The Seasonal New Menu by Skyline’s Award-Winning Bar Manager Features Repurposed Ingredients & Interactive Elements Inspired by Venice.
Hilton Molino Stucky Venice, the iconic Venetian hotel and former flour mill on Giudecca island, is delighted to unveil a brand new seasonal cocktail menu at its iconic Skyline Rooftop Bar.
Available from the start of November at the highest bar in all of Venice, Skyline’s menu provides a new cocktail menu to surprise and delight every palate this autumn and winter. From cinnamon and pear blended martinis to a Campari
caviar-adorned negroni, the menu provides cocktail lovers with the ultimate way to warm up, unwind and take in the views in true dolce vita style this season.
A truly immersive experience for all the senses, the menu is the brainchild of Skyline’s new bar manager Valentina Mircea and includes a QR code to allow guests to watch the mixology team create their cocktail virtually before it is served to them. This provides
guests with the opportunity to learn more about each cocktail and to experience backstage behind the bar as patrons select their tipple of choice.
The talented team at Skyline Rooftop Bar is committed to a sustainable mixology method spearheaded by Valentina, with each cocktail created with local produce while breathing new life into used and surplus ingredients that would otherwise be discarded.
Artisan Negroni
SospiriGin|Campari|Rabitt PremiumBitter|BottegaVermouth
A unique take on the iconic Italian aperitivo, Skyline’s Artisan Negroni distils the essence of a Venetian winter’s late afternoon – early evening. Crafted with locally-made Sospiri gin, Rabbit premium bitter from Treviso and vermouth from nearby Bottega, this cocktail harnesses the finest local ingredients from across the Venetian terroir, delivering a strong, spicy and bitter profile that reflects the city’s dynamic spirit. Finished with a Campari caviar garnish that sparkles like the lights on a cold Veneto evening, the beverage is a true example of Skyline’s ‘Project Kilometre 0’, which champions using local ingredients to minimise environmental impact.
Stucky Storm
StuckyGin|Tamdhu|GingerSake| SuperLemonJuice|SugarSyrup
The Stucky Storm evokes the spirit of a Venetian winter storm with its powerful blend of Stucky Gin and smoky Chivas, softened by the
zesty punch of super lemon juice -extracted using the entirety of a lemon, ensuring zero waste and maximum flavour. Ginger sake and yuzu foam add a warming layer, reminiscent of the gardens that inspired Hilton Molino Stucky Venice’s very own gin. A bold yet refreshing cocktail that mirrors the resilience and beauty of Venice under the winter skies.
2o7 Sky
AmaroLocale207|Italicus BergamotLiqueur|HouseAgrumi Liqueur
2o7 Sky invites guests to soar above the Venetian rooftops and savour the golden glow of a sunset over the lagoon. This smooth, aromatic blend of Amaro Locale, Italicus, and Skyline’s homemade Agrumi Liqueur – made from surplus citrus fruit celebrates the city’s rich history and vibrant flavours. Crafted with a hint of citrus sweetness, the drink captures the lively essence of Venice as it transitions from day to night, much like the colours that dance across the skyline at dusk.
Glacial Martini
Calvados|Martell|Cinnamon Syrup|FreshOrange|CitricPear| DehydratedPear|RicottaCream
A tribute to Venice’s clarity and elegance, each sip of the Glacial Martini reflects the smooth waters of the city’s canals. A rich blend of Calvados and Martell is brightened by fresh orange and citric pear, creating a cocktail that is both refreshing and luxurious. A topping of dehydrated pear with ricotta cream adds a delightful and sustainable surprise; leftover cream from the martini’s clarification process is ingeniously repurposed into a zero-waste garnish.
Mystique
ReposadoAltos|VidaMezcal| CadelloAniseLiqueur|Vermouth del Professore
Inspired by Venice’s iconic masquerades, Mystique is a cocktail of mystery and allure. The smoky notes of Vida Mezcal pair perfectly with the strong, smooth base of Reposado Altos, while locally-made
Cadello anise liqueur from Treviso adds a spicy aniseed twist that lingers on the palate. Vermouth del Professore rounds out this rich, complex cocktail, evoking the hidden layers of Venice’s cultural tapestry.
Lagoon Mist
Bumbu|CampariCask|Brown Sugar|AngosturaBitters|Ariadi OrangeJuiceFoam|MixedBitter Spray
Inspired by the breath-taking spectacle of the emerald waters of the Venetian lagoon meeting the crimson hues of the morning sky, Lagoon Mist brings together the rich, smooth notes of Bumbu rum and the bittersweet complexity of Campari Cask, balanced with Angostura and brown sugar. Topped with an airy Aria di Orange juice foam, it mimics the soft mist that hovers over the canals at sunrise.
Skylight Brew
OrangeJuice|EggWhite|Citrus SugarSyrup|DilmahTea
As the dawn breaks over the Venetian skyline, painting the sky with hues of orange and gold, a new day begins to unfold. Inspired by the tranquil beauty of this moment, Skylight Brew is an alcohol-free cocktail that captures the essence of the awakening city and is the
perfect refreshment for any time of day or night.
Sunset Palette Italicus|SuperLemonJuice| NardiniBrandy|RichSugarSyrup| Eggwhite|ReciotoDelValpolicella
Inspired by the colours of the sunset, Sunset Palette is an intoxicating blend of Italicus, Nardini brandy and Recioto del Valpolicella, balanced with sugar syrup and creamy egg white. As twilight descends upon the Venetian skyline, casting a golden
glow over the ancient rooftops and winding canals, this cocktail is the perfect tipple to enjoy on the rooftop terrace to toast the end of another perfect day.
The rooftop bar at Hilton Molino Stucky Venice is a true Venice institution and is the highest bar in the city, loved by hotel guests and locals alike. With awe-inspiring views across the city of canals and the lagoon below, there’s nowhere quite like Skyline to kick back and watch the sunset, aperitivo in hand.
Nightly rates at Hilton Molino Stucky Venice begin at €240 per night based on double occupancy with breakfast included. Molino Suites start from €590 per night.
Furthering its ambition as a Maison of travel and culture, Louis Vuitton is pleased to announce the opening of a new store and a new café in collaboration with chef Cyril Lignac at London Heathrow’s Terminal 2.
Centrally located to accommodate domestic and international departures, the intimate café adjoins a new Louis Vuitton store that stands out for its exceptional, aerodynamic façade designed in collaboration with Marc Fornes. Founder of THEVERYMANY, an art and architecture studio in
New York, he collaborated with Louis Vuitton on an exceptional pavilion installation at the 2023 Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan. Here, again, the exterior design explores technology and futuristic shapes, which are at once contextual and symbolic of the Maison’s perennial inspiration of travel.
Since 2020, hospitality has become an expanding expression of savoirfaire and lifestyle for Louis Vuitton through the realisation of over 20 restaurants, cafés, chocolate shops and airport lounges that complement destinations and stores around the world. Whether Le Café V in Ginza, to the seasonal
restaurant in St. Tropez and the airport lounge at the Doha International Airport, each is uniquely conceived while evoking the Louis Vuitton experience. This latest culinary concept is the first to launch in the United Kingdom.
Entering this open, futuristic-style pavilion, travellers will discover items primarily from the women’s universe along with a selection of men’s accessories and leather goods. The café seamlessly exists within the store, featuring counter service as well as table seating. While a curvilinear, second-skin interior gives a sense of calm, the café will feel at once playful and sophisticated, offering an
environment that is welcoming and inclusive amidst the airport’s steady flow. The luminous setting is accented with orange and gold tones across the décor for a warm, lively touch. Overhead, a series of Quetzal Mobiles by atelier oï, part of the Objets Nomades collection, colourfully conjure birds in flight. Leather table mats, a table service bordered with the Monogram in gold, and vibrant Twist glasses provide a full vision of the Louis Vuitton Art de la Table.
Le Café Cyril Lignac also marks Louis Vuitton’s first collaboration with the celebrated Parisian chef, who brings a casual finesse to both classic French and international cuisine. Chef Cyril Lignac is renowned for his fusion restaurants and patisseries-chocolate boutiques in Paris, Saint-Tropez and London.
To accommodate travellers from morning through evening, Cyril Lignac has developed an exclusive, all-day dining and beverage menu that provides healthy, classic and gourmand options. Naturally, there will be Royal Eggs, along with croissant, fruit plate and avocado toast to start. In addition to Lignac signatures such as the crab salad, elevated snacks and hot dishes include a Croque Monsieur, lobster roll, beetroot salad with goat cheese, and Caesar Salad. For a sweet finish, artful Louis Vuitton patisseries and a mango Eton Mess will delight ahead of a flight.
From this gateway to the world, the excellence of Louis Vuitton and Cyril Lignac advance together as a new experience in savoir-faire and craft, a true destination within London’s Heathrow airport.
Operational details:

The 55 year-old expression – the highest age statement ever to be released by The Glenlivet – is unveiled as it marks a 200-year legacy.
The Glenlivet, the iconic Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, has unveiled a masterpiece that celebrates its excellence in whisky craftsmanship and design, embodying the originality that has defined it since its inception in 1824: The Glenlivet Eternal Collection, First Edition, 55 Year Old, in collaboration with computational architect, Michael Hansmeyer.
A true rarity, The Glenlivet’s oldest and most ambitious expression to
date comprises just 100 beautifully crafted bottles, while every aspect of the new release has been considered with meticulous attention to detail. Crafted from a seasoned sherry cask and carefully matured over more than five decades, this precious single malt offers a complex flavour profile and astonishingly long finish.
In partnership with pioneering artist, Michael Hansmeyer, the 55 Year Old single malt whisky sits within a strikingly beautiful
sculpture that takes inspiration from the home of The Glenlivet. Mirroring the eternal essence and flow of the River Livet, which is located deep in the Spey Valley where The Glenlivet was born, Hansmeyer brought his unique expertise in computational architecture to create this highly original art piece.
With hand-sculpted jesmonite and rose gold plating, the sculpture perfectly houses the spherical decanter of the 55 Year Old. In a
stunning display of contemporary modelling through computer programming, this art piece brings subtle intricacies that are testament to the craftsmanship at the heart of every creation from The Glenlivet.
Kevin Balmforth, The Glenlivet Cask Master who was responsible for directing the final maturation years of the 55 Year Old whisky, describes the taste experience as “a medley of autumn fruits, sun-drenched Seville oranges and sticky dates enveloped by the spiced warmth of cinnamon and nutmeg on the nose, alongside the sweet, warming flavours of homemade blackcurrant jam and vanilla fudge, balanced with zesty citrus notes on the palate.”
Speaking about the inspiration behind the sculpture Michael
Hansmeyer, computational architect & programmer, explained: “My work captures the intersection of architecture and the arts. It is a laboratory for experimenting with new possibilities, and that is where I saw the harmony in collaborating with The Glenlivet. Weaving threads of intelligent technologies to create something that escapes conformity and classification to celebrate such an aged whisky has been a thrill. I created this sculpture as a tribute to the complexity of The Glenlivet’s oldest expression and the rugged beauty of the distillery’s Scottish landscape, capturing the spirit of where innovation meets tradition.”
This exceptional 55 Year Old single malt is the First Edition of The Glenlivet Eternal Collection – a new range of highly collectable precious whiskies, released annually. All future releases, each taken from a single, extraordinary cask, will be aged for one additional year and will be accompanied by an original artform crafted by a new visionary artist. Together, this will create a collection to cherish.
Kevin Balmforth, The Glenlivet Cask Master added: “The 55 Year Old is the highest age Scotch ever released from The Glenlivet Distillery, and combined with the incredible talent of Michael, it tells of the timelessness of The Glenlivet. Thanks to decades of collaboration from our team of cask experts, past and present, the introduction of The Eternal Collection represents a monumental moment for whisky connoisseurs and luxury appreciators to add a pivotal piece of Scotch whisky legacy to their collection. It epitomises The Glenlivet’s commitment to excellence within Scotch innovation as we continue to push to creative new heights in single malts.”
The First Edition of The Glenlivet Eternal Collection, will be released in September 2024. The masterpiece was first unveiled during an exclusive 200 year anniversary celebration hosted at The Glenlivet’s iconic distillery in Speyside, Scotland. The Glenlivet Distillery is open for guests to explore the full portfolio from The Glenlivet and enjoy interactive visitor experiences.
In tandem with the launch of its oldest single malt, and to further honour its 200th anniversary, The Glenlivet has partnered with Sotheby’s to create a unique auction lot. A bespoke 55 Year Old single malt whisky presented with a oneof-a-kind Hansmeyer sculpture will be available exclusively at auction from 22nd October – 5th November 2024, with all proceeds to benefit National Trust for Scotland, dedicated to conserving Scotland’s natural and cultural heritage.
The Glenlivet Eternal Collection, First Edition: 55-Year-Old in collaboration with Michael Hansmeyer, will be available at The Whisky Exchange for RRP €50,000.

Viajante87, the Latin Americaninspired neighbourhood bar in Notting Hill, has made its debut at No. 99 on the prestigious World’s 50 Best Bars 51-100 List.
Part of Thesleff Group and led by Bar Director Pietro Collina and Brand Manager Veronica Di Pietrantonio, the bar is known for its dynamic atmosphere, creative cocktails, and exceptional hospitality. Viajante87’s inclusion at No. 99 marks a proud moment for the bar and a well-deserved recognition of its contribution to the global bar scene after only one year of operation. Following on from recently ranking as number 10 in the Bartenders Edit, a prestigious list of the best bars as voted by bartenders, and from achieving a pin from the Pinnacle Guide which signifies the bar’s excellence, this achievement sees Viajante87 as one of only 99 London bars to make the 51-100 list, underscoring its status as a standout destination in the city’s thriving bar community.
Since opening in September of 2023 and unveiling its Latin Americaninspired cocktail menu later that year Viajante87 has captured the imaginations of guests with its innovative drinks that pay homage to the region’s rich cultures, flavours, and ingredients. Split into five sections designed to take guests on a journey, the striking and inventive menu reflects the duo’s extensive travels through Latin America translating their experiences into a diverse range of cocktails that seamlessly blend traditional elements with modern twists.
“Making it onto the World’s 50 Best Bars 51-100 List is a huge achievement for us after just one year of being open” says Pietro Collina. “It’s a true testament to our
team and their incredible passion, creativity, and dedication and we’re so incredibly lucky to have them on this journey with us. This recognition is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to continue sharing our story and welcoming our amazing guests through our door as we continue to grow and develop as a bar.”
Viajante87’s ethos is rooted in curiosity and a genuine love for bringing people together, and this recognition at No. 99 not only cements Viajante87’s reputation as a neighbourhood gem but also
as a leading figure in London’s competitive bar scene. The bar continues to push the boundaries of what a neighbourhood spot can be, balancing an inviting, laidback atmosphere with world-class cocktails and hospitality.

