The Tailored collection is sure to please any gentleman who likes to look sharp. This season, look out for a range of subtle checks and tartans which will give your formal wardrobe a lift. Two- and three-piece suits are among the collection’s highlights and the range as a whole is designed to be harmonious, making it easy to stay on-trend by mixing and matching pieces in similar shades. mkh Tommy Hilfger, Sihlcity, Kalanderplatz 1, 8045 Zürich, +41 (0)44 403 3700, tommy.com globalblue.com

SAY IT WITH DIAMONDS Inspired by the style of the 1920s, Bucherer presents its latest collection of fne jewellery, Vive Elle. The art deco-infuenced range comprises around 20 pieces, including earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings. Featuring exquisite materials such as white gold, platinum and diamonds, the collection fuses Bucherer’s heritage of excellence in craftsmanship with the zest for life that characterised the Roaring Twenties. This ring’s distinctively solid look is based around a stylised fgure of eight, which evokes ideas of infnity as well as referencing 1888, the year Bucherer was founded. While the ring is almost masculine in its design, delicate rows of diamonds add a feminine fnishing touch. hl Bucherer, Schwanenplatz 5, 6002 Lucerne, +41 (0)41 369 7700, bucherer.com

SPECIAL EFFECTS The latest womenswear collection from Swiss brand Bally is bold and colourful and takes inspiration from the flms of director Wes Anderson as well as the style of the 1960s. Anderson is known for his idiosyncratic aesthetic and his largerthan-life characters, and the collection is a nod to his unique leading ladies. The pieces have a carefully considered design yet are made to be worn with nonchalance. Contrasting colours and textures abound on A-line silhouettes, bringing retro references bang up to date. Combined with Bally’s classic accessories, including the timeless Corner bag, this is one of the strongest collections of the season. hl Bally, 47 rue du Rhône, 1204 Geneva, +41 (0)22 310 2287, bally.com * for map go to page 46

PERFECT PENMANSHIP

HIP TO BE SQUARE Concept brand 290 Square Meters has opened a new store in Zürich, building on the success of its boutiques in Amsterdam and Istanbul. Called 90 Square Meters because it covers that amount of space, the Zürich store has the same style and attitude as the other branches, with the same core motto, ‘make the best use of the space available’. This it certainly does, presenting quality, well-crafted products in a unique environment. The store is beautifully designed and has a chic, industrial look which cleverly gives it a greater sense of size. Its careful selection of premium brands includes Levi’s, Converse and Crafted. fm 90 Square Meters, Badenerstrasse 175, 8003 Zürich, +41 (0)44 548 0633, 290sqm.com globalblue.com

The launch of the Montblanc M pen, designed by Marc Newson, ushers in a new era of design excellence for the maison. This is the Montblanc’s frst ever design partnership and Newson’s trademark style, inspired by organic forms, has translated beautifully into this magnifcent writing instrument. As ever, functionality is at the heart of the product. This has been creatively expressed in the use of a magnet to close the cap and an additional snap mechanism to hold it in place. The platinum-plated clip is mounted invisibly into the cap so it does not disrupt the fuidity of the overall design. Newson has stayed true to the Montblanc aesthetic with his choice of the company’s black ‘precious resin’ as the main body material. th Montblanc, Bahnhofstrasse 25, 8001 Zürich, +41 (0)44 211 4810, montblanc.com * for map go to page 42

THE WRITE PLACE Swiss ingenuity and technology is by no means limited to watches and clocks: the country is home to impressive pioneers of pens and writing implements, says Josh Sims

32 | F E AT U R E S

witzerland is an understated innovator in the world of pens. Many people may regard Germany as creating some of the world’s best writing instruments; after all, the country is home to the likes of Pelikan, Montblanc, Faber Castell and Bossert & Erhard. But over its southern border is a very diferent kind of pen industry focused on a diferent kind of writing instrument. There, to employ national stereotype, German engineering comes up against Swiss design, and there lesser-known makers such as Wagner produce writing goods that are both more accessibly priced and less traditional.

Take the manufacturer Prodir. The company gently mocks its own Swissness: a recent Prodir blog notes that as well as being the birthplace of Le Corbusier, the nation is home to the Alpine horn, nude hiking, a variety of wrestling known as Schwingen and 700,000 cows. Yet the blog also states that Prodir’s mission is the provision of ‘good design, good and replaceable reflls and a good price’, and that the company follows a design principle of less-is-more and a motto of ‘reduce to the max’. All of which is refected in Prodir’s new DS9 pen. This comes with a mix of surface detailing (a matt or frosted casing with a polished or transparent clip and push button), a variety of unusual colours (cement grey, denim blue and sunset orange among them) and, importantly, Prodir’s foating ball nib system. Impressively, the pen embodies subtle changes in shape, with its rounded tip evolving gradually into the oval shape of the push button. Prodir’s designers have thought carefully about the detailing, and the brand’s website notes that ‘the intentionally classic design is slightly ironically broken up by the asymmetrical connection between clip and cap’. Who knew a pen could be ironic? The important point, however, is that it’s a lot of pen for not a lot of money. This is Swiss democratic design at its best.

