KATIE HOLMES IS THE ULTIMATE QUADRUPLE THREAT — WRITER, PRODUCER, DIRECTOR, AND STAR — OF NEW FILM RARE OBJECTS . NOW, IT’S TIME TO WATCH HER FLY.

BY LAURA SCHREFFLER PHOTOGRAPHY VICTOR DEMARCHELIER

intsugi,” also known as “kintsukuroi,” is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery, transforming shattered pieces into something diferent and exceptional by mending those fractures together with something rare, like gold. It is also a philosophy: the notion that, instead of being considered damage, these faws are simply part of the object’s history and that those very faws are what makes it truly beautiful.

This concept also happens to be the underlying theme of Katie Holmes’ upcoming IFC flm and third full-length flm directorial efort, Rare Objects, an adaptation/interpretation of Kathleen Tessaro’s bestselling 2016 novel of the same name. “I feel like the metaphor here is that you’re better for having been broken, and that you’re more beautiful when put back together again,” Holmes explains as we sit down to chat at the Baccarat Hotel in early March.

With this in mind, Rare Objects becomes more than a mere movie. It is an exploration of resilience — an inside look at the restorative power behind female friendships and an ode to empowerment all wrapped into one — where, through each other, women fnd the internal strength to go on. It reveals that, like that very glue made of gold dust, we are capable of putting our shattered pieces back together again in beautiful and, yes, rare and ways, with the knowledge that it’s okay to show our scars.

It’s certainly a lovely sentiment, with an equally fantastic result, one that Holmes has been diligently working to create since securing the flm rights fve years ago. She’s worn every hat imaginable during the process star, co-writer, co-producer, director — to get the fnal product right, cherry-picking both the cast and crew to make her vision come to life.

In Rare Objects, she tells the story of Benita (played by American Rust’s Julia Mayorga), whose life of promise has been efectively snufed out after a sexual trauma leaves her in pieces. It is only when she fnds a job working in an antiquities shop of “rare objects” that, through her interactions with its quirky, charming staf and customers (played by Derek Luke, Alan Cumming, and David Alexander Flinn), her healing truly begins.

Holmes clearly put her heart and soul into the project and shows the same passion when discussing it. This was a story that she knew she had to tell, but with that knowledge came a real responsibility to get it right which is why, ultimately, she chose to oversee every aspect herself. “I had a lot of passion for bringing this story to the screen, and I wanted to do it all,” she admits, adding, “I like fnding stories and creating the atmosphere of creativity and getting to work with people I love.”

Her all-star crew included mainly friends and former colleagues, including Oscar-winning cinematographer Lisa Rinzler of Buena Vista Social Club fame; production designer Michael Fitzgerald; casting agent Avy Kaufman, who not only gave Holmes her frst shot in the industry with 1997’s drama The Ice Storm but also cast her directorial debut, the 2016 family drama All We Had; and last, but certainly not least, best friend

and costume designer Brie Welch (who also, incidentally, happened to be the stylist on our cover shoot).

Of this curated dream team, Holmes says, “Personally, it was just amazing to play a role in bringing wonderful people together, letting them do their thing, and being able to learn from them. I mean, it takes a lot of time to be good at something. It takes many years of study, so you want the people who’ve done that and know how to bring it. Brie and Michael and Lisa, they helped so much obviously with creating beauty, and we wanted it to be beautiful and rich so you could leave with this wonderful experience even though you’re watching certain scenes that are horrible.”

And they are. For as elegant as the flm is as a whole, there is a stark realism in many shots that’s almost painful to watch. But it was Holmes’ intention to confront those hardships head-on cinematically and bring her truth to Tessaro’s words.

“It all had to be quite real, and quite rare,” she notes. And here, it strikes me how very rare, and brave, Holmes herself is for choosing this particular project: it’s a bold move to not only take on such a beloved book, but also to make such signifcant structural changes to it. The setting, formerly Depression-era Boston, is now modern-day New York, and its leading lady, Irish immigrant Maeve, has been replaced by Hispanic medical student Benita. That being said, the bones are still there: it is still the story of a young woman trying to reclaim her self-worth after surviving a tragedy and of how love — of herself and of her friends — put her back together again.

Holmes defends these changes to the ground (not that I’m asking her to, mind you); she says they were entirely intentional especially the modernization aspect. “The hardships of the Irish in the 1930s don’t exist to that degree in today’s world, so I felt like, if we were going to modernize it, we were going to need to change Benita’s origins, and then her name, in order to make her relatable,” she explains.

But the setting? Well, that one was less necessary — unless you’re Holmes, that is. She’s a New Yorker, after all, and in a way, Rare Objects is the ultimate love letter to her sprawling, imperfect, messy, gritty, glorious city.

“First of all, I never get tired of shooting here; it’s home. Plus, I really wanted to shoot in New York City because of the proximity of neighborhoods. We needed to be able to bring Benita and Diana [Holmes’ character] together in a way that felt as natural as possible. And you can believe that someone like Diana would go into that store. You can run into people from diferent walks of life all the time, just on the street in New York, so it felt like an important aspect of the story. And we set out to be as authentic as possible. We didn’t necessarily want to show landmarks, because that’s been done. We wanted to fnd places that really highlighted a New Yorker’s point of view, like Queens, because that was Benita’s neighborhood. The subways were very important to us, too, because that is [the] heartbeat of the city; it’s the artery — that’s how strangers connect.”

Or, you know, they might meet in a fctional mental facility, as Benita and Diana an eccentric, wealthy New Yorker who is defned by her fragile mental state and a co-dependent love for her brother do. While Holmes’ character arc doesn’t sound particularly relatable, she is absolutely one you hurt for and root for.

She felt the same. “I was passionate about playing Diana because I wanted to highlight the best of women that understood closeness and support that we have for one another. I loved seeing that these two characters found each other again, that they were there for each other. There was something very poetic about their friendship, and I think it does feel true to female friendship; it was so relatable,” she says.

Holmes would know; her own friendships served as some major inspiration for the closeness between Benita and Diana. Her tightknit crew of confdantes gave her endless, unfltered feedback on Rare Objects, watching copious cuts and lending their support.

“They’re a soundboard for me, and I’m one for them. I grew up with a lot of female friends; I went to an all-girls high school. So, very early on in life, this whole idea of women supporting women, that was innate, because that’s what we did. It was like, Oh, you didn’t fnish your work? I’ll write that for you! Will you listen to me read my paper at 4 a.m.? Sure!”

That feeling of camaraderie has continued throughout her life, thanks in part to the fellow moms she’s met while raising her nearly 17-year-old daughter, Suri, of whom she says, “She’s the greatest; my heart is her She’s defnitely my favorite thing about life.” As for the female closeness, Holmes also says, “I feel like also just being a mother, raising my daughter, the other moms that I’ve met especially when my daughter was little we will love each other forever because we cared for each other’s babies. You know what I mean? Like, frst, second, third grade, when they’re so little, you depend on each other. There’s so much that women go through and help each other with and just kind of understand. It’s a beautiful relationship that women have with each other.”

This is the crux of the story Holmes wanted to tell a tale that was authentic to women, authentic to friendship, and authentic to, you know, life. “Benita’s not fully healed by the end of the flm, but the fact that she goes back and she continues to try even though she’s gone through these diferent heartbreaks, I feel like that’s true to life and the timing of life. It’s the small steps that are important, not the big, grand steps. It’s those little shifts. And you believe that Benita’s going to have a good life. We don’t need to see the whole thing, we don’t need to see what’s next to know that she’s going to be okay.”

But redemption and salvation? Well, of course that should happen. I mean, who doesn’t want a happy ending?

Holmes puts it this way: “I love the idea that Benita, who starts of going through something really traumatic, ends up in this world of old and special objects because she’s very special. She’s not old, but she’s experienced and valuable, and she learns that along the way. It resonated with me; I felt like if we all looked at each other that way as rare objects maybe we would treat each other better. And if you just start to pay attention, maybe you can.”

She says this earnestly and a little innocently, but then, Holmes is an optimist. “I like to put hope out there if I can,” she admits. “I don’t want to sound silly, but I think it’s nice to do that, to just give people an enjoyable experience, and to feel okay at the end. Like, maybe [Benita’s] going to be okay, and maybe I can be okay, too. Because really, we’re not as diferent from each other as we might think.”

