Bold and Brilliant New Art Exhibition Happening at This Resort in Cape Town
Dr Esther Mahlangu, the acclaimed South African artist and muchloved cultural ambassador, will be visiting One&Only Cape Town and the resort gallery, The Melrose Gallery, to attend a programme of exciting exhibition openings and the unveiling of the 'Mahlangu' Rolls-Royce Phantom. A disruptor and visionary from an early age, Dr Mahlangu was the first person to reimagine Ndebele design on contemporary mediums and has painted everything from planes, cars, motorbikes and bicycles to skateboard decks, war helmets, canvases and walls in her illustrious career that spans three decades. Her practice has seen her collaborating with many of the world's leading museums, curators, art fairs, celebrities and global brands. She is considered a national treasure and is a positive role model and inspiration to Africa and has achieved almost pop icon status although remaining firmly grounded in her traditional Ndebele custom. Demand for Dr Mahlangu's works is at an all-time high and has been fuelled by the increase in interest in African Contemporary
Art, Dr Mahlangu's global profile, several exciting collaborations and acquisitions by leading collectors and global brands in 2018 and 2019 and rumours of her upcoming Retrospective Exhibition. Many experts feel that no important Pan African art collection can be considered complete without one of Dr Mahlangu's artworks. UNVEILING OF THE 'MAHLANGU' ROLLS-ROYCE PHANTOM: At 84 years of age, Dr Esther Mahlangu achieves another impressive milestone by becoming the first South African to be commissioned to paint an artwork for a Rolls-Royce Phantom. Each Phantom is designed with a 'Gallery', a glass box inserted into the dashboard, which allows the owner to personalise their vehicle. The 'Mahlangu' will be unveiled to the media and some VIPs on 12 February 2020 at The Melrose Gallery Cape Town and can be viewed from 13 to 16 February at One&Only Cape Town.

CELEBRATE TIME WITH A PERSONALISED ENGRAVING ON YOUR JAEGER-LECOULTRE REVERSO
Vhernier's Aladino Collection, A Beautiful Combination Of Simplicity And Sophistication
A fine watch does so much more than simply tell the time; it is a personal and intimate object and it symbolises the deep connection between special moments in time and our most treasured memories. When Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced the Reverso almost 90 years ago, its blank metal flip side was designed purely as a functional solution to the need for polo players to protect the delicate glass of their watches. However, it immediately became a canvas for special messages and artistic expression, decorated with enamel or engravings. Some would commission engravings for themselves – to mark one of life’s milestones or as a reminder of something deeply meaningful. Others would commission engravings as a gift for someone special in their lives – perhaps a significant date, maybe a message of love. Thanks to the Reverso’s design – unlike any other watch – the decoration could be kept secret or flipped over to be displayed to the world. Continuing this tradition, three of the Maison’s friends share their stories about how they have personalised their Reverso watches.

The Aladino Collection by Vhernier is the story of the sun and the moon’s journey between the Middle and the Far East, where the colours pursue each other like generously decorated silk: a great way to give ancestral visions, mystical tales and old traditions a contemporary aspect. A beautiful fusion of simplicity and sophistication, the Aladino Collection is made of noble materials that combine the beauty of a unique Lapis Lazuli stone with an Australian motherof-pearl or the grey stone from French Polynesia. The line’s magic is outlined through Vhernier’s classic technique of transparency that encapsulates the beauty and perfection of the shape, its precision indicates a unique symmetry that slowly reveals an unexpected beautiful surprise.

