ovember is always a month of celebration for us at Indonesia Tatler, because it’s our birthday! Yes, this year we turn 17, and as always in this month leading up to the festive season, we bring you a very special issue of the magazine to celebrate.

However, this year our celebrations are muted and our hearts a little sad: a few months ago, our beloved Bureau Chief, and my dearest mum, Maria Lukito passed away, leaving her work in this world to be taken up by her children and her grandchildren, and her work in the next to begin.

So this issue, we feature a memorial montage from her memorial service and funeral, which was attended by all the many people she called friends.

However, Ibu Maria would not have wanted us to wallow—this most definitely wasn’t her style— so instead, let me introduce you to this month’s delightful cover girl. Any description of Luna Maya is going to read a little like a shopping list: actress, model, socialite, online entrepreneur and now bricks-and-mortar businesswoman. What you may not know about this bubbly, happy-go-lucky charmer is that she grew up in the wilds of Bali and is very much a nature girl at heart. Her story, then, is naturally entitled “Au Naturel” and I hope you enjoy it.

Elsewhere, with the year’s end approaching, we have rounded up some great gift ideas, both for him and for her. For him, we have a stunning selection of timepieces from some of the world’s biggest brands, with one of my favourites being Hublot’s Big Bang Sugar Skull Fluo collection as featured in the story: “Big, Bold and Beautiful”.

Take a look at the article and you’ll see why we gave it that title. Meanwhile, for female readers, we present our usual selection of style hints, tips and tricks to help you look and feel your best as you strut your stuff at the slew of parties coming up.

Lastly: a word about food. This issue, we begin a regular column looking at the newest, hippest eateries in the capital, with a round-up of places you simply must try. And to bring things full circle—the circle of life, indeed—we look back at a very special dinner held to honour Ibu Maria. Feast with your eyes and, indeed, your hearts.

Happy reading!

—Millie Stephanie Lukito CEO and Bureau Chief indonesia tatler . november 2017

Rahajeng PusPitasaRi Says Rahajeng: “I’m 24 years old, passionate about fashion and simply love art in all forms. I love being involved in such a creative and free process.

What inspires my sense of style? Things I see and experience every day, but mostly art. I also love to thumb through magazines and spend the first hour of every day reviewing all the online fashion news and runways.

“What I love the most about styling is that every day and every job are different. And also I get to work with amazing people, travel to beautiful places and am always learning new things.”

BuBah alfian Bubah Alfian started his career as a hairstylist, while his passion in make-up began to grow when he joined Jember Fashion Carnaval in 2007. Being the firstprize winner in the Gading Beauty Award was his starting point to expanding his career in Jakarta. A few years in the city gave him loads of experience in the make-up industry and magazines.

aRie iRawan Arie began his professional make-up journey eight years ago.

However, he chose to then delve into other businesses until he realised that makeup was his forte. He became popular among the city’s A-listers and within the media industry. He is currently creating his own makeup artist management team to further pursue his dreams and ambitions.

With an extensive range of creative experiences from editorial, portraiture, photojournalistic, to commercial work, he always relies on his instincts to push him beyond the limitations of categorical boundaries.

Bubah was then granted the opportunity and was honoured to be a makeup artist and the head hairstylist for Asia’s Next Top Model cycle 20. He is one of the most wanted make-up artists among the A-listers of the Indonesian society and is the man behind our cover this issue.

Innovative Disruption

artificial intelligence is one of the technologies our future smart devices will boast. Samsung research and Development indonesia’s Alfred Boediman tells us how indonesia will contribute to the technologies of tomorrow, writes Mariel Grazella lfred boediman is not your typical researcher or corporate boffin.

Skin etched with dragon tattoos, the Netherlandsborn engineer is looking to disrupting global technology from within Indonesia. “We believe in glocalization: from Indonesia and for Indonesia with a global reach,” he says.

The Porsche lover is well positioned to put the country on the international innovation map. As Vice President of Samsung Research and Development Indonesia (SRIN), Alfred directly reports to Samsung’s leaders sitting in the South Korean tech giant’s headquarters.

“As part of Samsung’s global research and development family, SRIN is one of the 20+ Samsung R&D centres around the world that strives to support the company’s cutting-edge technologies through unique and specialised core competencies,” he says.

He adds that technologies that the local centre has worked on have included data analytical software found in Samsung’s smart consumer appliances, such as televisions and refrigerators. The team of roughly 150 people is also supporting Bixby, an artificial intelligence (AI) software embedded in the Galaxy S8, S8+, and Note 8 smart phones and tablets.

“I believe that AI will remain as one of the championing global trends of next year,” he says, noting that the advancement of AI will lead to the birth of technologies that will transform smartphones beyond just tools for communication. “AI is making every interface

indonesia tatler . november 2017

both simple and smart, setting a high bar for how future experiences will work,” he says.

To drive innovation onwards and outwards, a company must first be innovative from within.

Alfred points out that he has put a lot of effort into building a culture that nurtures innovation, such as through open management practices.

“What I have learned so far based on personal experience is to break conventional leadership models,” he says. “Being a visionary goes beyond communicating the ‘what’ and should reflect on the ‘why’ also.”

Furthermore, he believes in not allowing setbacks to dampen his zest for keeping on learning and trying. “It is immensely satisfying to eventually shed old uncertainties and begin learning again,” he says.

Establishing a more open culture is critical, he adds, especially when convincing Indonesians overseas to return and work in the country, and in the recruitment and retention of millennials who now form the majority of his team.

“The number-one challenge for us is still people. Trying to get experienced staff is not easy,” he says, pointing out that once trained, some people inevitably chose to leave and set up their own companies.

However, when it’s time to take a break from breaking convention, the 946 Emporio Armani Vespa fan who enjoys riding across Bali hits the kitchen to test his culinary chops.

“I just love going over to the stove and cooking something that will not only take my stress away, but also give me something to eat as well,” he shares.

“I believe that artificial intelligence will remain as one of the championing global trends of next year.”

Building Success

photography: irwan kurnia

agung podomoro Land’s Vice president Director and Senayan City’s CEo, Veri Y. Setiady, talks to Edith Emeralda about how he builds for the future gung podomoro land, one of the biggest companies in the Asian property industry, has survived decades to become the most trusted property developer in Indonesia. The company now has new goals with Vice President Director of Agung Podomoro Land and Senayan City’s CEO, Veri Y. Setiady, as one of its leaders.

The company is continuously developing and expanding because shopping malls are no longer just about convenience, according to Veri. “Malls are a place for people to gather and socialise,” he explains. “It’s important that the right environment is developed to support community interest and growth.”

Almost 20 years of successes have led Veri to grow with the company and to manage a diverse list of properties including prestigious residences, offices, shopping malls and hotels in Jakarta, Bali, and many other cities in Indonesia. From the founder of Agung Podomoro Group, Trihatma Kusuma Haliman, he learned to be fair and to treat people well.

“We work to create a better future every day with brands and services that help people feel good, look good, and get more out of life,” Veri says. “Nowhere is the term ‘maximising shareholder value’ a part of our purpose.”

As the CEO of Senayan City Jakarta, Veri finds that the subject of shopping malls is more complex than ever before. “The industry has since grown and evolved,” Veri says. “Thus, the role of shopping centres can be seen from different perspectives.”

An excellent management team is no longer enough because success requires innovation, ideas and creativity. “Maintaining a shopping mall is actually more challenging and more interesting than opening it,” Veri says.

Today, the digital tipping point continues on its relentless growth trajectory. However,

indonesia tatler . november 2017

brick-and-mortar stores still dominate and retailers need to make attractive stores to be the destinations where people spend time and shop. The team must work hard in keeping the mall fresh and ahead as Senayan City celebrates its 11th anniversary this year. One way to do this, according to Veri, is by setting new benchmarks with world-class standards.

“We have physical and digital strategies,” Veri says. “The physical strategies are to develop and to operate iconic shopping centres in the world’s leading markets focusing on creating flagship malls in which retailers want to have their flagship stores and where shoppers want to shop.” Heavily investing in digital technology, for example, will enhance the shopping experience and help generate sales opportunities for retailers.

Senayan City is now transforming itself to be the next fashion destination by targeting international tenants and A-list brands. “It’s about getting the look and the feel right, plus pushing boundaries in architecture, design, construction and innovation,” Veri says.

The mall also expands its retail, dining and entertainment offers to reinforce its position as one of Jakarta’s top-three shopping destinations.

Veri then introduces the latest dining concept, DELICAE, which is globally inspired featuring 24 new restaurants and which opens seven days a week serving a range of menus from breakfast to dinner. “The best shopping malls recognise that dining and entertainment experiences are just as important as retail for shoppers,” Veri says. “Our vision is to create an iconic experience befitting Jakarta’s reputation as a dining and entertainment capital.

“Senayan City’s latest iconic and unique expanded retail, dining and entertainment always reflect the wants and needs of today’s shoppers in a premium experience—from the moment they walk through our doors,” Veri says in closing.

life | business accordingly to our UOB Privilege Banking first pillar, which is ‘Advice’ to customers.

