A NEW ROYAL OAK CONCEPT FLYING TOURBILLON IN COLLABORATION WITH TAMARA RALPH

Swiss Haute Horlogerie manufacturer Audemars Piguet is delighted to unveil a new Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon limited edition created in collaboration with Haute Couture designer Tamara Ralph. Inspired by the designer’s aesthetic merging bold femininity, boundless creativity and timeless elegance, this limited edition in 18-carat pink gold shimmers with Frosted Gold and takes on a unique palette of graded hues ranging from brown and bronze to golden tones. This collaboration, which will be revealed on 22 January 2024 during Tamara Ralph’s runway show in Paris for the Spring/Summer 2024 Haute Couture Fashion Week, celebrates the natural synergies between Haute Horlogerie and Haute Couture, while furthering the strong ties that Audemars Piguet has woven with creative worlds over the years.

INSPIRING SYNERGIES

Believing in the power of creativity to feed culture, connect people and broaden horizons, Audemars Piguet has always looked to the larger world for inspiration. Over the years, the Manufacture has fostered enriching dialogues amongst fields of creative practice, including Haute Couture, with which it shares a strong commitment to uncompromising craftsmanship, precision and excellence.

In 2020, Audemars Piguet began its partnership with designer Tamara

Bits of Glitz

Ralph, pairing several of its watches with her Spring/Summer 2021 Prêtà-Porter collection. Pursuing their enduring relationship, Audemars Piguet and Tamara Ralph have collaborated this year on the design of a Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon limited edition inspired by Ralph’s Couture universe. The timepiece will be presented on 22 January 2024, during the designer’s runway show in Paris, which will highlight the two brands’ forward-thinking approach to craftsmanship, their seamless blend of ancestral expertise with modern techniques, as well as their distinctive creations that are at once objets d’art and vectors of emotion.

“My intention for the design of this piece is for it to capture the spirit and craftsmanship of both my brand as well as Audemars Piguet. The complications of watchmaking orchestrate a foundation which can be played with in terms of textures, colours and designs, allowing for the savoir-faire of couture to shine through. Rich materials, unique colour palettes and ultimate precision are combined, creating an exquisite limited edition of the Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon, inspired by Haute Couture.”

“Tamara’s endless quest for perfection perfectly echoes our watchmakers’

dedication to pushing their craft to the limit. We are delighted to start 2024 in collaboration with such an inspiring woman and it is only the beginning!”

A REFINED PLAY OF TEXTURES AND LIGHT

The Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon “Tamara Ralph” Limited Edition showcases an 18-carat pink gold case adorned with Frosted Gold. This ancient Florentine jewellery technique was revisited by jewellery designer Carolina Bucci and adapted by Audemars Piguet artisans in 2016 to decorate the Manufacture’s timepieces. Tiny indentations are created on the gold surface with a diamond-tipped tool, giving a sparkle effect similar to that of precious stones. Its visual power is accentuated by the polished bevel outlining the octagonal bezel, while the case’s satin-brushed flanks provide added contrast. The juxtaposition of finishing techniques—a meticulous operation which required perfect alignment between the hammered, brushed and polished surfaces—gives sumptuous texture to the case, while bestowing it with endless plays of light.

For its part, the caseback’s glareproofed sapphire crystal is held in place by an 18-carat pink gold octagonal frame, finished with satin brushing and polished chamfers and engraved with “Royal Oak Concept Limited Edition.”

Lastly, the hexagonal crown, whose shape recalls the stainless steel screws punctuating the bezel, also plays with light thanks to its satin-brushed and polished finishing. Its translucent cabochon-cut sapphire adds yet another touch of feminine elegance to the case design.

A HARMONY OF COLOURS AND LAYERS

The multi-layered dial takes inspiration from the bold femininity and textured detailing of Tamara Ralph’s Couture creations. It is composed of four overlapping circular pink gold plates, creating a ripple effect as they emanate from the flying tourbillon cage at 6 o’clock. Each layer presents a different colour, evolving from brown in the centre to bronze in the middle, to reach golden tones towards the dial’s extremity. While the brown and golden colours have been achieved through galvanic treatment, the bronze layer is covered with bronze lacquer. The dial is finished with a continuous sunburst satin-finishing radiating from the hands outwards, in seamless alignment from one plate to the other. Pushing details to the limit, each plate is adorned with a thin diamond-polished gold thread that adds depth to the dial.

