JUST AFTER RECEIVING A COVETED STAR ON THE HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME, LATIN MUSIC ICON MARC ANTHONY REFLECTS ON HIS STAR-STUDDED CAREER.
BY LAURA SCHREFFLER JOE THOMAS MARTINEZhen your life flashes before your eyes, it typically means, well, the end. But for Marc Anthony, it feels like the beginning.
The day: September 7, 2023. The location: Los Angeles. The milestone: Anthony, the top-selling tropical salsa artist of all time, was finally receiving his long-awaited star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Standing there on the celestial-strewn pavement, the 55-year-old-singer was visibly emotional, wiping away tears as he soaked in this life-and-career-affirming moment alongside wife Nadia Ferreira and eldest sons Cristian, 22, and Ryan Muñiz, 20, near the historic corner of Hollywood & Vine.
“My life did flash before my eyes,” the four-time Grammy Award and eight-time Latin Grammy Award winner admits. “All I could think about was all those people that shaped me — the faceless, but not nameless; the people that don’t get credit, people you come in contact with every day, people who were disrespectful to you when you first started, people who were great to you when you first started. I couldn’t stop thinking about every encounter I’d had since I started: good, bad, different. I was standing up there just thinking about all those people that had everything to do with who I am, and I wanted to thank them regardless of what they did to me, whether it was good or bad.”
But let’s be real: who’s going to want to talk about the bad after such a momentous occasion? Certainly not Anthony, and who could blame him? So, instead, we focus on the good: he shares the moments that rolled like a reel through his head as he stood on his star. “I’ve lived a lot of great moments, from the Grammys to inducting Billy Joel into the Songwriters Hall of Fame to inducting Paul Simon into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I relived singing with Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson.”
The Puerto Rican singer takes me back to that day, smiling as he shares that, while reliving his greatest hits, he was snapped back to reality by the appearance of longtime friend David Beckham, who surprised him as the ceremony’s guest speaker. He remembers that he couldn’t stop the tears from slipping out, despite his best attempts at wiping them away, especially when the former soccer star said, “When we met, we immediately had a special connection. I knew that I had a friend for life.”
Anthony shakes his head now and recalls, “When David walked out, it was a total surprise. It was just like, Are you kidding me?” But it wasn’t until he himself was asked to say a few words that the flashbacks began.
“It was surreal,” he confesses. “Those things, I guess, are designed to make you feel a certain way — give you a sense of accomplishment, a sense of having been there, of having survived the trenches over decades and it was pretty effective. It’s really tough to accept it in a weird way. It’s extremely humbling. I was just going, There’s no way. When did this happen? When did I get so lucky? You work so hard to make things look easy, and then before you know it, it’s like, Where did the last 20 years go? I feel like a puppy, like I’m just starting.”
He may feel that way, but the rest of us know that musical icons don’t just appear overnight. While most of us were busy making other plans, Anthony was just busy. After starting his career nearly four decades ago as a session vocalist for freestyle music and underground house music acts in New York, he scored his first big hit in the Latin music world by releasing the salsa version of the late Juan Gabriel’s hit “Hasta Que Te Conocī.” Following his first salsa album, Otra Nota (1993), his albums broke sales and chart records. His third album, Contra La Corriente, became
the first salsa album to enter the Billboard 200 album chart. His 2013 album, Marc Anthony 3.0, received an American Music Award, a Grammy, five Premios Lo Nuestro, two Premios Juventud, and a special “6-time Diamond” certification from the RIAA, while his 2019 album, Opus, received the 2020 Grammy for Best Tropical Latin Album. Pa’llá Voy (2022), his thirteenth and most recent album (as well as his eleventh sung in Spanish), was released on his own Magnus / Sony Latin Music imprint. It received four Grammy nominations and won the Grammy for Best Salsa Album.
Anthony has received multiple Billboard Latin Music Awards, including ten as a solo artist, three Billboard Awards, and special recognitions from the Univision and Telemundo networks. He’s also had hit singles in collaborations with Maluma (“La Fórmula”, 2023), Gente de Zona (“La Gozadera”, 2014, and “Traidora”, 2015), and most recently, “De Vuelta Pa’La Vuelta” with Daddy Yankee. Over the course of his career, he has received countless gold and platinum certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and has been credited with 105 Billboard chart #1 hits. His tours “Vivir Mi Vida”, “Cambio de Piel”, “Full Circle” , “Legacy”, and “ The OPUS Tour” , have been included in the Global Top Grossing Concert Tours lists. He holds three Guinness World Records and the honor of being named the 2016 Latin Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences prestigious ‘Person of the Year.’
He has acted in a slew of films, including In the Heights (2021), El Cantante (2006), Man on Fire (2004), In the Time of Butterflies (2001), Bringing Out the Dead (1999), and even had a starring role in Paul Simon’s The Capeman (1998) on Broadway; launched a dual focus music and sports agency in Magnus Media, which has quickly become one of the leading Latin artist and athlete representation companies in the nation; has his own clothing and accessories line; is a minority owner of The Miami Dolphins; and launched the nonprofit Maestro Cares Foundation in 2012, which has built orphanages in various countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. He and ex-wife Jennifer Lopez are also responsible for creating Somos Una Voz, an alliance of artists and athletes that provide humanitarian relief to areas affected by natural disasters throughout the southern United States, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and the Caribbean.
So, when he tells me that, post-ceremony, the first thought he had was, “All right, all right, well it’s time to get back to work,” my initial thought is: that sounds about right. And also, when do you sleep?
To that, he says simply, “My career is my life. It’s my passion.” Which means (and which he actually says): “I don’t need much sleep.” Duly noted. (But perhaps that’s why he’s wearing sunglasses at night during our interview, which, for the record, look totally cool when paired with his plain white T-shirt, Bulova watch, and plethora of tattoos).
Honestly, I’m not surprised that his idea of sleep is a power nap. Anthony’s mind is constantly working, moving, leaping to the next big thing. It’s how truly successful people operate, firing on all cylinders, assessing everything, leaving nothing to chance. He says as much now.
“When you’ve been in the game as long as I have, and have had 105 number ones, 83 major awards and 15 billion streams, when you’re sitting in that seat, it’s shocking. It’s no wonder I’m so damn tired all the time. I’m like, I did all that.”
And now, he’s doing it his way. He officially released 2019’s Opus under his own imprint, making sure he was steering the ship of his own career. And yes, it felt as good and made him feel as powerful and in control as you’d assume. When it comes to his future music, the sky is the limit anything is possible — which is why great things can be expected from an upcoming unnamed album, due in 2024… and some surprises.
“I fulfilled my commitment to Sony, and I handed in my last contractual album with them, which was a sense of accomplishment. You know, not too many people sign for 20 years and make it to the last one, still being at the top of your game. So, I had fun with it, knowing that it would be the last one I had under this current contract. I had a lot more fun with it. I wouldn’t
“YOU WORK SO HARD TO MAKE THINGS LOOK EASY, AND THEN BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, IT’S LIKE, WHERE DID THE LAST 20 YEARS GO? I FEEL LIKE A PUPPY, LIKE I’M JUST STARTING.”
say I experimented, but I did stuff I always wanted to do, different genres. It was more of a bucket list thing. And I think I enjoyed this one the most because I had the least amount of pressure. I was just like, let’s just have fun.”
