WWW.PRESS.LUXURY The Art of Time ‘Time. Nothing is longer, since it is the measure of eternity. Nothing is shorter, since it is insufficient for the accomplishment of our projects. Nothing more slow to him that expects, nothing more rapid to him that enjoys. In greatness it expends to infinity, in small ness it is infinitely divisible. All men neglect it, all regret the loss of it; noting can be done without it. It consigns to oblivion whatever is unworthy of being transmitted to posterity’, wrote Voltaire about time. It is difficult to add to the words of one of the greatest thinkers in history, and per haps needless. But one correction I shall dare. Unworthy is transmitted to posterity, alas, and is being imprinted on our cul ture, history and art, as well as mistakes and guilt for the past that is passed down for generations. We often don’t appreci ate time, our own and others’, forgetting its fleeting, ephemeral nature. Our desire to glimpse the future, to correct the erst while mistakes, to revisit a special moment captured in memory – haunts our human imagination, and the sheer abundance of stories dedicated to mastering the power of time makes the proof. However, in or der to make the right decision, one doesn’t require a miracle, I found. So long as one has the present and the chance to live it in dignity, appreciating each moment, one has more than enough resource to accom plish any project, however ambitious. Our pages are dedicated to glorifying time, captured in the fine art of watchmaking. They say that the truly happy ones seldom keep an eye on time. But keeping an eye on the dial of a luxury watch wor thy of being transmitted to posterity – isn’t it a kind of hap piness in its own right? To wear an exquisitely accomplished time piece from the best masters such as the incredibly talented team of Jacob & Co. who execute the vision of their charismatic designer Jacob Arabo – is both a luxury and a privilege, worthy of the precious time spent, but certainly never lost. When beauty becomes a feeling, it ignites hope and confidence in a brighter future ahead. And may it be prosperous to us all. 124 | EDITION

The piece mirrors the CryptoPunk in the 29 year old Twitter pro file picture. Its 3D glasses are rendered with a baguette cut sapphire and Mozambique ruby, and a yellow diamond takes the place of its ear ring. Both the Tiffany & Co. name and the NFT’s number are engraved on the reverse. Plenty of Cryptopunk holders have also expressed that they would love to have their own NFTs turned into jewellery by Tiffany & Co.

THE POLO SHIRT'S 50TH ANNIVERSARY
In 1972, Ralph Lauren began trading traditional tennis shirts as “Polo shirts”. They were part of his original Polo line. It was a bid to reproduce the classic knitted pique cotton ten nis shirt of days gone by. To celebrate the golden anniversary of its most iconic piece, the Ralph Lauren brand launched the book, which documents the ever present style and cultural importance of the Ralph Lauren Polo shirt through historic imagery and personal stories. It is set to be pub lished by Rizzoli International. With a range of twenty four colours and decorated with the iconic polo player motif the shirt has remained the most popular product of the brand for fifty years and as Lauren predicted, “it gets better with age”.
Fawaz Gruosi THE REPTILIAN RING he creative polymath Fawaz Gru osi revealed his latest high jewel lery creations.

Among the most remarkable artworks of the collection is the reptilian ring with a 15.04 carat square cut Colombian emerald, set on a ruby body. “I want to create jewellery that’s as emotional for the wearer as for the viewer,” said Fawaz Gruosi.
Ralph Lauren LE GEMME AMBERO Bvlgari Bvlgari’s Le Gemme Ambero eau de parfum is a tribute to the Phoenician god Melkart, a revered paragon of masculinity from the Spanish Levant who carried an amber shield as a symbol of power.

The warm sweet woody fragrance interprets the richness and sensuality of amber through an earthy and animalic vetiver root heart, gently warmed with a spiced accord of incense, ginger and saffron. New inspiring fragrance is designed both for men and women with a profound feeling of refinement.

ASTON MARTIN X AIRBUS
Aston Martin has teamed up with Airbus to produce its first helicopter, which is intended to fill a niche in the British firm’s ever expanding range of lu xury products. It’s essentially a re trimmed version of the Airbus ACH130 lightweight single rotor passenger heli copter, which draws on Aston Martin’s range of sports cars for styling inspiration with the air of confidence and quali ty. Beneath the ACH130’s sleek exterior there is a powerful engine: the Arriel 2D that provides up to 952 shaft horse power at take off. It hits maximum cruising speed at 134 knots, about 154.204 mph. and has a range of 643 kilome ters, almost 400 miles. Corporate helicopter will carry up to six passengers and stay in the air for up to about four hours on a full tank of fuel. The special edition helicopter has four different interior and exterior bespoke designs created by the automaker. The plaque on the instrument panel has the companies’ logos, registration and edition number. Owners can also request to have their names printed on the panel, as well. As Aston Martin’s VP and CCO Marek Reichman said: “We don’t build cars that are necessary or needed – we build cars that are desired. And, like our cars, this is tar geted at the sector of society which can afford that desire.” Wings If you’re a part of the 1% shopping for helicopter, Aston Martin and Airbus want you to have a look at this. Maybe it’s time to add something different to the garage.

BOWMORE X ASTON MARTIN ARC-52 WHISKY
A marriage of two-cask styles
An amazing duo of Bowmore and Aston Martin launched their latest collaborative whisky the Bow more ARC 52. It is a marriage of single malt matured for a remarkable 52 years in a sherry butt and an American oak ex Bourbon hogshead. This exceptionally rare Bowmore is a true masterpiece of balance; showcasing the master ful skill and commitment to consider cask maturation and management at Bowmore Distillery. A time machine, half Bowmore, half Aston Martin, travels in two directions at the same time. The spirit pushes the limits of maturation whilst the decanter showcases a cutting edge design and technolo gy. From the meticulously engineered bespoke magnetic key, which releases the aluminum top to the individually hand blown glass, this is a design on a different scale. The decanter is the symbol of a shared journey to reveal the depths of beauty and design, exploring the unknown. On the nose, the Scotch is creamy and fruity with notes of vanilla and custard cream alongside peach, pear, kumquat, mandarin, and a hint of guava with herbal notes of fresh mint and eucalyptus. The palate is sweet, fruity and citric with flavors of green grapes and peach melba, clementine, lime zest but also nutty notes of almond and hazelnuts, tobacco leaves with a slightly peaty ashy and buttery character. The finish is herbal and medicinal with exotic fruits, praline and butterscotch notes.