What could be more elegant and simple than the pencil? Anyone harbouring notions that, in the touchscreen age, such a humble product has had its day should think again 57

Christoph Schnug, designer for Prodir, explains that it’s all about ‘surprising compositions that remain recognisable. A disruptive element is often a detail that makes a design efective. It’s a feature that attracts the eye momentarily.’ He adds that when someone picks up the pen, ‘I hope that he or she thinks “I know this from somewhere. I have seen this before, haven’t I?” If this is the case, the product has a soul. Beautiful things don’t cry out for attention.’ Indeed what could be more elegant and simple than the pencil? If there are notions that, in the touchscreen age, such a humble product has had its day, think again. According to Carole Hubscher, managing director of the 100-year-old family business Caran d’Ache, sales of pencils, both coloured and plain, are on the up. The company creates all of its Above (clockwise from botom lef): Caran d’Ache managing director Carole Hubscher; Wagner Swiss Jewel aromatherapy pens; Caran d’Ache Goliath cartridge and two of the brand’s Swiss Wood pencils; the Prodir DS9 pen in concrete; a Caran d’Ache crafsman at work

S H O P | 35

Caran d’Ache has a worldwide reputation for applying Swiss precision to the making of the pencil – its products were favoured by Picasso and Miró products at a single site, just outside Geneva, and it makes pens to rival those of Prodir: its Goliath cartridge, for example, has 8km of writing capacity. Yet Caran d’Ache also has a worldwide reputation for turning that Swiss precision to the making of the pencil, the most basic of writing tools. Perhaps this is why artists such as Picasso and Miró favoured these products. ‘There’s still a big place for the pencil,’ says Hubscher. ‘With a pencil you’re creating by hand, facilitating that direct link between brain and paper, and I think there’s something very special in that. Besides, tablets and smart phones are relatively new; pencils have been a wellestablished technology for a long, long time.’ It’s a technology that requires specialist materials: Californian cedarwood, for example, which not only sharpens without splintering but smells good, too. Caran d’Ache has also played with the idea of aromas through the

introduction of a pencil made of dark Swiss wood that has a distinctive, smoky smell. Its specialist processes, such as the formula of the waxy oil in which the clay and pigment core of a pencil is soaked in order to allow it to actually mark paper, are industrial secrets. ‘Every child knows what a good pencil is. You get to feel it. It’s the kind of thing you often learn through bad experience,’ says Hubscher. ‘In many ways making pencils is like cooking: you can’t make good food with mediocre ingredients.’ The oil formula in the brand’s pencil making, she continues ‘is a know-how that has developed over decades ‒ what goes into it, how long each type of lead should be in it, how often the oil needs changing. As with many understated Swiss products, it’s the result of the kind of knowledge and attention that comes through making things for a long time.’ wagnerswitzerland.com, prodir.com, carandache.com

TABLE TALK Hotel restaurants in Switzerland are enjoying a great surge in popularity thanks to their innovative menus and much applauded chefs, as Theresa Harold discovers

There was a time when the prospect of eating in a hotel restaurant conjured images of uninspired salads and overpriced steaks. With a few notable exceptions, they were places where seasoned travellers opted to dine out of necessity rather than choice. But in recent years, there has been a quiet revolution in the hospitality industry. Switzerland is a prime example of this new development, with hotels waking up to the creative and exciting opportunities they have in their own kitchens and dining rooms. Talented chefs are taking the lead, experimenting with fusion cuisine and reinventing classic dishes for contemporary tastes. So, whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in ZĂźrich, Geneva or St Moritz, check out these in-house dining options for an experience thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sure to be remembered long after you check out. globalblue.com

Acclaimed French chef Michel Roth presides over Hotel President Wilson’s elegant Bayview restaurant. The Michelin-starred chef brings his signature classic yet contemporary style of cuisine to Geneva, serving seasonal food alongside traditional dishes that are transformed by his skilled touch and surprising twists. The chef explains that he likes diners to feel ‘as though they have been invited to dinner at a friend’s house’. His menu, though, is quite beyond such expectations. Starters range from foie gras with fgs to warm blue lobster with young leeks, soya gribiche sauce and claw barbajuans (pastries with spinach, chard and crab claw). Main course options might include succulent beef fllet with chickweed, chard, fondant potatoes and burnt onion cream. The desserts are irresistible; try the millefeuille with chocolate, praline and sea salt caramel sauce.