From here, we use the second pillar— solution—to identify the customer’s risk appetite. With the Smart Risk Approach, UOB Privilege Banking Client Advisor always remind clients about the risks behind each product’s profit potentials. By being honest upfront and building trust, UOB’s customers will appreciate their choice in banking with us.

The third pillar is recognition and access as reflected in UOB’s position as a strong regional bank in Asia that has a big presence not only in Indonesia but also in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and China. In Singapore, for example, our Privilege Banking clients can enjoy medical services and limo transfer service as well as a wide network of ATMs services.

Personal Touches

PT Bank UOB Indonesia now offers a unique hands-on advisory service as part of its UOB Indonesia Privilege Banking that is tailored to each client’s unique banking needs study conducted by uob showed that nine out of 10 banking clients in the middle to upper level all expressed their need to know investments risks before returns. Indonesia Tatler talked to the Deposit, Investment, Insurance Sales and Distribution Head of UOB Indonesia, Victor Teja, about the bank’s newest management’s value proposition, A Smart Risk Approach, a risk first approach to manage clients’ investment portfolio. .

How does the “Smart Risk Approach” work for UOB’s Privilege Banking customers?

By using the Approach—our Client Advisors first identify the client’s plan when joining UOB. Some of the younger ones want to grow their assets as a planned fund for their children’s school expenses or for business needs.

Moreover, the older ones wish to preserve their wealth for their retirement.This process is

94

What strategies do you use in handling a client’s portfolio using the Smart Risk Approach?

From our line of wealth management products, the Approach builds the customer’s investment plan using core or tactical strategies. Core strategy is a long-term plan that assesses deposits and passive income, while tactical strategies are short-term plans by using the market situation. Core is the focused strategy for who wants to preserve wealth—protecting the main assets while supplying some passive income. To grow assets, however, on top of the core strategy we will advise ways to seize market opportunities for more income.

What are the potential risks that UOB is analysing for its Privilege Banking customers?

Market risk, for sure, is the main thing that we assess. The other risk comes from discrepancies between a customer’s risk profile and the product selections. Oftentimes, we ask clients about their ideal potential return and they may say 11 to 12 per cent a year, according to their own calculations.

But based on UOB’s research, 70 per cent of those clients avoid such plan and choose a completely different plan with less volatility and lower potential returns. The cause is from not having enough knowledge and not knowing how to mitigate the risks.

UOB Indonesia supported this approach by continuous training for our sales team to ensure that this approach is used relevant to the current market and customer financial conditions. The training module comprises of knowledge on products and instruments as well as knowledge about local and global market situations. In addition, the training is also including soft skills to ensure that UOB Client Advisors are be able to to understand their clients. indonesia tatler . november 2017

giambattista valli

Elizabeth Taylor once said, “Put on some lipstick and pull yourself together.” How right she was.

Crimson or scarlet, velvety matte or glossy, a dab of lisptick is sometimes all you need to glam up a look and take over the world (or just have a jolly good time). This fall, double up on that power armour with the beauty trend spotted all across the FW17 runways—the two-toned pout. Think top lips in fiery oranges and bottoms in berry glosses, as Trussardi painted by Yadim Carranza at Jason Wu to create an ever-so-subtle orange-red effect. Or emulate Val Garland at Giambattista Valli, who took vampy glamour to the next level with a blood-red ombré and ultra-shiny finish. At Andre Gn and Trussardi, gradient tints of dark plum and faded pink harkened back to the styles of the 1920s. The look is easier to recreate than it lets on, with a slew of new multitoned and textured lipsticks and palettes on the market for every lip persuasion, easily applicable with a single swipe or two. So pucker up and go get ’em. indonesia tatler . november 2017

Art & Science

La Prairie celebrates the 30th anniversary of its iconic Skin Caviar Collection or centuries, caviar has been known to be a magical source of dense, rich nutrients. Scarce and coveted, it is sought after for its power to enrich and regenerate skin. This year, the Swiss luxury skincare brand La Prairie celebrated the 30th anniversary of its iconic Skin Caviar Collection.

100

The Skin Caviar Collection is the pinnacle of science and luxury. All the products in the Collection are infused with the benefits of caviar and La Prairie’s Exclusive Cellular Complex. The Skin Caviar skincare ritual is a total indulgence, profoundly improving the appearance of elasticity and tone, which leaves skin firmed and lifted.

After thoroughly cleansing skin and applying toner, start the La Prairie’s Skin Caviar lifting and firming ritual with Skin Caviar Essence-in-Lotion. Rich in caviar water, it is the very first transformative step in any skincare ritual. Gentle yet effective, it prepares skin for the next steps.

Next, the skin is treated to a truly lavish instant lift with Skin Caviar Liquid Lift, indonesia tatler . november 2017

enriched with caviar extract. An exceptional gravity-defying serum, it provides an immediate lifting and firming sensation with long-lasting effects, making skin appear taut and younger-looking. The ritual continues with the Skin Caviar Luxe Eye Lift Cream, which targets the seven most prominent eye aging areas with an incredibly smooth texture that melts into skin.

A lifting and firming phenomenon powered by a potent concentration of precious caviar extract, the iconic Skin Caviar Luxe Cream nourishes the skin as it lifts and firms. It is also available in a lightweight formulation, the Skin Caviar Luxe Cream · Sheer. Finally, complete the ritual with the Skin Caviar Concealer · Foundation SPF 15, which offers instant, natural-looking perfection that glides onto skin. It gives the complexion a fresh, firm, glowing appearance—the ideal blend of caviar-infused skincare and perfect coverage.

In addition, La Prairie will also launch the new Skin Caviar Absolute Filler. Designed to target the loss of the volume and substance that gives skin its youthful appearance, the Skin Caviar Absolute Filler returns lost density—plumping while helping to reshape and refine the contours of the face and restore its harmony.

La Prairie’s latest caviar technology, used for the first time in Skin Caviar Absolute Filler, features an advanced technological process that captures the most potent nutrients found in caviar. Exclusive to La Prairie, Caviar Absolute contains highly concentrated caviar oil and caviar proteins, the two most powerful ingredients found in caviar.

Combined with La Prairie’s Exclusive Cellular Complex, which uses cutting-edge biotechnological research to give new life and energy back to the very cells where beauty is born, Skin Caviar Absolute Filler recaptures the harmony of younger-looking skin for the face, neck and décolleté.

To celebrate the anniversary, La Prairie has also collaborated with a number of contemporary artists on an art exhibition in Paris, New York, Hong Kong and Shanghai, showcasing five innovative art installations by Paul Coudamy, Bonjour Interactive Lab, Cinq Fruits and TremenS. The exhibition includes one major masterpiece that interprets La Prairie’s latest breakthrough innovation—Skin Caviar Absolute Filler—expressed in Living Cells by Paul Coudamy. This striking piece was unveiled at Art Basel in Basel as part of La Prairie’s newly minted partnership with the world’s premier art fair.

b oot l eg g i ng Hands up if you’ve worn a pair of sleek leather thigh-high boots that were oh-so-sexy but then had to spend half the night pulling them up after they slipped down to your calves. We’ve all been there. Thankfully, the winter warrior has received a more practical update this season courtesy of Anthony Vaccarello at Saint Laurent and the creative team at Isabel Marant. With a slouchy silhouette, the boot allows the fabric to scrunch up near the ankles, and is roomy enough to tuck your skinny jeans or leggings into. Why not try pairing plaid boots with a bold jacket a la Off-White? And if you feel the trend is a tad understated for your taste, you could opt for a jaw-dropping diamante version from Saint Laurent sporting 3,000 rhinestones. As the saying goes, “Go big or go home!”

He founded his own label, Lone Costume, in 1999, and his debut at Seoul Fashion Week was followed by great success. His deftness at deconstruction and unusual silhouettes quickly garnered a cult following, and within eight years he launched Juun J at Men’s Fashion Week in Paris, becoming the first Korean to show on the coveted platform. His grasp of gender-neutral tailoring allowed the rising Korean star, who often credits Helmut Lang as his main inspiration, to develop his own approach to designing, a mix of high-end fabrics with bold cutting that he calls “street tailoring.”

SUNNEI

Bonded by mutual boredom with their 9-to-5 jobs, Italian friends Loris Messina, 29, and Simone Rizzo, 28, started Sunnei in 2014. The duo came up with their brand name after listening to a song that had the word “sunny” as a refrain, and the joyful adjective has come to define much of their design aesthetic. Sunnei’s clothes are youthful and classic but laidback—the perfect embodiment of “Sprezzatura,” an Italian word meaning “studied carelessness” when applied to describing art and literature, and “effortlessly cool” in the context of fashion. In Rizzo and Messina’s collections, this translates into fuss-free silhouettes, experimental fabrics and playful lines, all of which feel right at home in the modern gentleman’s wardrobe. This isn’t merely trendy fashion, mind: the designers have become known for using traditional Italian craftsmanship and manufacturers, paired with high-quality materials and some seriously sharp tailoring. Favourites from this season are drop-shouldered sportscoats and relaxed denim trousers—classics\ streamlined into modernity.