Piper-Heidsieck, the most awarded Champagne house of the century, has launched a cinematic advertising campaign, to stage its own story with renowned British artist, Miles Aldridge.
The campaign titled Twist the Script, brings to life how PiperHeidsieck has been doing things differently and defying convention over the course of its history.
‘Twisting the Script’ reimagines tradition with bold, innovative flair. This is embedded in PiperHeidsieck’s DNA for decades and remains a driving force behind the brand’s approach to winemaking today.
Miles Aldridge has brought Twist the Script to life in his inimitable style, illustrating four audacious stories from Piper-Heidsieck’s rich history, with cinematic scenes that twist the script and highlight its daring and pioneering spirit.
The champagne house’s maverick ‘script twisting’ has manifested itself in many ways over the brand’s history. Whether through the appointment of 31-year-old Chef de Caves, Émilien Boutillat, back in 2018, who brought his innovative approach to winemaking; or becoming the first champagne house to ever achieve B Corp status, Piper-Heidsieck is not afraid of ripping up the rulebook and blazing its own trail.
While other champagne houses often choose to play it safe with their brand partnerships.
In 1999, Piper-Heidsieck embarked on a bold and unprecedented collaboration with fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier. The fashion icon gave Piper-Heidsieck Champagne a provocative makeover, encasing the bottle in a corset—a daring and seductive twist that redefined the high-end reputation of champagne.
The champagne house’s long heritage doesn’t stand in the way of progress as the brand has been at the forefront of technology, using advanced machinery in the champagne production process. The brand has also invested in Vitibot, a world leading wine robotics business, to further lead the way in sustainable viticulture.
Piper-Heidsieck’s new Twist the Script campaign features rich visuals, created by British artists and photographer, Miles Aldridge. The imagery brings to life iconic stories, reaffirming the Champagne house’s rich history and its enduring link to cinema, with the champagne brand being the first champagne to appear in the movie “Son’s of the Desert” in 1933 with Laurel and Hardy and having featured in more than 300 films.
Furthermore, the brand has long advocated for the arts and film industry and enjoyed an enduring partnership with the Festival de Cannes and the Oscars.
Unique stories brought to life through the Twist the Script campaign, include the champagne house’s bold approach to providing champagne during the prohibition era, by finding creative routes for champagne to be delivered throughout New York, often with cases of Piper-Heidsieck being
cunningly disguised as books.
Legendary lover of Piper-Heidsieck, Marilyn Monroe, is one of the stars of the new brand campaign visuals. The champagne house celebrates how Marilyn too liked to do things in her own unique way. When other female stars of the screen would wait around for the right script, Marilyn grew tired of waiting and decided to become a producer herself and set up her own company, she was one of the first females to do so.
Speaking on the brand’s audacious heritage, Sandrine Pietrement, Global Brand Director said: “Since joining the Piper-Heidsieck team, I’ve witnessed firsthand the creativity, vision and freedom we are granted. We’re continually encouraged to twist the script and carve out our own unique perspective in what is traditionally a very conventional industry.”
Artist and Photographer behind the campaign, Miles Aldridge said: “Twist the Script has been a
real passion project for me and it’s amazing to see the brand’s audacious narrative and the cinematic imagery all come together for the final creative.
Piper-Heidsieck allowed me the creative freedom to explore the brand’s history and the stories that demonstrate the brand’s joyful disobedience. Getting under the skin of these stories and then bringing them to life has been a real joy.”
Piper-Heidsieck’s Chef de Caves, Émilien Boutillat said: “As Chef de Caves of Piper-Heidsieck, I’m thrilled about the launch of the Twist the Script campaign—it perfectly captures the spirit that has always defined us. Whether in our winemaking philosophy, production methods, brand partnerships, or packaging, we’ve always been committed to doing things differently.
I’m particularly impressed with how Miles has brought to life four of our many brand stories that showcase Piper-Heidsieck’s bold spirit and unique flair. This rich history continues to inspire me as I craft the blends for our cuvées and push the boundaries toward an everbolder future.”
One bottle of Piper-Heidsieck pops every six seconds worldwide. PiperHeidsieck was the fastest growing major Champagne House in the last quarter of the UK market.[i]
The Twist the Script campaign launches today (24th September) with a mural of Miles Aldridge’s campaign imagery in Brooklyn, New York. Limited Edition Marilyn Monroe tin boxes of Piper-Heidsieck celebrating the campaign will also be available to buy in Waitrose stores around the UK from the 15th November.
dunhill, the foremost British luxury menswear House, is proud to introduce ‘Eveningwear’ – the fourth and final chapter of its Autumn Winter 2024 campaign series, showcasing the rigorous attention to detail imbued by Creative Director, Simon Holloway.
With over 130 years of unrivalled expertise and experience, dunhill stands as Britain’s leading tailoring House, renowned for time-honoured techniques and an unwavering commitment to exceptional quality. This season, dunhill’s eveningwear offering harks to the golden era of Hollywood style, when the House became known as the tailor to gentlemen of true distinction. Iconic figures such as author and bon vivant Truman Capote, who famously hosted the Black and White Masquerade Ball at the Plaza Hotel in 1966, are emblematic of this legacy. The event, renowned for its guestlist of aristocrats, scholars and stars, is also remembered for Capote’s elegant tuxedo, expertly crafted by dunhill. The importance of eveningwear to this House, and its prowess as a distinguished eveningwear tailor, is deeply woven into the fabric of elevated culture.
This heritage is reflected in exquisitely crafted pieces of classic English eveningwear, contemporised through silhouette, pattern and material for the rakish connoisseur of 2024.
Discover the louche single-breasted velvet Bourdon jacket, crafted from superior Supima cotton, with a lightweight full-front canvas. Experience the midnight blue wool-cashmere six-button doublebreasted peak lapel evening jacket, unlined and cut to the dashing new
Bourdon block. Make a statement with a striking all-white tuxedo in rare Grand De Poudre yarn, meticulously made in England.
Apply the finishing touches with refined accessories, such as an opulent duchess silk double-printed evening scarf, or a dapper velvet butterfly bow tie. For sophisticated footwear, slip into debonair kilim shoes or velvet, quilted leather-
lined evening slippers – adorned with a Tweenie devil motif, first appearing in an early 20th-century dunhill catalogue, or an armorial crest designed by Andrew Jamieson, who also conceived the invitations for the King’s coronation.
You simply cannot find eveningwear as elevated as dunhillian eveningwear.
Seek a small subversive gesture. View things from a perspective different from what is presumed most appropriate, not following the rules.
This is my way of dreaming, without hurry, visualizing and stratifying aspirations as if they were the bricks of a house. In my fashion as in my dreams, the exercise is the same. Search within the folds for a void that wants to be filled. Look at the detail very closely, before feeling free to back away in pursuit of a broader perspective. Capture the extraordinary where the ordinary is expected.
My dreams, as with my fashion, always converse with reality. Because I am not searching for another world to live in, but rather of ways to live in this world.
Sabato
placket, and hidden buttoning on the back, which transforms it into an embrace. The same can be found on bombers, peacoats, and leather jackets.
Lace, cut and reconstructed, is embellished with embroideries, other laces, or velvets. Shifts are a combination of overlapping layers, held together by laces. Jacquard prints depict a geometric heron, recognizable only up close. Knitwear is enriched by transparent or slightly off-tone sequins or with a crystal fringe that recreates a ribbed motif. Twin sets aren’t twin sets, but distinctive pieces. The colors - the ugly ones, the ones of the heart, and the wrong ones, together.
Making a coat is an act of craftsmanship, symbolic of a culture of exceptional technique. It begins with the construction, proceeding with the lining and the interior, moving between how the fabric falls, how it moves when it is worn, how its color changes if the wool is mixed with more modern fibers. Every act represents a meticulous journey in which each gesture can change the final result. The Fall Winter 2024 collection is an obsessive repetition of that journey, a staging of small subversive acts with regards to the rules of readyto-wear.
The main coat, in fabric and with a masculine silhouette, has a covered
A new top handle bag with a flat and perforated logo that reveals what lies beneath, crafted in nappa with a naturally silky feel and paired with a layer that renders it light and puffy, called GG Milano. And then, a half-moon silhouette inspired by the equestrian motifs
found in the Gucci Archive, infused with a contemporary spirit, is also decorated with a new logo. A clutch embellished and held together with a gold-toned metal bar that replicates the iconic bamboo. Finally, a Bamboo bucket bag with a broad and embracing silhouette.
Shoes
Horse-riding boots, the symbol par excellence of the connection between Gucci and the world of equestrianism, whose classic silhouette features an elongated metal Horsebit. Also in a unique over-the-knee version. The Horsebit

Small accessories
An archival necklace in galvanized gold and with a studded motif is woven with a ribbon in the shade of the garment closest to the neck. Cat-eye acetate sunglasses follow the same palette.