THEATRICAL ODE TO TOYS Thom Browne’s show in New York City
LUXURY FASHION32 124 | EDITION
Luxury Mode | Fall 2022
The dichotomy made sense, especially when Browne himself explained that the wonderful world he’d created represented the spaces in between imaginative, dreamlike states of opposition. Browne cited the Island of Misfit Toys from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer as his overall inspiration which could be seen in all the elements of the show. Five hundred teddy bears wearing Thom Browne’s iconic suits sat in little chairs at the Pavilion inside Javits Center, where the show took place. “I always feel like New York is the Island of Toys and everybody comes here to find themselves or create themselves,” Browne said. The archetypes of fashion history and their influence on American culture were omnipresent. The designer chose to take a break from his normal Paris Fashion Week schedule, and instead presented fall 2022 in New York City, to coincide with the second part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala. After all, Browne remains one of the handful of designers who still respects the theatre of a fashion show. “I wanted that to be the story,” Thom Browne stated.
Moments before Thom Browne’s fall 2022 show in New York City began, you could see models backstage with the labeled signs marked “toy” for some of them while the more reserved looks donned the word “adult.”

BALMAIN Balmain’s Creative Director Olivier Rousteing cast his show as a “collective push back against lies, hatred and aggression.” Celebrities such as Serena Williams, Madelaine Petsch, Adriana Lima and others looked on as a battalion of dancers resembling soldiers in helmet style hats put on a performance in the Le Marais venue to start the show. A quote from “The Little Prince” Antoine de Saint Exupéry was written as the backdrop: “It is much more difficult to judge yourself than to judge others.” Such a beginning gave the audience much to reflect. And while not inspired by the tragic events in Eastern Europe this collection seemed somehow fitting in the light of what is happening. The designer showed his solidarity for the people affected with a personal message before the show and on his social media account. In his collection, Balmain plays with the dichotomy between sharp, masculine looks and soft, feminine features. Shimmering gold armoured breastplates, shields and stiff gilets featured in the collection that used light colours such as white, cream and pastel as a contrast to represent honesty or truth. Lace was used alongside metal and neoprene to further this point of contrast. The designer shows pieces in classic Balmain shapes, combining the brand’s codes with pieces that appear futuristic. Rousteing highlighted the outerwear, the house is known for, sending plenty of oversized fur coats, biker jackets and chic blazers down the runway. The finale featured a selection of evening dresses and designs that had some of the motifs and codes first presented on the runway in 1945 by Pierre Balmain when creating his elegant Parisian fashion house. The Creative Director put his own twist on the designs but highlighted how these timeless elements are still very relevant today. Young French talented Olivier Rousteing holds the reins, and has injected the house with youth, opulence and a highoctane glamour loved by supermodels.

The armyBalmain Balmain clothes are created not only for a beautiful look. They are for the spiritual uplift, joy in order to make a dream a reality. “I just want women to feel great at Balmain,” says Olivier Rousteing. It is because of this unique sensation that we all want to be part of the Balmain army.
Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccioli adopted an extreme colour strategy for Valentino. Stripping the palette down to a single hue, relentlessly, he does more with less, maximizing expressive possibilities in the apparent lack of possibilities. Pink is rampant everywhere, in a total estrangement that includes the set and that is reiterated by the occasional total black and total white intermissions. Pink as a manifestation of the unconscious and a liberation from the need for realism. The accumulation of pink elements is such as to eliminate the visual shock to bring out, together, the unique character of the person, expressed by the face and the eyes, and the work on the pieces of clothing: the signs that shape them into a silhouette, the textures that give them consistency, the decorations that are part of the construction. The subtraction is, in fact, amplification, magnifying both the humans and the clothing. A variety of bodies, attitudes, and physicalities, enhanced by the monochromatic palette, bring such a vision to life. The pink went on for the silhouettes, meted out from head to toe (shod in either extremely high platform shoes, or chunky sneakers), in everything from tiny bubble dresses to long, narrow tabards, to crinoline bells; from sweeping opera coats to tailored suits and overcoats. It was also to become the “hero” for a grand finale of ostrich feathers, stately capes, and embroidery. Piccioli pairs lace tops or twisted tulle with pants as tribute to modernity, and a black silhouette beautifully is an inseparable part of the of this year fall fashion. Oversized garments remain a popular motif amongst pieces, with relaxed fit trousers paired with mesh tank tops and a hooded, floor length puff jacket. The utilitarian look is rounded out by collared box cut jackets, T shirts and lengthy peacoats. The theme of comfort is prevalent in the collection, as seen presented in hoodies and shearling bomber jackets. The house’s traditionally formal silhouettes underwent contemporary reimagination that made pieces versatile in fit for more special and even casual occasions.
VALENTINO
LUXURY FASHION36 124 | EDITION
Every look of the Valentino Pink PP Collection Fall-Winter 2022-2023 was pink, a vivid tone of fuchsia, or it was black.
Creative Direc tor’s concept Pierpaolo Piccioli claimed he’d selec ted pink - rather than Valentino red, or any other colour, to “subvert” its cultural meanings, its associa tions with girlishness, or punk, or its original one which limited its use to men (presuma bly to kings, cardinals, and popes in the renaissance).
Founded in Paris in 1906 Van Cleef & Arpels is known for creating theaters for the wrist. Due to the brilliant mastery its masterpieces seem to come alive.
It is noteworthy that the world famous brand’s latest 38 mm Lady Ar pels Heures Florales and Lady Arpels Heures Florales Cerisier stage a horological innovation first with their most complicated dials to date. It is set within an 18 karat rose or white gold case set with 244 dia monds weighing approximately 1.90 carats. The watches show the passing of time via the opening and closing of flowers. Instead of operating around the circumference of the dial, they bloom in a seemingly random pattern in a series of three different cycles. The hours are counted by the number of flowers that unfurl every hour. Since the dial is devoted entirely to the jewellery masterpiece, a lateral glass window is placed on the side of the case to read the minutes. The numbers are engraved directly into the sap phire crystal glass. A red line indicator on a rotating wheel moves between 0 and 60 before returning to the start of a new hour. A special system con trols the speed of the flower movement. They are slow to close and quick to pop open a cycle that takes up to four seconds. It may look like a simple performance, but the complex movement involved about five years of re search and development. Over the decades Van Cleef & Arpels established across the world a reputation as the excellence of the High Jewellery Mai son. And today it remains faithful to highly distinctive style characterised by poetry, refinement, creativity, artistry and sensibility.