Max Mara Atelier F/W 2020-2021
18 There’s an artist who has succeeded in modelling and shaping time. An artist able to dig deep into memory, bringing its layers, smells and emotions back to life, using water, air, earth and fire. An artist who believes that it’s in the material that the spirit of every human being is concealed. The Max Mara Atelier F/W 2020-2021 collection draws its inspiration from the research conducted by this artist, Anselm Kiefer: 12 coats, impressed upon which is the secret aspiration of material to shape the world, referring back to the origins of time, in which it’s the space occupied by the coat that defines the architecture of the human body, modelling and shaping its volumes to dress different figures. A refuge, a castle, or a home in the woods? The items satisfy and interpret women’s desire to transform themselves every day, revealing all the possibilities and identities implicit in the coat: enveloping, shaped, long, oversize, masculine, fully-fashioned, redingote, trench, foulard, cardigan or reversible. In cashmere, camelhair, yarn-dyed alpaca, shearling and mohair, all consistent with the light, soft approach that guides the collection. The Max Mara Atelier coats are all about overlaying materials, with quality evident to the touch, and exquisite style tucked away in the linings, the horn buckles, the tailored stitching, the invisible details of the seams, the leather inserts that mark the edges, the silver and gold-coloured fleece elements that contrast with the rougher, felted surfaces that mimic the rugged features of wild, unspoilt landscapes. The colours of the coats, in opaque shades that give off unanticipated shimmering metallic reflections, offer a reminder of how all the elements blend magically in nature, skilfully mixing white, black, grey and camel. Max Mara Atelier coats are created to last, transmitting the secret alchemy behind the ceaseless pursuit of perfect beauty. www.theciin.com

Oris Carysfort Reef Limited Edition Oris is delighted to announce the Carysfort Reef Limited Edition, the second limited edition diver’s watch made in partnership with Coral Restoration Foundation, the world’s leading coral restoration organisation. By the end of this year, the foundation will have outplanted over 30,000 corals on Florida’s Carysfort Reef, a golden moment Oris is proud to join it in celebrating. Oris is committed to raising significant funds for Coral Restoration Foundation. The independent Swiss watch company will donate three 18-carat yellow gold watches from the run of 50 limited edition pieces to the non-profit organisation, which will auction numbers 02/50, 03/50 and 04/50 at a series of events this spring. The purpose of this special gold edition is to raise as much as possible in support of the foundation's pioneering activities. Oris has been working with Coral Restoration Foundation since 2014 as part of its mission to bring Change for the Better. That year, the organisation’s founder, Ken Nedimyer, was recognised as Oris’s Sea Hero of the Year and given a grant to help further the foundation’s work. The first watch collaboration followed in 2017 and proved to be a huge success in raising funds and awareness for the foundation. Oris is thrilled to be able to step up its support again for the organisation’s vital work. The Oris Carysfort Reef Limited Edition is the first Oris Aquis model produced in solid gold. The case is cast in 18-carat yellow gold, complemented by a solid 18-carat gold bezel with a black and blue ceramic insert. The automatic mechanical watch has a GMT function and can show the time in three time zones simultaneously using the 24-hour scale laserengraved into the bezel.

Mark the advent of the Blessed month of Ramadan with the Islamic Calendar watch from Parmigiani Fleurier Welcome the advent of the Blessed Month of Ramadan this year, with the world’s first Islamic Calendar wristwatch, and mark the significant periods of this special time with authenticity. Parmigiani Fleurier, specialists in innovative, ingenious and cutting-edge luxury Swiss timepieces, made haute horological history with the launch of their Islamic Perpetual Calendar wristwatch recently. The response to this piece of fine engineering adaptation from fine watchlovers and luxury timepiece aficionados has been tremendous. "At Parmigiani Fleurier we specialize in achieving the impossible and our master craftsmen and fine watch designers have outdone themselves by being able to appropriately re-engineer, re-imagine and reinterpret the intricate movements that powered the very first table clock that featured the Islamic Lunar Calendar into the innovative wristwatch”, said Davide Traxler, CEO of Parmigiani Fleurier. The Islamic Calendar is based on the cycles of the moon with the Hijri Year being made up of twelve months of 29 or 30 days – depending on the moon phase. In contrast to the solar calendar, which is used in the west, the months of the lunar calendar change annually by a difference of -10 to -12 days. As a result, each month always falls in a different season and therefore varies from the Gregorian Calendar. The starting point of Islamic time calculations is the 'Hijri' or journey of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), from Mecca to Medina in present-day Saudi Arabia in the year 622, which was also the year the first Muslim community was founded. The Hijri Perpetual Calendar wristwatch is presented as a 44.5 mm timepiece with a platinum case and a slate dial. This new watch shows the hours and minutes, date in Arabic numerals, the name and length of the months in Arabic calligraphy, the abundant and the common years. It also features a moon phase in an aventurine sky and a power reserve of up to 48 hours. As seen in all Parmigiani Fleurier timepieces, every single component of the movement, even the hidden parts, are also decorated by in-house specialists. In addition, it features a rotor in platinum. No components in this watch are made of gold.