BuLGARI OCTO MASERATI GRANSPORT & GRANLuSSO Maserati has based its reputation, particularly in recent years, on building luxurious sports cars that don’t sacrifice comfort for speed—automobiles as equally at home in a refined, leisurely setting as they are when pushed to the limits of their performance. It is this adaptable quality that Bulgari sought to replicate with the latest in its series of timepiece collaborations with the storied Italian carmaker: the Octo Retro Maserati GranSport and GrandLusso. The monochromatic, DLC-treated steel GranSport is available with either red or blue highlights, while the more formal GranLusso is presented in a sophisticated pink-gold case.

ROGER DuBuIS LAMBORGHINI EXCALIBuR AVENTADOR S On the heels of Roger Dubuis’ recent Pirelli Double Flying Tourbillon (a timepiece affixed to the wrist with a strap made from the tyres of the 2016 Monaco Grand Prix winner), comes another race-bred collaboration, this time with Lamborghini Squadra Corse. Powered by a skeletonised, hand-wound movement in a 45mm rubber-overmoulded carbon/titanium case, the Excalibur Aventador S is available in two auspiciously numbered limited editions, with 88 pieces of the Giallo Orion yellow-accented version, and just eight issued with Arancio Argos orange highlights.

IWC INGENIEuR CHRONOGRAPH SPORT EDITION 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF MERCEDES-AMG This fabulously light 44.3mm titanium timepiece, which resembles IWC Ingenieurs of the mid-20th century, was created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Mercedes-Benz’s high-performance AMG division. The 250-piece edition is powered by an automatic manufacture chronograph movement with flyback function protected by the range’s excellent anti-magnetic casing.

With its luminescence and water resistance to 120 metres, it very nearly qualifies as a diver’s watch, too.

RICHARD MILLE RM 50-03

RALPH LAuREN AuTOMOTIVE TOuRBILLON WATCHES

It’s not often a watch made in collaboration with a carmaker is priced at more than the automobile whose badge it carries. But that’s the situation with Richard Mille’s multimillion-dollar RM 50-03. Produced in cooperation with the brand’s longtime Formula 1 partner, McLaren, the 40g watch is the lightest mechanical chronograph ever made, according to the maker, thanks to a carbon case hewn from cutting-edge nano-material, graphene, and weight savings courtesy of the hand-wound skeletonised tourbillon movement being constructed of titanium and carbon. Many of the 75 pieces were pre-sold to collectors at SIHH, making it an exceedingly exclusive, elusive collectible.

Menswear designer Ralph Lauren, one of America’s most discerning car collectors, continues to assert his horological bona fides with the release of two outstanding timepieces, one a single tourbillon and the other a double. The design is inspired

by Lauren’s 1938 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic Coupe, which has won multiple awards. The 45mm watches, which are both cased in shot-blasted stainless steel with a black finish reminiscent of the Bugatti, feature a bezel in amboyna burl, recalling the handsome finish of the Atlantic Coupe’s polished wood interior. Truly unique— and pure elegance in-car-nate.

Big, Bold and Beautiful

A look into Hublot’s enticing Big Bang Sugar Skull Fluo collection rightening up for spring 2017, Hublot chose to deviate from its classic trademark pieces and come out bold with the Big Bang Sugar Skull Fluo collection, which comes in variations of Cobalt Blue, Sunflower, Hot Pink and Malachite Green.

The stark contrast between the black material and the neon details easily draws attention towards the watch. Opting to embrace Swiss traditions, Hublot has decided to embellish its timepiece with only the finest custom Bischoff embroidery from St Gallen.

The dial bears the Bischoff embroidery skull design on the carbon fibre and black silk organza, which is then sheathed in a 41mm case. Similarly, the skilled artisans used the same embroidery on the straps and seamlessly merged the flower patterns with the skull.

Not only is the dial adorned with the stunning embroidery, each hour is identified by 12 delicate gemstones. Depending on the watch colour, Hublot has assigned either coloured sapphires or tsavorites for each watch. To top it all off, 36 additional gemstones have been aesthetically placed on the bezel to encircle the dial.

If the Big Bang Sugar Skull Fluo intrigues you—as it has with everyone who has laid eyes on it—then do note that it is a limitededition collection. With only 100 pieces for each colour, these painstakingly stunning watches can only be owned by 400 people.

So if you’re one of the lucky ones, flaunt your watch with pride!

French Finesse Richard Mille brings glamour, luxury, and power to the French countryside rt and automobiles recently came together in the most glamorous and luxurious way possible in the countryside of France.

Chantilly played host to Richard Mille’s annual “Arts et Elégance Richard Mille”. Artists, performers and connoisseurs gathered at the Château de Chantilly to appreciate vintage supercars and art flown in especially from the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

The weekend kicked off with the inauguration of an exhibition dedicated to

128

Poussin’s world-renowned painting Le Massacre des Innocents. Guests made their way to the exhibition while being serenaded with performances of Chantilly’s most talented singers and dancers. A stunning mise en scène of Dali’s Metamorphosis of Narcissus was performed at the front of the estate, while a moving rendition of “Hallelujah” was performed in the museum in front of Picasso’s Charnier.

Elegance was found in abundance at the fourth edition of the automobile contest.

Ninety classic cars competed in the Concours d’Etat rally, while close to 800 competed in indonesia tatler . november 2017

the Grand Prix des Club. The two rallies of the day saw rare and sporty supercars race against the clock.

McLaren showed all in attendance the brand’s impressive range on the challenging Mortefontaine circuit. There was also a display of the most famous electric cars throughout automobile history, including the Jamais-Contente 1899, and the avant-garde Porsche Mission E, which boasted 600hp and a 500km range.

This year’s “Arts et Elégance Richard Mille” was even more special as it coincided with Ferrari’s 70th anniversary. Ferrari displayed 30 of its most gorgeous creations, all of which have participated in the 24 Hours of the Le Mans race, the world’s oldest active sports car race in endurance racing. Among 30 cars were indonesia tatler . november 2017

the legendary Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa and 250 GTO. The lawn upon which the cars were displayed was designed by Le Nôtre himself.

A slew of Richard Mille’s most eminent partners and friends was spotted among the crowd over the weekend. Felipe Massa, Romain Grosjean, Alain Prost, Jessica von Bredow-Werndl, Didier Drogba, and Frédéric Sausset were some of the big names spotted mingling at the Richard Mille lounge. Guests were treated to soothing French music from the Belle Epoque On Sunday, Mario Lurashi and his team put on a stunning equestrian set to cap off an amazing weekend. Jean Todt, FIA President, then bestowed honours and prizes upon those with the best showing on the weekend.

The incredibly rare Bugatti 57 S Atlantic and Ferarri 250 Testa Rossa took home the Best of Show awards in their respective categories.

Once again, Richard Mille has seamlessly combined art and elegance with an unforgettable event. The bar was set high, and excitement builds as we look forward to the next edition.

Back in Black Audemars Piguet’s newest Royal Oak timepiece is going to be an instant classic n 1955, audemars piguet crafted and manufactured the world’s first-ever perpetual calendar wristwatch with leap year indication. The perpetual calendar is a reminder that all of time measurement derives from astronomy and naturally occurring cycles.

There were nine timepieces crafted at the time, all in 18ct gold. The Perpetual Calendar has since become a core part of Audemars Piguet’s identity.

1 30

Audemars Piguet has since launched several perpetual calendar wristwatches, among which was the 2016 Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar. Combining yellow gold and the iconic design of Gérald Genta, it was an inimitably complex and beautiful watch.

Today, Audemars Piguet is enriching the illustrious line with yet another instant classic.

More than 600 hours of research went into the development of this new wristwatch.

Decked out completely in hand-finished black ceramic, the newest Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar is a sight to behold.

The signature “Grande Tapisserie” pattern makes a return on a slate-grey dial. It is complemented by black counters, white gold applied to hour markers, Royal Oak hands with luminescent coating, and a black inner bezel. Day, date, month, astronomical moon, and leap year indication hold pride of place on the dial, while the week of the year is displayed on the dial’s outer chapter ring. The astronomical moon is designed to be photo realistic, contrasting it with the rest of the black components.

Housed in an assertively sized 41mm case, the self-winding watch’s larger selfwinding calibre 5134 is fully visible through the glareproofed sapphire crystal caseback.

The black ceramic case is water resistant to 20m. The bracelet that holds the case is black ceramic with titanium Audemars Piguet folding clasp.

Black ceramic is virtually unscratchable, withstands high temperatures and thermal shocks, and is consequently resistant to ageing. Before it can be machined and handfinished, the ceramic needs to be uniform, compact, and ultra-hard. It goes through numerous operations that demand extreme patience and skill. It takes 30 hours to machine, polish, hand-finish, assemble and control the black ceramic bracelet—while it takes only six hours to complete the same process on a stainless-steel bracelet. indonesia tatler . november 2017

Nautical Adventures Chopard reinvigorates the iconic Happy Sport collection with the new Happy Ocean ver since it was launched, the Happy Sport collection has been an undeniable success.

For more than 20 years, the Happy Sport line has delighted fans of chic and sporty watches. Enriched with original creations, it is occasionally offbeat but consistently delightful.