BUBBA WATSON’S PINK DREAM
The RM 38 02 Tour billon Bubba Wat son is the fourth watch of the collection bearing the name of a multiple major champion golfer. It is produced in a numbered limited edition of 50 pieces. Watson, who’s been an ambassador for the Swiss watchmaker since 2011, has asked the brand to create a bright pink watch for years. The eye catching hue is the same colour as his sig nature driver, which he’s been using for most of his professional career. And now the pink watch is finally on his wrist. Golf is an excellent testing ground for Mille’s watches. Considering that a golf ball today undergoes an acceleration of up to 50,000 g’s, it was critical to ensure that the RM 38 02 could withstand shocks of no less than 10,000 g’s. These were all just a part of the considerations when designing the RM 38 02 but not the only one! The first watch ever to bear the Richard Mille’s name, literally and figuratively launched the millennium: the year was 2001, and the model marked the beginning of a new era in watchmaking. To day, the collection, which is more than eighty models, points resolutely towards the future, whilst holding steadfast to the time honored traditions of fine watchmaking. Richard Mille’s success is a product of three crucial elements: the best of cutting edge inno vative technology, a strong artistic and architectural dimension, and watches de signed to be robust and easy to use, yet also highly sophisticated. Each piece is finished and assembled by hand, reflecting the very best in Haute Horlogerie. Diminutive marvels of technology, painstakingly produced in limited quantities, Richard Mille timepieces are designed specifically for those with a true appreciation of fine watchmaking. This world’s famous brand has one foot in the 19th century because they are faithful to the great Swiss tradition of horology, with extremely complex movements assembled and finished by hand and the other foot in the 21st century reflecting innovative solutions. And this is one of Richard Mille’s secrets to success.

In memory of the triumphant first ascent to the summit of Western Europe’s highest mountain by Bal mat and Paccard, the gold cap ring is engraved with the date ‘8 Août 1786’. The handcrafted nib is embossed with an edelweiss flower. The High Artistry The First Ascent of the Mont Blanc Limited Edition 5 is honored to the same topic. The fountain pen unites precious metals and gemstones with skilled marquetry work in a symphony of subtle tributes to the history of alpinism on the Mont Blanc mas sif. The majesty of the mountain itself winds around the cap in an artisan marquetry work that using a colour palette of seventeen different shades and materials. The clip is a miniature replica of the two most essential tools used by the first climbers to reach the summit of Mont Blanc in 1786: the alpenstock and axe. In reference to the geo logical wonders of the Alps, the cap top is crowned with a smoky quartz that opens to reveal the treasure within: a skeletonised ‘Mont Blanc massif’ set with an approx. 2 ct. diamond above an engraving of the Montblanc emblem.

If you’re a gentleman who prefers his ultra-thin watch to be runway ready, then this list provides clarity on what micro-engineering is capable of these days. These are the timepieces where elegance meets watchmaking mastery.
3 ULTRA THIN WATCHES 2022 EXCLUSIVITY & ORIGINALITY
Caliber minimization has always been the biggest challenge for all watchmakers and hunting for superlatives has permanently been an integral part of the watch industry. Whether it is the most expensive, the fastest beating or the hardest watch in the world, watch brands just love to outdo each other in various disciplines – much to the delight of all of us watch fans out here. However, the undisputed supreme disci pline is and forever will be the height (or flatness for that matter). This is where you can see what a watch manufacturer is truly made of and whether it is – quite literally – capable of reinventing the (balance) wheel, instead of just finding ways to add even more diamonds to a case. Among the most prestigious brands Bvlgari enjoys the win ner’s laurels and offers the unprecedented solution. Once again, this renowned watchmaking brand has managed to make the hearts of enthusiasts of the extraordinary timepieces beat stronger and faster.

PIAGET ALTIPLANO ULTIMATE CONCEPT WWW.PIAGET.COM
Records are made to be broken! In just one decade, the unique Octo collection has set a new standard in the world of Haute Horlogerie with its technical prowess, iconic octagonal shape and unmistakable monochrome style. Now Bvlgaria has achieved its eighth world record with the Octo Finissimo Ultra. Made in a limited series of just ten watches, this remarkable timepiece embodies the Bvlgari mindset and its incomparable ability to continually innovate and redefine the codes of Haute Horlogerie. The world’s thinnest watch, this extraordinary creation is just 1.8 mm thick. Each of the ten owners will receive an exclusive NFT artwork, guaranteeing the authenticity of the watch and the link to its owner. The very best designed for the bests.
The Altiplano Ultimate Concept was developed entirely in-house by Piaget’s dedicated Research and Innovation division. The idea was to create a watch not formed by multiple layers, but from a previously untried fusion of re-scaled components, combining the case and movement into a whole. Piaget embarked on a journey of miniaturi sation that resulted in the filing of no fewer than five patents and that led to this 2mm-thin hand-wound watch. The Altiplano Ultimate Concept, therefore, continues the Maison’s great tradition in the art of ultra-thin watchmaking. The timepiece is extensively customisable. Buyers may specify the colour of the bridge and dial, the finish of the hands and the main plate, and select straps they prefer.

The new Aude mars Piguet Royal Oak RD#3, measuring 3.4 mm thick, combines traits of many fan-favorite Royal Oak iterations into a “greatest hits” design compilation, while pointing the way for the series with an allnew ultra-thin selfwinding flying tourbillon movement.

Each rebellious bloom is part of a garden of jewels and a display of the House’s extraordinary savoirfaire. Another highlight of the Botanica collection is the orchid; sculptural and remarkably realistic. Tiffany & Co. took inspi ration from G. Paulding Farnham’s orchid brooches created in 1889. The transformable brooch featured platinum floral petals and stem in rose and brilliant cut diamonds, and was accentuated with brush strokes of 18k yellow gold.