Uncovering the Beauty of Mechanics Corum pushes creative boundaries once again with the ACOne 45 Openwork Automatic and Automatic Tourbillon In 2013, the Admiral collection welcomed a new line to the family- the Admiral AC-One. Keeping in mind the key design codes of the Admiral collection, the lines of the iconic dodecagonal-shaped case was reworked to become more rounded, and angles less prominent. Taking into consideration the size and weight of the 45mm diametercase of the AC-One 45, titanium became the material of choice for this contemporary reinterpretation. Designed as a robust timepiece to complement luxury offshore boating, the Admiral AC-One 45 is even sportier, bolder and pushes the boundaries of creativity a step further. This year, Corum presents the AC-One 45 Openwork Automatic, which introduces an exquisitely crafted skeletonized dial. The movement fitted within the ACOne Openwork Automatic is the caliber CO 297, a new movement that was developed by Corum in-house specifically for this model. The bridges visible on the dial side were specially designed to be in harmony with the dodecagonal-shaped case, as well as the silhouettes of the nautical pennants. A sub-dial displaying small seconds is at the 9 o’clock position, while the power reserve indicator sits at 3 o’clock. Like the AC-One 45 Squelette that was released in 2014, the ingenious architecture of the AC-One 45 Openwork Automatic juxtaposes this otherwise hefty timepiece with a touch of lightness and refinement. Unlike the Squelette which features a completely skeletonized double-date disks, Corum makes use of bolder and cleaner-cut lines to give a more robust and athletic feel to the Openwork Automatic. The AC-One 45 Openwork Automatic is presented in two variants. The first, with a case crafted in grade 5 Titanium to add lightness of the overall design, and at the same time evoke a futuristic vibe. The second variation pairs contrasting rose gold with black PVD-coated titanium as the case material, giving the watch a bolder and sportier feel. The back of the movement is visible through the screwed-in open back bronze cover with anti-reflective sapphire crystal. Both timepieces offer water resistance up to 100 meters, while the movement has a power reserve of 42 hours.
Chronoswiss Sirius Chronograph Moon Phase Chronoswiss has added another star to its glittering Sirius collection with the dazzling unique Sirius Chronograph Moon Phase. The stunning timepiece with, a navy dial chronograph with a moon phase and analog date indicator, completes a trio along with the previous steel and gold white dial options from Swiss fine watchmaker. Ensconced in a 41-mm steel case stylized with partially knurled edges, polished and brushed finishing, uncommon tipped chronograph pushers, and the characteristic large onion crown, this weighty customer comes with a Louisiana alligator strap using long, straight lugs. The blue, partially guillochĂŠ-decorated dial shows off an analog date window produced in a vintage style, with a red-tipped crescent moon indicator hand. Inside is a punctuated chronograph minute counter, with applied Breguet hour markers between the quarter hour positions. With plenty of classical design elements and vintage features that harken back to the first half of the twentieth century, which are nicely juxtaposed with modern finishing, the Sirius Chronograph Moon Phase can take its place among the Lucerne-based manufacture's iconic creations.

GIVENCHY FALL - WINTER 2020 WOMEN'S READY-TO-WEAR COLLECTION
The body language of powerful women intimates mysterious expressions of sensuality. It provokes a chain reaction and stirs a symphony of characters. Designed by Clare Waight Keller, the Givenchy collection for Autumn Winter 2020 carries a silver screen allure: harking back to the imperfect beauty of an elusive arthouse heroine.
56
From the actress’ sultry gaze to the bodily gestures of human sculpture, lines are drawn between the gritty heyday of French cinema and musings on performance art. The collection punctuates Givenchy’s sartorial canon with a distinctly graphic story in a Mod palette blocked out in black, white and cherry red, tobacco, carnelian and cobalt. Raw cut and collaged fabrics liberate masterful volumes with an untamed elegance, as shirred blouses and knife-pleated shifts are bonded with mulberry silk crêpe, and pagoda shoulder cape and coat styles are cut in fine double-faced Melton. Tailoring is languid: high-waist flares piped with contrast tones, peak lapel blazers, and a reversible duster coat lined in smooth leather. Sculpted knits and plush faux furs hug the body in shadowy folds. Riffing on the apostrophe, the stripe and the square, patterns and embroideries adorn mid-century shapes in cascading pleats and embroideries, from liquid silver sequins to showers of plumage, tinsel, tassels and bugle beading. The Autumn Winter 2020 accessories collection sees a slim wedge or sandal laced up the ankle, and the Haute Couture ‘ombrelle’ hat return in soft felt. Articulated mobile pendants and pearls hang as body jewels. Designed by Clare Waight Keller, the GV3 returns in glossy spazzolato leather or tri-colour suede, and the Antigona Soft bagappears in its signature colors, wrapped in archive print silk foulards or inflated as a zipped and pleated pouch.