“I FEEL LIKE THE METAPHOR HERE IS THAT YOU’RE BETTER FOR HAVING BEEN BROKEN, AND THAT YOU’RE MORE BEAUTIFUL WHEN PUT BACK TOGETHER AGAIN.”

hen Katie Holmes arrives for our cover shoot at the endlessly elegant Baccarat Hotel, she does not look like the Katie Holmes I expected. Her hair is wet after a post-hot yoga shower; she is makeup-free, clothes loose. Instead of extravagant baubles, her jewelry du jour is a hooped nose ring. The only hint that she is more than a typical New Yorker is the lone paparazzo outside, whose fashbulbs cut a blinding swath through the morning drizzle.

Her voice is the same — girlish and happy — but she is far more open, more honest, and more relatable than I expected. I am not in the slightest surprised that she has such a close-knit network of friends. When you meet Katie Holmes, you want her to be your friend, too.

At the time of our interview, she is still starring in the of-Broadway play The Wanderers (which wrapped April 2) at the Roundabout Theatre Company. She is explaining her hesitancy at doing the play — not because she didn’t want to, but because it demands (and receives) such honesty from the audience. There are no do-overs, no edits. She wasn’t sure she was ready for this kind of exhausting, emotional exercise night after night.

“It’s interesting, because there are defnitely days where you’re like, I just don’t think I have anything in me tonight; I don’t know. I’m tired, I’m spent. But then you get there, and something clicks. It’s in those moments, when you feel like you’ve got nothing left to give, that’s when you learn. That’s when it’s like, Oh, that’s what it’s all about! I feel like that’s like life. As soon as you think, I’ve got this, it’s like, No, you’re just at a plateau. You’ve got to keep going because you’re about to really learn something important. ou ha e to f ht throu h it! It’s like those days when you don’t want to go to the gym: you tell yourself, I’m too tired today, I’m not doing it. But the fact that you make yourself go shows you something about yourself. You learn that you’re resilient.”

In this particular instance, she found that testing herself was the only way she could continue to grow, and so she learned not to fear the uncomfortable, but to face it. She did have a little help from her friends here though, namely Welch, who urged her to test her limits. “When I signed on to do the play, Brie told me that being on stage really changes a person. She said, ‘It’s really good for you, you should do it.’ And she was right, because it brought me confdence.”

When I ask her how, specifcally, she responds, “Because you have to face the audience every night. That’s when you have the ability to say,

Okay, here I go, this is me, I’m doing it. Hello, here I am! Especially because we live behind the screens so much, it’s been really good for me to just experience putting on a play and being open with the audience. It’s very intimate. You’re letting them in, and they’re letting you in.”

It takes a lot of courage to bare yourself to a diferent audience night after night, but I think we’ve already established that Holmes is braver than you think, and she isn’t afraid to ask anyone — including herself the hard questions, including the one that’s the crux of The Wanderers: “Can we ever be happy with what we have while we have it?”

“I mean, it has been really profound to do this play every single night because of these themes,” she admits, sharing, “I have a line in the play that says, She would fnd some way to endure this happiness,’ and I’m like, Maybe that’s part of living in the moment, really being able to say, ‘No.’ So I’m planning on taking all of this in as much as I can, and enjoying it, instead of thinking about all the other things that I need to be doing instead.”

There’s something incredibly freeing in revealing herself in this way, especially given how private she’s been for so long. (Understandably so, given that paparazzi are still, after all this time, trailing in her wake.) She is human, after all, and to err is part of life. She isn’t perfect, and the world shouldn’t expect her to be. “I feel like we are living in a world right now where perfection is really valued, but that’s not real. It doesn’t actually exist, and if you realize that it doesn’t actually exist, then you’re never actually disappointed,” she notes wisely, adding with a laugh, “I’ve never wanted to be perfect! I just wanted to be nice, do a good job, and have a full life — but I knew better than to fall for perfection.”

But doesn’t every little girl want that perfect life, that white picket fence, Prince Charming, and 2.5 kids? Not Holmes. “I think my curiosity about life and about things far outweighs a need for perfection,” she says.

Curiosity has led her to every role, and as she’s gotten older, it has informed her choices, leading to new, out-of-the-box challenges. Her career has been robust and comprehensive thus far and includes her infamous six-season leading arc on The WB’s Dawson’s Creek. Then, (in no particular order) there was Showtime’s Ray Donovan; the miniseries

The Kennedys and The Kennedys: After Camelot as First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy; blockbusters such as Batman Begins; and arthouse flms, including Ang Lee’s The Ice Storm and Peter Hedges’ Pieces of April.

“IT’S IN THOSE MOMENTS, WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU’VE GOT NOTHING LEFT TO GIVE, THAT’S WHEN YOU LEARN.”

She made her Broadway debut in the 2008 limited run of Arthur Miller’s All My Sons and returned to the Great White Way in 2012 to star in Dead Accounts. And in 2021, she launched her production company, Lafayette Pictures, where she has written, directed, produced, and starred in projects like 2022’s Alone Together. She is also currently writing a screenplay with Rare Objects co-star Alan Cumming for a vehicle in which they’ll star as brother and sister.

And because she’s tried and enjoyed everything, there’s no true need to choose just one medium at the moment. Because really, who says a girl can’t have it all? “I would like to continue directing movies, but I also want to continue stage work, because it changes you, in a way. It also helps me with my confdence, and it’s really a delight to perform with great actors every night. On flm sets, you’re kind of always rushing against your time. I also love directing. So ideally, I’d like to go on and of; do a flm, do a play. That would feel really nice.”

There’s never enough time in a day to get it all done, especially when you’re a working mom. But, at this exact moment in time, Holmes says that she wouldn’t want to be anywhere, anyone, or doing anything else.

She might be telling a half-truth, but I’m inclined to believe her (especially because she’s just fnished telling me that she has a terrible poker face; when she’s upset, she simply can’t hide it). She is both metaphorically — and literally — happy with where she is. Right now, right here, on this velvet couch, talking to me in this quiet hotel room, surrounded by facets of shimmering Baccarat crystal. “I am happy ” she declares. “I’m just sort of living life, living in the moment. It’s not hard to do that at the Baccarat Hotel though, looking out at MoMA.”

She’s smiling, peeking out the window, looking not quite like a kid on Christmas ... but close. And I can see the child she must have been, that same little girl she still seems to have living inside her. “My friend found her My Little Pony set recently, and I was like, Can we play with it now? I’m totally down for My Little Pony play for an hour. And I loved it! I mean, don’t most self-help books say that you should indulge your inner child?”

Too right. Like kintsugi, being unafraid to let your hair down and let your inner child out is also a metaphor for life — and if it isn’t, it should be. Holmes agrees. So, before she sets of for the subway (how’s that for a non-diva?), she wisely reminds me in that happy, girlish, Katie Holmes voice, “You’re never, ever too old to play.”

Let that be a lesson to us all.

FOR THE LOVE OF CAVIAR

Parisian haute spot Caviar Kaspia officially makes its New York debut at The Mark hotel.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE & STEPHANIE DIGUISEPPE

PARISIAN INSTITUTION CAVIAR KASPIA HAS MADE ITS HIGHLY ANTICIPATED debut in Manhattan with the o cial opening of its frst New York location at The Mark hotel — the pper ast Side’s most lavish accommodation. The new restaurant and caviar boutique, designed by celebrated interior designer Jacques range, shares the DNA of the famously chic French restaurant, a celebrity favorite since it frst opened in 1927.

In harmony with The Mark, Caviar Kaspia evokes Old World elegance with Parisian style, featuring the iconic Caviar Kaspia blue tablecloths, emerald green mohair banquettes, and wood-paneled walls, yet it is tailored to New York’s electric energy. “Opening Caviar Kaspia inside the iconic pper ast Side hotel is a milestone for [us],” reveals Ramon MacCrohon, the restaurant’s C O. “Considered the fashion cantine,’ Caviar Kaspia assumes its authentic attachment to the international sphere of fashion and creatives. It was, therefore, a natural evolution for us to open at The Mark hotel, with whom we share the same values, philosophy, and clientele — it’s a match made in luxury heaven.”

Caviar Kaspia celebrates the “art of caviar” by ofering an extensive menu that includes the house’s cult favorite, the twice-baked potato topped with caviar; blinis with smoked salmon; vegetarian caviar made from liquifed and spherized tru e; and pasta with caviar, among other signature dishes. lasses of champagne can be perfectly paired with eight diferent types of farm-raised caviar, spanning multiple regions around the world and expanding various taste profles. The landmark caviar boutique will ofer the delights and delicacies of Caviar Kaspia for the ultimate at-home indulgence or gourmet gift.

Occupying the luxurious corner of 77th Street and Madison Avenue, the arrival of Caviar Kaspia adds a new and distinctively exquisite experience to The Mark.