The upcoming, nameless album that’s slated to arrive in 2024 is more of the same — and perhaps the most fun of all, even more so than its recent predecessor, because of the freedom he had to do as he pleased without pressure. “I’m looser now. Less tense, if you will, in my interpretation. I’m just having fun with it and experimenting. We recorded [the new album] in a couple of days. No synthesizers, no nothing, just 17 live musicians in a room. I never knew what I was going to do. I’d write live with the band right there, without having a clue as to what the outcome would look like. It was a stream of consciousness kind of thing. I captured the moment, and I enjoyed it. I remember sitting around with the musicians and just joking, not feeling the pressure, knowing that the album was going to come out a year later. It was refreshing; a refreshing take on how my music has matured.”
In general, this is how Anthony feels about his music, his sound: not that it has “evolved” per se, as much as it’s “matured. I’ve been making music for over 30 years now, and I’ve always had my sound. I think that that’s what set me apart. And the reason I think it’s matured is because I know what works. When I produce and write, I write more for the stage, like what’s going to work in a live concert, right? Because I know that at the end of the day, these songs are mine for the rest of my life. I have to live with them. I also have to live with singing them on a nightly basis in arenas and stadiums.”
Which means he has to care about the music he’s making. And with this newfound professional freedom, he’s able to indulge that passion like never before.
“There’s not much left to do other than to enjoy it at this stage of my career. I think that my legacy is intact musically. My work is done in the way of having to prove anything. What shapes you is how much fight you have, right? When you’re not as well known, you have to make a name for yourself and stand for something or represent something. I’m the first Puerto Rican, the first Latino, that some world leaders have ever met. And I’ve always felt like I had a responsibility because of that; I never phoned anything in. Every contact I had with anyone was important to me, regardless of what they did for a living. It’s really gratifying to me that I took that route [that I was always authentic to myself and to my culture]. I never went into music because of money or fame or women — it was never that for me, and it’s still not.”
Which begs the question: what was his impetus for music if not fame, fortune, or women? His answer is a surprising one. “It was by necessity,” he admits. “I don’t know if you noticed, but I sort of tend to stutter. But [back in the day] it was much worse. When I was younger, I couldn’t talk. I stuttered horribly. But when I sang, I didn’t. And so, that was my safe place. I took it seriously, too, and it saved my ass from a lot of things. I could express myself; I could imagine. So yeah, I’m a lifer. I gave my life to [music].”
As such, he’s going to continue to give it everything he’s got, but his way, on his terms. “I have nothing left to prove, but I’m just going to continue to strive for excellence at every turn because every opportunity is a fucking blessing, man. I never phoned it in, and I think that that’s the difference.”
Well, sir, the world has noticed — and I believe star number 2,762 is proof enough.
“I HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO PROVE, BUT I’M JUST GOING TO CONTINUE TO STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE AT EVERY TURN BECAUSE EVERY OPPORTUNITY IS A FUCKING BLESSING, MAN.”
arco Antonio Muñíz is a born and bred New Yorker, but these days, there’s no place like home — and home is Miami.
“Once a New Yorker, always a New Yorker, right? And that’s the god’s own truth. I mean, I survived New York for 40 years, and it takes a certain kind of person, right?” he notes. There’s a ‘but.’ “But the weather in New York was just too fucking much, man. And I got to spend a lot of time here in Miami because of work. It was a big Latin hub for what I do, right? Everybody passes through Miami. I lived in LA for about nine years, and it wasn’t quite the same. There tends to be more reason to come to Miami for Latin artists. I mean, I could throw a rock and hit a musician here, right? It’s the epicenter of Latin music from a producer’s standpoint, from a business standpoint. It’s closer to 90 percent of my work, and honestly, I’ve really adapted to Miami life. I never thought I would because I remember coming to Miami in the 80s, and Jesus, it was totally different. But I’m glad I did it. I consider myself a Miamian. I can’t live anywhere else.”
At this stage in his life, the hustle of The City That Never Sleeps isn’t quite as appealing — especially given that he himself already has problems in the area. But there’s a special brand of magic about Miami, something undeniable and almost palpable, something that he was no longer finding in his hometown. “I feel so welcome here,” he admits. “Miami really accepted me with open arms. I don’t know if it was because of my work, though I’m sure that had something to do with it. The city is so welcoming, though, that every time I come back after a long tour or trip, I feel like I’m home. Everybody speaks my language; they understand my culture. It’s just a perfect place, and I wouldn’t change it for anything in the world.”
Miami is where his heart is, and equally as important for Anthony, at least, it’s the home base of Magnus, the entertainment company he founded in 2015, which gave him the tools to craft his professional independence. After almost 20 years with Sony, he was able to create his own label.
The biggest news, as of today, is that Magnus’ sister company, Magnus Talent Agency, has formed a partnership with Spain-based Industria Works, effectively creating the Industria Works Booking and Management division, thus expanding the company’s live music offerings and providing a strategic presence in the European market. Industria Works books shows and tours in Europe and Latin America for artists such as Trueno, Love of Lesbian, Paula Cendejas, Villano Antillano, YSY A, Maikel Delacalle, Nicola Cruz, and YADAM, among others. These artists will now join Magnus’ current roster, which includes Anthony himself, Bacilos, Fonseca, Gente de Zona, Il Volo, Mau y Ricky, and Micro TDH, among others.
He hints at what’s to come, but Anthony is playing coy as to what he can actually divulge. From the sound of it, he’s planning to make some big announcements, so watch this space. OK, maybe not this one, but you get my point. I do know this: he will be debuting new music at the Billboard Latin Music Awards on October 5 — and this new music is totally unexpected and a complete departure from anything he’s done before.
“There are a couple of things that are going to be announced in the next couple of weeks that I’m writing; songs I’ve written [for his upcoming album], which, to be honest, I love doing. Writing is gratifying; it’s satisfying. But I like using the other side of my brain, too, because when I create an album, what do I do other than sing it? The least artistic part of being an artist is being on stage. I’m not writing a song live in front of 30,000 people. I’m basically singing karaoke. So, what am I using my brain for?” he wonders.
That’s why Magnus is such an important component of Anthony’s life and — dare I say it — his most important focus. As he took control of his name, his music, and those of others, he’s become more entrepreneurial than ever before. “I enjoy the challenge of running businesses, coming up with the next big idea, the next big approach based on what I know, based on my tool set,” he confides, sharing, “You wouldn’t believe what I do here in my
house. I have a shop, and I’m constantly creating stuff, which you’ll probably hear about at some point. But I do all the prototypes myself. I design everything myself. I do it all myself.”
If only that comment weren’t so vague, but alas, methinks it was intentionally so. Never mind. He’s back to being all business — or at least talking about it. “[When I created Magnus], I thought to myself, I wish I could streamline that process for these artists that are coming up. I wish that I could give them advice. When I started, it was totally different. There was no social media; there was no nothing. We had to pound the pavement with our cassettes and our 45s and literally knock on the doors of radio stations, attaching our headshots. And now, shit, man. If I had the tools that these kids have now, man… But I’m glad I don’t because that creates character. I’m like the Last of the Mohicans of those that had to do it that way and are still in the game, still kicking ass. I’m not here to play games: I’m here to kick your ass and be the best that I can be because that’s what I owe you. That’s what the business side of it is like to me. I really enjoy the challenge of that.”