This year, Chopard is once again reinvigorating this iconic collection with the new Happy Ocean. Both sporty and elegant, Happy Ocean is the ideal watch for exploring the ocean floor, relaxing on a yacht or strolling on the sand. As technical as it is fun, indonesia tatler . november 2017

it is waterresistant to 300 metres—100 metres for the gemset version— and beats to the rhythm of a self-winding Chopard movement, developed and produced in the workshops of the Maison in Fleurier.

The concept combines the nobility of diamonds with steel.

Free of any setting, diamonds frolic between two sapphire crystals, illuminating the entire dial. Combined with a large 40mm steel case, the unidirectional rotating bezel with its two-tone blue-turquoise or blueraspberry colours is inspired by azure blue shades and brightly coloured corals, while featuring a wave-shaped design for easier handling under water. The screw-down crown is marked with a C and the caseback is engraved with a wave motif.

The intense blue dial brings to mind the ocean depths and is enhanced with a white minutes hand hemmed with blue or raspberry that glows at night or in dark, deep waters.

The hour-markers and hours hands also illuminate with a blue hue, with all other indications required for diving in green. Five moving diamonds swim around this beautiful aquarium. Adorned with a ripple motif, the brightly coloured straps in turquoise or raspberry rubber and the navy-blue NATO strap are designed to withstand the effects of sand and water.

Happy Ocean also comes in a precious jewellery version, featuring an 18ct white case, and a navy-blue mother-of-pearl dial framed by a fixed bezel set with diamonds, sapphires and either rubies or topazes. These new variations are fitted with an alligator leather strap and a NATO strap in the same navy blue shade. Pre-order yours at your nearest Chopard boutique.

Now it is bringing back a model that hasn’t been seen since the 1950s—the unique Moonphase piece, which was revived and revitalised at Baselworld 2017. The release was a surprise to many as it was an unexpected major development for the Cellini collection.

This is the latest family member in Rolex’s classic collection, and, as part of the Cellini line, Rolex has successfully produced a game-

changing concept distinctive from previous minimalistic designs. As well as seconds, minutes, and hours, the new Cellini Moonphase tells time in the form of a lunar cycle.

The Cellini Moonphase is made of 18ct Everose gold, which provides more than a hint of sophistication and beauty that complements the white lacquer dial. The timepiece is fitted on a brown alligator leather strap with a folding Crownclasp in 18ct Everose gold, a first for a Cellini model.

On the circumference of the dial, there are numbers to represent days of the month and the piece is completed with a blue date hand with crescent moon detailing at the tip.

The Swiss-made watch is protected by an Everose gold case and domed sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating. Inside lies the automatic movement of calibre 3195, which is systemised to guarantee the performance of the watch in terms of precision, power reserve, and self-winding.

Rolex also went the extra mile with a blue enamelled disk located at the 6 o’clock mark that displays the phase of the moon.

Rolex has tested this Moonphase module and guarantees it to work accurately for 122 years, astronomically speaking. The module, which is driven by a self-winding mechanical movement, is entirely manufactured by Rolex, showing the brand’s dedication to innovation and technological advancement The new Cellini Moonphase carries the Superlative Chronometer certification redefined by Rolex in 2015. This exclusive designation testifies that the watch has undergone a series of tests conducted by Rolex according to its own criteria, which exceed watchmaking norms and standards. indonesia tatler . november 2017

Precious Stones Introducing the new high jewellery collection, Résonances de Cartier ike a wave in motion, light echoes through a diamond, illuminating brilliance and lighting its fire. A modernday masterpiece takes form in an infinite rhythm of precious materials and exquisite gems. Meet the new high jewellery collection from the French Maison, Résonances de Cartier.

It starts with a simple yet exceptional stone. The destiny of the stone is sketched, illustrating the essence of the piece it will become. A breath of air washes over the stones. Ablaze, they inhale and exhale, their rhythm steady. A beating heart comes to life, stark shapes pounding, resonating and unleashing their forms. Life-giving pulses, unwavering oscillations, vital rhythms— the stones breathe. A frisson of energy embraces one creation after another, tingling, awakening the senses.

Throughout its history, Cartier has determined the fates of exquisite gems.

Diamonds such as the Williamson, the Hope and the Tereshchenko have been cast as the starring roles in masterful works of style and light. Coloured, fiery and magnificent, all are stones with a storied past. In honouring their eternal beauty, Cartier has changed the course indonesia tatler . november 2017

of history for these legendary gems.

The craftsmen pore over the concept on paper, mapping out every line, shadow and colour before carefully constructing every detail. The magic of Cartier is at work in the hands of expert craftsmen who transform a rare, precious stone in to a multifaceted, exquisite jewellery piece in this collection.

The collection has beautiful variations of rings, bracelets and necklaces that can transform from necklace to tiara or brooch and can be worn in different ways. There are the Twisting Light bracelet, the Ecume necklace or pendant, the Harmonie necklace or pendant, the Clair Obscur ring, the Orbite Ring, the Rhythmic necklace or brooch, the Infinite Motion ring, the Moires necklace, the Eurythmie bracelet, the Hyperbole necklace or tiara, the Retba necklace and the Murmure necklace.

The astonishing pieces are either made of striking materials, including white gold, pink gold or platinum adorned with oval- or pear-shaped diamonds, rose- or brilliantcut diamonds, and precious stones such as briolette-cut rubellite in the Murmure necklace, Ceylon’s cushion-shaped sapphire in the Moires necklace and Colombia’s square-shaped cabochon-cut emerald in the Hyperbole necklace.

Louis Vuitton celebrates its haute maroquinerie service with a worldwide launch event in Singapore. Kay Fong discovers the world of possibilities this bespoke service offers

ick a shade of python, then accent it with a precious stone such as agate. Or would you prefer a stunning piece of crocodilian leather, its beauty augmented by hand-painted strokes. Then, there are exquisite ostrich and lizard options for a classic appeal. And we haven’t even started on fur yet.

The journey of creating something that is truly unique, with access to an extensive range of rare skins and Louis Vuitton’s renowned savoir faire is part of the magic of its haute maroquinerie service. The maison’s origins lie in crafting bespoke trunks for its clientele of well-heeled bourgeoisie under the stewardship of its eponymous founder. While it continues to equip its jet-setting clients with customised trunks to accompany them on their travels, Louis Vuitton has also extended this tradition to its haute maroquinerie service, where its most exclusive customers are given the opportunity to add a touch of their own style and personality to the maison’s iconic bags.

ALL WRAPPED UP A suede bow is tied around the Capucines bag in natural python for 48 hours to maintain its form

indonesia tatler . november 2017

Established in 2011, this service allows customers a chance to explore different colours and textures of leather, enabling them to put their own stamp of creativity on the maison’s covetable bags, including the Noe, Triangle, Lockit, Milaris, Neo Steamer and the latest addition, the new classic Capucines.

With the inclusion of the Capucines bag style in the haute maroquinerie service in September 2015, Louis Vuitton allows customers to explore their creativity with a style that takes its name from the very foundations of the brand, as the maison opened its first boutique selling trunks on rue Neuve-des-Capucines in Paris in 1854.

The style itself was first seen on the runways in 2013 and is known for its single or tricoloured design. While the shape and form of the Capucines is one that is classic, it has also lent itself to playfulness and dramatic colour, with interesting variations in material combinations. The ultra-wearable shape and soft leather give the bag an almost-casual feel, making it easy to carry every day.

Ultimately, however, the bag is all about heritage. As expected with Louis Vuitton, the beauty lies in the details. The outline and engraved rivets subtly reference the brand’s signature, age-old trunks, while the quatrefoil clover petal and rings connecting the bag

STYLE CANVAS The classic Capucines bags (opposite) can be customised and rendered in different exotic skins, including ostrich, lizard, alligator, shagreen and python (above)

and the handle are subtle nods to the brand’s jewellery collections.

Despite its classic shape, the bag has great potential for originality, as the crux of the haute maroquinerie service is that the potential lies in the hands of the customer.

Whether you prefer your Capucines in a mini BB or medium MM size, the possibilities are endless. There are countless permutations available, with 26 calf leather and 16 crocodile leathers to choose from, and the option of 27 goatskin or lambskin colours for the lining.

You can opt for gold or palladium hardware for the final touch, and for a dash of flourish, you can also opt to emboss your bag with a 25-character personalised message. This service is offered at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands flagship store, Ngee Ann City and Ion Orchard boutiques, and the process can take from five to 12 months. The bag is truly a feat of handcraftsmanship, and requires over 300 complex steps that include selecting by hand only the finest quality leathers, finishing the edges, and stitching the leather.

On September 22, Louis Vuitton hosted in Singapore its first-ever worldwide, largescale event for its haute maroquinerie service, and offered a wide range of exotic, bright-coloured leathers. The use of exotic

The Capucines is the perfect canvas to customise a bag unique to an individual. Its place firmly cemented in the maison’s history, its future can only move forward creatively, in the confident hands of Louis Vuitton’s leather craftsmen. indonesia tatler . november 2017

A u N At u r e l Luna Maya is a nature girl at heart, having grown up in the

wilds of Bali. But her most recent ventures have been in the fashion industry. Maina A. Harjani shares her story.

ressed in a plain white t-shirt and light blue boyfriend jeans coupled with a pair of sneakers and an oversized tote bag, the glamorous luna maya breezes into the dressing room of the city’s kalijodo skate park like an absolute natural.