TRANSLATIONS РУССКИЙ ПЕРЕВОД 30: The Write Place

Написанному верить Джош Симс рассказывает о швейцарских компаниях, которые специализируются на письменных принадлежностях и доказывают, что любовь к технологиям и изобретательности в этой стране распространяется не только на часы В сфере письменных принадлежностей достижения Швейцарии часто остаются недооцененным. Принято считать, что лучшие в мире ручки производятся в Германии: в конце концов, именно там появились и работают Pelikan, Montblanc, Faber Castell, Bossert & Erhard и другие компании. Но чуть южнее процветает совсем другой вид этой индустрии, в центре внимания которой — иной подход к письменным приборам. Пользуясь национальными стереотипами, немецкая инженерия противопоставлена швейцарскому дизайну, и в Швейцарии менее прославленные производители (как, например, Wagner) выпускают ручки — не такие традиционные и более доступные по цене. Характерный пример — компания Prodir, для которой собственная принадлежность к Швейцарии может быть поводом для изящного юмора. Так, в недавней рассылке остроумно отмечалось, что эта страна стала родиной не только Ле Корбюзье, но и альпийского горна, нудистского хайкинга, единоборства швинген и 700000 коров. Кроме того, в этом бюллетене говорится, что миссия Prodir — обеспечивать «хороший дизайн, хорошие заменяемые стержни и хорошую цену». Компания следует дизайнерскому принципу «меньше значит больше» и девизу «уменьшить до максимума». Все это в полной мере проявилось в новинке — ручке DS9. В ее дизайне соединяются различные виды отделок (матовый или с покрытием фрост корпус, globalblue.com

полированные или прозрачные зажим и кнопка) и необычные цвета (например, цементный серый, джинсовый и закатный оранжевый). И что самое важное, ручка оснащена фирменным стержнем Floating Ball. Округлость наконечника переходит в овал кнопки, и эти обтекаемые формы завораживают. Дизайнеры Prodir тщательно продумали каждую деталь. Как говорится на сайте компании, «асимметричное соединение зажима и корпуса добавляет легкой иронии подчеркнуто классическому дизайну». Кто бы мог подумать, что ручка может быть ироничной! Нельзя не отметить, что DS9 подразумевает качественный продукт по доступной цене. Таков швейцарский демократичный дизайн в лучшем своем проявлении. Дизайнер Prodir Кристоф Шнуг считает, что подобные «необычные сочетания становятся узнаваемыми»: «Неожиданный элемент зачастую делает дизайн эффектным, мгновенно привлекая внимание. Я надеюсь, что когда кто-то берет эту ручку, он или она думает: «Я откуда-то ее уже знаю. Мне уже наверняка приходилось ей пользоваться». Если так происходит, значит, у продукта есть душа. Красивые вещи не должны быть слишком нарочитыми, чтобы притягивать взгляды». Вряд ли можно вообразить нечто более простое и элегантное, чем карандаш. Может показаться, что в эпоху сенсорных экранов столь скромная вещь больше не актуальна, но это не так. Кароль Хюбшер, управляющий директор семейного предприятия Caran d’Ache со 100-летней историей, отмечает: продажи карандашей, и простых, и цветных, сейчас на подъеме. Все производственные мощности Caran d’Ache сконцентрированы в одном месте неподалеку от Женевы, а продукция может составить достойную конкуренцию Prodir. Например, сменный стержень для ручек Goliath позволит написать непрерывную строку длиной около 8 км. Однако понастоящему мировую славу компании Caran d’Ache принесли карандаши: к производству

этих базовых инструментов для письма она подходит со знаменитой швейцарской точностью. Возможно, поэтому Пикассо и Миро так любили эту марку. «Карандаш не исчез из нашей жизни, размышляет Хюбшер. - С ним вы творите руками, активируя прямую связь между мозгом и бумагой. И я думаю, что в этом есть нечто особенное. Кроме того, планшеты и смартфоны — сравнительно новое явление, а карандаши остаются авторитетной технологией на протяжении многих, многих лет». И эта технология требует специальных материалов: например, калифорнийский кедр не раскалывается при заточке и приятно пахнет. Caran d’Ache прорабатывает идею естественных ароматов, выпуская карандаши из темного швейцарского дерева с необычным запахом дыма. Технологических нюансов множество: например, глина и специальный пигмент вымачиваются в специальном масле, чтобы карандаш оставлял след на бумаге. Формула этого масла и другие профессиональные процессы остаются производственной тайной. «Даже ребенок знает, что такое хороший карандаш. Это просто нужно прочувствовать.