Everything is a challenge to Anthony, who has never shied away from hardship or from putting in the work. Which, as it happens, is the knowledge he most wants to impress upon his children. Anthony is the father of seven, including his previously mentioned sons Cristian and Ryan with exwife Dayanara Torres; daughter Arianna and son Chase from his previous relationship with Debbie Rosado; twins Max and Emme with ex-wife Jennifer Lopez; and his child with wife of nine months, former Miss Universe Paraguay Nadia Ferreira, a son, born in June. “The biggest lesson I want to teach my kids is that there’s no shame in working hard. My kids look up to me, and we spend a lot of time doing Q&As. They ask, ‘What was it like then?’ And they know it was hard, man. When they hear the specific stories about my hard work, perseverance, all that good stuff, they’re like, ‘What?’
I’m like, Yeah. That’s how it was. It was like the wild, wild West in this industry when I started. And I didn’t take shortcuts because they don’t create character, man. You have to feel the sting of something — how something hurts — when you make a decision because that’s what’s going to etch in your brain. I don’t ever want to feel this way again. I’ll never do that again. That shit hurt too much. It burned too much earth. That’s the only way you’re going to learn.”
He pauses, and I hate that I can’t see his eyes behind his sunglasses because his voice has gone quiet. It’s almost as if he’s back on the Hollywood Walk of Fame again, as if he’s having more flashbacks — and not the enjoyable kind. Whatever this is, the memory isn’t singing with Whitney. But he returns quickly, revealing an obvious pride in his kids.
“They’re not afraid of hard work,” he says, sharing, “I was just with my oldest sons [Cristian and Ryan]. I was here working on a project. They jumped in to help, and we were up working until six in the morning until it was perfect. I was like, No, man, get some rest. [My oldest] goes, ‘No, no, no man, if you’re up, we’re up, let’s go.’ [But they were also like] ‘Dad, this is hard.’ And I said, Yeah, it is, but it’s fucking worth it, man. This is worth it. And once you break through, you’re gonna be sitting there going, ‘Now I’m reaping the rewards.’ There’s honor in busting ass; there’s no shame in hard, honest work.”
Obviously, this is something Marc Anthony knows a thing or two about. Take a look at his Grammys, his Latin Grammys, his Billboard Awards, and his Guinness World Records. But even he realizes that the greatest luxury in life is one that’s fleeting, and one that’s never guaranteed — even when it’s seemingly so.
The singer says, “I think the hardest [thing] to achieve [is] peace of mind that you know you’ve done it right, when you don’t have to look over your shoulder so much, and there is just peace. The time [it takes to realize that]? That’s a fucking luxury, man.”
Said like the true star he is (and has).
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN CULINARY HISTORY, HOSPITALITY GIANTS
Groot Hospitality and Tao Group Hospitality are coming together to launch a brand-new restaurant in the Magic City. Introducing Casadonna, an enchanting coastal Italian-inspired restaurant nestled within the historical Mediterranean revival structure of Miami’s Women’s Club in the Edgewater neighborhood (underneath Klaw). Casadonna draws its essence from its surroundings, the name itself translating to “house of the woman” in Italian.
At the heart of Casadonna’s culinary journey lies the enchanting flavors of Riviera-style Italian cooking. The meticulously crafted menu pays homage to coastal towns like Naples, Taormina, Bari, Positano, and Gaeta. Signature dishes present a harmonious blend of traditional recipes and contemporary presentation, showcasing the freshest local and imported ingredients. The restaurant’s culinary identity is further elevated by an array of bespoke cocktails and an extensive wine selection, creating a sensory experience that caters to diverse palates.
Boasting both indoor and outdoor dining spaces, Casadonna provides seating for up to 366 guests. The visionary designer Ken Fulk has curated an ambiance that seamlessly melds history with modernity, capturing the legacy of the Women’s Club building — which was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1974 — while still embracing the contemporary tastes of Miami. Fulk’s design prowess is showcased through distinctive elements such as a serene indoor-outdoor transition, an elegantly covered high-ceilinged atrium, iconic vaulted glass windows, original gates, opulent chandeliers, and intricate floor patterns.
With Groot Hospitality and Tao Group Hospitality’s shared dedication to creating exceptional culinary destinations, Casadonna emerges as a captivating ode to Italian coastal flavors. With the bar set extremely high, Casadonna is set to open its doors this fall, allowing discerning diners to indulge in an extraordinary experience that bridges tradition and innovation, culinary excellence, and impeccable design.
Legendary, globally acclaimed RosaNegra restaurant is set to open a new outpost in Miami next year.
BY ADRIENNE FAUROTEMIAMI’S CULINARY AND ENTERTAINMENT LANDSCAPE IS GETTING yet another globally acclaimed dining and entertainment concept with the announcement of RosaNegra’s highly anticipated US debut. Real estate visionary and president of Black Lion, Robert Rivani, has successfully orchestrated the arrival of internationally acclaimed entertainment restaurant RosaNegra to Miami’s thriving gastronomic scene. Mexico-based Grupo RosaNegra has inked a 10-year lease to occupy a prime ground-floor space at the prestigious SLS Brickell.
“Introducing this legendary restaurant group to South Florida is in perfect alignment with Black Lion’s overarching vision to revolutionize Miami’s hospitality scene,” notes Rivani. “RosaNegra’s presence will infuse the area with an unparalleled energy and elevate the culinary landscape of Brickell to new heights.”
RosaNegra’s forthcoming Miami outpost, slated to open in Spring 2024, marks its sixth location worldwide and its flagship establishment in the United States. The restaurant, a celebration of Latin American cuisine and culture, defies convention by blending gourmet dining experiences with top-tier entertainment and personalized service. Occupying a sprawling 13,634-squarefoot space at SLS Brickell on South Miami Avenue, RosaNegra will serve as an epicurean oasis in the heart of the city. The venue will be complemented by an expansive 4,634-square-foot outdoor area, providing a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor dining and entertainment.
Passionately dedicated to sourcing high-quality ingredients and utilizing the freshest produce, RosaNegra’s eclectic menu traverses the gastronomic traditions of Peru, Argentina, Colombia, Brazil, and Mexico. Signature dishes meticulously crafted with daring and authentic flavors grace the menu, including Tasmanian smoked trout, Spanish carabineros, and Wagyu beef from Japan. The artistic presentation of artisanal cocktails, concocted with signature infusions and natural elements, further elevates the dining experience.
However, RosaNegra isn’t just about culinary excellence. The establishment masterfully blends its gastronomic offerings with a vibrant atmosphere, replete with live music, a resident DJ, and high-level entertainment that culminates in unforgettable moments. As Miami eagerly anticipates the arrival of RosaNegra’s experience, it’s clear that this collaboration between Rivani and the Grupo RosaNegra will be a game-changer, setting new standards for gastronomy and entertainment in the city.

For the Louis Vuitton Men’s Fall-Winter 2023 collection, we’re taken on a nostalgic journey into adulthood, with keen inspiration taken from the formative moments of our upbringing that connect us. Through tailored suiting and dramatic yet refined silhouettes mixed with playful prints and bold accessories, the collection embraces the art of becoming an adult without losing the joie de
of being a kid.