2020 مجموعة خريف وشتاء
PAULE KA Fall-Winter 2020
72
Mini-skirts and frock coats, tweed and Prince of Wales, checks and punk spirit compose all the mischief of a reinvented Swinging London for PAULE KA fall-winter 2020 collection. First stop at Savile Row: this season, masculine meets even more feminine. Narrow stripes, Prince of Wales and soft flannel are colored with pale pink or graystone, in the cozy armchairs of a gentlemen's club. Jackets with bright linings are embroidered with patches. Meanwhile, contrasted floral prints on light dresses tend to make the look more feminine and soften the structure, just like a blouse with a lavaliere tie or a crown. On sweaters and twin sets, here comes a reinterpretation of an argyle check, with its mischievous hearts and contrasting colors. There is a mood here, between Punk and College Girl: long blazers combine with sassy mini skirts, there is a jumpsuit with brown leather details or a pea coat in lurex tweed, Sweaters and sock-knit dresses have deep V-neck. This London walk continues in Carnaby Street and Soho. Amethyst, carnelian, ocher… The colors brighten up the day and the prints collide. The Scottish pattern appears on blouses and easy-to-wear shirt dresses, while check wools vibrate on a pantsuit. Fabrics mix together: houndstooth gets some colors and is mixed with tweed on Trapeze or belted dresses. Panther print becomes a purple jacquard on a baby doll dress. Pants are wide, while the legs happily swing to Berwick Street. Huge scarves wrap themselves around the neck, while plaid checks appear on a woolen miniskirt. For the evening, an emerald knotted pencil dress awakens the beginning of the night, while another velvet dress, almost monastic at first, reveals a back neckline skillfully developed by the House workshops, rue Saint Honoré. Here comes the sunset. In Piccadilly, electric lights give all its energy to the city. The Scottish check turns into lurex tweed or sparkles with embroidered sequins. Metallic details appear here and there, on the clothes or the accessories, on long riding boots, pump shoes or small clutches -there are zips, chains, martingales, closures inspired by the world of horse riding. On a large wrapped jacket or on wide pants, black and white tweed feels like a mesh. In the middle of the night, a rocking spark enlivens the collection, whether on a frock coat structured with chains, on a crepe jacket with a satin collar or on a double collar tuxedo. The night is young.

MKS Jewellery Presents the ‘Keepsakes’ Collection An All-New Capsule of Precious 18 karat Gold Charms Launching with a Charity Driven Collaboration
80
This March, MKS Jewellery continues to celebrate its love for self-expression and the value of sharing sentiment with the launch of the ‘Keepsakes’ collection. The all-new capsule is comprised of precious 18 karat gold charms and charm bases, including dainty necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings. Drawing inspiration from the sentiment and meaning inherited through the tales recounted and photographs preserved by generations before ours, each charm in the collection is a symbolic piece of our valuable heritage. Be it a reminder of a person, a moment, a story or the most important things in life, the charms are a collection of memories that celebrate the valuable keepsakes we have collected throughout our time. MKS Jewellery makes it their mission to give back, which is why they have yet again partnered with Ataya, a charity exhibition organized by Emirates Red Crescent, and are allocating donations to improve the health of millions of children with congenital disorders. The ‘Keepsakes’ collection will be making its official debut at the event which takes place from March 1st to 5th, 2020 in Abu Dhabi. Also premiering at Ataya are charity charm bracelets, symbolic 18 karat gold charms, that have been individually knotted into silk bracelets by the women and children at the UAE-Jordan run Mrajeeb Al Fhood Refugee Camp. Refugees will choose a charm and go into a story telling workshop with Afra Atiq, an award-winning spoken word artist, where they will be writing a story that they relate the charm to. “Everyone has a voice, one that is powerful and has the capacity to resonate. I hope that
through these workshops we can harness that power through poetry and story telling, and give wings to words through self expression and art” – Afra Atiq.
81
Lana Albeik, a Syrian refugee herself, shot the collection campaign with MKS Jewellery to showcase these charms and speak about the cause, “being able to be heard and be part of this campaign is a privilege in itself that we hope will make even the smallest change in the lives of people who aren’t just numbers”. The entire proceeds from the sale of the bracelets will be donated back to the refugee camp that made them, another way that MKS Jewellery is giving back to the community. April, 2020