Currently tied up with the release of a new movie and a few business ventures—the latest being the inauguration of Rentlux Studio— Luna was born and raised on Bali and has fond memories of salt water washing in between her toes and wandering through luscious rice fields.

Aside from a love of nature, Luna also spent her time indulging in Disney movies and going to the cinema. Her favourite Disney classic is still Mary Poppins, a movie that left an indelible mark on her heart and which is the reason she is where she is today.

“It was Mary Poppins that gave a 7-year-old girl the dream and encouragement to be an actress. Ever since that day, I chose to dive into the entertainment industry and have not looked back since,” says Luna.

With growing up among many ambitious people, Luna too was always looking for other opportunities to turn her passions into reality.

Two and a half years ago, she created Luna Habit—an online clothing website that best describes her panache and personal taste.

With her casual yet chic sense of style, it is no surprise that Luna is an avid Balenciaga fan. She admits to being fond of the brand’s collection and owning many of their casual and dressy pieces. Some of her notable favourites are the brand’s daily handbags and jackets. “Balenciaga bags are a must-have and the brand’s style is cool, funky and eclectic, which suits my personality extremely well,” Luna explains.

Her most recent business venture, Rentlux Studio, is a one-stop destination for women who want to look fashionable at affordable prices. Rentlux rents out a variety of local and international designer-wear for those who need outfits for special occasions.

“Other than renting clothes, we also

148

provide pre-wedding packages with an inhouse stylist and photographer. At Rentlux, our clients are well-provided-for with top notch services to suit their needs,” she says.

A happy-go-lucky and bubbly character, Luna is also an avid traveller, foodie and explorer at heart. Eastern Indonesia, she admits, is her favourite part of the country.

“I can’t say I have a particular favourite in Europe because each city I visit comes with its own memorable experience,” she says.

Despite being the career-oriented woman she is, Luna hopes to have a family of her own in the next five to 10 years. However, the most important thing to her is an “upgrade” in all areas of life—to be happier, healthier and always striving to be in a better place.

And succeed she just might. After a successful day on location, we gathered that persistence, consistency and hard work are the three most important entries in Luna’s dictionary of life. Long may she keep upgrading.

Finishing touches From above: Decorating the wagyu dish; operating the smoking machine

The Bon Vivant A group of close family and friends gather to celebrate Maria Lukito through the delicacies she loved thanks to Amuz’s Chef Gilles Marx.

Edith Emeralda writes link! eight flutes met in cheer to the good memories of the late Maria Lukito, as clear and daring as the Krug Rosé itself. More remarks and banter resonated in the warm wood-panelled room as the group settled white napkins on laps and the dinner in memory of Ibu Maria started. The door opened and a very unique perfume wafted in the air filling the room with particles too particular for one’s memory.

“October to November is the short season for white truffles,” Chef Gilles Marx said.

“This first batch had just been hand carried to Amuz directly from Alba in Italy’s north.”

As one of Maria’s favourite ingredients, truffle was the star that night starting from delicate shavings atop creamy chestnut soup to amuse the palate. Caviar was another, simply served on a bed of ice with fresh blinis, chopped herbs and other traditional accompaniments.

Angel hair pasta, a favourite of hers and other diners at Amuz, came next, moistened to a beautiful glisten with truffle cream indonesia tatler . november 2017

sauce. The butler also returned with the unmistakable square-shaped tool to carefully shave more white truffles on top. Still lingering on the tastebuds after a few sparing bites, the fungi’s intense, though delicate, flavour returned yet with a more delectable pairing.

Soft, white and juicy Canadian lobster brought to a slight charred-sweetness from pan roasting arrived on the table with savoury spring vegetable ragout. Eager forks and knives waited with palpable delight as the white truffle arrived in its full glory to crown the fresh crustacean in flavours unmistakably rich and rewarding. Alas, this was the last course featuring Italy’s prized fungi before the dinner took a route closer to home.

One of the choicest cuts Maria loved was sirloin from Japan’s wagyu raised in the greens of Miyazaki prefecture. Simply grilled to a pink perfection before being thinly sliced to showcase the intricately dense marbling, the wagyu and a few drops of chimichurri sauce intermingling with its juice completed the heavenly experience.

Stories flowed generously and the Châteauneuf-du-Pape swilled gracefully around the table when Chef Gilles’s new Amuz signature dish arrived to delight the diners.

Whimsy in mushroom shapes and colours, the Alsace-born chef revisited the beloved Forêt Noire—or Black Forest cake—and turned all its classical flavours the contemporary way.

All of the creations made by Chef Gilles during Amuz Group’s seven years, and his four types of dining services in Jakarta, couldn’t be mentioned without remembering Maria’s love and support for it all. “I’ve been in Indonesia for 18 years now and Ibu Maria was always one of Amuz Group’s great supporters—also the whole French food industry here,” Chef Gilles indonesia tatler . november 2017

“The door opened and a very unique perfume wafted in the air filling the room with particles too particular for one’s memory.” said. “I can only be grateful for all that she did for us and the industry, which is something very particular that few people could do.”

Closing off the dinner on an amiable note, a few chosen tiny pastries and sweets accompanied warm cups of coffee and tea for the group. Out of all French’s classic confections, however, Chef Gilles said that Maria’s favourite soufflé perfectly embodied her.

Although a staple dessert at Amuz, she would always call ahead to make sure its availability.

One day, the team decided to tease her by saying that they ran out of ingredients for the soufflé. “What?” Maria asked, in much surprise. “That means I have no dessert tonight.” At the meal’s end, after delivering every other dessert on the table and waiting a few moments, the chef entered bearing the soufflé for Maria. “I remembered her laugh and expression in delight and amazement then,” the chef said. “The soufflé’s generous, passionate flavour combined with its strong characters inside was just like her—not to mention that it’s so very sweet.”

All the freshest ingredients of the evening were generously supplied by Indonesia’s elite gourmet purveyor, Indoguna. indonesia tatler . november 2017

he two towers of Sampoerna Strategic Square stand tall amid the crowded region of Central Jakarta.

Tucked away in a corner is Iseya Japanese Restaurant, a serene space in which to escape from the daily hustle and bustle while enjoying delicious Japanese fare.

Founded in 2012, Iseya Japanese Restaurant is renowned for the freshest of ingredients, from vegetables to meats and seafood, flown in from different parts of Japan. As the seasons change in Japan, so does the menu at Iseya. Our guests for the afternoon were Vanessa and Claudia Ong. At the entrance, the two sisters were greeted by sting rays and arowanas—symbols of good fortune—swimming gracefully in an oversized aquarium. An attendant dressed in kimono then led the sisters to one of the private rooms for a meal especially prepared by Head Chef Moriya Hidetsugu.

The first two courses of the meal showcased the range of Iseya’s offerings.

The opening appetiser consisted of prawn, scallop, roasted chicken and beef tataki, each wonderfully complemented by its own sauce or puree. The broth that came next indonesia tatler . november 2017

was served in quaint, individualised kettles.

As the soup was poured out, a most alluring aroma filled the room. The Dobin Mushi, a traditional seafood broth, is prepared with gindara, mushrooms and prawns giving it its sweet fragrance and powerful taste.

We caught up with our guests as the plates were cleared. Vanessa and Claudia are not only sisters, but are also business partners.

Choosing to go independently from their family business, the two sisters set up their own jamu enterprise. One of their biggest goals was to reintroduce jamu—herbal elixirs traditionally consisting of turmeric, ginger, and rice—to the next generation.

They started with Jamu Workshop in 2014. As the name suggests, the sisters hold workshops in which participants get to learn about and mix their own bottles of jamu.

Earlier this year, they expanded their business to selling and delivering packaged jamu. Their

“Vanessa and Claudia are both black belts in taekwondo, having trained throughout grade school and high school.” sales channels include attending bazaars, online marketplaces, and Instagram—all easily accessible by the younger generation.

Crossing the Ong sisters means to prepare for a world of hurt. Vanessa and Claudia are both black belts in taekwondo, having trained throughout grade school and high school.

When asked if they still remember all their moves, both sisters replied with an emphatic “of course!” With their taekwondo black belts around their waists, the two sisters remain active by running regularly and taking part in marathons. Vanessa also trains in muay Thai, while Claudia is an aspiring equestrian.

The conversation was interrupted as we all caught a glimpse of the next dish. It was the signature Iseya Lobster Sashimi. Fresh lobster is boiled very briefly so as to make sure each bite is filled with the freshest flavours and natural sweetness. The plate served that

166

day was extra-special as it came with a side of lobster eggs. Chef Moriya also prepared a special carpaccio sauce for dipping, which was a hit with the sisters.

The two main courses for the afternoon then followed: Grilled Lobster and Hokkaido Tokachi Beef. The beautifully seasoned lobster was covered in a sauce that was made from the rest of the lobster. The lobster was tender, sweet, and bursting with flavour in each bite. Pan-seared scallops with seaweed sauce complete the seafood main course.