Hand-crafted single malt The Balvenie unveils The Balvenie Fifty Collection, an ultra-rare and exclusive launch epitomising half a century of unparalleled craftsmanship.
With only 125 bottles released from each of the three editions over the next three years, this meticulously curated trilogy by Malt Master Kelsey McKechnie debuted at Harrods, London, in August. One of The Balvenie’s most remarkable launches to date, the collection represents the interwoven stories of craftsmanship at the Speyside distillery over the last 50 years.
The First Edition, a unique single cask expression (cask number 8720), aged in a European oak refill butt, was filled in 1973 and selected by Malt Master Kelsey McKechnie. For the Second Edition, Kelsey introduces a second American oak hogshead cask filled in 1973 to marry with the first, before adding a third American oak Bbarrel filled in 1974 cask to the marriage for the final Edition Three.
The First Edition of The Balvenie Fifty Collection showcases the depth and complexity of the spirit influenced by the European oak cask whilst maintaining The Balvenie’s classic sweet honey style, even after fifty years of maturation.
On the nose, expect aromas of deep fruits, cassis and candied apricots, layered atop delicate cedar and a warming nutty spice. On the palate the whisky presents flavours of caramelised fruits, rich spice and soft vanilla, which marry together with a delicate ginger spice and citrus zing.
The Second and Third Editions will launch in 2025 and 2026, respectively.

Every two years, TimeForArt provides an exceptional opportunity for Chopard to showcase the full extent of its artistic genius through a one-ofa-kind timepiece.
The new Alpine Eagle 41 XP model combines the pure lines of an iconic creation from the Maison with a dial featuring an exceptional Artistic craft perfected by the inhouse workshops: straw marquetry. This aesthetic feat is matched by great technical virtuosity: beating
inside a 41-millimetre-diameter case in Lucent Steel™ – Chopard’s exclusive alloy endowed with advanced properties and made with an 80% recycling rate –its sophisticated L.U.C 96.17-L movement is equipped with the two stacked barrels of Chopard Twin technology, ensuring a 65-hour power reserve.
A straw marquetry dial: a miniature masterpiece
Each edition of a Time For Art timepiece gives Chopard the opportunity to call on one of the many Artistic Crafts cultivated
in its workshops. In keeping with this tradition, the dial of this new model is graced with straw marquetry. Created by a decoration Artisan from the Manufacture specially trained in this 17th-century technique, this masterpiece is a first for Chopard, which has never before presented a dial of this kind on its watches. The choice of straw and its link with the agricultural environment recall the deep inspiration that the Alpine Eagle collection draws from Nature and the alpine environment that Chopard is committed to preserving.
It all starts with the selection of the material: rye straw grown in Burgundy, France. Each strand is split individually with the fingernail, before being flattened with a dedicated tool called a plioir (bone folder). Using a scalpel, the straw is then cut and subsequently glued to the dial in an intricate pattern owing everything to the Artisan’s dexterity. The composition combines strands of different sizes, thicknesses and shades, while its graphic lines evoke an eagle’s eye view in full flight over the skyscrapers of New York – the city where the TimeForArt auction is to be held. Once assembled, the dial is coated with wood wax in order to reveal its full shine and brilliance. During all these stages, the light, thin nature of straw demands
extremely meticulous care and patience, justifying 60 hours of work – at the end of which the hour-markers and inner bezel ring are applied by hand, followed by the gold hours and minutes hands.
The Alpine Eagle collection reflects Chopard’s creative richness and visionary spirit in equal measure, along with inspiration drawn from the power of Nature. The one-of-akind Alpine Eagle 41 XP Time For Art remains true to this approach: a round case with stylised sides, a crown engraved with a compass rose, a bezel with eight functional indexed screws, luminescent
indications and a comfortable metal bracelet – and above all, a state-of-the-art material: Lucent Steel™. This innovative steel alloy made with an 80% recycling rate was developed by Chopard for its anti-allergenic virtues, robustness and incomparable brilliance obtained through a meticulous remelting process. The Alpine Eagle 41 XP model is endowed with pure, sleek lines and harmonious proportions. Measuring 41 millimetres in diameter and just eight millimetres thick, its case, featuring a slimmed-down bezel and sides, provides a wide opening onto the unprecedented dial.
L.U.C Calibre 96.17-L: mechanical performance
The thinness of the case is made possible by the use of the in-house L.U.C 96.17-L movement measuring just 3.30 mm thick. This self-winding movement is equipped with a 22-carat off-centre micro-rotor incorporated into the thickness of the calibre. Its high inertia enables it to wind the two stacked barrels of Chopard Twin technology, which store the energy needed to give the Alpine Eagle 41 XP Time For Art a total 65-hour power reserve. Once fitted, it will remain on time and accurate for more than two and a half days, the length of a long weekend.
This one-of-a-kind art watch will be part of the TimeForArt event, an auction of outstanding timepieces by the world’s greatest master watchmakers, with 100% of the proceeds directly dedicated to supporting the most visionary contemporary artists through
Swiss Institute exhibitions, public apprenticeship programmes and free community workshops. TimeForArt offers a year-round platform for exchanges between the world of watchmaking and the visual arts.
Chopard Co-President
Karl-Friedrich Scheufele comments on this remarkable collaboration: “TimeForArt is a unique opportunity to put the spotlight on our highly qualified Artisans through a project that supports the vitality of the art world. Our workshops are committed to preserving and passing on the wealth of watchmaking traditions of which they are the mediators – and this new Alpine Eagle model proves that our approach of independence and integrated skills is both judicious and beneficial.”
Founded in 1860, Chopard, The Artisan of Emotions, perpetuates a heritage of traditional expertise and ancestral crafts through contemporary and ethical creations. Cultivating boundless creativity, Chopard takes craftsmanship to its highest level through the work of passionate Artisans.
The Scheufele family, which has been guiding the Maison from generation to generation, is firmly convinced that contemporary luxury must necessarily be responsible and ethical. Today, Chopard uses 100% ethical gold for the production of its gold watches and jewellery, as well as manufacturing its own Lucent Steel™ – with a recycling rate of 80% – for its steel timepieces.
More than 50 skills are mastered at Chopard’s three production sites, where particular attention is paid to providing in-house training, passing on expertise and perpetuating Artistic Crafts.
Tiffany & Co. is proud to announce Love For Our Oceans, a new initiative that is committed to raising over USD $1 million through sales of T by Tiffany Smile cord bracelets in participating jurisdictions in support of The Nature Conservancy’s ocean conservation efforts. The initiative is aimed at delivering measurable impact in the health and protection of the world’s oceans globally.
Tiffany & Co. has proudly partnered with the global environmental nonprofit organization since 2007, awarding it over USD $2 million in The Tiffany & Co. Foundation grants and mobilizing an additional USD $6.5 million toward the preservation of critical ecosystems. The T Smile by Tiffany cord bracelets are crafted with REPREVE® Our Ocean™ cords— made entirely from ocean-bound plastic bottles. Uplifting the House’s longstanding commitment to helping to safeguard the beauty
of the natural world, the initiative showcases Tiffany & Co.’s dedication to helping to preserve the oceans— a source of eternal wonder and joy.
“As a global luxury jeweler, we are deeply committed to protecting the planet. It is more than our responsibility; it is a long-term commitment that started nearly 25 years ago,” said Anthony Ledru, President and Chief Executive Officer, Tiffany & Co. “Tiffany & Co. has made great progress in its ocean conservation efforts through both corporate and foundation grants. The Love For Our Oceans initiative represents the next chapter in our ongoing journey, as well as our love of the planet and the beautiful materials and resources that it affords us.”
Since The Tiffany & Co. Foundation’s inception in 2000, it has made meaningful strides in its ocean conservation efforts globally. The Foundation is a leader in ocean protection, awarding over USD $38 million in grants to 44 organizations across more than 30 countries, from Hawaii to the Caribbean, Australia and the Coral Triangle, contributing to the UN Biodiversity goal of protecting 30% of the world’s oceans by 2030. The Tiffany & Co. Foundation grants have supported the creation and expansion of more than 13 million square kilometers of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), an area larger than the size of the United States; produced 50 Reefs, a landmark study that identified the world’s most resilient coral reefs to climate change and most imperative for conservation and restoration efforts; supported the promotion of an Emmy® and Sundance awardwinning documentary, Chasing Coral.
“For
more than a decade, Tiffany & Co. and The Nature Conservancy have collaborated on projects that
protect nature—from coral reefs in the Caribbean to salmon runs in Alaska. The Love For Our Oceans
initiative opens the next chapter in our work together, and will contribute to TNC’s goal to conserve 4 billion hectares—or about 10%—of the world’s most important ocean habitats.” said Jennifer Morris, CEO, The Nature Conservancy.
Comprised of 10 styles, the designs are available in 18k yellow or rose gold—with or without diamonds— and for each bracelet sold through October 14, 2026, either USD $100 or $200, depending on the piece selected, will be given to The Nature Conservancy.
Tanzanian Sunrise is the latest haute joaillerie creation from the House of Gübelin. The impressive necklace is inspired by the fascinating inner world of a red spinel from Tanzania weighing more than 22 ct, which reminded the designers of a dragonfly spreading its wings at sunrise and taking flight.
Tanzanian Sunrise combines exquisite gemstones and the highest level of artisanship. Gübelin relies on the combination of Physical Tracers and digital technology from Provenance Proof to document the origin and authenticity of the necklace.
Unique inspiration
The inner world of a gemstone is as unique as a fingerprint. The Gübelin design team interprets the spectacular structures within a gemstone, where they find inspiration to create unrivalled
pieces, which, in addition to their external beauty, reflect their hidden inner beauty.
With the aid of a microscope, the designers immersed themselves deep within this red spinel from Tanzania (22.08 ct). There they discovered spectacular structures reminding them of a dragonfly whose wings sparkle in the radiant colours of the rising sun. Following this inspiration, they created a sculptural necklace with gemstoneset wings spreading from its central stone in the most enchanting colours of the dawn. Tanzanian Sunrise combines stunning gemstones and the highest level of artisanship to create masterful haute joaillerie.
Exquisite artisanship
The cushion-shaped spinel forms the heart of this haute joaillerie creation, set with marquise-shaped rose spinels, pink sapphires and rubies totalling more than 50 ct. Masterfully arranged, these hand-
picked gemstones are carefully combined and meticulously arranged to create a stunning colour gradient.
The necklace combines organically curved elements in red gold, reminiscent of wings glistening in the sun. They are set with orange and pink spinels in various shades of colour in a free pavé thread. Specially cut diamond baguettes whose radiance is underscored by a platinum setting add additional brilliance and plays of light. The creation is the outcome of over 700 hours of the finest artisanship at the House of Gübelin’s own jewellery atelier in Lucerne.
Raphael Gübelin, President of the House of Gübelin, explains: “Tanzanian Sunrise is a brilliant example of the interplay between our fields of expertise. Inspired by the inner world of this rare and treasured spinel, the artists in our company’s own atelier created this unique piece of haute joaillerie.”
For centuries, rubies have been associated with love and passion. The ruby has a special significance to the House of Gübelin. It symbolises the company’s Deeply Inspired philosophy. To symbolise this philosophy, each piece from Gübelin contains a ruby, embodying the Gübelin family’s passion for coloured gemstones.
For Tanzanian Sunrise, the designers selected a prominent position for the iconic Gübelin ruby in a cabochon cut, placing it between the Tanzanian spinel and the diamond baguettes. It lends the necklace another fascinating shade of red in a captivating cut. As the signature
stone, the ruby characterises the necklace as a Gübelin creation.
Spinels are among the most sought-after gems, captivating connoisseurs with their natural beauty, rich colouration and brilliance. Demand for these exquisite gemstones has risen considerably. Intensive shades of red are especially popular.
This cushion-shaped spinel comes from Tanzania, where red and pink spinels were discovered in 2007 which are renowned throughout the world for their colour. Based on its extraordinary quality, beauty and rarity, the Gübelin Gem Lab gave this spinel of 22.08 ct a rating of 96.2 Gübelin Points, with the designation “exceptional”.
Provenance Proof – incontrovertible documentation
This cushion-shaped spinel has been entered into Provenance Proof. Gübelin uses the decentralised blockchain technology of Provenance Proof in order to ensure tamper-proof
documentation of the journey of the spinel and the creation of the jewellery piece. In addition to the digital technology, the necklace is marked with Physical Tracers from Provenance Proof, which verify the authenticity and origin of the necklace from the House of Gübelin. The combination of digital and physical technologies promises more security and traceability.
The House of Gübelin’s Deeply Inspired philosophy pervades all aspects of the company’s activities. It is based on a unique combination of beauty, knowledge and expertise, always pursuing a deeper understanding of the profession, as a tribute to the family’s pioneering spirit.
The new Etro Home Interiors collection combines the rediscovery of the 60s and 70s with the exploration of contemporary style codes.
The clean lines of the furnishings contrast with the brand’s characteristic maximalism and eclecticism, evident in the mix and match of eras and styles, as well as in the use of colour and fabrics, central themes of the Etro style.
The upholstered pieces, with their essential lines, incorporate fabrics from recent fashion shows. Emblematic in this regard are the Neoclassic line, composed of a
sofa, armchair and ottoman with a classical aesthetic, and the Quiltana collection: sofa, armchair and bed, characterised by soft and cosy shapes, embellished by refined quilting with a squared effect that recalls the capitonné style, reinterpreted with a fresh touch. The simple and refined silhouettes are enhanced by rich fabrics, characterised by material textures and lush prints. Available in different colours, capable of varying the atmosphere of the environments created, the fabrics range from the neutral, delicate and dusty tones of green and beige, to shades of intense blue enriched by paisley and brocade designs. The floral Gobelin, selected from the Etro archive and distinguished by an irresistible vintage charm, plays on shades of pink.
New additions include furniture with lines inspired by the past, enhanced using lacquered finishes and saturated colours that offer a modern interpretation. Tubular elements make up the structures and profiles of chairs, armchairs and tables in the Piping line. Linear and functional, the sideboards of the Rotunda collection are also available in the lacquered version, with up to nine colours to choose from, or in wood, with a top in Arnica.
Finally, lamps and chandeliers with totemic lampshades bring discreet yet characterful accents of light into any environment. Emblematic in this sense is the Dice collection, capable of enhancing interior design style thanks to the sophisticated atmosphere recreated by its decorative lampshades.