Есть вещи, познать которые можно только через негативный опыт, - говорит Хюбшер. - Производство карандашей похоже на кулинарию: невозможно готовить прекрасное блюдо из посредственных ингредиентов». По ее словам, формула масла для этого бренда вырабатывалась десятилетиями: «Это наше ноу-хау: перечень компонентов, время погружения различных видов графита в состав, замена масла. Как это часто бывает в Швейцарии, качественный результат получается благодаря знаниям и наблюдениям, полученным в результате многолетнего опыта».

30: The Write Place 笔的国度

瑞士人的独到匠心与精湛工艺绝不只限于腕表与时钟，他们打造的钢笔与书写工具同样创意卓绝，令人赞叹。Josh Sims报道在钢笔的世界里，瑞士是低调的革新者。或许不少人把德国视为全球书写工具制造之典范，毕竟百利金（Pelikan）、万宝龙（Montblanc）、辉柏嘉（Faber Castell）和Bossert & Erhard等著名品牌均发源于此。但是，德国以南的制笔业却呈现出一番截然不同的面貌，出产的书写工具也大相径庭。若是套用人们对德瑞两国的刻板印象，这就是德国工艺与瑞士设计的比拼。在瑞士有不少像Wagner这样名不见经传的制造商，其产品既不因循守旧，价格也算实惠。就拿普罗迪（Prodir）来说吧。对于自身的瑞士标识，该品牌表现得颇有些诙谐玩味。品牌的最新一则通告中提到，瑞士不只是建筑师勒•柯布西耶（Le Corbusier）的出生地，还孕育了阿尔

卑斯长号、裸体登山、自成一体的瑞士摔跤术（Schwingen）以及七十万头奶牛。这则通告还声明，普罗迪的宗旨便是提供“精美的设计、耐用的可替换笔芯与实惠的价格” ，并奉行简洁为美的设计原则与“简约至极”的金科玉律。这些理念在普罗迪新款DS9钢笔中展露无遗。这款钢笔以外部细节设计的混搭（亚光外壳或磨砂外壳，带有抛光或透明笔夹和按钮）与生僻颜色的运用（水泥灰、牛仔蓝与日落橙）令人眼前一亮，更重要的是，它采用了普罗迪独家浮球笔尖系统。普罗迪的钢笔体现了笔身外形的细微变化，令人赞叹：笔尖本是圆形的，随着流线旋转至笔夹上的按钮，外形却渐渐变成了椭圆。普罗迪的设计师在细节方面经过了深思熟虑，品牌网站也表示“笔夹和笔帽之间非对称的连接部位略带讽刺意味地打破了原本刻意凸显经典风格的设计。”谁能想到一支钢笔还能表达讽刺意味呢？然而，重点在于这些钢笔款式众多，价格非常实惠。瑞士的大众化设计在这里体现得淋漓尽致。普罗迪的设计师Christoph Schnug解释道，他们想做出“出人意料且具有辨识度的感觉。一个具有突破性的元素往往能够成为画龙点睛之笔。这是一个能够立刻抓住顾客眼球的特色。”他补充说，当一个人拿起钢笔， “我希望他或她想到， ‘我知道这笔是哪儿生产的。我以前看到过的，不是吗？’这样一来，产品便有了灵魂。美好的东西不需通过叫卖来吸引注意。” 说起来，还有什么比铅笔更加优雅而简单呢？在这个触摸屏的时代，要是您认为像铅笔这样简陋的产品已经风光不再，那您就得好好想想了。Caran d’Ache是一家拥有百年历史的家族企业，据该品牌总经理Carole Hubscher 表示，铅笔的销量——不论是彩色的还是素色的——一直在节节攀升。Caran d’Ache的所有产品都产自日内瓦城外的同一处工厂，而其生产的钢笔亦能与普罗迪相媲美：就拿Goliath 笔芯来说吧，它的墨水容量极大，书写距离长达 8公里。然而，Caran d’Ache之所以能名扬四海，更是因为它把瑞士工艺的精微细致用到了最基本的书写工具——铅笔的制作上来。或许这就是毕加索和胡安·米罗等名流都钟爱Caran d’Ache产品的原因所在吧。 “铅笔的市场还有很大的拓展空间， ”Hubscher说道。 “你能用铅笔来进行徒手创作，从而在你的头脑和画纸之间形成了一道直接的关联，我觉得这一点有着非同寻常的意义。另外，平板电脑和智能手机都是相对较新的产品；反观铅笔行业已经发展了很久很久，有了一