Only the finest cut of beef was selected for the final course. Grade A5 Japanese beef was cooked to the perfect mediumrare temperature. The knife sliced through each juicy piece effortlessly. Teppan-grilled vegetables, with parsnips and Japanese pumpkin puree, balanced the meaty dish.

It was a fitting and filling end to a most exquisite meal.

Five Fabulous Food Havens In a new section dedicated to all Jakarta’s foodies, Indonesia Tatler has scoured the city and gathered five of the hottest recent openings to try out this month

momozen

Up high on the 46th floor of Plaza Tower, Momozen pampers diners with views of the Jakarta skyline and sumptuous Japanese menus. Truffles are one of the main stars here, from being paired with silky somen served cold, with rice and dashi broth mixed table-side, or with rice and truffle butter stuffed in a grilled baby chicken. The small bites are also headily addictive, from fresh Hokkaido scallops to squid jerky and frogs’ legs.

kaUm

The first Kaum opened in Hong Kong last year and entered Hong Kong and Macau’s Michelin Guide this year. Another then opened in Bali before Jakarta finally got a branch with lovely high-ceiling colonial rooms decorated in lovely Indonesian touches. Expect deliciously authentic Indonesian menus rarely served in other places, such as the spiced gomak noodle from North Sumatera, kue lumpur with black sticky rice from Java, and fresh Malukustyle marinated raw tuna.

one eyed Jack Another one from Culinary Collective and right next door to Up in Smoke, One Eyed Jack is Chef Rapha Menchaca’s Jakarta brainchild after two successful branches in Bali. A sleek, relaxing gastro-pub perfect for winding down after hours, One Eyed Jack serves a long list of classic cocktails, Japanese-fusion mixtures, sakes, Japanese whiskies and beers, and many other drinks.

On the food side is an array of yakitori skewers, rice bowls and delicious desserts.

indonesia tatler . november 2017

Up in Smoke With two big smokers and one parilla grill faithfully labouring in the back, Up in Smoke serves the rare (here, anyway) Western-style barbeques for all dedicated meat-lovers in Jakarta.

Located on the ground floor of the RDTX Tower in Mega Kuningan, the simple and cosy atmosphere is perfect to breathe in the smokiness of brisket, rib-eye steak, wild boar sausage, or chicken. Desserts and drinks are also available from banana cream pie and s’mores to beers and wines.

mr Fox

Recently opened and making news with his fabulous fare, Mr Fox’s humble hideaway in the Energy Building reflects his love of travel from the interesting food and cocktails down to the decorations. Helmed by Chef Vebrina Hadi, the fluffiest tape-filled Greek loukoumades doughnut meets its match in mixologist Peter Seabrook’s Madame St Germain decked in edible flowers. Mr Fox will soon wake earlier to serve tasty breakfast power-ups such as the Es Teler Smoothie Bowl.

LIFE | WINE DOMAINE ZIND-HUMBRECHT PINOT GRIS ALSACE GRAND CRU RANGEN DE THANN CLOS SAINT URBAIN 2015 This is dailed back and dailed in. The purity is superb, with crushed apple, peach, lemon and slate character. Full body, lightly sweet and very fruity but the linear length and focus are impressive. Like tasting freshly picked grapes.

Drink now or hold for as long as you like. Energy. Purity. Almost minty finish.

From biodynamically grown grapes. 97 points

ALSACE SASS Riesling continues to dominate the quality wine vibe in Alsace, but pinot noir has an exciting profile that may one day equal the greats of Burgundy, writes James Suckling after tasting more than 500 wines in the region with his eponymous website’s contributing editor, Stuart Pigott. Alsace wines are different and more minerally than any place in the world, he says in nominating his top 10 Alsace wines of 2017

MURÉ RIESLING ALSACE GRAND CRU VORBOURG CLOS ST LANDELIN SELECTION DE GRAINS NOBLES 2015 Enormously dense, dried-fruit aromas, lush and tropical almost to the point of decadence.

However, there’s enough acidity to carry this.

The true depths are still buried beneath all the richness. If you want to experience them, you will have to wait until maybe 2025, though this wine could live 50 years.

Made from biodynamic grapes, Demetercertified. 98 points

168

DOMAINE OSTERTAG RIESLING ALSACE GRAND CRU MUENCHBERG 2015 A dense yet energetic white with sliced peach, flint and stone character.

Medium to full body, solid palate and a fresh, vivid finish. Made from organically grown grapes.

Demeter-approved. Drink now. 98 points

FAMILLE HUGEL RIESLING ALSACE SCHOELHAMMER 2008 A very complex rose petal and herbal riesling that is ridiculously fresh for almost a decade of age. Very muscular and concentrated, but still cool and fresh with enormous mineral depth at the finish. Just coming to its peak, but decades of ageing potential. 96 points

ALBERT MANN PINOT NOIR ALSACE GRAND H 2015 Dark, powerful and ripe with plenty of dry tannins. This wine carries all that rather well and the finish is long and balanced in spite of the massive tannic structure.

This has so much that isn’t yet showing properly. Try to be patient, because this will be better from 2019 through to 2030. 97 points

indonesia tatler . november 2017

SCHOFFIT GEWURZTRAMINER ALSACE GRAND CRU RANGEN CLOS SAINT THEOBALD SELECTION DE GRAINS NOBLES 2006 Hold on to your hat. Deep amber colour. Enormous crème brûlée character and enormous power, but there’s also enough acidity to keep it clean.

Very long finish with intense caramel, but also cinnamon and allspice notes. Ought to keep for another couple of decades. 97 points

DOMAINE VALENTIN ZUSSLIN RIESLING ALSACE GRAND CRU PFINGSTBERG VENDANGES TARDIVES 2015 This is quite sweet, but don’t imagine there’s anything simple or superficial about this wine at all. In fact, it has great mirabelle fruit, enormous structure and a minerality that just won’t let you go at the very long finish. Better from 2020 when the sweetness is less obvious. Will age for decades. Made from biodynamic grapes.

Ecocert-certified.

96 points

DOMAINE WEINBACH RIESLING ALSACE GRAND CRU SCHLOSSBERG VENDANGES TARDIVES 2015 The freshness and concentration of this superelegant riesling literally take your breath away.

Diamond-like brilliance and superfine peach, citrus and tropical flower aromas. Some sweetness, though you barely notice it, and at the finish there is stunning mineral freshness. You could drink it now, but in five, 10, 20 and more years it will also be spectacular. 97 points

ALBERT MANN PINOT NOIR ALSACE LES SAINTES CLAIRES 2015 If you haven’t realised what Alsace is doing with pinot noir, then this would be a great place to start. Fragrant and refined, with great fruit and very elegant tannins. This is the real thing. The finish is very long and elegant.

Beautiful now but will keep for 20 years.

97 points

F E TRIMBACH RIESLING ALSACE CLOS SAINTE HUNE 2011 This is really deep and dense with a long, long finish. It’s full-bodied plus has mineral, salt and dried fruits. Very powerful with a super finish that’s generous and sexy.

Available in 2018. 95 points To see more of the top 2017 wines from Alsace, visit jamessuckling.com

LIFE | travel ith its stunning, picturesque views and unique culture, Greece is deservedly one of the top vacation destinations in the world, housing some 18 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, many of which date back millennia. The islands surrounding mainland Greece are just as beautiful, with Santorini and Mykonos offering stunning views of splashy blue seas and expansive skies. Fancy a trip to Greece? Read on to find out about the best places to visit, stay and dine.

The first stop on any trip should be Athens, the capital city of Greece. Kick off your journey by walking uphill to see the Acropolis, the ancient citadel that contains the remains of ancient buildings of great architectural and historic significance, the most famous being the Parthenon. Then stroll around Thissio, a lovely neighbourhood right in under the Acropolis that is packed with outdoor

176

cafeterias, making it a favourite coffee spot for locals and tourists. Another must-visit is Plaka, the most picturesque residential quarter in the heart of Athens, with its lovely paved streets and neoclassical houses. Don’t forget to shop for gifts and souvenirs at Monastiraki’s flea market, a bustling, vibrant area that is also home to plenty of cafés and restaurants.

Feeling a bit adventurous? Trek up Lycabettus Hill, the highest point in Athens, which offers breathtaking, panoramic views.

Visit the modern Piraeus, the largest port in Greece and, relax at the lovely seaside coffee shops. For scenic photography lovers, the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion—one of the oldest temples in Greece—won’t disappoint, with its magnificent and magical views over the cerulean-blue Aegean Sea. While in Athens, tantalise your taste buds at Michelin-starred restaurants like Spondi and Hytra. Spondi boasts signature dishes that include Langoustine, Crab and Milk-fed Lamb, while Hytra has two distinct menus for discerning diners: Hytra Gourmet and

Hytra Apla. Alternatively, head to Island Club & Restaurant in Athens Riviera, where you can dine and dance by the beach and enjoy a spectacular show of fireworks.