Development of second homes to date has been focussed mainly on the coast but now there are some exciting investment opportunities opening up inland in Montenegro’s ski capital and fastest growing city, Kolašin.
Terra Homes is developing a peaceful and sustainable sanctuary of new homes in the city, that has recently received international recognition.
Since the country was given NATO’s membership in 2016, the real estate sector in Montenegro has seen unprecedented growth due to a surge of foreign investments. There is a low supply and a growing demand for luxury real estate properties with investors able to benefit from many tax incentives* and an attractive return on investment.
Buying a property also entitles the foreign owner to a temporary residence permit if there is an intention to stay for more than 90 days with the right for a permanent residency after 5 years. And there is exciting news ahead with the possibility that in 2027, Montenegro will join the EU.
In breath-taking Kolašin, Montenegro’s vibrant mountain city, there has already been huge investment into tourism with a further €700M planned. With spectacular mountain views and access to 45km of world-class ski trails, this location defines natural beauty.
Terra Homes in Kolašin is the latest award-winning real estate investment opportunity by Ena Capital. Just eight, two-bed and three-bed eco-friendly properties make up this secluded sanctuary immersed in an unspoiled environment, prices start from €750,000. The modern villas encompass a country home feel and seamlessly blend sustainability with contemporary finishes through stylistic features such as exposed concrete, panel wall décor and an open wooden rafter system, adding character and warmth.
Ms Evrim Yaman, founder and owner at Ena Capital comments:
“We’re delighted to bring a brandnew, unique real estate investment opportunity to Kolašin, and proud that the scheme has been recognised as a winner by the International Property Awards. The city is spectacular and a main driver for ski tourism in Montenegro meaning it’s central to financial growth, offering wonderful benefits for investors.
“The modern villas are secluded in natural beauty and have the perfect mix of a central location, sunshine and mountains. Montenegro is one of the few places where you can lounge on a sandy beach in the morning and within an hour or so, be in the mountains. Terra Homes is a stylish and peaceful community of homes with incredible views.
“We set out to honour Montenegro’s natural beauty while offering something truly valuable to those who invest in it. To know that we’ve created something that will stand strong for generations is the real reward and a step forward in shaping the future of sustainable, thoughtful living.”
The villas are designed with sustainability in mind, Terra Homes is dedicated to protecting the natural surroundings of the homes. The project team selected eco-friendly, sustainable materials that don’t contain any synthetic components. Reinforced concrete, aerated concrete, and solid wood were utilized for wall and roof structures respectively, while local natural stone was used as a facade material to reduce transportation costs as well as the environmental impact of any harmful substances associated with transporting heavy materials.
High-performance glass and energysaving insulation materials are used to minimize heat loss. Orientation towards cardinal directions ensures reduced loss during winter and conserved resources for cooling in summer. Solar panels power some of the electricity, pellet boilers provide heat, and electric boilers are used for hot water. Underfloor heating with lower temperature provides an eco-friendly solution compared to high-temperature systems. All these methods work together to make the villas more energy efficient.
Each property will feature a private outdoor Jacuzzi and sauna for ultimate luxury as well as a barbeque area and secluded garden. There will two allocated parking spaces per home and a children’s playground for the Terra Homes community to enjoy.
Nearby Lake Biograd is a stand-out attraction for visitors. Located in National Park Biogradska Gora, one of Europe’s three preserved virgin forests, the exquisite lake is at 1094m of altitude surrounded by three walking paths. The city also has direct access to the country’s capital of Podgorica.
Montenegro as a country offers a rich history and culture. From ancient walled towns and a UNESCO-protected national park to Europe’s deepest canyon and stunning fjord, it’s perfect for those looking to purchase a second home overseas.
The nearest airport to Kolašin is Podgorica (TGD) Airport which is 55.6 km away. There are direct flights from London, Manchester and Birmingham.
Prices start from €750,000 for a two-bedroom villa.
Quiet luxury interiors are minimalistic, wellcrafted, and designed to stand the test of time. It’s no wonder this sophisticated style remains one of the top interior trends as we approach 2025.
Amthal Karim, Head of Design at Furniture And Choice comments:
“Quiet luxury is a popular trend that started in the fashion world but has quickly gained a big following in the home space too. The concept has evolved from a micro-trend into a complete design ethos in itself. As homeowners gravitate towards all things classic and a desire for better quality products, Quiet Luxury has become an aspirational look in interior design.
To achieve this discreet yet luxurious vibe in your home, muted colours, bespoke furniture, and timeless décor are key features to have. Instead of projecting luxury in a loud or bold way, focus on subtle, refined materials. It’s about investing in good craftsmanship and high quality pieces that appear
understated. It’s also about detail - the type of detail you only notice when you get up close like exquisite velvet piping on a sofa or the opulent stone finish on a tabletop.
Furniture design is an area where luxe plays an important role. Dining tables are being transformed with the introduction of stunning patterns and textures which evoke the beauty of natural materials. Statement marble patterns and colours are gaining popularity as well as premium stone, travertine and quartz.
The inspiration for this new style of dining furniture emanates from the revival of neo-classical design
and a nod to the Japanese WabiSabi movement. Interior designers are appreciating the simplicity of natural materials in their own right. This aesthetic is all about crafting elegant, timeless pieces with organic textures, and showcasing them in minimal, modern spaces.
Sofas are being given the quiet luxury treatment too. Familiar fabrics such as linens and plain velvets are being elevated with shimmer-effect, two tone weaves and distressed finishes. Furniture that is durable, well-crafted and aesthetically pleasing without having to shout about it – that’s the quiet luxury look.”