After two years of Covid disruption, the Cannes Film Festival returns for its 75th anniversary. During all these years, the Cannes Film Fes tival has been one of the biggest media events in the world. Being the privileged venue of both film dis coveries and encounters, the Festival reflects the dual nature of cinema: art and industry. The Festival de Cannes is happy to welcome new partner arrange ments this year: exceptional media coverage, with a creation by France Télévisions, a Campari coloured lounge at the heart of the Palais des Festivals, and a fleet of 100% electric BMWs to ferry festival goers to the red carpet. The Festival also celebrates 25 years of partnership with two faithful partners: Chopard and L’Oréal Paris. The holy grail of the Cannes Film Festival is indeed the Palme d’Or, carved by the prestigious Chopard House, which, on the occasion of the double anniver sary, has created a new interpretation of it. Two leaves of the branch are studded with diamonds: 75 on the first leaf (corresponding to the age of the festival), and 25 on the second (in honour of Cannes’ partnership with Chopard). The diamonds are sourced from sup pliers certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council. The base of the award is not made of rock crystal as in previous years, but of rose quartz, which in Greek my thology was considered to be the stone of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. Palme d’Or: Even more glamour, more initiatives, continuing success, and the most solar personalities.

For 12 days, the seaside city thrills to the passions of the 7th art. The show doesn’t only take place on the big screen at the Cannes Film Festival!
There is also the walk up the steps, which are covered with the red carpet that film personalities tread before each screening. It is a privilege to walk up them. The evening screenings, which are emblematic, attract a throng of photographers and swarms of fans who closely watch the arrival of every star.
The panel is chaired by French actor Vincent Lindon, who is accompanied by Iranian director Asghar Far hadi, British American actress and director Rebecca Hall, French director Ladj Ly, American director Jeff Nichols, Indian actress Deepika Padukone, Swedish actress Noomi Rapace, Norwegian director Joachim Trier and Italian actress and director Jasmine Trin ca. As noted by Vincent Lindon, “These nine people from different cultures and of different nationalities have one thing in common: a joy at being here. Nine people who were delighted to serve the thing they’re passionate about. It was such an intensely enjoyable experience. I feel as though we are all going home say ing to ourselves: ‘I did something really worthwhile for culture and I made people happy.’”
The jury awarded the Palme d’Or to Ruben Ostlund’s painting The Triangle of Sorrow. Zara Amir Ebrahimi (Holy Spider) won Best Actress and Song Kang Ho (The Broker) won Best Actor. The Grand Prix went to the films, Stars at Noon and Close. Park Chan wook won Best Director for The Decision to Quit, and Tariq Saleh’s Boy from Heaven won Best Screenplay. The winner in the Un Certain Regard category was the French drama The Worst. The honorary Palme d’Or was awarded to American actors Tom Cruise and Forest Whitaker. Alongside the official selection are other categories such as Quinzaine des Réalisateurs, La Semaine de la Critique and above all, the Marché du Film. “I did something really worthwhile for culture and I made people hap py.” Vincent Lindon
After 11 days of this exceptional event, the Jury of the 75th Festival de Cannes, announced its winners’ list from the 21 films presented in Competition this year.

The Film Festival in Cannes is famous not only for movies, red carpet, evening dresses and tuxedos. It always hosts the best events and parties with movie stars, celebrities, show business stars, athletes and the richest people of our planet in attendance. Over the years, these events have become unmissable for the stars, who take the opportunity to combine charity with pleasure – like the amfAR’s Cinema Against AIDS Gala. The 21st annual event held at the Hotel du Cap Eden Roc raised a record $35 mil lion for the campaign against AIDS. Or the Global Gift Foundation, supported by actress Eva Longoria, which raises funds for underprivileged children.
Among the most popular events and parties of the Cannes Film Festival one should also mention: Movies Afterparty, which takes place with the actors from the film after each premiere; Chopard Party is one of the most memorable and luxurious parties; also, the Calvin Klein Party, Louis Vuitton Fashion Show, Dom Perignon Party… and more: the Fashion TV Party at Majestic Barrière Hotel, Paul Allen’s Yacht Party (organised by Paul Allen, co owner of Microsoft, on his mega yacht Octopus), and so on. The list goes on forever… If the Festival is associated with glamour, it’s also because of the famed parties on La Croisette.

This true work of art is an epitome of fem ininity and beauty. The dazzling timepiece is the perfect expression of the brand’s jewellery expertise. Delicately crafted, the fully set case and dial conceal the mechanism – hence the mystery.

The exclusive collection unites hundreds of exceptional gems with a dial that mystifies and delights.

The centre of the dial is invisibly set with 51 Baguette Rubies. Seemingly suspended in space, the time is exquisitely unveiled by black triangle hands. The hours and minutes are counted off a mysterious dial, a subtle feature that maximises the bril liance and scintillation of the diamonds. The Brilliant Mystery Baguette dial houses a Swiss quartz movement and the time can be set with a corrector located on the case back. This exquisite timepiece is fitted with a satin bracelet and a baguette white diamonds set buckle. This refined timepiece will captivate you at first sight. Resolutely feminine, the Brilliant Mys tery Baguette is an elegant and beautiful evening watch that will ravish jewellery and horology lovers. The watch is limited to only eighteen pieces.