Next stop is Santorini, the most popular island in Greece. Santorini is the perfect travel destination: a combination of beautiful beaches, spectacular scenery, ancient

cities and amazing restaurants like Aegeon Restaurant in Imerovigli, with its famous dishes like Aegean Sea Bass Fillet and Grilled Squid. While breathing in fantastic sunset views, enjoy a sumptuous dinner at Argo Restaurant, which offers up a very special lobster spaghetti, as well as fresh fish and a special menu for vegetarians.

Take time out to visit the ancient city of Akrotiri, as well as the magical Firostefani village, a quiet and beautiful village in Santorini with a stunning caldera view and the hidden gem of Pyrgos Village. Pyrgos is located on a fabulous spot on top of a hill, the

highest point of Santorini, and offers incredible panoramic views of the whole island.

On to the north-western tip of Santorini is the coastal town Oia. For lunch, head to Ammoudi Fish Tavern, an iconic seafood restaurant at Ammoudi Bay and sail around the famous Red, White and Black Beach taking a dip in the green sulphur waters of the hot springs. And one thing you mustn’t miss in Oia is the stunning sunset views in Santorini, best enjoyed while having a scrumptious barbecue on the boat.

From Santorini, head to Mykonos, Greece’s most famous cosmopolitan island.

Depending on your schedule, you can take either the 150-minute ferry ride or the 30-minute helicopter ride. Although shorter, the helicopter ride offers panoramic views of the islands from above and you can take wonderful landscape shots.

In Mykonos, venture to the charming Little Venice, not far from the famous white windmills. Little Venice is a collection of twoand three-storey medieval houses built right on the waterfront at the most westerly point indonesia tatler . november 2017

of Chora. Bright colours on wooden balconies decorate these former fishing houses that once belonged to shipping merchants and captains and which have since been converted into bars, cafés and galleries. While there, stroll through Matoyianni Street, the main shopping district in Mykonos, lined with designer boutiques, souvenir shops and enticing restaurants in tiny squares.

Want to spice up your trip with fun activities? Rent a speedboat, go for a swim in Psarou Beach, or have a delectable lunch in Nammos, the trendiest beach restaurant in Mykonos, and a gastronomic dinner at Interni Restaurant. As the night draws on, go for cocktails and a dance at the hottest nightspots in Mykonos—the Buddha-Bar Beach, the hip beach club Scorpios and Cavo Paradiso club at Paradise Beach, one of the most renowned summer clubs in Europe, with regular lineups of top-flight DJs such as Tiesto, Axwell and Paul van Dyk. Finally, at journey’s end, it’s time to fly back home with unforgettable memories and loads of wonderful photos. See you another time, amazing Greece!

LIFE | TRAVEL

I

t’s not uncommon for diners at nearby tables in restaurants, or new arrivals on the way to their seats, to appraise your selection as the waiter places it before you, but it’s quite something else to have your perfectly cooked fish surveyed by its own brethren from the flood-lit waters encompassing your intimate perch on the bed of a lagoon. This is 5.8 Undersea Restaurant, the signature eatery of the latest luxury retreat in the Maldives, Hurawalhi, and the dining experience is as captivating as the vibrant congregation ducking and weaving beyond the glass.

As the name suggests, we’re dining nearly six metres under the shimmering surface of Lhaviyani Atoll’s pristine lagoon, a 40-minute flight in the resort’s own seaplane from the archipelago’s international airport on the main island of Malé. While underwater dining is not a new experience in the Maldives, a destination that counts a brunch hot spot, a jazz club and even a spa among its underwater venues, 5.8 trumps them with the imaginative, eclectic cuisine of shy German chef de cuisine Bjoern van den Oever, a veteran of Michelinstarred kitchens. His degustation menu, packed with flavour and innovation and paired with excellent wines, is served to no more than 10 couples in the intimate setting per sitting.

It’s all very sophisticated, but that’s what you’d expect from an unapologetically adultsonly, all-inclusive retreat.

With its world-class dining and crisp, intelligent service, Hurawalhi Maldives Resort sets itself apart from many of the sun-kissed settings of the sprawling Indian Ocean nation. But most important for me is the resort’s ability to keep other people’s little darlings out of the picture. The banishing of children under 15 leaves beaches free of sand castles, mealtimes undisturbed by temper tantrums, and long, lazy mornings to savour uninterrupted by ear-piercing squeals.

You’d be forgiven for rarely venturing from your villa. Hurawalhi has 90 of them— the Beach Villas nestled on white sand and shrouded by lush foliage, the Ocean Villas perched above a reef that meanders through the lagoon. Some have private plunge pools, but that’s the only difference. All are bright, spacious and airy, with splashes of bold colours calmed by polished timber floors. The

bathrooms, big enough for tae-bo sessions, open onto a sweeping sundecks with versatile shading. There’s high-speed internet, 48-inch flatscreen televisions, heavenly king-sized beds facing the ocean, minibars and wine fridges packed with all-inclusive goodies, and diligent villa attendants to ensure you enjoy niggle-free hibernation.

When you feel like being active, there’s plenty outside the villas to keep you occupied: a tennis court, games room, a water sports centre with Hobie Cats, wake boards and jet skis, a resident marine biologist, and an outpost of Pro Dive offering courses and experiences for those who like to explore below the waves.

Early one morning I head out with Dutch dive master Morton. At Hurawalhi—unlike at some of the Maldives’ bigname resorts, built on manmade islands a long boat ride from decent coral gardens— you simply step off the end of one of the resort’s two piers to immerse yourself in the captivating colours of the vibrant house reef. We trace our way along mesmerising coral walls that are home to blennies, coral hawkfish, hawksbill sea turtles, blacktip reef sharks and squadrons of eagle rays. If you time your visit right, you can also see manta rays just metres from the resort.

Later that afternoon, my wife and I join a clutch of the resort’s rather gorgeous guests and take to the house reef again for the guided snorkelling excursion included with our packages. Within waiter-hailing distance of the main bar, we’re joined by curious Moorish idols, Napoleon wrasse and elegant eagle rays, which show off in the shallows before diving deep.

It’s a great way to build up an appetite to sate at any of the resort’s culinary

destinations—where there isn’t a bib, high chair or kids menu in sight. Above Van den Oever’s temple of underwater dining is the Aquarium Restaurant, which serves a contemporary menu of delectable Asian-inspired bites laced with organic ingredients. Its intimate teppanyaki bar is popular with couples soaking up the night air.

At the other end of the resort, the Champagne Pavilion is the perfect spot for enjoying breathtaking sunsets with a selection from the romantic bar’s extensive list of vintage champagnes (it’s also the best location for dolphin spotting).

But the heart of this toddler-free utopia is Coco Bar, which is adjacent to the resort’s infinity pool. Here, sharing-style snacks and tiki-esque cocktails are served to the nightly accompaniment of live music and DJs. indonesia tatler . november 2017

Just steps away, a multinational culinary team led by dynamic young Kiwi executive chef Shannon Batten cooks up a storm at the live stations of the stunning Canneli Restaurant, a shrine to great global cuisine.

Hurawalhi’s blissful isolation seems to have little impact on the freshness and diversity of ingredients. One night we’re feasting on Maldivian and southern Indian curries, the next we’re whisked away to Italy, complete with caviar-topped pasta dishes, and jetfresh oysters and lobster.

To make the most of your escape from the coalface, be sure to book a candlelit dinner on Dream Island, a picturesque sandbank peeking above the water, and make a beeline for Duniye Spa, an intimate, elegant wellness enclave that boasts an extensive menu of Asian-inspired treatments using Healing Earth organic products.

Sai ling in Par adiS e Travel by yacht through the beautiful and remote islands of Indonesia exploring stunning blue seas and oceans, great diving spots, and blend-in with locals and traditional culture, Dewi Irma writes Photography TANIA ARAUJO and SEQUOIA

ith more than 17,000 islands, Indonesia is indeed the world’s largest archipelago. While Bali or Komodo are usually the destinations most familiar or well-known for tourists or foreign visitors, there are many more equally gorgeous and fascinating islands to visit in Indonesia.

Even though lesser-known and generally uninhabited, these idyllic and remote destinations have a lot of treasures, from an

amazing variety of volcanic scenery, marine life, vibrant cultures, and sailing and diving adventures, all waiting to be experienced.

And there is simply no better way to explore, snorkel or dive the remote islands of Indonesia and beyond other than through booking or chartering a yacht, especially if you love discovering the beauty of our country’s hidden tropical and marine paradises.

And more new boats keep coming to Eastern Indonesia’s waterways thanks to a surge in new passengers who are attracted to cruising and more immersive travel experiences. These include the Sequoia,

a new luxury yacht that was launched in August.

Yessi Maya Sari and her husband Kevin M. Corcoran manage the boat under Coral Triangle Safaris (CTS). Both are passionate about sharing with other people their love of the sea, nature, sailing, diving, and culture.

As such, the boat sails to a wide range of destinations within Eastern Indonesia, including Lesser Sunda Islands, Maluku and West Papua, with the price starting from US$5,000 all-inclusive while onboard.