THE MOST ECO-FRIENDLY LUXURY HOTELS IN THE WORLD

IT IS EASY BEING GREEN … FOR THESE LUXURY HOTELS, THAT IS.

BY LAURA SCHREFFLER

POST RANCH INN

On the cli s of Big Sur, 1,200 feet above the Pacific Ocean, with rooms in the treetops and in the ground resembling (dare I say it?) the Shire, rests Post Ranch Inn. Each of the 40 architecturally innovative guest rooms and suites placed along the ridge that parallels the Pacific Ocean highlights natural and sustainable materials, with custom furniture, rugs hand-woven by indigenous weavers, and reclaimed wood re-milled to create rich wall panels. An extensive collection of original art blends seamlessly with the scenic beauty of the outdoors and that gaspworthy view of the Pacific Ocean. It’s a property that truly lives up to its hype as one of the world’s best hotels, and I don’t mind saying it because it’s just that good. I’m not just talking about its visual perfection. Here, you truly feel as if you’re a part of nature, not just an observer of it (especially when you step into your ocean-facing, grass-covered hobbit hole). Every environmental aspect was carefully considered in Post Ranch Inn’s execution: its earth-sheltered guesthouses capture passive heating and cooling, and the stilts that support the treehouse suites protect the roots of the ancient redwood and oak trees. Other green initiatives include using hybrid Lexus vehicles to transport guests around the property; pumping water on-site and bottling it in renewable glass bottles; native plant and drought-resistant landscaping; and using a 990-panel solar array, the largest hotel solar project in California and one of the largest in the U.S. In addition, the grounds provide a habitat for the endangered Smith’s blue butterfly, California red-legged frog, western pond turtle, and California condor. 47900 Highway 1, Big Sur, CA 93920

FOUR SEASONS SAFARI LODGE SERENGETI

An up close and personal view of the Big Five (lions, leopards, bu alo, elephants, and rhinoceroses) is a bucket list goal for many, and the Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti makes that pursuit not only possible but positively wonderful thanks to its commitments to the land, local community, and animals themselves. Due to its location, this particular Four Seasons property has no access to state-provided power supplies, water resources, or even a basic food supply, so all is self-provided — but it still manages to retain that five-star luxury ethos that guests have come to expect from the brand. But you’re not going here to sit by the pool all day — you’re going to experience majestic miracles, which, incidentally, is what this hotel manages to execute daily thanks to its preservation and conservation e orts. Case in point: the Four Seasons is the only lodge in the Serengeti that uses a full-scale sewage treatment plant, allowing sewage to be recycled into greywater. It is the only property to support the local community and wildlife conservation e orts through the Discovery Centre Fund, which allocates operations and guest funding to two safe houses for vulnerable women and girls in the region, a support program for local schoolchildren, and critical wildlife conservation projects. Responsible tourism, thy name is Four Seasons Serengeti. Four Seasons Road, 2002, Tanzania

AMBIENTE

It only opened this February, but Ambiente, America’s first landscape hotel, located in Sedona, Arizona, is already making an impact — sustainably and otherwise. Nature and the local topography are fully realized at this adults-only property, which sits on 3 acres of pristine, untouched, rugged landscape surrounded by the city’s most iconic red-rock monoliths. It’s a gorgeous, gasp-inducing property surrounded by natural vegetation, with rooms that appear to be floating thanks to their bronzed-glass design. (All 40 rooms, might I add, o er 180-degree views of the red rocks by day and crystal-clear views of the Dark Sky stars each night, so bright and visible that it feels like you can touch them. Each room, called an “atrium,” also has a Japanese soaking tub, on-demand wine dispensers of northern Arizona wines for guests, and private rooftop decks with lounge seating and fire pits.) The rooms were built specifically to maximize the view, and the landscape architecture follows suit innovatively, with a focus on the preservation of existing, heavily vegetated forest with minimal impact to the land — the plan being to save every native tree possible on the property during the building process. Additionally, there are a series of natural, dry washes that traditionally flow only after su cient rainfall runo , but the team here has found a way to reactivate this ancient waterway system in order to bring permanent flowing water and create an eco-balanced natural habitat using aquatic plants, fish, and the water’s movement to achieve a biological balance without the use of chemicals. The food and beverage selection follows suit, with Michelin-worthy fare from chef Lindsey Dale at Forty1, who works with local purveyors and practices composting, as well as an innovative cocktail program courtesy of mixologist Breann Anzar. Ambiente is also home to the area’s first and only Audi RS e-tron GT (it’s the house courtesy car, which definitely makes a splash as it silently maneuvers around the property) and a small fleet of e-trikes for use. And last, but certainly not least, locally sourced ingredients are employed at the transformative Velvet Spa, where health-focused programming such as yoga, sound-healing classes, guided stargazing sessions, and

Sedona’s Adobe Jack Trail systems is also o ered.

PIKAIA LODGE

When one thinks of the Galápagos Islands, giant sea turtles swimming in cerulean water come to mind. And at Pikaia Lodge, the protection of native creatures like the turtle is not just a priority, but a critical part of its very identity — especially because it is centrally located in the heart of its own private giant tortoise reserve on Santa Cruz Island, in the center of the Galápagos archipelago. (The Galápagos and the surrounding marine reserve are UNESCO World Heritage sites; the islands are one of the seven underwater wonders of the world, and the marine reserve is the second largest protected marine reserve, after the Australian Great Barrier Reef.) As such, the 29-room property has been designed and equipped according to the highest environmental specifications. Directed by leading Ecuadorian architect Humberto “Coro” Plaza, the towering, glass-walled lodge was built with the most sustainable of footprints in mind, using materials like agro-cultivated teak and bamboo wood from the Ecuadorian mainland (and not from tropical rainforest) for most furniture, doors, and decor to prevent deforestation and illegal logging, while solar water-heating collector panels were added for solar photovoltaic energy production. The lodge is also carbon neutral and powered with a mix of conventional and alternative energy sources that do not pollute or emit greenhouse gases. According to Kermit the Frog, it ain’t easy being green, but Pikaia makes it look e ortless — and its vast giant turtle community wholeheartedly agrees.

BORGO PIGNANO

Borgo Pignano, a Tuscan estate located within a nature reserve on a 750-acre certified organic farm that dates back to the 12th century, is the perfect place for those looking to reduce their environmental impact while lapping up luxury in the Tuscan hills amid olive groves and vineyards. The accommodation itself is split between an 18th-century noble house and beautifully restored rustic apartments and cottages, many rooms of which are adorned with original artisan frescoes, four-poster beds, and timeless Tuscan architectural features. But this is not a place that simply looks pretty; it’s pretty dang green, too. The villa, farmhouses, and apartments have all been restored and decorated using environmentally friendly products and materials, including local stone, reclaimed slate, organic plaster, and eco-paints. But in truth, most of Borgo Pignano’s greatness comes from within: most products used at the property are cultivated or produced on-site. The estate’s bee colonies, which help to pollinate vegetables and fruit trees, produce Millefiori flavored honey; wine and olive oil are made from grapes and olives grown in organic vineyards and groves; herbs and florals are grown on-site and used in dishes at the hotel and by the full-time herbalist to make organic soaps, perfumes, and scented oils in the herbal laboratory workshop;and heating and hot water are generated from boilers fired by woodchips harvested from the estate’s own forests. Last but certainly not least, Villa Pignano restaurant and its chef, Stefano Cavallini, were recently awarded a Michelin Green Star for sustainable gastronomy.

JEAN-MICHEL COUSTEAU RESORT

Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort is, like its namesake, powered by the ocean. This tropical retreat built on the site of a former coconut plantation is a luxurious 17-acre property that is modeled after a traditional Fijian village and features 25 beautifully appointed bures set on the shores of Savusavu Bay, with views of the coral reefs and the mountains beyond in a marine protected area — a true embodiment of the sultry South Pacific. The resort, just 40 minutes away from the world-class Namena reef, has access to the best dive sites in the world. But Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort isn’t just a pretty façade: this property has been setting the precedent in Fijian sustainability since it first opened. It’s an au naturel setting to be sure: there are no air conditioners or TVs, and several of the bures have solar panels installed on water heaters for extra energy e ciency. There is a process for filtering wastewater, which is moved to a lily pond, treated, then filtered and used to irrigate the grounds (in filters made from coconut husks!). There’s an organic garden for produce, and local fish are caught sustainably. Even the spa is eco-friendly, given that its beauty products use only natural ingredients such as coconut milk, brown sugar, and nuts. Additionally, the resort practices recycling and composting and uses low-energy lighting.