It started with an idea conceived by Jacob & Co. together with Bugatti – how to reproduce the visceral sensation of the iconic Bugatti 16 cylinder engine in a timepiece. After almost a full year of development, the answer is here in the form of the Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon. Everything is designed to honour the Chiron in a time piece. The case is inspired by the flowing lines of the Chiron and the movement, or “engine block”, intended to duplicate the Bugatti en gine, which is placed under a massive sapphire crystal, on display for all to see. Here’s where it gets interesting: push the right hand crown of the timepiece and the engine comes to life – the crankshaft turns and the pistons pump up and down, just like a true internal com bustion engine. Two “turbochargers” (down from four in the actual Chiron engine) on the side of the engine block spin while the engine runs, adding to the visual impact. Incredible to see and unbelievably complicated to realise (the movement comprises 578 components), the Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon timepiece has achieved something no one has ever even attempted before – to seamlessly marry engines and watches. The ground breaking Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon comes in a number of variations, including bespoke versions. Ever since the first automobiles competed for the fastest times, watches and cars have been inexorably linked. Car aficionados love watches, revelling in the mechanical precision, beauty and performance of both. In 2019, Bugatti and Jacob & Co. signed a multi year partnership to create unique, never seen before timepieces. These watches are true to the spirit of both companies, while taking watchmaking to impossible heights. To inaugurate this partnership led by performance, two timepieces were created. These watches, based on the Twin Turbo Furious and the Epic X Chrono, were directly inspired by the unique design and spirit of Bugatti

Thishypercars.year,Jacob & Co. and Bugatti are introducing new watches in the Twin Turbo Furious collection, and a completely new line – the Bugatti Chiron.
By design, the Gotham City is both a watch and a Inspiredmetaphor.by the latest iterations of DC’s Batman franchise, the Gotham City is dark, angular, pointy, edgy and muscular. The case is made of black DLC titanium. DLC is a technology that covers the metal with an array of carbon atoms mimicking that of the perfect cubic crystal structure that provides the diamond with extreme resistance to wear. As a result, the 45.5 mm case is immune to scratch ing and is as light as the Batwing. The calibre comprises 382 components, the most striking of which may be that bat bridge, but the most complex being the tourbillons. Each one of them rotates along three different axes. Each axis drives a separate cage. The first outermost axis makes a full turn in 24 seconds, the second in 48 seconds and the third – closest to the 3 Hz balance wheel – in 180 seconds. With powerful twin barrels, calibre JCFM10 is able to achieve a 48 hour power reserve. The energy left in the tank is shown on a power reserve indicator, located at 6 o’clock, between the tourbillons.
Jacob & Co. has revealed its new Gotham City luxury watch, the first offering in a previously announced multi year partnership with Warner Bros. A 45.5 mm watch filled with details and high quality materials worthy of Bruce Wayne, the Gotham City timepiece is available now in extremely limited quantities – only 72 pieces exist.
Masterpiece Collection | Luxury Style COVER STORY 65 EDITION | 124
Jacob & Co. created a series of 36 pieces in black DLC titanium (inspired by Batman) and another 36 in 18K rose gold (inspired by Batman’s secret identity, Bruce Wayne), retail of which begins at $220,000. Fitted with a hyper complicated movement with twin, fly ing, sequential, high speed, triple axis tourbillons, the Gotham City is a tribute to Batman’s crime fighting tech and the glamorous lifestyle of Bruce Wayne. The back of the watch is twofold, depending on which ver sion one considers. The black DLC model is covered with a signature drawing. On the rose gold version, the case back is made of traditional transparent sapphire and therefore opens a new perspective on the Gotham City’s mechanical nature and advanced design.

Masterpiece Collection | Luxury Style lected from hundreds of women’s timepieces for inclusion in the Ladies Complication category of the GPHG: the “Oscars” of watchmaking. This selection underscores the Fleurs de Jardin’s importance in horology. The major chal lenge that arises when crafting a rainbow watch is sourcing gemstones of the right colour. With exceptional craftsman ship at the forefront, the team of designers at Jacob & Co. are masters in sourcing and selecting stones. The 42.5 mm 18K rose gold bezel of the Rainbow is set with 40 rainbow sapphires, while the inner ring features 48 rainbow sapphires. On top of the movement there is a beautiful green, 288 facet Jacob Cut tsavorite, while the frame carrying 11 flowers with kite shaped mul ticoloured sapphires rotates clockwise around the dial once every 10 minutes. The flying tourbillon and the time display also rotate clockwise in 10 minutes. The mother of pearl base set with rainbow sapphire flowers rotates coun terclockwise in 10 minutes. There are tales of hidden treasure at the end of rainbow, but with this new watch of incredible beauty, Fleurs de Jardin from Jacob & Co., there is no need to look fur ther than your wrist.
Chronographs are very popular because they offer a very accessible complication whose standard layout is very attractive. The Epic X Chrono is purpose built, so it has a technical, sporty style with the chronograph pushers on the side of the case, the balanced bi compax dial, and the view into the movement through the mineral crystal dial. The Swiss Made automatic column wheel chrono graph movement is considered to be the top of the line, as it is sophisti cated and highly reliable. Controlled by two pushers (start/stop and reset), the seconds are counted by the cen tral chronograph hand and the minutes are clocked by the right hand subdial.

Jacob & Co. Epic X Chrono Rose Gold Every Epic X is a statement piece: a bold combination of traditional and high tech materials, exclusive and highly refined calibers and a truly Epic aesthetic that is immediately recognisable and yet remarkably versatile. The 47 mm carbon fibre case of the Epic X Chrono has a bold design, creating an X shape with the prominent lugs and then running through the case and the architectural structures within the movement. The case features an antireflective sapphire crystal, a forged carbon bezel and ceramic pushers, a screw down crown and an inner rotating bezel, controlled by the push down crown at 10 o’clock. Water resistant to 200 metres, the Epic X Chrono is a true sports watch that makes a strong statement and is designed to take anything and everything you can throw at it.

The entirely handmade Rolls Royce Boat Tail models feature impressive designs ordered by customers whose family business comes from the pearl industry. The car “creates a very personal and emotionally resonant tribute to the client’s father”. The body panels are made from vast, single sheets of aluminium to cre ate the distinctive outline inspired by the racing yachts of the early 20th century. At the onset of the commissioning process, the client presented Rolls Royce Coachbuild Designers with a selection of four pearl shells, chosen from his pri vate collection for their unique colour and complexity. The shells provided inspiration for the exteri or colour, which is one of the most complex bespoke finishes ever cre ated by Rolls Royce. The founda tion of the colour is a shimmering blend of oyster and soft rose, with large white and bronze mica flakes adding a unique pearlescent quali ty that changes subtly under different light conditions. The rear deck, which houses Boat Tail’s unique “butterfly design” hosting suite, is swathed in Royal Walnut ve neer, inlaid with rose gold plated pinstripes with a satin brushed finish. From the front, the Pantheon Grille, milled from a single, solid billet of aluminium, is graced with a Spirit of Ecstasy fashioned in rose gold. The interior is a beautifully curated combination of perfectly matched cognac and oyster coloured leathers and Royal Walnut veneer, with rose gold and mother of pearl accents throughout. The centrepiece of the dashboard is a timepiece made from mother of pearl, chosen and supplied by the client from his own collection.