In September, Indonesia Tatler boarded the Sequoia’s expansive 26-by-6.65-metre area and spent six days cruising along 460 kilometres from Maumere Bay to Alor Island in East Nusa Tenggara province. Once we set foot on the Sequoia, it was clear to see that this boat is Indonesia-themed, with all the wood sourced locally and fashioned by Indonesian carpenters from Tana Beru in Sulawesi. This is added to with the textiles and custom-crafted Indonesian accessories that adorn the interior.

Named after the giant Sequoia tree—one of the oldest living organisms on Earth—this yacht is indeed a modern-day interpretation of the traditional Indonesian phinisi ship: a marriage of Indonesia’s 500-year-old history of wooden boat construction in the Bugis tradition with contemporary touches and indonesia tatler . november 2017

advanced American marine technology.

On our first day, we had not yet started sailing, but our trip started with exploring Maumere and we got a glimpse of the city’s major points of interest, like Alok Market and Tanjung Beach. The next morning, we didn’t forget to take time to enjoy the breathtaking sunrise at Kelimutu National Park and visit the oldest church in Flores Island located at Sikka village, as well as witnessing the ancient handicraft production of ikat weaving.

Afterwards, we began sailing, moving and passing through from Babi Island to Pangabatang Island to Watupeni Island to Keroko Island, then Konawe Island, Adonara Island, Pura Island, Reta Island, and Alor Island. You may never have heard of these remote locations, but they have their own immense beauty. And among the sailing and island hopping, we enjoyed everything from water activities to island exploration.

ISLAND EXPLORATION Clockwise from left: An amazing view of the tricoloured lakes of Mount Kelimutu at sunrise; a local from Takpala village with his traditional attire; witnessing the tradition of making ikat from the cotton separation to the weaving process

Yes, the Sequoia is well-equipped for divers who want to enjoy underwater encounters with vibrant coral reefs and playful fish, with a dive instructor and master on board and all the necessary equipment. But other than diving, there are also snorkelling, kayaking, water-skiing, tubing, paddle-boarding, deepsea fishing to picnics on the beach. Even if you only want to laze, there’s nothing like being on undiscovered stunning beaches with no other people. Chilling out in total privacy: it is truly a luxury.

Doing a bit of island exploration is also never dull, interacting with local tribespeople and learning about their traditional cultures and daily lives. Among memorable events for us was when the children of local villages sweetly welcomed and sang to us with enthusiasm and a group of local women, selling their incredible ikat, were excited to board the ship and kindly taught us to weave various handcrafts.

The experience was made complete with exquisite dining options that are available on board to enjoy. From Pan Seared Salmon with Truffled Pomme Puree, Portabello Arancini with Bechamel Sauce and Pomodoro, Prawn Coriander Roll with Avocado Salsa, Gohu Tuna Fish, to Selat Solo, there are dozens of fusion indonesia tatler . november 2017

dishes of Indonesian, Asian and Western to tantalise all taste buds; it emphasised fresh, local ingredients, and we could even ask the chef to cook what we just bought from the market.

After we tired of water activities and island exploration, we returned for relaxation in a cabin, in which there are two chic deluxe cabins (Master Suite and Guest Suite) with attached bathrooms, electrical power, hot water, AC, and satellite TV, making the Sequoia fit for a family charter or a small group of friends. We could also relax at the galley, or on an open-air sky deck or bow deck while enjoying the sunset. Luckily, we also spotted whales that suddenly appeared, as well as migrating bats in the dawn as they headed for their roosts.

Yessi believes that Indonesia has been reborn and is on the move in many ways; it is now changing as the world wakes up to discover the limitless potential of the fourth most populous country in the world. With her safari cruise to Indonesia’s beautiful and remote regions, and the willingness to encourage more improvements to Indonesia’s tourism potential, she hopes that both guests and local island inhabitants can benefit from the new opportunities in Eastern Indonesia.

Bon voyage!

Lake in the CLouds The serene lake, verdant vales, and wintry mountains of Lucerne in central Switzerland have long enchanted voyagers to stay longer than planned, immersing themselves deeper in tales of divas and dragons, writes Mariel Grazella Photography mariel grazella

LIFE | travel swiss flag, bold with its red and white, flaps happily from the stern of the cruise ship, as if waving goodbye to riverbanks lined with dapper mansions and hotels.

As the ship gently slips further into Lake Lucerne, the vista swells to display the grandeur of the lake. The peaks of snowcapped craggy mountains veiled by mists form contrasting backdrops to emerald valleys dotted with clusters of homesteads.

Days like this are perfect for a lunch of wine and roasted Swiss veal schnitzel from the open-air deck of the ship. Water vessels are essential for the flow of daily life on Lake Lucerne as they carry people to the five cantons of Lucerne, Uri, Schwyz, Obwalden and Nidwalden which border the lake, locally called Vierwaldstättersee, or literally The Lake of Four Settlements.

Docks are conveniently located, such as the one across the Lucerne train station. The station is a good point to start a sightseeing tour of the city. Abutting the station is the Kultur- und Kongresszentrum Luzern, or KKL Luzerne, a multifunctional venue noted for its clean and contemporary aesthetics by celebrated French architect, Jean Nouvel.

Less than 10 minutes from the station is the commercial centre of Lucerne, with Bucherer being the unbeatable destination for watch lovers. Stocked with roughly 12,000 time and jewellery pieces, the store offers watches from at least 30 big brands, including Rolex.

Hotels line the roads nearby Bucherer, with Grand Hotel National Lucerne strategically situated by the waterside. If resorts with a private feel are more preferred, the Palace Hotel at the Büergenstock Resort grants an elegant escape. The historic belle époque hotel, once visited by Hollywood icons such as Audrey Hepburn, is now run by the stylish Büergenstock Resort and is designed to provide guests with breathtaking views from all corners.

For adventure seekers, Lucerne is an access point to two majestic mountains, the first being Mount Pilatus. Going up Mount Pilatus

is a whimsical adventure because travellers can hop on the steepest cogwheel railway, commissioned in 1889, to head up to the summit. As the cars scale the sharp inclines of the mountain, the scene changes from green, alpine meadows to jagged rock formations speckled with snow.

But for a more intense experience, Mount Titlis prepares myriad wintry wonders.

Travellers will feel the thrills building up upon stepping into the Titlis Rotair, a gondola that rotates 360 degrees as it takes travellers to the summit. Once on the summit, snow surrounds travellers hiking the Titlis glacier and Titlis Cliff Walk, Europe’s highest suspension bridge, which leads to the Ice Flyer. This ride is not for the faint-hearted given that the chairlift will sweep above the deep crevices of the frosty mountain below.

To feel warm again, the Titlis Panorama Restaurant serves regional specialties, with the rĂśsti topped with melted cheese, fried egg, and bacon being a befitting choice.

For even more warmth, travellers could head to Vitznau, a picturesque bay at the foot of Mount Rigi, where the sun shines tenderly.

Here, travellers can unwind tired muscles at Park Hotel Vitznau equipped with a luxurious Finnish sauna and heated outdoor infinity pool.

Before bidding farewell to the aweinspiring Lucerne, take a horse-carriage tour around Weggis, Vitznau’s neighbouring commune. The carriage will take travellers uphill and down, across streets that cut into neighbourhoods and viewing points that will once again display the serene lakes, verdant vales, and wintry mountaintops that merits Lucerne as part of a lake in the clouds.

Friends, Indeed

Indonesia Tatler thanks friends who have shown immeasurable support during Maria Lukito’s memorial events. Edith Emeralda writes As the world bid its farewells to Maria Lukito a few months ago, the five days of memorial services were packed with emotions and memories shared by family and friends alike. The poet Rumi once said that goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes, because, for those who love with their hearts and souls, there is no such thing as separation—a true testament to Ibu Maria’s presence in the many lives she touched.

george yabu and glenn pushelberg, the interior designers behind such stylish destinations as the four seasons new york, lane crawford in hong kong, bangkok’s park hyatt and the w guangzhou, share five of their favourite things

Glenn: A rich chocolate bar may be my guiltiest pleasure.

But, then again, it’s only guilty if you think of it that way. I like to call it a treat.

George: Taking a weekend off would be mine. We are workaholics.

YaYOI Kusama

She’s one of our favourite artists. We have one of her pumpkins in our Toronto studio. We originally wanted it in our New York apartment but couldn’t fit it in the elevator. We had to beg her gallery for it. It sits next to an Anish Kapoor— we collect quite a bit of art.

We love this New York restaurant. It’s an offshoot of ABC Kitchen by Jean-Georges Vongerichten. The food is all vegetarian and it’s amazing, with influences from around the world. The flavours are so clear and transparent. A perfect spot for lunch or dinner.

lOng Island BeaCh hOuse It’s our favourite place in the world. It’s on the East End of Long Island, between East Hampton and Montauk, and faces the ocean. When you live in New York—or any big city, really—you need to be able to escape to somewhere you can switch off, both physically and mentally.

5 TOYKO It’s hands-on the best place to shop. People are doing really interesting things in terms of design and lifestyle products. There’s an artful attention to detail that’s inspiring—from the cafe making the perfect cup of coffee to the leather shoe specialist bringing the craft to new heights. They do it so well.