For its fifth installment of the Artycapucines Collection, Louis Vuitton has tapped five highly revered contemporary artists to reimagine the iconic Capucines handbag. The artists — Billie Zangewa, Ewa Juszkiewicz, Liza Lou, Ida Tursic & Wilfried Mille, and Ziping Wang — each reveal their artistic expression onto the blank canvas of the Capucines bag, once again fusing Louis Vuitton’s legacy with the unique point of view of the artist embodying their respective cultures and artistic mediums.
Billie Zangewa, hailing from Malawi and based in South Africa, employs meticulously imperfect raw silk patchwork to conjure landscapes and portraits, as seen in her Artycapucines featuring her 2020 artwork “The Swimming Lesson” –a heartwarming depiction of her son Mika. This masterpiece comes to life through high-definition trompe-l’oeil printing, expressive embroidery, and intentionally exposed hand-stitching.
Polish painter Ewa Juszkiewicz, known for her striking and surrealist works, including the 2021 piece “Ginger Locks,” translates her artistry onto the Capucines through highdefinition printing, accentuated by a string of golden pearls.
The Franco-Serbian artistic duo Tursic & Mille infuse their fascination with contemporary image overload and recontextualization into their Capucines design, transforming the bag into their signature flower shape and adorning it with an opulent embroidered version of their 2021 painting “Tenderness.” On the inside, the Capucines is lined with leather depicting a mesmerizing print of painted coral-bell flowers, charmingly known as the “painter’s despair” or desepoir du peintre. And for a small surprise, beneath the flap is an embroidered cartoon dinosaur, a character that made its debut in the artists’ 2022 work, “The Souvenir with Dinosaur and Owl.”
American artist Liza Lou was greatly inspired by the classic Capucines BB. Renowned for her intricate beadwork, Lou intricately embosses soft leather, which is then delicately printed in pastel hues and enveloped around the Capucines bag, creating a sculptural second skin without sacrificing the bag’s signature design.
Chinese artist Ziping Wang crafts the smallest bag in the collection, a mini Artycapucines, featuring leather patchwork and marquetry adorned with a kaleidoscopic patchwork of leather and enamel, revealing a wild tapestry of textures and colors. Lovingly dubbed “Sweet Tooth,” Wang’s Capucines continues her exploration of candycolored, pop-culture aesthetics with boundless creativity.
EACH NEW ARTYCAPUCINES MASTERPIECE WILL BE AVAILABLE IN LIMITED EDITIONS OF 200, AND ARE SET TO DEBUT GLOBALLY ON OCTOBER 12.
For the Chanel Cruise 2023/24 collection, Virginie Viard fashioned a dream. A collection teeming with so many playful yet elegant design motifs, Chanel Cruise 2023/24 dances through the decades, embracing the poise of the 1920s and 30s while also grooving to the beat of the 1970s and 80s. “Between a tribute to the glamour of great film stars and evoking the world of fun to be had with aerobics, sports, and roller skating, between the dream on the one hand and what you want to wear on the other, it’s all a question of balance,” notes Viard. From whimsical prints and an array of textures to ladylike and sporty silhouettes, the Chanel Cruise 2023/24 collection is the ultimate fantasy.

INTRODUCING THE BRAND-NEW DIOR SPA AT THE HÔTEL PLAZA ATHÉNÉE, THE EPITOME OF WELLNESS, ELEGANCE, AND LUXURY.
BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE PHOTOGRAPHY MATTHIEU SALVAING FOR PARFUMS CHRISTIAN DIORThis autumn, Dior unveils its newly designed spa at the Hôtel Plaza Athénée, revealing the ultimate Parisian haven for wellness and beauty. This collaboration between two iconic houses is steeped in a shared history and a profound love for Paris. Situated at 25 Avenue Montaigne, the Hôtel Plaza Athénée has embodied authentic Parisian chic for over a century, and in 1946, it became a neighbor to the House of Dior. Over the years, the realms of luxury fashion, beauty, and hospitality began to intertwine, giving rise to the concept of Dior’s inaugural spa in partnership with Plaza Athénée in 2008. Today, the 400-square-meter sanctuary has undergone a remarkable transformation, ushering the spa into a new era of luxury, with a focus on the art of holistic well-being.
The reimagined spa is a breath of fresh air, characterized by warm tones and natural materials like stone and light wood, creating an atmosphere of serenity. Guests are instantly immersed in the tranquil retreat of the Dior Spa as they enter the Le Grande Salon reception area and boutique, showcasing La Collection Privée Christian Dior’s signature scents and exclusive Dior Spa products. The spa itself boasts a sauna, steam room, five single treatment rooms, and one double treatment room.
Perhaps the most noteworthy addition to the spa is the revolutionary Dior Light Suite, a treatment room that is the first of its kind among Parisian luxury hotels, inspired by light therapy. Designed in partnership with Lucibel, the suite features the “Cronos Light” LED ceiling that replicates natural sunlight in three intensities: energizing, relaxing, or restorative. This allows guests to resynchronize their circadian and chronobiological rhythms, rebalancing the skin and body — especially beneficial when combating jet lag.
Beyond its state-of-the-art innovations, the Dior Spa Plaza Athénée offers a tailor-made menu of bespoke treatments exclusive to the hotel. This includes the Dior Privé Sur-Demande Treatment, which combines electrostimulation and cryotherapy for the face or body, providing the ultimate detox experience. Additionally, the spa offers exclusive tools like the Dior Sapphire Crystal MicroAbrasion and the Waves 21 machine.
As Christian Dior once said, “Elegance is a whole, and what is not seen counts as much as what is seen.” Undoubtedly, the new Dior Spa Plaza Athénée cultivates this sentiment, offering a sensory journey to enhance one’s well-being while standing as the pinnacle of Parisian excellence.
“Elegance is a whole, and what is not seen, counts as much as what is seen.”

PRIORITIZING YOUR WELL-BEING IS AN EVERYDAY ENDEAVOR. AND WHO could offer better insight into wellness than our Haute Beauty/MD experts? Here, they graciously share the wholesome practices they have acquired over time, allowing them to sustain a harmonious life balance. Be sure to take note. Now is the time to embark on your own holistic wellness journey.
DR. BRIAN K. MACHIDA | FACE | LOS ANGELES, CA
My commitment to my family always takes precedence in my life. While maintaining an exercise routine would certainly be nice, my family is a priority. Additionally, [as I am] rooted in my Christian faith, I pursue my studies and engage in volunteer work to keep my life and priorities balanced.
DR. AMIR MORTAZAVI | MEDICAL SPA | ORANGE COUNTY, CA
Prioritizing self-care amid life’s challenges is crucial. While internal dialogue often pushes us to multitask, [it’s important to] set boundaries. [By] overcoming personal struggles, I’ve found ways to enhance well-being: setting adaptable goals, disconnecting from technology, delegating tasks, and embracing continuous learning. Monitoring self-talk, shifting negativity to encouragement, and regularly assessing balance all help maintain equilibrium. Customizing strategies is vital, as balance is individual and evolving. Most importantly, reshaping our inner voice with positive self-talk is key.
DR. DINA D. STRACHAN | SKIN | MIDTOWN, NY
Wellness is a long-term game. It’s about returning to the foundations of diet, sleep, exercise, and community. I have started intermittent fasting, which works well for me. I am mindful not to consume excess sugar and alcohol. I’ve been a vegetarian for decades. I have been more intentional about getting 7-8 hours of sleep per night, even if I’m not always successful. Living in New York City makes it easy to be active and have a community.