BARDESSONO

Talk about having it all: Napa Valley’s Bardessono is one of those magical properties that manages to be, well, perfect. Not only is it one of only 14 LEED Platinum-certified hotels in the United States, but it is also a luxury haven — fivestar to the nth degree. Somehow, it manages to please everyone. Bardessono was built on repurposed tufa stone quarried in Napa County 80 years ago for the original Bardessono family wine cellar, and salvaged trees were used for the wood throughout the property. Recycled steel, in the form of rusted steel panels, was also used on the building’s façade, designed to represent the colors found in wine, the surrounding vineyards, and the equipment used to care for those vineyards. But there’s more. An underground geothermal system consisting of 82,320-foot-deep wells heats and cools the guest rooms, spa, and domestic hot water supply, while 200 square feet of glass in each room reduces daytime lighting requirements. Motion sensors detect when guests are not present and automatically control in-room energy usage, and a 200-kilowatt solar energy system provides approximately half of Bardessono’s total electrical energy. The on-site eatery, Lucy Restaurant & Bar, o ers meals with produce selected daily from Bardessono’s California certified organic farming garden or with other locally sourced ingredients. All 62 rooms and suites, as well as three private luxury villas, o er amenities including 100 percent Egyptian cotton Fili D’oro linens, REN bath products, and motion-controlled exterior shuttering systems. The spa even uses all-organic beauty lines, leaving high-powered guests with the sense that they can truly relax … without having to feel guilty about it.

VILLA COPENHAGEN

Villa Copenhagen doesn’t automatically look like it would be one of the greenest hotels in the world, but let me tell you something — it is … and not just because it’s located in one of the world’s most sustainable cities. Set in Copenhagen’s century-old Central Post and Telegraph Head O ce, which dates back to 1912, adjacent to the famous Tivoli Gardens and Meatpacking District, this 390-room hotel o ers approachable luxury complemented by eco-sustainability through a variety of meaningful on-property practices and amenities, as well as a genuine connection to the city’s culture through its interior green spaces. Sustainability is everywhere here: in dining experiences where the focus is on locally grown produce and the reduction of meat; in the attention to food waste;in the hidden garden where bees pollinate and produce honey; and in the pool, which is heated by the excess heat from Villa Copenhagen’s cooling systems. It is in the team’s uniforms, courtesy of sustainable fashion brand sur le chemin, and in the o ering of sustainable rubber slippers from environmental innovator Indosole. And last but not least, it is in this charming hotel’s piece de resistance: the Earth suite. This partnership with forward-thinking design firm Earth Studio is a fully sustainable stay featuring only recycled materials and textiles, along with eco-friendly furniture, lighting, and accessories from Danish manufacturer Mater.

1 HOTEL BROOKLYN BRIDGE

The green and gorgeous 1 Hotel brand has grown leaps and bounds in recent years with the new additions of the Nashville and Cabo locations and incoming properties like London, Paris, Copenhagen, and Austin sprouting up worldwide, but its Brooklyn Bridge hotel is still the only LEED Gold-certified site, thus setting the gold standard for the brand. Here, nestled within the Brooklyn Bridge Park amid the hustle and bustle of New York City, is an eco-sanctuary, with a 25-foot (and growing) plant wall in the lobby and greenery inside every guest room and suite; furniture made from reclaimed beams; and copious artworks from local artists made from reclaimed materials. The space designed by Marvel Architects — works with nature, not against it. As such, the building’s trapezoidal shape maximizes natural light, as sunshades reduce heat buildup and minimize energy consumption. Twenty-five percent of the roof is dedicated to green space, which is filled with garden beds hosting trees and shrubs that absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Beyond that, in-room Inncom thermostats control airflow based on occupancy; sink faucets use a water filtration system; in-room cups are made from recycled wine bottles to discourage guests from going plastic; wooden room keys are both recyclable and reusable; and even the mattresses are nontoxic and eco-friendly. Even the beverage options are sustainable: 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge showcases liquor brands that prioritize environmental health, cocktail syrups that utilize food scraps, and a wine list that highlights 25 sustainable and notable variations. That its house car is the Audi e-tron is just the icing on the plant-based cake (with ingredients that are probably grown in the hotel’s rooftop garden, no doubt).

VERMEJO — TED TURNER RESERVES

Media magnate Ted Turner has taken a sustainable approach to hospitality with his Ted Turner Reserves properties, the most luxurious of which is Vermejo. This is an environmental getaway to be sure — rustic luxury at its finest — a certified LEED Silver property set among 550,000 snowcapped acres of alpine tundra, with 19 fishable lakes, 30 miles of streams, and 1,200 wild bison, as well as elk, black bears, and mountain lions. At its beating heart is Casa Grande, Turner’s own (formerly) private accommodations, a 25,000-square-foot mansion that blends Southwestern accents with 1900s grandeur, inclusive of a billiards room, chef’s kitchen, and conservatory. But as you will see, there’s a specific magic here that makes Vermejo unique, one that relies on Turner’s commitment to preserving and restoring native ecosystems in this New Mexico locale, including protecting and repopulating the American bison and Rio Grande cutthroat trout, prairie dogs, black-footed ferrets, and Santa Fe Trail mule deer, done locally via the Turner Endangered Species Fund as well as through the property’s natural resources and biodiversity specialists. Restoration of the land, including flora like the ponderosa pine and aspen trees, is important as well. Naturally, all work and no play does not make for a fun vacation, so Turner makes sure to pepper his projects and conservation tours with activities such as fishing, archery, cooking classes, geocaching, disc golf, horseback riding, mountain biking, and, of course, a spa.

How Sustainability Has Made Its Way into Plastic Surgery Offices

BY BROOKE KLAIMAN

HEALTH CARE SUSTAINABILITY HAS OFFICIALLY MADE ITS WAY into plastic surgeons’ o ces, and for good reason. In recent years, the world has faced growing challenges related to climate change and resource depletion. As key players in the health care industry, doctors have a critical role in promoting sustainability and reducing the environmental impact of health care delivery. As a professional on the front line, Haute Beauty expert Dr. Jefrey Lee speaks on the positive changes he has seen across the health care industry and highlights some of the most promising strategies he has used in his practice.

INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES

There has been a reduction in the utilization of single-use applicators in many technologies that are being introduced in the plastic surgery world, and surgeons have moved toward applicators that they can reuse — after a thorough sanitation protocol, of course. Devices like msculpt Neo, Diamond low, and the Deka Tetra Laser all have tips and applicators that doctors can use, sanitize, and then reuse on multiple patients. This dramatically cuts down on energy usage and waste, especially since these treatments are very popular.

SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVES TO TRADITIONAL TOOL USE

Plastic surgery has traditionally been associated with high levels of waste due to the single-use instruments and packaging used. Whenever possible, Dr. Lee reuses metal instruments that can be sterilized in a steam autoclave, a device that uses high-pressure steam to kill bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms that can cause infection.

“We have also made our practice smart’ by installing smart home-type devices in our practice,” Dr. Lee says. This has led to a dramatic decrease in wasted energy. enerally speaking, there are multiple ways that the medical feld can reduce waste, but one act of efort can make a huge diference, and Dr. Lee has wholeheartedly put his best foot forward.

OTHER WAYS TO INCORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY IN HEALTH CARE

There are a multitude of ways that sustainability can be incorporated in health care. But there is one hurdle and that is sanitation. In health care, you must consider hygiene and cross-contamination. “That being said, it is defnitely possible to still incorporate sustainability into one’s practice and it usually starts small,” says Dr. Lee. Selecting reusable items instead of disposable items, selecting recyclable disposable items rather than those that cannot be recycled, making sure that biohazardous waste is actually biohazardous and is disposed of properly, and not being wasteful with energy and water — these are just a few of the many examples that Dr. Lee highlights when focusing on health care sustainability.

CHANGING PROCEDURES AND PROCESSES

In surgery, much of sustainability results from improving outcomes because that is the most powerful method. For example, the “No Touch” technique for breast augmentation has dramatically decreased infection rates for breast patients. With fewer people getting breast implant infections, there are fewer patients driving to additional appointments, fewer patients going to pick up their antibiotic prescriptions, and ultimately, fewer patients requiring additional operations to remove their breast implants. This kind of advance in surgery makes the biggest impact on sustainability (and patient safety), and that is what health care has been focusing on more recently than not.

If you are a health care provider looking to improve sustainability in your practice, do your research, implement your ideas, and talk to others like Dr. Lee, who continues to put sustainability at the forefront of his practice.