DREAMY AND DARING, MESSIKA’S BLACK HAWK COLLECTION IS ALL YOU NEED
88
Messika disrupted the world of High Jewelry by introducing unique elements such as wood for their Black Hawk collection from the Born to be Wild collection.
www.theciin.com
89
NECKLACE The motifs of this master piece of the Born to be Wild collection evoke the plumes of the traditional Native American headdresses which are decorated with eagle feathers. Each feather symbolized an act of bravery: their number, position and color all imbued with particular meaning. The individuality of Ziricote wood, the essence of Central America renowned for the richness of its patterns, combined with the delicate touch of a pink gold frame give this necklace a unique dimension. Diamonds : 27,4ct DEF/VVS VS 15 pear cut diamonds of 0,50ct for 7,6ct, 50 pear cut diamonds of 0,15ct for 7,46ct, 49 marquise cut diamonds for 9,76ct, 1124 brillant cut diamonds for 3,78ct
BRACELET In progression of the Black Hawk necklace, several variants have been created by the High Jewelry Atelier. Harmoniously juxtaposed side-by-side, the carved wooden, gold and diamond petals of the cuff embrace the wrist amenably and brilliantly. Diamonds : 8,4ct DEF/IF VVS VS 10 pear cut diamonds for 5,17ct, 50 marquise cut diamonds for 1,34ct, 603 brillant cut diamonds for 1,93ct, 603 brillant cut diamonds for 1,93ct With a desire to offer women jewelry that is easy to wear every day, ValeĚ rie Messika also offered lighter versions of the wood motifs. Conceived with a single wooden feather, the choker and bracelet are made with the Skinny system, a signature of the House. A long necklace completes this rock yet feminine set.

Cole Haan, the iconic American lifestyle brand and retailer, announces today the release of its latest breakthrough product, the ØriginalGrand Ultra, the future of men’s dress footwear. Following in the footsteps of the iconic ØriginalGrand, the first true combination of innovative technology and traditional craftsmanship, Cole Haan continues to lead in the performance lifestyle category that it pioneered. Designed with next-level technology in mind and inspired by observing astronauts weightlessly walking on the moon, ØriginalGrand Ultra is the latest product in the disruptive line of Cole Haan men’s footwear, and the next great leap forward in comfort. With two silhouettes, a Wingtip Oxford and Plain Toe Oxford, the ØriginalGrand Ultra incorporates enhanced cushioning, delivers instant fit, superior energy-return and an ultra-lightweight construction that all adds up to out-of-the-box all-day wear-ability. “Our weight on the moon is just 16.5% of what it is on earth. You could jump six times higher. You could hop off of a building and land softly. With this inspiration in mind, we knew we were delivering not just an evolution of one of our iconic dress shoes – but a Space Oxford built for the boardroom of the future,” said David Maddocks, Chief Marketing Officer & GM Business Development at Cole Haan. Both the ØriginalGrand Ultra Wingtip Oxford and ØriginalGrand Ultra Plain Toe Oxford were developed with Cole Haan’s Grand 36Ø Design & Engineering System. A high-volume dual-density GRANDFØAM footbed provides a soft initial feel, followed by plenty of energy return on each step the wearer takes. Additionally, an internal stretch bootie wraps his foot in a cozy, sock-like feel, while padding at the shoe’s tongue and heel conform for great fit and no breakin required. Every component from the upper design to the foam density is optimized to reduce weight, so he can go further than ever. “In our design process, we stayed true to the icon that pioneered what modern dress footwear has become, while from the inside out truly revolutionized this seminal style for today,” adds Cole Haan’s Chief Creative Officer, Scott Patt.