After 18 years of secret development as the suc cessor to the Traction Avant, the DS 19 was in troduced on October 6, 1955 at the Paris Motor Show. In the first 15 minutes of the show, 743 orders were taken, and orders for the first day totaled 12,000. During the 10 days of the show, the DS took in 80,000 deposits; a record that had stood for over 60 years, until it was eclipsed by the Tesla Model 3 which received 180,000 first day deposits in March 2016. The incredible novel ty of that time earned the nickname “Flying Saucer” (or “Star of the show”). The Citroën DS was produced from 1955 to 1975. To France still deep in reconstruction after the devastation of World War II, and also building its identity in the post colonial world, the DS was a symbol of French ingenuity. In 1963, Citroën presented a DS as a sculpture, upright like a rocket, on a rotating platform (AutoRAI, Amsterdam). It also posited the nation’s rele vance in the Space Age. Structuralist philosopher Roland Barthes, in an essay about the car, said that it looked as if it had “fallen from the sky”. The car featured a novel hy dropneumatic suspension including an automatic leve ling system and variable ground clearance, developed

in house by Paul Magès. This suspension allowed the DS to travel quickly on the poor road surfaces common in France. The central part of the hydraulic system was the high pres sure pump, which maintained a pressure of between 130 and 150 bar in two accumulators. These accumulators were very similar in construction to the suspension spheres. One was dedicated to the front brakes, and the other ran the other hydraulic systems. (On the simpler ID models, the front brakes operated from the main accumulator.)
Thus, in case of a hydraulic failure, the first indication would be that the steering became heavy, followed by the gearbox not working; only later the brakes would fail. Two different hydraulic pumps were used. The DS used a seven cylinder axial piston pump driven off two belts and delivering 175 bar of pressure. The DS 21 for model year 1965 featured five main bearing engines with power of 109 hp. It received a substantial increase in power with the introduc tion of Bosch electronic fuel injection for 1970, making the DS one of the first mass market cars to use electronic fuel injection. Power of the carbureted version also increased slightly at the same time, owing to the employment of larger inlet valves. In September 1971 Citroën introduced a 3 speed fully automatic Borg Warner 35 transmission gear box, on the DS 21. The fully automatic transmission DS was never sold in the US market where this type of transmission gained market share so quickly that it became the majority of the market by this time. The car remained iconic through the whole history of the company.

A subtle geometric change to the Pantheon Grille makes the “RR” Badge of Honour and Spirit of Ecstasy mascot more prominent when viewed from the front. The grille itself is now illuminated, a feature debuted and popularised in Ghost.
The headlights are graced with intricate laser cut bezel starlights, creating a visual connection with the Starlight Headliner inside, and adding further surprise and delight to Phantom’s night time presence. Phantom’s side profile retains Rolls Royce’s signature short front and long rear over hang, long wheelbase and broad c pillar, the latter giving greater privacy for occupants. The silhou ette of the new masterpiece preserves the elegant key lines running from the Spirit of Ecstasy to the tapering rear tail, another hallmark of the brand. The “split belt” line begins at the front fender and curves gently towards the rear door, emphasising the long dash to axle proportions of the car, be fore falling gently towards the lantern like rear lamps. The heavily undercut “waft line” creates a strong shadow, visually signalling the unequalled “Magic Carpet Ride” of the marque. The side pro file is further enhanced with a suite of new wheels.
ROLLS-ROYCE
A 3D, milled, stainless steel wheel with triangu lar facets is available to commission in a fully or part polished finish. Phantom may be graced with a truly elegant disc wheel, recalling the ro mance of 1920’s Rolls Royce motor cars. This disc wheel is produced in both polished stainless steel and black lacquer, perfectly encapsulating the sense of flight on land. Responding to Phan tom clients who previously requested a darkened chrome grille surround, black bonnet reins, wind screen surround and side frame finishers, these may now be commissioned. This aesthetics now enables Rolls Royce to transform Phantom into the lightest of light or the darkest of dark appear ances. Phantom’s sumptuous interior remains al most unaltered: the steering wheel has been made slightly thicker, providing a more connected and immediate point of contact for the owner driver. Now, Phantom includes the debut of “Rolls Royce Connected”, which enables the owner to send an address directly to the motor car from Whispers, the Rolls Royce private members’ Application, providing seamless navigation to an event, restau rant, dealership or even the Home of Rolls Royce itself. ‘Rolls Royce Connected’ also displays the motor car location, security status and current “health” condition on Whispers.
In creating the new expression, Rolls Royce de signers and engineers have been guided by the requests of clients, who have implored Rolls Royce not to make any major changes to an al ready iconic motor car. The most obvious and important feature to be retained is Phantom’s commanding presence. This has been further en hanced by a new polished horizontal line between the daytime running lights above the Pantheon Grille. This gives Phantom a new and assertive modernity, reflecting its driver focused character.

To mark the introduction of Phantom Series II and to illustrate Rolls Royce’s Bespoke capability, the marque has created a new Bespoke masterpiece, Phantom Pla tino, named after the silver white finish of the coveted and precious metal, platinum. Its tone on tone interi or is achieved by combining two differing fabrics; one created in an Italian mill for its durable yet luxurious appearance, the other derived from bamboo fibres, se lected for its lustrous finish. Both materials share an original repeating pattern based on an abstract inter pretation of the Spirit of Ecstasy. In the silken textile, the design is smaller and woven into the fabric to cre ate a more visually stimulating finish. It also appears in Phantom’s Gallery, right in the occupant line of sight, and on key touchpoints such as the armrest and centre console. The bamboo fabric is embroidered with lar ger icons, presenting a tufted appearance commonly found in interior design. This more resilient material is placed on the lower elements of the interior where they will need to withstand most contact.
The surround of Phantom’s dashboard timepiece is made from a 3D printed ceramic, a truly contemporary execution of a traditional material. Set into an iced finish woodset, the tonal properties of the interior takes Phantom to a beautiful and unsurpassed level of opulence.