There’s an important decision looming for all you romantics out there: How are you planning to celebrate Valentine’s Day this year? If you’re thinking of preparing a delicious dinner à deux at home, accompanied by a glass or two of something special to drink, it’s time to lavish some love on your kitchen floor first! Family-run, independent online tiles and flooring specialist Hyperion Tiles has plenty of inspiration for kitchen flooring ideas you’ll love for Valentine’s Day and beyond – with highly competitive trade pricing a key feature.
Our director Richard comments: “As open-plan kitchen/dining/living rooms become more common, we’re all spending a lot more time in this space. That’s great news in terms of functionality and flow – and makes Valentine’s Day entertaining much easier. But it does mean increased traffic levels for your floor. And because all areas are on display all of the time, any signs of wear and tear tend to be far more obvious.”
Here’s are Richard’s top three popular kitchen flooring ideas:
1. Show some passion for pattern. The trend for patterned floors shows no sign of slowing down in 2024. They add instant impact and interest to any space. Why not go big, bold and bright to create a modern statement floor? Or choose a neutral palette with an interesting motif.
2. Cement and cement-effect tiles (also known as concrete tiles) are firm favourites among fans of the urban/industrial chic aesthetic. But they can feel cold and hard underfoot. That’s why we offer a wide selection of cement-effect tiles. They deliver the same visual impact, but feel more comfortable –and are a much more cost-effective option.
3. Terracotta tiles have always been a popular choice for kitchens, because they bring both virtual and physical warmth to a space Their distinctive red/brown appearance looks fabulous in traditional settings. But the right shape and shade can really elevate a modern kitchen too.

At Heesen, we are thrilled to announce that SPARTA, our 67m custom superyacht, has been awarded Best Motor Yacht Above 500GT and Best Interior at the International Superyacht Society’s Design and Leadership Awards.
These recognitions celebrate the outstanding work of our dedicated team and the network of subcontractors who contributed their expertise to bring this extraordinary yacht to life.
The design of SPARTA is a testament to a dual vision: creating a seamless harmony between interior and exterior spaces, while crafting an intimate home for an ocean-loving family. In collaboration with Winch Design, we have delivered a visually captivating exterior inspired by
a 67m wave. The sleek, blade-like structure draws from natural forms to create a dynamic interplay between the bow and stern. The flowing transition from the main saloon to the 6.5m infinity pool exemplifies the successful fusion of indoor and outdoor environments.
Every detail of SPARTA reflects meticulous craftsmanship and a dedication to oceanic themes. The whole interior evokes a sense of exploration, enhanced by a luxurious yet welcoming atmosphere. The cohesive elements of earth, water, and air unite all
guest areas, from the aft beach terrace to the sun deck bar. The owners desired an inviting space filled with playfulness and surprise, perfectly embodying their vibrant lifestyle. Julia Roestenberg, Senior Interior Designer at Winch Design, remarked that the vision of creating a “floating home on the ocean” guided the project from concept to completion.
The interior’s colour palette—featuring light timbers, bronze accents, and soft golds—creates a contemporary and inviting ambiance. Rounded angles and reflective surfaces enhance the space’s fluidity. The VIP cabins on the main deck are particularly eyecatching, with tramazite installations above the beds that glimmer like sapphires. Wave-like carpets add an imaginative touch, woven with an “island” in the centre for children to explore. On the lower deck, a wellness hub promotes relaxation and social interaction. Natural materials underscore the water theme, featuring a hardwood whirlpool and a Turkish bath lined with cool ceramics. Thoughtful design choices, like lowered sightlines, encourage conversation and connection among guests.
The airy master suite on the upper deck reflects a sky-like ambiance, with mother-of-pearl inlays and custom carpeting. Designed to feel more like a spacious apartment, the suite provides ample room for relaxation and enjoyment. The forward owner’s suite includes a unique representation of the solar system, creating an engaging focal point for younger guests.
The collaborative efforts of engineers, artisans, and our extended family of subcontractors were instrumental in optimising both the yacht’s technical performance and its wellness-focused amenities. These include thoughtfully designed spaces for the crew, ensuring the vessel operates seamlessly.
From water to air, SPARTA embodies a cohesive and innovative environment that sets a new standard in the superyacht industry. We are immensely proud of this achievement, and we look forward to furthering our legacy of innovation and excellence in yacht design and construction.