Haute Beauty Experts’ For Their Field Goes Beyond The Results

BY BROOKE KLAIMAN

IN A FIELD THAT COMES WITH MANY REWARDS AND CHALLENGES, plastic surgeons have the opportunity to make a signifcant impact on their patients’ lives. Whether reconstructing crooked noses, sculpting bodies to meet goals, or repairing deformities caused by injuries or diseases, plastic surgeons have the rare chance to use their skills to make an impact on a person forever. Haute Beauty spoke with its experts on what they love most about their feld of medicine, and our hearts our melting. Here’s what they shared.

DR. FRANK LALEZAR | BREAST | NEW YORK, NY

I believe one of the most important ways to express love is self-love or love for oneself. Self-love comes from a place of confdence and appreciation for yourself, both inside and out. As a plastic surgeon, I see men and women every day who come into our o ce who are selfconscious about certain aspects of their bodies. With the procedures I do, I see a dramatic change not only in the physical appearance of my patients but also in their confdence. I see a brighter smile, a bigger laugh, and increased self-confdence that shows that they not only love their bodies, but they love themselves as well.

DR. YARITZA ARRIAGA O’NEILL | EMERGENCY MEDICINE | DAVENPORT, FL

As I brainstorm what the best present to oneself would be, I realized it wouldn’t be a glass of wine, champagne, chocolate strawberries, or just company; it would be self-love and self-care, especially with the crazy busy, fast-paced life I have been living these days.

While taking a look at the feld of medicine I am in, I can confdently say that I love both emergency and aesthetics as they allow me to fourish creatively. It also allows me to know my patients, guide them, and bring them a healthy glow. Whether I volumize lips or apply wrinkle-reduction toxins, it excites me to see my patients happy and confdent. It is amazing what a big smile and a rejuvenated face can do for a patient! That is what I love and wish to provide everyone ...

DR. SUSAN B. FOX | MEDICAL AESTHETICS | FORT LAUDERDALE, FL

There is so much I love about my job, but the one thing that stands out is being able to have such a positive impact on the lives of so many of our patients. I know this sounds cliché, but so many patients write us notes, send us cards, and come in so thankful that their legs look and

feel better. Many have had symptoms for years, and the procedures we provide relieve their discomfort and help their legs feel less achy and heavy; the injections can help improve their cosmetic appearance as well. I also love that we have expanded the practice to provide many cosmetic services that complement vein treatments.

DR. SAM RIZK | FACE | MANHATTAN, NY

The words “plastic surgery” [have] a way of conjuring the physical stuf — the desire to look better, the before-and-after photos, the vanity of it all. But that’s not why I got into this feld. For me, plastic surgery is all about confdence. It’s about restoring that mind-body connection so the refection patients see in the mirror matches the way they feel inside. And because much of my work as a double board-certifed facial plastic surgeon spotlights the face — rhinoplasties, neck-lifts, lip-lifts, deep plane face-lifts — my intention isn’t to completely alter the way someone looks but to enhance the unique features they already have. It’s very precise, hyperfocused work, and since the goal is always an unquestionably natural result, it’s imperative that I learn the subtle nuances of every patient. In that way, it’s less about surgery and more about sculpture— sculpture and confdence. What’s not to love?

DR. BRIAN K. MACHIDA | FACE | LOS ANGELES, CA

First, I love being able to help people achieve their goals and dreams. I love hearing my patients’ stories about how young they look. Second, the mental challenge to innovate is still present after 33 years. I’m still focused on fnding better nuances to improve my surgical results, and believe it or not, I’m still fnding ways to tweak my procedures when faced with unusual anatomy. For me, surgery is still exciting.

DR.

JEFFREY LISIECKI | NOSE | NEW YORK, NY

It’s hard to narrow it down to just one thing! I truly love doing surgery, solving challenging problems, striving for perfection, and pushing myself toward better and better outcomes. That being said, the thing that I love most about my feld is working with my patients, helping them achieve their goals, and seeing how happy they are with their results. There is nothing more satisfying than when a patient loves their result, and you can see how their joy and self-confdence afect their lives in so many diferent, positive ways. To me, this is the most rewarding part of being a plastic surgeon.

DR. ALTON INGRAM | BODY | NASHVILLE, TN

As a cosmetic surgeon, I have the privilege of helping my patients look and feel their best every day that I go to work! By focusing only on the surgical procedures that give the most dramatic results, I strive to make sure each operation is potentially life-changing for every patient. I take great pride in the work that my entire team does. We always put our patients frst and make it our mission every day to provide the safest, most efective procedures with the highest patient satisfaction rates.

From start to fnish, there’s nothing quite like watching people transform right before your eyes — it truly is what I love most about being a cosmetic surgeon It flls me with pride knowing that I can help my patients look and feel their absolute best — that’s why I do this job

DR. OLIVER CHANG | BRAZILIAN BUTT-LIFT | MIAMI, FL

Passionately, I think and believe what most doctors would agree on is the love of helping people. This can be done in many diferent ways in medicine, but as a surgeon, I am able to use my skill sets via my hands to create positive changes through surgery. For both cosmetic/aesthetic and reconstructive cases, the outcome is to always try to improve whatever the current problem is and make it better surgically. This can be for functional and/or aesthetic reasons from head to toe. The ability to brainstorm, reimagine the same end-goal vision as the person, then re-create our vision through the art of surgery is what drives me to love my feld immensely.

REANA MYERS, CAREAGA PLASTIC SURGERY | BODY | MIAMI, FL

The thing that I love the most about my feld is that there is a perfect balance between practicing medicine and art at the same time. When patients look good, they feel good, and this is very rewarding to me.

DR. S. ALEXANDER EARLE | BODY | MIAMI, FL

What I love about the feld of plastic surgery is the variety. My days always feel new and exciting, the patients are unique, and every procedure is tailored specifcally for personal results.

The staf at [Pure Plastic Surgery] is full of life, and we fnd ways to bring joy into the o ce. We celebrate each other’s wins, milestones, and achievements, all while making sure our patients feel seen, heard, and supported. We work together to create social media posts, respond to patient inquiries, and fnd opportunities for learning. This variety in the workplace keeps us positive, motivated, and inspired.

Each week, as I am prepping for the scheduled cases, I look at the patients’ fles their life stories, current bodies, and what they want to change. Even if I conduct the same procedures in one day, because each patient has specifc goals and a unique starting point, the surgeries and the experiences are never the same. This drives our team to be creative, thoughtful, and disciplined in our approach because there is no “one size fts all” in this feld. We have to get to know our patients and their goals so we can deliver the best results.

DR. JASON BLOOM | FACE | PHILADELPHIA, PA

All of my patients, family, and friends know how passionate I am about my job and the feld of facial plastic surgery. The thing that I love the most about facial plastic surgery, and my job in particular, is the variety I see patients of all diferent ages, ranging from young patients seeking rhinoplasty, neck liposuction, chin augmentation, otoplasty, and injectables, to my more mature patients looking for aging face surgery like blepharoplasty, browlifts, and face-lifts. Not only do I see women in my practice, but men have really been coming in with much more frequency in recent times.

Additionally, I love the balance of my surgery and o ce schedule. Also, the contrast between clinical patient care and teaching/ mentorship that I have in my practice continues to excite me! I get to teach and train the facial plastic surgery fellow[s] at the niversity of Pennsylvania as the co-director of the fellowship. I also train and teach the residents in otolaryngology, dermatology, and plastic surgery at the University of Pennsylvania and Temple University Hospital. Finally, my academic appointments and a liations allow me to continue to author academic journal articles and book chapters and stay in the know of the latest procedures and evidence-based medicine. When I look back, it is really not just the feld of facial plastic surgery that I love; it is really my job and the variety that I have created that [make] me enthusiastic every day

DR. KIRAN MIAN, HUDSON DERMATOLOGY & LASER SURGERY | SKIN | NEW YORK, NY

There isn’t just one thing I love about dermatology. The procedures that cure skin cancer, the problem-solving to absolve a rash, the creativity exercised when creating skin care regimens are all things I love on a daily basis. Most importantly, I love the way practicing dermatology makes me feel fulflled, accomplished, and like I’m making a diference. My patients come to me with skin conditions that are medical yet so much more than that. Their quality of life is afected at times even their self-esteem, the way they see themselves, the way they relate to others. My favorite thing about dermatology is the diference we make in people’s lives by uplifting how they feel about themselves. As a dermatologist, my goal is to help my patients be the best version of themselves. I love that dermatology is not just skin deep.