The German yacht builder Lürssen has earned an international reputation as the specialist in exclusive, bespoke yachts of outstanding engineering mastery. ALICE – a Lürssen innovative concept experience
The privately run company was founded in 1875 and remains solely in the hands of the fourth generation of the Lürssen family. Innovation has always been one of the most important driving forces in the company’s history. In 1886 Lürssen built the first motorboat of the world together with Gottlieb Daimler. It is, therefore, not surprising that Lürssen is now also building the first Lürssen yacht with fuel cell technology for a pioneering and technology driven client. The fuel cell flanks the conventional generators and represents a giant step towards launching an emission free Lürssen yacht. This innovative technology makes it possible to anchor emission free for 15 days or cruise 1000 miles at slow speed. Lürssen remains very discreet when it comes to yachts under construction or its clients. To promote the sustainable technology of the future, Lürssen has developed an innovative, climate neutral yacht model called ALICE, which shows what a Lürssen yacht might

ALICE is an emergence into a new era. Right now she remains a model, but one that paves the way. ALICE is a frac tion of reality in movement. State-of-the-art design
The yacht concept of tomorrow’s wonderland is driven by state of the art design as well as honest and heartfelt ecological responsibility. Parks and ponds transform the yacht’s deck into a natural para dise, which when combined with the living walls in the interior, cre ate a unique ecosystem on board. Nature’s crisp perfume surrounds ALICE in its own atmosphere, and teak is replaced by fast growing and lightweight organically farmed wood that meets the high standards for yachts with the same exquisite look and feel. ALICE is climate neutral. An emission free fuel cell generates electrical energy based on hydrogen reformed from green methanol. The fuel cell replaces the conventional diesel generators on board. For higher speed and energy demands, an additional methanol engine is added. Energy saving technologies, such as waste heat recovery utilisations, recover heat emissions for use within the HVAC system, for both heating and cooling pur poses. This is complemented by mirrored glass windows around the owner’s deck where reflecting the heat serves for thermal insu lation and reduces energy load of the air conditioning systems. Lürssen has always been driving developments in the field of yachting. When it comes to cli mate protection and treating our environment responsibly, Lürssen serves as a role model. With their knowhow and capacity for inno vation, Lürssen does everything to preserve our planet for future generations. Sustainable Yachting clearly makes the difference. ALICE makes the difference.

Jaeger LeCoultre’s Atmos clock collection has served as the ultimate showcase for its métiers d’art talents for decades. This one of a kind masterpiece was created for Homo Faber (Latin for “Man the Maker”), an exhibition celebrating hand craftsmanship. It was held on San Giorgio Maggiore Island in Venice. In the centre of attention of this year’s edition is Japan, which inspired Jaeger LeCoultre’s Regulateur Sakura (Cherry Blossom), one of 15 pieces in the exhibition. The clock is bordered by a duo of enameled panels that took 200 hours to create and constitutes the largest enamel work Jaeger LeCoultre has ever undertaken. Each panel was hand painted over a black grand feu enamel background. The cherry blossom theme was chosen because it’s an important Japanese motif, and has become a universal metaphor for spring, a symbol of renewal and a reminder of the fleeting nature of life and of time itself. Among other things the Regulateur Cherry Blossom is powered with a moon phase indication that will take 3,821 years to diverge from astronomical reality by one day. In other words, it will not need to be adjusted in your lifetime, or in the lifetimes of a long line of your descendants.

According to Silvio Denz, Chairman and CEO, Lalique S.A. their collaboration with Zaha Hadid began in 2014 with the creation of outstanding artworks, which marked the inception of the Crys tal Architecture collection. This collection was born of a passion for beauty, a quest for excellence, and the will to combine the expertise of Lalique’s master glassmakers with the creativity and rare talent of an architect and de signer of world renown. Zaha Hadid, Founder of Zaha Hadid Architects, was a renowned for major accom plishments like the Rosenthal Contemporary Art Centre in Cincinnati and the Canton Opera in China. She was the first woman to receive the Pritzker Prize in 2004, the equivalent of the Nobel Prize for Architecture. The part nership between this prodigious architect and Lalique Art produced three exceptional creations: the Visio and Manifesto vases, and the Fontana bowl. Fontana is made of crystal, but with its wave motif on the surface the material looks as if it is in motion. Its imposing shape and finely detailed surface contrast with an impression of fluidity and lightness. Now The Crystal Architecture by Zaha Ha did & Lalique collection is also available in fuchsia crystal.

The Macallan’s ‘Distil Your World New York’
WWW.THEMACALLAN.COM

A statement from The Macallan notes that the collabo ration is meant to embody and celebrate New York as a dynamic metropolis of art, creativity and visionary talent.
124 | EDITION
The Macallan has revealed the latest iteration in its celebrated Distil Your World series in the form of an exclusive single malt whisky that has been crafted to capture the inimitable essence of New York City. Launched in partnership with the Roca brothers (of the three Michelin starred El Celler de Can Roca restau rant), the creation of Distil Your World New York saw The Macallan’s whisky maker Polly Logan head to the Big Apple with Joan Roca to truly get under the city’s skin.
The whisky is a combination of six European and American oak casks, with Logan building on The Macallan’s signature apple notes (which were conveniently appro priate for a liquid inspired by the Big Apple) with the big, bold flavours of classic American candy, peanut brittle, chocolate, and pecans. Just 1,000 bottles are available, with each housed in a presentation box, engraved with an aerial map of the city. The box also contains a book showcasing the different inspirations behind the single malt, and its creation, alongside New York photography.
Maximilian Büsser’s passion for all sci fi things is well known and permeates almost every creation issuing from MB&F. The similari ties between music boxes and mechanical watchmaking have always fascinated Büsser, and the MusicMachine Reloaded combined MB&F’s design codes with Reuge’s high end music box talents to produce a “music box for today“. One big change is that the entire body is now made of anodized aluminium, in contrast to the wood of the original with Reuge’s. MusicMachine 1 Reloaded features two 72 note movements, which offer techni cal precision combined with the richest and purest of sounds available. The movement is luxuriously created with a satin finished and polished base plate so as to play with the lights. Like the original MusicMachine 1, it maintains its spaceship anatomy with dual propellers and sleek pontoons of landing gear, and each cylinder plays three tunes lasting 35 seconds each (Star Wars theme, “Imperial March” from The Empire Strikes Back and Star Trek theme on the left cylinder; Pink Floyd “Another Brick in the Wall”, Deep Purple “Smoke on the Water” and John Lennon “Imagine” on the right).