Wellness has always been a top priority, although the path of medicine often derails or limits the ability to [prioritize] wellness as I imagine. However, outdoor running is a frequent practice that keeps me balanced both physically and mentally. Sunday mornings are ideal. Another major aspect of my journey is only consuming water — no alcohol or soda. Pairing [this] with exercise presents a sense of calmness and clarity. This simple living practice is my lifelong mental health therapy.
Maintaining balance is crucial for busy entrepreneurs and moms. It’s tough, and sometimes we lose track. Remember, it’s okay to falter — simply regroup. Tomorrow brings a fresh start. A set routine for exercise and selfcare works wonders. Just like appointments, schedule them in. Yoga and
meditation boost mental well-being, even while traveling. Prioritize selfcare; it’s not selfish. When you’re at your best, you can conquer busy days with energy and a smile on your face.
DR. MARA WEINSTEIN VELEZ | SKIN | ROCHESTER, NY
Wellness varies for all. [A good regimen might include] walks, fitness classes, healthy eating, or therapy. Regardless, prioritize yourself. For me, it’s girlfriend time, family walks, and regular skincare and treatments to maintain my skin. As a board-certified dermatologist, I enhance patients’ wellness by addressing skin concerns, boosting self-esteem. And, of course, I prioritize my own skin health, too.
DR. THOMAS MCNMEAR | FACE | SAN FRANCISCO, CA
Prioritizing my health empowers me to better care for my family and patients. A structured routine is key — sleep, early morning meditation, prayer, and preparation. Nurturing my mental well-being involves moments with family, bonds within my church community, and my unwavering faith — bolstered by a dose of comedic relief during leisure. My physical health thrives on nourishing foods, a low-sugar diet, family-oriented activities, sauna sessions, and an array of diverse pursuits such as golf, jogging, skiing, and tennis. Walking our spirited black Portuguese water dog and lively apricot standard poodle with my wife adds to our invigorating routine. Through these practices, I am empowered. Amid life’s demands, setting aside time for loved ones and treasured activities remains paramount.
JAMIE CARUSO CEO & FOUNDER, SALON LUSSO OF NAPLES | DAY SPA | NAPLES, FL
Wellness and mental health are vital in my daily life. At 5 a.m., I begin with cold water, skipping phone use for an hour. Meditation outdoors or in my office follows, alongside goal-setting and visualization. I edit a life script and read ten pages of a book. Then, I tackle work, emails, and calendar checks. I prioritize whole foods, hydration, and minimize alcohol/sugar. This routine empowers a fulfilling, healthy life, emphasizing mental well-being and overall wellness.
I’ve found that even my hobbies and work blend — I suppose that’s what happens when you really love your job! I’m a very creative person and have always loved to sculpt. When I got to medical school and became interested in facial anatomy, I realized I could make a career out of sculpting faces. Outside of art, nothing beats staying active with my family. My kids are accomplished in martial arts, and my wife and I love it, too. We also enjoy playing tennis together; I picked it up recently and discovered it’s a great way to keep my hand-eye coordination razor-sharp.
Regular exercise, balanced nutrition, sufficient sleep, and stress-management techniques like mindfulness and meditation have helped me maintain my physical and mental well-being. Engaging in hobbies, spending quality time with loved ones, and seeking social support also play vital roles in my life. Setting realistic goals, managing time effectively, and practicing self-care balances life. Continuous learning stimulates cognitive well-being. Regular check-ins and adjusting your strategies sustain holistic wellness.
First, prioritize sleep. Second, focus on balanced nutrition with whole, nutrient-rich foods; limit sugar and processed items to fuel [the] body and mind. Third, include non-negotiable exercise, whether [it’s] a morning run or [a] quick yoga [class], to manage stress and boost energy. Fourth, mind your mental health with meditation and deep breathing. Lastly, treasure and cultivate relationships beyond work: quality time with loved ones offers fulfillment and crucial support during challenges.
Numerous small habits can significantly contribute to elevating your overall well-being and nurturing your mental health. At Refine Health, we favor maintaining self-consistency and prioritizing discipline over fleeting gratification. This entails embracing daily sunlight exposure, benefiting from IV therapy, tending to your oral vitamin regimen in the comfort of your home, and engaging in a workout routine 4-5 times a week. Incorporate daily stretches, especially post-exercise; consider performing them within a sauna environment for relaxation and muscle relief.
Throughout my life, I’ve embraced various activities, from martial arts [and] sports [to] weightlifting. As I grew older and wiser, I started to realize that focusing only on my body provided only a limited perspective on holistic well-being. Over the past two decades, I’ve dedicated myself to personal growth and leadership, focusing on self-guided reading, and recently, coaching.
Over the past year, I’ve come to understand the power of working on the mind. I also experienced an awakening that has significantly enhanced my overall state of mind — achievements that physical activity alone couldn’t provide. My routine starts at 5 a.m. with spiritual awakening, breathwork, and body alignment. Dual martial arts sessions and bodywork fill my days. This lifelong journey has evolved into holistic self-improvement — integrating mind, body, and soul.
To me, wellness is a state in which I feel well-balanced in my mental, physical, and spiritual mind. It includes doing things I love, like my job and seeing friends, as well as taking care of my body, being aware of how I nourish it, and taking care of my mind. Some practices I’ve included recently are meditation and journaling. In January 2023, I started using a guided meditation app, just five- to 10-minute meditations every morning. I gradually increased the length of time and started meditating on my own without guidance. I have seen a noticeable change in my state of ease and overall wellness.
As a healthcare provider, I recognize the importance of prioritizing one’s overall wellness and mental health. This is a continuous process that I personally strive to maintain, not just during a specific month, but throughout the entire year.
My approach to wellness is driven by key practices: regular exercise, a balanced diet, quality sleep, mindfulness, and work-life balance. These strategies keep me on track. Effective time management, healthy boundaries, self-care, regular health check-ups, and a strong support system are my practical tools for maintaining balance. Remember, maintaining a healthy balance in life is a journey, not a destination. It’s about making small, sustainable changes that add up over time.
Prioritizing wellness and mental health is a lifelong commitment.
Recognizing the importance of my own well-being in providing quality care to patients, I make time to take care of myself. I understand that self-care is not selfish; it’s an essential component of a healthy work-life balance.
My journey prioritizing wellness underscores self-care’s significance for healthcare professionals. Strategies like time management, exercise, mindfulness, and boundaries bring balance, enhancing well-being and patient care. Investing in ourselves makes us better caregivers and individuals for the rest of our lives.
Wellness is something I focus on throughout the year. Plastic surgery can be physically and emotionally taxing. Exercise, such as paddle boarding with my dog, Roxy, bike riding, and traveling with my family are ways I keep myself fit. In terms of mental health, I surround myself with positive people, make sure I get a daily dose of laughter, and focus on the positive blessings I continue to receive in my personal and professional life.
Wellness is a holistic concept and varies from person to person. Listen to your body, pay attention to your needs, and adjust your routine as necessary. Regular self-check-ins and international choices lead to a fulfilling life. My strategies: regular exercise, healthy diet, adequate sleep, engaging in hobbies, and practicing gratitude. Your journey’s key is finding what works best for you.