Supermarine, the exclusive representative of Skipper Powerboats for Italy, Spain, and Switzerland and official Saxdor dealer for Italy and Monaco, has successfully concluded its first ever open house event.
The goal of the three-day event at the Marina of Varazze was to formalize the recent partnership with Skipper Powerboats with adrenaline-pumping sea trials aboard two exemplary models made by the Greek brand.
Supermarine, in its new role as the official distributor for the renowned Greek brand Skipper Powerboats in Italy, Spain, and Switzerland organized a threeday event from the 11th to the 13th of October for the press, enthusiasts, and public at the Marina of Varazze. On this occasion, the company reaffirmed its pride in the recent partnership with Skipper Powerboats, a Greek brand specializing in high-end sports RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats). The new additions will extend Supermarine’s range, which already includes the Finnish brand, Saxdor
Yachts, according to an exclusive dealership agreement covering Italy and the Principality of Monaco.
“We identified certain models made by Skipper that are unique on the nautical landscape. Skipper originates from the BSK shipyard, which stands for BENCHMARK SUPERIORITY KNOWLEDGE: these are high-performance watercraft, designed detail by detail to achieve exceptional performance on the water as the only RIBs in the world with a four-step hull,” explains Riccardo Cavarzan, Supermarine’s CEO. “Our strategy is to curate a selective network of dealers for Spain, Italy, and Switzerland, and events like these are valuable opportunities for visibility and to establish contact with operators, dealers, and enthusiasts from various regions.”
In 2024, the first year Supermarine brought the Saxdor brand to the market, more than 30 boats were sold and delivered. The uniqueness and eccentricity of the Saxdor brand in the market is to thank for much of the success, and Supermarine has chosen to represent Skipper with similar expectations.
At the Varazze event, two of the three models that currently make up the Skipper BSK range were presented: the Skipper BSK 34 NC, powered by a pair of Mercury 300R engines, and the Skipper BSK 42 NC, equipped with two Volvo Penta 440 hp diesel stern drives. Each exhibit proved its excellent performance, with top speeds around 60 knots and wave handling exceeding their classes.

Welcome to Tiaré, a luxurious yet traditional Indonesian Phinisi that will take you on a journey of discovery to some of the most stunning diving spots in the world.
The Tiaré began as the dream of 5 cousins, discussed over a summer dinner party.
This dream to create a luxurious dive boat built by the master builders of South Sulawesi came together with careful design, the sturdiest and most beautiful materials sourced from sustainable sources, high-tech components and safety equipment… and of course, time.
Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.
Tiaré offers a spectacular experience for divers as well as non-divers, with bright airy cabins, spacious bathrooms and a large front deck where you can socialize, eat under the stars or just relax in the Indonesian sunshine. There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive.
All indoor and outdoor living areas, decks, and cabins are made with antique teak salvaged from old Joglos, which not only gives the feel of “real Indonesia”, but has helped to reduce the use of Indonesia’s disappearing rainforests.
Designed to be a space where you
feel totally at home with an extra touch of luxury, comfortable couches and tables are the perfect place to socialize and catch up with your fellow divers. If you need to rest, have a nap, read a book or watch a film. A bar stocked with imported wines and a selection of other drinks is a welcome treat after a day of diving and a small cigar store is available for cigar connoisseurs. As well as comfortable couches, the airconditioned indoor lounge also has tables where dinner can be served as an alternative to the main deck depending on weather conditions and your preference. There are also PCs where you can edit photos or videos and also an indoor camera room, which has plenty of room to store your lenses, charges, lights and even your spare cameras.
Bow lounge
friendly body wash and shampoo.
Two triple cabins are spacious enough to accommodate two adults and one child or three adults, with under-bed storage to ensure ease of movement around the cabin. The other four cabins, two twin and two double, accommodate two adults each for a maximum capacity of 14 guests.
In addition to the indoor living area, the outdoor bow lounge is a space to enjoy and experience the freedom of being at sea. Watch the crew at work, birds flying overhead or count the millions of stars in the clear night sky from comfortable loungers and couches.
With 14 guests on board Tiaré is comfortable and spacious enough for both a social atmosphere and space to relax and enjoy down time in the luxurious cabins.
Pearl Yachts, renowned for its cutting-edge yacht designs, announces its participation in the 2024 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS).
This year, the British shipyard will introduce the outstanding Pearl 82 – the most compact superyacht on the market - to the American audience, in conjunction with its esteemed US partner, Atlantic Yacht & Ship, Inc. The exhibition marks the first showing of Pearl’s complete line-up, including the Pearl 82, Pearl 95, Pearl 72, and Pearl 62.
The centrepiece of Pearl Yachts’ display, the Pearl 82, recently made its world debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival, earning the accolade of “Best Layout” in the 24m to 30m category at the World Yachts Trophies. Conceived by the Pearl Product Development Team, penned under the expert eye of acclaimed designer Bill Dixon, and adorned with interiors by Kelly Hoppen CBE, the Pearl 82 exemplifies the zenith of modern luxury and engineering mastery, featuring an innovative Raised Pilothouse (RPH) design, five luxurious en-suite staterooms, including a master suite with an exclusive forepeak terrace, plus crew accommodations for four and a garage large enough to accommodate a 395 tender, jet ski and water toys.
The Pearl 82 offers two aft deck options – Riviera or Veranda – to suit different lifestyles. The Riviera layout features aft-facing sun pads behind the table and sofa setup, while the Veranda option allows flexible seating for alfresco lunch/ dining, aperitifs or patio views.
In both, folding bulwarks expand the cockpit, opening it to the sea.
This new model offers direct access to a private forepeak terrace, just steps away from the sunbathing foredeck lounge. The bow area also connects to the flybridge through a passage on the starboard side, enabling seamless movement between outdoor spaces, and constituting the first asymmetric, semi walkaround deck in this size class.
Iain Smallridge, Managing Director of Pearl Yachts, comments on this significant event: “The introduction of the Pearl 82 along with the entire fleet at FLIBS represents our unwavering commitment to excellence and our strategic expansion in the American market. This year’s recognition is a tribute to our team’s expertise and passion, and it drives us to continuously redefine the standards of yacht
design and customer experience.”
The debut of the Pearl 82 at FLIBS highlights the brand’s commitment to a feature-focused product strategy. This new 5 cabin model is poised to redefine yacht design in the eighty-foot segment, showcasing a pinnacle of innovation that combines cuttingedge design with opulent interiors and unique features, earning it the title of “the most compact superyacht on the market.”