Corum AC-One 38 Automatic Creating scaled-down versions of men’s watches for ladies can no longer suffice their desire for substantial and practical timepieces. With more women leading busier and more active lifestyles than before, timepieces for ladies have also gravitated towards designs with sportier overtones to complement their needs. In 2011, Corum’s iconic and unquestionably masculine Admiral collection was readapted into a daintier, 38-mm diameter version just for the ladiesit has since captured the hearts of many female fans and remains as one of the most sought-after marineinspired ladies’ timepieces on the market. Launched in 2013, the AC-One line embraces the design identity of the iconic Admiral collection, yet at the same time writes a new chapter by infusing it contemporary updates such as a giving it a more rounded shape, plus combining both polished and satin-brushed finishes on the case. This year, Corum has again turned its focus towards the ladies, by unveiling the AC-One 38 Automatic. Counting on the popularity of the earlier ACOne models, the AC-One 38 Automatic aims to complement the 45mm-diameter models with feminized version. Having a much smaller case diameter of 38mm means that the original proportions of the dodecagonal-cased AC-One 45 had to be scaled down carefully. While adhering strictly to the design codes of the AC-One, the case of the AC-One 38 was given a slight makeover in order to make it more curvaceous than its masculine counterpart.

The larger model is also available on a rubber strap featuring Oris’s folding clasp system that protects the watch from falling off the wrist.

The Rose Collection, Vhernier’s New Blooming Titanium
107
Opalescent and dewy, the Rosa collection by Vhernier originates from the combination of delicacy and grace to create the brand’s first flower, crafted with skill and knowhow. The idea was to design a unique shape by creating the base of the bud in Titanium, where the brand’s signature is portrayed through the pearl’s particular lightness and grey colour. The purpose was to combine the brand’s particular expertise with nature to reinvent the rose into something more feminine and elegant, with a transparent rock crystal on a turquoise base in pink, blue or grey mother-of-pearl surrounded by the fire of exquisite diamonds. The collection is available in elegant earrings, pendants and brooches. April, 2020

Go Orthodontistes Downtown Flagship MontrĂŠal, Canada
Harmony through color, texture, and detail www.theciin.com
Located in Montreal’s Golden Square Mile on the ground floor of a condominium building, the challenge in building this orthodontic clinic was to bring warmth to this coldly stark concretedefined space. The idea was not to mask base materials but rather, transform them and create contrast. Surrounding brick buildings in this downtown area are referenced through the custom communal sink made of red demolition brick. This brick is also symbolic of the material of the original location of the doctors’ clinic in the Drummond Medical Building.

Go Orthodontistes does things differently and this space reflects that. Beyond functional traits, the layout and materiality of the space impacts visitors creating a positive experience with none of the anxiety-inducing connotation of a medical space. A mix of private and open clinical areas with semi-private mesh curtaining allows for flexibility in seeing patients. By concealing all ductwork in gold mesh panels, an airy lightness is felt throughout the entire open space a well as in the closed sections. A large curved wall extends from the reception area revealing the clinical zone. Elements of magic are brought with features such as the retractable mesh curtains for semi-privacy in the clinic area, as well as the elevated reception platform. Visitors float above the water on a raised platform while waiting for their appointments. Shades of gold were used to capture the abundant sunlight during the day and create a lightbox effect at night to the street. By offsetting the medical connotation of the clinic space through the warm color palette, and an open floor www.theciin.com
plan, visitors are left with a feeling of well being. Custom furniture is found throughout the office space making up the majority of pieces in the office. They were designed with durability and hygiene in mind, which drove the decision to work with materials such as powder coated metal, polished concrete and Corian. This includes the custom curved smoky glass closet which is designed as a mobile furniture piece with hidden casters allowing users to reconfigure the space to their preference. The metal finish on the closet matches the custom elevated waiting room platform. The platform plays host to a trio of custom modular ottomans picking up tones from the floor and allowing for multiple seating configuration. The rection desk and its surroundings in limestone create a monochromatic and textured environment that is immersive and welcoming to visitors as they enter. In the conference room, custom Vicostone quartz and powder coat steel tables exist as a large or two smaller surfaces. The conference room also contains an invisible integrated closet,

