Timeless Gifts

Sustainability is a story told in many ways, from the materials artisan watchmakers use to the inspiration behind each timepiece - sometimes limited to just a very few pieces - it is a reminder that we need to treasure the precious resources that sustain us.

Greubel Forsey

Greubel Forsey places the Earth’s back at the center of its universe with the GMT Balancier Convexe, a new caliber that will replace all previous GMT models from the house. The Earth is showcased at the very heart of an amphitheaterlike construction. It moves in a constant 24-hour rotation, just like the real thing, and the perfect titanium sphere with its continents, seas and oceans remind us of the responsibility we each carry as citizens of this planet. greubelforsey.com

Zenith

Limited to just 20 pieces, the DEFY Extreme E Energy X Prix is a salute to renewable energy. Using recycled and upcycled materials - including the case’s lid coating from E-grip (recycled tires) and plate covering made from parts of an Extreme E racing tarpaulin - the 1/100th of a second chronograph is inspired by the Extreme E electric rally race in Punta del Este, Uruguay. zenith-watches.com

Arnold & Son

This year Arnold & Son’s Perpetual Calendar timepiece is dedicated to the Year of the Rabbit. Limited to just eight pieces, the Perpetual Moon Year of the Rabbit is housed in a 41.5mm, 18-karat red gold case. The elegant timepiece features this beloved animal in a calm yet watchful pose sitting majestically against a backdrop of black aventurine beneath a mother-ofpearl moon, demonstrating not only the brand’s expertise in aesthetics but also in fine watchmaking. arnoldandson.com

Using the world of rock music as its inspiration, the Richard Mille RM 66 Flying Tourbillon required 1,500 hours of research and development, and for all of that is limited to 50 pieces. A horn hand sign symbolizes what its creator calls “a generation, a school of thought, a state of mind.” The five digits of the hand were milled, then transferred to the master engraver to be perfected by the hands of the house’s watchmaking masters. richardmille.com

It is a cabin-first aircraft that combines unmatched personal space, intercontinental range and state-ofthe-art technology. For a similar investment as other large cabin business aircraft, you can enjoy twice the cabin space with lower operating costs and up to 5,650nm intercontinental range from Los Angeles to London, Miami to Buenos Aires or New York to Tel Aviv.

With over 786 square feet of floor space, the expansive six-zone cabin is where the ACJ TwoTwenty really shines. With two extra cabin zones for additional privacy, you can work in a true office environment with a 55-inch 4K TV, best-in-class connectivity or unwind and revitalize in a California King bedroom with en suite bathroom with a rain shower.

So whether it is fine dining, movie night, working from the sky or simply relaxing with your loved ones and cherished guests, we curate the space and technology to enable you to do so without compromise.

As part of the global Airbus family, we are committed to leading the decarbonization of the aviation sector.