ART THE OF PRESERVATION

FOR OVER 160 YEARS, LOUIS VUITTON HAS ACHIEVED THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF EXCELLENCE IN CRAFTSMANSHIP, CREATING PRODUCTS THAT ARE MEANT TO LAST. HERE, HAUTE LIVING GOES DEEP INTO THE ART OF LOUIS VUITTON’S REPAIR PROCESS, REVEALING THE INNOVATIONS THAT ALLOW THE CHERISHED PIECES TO TRANSCEND GENERATIONS.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE PHOTOS COURTESY OF LOUIS VUITTON

There is an innate sentiment of connection woven into each Louis Vuitton piece. Investing in a Louis Vuitton piece means investing in its lifetime, from start to finish — from the unparalleled craftsmanship of the savoir-faire born in the ateliers and its design durability over time to the intimate repair process.

To ensure the longevity of each Louis Vuitton piece, the Maison uses a thorough repair and restoration process that allows clients to preserve the product’s emotional and material value. With preservation and sustainability at the forefront of this innovative initiative, Louis Vuitton continues to evolve its repair process with state-of-the-art techniques.

For the repairs that need extreme precision and attention to detail beyond more minor in-store repairs, Louis Vuitton has created twelve regional Repair Ateliers around the world with Louis Vuitton artisans dedicated solely to the mending process. At the Repair Ateliers, history is restored — from breathing new life into signature handbag styles to preserving some of the most historic trunk pieces. Impressively, 98% of the repairs at the Repair Ateliers are performed close to where clients live, ultimately limiting the CO2 emissions produced by some modes of transportation.

Replacing the shoulder strap of the Keepall bag

Detailed repairs remain at the heart of Louis Vuitton, upholding the Maison’s rich history and commitment to its craftsmanship. In fact, the first recorded repair at Louis Vuitton dates back to 1860, and today, the Maison repairs around 600,000 products per year — preserving the art of the craft.

ICON AN OF HER GENERATION

It’s a new generation, but the same classic. Fendi’s Peekaboo first appeared on the Women’s Spring/Summer 2009 runway and instantly became a quintessential handbag within both the House and the fashion industry. Now, over a decade later, the Peekaboo carries that same admiration, transcending trends and generations. Olivia Ponton, an icon of her own generation, embodies the playful yet poised essence of the Peekaboo bag. As Silvia Venturini Fendi once said: “The Peekaboo wearer is a multifaceted person. They have hidden talents;they choose what they reveal about themselves and when. I think that carrying a Peekaboo says something about a very strong, powerful, and empowered person who is not afraid to hide.”

GARDEN OF GUCCI

This summer, indulge in Gucci’s most iconic handbag styles in their most vibrant hues yet. The signature silhouettes give a nod to the house’s heritage styles — the Jackie 1961, Horsebit 1955, and the Bamboo 1947 –celebrating the iconic archival references while also catapulting them into a fresh, flowering era. From the Jackie 1961 in bold variations of green and exotic orange python to the Bamboo 1947 in baby blue and Horsebit 1955 in bright red leather, these are the blooming bags in the garden of Gucci.

FIT FOR A KING

LORO PIANA IS REDEFINING THE VALUE OF PREMIUM LUXURY WITH ITS NEW AUTHENTICITY AND TRACEABILITY INITIATIVE CERTIFIED BY THE AURA BLOCKCHAIN CONSORTIUM.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

Loro Piana is the epitome of an “if you know, you know” type of luxury brand. It is a brand dedicated to quintessential quality and unparalleled excellence;thus, when one invests in a Loro Piana piece, one understands its inherent value, ultimately developing an emotional connection to that piece.

Timed to the highly anticipated opening of its new Palo Alto store, Loro Piana revealed its latest initiative with the Aura Blockchain Consortium, a group founded with the mission of authenticity, responsible sourcing, and sustainability in a secure digital format within the luxury community. Loro Piana’s new authenticity and traceability service allows its clientele to fully immerse themselves in the intricate world of the company’s production of its most precious fibers, including The Gift of Kings.

“Loro Piana is a love story,” explains Giulio Bergamaschi, the strategic missions director at Loro Piana. “We are in love with the fibers that we produce at Loro Piana — one of those being The Gift of Kings, our dearest fiber. It is the thinnest wool in the world from the merino sheep, measuring at just 12 microns (for reference, our hair is 60 microns), and took over 30 years to perfect.” In fact, The Gift of Kings got its name from kings in Holland, England, and France who were gifted the world’s most delicate fibers as luxurious, honorable gifts.

Today, Loro Piana gives the gift of traceability to its client. “We achieve this emotional sensation of owning a Loro Piana piece by controlling the value chain, from fiber selection and [creation] to elevating the fibers into a masterpiece. At the same time as we control the chain and innovation, we are enhancing and preserving nature,” notes Bergamaschi. Using a QR code to integrate the blockchain into Loro Piana’s rich heritage of storytelling allows clients to be a part of the journey in understanding the steps of production, to have the opportunity for authentication services and ownership, and ultimately to transmit the know-how to the next generation.

CITY of stars

To celebrate the reopening of its iconic Beverly Hills boutique, Chanel has released an exclusive high jewelry capsule collection called Beverly Hills that pays homage to Gabrielle Chanel’s a nity with Hollywood and the sun and star motifs that served as a focal point for her high jewelry designs. The collection sparkles with four pieces that reveal Chanel’s connection to the “City of Stars,” including the Rising Stars earrings (with diamond stars adorned with pink and blue sapphires and ending with two rose-cut kite diamonds) that embody the joie de vivre of lavish 1930s Hollywood soirées and the Lucky Star double ring, which is a nod to the iconic Walk of Fame celebrating Hollywood’s legendary stars.

Louis Vuitton has just released stunning new pieces in the LV Volt Fine Jewelry collection that further serve as symbols of the universal vocabulary within the Louis Vuitton brand. First imagined in 2020 by the Maison’s artistic director for jewelry and watches, Francesca Amfitheatrof, the collection continues to evolve, pushing stereotypical jewelry boundaries and ultimately creating versatile, everyday pieces. Conceived as a leitmotif, the signature “L” and “V” intertwine their clean lines to create an abstract and architectural motif in which the two initials become the empowering graphic language used throughout the collection.

Amfitheatrof has reimagined iconic pieces within the collection, like the LV Volt Play bracelets, which now are featured in two sizes in 18-karat yellow gold and as interchangeable bracelets with an innovative braid of sparkling yellow-gold threads with red or black polyamide fibers. The collection also introduces pieces now set with diamonds on the pendants and ear studs in white or yellow gold, as well as a vocabulary of new shapes and handpolished indentations in the precious metal that echo the shape of the iconic LV initials.

2023 Range Rover SV

Landy rides again.

BY TIM LAPPEN

LET’S START BY CLEARING UP A FEW THINGS: THE COMPANY’S NAME is Land Rover, not Range Rover, and it has been building virtually indestructible vehicles since 19 7. According to the company, the frst Land Rover was designed using a stick to draw an outline of the vehicle in the sand on the beach (no doubt explaining the “svelte profle” of the earliest models). This British workhorse made a name for itself with a number of overland ventures, typically with lots of things (shovels, extra fuel, tarps, and innumerable other essentials) lashed to its fanks.

The Range Rover model was introduced to the Land Rover lineup in 1970, but it wasn’t formally introduced to the .S. until the late 19 0s. (Cars brought to America before then were “gray market” cars that weren’t really authorized to be here.) It’s hard to believe, but those early versions were very utilitarian, with vinyl and plastic interiors and generally made to be washed out with a garden hose

The company started as part of the Rover Company. It was then acquired by British Leyland Motor Corporation, BMW, and Ford before Tata Motors of India bought Jaguar Land Rover in 200 .

Land Rover still makes its basic Land Rover vehicles, though there are several iterations of them today. But the most luxurious vehicles in its lineup are the Range Rovers. I am pleased to tell you here about one of the most luxurious Range Rovers around: the Range Rover S (from Land Rover’s Special ehicle Operations group), which I had the absolute pleasure of borrowing for much of my trip to the most recent Monterey Car Week, including my time at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. One thing’s for sure: the new Range Rover is about as sleek as they come. It resembles the 19 0s version of the Land Rover as much as the frst human life slithering out of the miasma swamp resembles Don Draper on Madison Avenue. It’s available in the standard and extended wheelbase (both have 23 horsepower and hit 0-60 mph in about . seconds, though the extended wheelbase is about inches longer and can be ftted with seating for seven people).

The frst thing you notice is that the door handles now sit fush with the doors. Along with the clean-line design of the body panels front, aft, side, and top, it seems that a wind tunnel study mandated that even the smallest protrusion would have to be eliminated.