which recalls the corrugated white steel walls of its room as well as the entrance washroom chamber. A communal toothbrushing station is operated with foot pedals for hands-free use, optimizing function and hygiene. The color was used in order to create a neutral and immersive palette. The array of complementary shades allows for a warm and calming environment for patients and staff. All color choices were made to serve the harmony of the space, as well as adding depth and complexity. By bringing in noble materials, a timeless space is created. The multitude of surfaces covered in individually hand-laid marble mosaic tiles epitomizes the calming effect created by subtle color variation over large surfaces of the repeated pattern. Accents of gold are continuously found in areas such as the retractable curtains in the open clinic as well as door frames, wall partitions and faucets. The multileveled custom gold mesh ceiling emphasizes height and lets the environment breathe upward with a light-catching quality. The bright gold of April, 2020

Bacalar looks to the future of bespoke luxury motoring each model will be handcrafted in Bentley Mulliner’s workshop in Crewe, according to the individual customer’s personal tastes.

Powered by Aston Martin’s 4.0-litre twin-turbo 510PS/685Nm V8 engine and mated to an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission, Vantage Roadster accelerates from 0-60mph in just 3.7sec and is capable of 190mph with the roof raised. Weight increases by just 60kg compared with the Coupe thanks to a new, lighter Z-fold roof mechanism and optimised exterior and chassis revisions throughout. Careful development of structural shear panels and chassis components ensures the Vantage Roadster retains the strong dynamic ability and sporting character achieved in the Coupe with no compromise to feel or refinement. Sharing the same Adaptive Damping, Dynamic Stability Control, Dynamic Torque Vectoring and Electronic Rear Differential, the Roadster benefits from specific dynamic refinements. These include a bespoke tune for the rear dampers, Adaptive Damping System software and ESP calibration. www.theciin.com
As you’d expect from a dedicated sports car, a choice of Sport, Sport + and Track chassis modes - also tuned specifically for the Roadster - give the driver control of its dynamic character and behaviour. Working in harmony with Sport, Sport+ and Track powertrain modes retained from the Coupe offers the ability to progressively increase the car’s overall responsiveness and excitement, meaning the Roadster has a tremendous breadth of ability and feels equally at home on road or race track. While Vantage Roadster mirrors the Coupe’s exceptional tactility, pace and cornering performance, the design of the body is very much its own. The tautly tailored fabric hood features a compact powered Z-fold mechanism that ensures rapid operation (lowered in 6.7 or raised in 6.8 seconds at speeds of up to 50kmh/31mph). In fact, the roof of Vantage Roadster has the fastest full operating cycle of any automatic automotive convertible system. An impressively low stack height pays the double dividend of allowing Aston Martin’s award-winning design team the latitude to create a seamless rear profile with minimal impact on the Roadster’s luggage space. Indeed, with a boot capacity of 200-litres, it is possible to stow a full-sized golf bag and accessories. The introduction of the Vantage Roadster sees a range of new options introduced across the Vantage range. To celebrate the 70th Anniversary of the Vantage nameplate, Aston Martin is introducing the company’s iconic ‘vane’ grille as an option, available on both Coupe and Roadster as an alternative to the track-inspired ‘hunter’ grille featured on the Coupe from its launch in 2018. There is
135 also a new range of optional alloy wheel designs in a choice of finishes. Enthusiasts will also welcome the manual 7-speed transmission being offered as an option on the Coupe, having initially only been available in the limited-edition Vantage AMR. Aston Martin President and Chief Executive Officer, Dr Andy Palmer, said of the Vantage Roadster: “Open-top Aston Martins are always firm favourites with our customers, so it’s very exciting to introduce the Vantage Roadster. For many, driving with the roof down is the true definition of the sports car experience as it truly brings your senses to life. Vantage has always delivered the purest of thrills, but in Roadster form that adrenaline rush is set to go to the next level”.
Matt Becker, Aston Martin Chief Engineer, adds: “Convertible sports cars are often seen as compromised when compared to their Coupe equivalents, but the Vantage Roadster remains absolutely dedicated true to its mission of delivering precise, agile and expressive handling dynamics combined with stonking straight-line performance. And of course, there’s the added dimension of driving a great-sounding sports car with the roof down”. The Vantage range starts at $165,000, with the Recommended Retail Price of the Vantage Roadster GCC starting from $192,850 excl. VAT in the Middle East. First deliveries of the Vantage Roadster are scheduled to begin in Q3 of 2020.