A story that Macellaio RC brings to the table with every dish they serve, a story made by people, people who work in respect of traditions, traditions that they follow and use to create their unique and impressive menus that today can offer a wide variety of different breeds from all over the world, thanks to the knowledge of experienced Chef of the restaurant and the connections acquired along the years.
THE LATEST MACELLAIO RC RESTAURANT: SIMPLICITY MAKES DIFFERENCE
Just around the corner from the touristy and famous Picca dilly Circus, the most theatrical street in London that is il luminated every evening by the harmonious flashing lights of the huge theatre signs, and filled with long rows of people in elegant dresses just waiting to walk that red carpet and sit in the velvet armchair in front of some of London’s finest musical per formances. Just below the sign of one of Sir Cameron Mackin tosh’s longest running shows “Les Miserable” is the entrance to the latest Macellaio RC restaurant opened by the renowned restaurateur Roberto Costa, also called “Il Teatro della Carne.”
The wide windows that allow you to see the big loins of meat dry ageing in controlled temperature cellars and regularly photographed by curious passengers, immediately hint at who is the main actor here and, as soon as you manage to stop your mouth from watering and step inside the venue, you realise what you can find in this spectacular venue. The Carrara marble chimney that hangs from the ceiling in the centre of the restaurant and accentuates the play of light reflected in the mirrors around it, caps the stylish charcoal grill where expe rienced chefs cook large cuts of meat that perfume the room. Just behind them is the butchery, which, embedded into the counter that wraps around the entire central area of the restau rant, displays large chunks of meat from all over the world as if they were jewels in a display window. The show can be pleasant ly enjoyed from one of the two floors on which the restaurant is arranged, thanks to the balcony of tables that looks down from top to bottom, or, from one of the luxurious leather stools placed in front of the marvellous marble counter that allows, not only to be mesmerized by the harmonious flames of the grill but also to taste original and creative cocktails or sip some of the world’s finest wines, as well as a very unique collection of special labels that Roberto is exclusively importing from small realities in Ita ly. But Il Teatro della Carne is only the latest of Roberto Costa’s creations, who, with great entrepreneurial spirit and passion for good quality food, has opened six branded Macellaio RC restau rants in the world’s most cosmopolitan capital since 2012, all of which have been studied and designed down to the smallest de tail to always guarantee a one of a kind experience. The South Kensington one was the first, and it has recently been renovated ready for its 10th anniversary celebration that will take place this November, followed by the great success of Clerkenwell in the beautiful residential street of Exmouth Market, where Rober to, in addition to meat, was the first to start maturing fish and, introduced the Macellaio’s menu to the running tuna with 2 3 weeks of dry ageing. A few years later he had the opportunity to open his third site in the new complex of the Union Street Arches in Southwark where he introduced two new elements of his beloved Genoese cuisine (his homeland): “Pissa” and the “focaccia al formaggio”, which immediately entered into the top favourite list of many busi nessmen who, working in huge skyscrapers surrounding the area, immediately chose Macellaio for their lunch break. In the following years, there were the openings of Northcote road Battersea and Store street Fitzrovia, two wonderful gems that once again Roberto has taken care of in every detail, gaining the respect and love of his neighbours. Attention to the product, clear structured management, motivation and training are the foundations of Roberto’s philosophy and vision, who is keen on pointing out once again that “Quality, if managed, does not cost much more than mediocrity.” A lover of wine and good food, all of Macellaio’s menus, which vary from place to place, are mouth watering, simple but never mundane, designed to accompany conversational dinners, moments among friends or important business meetings. They are based on cooking excel lent, real and high quality products, so you can savour their true taste to discover the land where they come from.

Do you focus on one particular asset class or specific business area? I decided from the outset that I didn’t want to concen trate on one class of assets only but also to take a real multi assets approach.

What can you provide to your clients that a wealth manager or any other “classical” financial institution or merchant bank cannot? My clients are all over the world. They also travel all over the world. I connect them. What they want is a secure and stable environment that is in the same time safe and comfortable. It’s a matter of trust. And this is the reason why all MNE’s clients must fill a very detailed application form beforehand. Our offices are located at the heart of Mayfair – one of the best and most pleasant neighbour hood in London, opposite the renowned Claridge’s, one of their favourite hotels in London, where they have their habits and like to stay. This is also one of the hotels we regularly choose to organize business meetings. As it’s their home turf, so to speak, and it is definitely ours as well. It makes them feel comfortable in familiar and agreeable settings. We speak the same language and have the same references. And then, the whole clients’ management is entirely done by me: a full fledged, tailor made manage ment, personalized and evaluative.

Anything can happen onboard a LÜRSSEN:
Monday to Thursday business meetings in PHOENIX2, on Friday a 6-hour executive board meeting at the company’s GLOBAL HQ, and next week the same again, jetting from one meeting to the next – always AVANTI, AVANTI!
And then finally: Vacations with my family. A week off, just us: my wife VALERIE and our kids. What a contrast, what an OASIS of peace. Our son RONIN, an ACE in sports, in the CORAL OCEAN all day long – windsurfing, wakeboarding, kitesurfing. Our daughters AMADEA and TITANIA enjoying their school holidays on board the spacious yacht, too. My wife and I, swimming in the main deck’s infinity pool, and later indulging in A+ quality dining. In the evenings, we’d go down to the cinema to watch movies, or we’d sit on deck, looking into the star-lit sky over the PACIFIC, just to wake up the next morning, pampered by the RISING SUN’s first warm beams. Tell you what – the opportunities to recharge the batteries were simply LIMITLESS!