Next is the stance. The car sits tall (about 73 inches) and proud, on wheels that are available up to 23” (all the better to ford the nearest stream or traverse a damp Starbucks parking lot). The larger wheels add a perfect balance to the tall body, and even the wheel well arches are a good size, allowing the Range Rover to display its great proportions.

Open the driver’s door and prepare to be impressed. Leather, leather everywhere, with a great dash design that is much more luxury car-like than what you’d fnd in a truck. In fact, that’s the main thing that comes to mind: it’s a lot more like an elegant car than a utility vehicle, notwithstanding its impressive of-

road cred, which allows it to climb hills which are improbably steep (a few years ago, a Range Rover climbed the 999 steps of the awesome Heaven’s ate in China, an incline with a reputed -degree angle) and then proceed with equal surefootedness on the descent. The advertised wading depth is a hefty 3 feet (when the words “atmospheric river” are part of your weather forecast, you will appreciate that metric). The clearances permitted by the angles of approach (how the front of the vehicle clears a hill when frst starting a climb) and departure (how the tail of the vehicle clears the hill it’s about to fnish descending) are impressive, too, at 2 inches and 22.3 inches, respectively unheard of in vehicles made for street use. And when set to of road, the clearances allowed by the approach and departure angles increase impressively to 3 .6 inches and 29 inches, respectively. If you are concerned about your ability to navigate a steep descent, no problem — choose the driving mode “Hill Descent Control” and let the car choose the acceleration and, more importantly, the braking amounts to maintain optimum control.

Speaking of of-road chops, the Range Rover has a lot of tricks it can play with its suspension, traction, power, and transmission ranges. Of course, you can change ride height, which is great when you want to lower the car to let people in or out or load cargo or raise the car when driving of road. You can also choose various settings to make the ride softer or frmer. The transmission ofers settings from comfort to sport and a few in between, which is convenient for driving in snowy or icy conditions. And some settings, such as “Dynamic Mode,” simultaneously adjust suspension, throttle response, transmission shift points, and even the responsiveness of the steering.

With a base price of 201, 00 for the standard wheelbase Range Rover ( 226, 00 for the long wheelbase model), the price is up there with the competition — Bentley Bentayga, Lamborghini rus, Aston Martin DB , and their ilk all have versions priced similarly. Ticking the order boxes on a standard wheelbase Range Rover to make it “nicely appointed” can lead to a sticker price north of 21 ,000, but that would include items like laminate acoustic glass (to make the cabin quieter while driving), fancier paint, special wheels, and more. (By the way, if you really want to hit the stratosphere in terms of price, go for one of the 17 Range Rover S Carmel ditions, which I saw unveiled at Pebble Beach — they are gorgeous and priced at 3 ,000, though buyers were invited to purchase them at Range Rover dealers, so you’re probably too late to get one now.)

I loved my time with the high-end Landy and was happy with every driving condition I encountered. I was very pleasantly surprised by how quiet and elegant it was, in addition to its copious amounts of power, excellent handling, and great braking. Land Rover’s decision to have the Range Rover extend into the luxury space was a good move, and they’ve done a great job of building a vehicle that is well up to the challenge.

2023 Mercedes-Benz AMG EQS

The leader of the (battery) pack.

BY TIM LAPPEN

LIK S RAL OTH R A TOMAK RS, M RC D S-B N HAS experimented with electric cars, typically by changing the power plants in some of their gasoline-driven cars, and that’s worked out fne (I am looking at you, B-Class lectric). While these were good cars, they didn’t wholly embrace the electrifcation thing: there were no diferentiating looks or special technology to take advantage of the paradigm shift coming with the end of the internal combustion engine (IC ).

Things are diferent now with the arrival of the Q sub-brand to denote which vehicles are driven only by electrons. (Note that there already are reports that the “ Q” prefx will disappear as soon as their electrifed vehicles outsell gas- and diesel-powered ones.) Seemingly all of a sudden, we have eight Q sedans and fve Q S s:

Q 3 0 Sedan: MSRP 7 ,900; 30 -mile range; 0-60 mph in 6.2 seconds

Q 3 0 Matic Sedan: MSRP 77,900; 260-mile range; 0-60 mph in 6.0 seconds

Q 00 Matic Sedan: MSRP ,900; 260-mile range; 0-60 mph in . seconds

Also note that, reportedly, there are plans for an EQ G-Class to arrive some time next year.

As you can see, the folks at Mercedes-Benz have thoughtfully used the same nomenclature for their e-cars so that “E” and “S” are being carried over to help denote the relative sizes and luxury of their various EQ-mobiles. They’ve also kept a distinctively Mercedes-Benz look for the sedans. Of course, the grilles are diferent since the electric motors don’t need cooling like their IC brethren. The EQ’s grille area is a stylish panel that looks both modern and traditional and incorporates distinctive lighting.

Luckily for me, this article is about the AMG version of the S-EQS, which was “mine” for a week I am not sure whether an electric car can be called the “bad boy model,” but if it could, this would be Mercedes-Benz’s candidate.

First of all, I need to mention that this car has 6 9 horsepower and 700 pound-feet of torque (amped up, so to speak, with the “Race Start” option, to 7 1 horsepower and 7 2 pound-feet). Let those stats sink in. This clearly is not your grandparents’ Leaf or Prius, but you knew that already after you saw the acceleration metric of 3. seconds, which portends stoplight grand prix victories over most cars, even when many are in the “sports car” category. True, the top speed of this AM is electronically limited to 1 mph, but that velocity is still fast enough to get you arrested on virtually any road in the U.S. Other than bragging rights, though, what does a top speed north of 200 mph get you, anyway?

What I like about the AM QS is its unapologetic acceptance that it is a high-tech vehicle. Clearly, it’s apparent when you open the driver’s door and see a dashboard glass (Mercedes-Benz calls it a “Hyperscreen”) that seamlessly overlays three separate displays behind one 6-inch clear glass cover, so the efect is terrifc. The three display zones are the driver’s display (which, as you would expect, contains the information typically shown to a driver, like speed, range, etc.); the center display (which is the car’s infotainment, including the audio choices, navigation, and the like); and the passenger-focused display, which allows the front-seat occupant to choose from an array of options. (This display has a static look if there’s no front passenger.)

As is typical of many high-end cars these days, the suspension has a number of adjustable settings, and since the car rides on air bellows at each wheel, it has a handful of adjustments, from cushy to performance. The air bellows system also helps smooth out bumps and potholes automatically thanks to sensors that continually read the road. They also lower the car automatically at speeds above about 7 mph to reduce aerodynamic drag, allowing the car to drive farther on less electricity than would otherwise be the case.

The EQS models all have rear-wheel steering, which is very useful when parking and with lane changes as it efectively makes the car drive and handle as if it’s shorter than it actually is. (Mercedes-Benz touts it as allowing an S-Class car to be as manageable as a compact car, which is especially noticeable when making a -turn.)

My time with the AM QS was shorter than I wanted, which I take as a good thing since wanting to keep a car longer is a good metric for its desirability. The look, ft, and fnish of the AM QS are superb, and the performance, especially for an S-Class sedan, is remarkable. I predict that this will be a big seller, as the car provides Mercedes-Benz’s well-known quality in a brand-new package, one which will allow former IC S-Class owners to feel right at home and allow new adopters to truly enjoy both the luxury and the performance.

SPACE ODYSSEY

To mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of Louis Vuitton, La Fabrique du Temps has created a timepiece inspired by the limitless discovery of space.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

LOUIS VUITTON CONTINUES ITS BICENTENNIAL BIRTHDAY celebration by releasing a brand-new timepiece: the Tambour Jacquemart Minute Repeater 200th Anniversary. A watch synonymous with the timelessness of the fashion Maison, the Tambour Jacquemart Minute Repeater is inspired by the infnite wonders of space. “This new Tambour Jacquemart Minute Repeater is the tribute that La Fabrique du Temps wanted to pay to Louis Vuitton,” notes Michel Navas, master watchmaker at La Fabrique du Temps. “The mechanical masterpiece explores the journey theme, our great Maison’s core expertise. It’s an odyssey comparable to that of Louis uitton in contemporary fne watchmaking.”