Mental health is by far the most critical component of my abilities as a physician. My job is to give patients my utmost dedication to their overall health, and that starts with prioritizing my own mental wellness. If you pour from an empty cup, you won’t be able to satisfy the demands of those depending on [it]. For me personally, the key factors in my balance come from exercise, meditation, and spending time with loved ones and friends.
It’s important that overall physical and mental wellness become a lifestyle rather than a short-term goal. I strongly believe staying active, regardless of method, is vital for health and longevity. Whether it’s cardio, strength training, or stretching, I believe sweating at least three times a week is paramount to a healthy lifestyle.
As a plastic surgeon in New York City, I value wellness and mental health amidst a busy life. Strategies that help me maintain a healthy balance include regular exercise, exploring New York’s diverse culinary scene while making mindful choices, and connecting with friends or attending cultural events.
With this, I set clear boundaries for work and personal time, allocating moments throughout the day for relaxation and reflection. Prioritizing sleep and practicing mindfulness techniques, seeking professional development, and engaging in philanthropic activities fosters a sense of purpose. By integrating these strategies, I ensure that my overall wellness and mental health remain steadfast throughout the year.
DR. HUSAM ALMUNAJED | SMILE | NEW YORK, NY
Balancing work and life is an obstacle, both personally and professionally. As I grow older, I realize stress stems from pressure and the uncontrollable. Manage and embrace them with readiness and experience. Nurture a mindset that’s unshaken by the externals. Prioritize your well-being for life’s rollercoaster, even amid work-life balance.
REANA MYERS PA, CAREAGA PLASTIC SURGERY | BODY | MIAMI, FL
Year-round, I focus on my mental health and overall well-being. I swear by three pillars: eating well, staying active, and getting good sleep. I also prioritize personal time by enjoying related activities, and when I need a boost, traveling does the trick. These habits are my constant for a balanced life.
DR. BRIAN LEVINE | FERTILITY | NEW YORK, NY
Being a physician can be a busy and demanding profession, leaving little time for anything else. However, as a busy doctor, you must balance your work responsibilities with your personal life to avoid burnout and maintain a healthy work-life balance. As a parent, it can be especially challenging when you’re trying to balance work with your family’s needs.
Busy doctors can manage work and family while caring for themselves by crafting a practical work schedule, prioritizing self-care, utilizing technology to stay linked, seeking support when needed, and focusing on essentials.

“Trapezius Botox,” known as TrapTox, typically refers to the use of neuromodulator injections like Botox/Dysport to treat the trapezius muscle, a large muscle located in the upper back and neck area. When a neuromodulator is injected into the trapezius muscle, it can temporarily block nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. This can help relax the muscle and reduce muscle tension, which may be beneficial for individuals experiencing debilitating health conditions, such as chronic neck pain, tension headaches, or myofascial pain syndrome. TrapTox has also been used for cosmetic concerns to help achieve a longer-looking neck and slimmer shoulders.
It’s important to note that the use of Botox for trapezius muscle conditions is considered an off-label use, meaning it is not FDA-approved specifically for this purpose. It’s crucial to consult with a qualified healthcare professional who has experience with Botox treatments to determine if this approach is suitable for your specific condition and to discuss the potential risks and benefits involved.
What are the most common causes of neck pain?
If you are an individual who spends long hours in front of a computer or looking down at your phone, it is common for you to experience neck pain. Between muscle strain, poor posture, stress, and tension, your shoulders are crying for help. Other causes include arthritis, accidents, trauma, herniated disks, and more.
You are a great candidate for TrapTox if you meet the following criteria:
• You suffer from neck and shoulder pain.
• You have tenderness in your shoulders especially when touched.
• You are too busy for multiple physical therapy sessions.
• You are looking for fast relief.
• You are looking for a cosmetic improvement in your shoulders, and hoping to feel more confident wearing strapless clothing.
The Pros of TrapTox
• Muscle Relaxation: It leads to a reduction in muscle tension, stiffness, and pain — providing great relief from muscle pain.
• Targeted Treatment: Botox injections target and relieve trapezius muscle pain without systemic side effects common with oral medications like NSAIDs, muscle relaxers, or narcotics.
• Non-invasive: There are no incisions or anesthesia required, making it a less invasive option with zero downtime.
• Long-lasting Effects: Relief can last for several months. The effects usually peak within two to four weeks after the injections and can last for three to six months, depending on individual factors.
• Improved Quality of Life: Chronic trapezius muscle pain can significantly impact a person’s daily activities, work productivity, and overall quality of life. Botox injections may help alleviate pain and discomfort.
• Complementary to Other Therapies: Botox injections can be used in conjunction with other therapies, such as physical therapy, stretching exercises, cupping, or massage to enhance overall effectiveness and improve muscle function.
• Minimized or Eliminate Dependency on Medication: For individuals relying on pain medications to manage trapezius muscle pain, Botox injections may provide an alternative that reduces the need for oral medications or nerve blocks and their associated side effects.
• It’s Super Quick: In the hands of an expert like Dr. Avaliani, it takes less than two minutes to inject both shoulders.
The Cons of TrapTox
• Temporary Relief: The effects of Botox injections are not permanent. While they can provide relief from trapezius muscle pain for several months, the effects are temporary.
• Potential Side Effects: Common side effects may include bruising, redness, swelling, or mild discomfort at the injection site.
• Allergic Reactions: While rare, some individuals may experience allergic reactions to Botox.
• Cost: In some cases, insurance does not cover the cost of Botox injections for trapezius muscle pain, considering it an off-label use.
• Discomfort During Injections: The process of receiving Botox injections can cause mild discomfort or a brief stinging sensation at the injection site.
• Potential for Incomplete Pain Relief: While Botox can help relax the trapezius muscle and reduce pain, it may not completely eliminate all pain or address underlying issues contributing to the pain.
• Alternative Treatment Options: Some individuals may prefer or respond better to alternative therapies, such as physical therapy, massage, heat therapy, or oral pain medications.
• Risk of Incorrect Injection: Proper administration of Botox injections is critical to achieving the desired results and avoiding potential complications. It’s essential to receive Botox treatments from a qualified and experienced healthcare professional.
• Potential for Muscle Weakness: Botox may cause temporary muscle weakness in the treated area, requiring careful monitoring during recovery.

A. Lange & Söhne unveils two masterpieces: the Lange 1 Time Zone and the 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar.
BY ADRIENNE FAUROTEIN JULY, A. LANGE & SÖHNE INTRODUCED UPDATES TO TWO of its most intricate timepieces: the Lange 1 Time Zone and the 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar. These watches epitomize the brand’s expertise in seamlessly blending sophisticated features with timeless design, offering watch enthusiasts a harmonious fusion of functionality and elegance in true A. Lange & Söhne fashion.
First, the Lange 1 Time Zone boasts one of precision watchmaking’s most valuable additional functions — the simultaneous display of two time zones. This feature has garnered admiration from the industry since its introduction in 2005. This complication was given a distinct face in the Lange 1 Time Zone, where, in addition to the home time, it showcased the time in a second zone through a clever selection of cities representing 24 different time zones. In its second generation, unveiled in 2020, the model welcomed the new manufacture caliber L141.1, featuring an intuitive indication of daylight saving time, further elevating the watch’s functionality. Now, the latest edition of the Lange 1 Time Zone comes in a 950-platinum case paired with a rhodium-colored solid silver dial, which is a classic appearance that’s a first for this mode — joining the existing models in white gold/black and pink gold/argenté case/dial combinations.