Cortijo del Marques, a historic 16th century country estate, is an idyllic rural boutique hotel surrounded by thousand of olive trees and wheat fields as well as stunning views of the Sierra Arana in Granada, and not far from the Arabian marvels of the Alhambra, gems of both the rich Islamic and Christian heritage hidden in old Andalusia. 140

The Cortijo del Marques is owned by Austrian-Dutch couple Eilko and Silvia Bruggers, two professionals of the finance and marketing world that after living in Hong Kong, London and Amsterdam, decided to set up in the capital of Spain. In 2010, they were looking for a weekend house not far from Madrid when they fell in love with this hideaway in Albolote, Granada. Today, their rural boutique hotel prides in service and excellence. Resurfaced records traced the building back 500 years, to a time when it was home to the Marquis of Mondejar, a close friend of Charles V, and Roman columns were uncovered in what is now the Aljibes suite. The stone-built property does have wonderfully authentic carisma, stepped in history and is the perfect place for guests to relax, unwind and enjoy their stay. The historic 16th century country estate has been restored to perfection by mixing old world charm with modern comforts, and the guest rooms have pleasing rustic decor, with wooden or tiled floors and wooden beams. There are 15 bedrooms and guests harbouring fantasies of being an aristocratic Spanish landowner will love La Terraza, with its four-poster bed and vast balcony from which to survey their kingdom. For those with less refined inclinations, there is La Cuadra – an inspired reimagining of the original ground-floor stables, with wooden feeding troughs worn shiny and smooth with age. The adjacent chapel was built in 1878 and blessed by Pope Leon XIII (it still has the original wax-sealed documents to prove it). Friendly and efficient staff will make this one of the best hotel experiences guests have ever had. Feel the pure beauty and stillness of the Andalusian country-side, a perfect place for relaxation and reflection.

Outside, the set-up is excellent especially for families with kids. There’s an outdoors swimming pool and comfortable sun loungers where you can take in the rays of the sun and enjoy the views of the surrounding countryside that is void of building or human activity in general. Apart from being a place to relax, the Cortijo del Marques is also an ideal base for excursions in the area. A visit to the world-famous Alhambra palaces in Granada to see the magnificent Moorish architecture and wonderful gardens or perhaps a day out to Granada to see the Cathedral and the Albayzin Quarter where you can stroll through the medieval streets and soak up the atmosphere. The city of Granada is just 25 minutes from the hotel.

MARC O’POLO celebrates its ORGANIC LAUNCH PARTY with PEGGY GOU in Stockholm MARC O’POLO celebrated a legendary ORGANIC LAUNCH PARTY in Stockholm with the help of top DJ Peggy Gou and some 300 international guests from the fashion scene. The event marked the beginning of the brand’s spring/summer 2020 campaign and the launch of its MODERN ORGANIC PRODUCTs. The journey to the unusual venue – which was kept secret until the last moment – formed an exciting prelude to the event. Shuttles took the guests to the VR-studio on a remote industrial estate. Between the towering industrial units, an old steel door opened to admit those on the exclusive guest list: international fashion icons like Caro Daur, Pernille Teisbaek, Sophia Roe, Jan Quammie, Carlijn Jacobs, Imruh Asha, Sasha Panika, Kosta Kara, Rabea Schif and many more rubbed shoulders with hipsters from Stockholm at the unpolished venue. Local DJs and, above all, international DJ Peggy Gou created a laid-back atmosphere with their sets. The party had been the talk of the town for weeks thanks in part to its secret location, exclusive guest list and headline DJ. Ahead of the main launch, the fashion crowd gathered at the new MARC O’POLO concept store in Stockholm –Humlegårdsgatan