From the inside out, this Tambour radiates elements of outer space, from its futuristic design and complexities to the space storytelling that sits within the dial. Designed as a work of art for the wrist, the dial features a white-gold moving spaceship and miniature planets — both sculpted by engraver Dick Steenman — set against the backdrop of an intricate painting by Anita Porchet of the modern-day space journey. “In order to enhance the relief and depth of space, Porchet combined several techniques such as enamel miniature painting to portray the imaginary planet, opaque and transparent enamels in the nebulae surrounding the stars, [and] antique spangles making the space sky twinkle,” reveals Navas. In addition, the dial is surrounded by the Tambour’s iconic white gold and titanium case, which boasts an impressive 46.8 millimeters, giving a subtle nod to the space capsule and astronaut’s helmet.

The Tambour Jacquemart Minute Repeater is a true masterpiece of horology with its intricate design and impressive complications. In its Geneva workshop, Louis Vuitton created and assembled the hand-wound LV200 caliber, which is at the heart of the timepiece and consists of 480 components, marrying the jacquemart function with a cathedral gong minute repeater. In fact, the French term “jacquemart” refers to a mechanical fgure that strikes a bell; thus, on the dial of this Tambour, nine jacquemarts step in. With the push of a button, the rocket takes of, revealing diamond passengers in its cockpit; the planets spin while the Monogram fower rotation is followed by the movement of two shooting stars — a moment that transcends Louis Vuitton into space. The movement can also be admired from the back of the case through sapphire crystal revealing the movement components, colored in the same blue as the dial.

And while this timepiece honors the visionary and founder of the Maison, it also launches the timepiece into the 21st century, with Jean Arnault at the helm of leadership.

SKY HIGH

Grand Seiko unveils two new Caliber 9S 25th Anniversary limited editions inspired by the skies of Mount Iwate.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

TO CELEBRATE THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF ITS CALIBER 9S, Grand Seiko released two new timepieces that sport the same case design and diameter as the original watch that housed the 9S movement: the SBGH311 and the SBGR325.

When Caliber 9S debuted in 1998, it was synonymous with Grand Seiko’s unwavering dedication to the pursuit of high accuracy and boundary-pushing technological advancements in watchmaking. Ushering a new era for the brand’s mechanical watchmaking, Caliber 9S set a new precedent.

Throughout the last two decades, the original Caliber 9S has evolved into a series of movements with diferent functions, featuring new alloys for both the main and balance springs and MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) engineering, which allows critical components to be manufactured to a tolerance of one-thousandth of a millimeter. Ultimately, these evolutions became the platform on which Grand Seiko mechanical movements are built, leading to the creation of the revolutionary Caliber 9SA5 in 2020.

Adhering to the Grand Seiko design ethos, both of the new timepieces draw inspiration from nature — specifcally, the varying elements of the skies over Mount Iwate. The SBGH311 features a textured dial that portrays the density

of the clouds through a sleek, gray monochromatic look. Through the transparent sapphire crystal caseback, the Grand Seiko emblem is revealed; it is set into the titanium oscillating weight, whose color is achieved by an anodic oxidation process exclusively designed to mimic the deepblue sky above the sea of clouds that surrounds Mount Iwate’s peak. Inside, the timepiece is equipped with the Hi-Beat 36000 automatic mechanical Caliber 9S85, handassembled by the highly trained craftsmen and women of the Grand Seiko Studio Shizukuishi; it has an average accuracy rate of +5 to -3 seconds per day and delivers a power reserve of 55 hours.

In contrast to the SBGH311, the SBGR325 radiates with a vibrant light-blue dial representing the clear skies of Mount Iwate. But similar to the SBGH311, this timepiece also features the seconds hand in a cobalt blue and the Grand Seiko logo in a gold color, commemorating the 9S movement. On the back, you can fnd the oscillating weight in the signature rand Seiko blue color created by the same anodic oxidation process as the former. Finally, the timepiece is powered by Caliber 9S65, which has an average daily rate of +5 to -3 seconds per day and a three-day power reserve.

HAUTE COMPLICATION

Introducing the new Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime Ref. 6300/400G in white gold.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

NEAR THE END OF 2022, PATEK PHILIPPE RELEASED FOUR new grand complications on the heels of its other jawdropping Nautilus release. The latest grand complications continue to showcase Patek Philippe’s unparalleled craftsmanship in blending haute horology and haute joaillerie to create the ultimate time masterpieces. Setting the bar incredibly high as the most complicated wristwatch in Patek Philippe’s repertoire, the Grandmaster Chime Ref. 6300/400G radiates in a white gold Haute Joaillerie iteration with over 400 (409, to be exact) 31.35-carat, baguette-cut diamonds and an invisible setting.

Inside, the timepiece is powered by the manually wound mechanical movement: Caliber 300 GS AL 36-750 QIS FUS IRM. Marrying the worlds of precious diamonds with mechanical sophistication, this Grandmaster features 20 complications;

among those are fve chiming modes, including two patented world exclusives: an alarm with a time strike and a date repeater. The double-faced reversible case features a patented rotation mechanism allowing the wearer to choose which dial — the time or calendar side — is visible.

There’s no denying that this is an exquisite timepiece. The dial on the time side is designed in a sleek, ebony black opaline with Breguet numerals and a hand-guilloched hobnail pattern. Flip the watch, and on the calendar side, you will also fnd an ebony black opaline dial with 18-karat solid gold dial plates. The 49.4-millimeter white gold case is set with 387 baguette-cut diamonds, with 22 baguette-cut diamonds dancing around the bezel. The piece is ftted with a sophisticated alligator leather strap to further complement the sparkle of the diamonds and the depth of the ebony black dial.

EVERY MOMENT MATTERS

Glashütte Original expands its Pano Collection with the new PanoMaticCalendar, making history for the brand as its first annual calendar.

BY GABRIEL PESSOA

GLASHÜTTE ORIGINAL’S NEW PANOMATICCALENDAR IS designed to celebrate both the great and small victories in life. The latest creation from the German luxury watchmaker is dedicated to the special moments, whether they are the great and small highlights or the extraordinary and everyday encounters.

Glashütte Original presents the new PanoMaticCalendar in an elegant yet original manner, with modern mechanics, as it introduces a new movement and complication for the Pano Collection. The 2-millimeter model is ofered in two styles: red gold (with a silver opaline dial and ftted with a brown alligator leather strap) or a limited edition in platinum (equipped with a skeletonized galvanic black dial that is paired with a matching strap).

The German watchmaker’s latest timepiece presents a new manufactory movement developed in-house,

celebrating its premiere in two versions at once: as Caliber 92-09 in the red gold version and as Caliber 92-10 in the partially skeletonized platinum model. Both movements are plated in rhodium — the limited edition is particularly striking as the galvanization coats it in an elegant shade of black. Whatever its appearance, the new automatic movement serves as a testament to the brand’s commitment to modern mechanics.

The retrograde month display combines contemporary design with complex mechanics. It can be easily set, just like the date, via the crown. In the heart of the watch, the month wheel rests on a ball bearing, ensuring reduced friction and, thus, in the long run, proving the timepiece can survive all of life’s moments.

AVIATION LEGACY

Longines launches the new Longines Pilot Majetek.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

LONGINES IS A WATCHMAKING COMPANY WITH AN UNPARALLELED heritage. A brand long committed to the sophistication of performance as well as an evolving elegance, Longines has been synonymous with o cial timekeeping in the world’s most prestigious sporting events. In that same pioneering spirit, aviation has been in Longines’ DNA for more than 100 years, and to celebrate its connection to aviation and its pilot’s watch, the 1935 Longines Majetek Reference 3582, the watchmaker released the new Longines Pilot Majetek.

Taking inspiration from the frst Majetek, a military watch used by Czechoslovakian pilots during World War II, the new Longines Pilot Majetek has maintained some of the original’s key elements. The timepiece features the same distinctive Arabic numerals as the original, but it also has new, streamlined luminescent baton hands and incorporates modern design elements, like the larger case size of 43 millimeters. In this case, we think bigger is better. On the

outside of the enlarged, cushion-shaped steel case at 9 o’clock, there is a ftted commemorative plate marked “1935,” a nod to the year the original was manufactured. Another noteworthy update: on the 1935 model, the bezel and crystal with the marker rotated as a unit, but on the new model, the fuorescent “starting time indicator” is displayed under the sapphire glass, from which it is independent, and above the dial. The sapphire crystal glass is fxed in order to adhere to the new case’s water resistance of 100 meters. The dial itself is quite stunning, with the contrast between the matte black dial and the white Arabic numerals coated with Super-LumiNova old radium highlighted by the railway minute marker, ensuring ultimate legibility. At the heart of the timepiece beats the exclusive Longines L 93.6 caliber, equipped with a magnetically resistant silicon balance spring. In addition, the movement has a power reserve of up to 72 hours, keeping accurate time even when not worn for a few days.