On the dial, the larger time circle indicates the home time, while the smaller time circle displays the time in the second time zone. A corrector button at 8 o’clock shifts the city ring eastward by one time zone, and simultaneously, the hour hand in the small subsidiary dial moves one hour forward, indicating the zone time of the selected city. A color segment in the arrow indicates whether the selected city and time zone observe daylight saving time, which is displayed in red, or standard time, indicated by an unchanged background.
To distinguish between day and night in both time zones, the Lange 1 Time Zone incorporates colored ring-shaped day/night indicators linked to the hour hands. Positioned in the center of each time circle, these indicators inform the wearer whether the respective time indication is valid for the first or second half of the day — dial-colored for the interval between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. and blue for the interval between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.
Notably, the Lange 1 Time Zone features a unique synchronization mechanism that allows the zone time to be transferred from the smaller subsidiary dial to the larger one, enabling the definition of a new main time as home time. By pulling the crown into the second position, both time zones can be adjusted synchronously. When the time zone correction button is pressed and held, the hour hand of the zone time dial is stopped, allowing the setting of the defined new main time independently of the zone time. Finally, the outsize date, which is linked with the main time, can be corrected by actuating the date correction button at 10 o’clock.
The beating heart of the Lange 1 Time Zone is the manufacture caliber L141.1, ensuring an impressive power reserve of 72 hours with only one mainspring barrel. Other technical highlights include a classic screw balance and a freely oscillating balance spring crafted in-house and calibrated to a frequency of 21,600 semi-oscillations per hour. A glimpse through the sapphire-crystal caseback reveals Lange-typical quality hallmarks, such as the three-quarter plate made of untreated German silver, screwed gold chatons, and blue screws, among others.
For Wilhelm Schmid, the CEO of A. Lange & Söhne, the Lange 1 Time Zone exemplifies the manufactory’s relentless pursuit of challenging conventions and achieving excellence in precision watchmaking through innovative advancements and constructions.
Next is the 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar: a threefold complication, twofold assembly, and one-of-a-kind A. Lange & Söhne. The 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar showcases the rare and ambitious combination of a split-seconds or rattrapante chronograph with a perpetual calendar, now presented in an 18-karat white gold case paired with a captivating pink-gold dial, limited to just 100 pieces.
Introduced in 2013, the 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar marked a significant milestone in the history of the brand. This timepiece, equipped with a specially developed movement, seamlessly combines three of the most complex complications — a rare configuration in watchmaking.
At its heart lies the rattrapante function, a horological challenge allowing for the measurement of intermediate times, comparative times, and the determination of minimum and maximum values within a minute. The precision is enhanced by the manufacture caliber L101.1, featuring a balance wheel beating at six semi-oscillations per second. The perpetual calendar, the
second remarkable feature, requires minimal adjustments and remains accurate for decades, requiring correction only on March 1, 2100, when a leap year will be skipped.
With an 18-karat, pink-gold dial featuring a traditional railwaytrack minute scale, Arabic numerals, and harmoniously arranged subsidiary dials, this timepiece captures the essence of the Lange watch family named after the birth year of Ferdinand Adolph Lange. The meticulously decorated manually wound movement L101.1 is a marvel, comprising 631 individual parts. The perpetual calendar alone requires 211 components, while the rattrapantechronograph mechanism demands an additional 206.
The 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar is offered in three versions, each boasting the same impressive dimensions — a case diameter of 41.9 millimeters and a height of 14.7 millimeters. The new white-gold case with a pink-gold dial, limited to 100 pieces, joins the existing models in platinum/argenté and pink-gold/ argenté case/dial combinations.
Richard Mille releases its most complicated wristwatch, the RM 65-01, in a brand new colorway.
BY ADRIENNE FAUROTERICHARD MILLE HAS ONCE AGAIN CAPTIVATED THE horological world with the exceptional RM 65-01 Automatic Winding Split-Seconds Chronograph — but this time, in a new sleek Grey Quartz TPT®. This latest iteration of their innovative creation signifies a bold departure from convention, showcasing a harmonious blend of cuttingedge technology and a captivating aesthetic that feels lighter and fresher.
The RM 65-01 stands as a testament to Richard Mille’s dedication to pushing the envelope of timekeeping innovation. Comprising an array of additional functions, such as a function selector, rapid winding mechanism, and distinctive architecture, the RM 65-01 represents the culmination of technical expertise and precision engineering. Now, with the Grey Quartz TPT® variant, the watch brand introduces a new chapter of contemporary expression to its most complex creation.
The Grey Quartz TPT® coating adorning the RM 65-01 embodies the essence of modern sophistication. The unique light shade, meticulously developed through months of research and development, is a reminder of Richard Mille’s unwavering commitment to both beauty and compliance within industry standards, such as
the REACH norms. Encased within the 44-millimeter chronograph case, a meticulously color-coded display showcases a thoughtful design approach aimed at eliminating any possible confusion. Each pusher corresponds to a specific function, enhancing usability. The color palette also plays a pivotal role: light blue accents adorn the hour and minute markers, as well as the small seconds positioned at 6 o’clock. Classic blue takes center stage in highlighting the date display. Vibrant orange indicates the sweep seconds hand of the chronograph, as well as the 30-minute and 12-hour totalizers. The winding mechanism is associated with a vivid shade of yellow, while the split-seconds hand stands out in a regal hue of purple.
The incorporation of Quartz TPT® material showcases the brand’s ability to seamlessly blend technology, appearance, and performance. For the ultimate sleek grey finish, the RM 65-01 is completed with a satin-finished titanium crown that has been micro-blasted and polished. The RM 65-01 is a true marvel, perfectly combining haute horology with a bold and contemporary design, and this colorway is the perfect way to usher in the new autumn season.
GRAND SEIKO — IN A VERY NONCHALANT MANNER — unveiled three haute new timepieces within their Heritage Collection, and each model has quite the origin story. Drawing inspiration from the katana, a Japanese sword characterized by a curved, single-edged blade, Grand Seiko pays homage to this art form by introducing three U.S.exclusive models. Originating as a fusion of nature and craftsmanship, the katana’s raw elements — earth, fire, water, and air — are transformed into tamahagane (precious)
Japanese steel through a meticulous process. The three new timepieces echo the katana’s strength, tenacity, and elegance in their design and technical prowess. Crafting a katana involves meticulous forging, heating, folding, and quenching. Similarly, Grand Seiko’s Zaratsu polishing technique, used to shape the 44GS design, requires skilled hands to achieve the perfect mirror finish — drawing a parallel in craftsmanship to both the katana and the watch case. The SBGA489 model’s black dial is an homage to the hardness and allure of kawagane — the high carbon steel used in the outer sharp edge of the katana — while the SBGA491’s dark green dial symbolizes the resilience and strength of shingane, the blade’s inner core. Both models evoke the unique texture of tamahagane and the distinctive patterns of traditional katana swords.
A limited edition of 500, the SBGA493 pays tribute to the forger’s spirit, expressing the determination and fiery energy required to craft the blade. The deep red dial with yellow gold-toned accents mirrors the heated blade’s intense forging process, while its pattern recalls the sparks that fly as the hammer strikes the blade.