Bentley has delivered the world’s first global media drive using sustainable eFuel, as part of ongoing efforts to reduce the company’s environmental impact.
157 guests from around the globe arrived in Switzerland for the global media launch of the fourth generation Continental GT Speed coupe and convertible, which is the first event of its kind to use eFuel and demonstrate its compatibility with existing combustion engines.
eFuel is a fully synthetic fuel developed by an international consortium led by Highly Innovative Fuels (HIF) Global and backed by Porsche, and is literally created “from thin air” by the Haru Oni pilot plant in the Magallanes Region of Chile. Biogenic CO2 is captured from a brewery process and combined with hydrogen created by electrolysing water to create methanol, which can then be refined to gasoline. The blend used by Bentley for its Global Media Drive was R75 – 75 per cent eFuel, 25 per cent ordinary gasoline – and
represents a significant drop in well-to-wheels tailpipe emissions. The fuel was used both for the fleet of Continental GT Speed and also for the supporting chauffeur fleet, while 25.9 kWh hybrid batteries were charged with 100 per cent renewable electricity from local hydroelectric and wind turbine schemes. The combination of the performance of the Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain of the new fourth generation Continental GT, the eFuel, and 100 per cent renewable electricity from the hotel enabled a reduction
of 93 per cent in CO2 vehicle emissions compared to previous events**.
The drive route combined four famous mountain passes - Sustenpass, Grimselpass, Nufenenpass and St. Gotthard-pass. Over the course of the event, the 12 Continental GT Speeds climbed a total of 1,400,000 ft, navigated over 4500 hairpins and covered 8000 miles in seven days - yet there was still a 30 per cent reduction in overall carbon impact per guest*.
Driving the new grand tourer, the guests not only experienced the dynamic capabilities of the new chassis technology with Bentley’s new advanced dual valve damper, but also the advantages of the Ultra Performance Hybrid Powertrains ability using the e-motor to torque-fill at low engine speeds and improve smoothness for gear changes.
The Continental GT Speed, which is now available to order, has been certified at 29 g/km CO2 and 217 mpg, and will be due to arrive at retailers at the start of next year.
While emissions from the on-site event have been drastically reduced, the major environmental factor for a Global Media Drive continues to be the CO2 emissions from the international flights required. In the absence of an alternative, Bentley continues to offset carbon emissions in this area using carbon credits.
Ferrari has unveiled the F80 and wrote a new chapter in the history of legendary supercars bearing the Prancing Horse badge.
The F80 will be produced in a limited run of just 799 examples and joins the pantheon of icons such as the GTO, F40 and LaFerrari by showcasing the best that the Maranello-based marque has achieved in terms of technology and performance.
Ever since 1984, Ferrari has periodically released a new supercar that represented the pinnacle of cutting-edge technology and innovation of its era and that was destined to become enshrined in popular culture. Intended for the most discerning clients of the brand, these cars immediately became legends in their own lifetime, making an indelible mark not only on the history of Ferrari, but on the history of the automobile itself.
The latest addition to this family, the F80, is tasked with embodying the ultimate in engineering for an internal-combustion-engined vehicle and employs all the most advanced technological solutions, including latest-generation hybrid technology for the powertrain, to achieve unparalleled levels of power and torque. Every aspect of the architecture is conceived to maximise performance, from the carbon-fibre chassis and extreme aerodynamic solutions far beyond anything seen before in a road-legal car, to the new active suspension optimised to let the driver wring every ounce of performance from the car on the track.
Unlike anything else in the current supercar world, the F80 combines all these attributes with uncompromising levels of usability on the road, where it can be driven with ease. This ability shaped every choice made in terms of technology and architecture to achieve the goal, which at first sight seems impossible, of creating a track-oriented supercar that’s just as driveable as a production range model.
All this means that the driver will spend even more time in the car and can truly get to know and revel in its performance and the thrilling driving experience it offers. The architecture of the F80 is so extreme
that the layout chosen results in a narrower cabin with a driver-centric layout, which nonetheless still offers excellent space and comfort for a passenger. This choice had crucial benefits in terms of minimising drag and weight.
The cockpit area therefore has a distinct single-seater feel, despite the fact that the car is homologated for two occupants, resulting in a architecture that we could call “1+”. The primary reason for this choice was to minimise width, to the benefit of aerodynamics (with less drag) and weight saving. This concept is completely in keeping with the motorsport world from which this car not only draws inspiration but also inherits technological solutions.
As has always been the case with the Ferrari supercars preceding the F80, the powertrain is based on the finest expression of technology in motorsport. The GTO and F40 were powered by a turbo V8, because Formula 1 cars used turbocharged engines in the 1980s. Today in both Formula 1 and the World Endurance Championship (WEC), powertrains
consist of turbo V6 ICE engines mated with an 800 V hybrid system. It was only natural then that this architecture - the same architecture used by the 499P, which has taken two consecutive victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans - would be transferred into the new F80.
Here though the powertrain is further complemented by the introduction, for the first time ever on a Ferrari, of electric turbo technology (e-turbo), which, with an electric motor installed between the turbine and compressor of each turbo, allows for an extraordinary specific power output and instantaneous response from low down in the rev range.
Aerodynamics play a key role on the F80, with solutions such as the active rear wing, rear diffuser, flat underbody, front triplane wing and S-Duct working in concert to generate 1000 kg of downforce at 250 km/h. This result is further enhanced thanks to the active suspension, which contributes directly to generating ground effect. Performance is boosted by the electric front axle, which brings four-
wheel drive capability to make even more effective use of the torque and power on tap, and the new brakes with motorsports-derived CCM-R Plus technology.
As with all the supercars preceding it, the F80 marks the start of a new design era for Ferrari, with a more tense, extreme design language accentuating its race-bred soul. There are clear references to cues borrowed from aerospace, which underscore the cutting-edge technology and elegant engineering of each and every technical solution. But there are also nods to its hallowed progenitors which clearly declare the illustrious lineage of the F80.

An art world maverick, Adrienne Egger has a boundarypushing attitude.
Fusing her resilient energy with adventurous light-heartedness, she opens doors and breaks down barriers with charisma, confidence and warmth. Best known for her crowd-stopping figurative paintings, Adrienne’s prize-winning style – like many aspects of her life – defies easy categorization. Harnessing aspects of narrative, impressionism and expressionism, her innately curious nature seeks new means and experiments with a variety of materials in order to capture feelings, culture and humanity. For there, between her easy smile and light touch, lies the true gift of the artist.
Through a life spanning nearly 5 decades spent equally on two continents, she has come to understand that we are all the same, wanting to be understood. This is reflected in the international scope of her collector base, private & corporate, found everywhere from Hong Kong, San Francisco, Aspen, New York, London, Ibiza, Paris, Hamburg, Vienna, and München, to a charity auction at a polo tournament in St Moritz, the living room of Austrian rock’n’roller Andreas Gabalier, or even your neighbor down the street. From awardwinning luxury lifestyle magazines, respected curatorial publications, to

multiple-page spreads in the local bank magazine, Adrienne’s thoughts and approachable style of reflection are popularly well-documented. She illuminates that what becomes seen in the light of reflection is not always beautiful. Witnessing the crushing frustrations of her artistic single mother as an impoverished 8-yearold girl as she did is neither beautiful nor inspiring. This is the essence of Adrienne’s work: she holds out her hand to us and challenges us to take our vulnerabilities, our messes as well as our victories, and turn them into something we can love. With deep empathy beyond words and conventions, her exquisite talent and honest elegance transform intangible feelings into visual storyscapes, a simple painting exercise into a personal revelation,
or an event into a living fantasy.
Be it through her artwork, workshops, design, handbag collection or events, Adrienne elevates everyone her work touches, revealing the extraordinary in ourselves in order to comfort us, lift us up, and laugh with us.

Adrienne’s latest work incorporates a technique she refers to as bodyprinting in which she transfers the pigment from her body to the canvas. The mark the skin leaves is beautiful and intimate as it is abstract. Worked into a landscape or with figurative elements, the resulting image evokes an intimate connection—skin on skin, as well as distanced, with the tranquility of a mountain lake.

A limited edition fragrance in collaboration with Lyn Harris.
Connolly is delighted to introduce Cuir de Connolly, a limited edition fragrance made in collaboration with Lyn Harris.
Cuir de Connolly is a fragrance that captures the essence of Connolly’s heritage - a rich, leather-inspired scent wrapped in a handcrafted leather top, it’s atmospheric and undeniably masculine.
Created in collaboration with renowned perfumer Lyn Harris, Cuir de Connolly is an intoxicating blend of leather and vetiver, balanced by smoky, heady notes. Its full-bodied composition evokes memories of Paris in the seventies—masculine, dandy, and undeniably bold. As the fragrance unfolds, it transitions from full-throttle intensity to a soft, lingering warmth.
The journey to Cuir de Connolly began with the creation of the Connolly Candle, where Lyn Harris first dropped the scent into alcohol, sparking the idea of a fragrance.
Seven years later, this distinctive leather-inspired scent was brought to life. The fragrance tells the story of Connolly’s rich history, evoking memories of elegant Parisian menswear shops, nightclubs, and intimate moments. Every bottle and travel spray is meticulously handcrafted, designed with a leather-wrapped top and pouch from Connolly’s workshops, a tribute to its roots.
With a limited edition run of only 200 bottles available, this fragrance is for those who appreciate depth and sensuality. Cuir de Connolly is available in both full-size and pocket-sized travel sprays, perfect for reapplying.
Cuir de Connolly is now available in store at 4 Clifford Street, W1S and online.