Measuring 40 millimeters in diameter, 12.5 millimeters in thickness, and 46.2 millimeters in length, all three models feature a stainless steel bracelet with a three-fold clasp, dual curve sapphire crystal, and an exhibition case back showcasing the Spring Drive Automatic Caliber 9R65. With a power reserve of 72 hours, 30 jewels, and an accuracy of ±1 second per day (±15 seconds per month), caliber 9R65 ensures exceptional timekeeping performance.
OMEGA launches the Seamaster Diver 300M “Paris 2024” Special Edition one year before the Summer Olympic Games.
BY ADRIENNE FAUROTEWITH EXACTLY ONE YEAR UNTIL THE OPENING CEREMONY of the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris, the world is gearing up for the historic sporting event. As the Official Timekeeper for the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad, OMEGA is celebrating the countdown with a striking new timepiece — the Seamaster Diver 300M “Paris 2024” Special Edition, a tribute to the momentous occasion.

The 42-millimeter timepiece is a blend of stainless steel and OMEGA’s signature 18K Moonshine™ Gold — a yellow gold alloy known for its subtle hue and high resistance to fading. The use of gold on the watch’s bezel pays homage to the coveted medals that athletes strive to achieve. The bezel features a laserstructured diving scale in positive relief, accentuated by a single dot of Super-LumiNova at 12 o’clock for enhanced visibility. The dial of the Seamaster Diver 300M “Paris 2024” Special Edition is laser-engraved in white ceramic with a matte finish and polished waves in positive relief. The date display at 6 o’clock cleverly incorporates the Paris 2024 typography in black, while the central seconds hand proudly carries the Paris 2024 emblem.
On the flip side, the commemorative caseback is adorned with an inlayed 18K Moonshine™ Gold medallion showcasing the distinctive element of the Paris 2024 emblem against a laser-ablated background. Stamped words “Paris 2024” and the iconic Olympic rings in stainless steel, polished on a frosted structure, complete the emblematic design. As expected from OMEGA, the Seamaster Diver 300M “Paris 2024” Special Edition is equipped with the Co-Axial Master Chronometer 8800 movement, thoroughly tested and certified by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS) to ensure the highest standards of precision and performance.
The watch is fitted with a stainless-steel bracelet with OMEGA’s patented Quick Change System, allowing wearers to effortlessly switch to a Quick Change rubber strap in blue, white, or red, or even a dedicated Paris 2024 NATO Strap for a more personal touch. As we eagerly await the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, OMEGA’s commitment to timekeeping excellence and athletic precision remains unwavering. The brand’s legacy of over 90 years in sports measurement has captured the dreams of the world’s best athletes, and we can only imagine the great moments in time that will be recorded during this thrilling season.
THE MONTEREY PENINSULA HAS BECOME A SACRED GROUND FOR automotive enthusiasts, especially since the inception of the Pebble Beach Road Race in 1950.

The pinnacle was reached when the 1937 Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster was crowned the Best of Show, with owner Jim Patterson receiving a specially engraved Oyster Perpetual Datejust 36 to acknowledge his dedication to classic car preservation.
Tom Kristensen, the record-breaking nine-time winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans and Rolex Testimonee, served as an honorary judge at the Concours, emphasizing the precision, authenticity, and passion that
culminate in a triumphant moment at Pebble Beach. Kristensen lauds the Rolex reward as a timeless reminder of the devotion poured into the process. Another notable event, the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, held at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca from Aug. 16 to 19, showcased over 400 historic racing cars, embodying almost a century of motorsport heritage. The event commemorated Corvette’s 70th anniversary and paid tribute to the centenary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. As engines roared and flags waved, the Reunion underlined the dedication of participants who meticulously fine-tune these classic machines, ensuring their racing legacy endures.
At The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, marques united on the Quail Lodge and Golf Club’s pristine lawns to unveil the cars of tomorrow, celebrating its 20th anniversary. Over 200 culturally significant vehicles took center stage, and the 1956 Ferrari 410 Superamerica “Super Fast” earned the Rolex Best of Show title, joining the 2023 Rolex Circle of Champions. Jenson Button, 2009 FIA Formula 1® Drivers’ World Champion and Rolex Testimonee, attested to the event’s splendor, the juxtaposition of old and new, and Rolex’s appreciation for heritage and innovation.
Rolex’s relationship with motorsport spans decades, starting from the World Land Speed Record achievements in the 1930s to more recent partnerships with Formula 1® legends like Jackie Stewart and champions like Jenson Button, ultimately revealing the incredibly special relationship between the auto and horological industries.

Awardwinning design studio Meyer Davis (whose work includes high-profile hotels like W Rome and Etéreo, an Auberge Resort, among others) drew inspiration from Kuwait’s history as a trade port at the tip of the Persian Gulf, where various cultures converge, as well as the country’s deep love of sailing. Marine blue accents have been peppered throughout this newly built property, while draped fabrics and artwork reference the fluidity of traditional dresses like abayas, the sails of fishing boats, and the wind blowing through the desert sand. The public spaces are theatrical, though the guest rooms were designed with serenity in mind, with soothing white oak paneling. The suites are enriched by darker varieties of wood, artwork, and blue tones, and the spa has a modern, abstract aesthetic but still feels timeless and ancient.

FOUR SEASONS HOTEL CAIRO AT NILE PLAZA +
FOUR SEASONS HOTEL SHARM EL SHEIKH
There are two things that come to mind when one thinks of Egypt: the Pyramids and the Nile River. The latter is what renowned French interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon had in mind when he redesigned Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza. The stylish waterfront property along the bank of the Nile offers guests commanding views of the famous river, 12th-century Saladin Citadel, and the Great Pyramid in the distance. Calming shades reminiscent of the sand and rugged desert adorn the interior and maximize the natural light that pours in through floor-to-ceiling windows, while other natural elements are used as earth-centric décor and embellish walls, ceilings, and doorways. The organic aesthetic brightens pottery, as well as framed abstracts and landscapes of Egypt and other works made by local artists, which are featured in every room, while drawing eyes to panoramic views of felucca boats gliding over the river and the Cairo Tower illuminated by the setting sun. The hotel’s renovation of spacious guest rooms and suites on the 25th, 26th, and 27th premier floors includes embroidered fabric headboards in sand tones with built-in reading lights on signature Four Seasons bedding, as well as deeply cushioned chairs, sofas, and lounges. Make sure to pay homage to Queen Cleopatra at both the spa with the Cleopatra Ritual a luxurious milk bath with honey, rose oil, and rose petals, plus a soothing 60-minute massage — and indulge on cocktails at The Bar (one of 10 on-site F&B concepts) with Cleopatra’s Kiss, made of VSOP Cognac, crème de cacao, and sparkling wine. While in Egypt, head to Four Seasons Hotel Sharm El Sheikh — a radically different accommodation due to its location nestled between the Red Sea and desert mountain peaks — for a true Arabian fairytale. Anyone who stays in this luxurious resort, which received a multimillion-dollar expansion in 2022, is lucky, but guests who stay in The Palace, a lavish, private 6,082-square-foot suite surrounded by a fully-furnished garden with a private pool, fitness room, spa treatment room, dressing room, office space, and complete residential facilities, are truly spoiled.