Matching with the circular, multi-layered architecture of the dial, the flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock merges technical mastery with

11

sophisticated aesthetic. The cage’s upper frame incorporates three rings radiating from a decentred disc paved with 19 brilliant-cut diamonds (~ 0.04 carats). Its pink-gold-toned hue echoes the 18-carat pink gold hour and minute hands, both filled with luminescent coating for optimum legibility in the dark. At 12 o’clock, the applied pink gold AP monogram adds the final touch. Hour-markers have been left out to accentuate the purity and harmony of the dial design.

The timepiece comes with a bronzetoned hand-stitched “large square scale” alligator strap. It is also supplied with an additional brown alligator strap recalling the centre of the dial for a refined look. he two straps are decorated with a pearly finishing adding subtle elegance and glamour. The timepiece’s glittering hues and intricate details will catch the eye from up close and afar, just like a Couture piece would.

INTO THE HEART OF HAUTE HORLOGERIE

Powered by the hand-wound Calibre 2964, this limited edition combines tradition with modernity. Its flying tourbillon, visible at 6 o’clock, gives a glimpse of the mechanism pulsating within. This delicate, high-end complication counteracts the effects of gravity on a watch’s accuracy. The balance wheel and

escapement are mounted in a tiny rotating cage that completes a revolution every minute to prevent their centre of gravity from staying in the same orientation. Contrary to its tourbillon sibling, the flying tourbillon cage is only supported from below to leave the watch’s beating heart unobscured on the dial side. It is considered today as a symbol of watchmaking art as only a few expert watchmakers retain the skills required for its production.

Inspired by the dial’s circular, multi-layered aesthetic, the back bridges of the movement, which can be admired through the sapphire caseback, are decorated with five circles emanating from the back of the flying tourbillon cage while increasing in size as they progress towards the periphery.

Their alternation of sandblasting and satin-brushing add texture and depth while subtly echoing the refined rosted old finishing adorning the case. The sapphire caseback also reveals the sole bridge on which the flying tourbillon cage is fixed, while an additional opening discloses part of the geartrain. Design and movement development have merged once more to reach seamless harmony, inside and out; much like Couture.

“This timepiece is the feminine expression par excellence of the flying tourbillon, whose lightness, precision and elegance merge with a quality of execution that symbolises its values.”

A POWERFUL LEGACY

The Royal Oak Concept saw the light of day in 2002 to celebrate the Royal Oak’s 30th anniversary. For the occasion, Audemars Piguet released a 150-piece limited edition inspired by Concept cars that combined titanium with Alacrite 602, a light yet highly resistant alloy mainly used in the aeronautical industry. While the bezel retained the Royal Oak’s trademark octagonal shape, the massive rounded 44 mm case, whose ergonomic curvature matched the natural shape of the wrist, brought this timepiece to new horizons. To complement the case’s futuristic aesthetic, the dial exposed the advanced hand-wound mechanism, while providing a variety of innovative functions.

Although originally conceived as a one-off limited edition, the Royal Oak Concept established an entirely new aesthetic for 21st-century Haute Horlogerie and led to the creation of a collection in 2008 following the release of the pioneering Royal Oak Carbon Concept Tourbillon and Chronograph. A platform of experimentation and innovation ever since, the Royal Oak Concept has seen the addition of unyielding materials, avant-garde designs and innovative complications attuned to the timepiece’s identity.

he first oyal ak oncept for women joined the collection in 2018, premiering Audemars Piguet’s

first flying tourbillon wristwatch. Two 38.5 mm timepieces in 18-carat white gold highlighted the collection’s disruptive aesthetic with an array of brilliant- or baguette-cut diamonds. This design was reinterpreted in 2021 with a series of timepieces playing with diamonds and coloured gemstones.

The Royal Oak Concept also welcomed a new women’s Flying Tourbillon model glittering with Frosted

old in the first in the collection. This timepiece was executed in a choice of 18-carat white or pink gold and complemented with a multi-layered dial in graded blue tones. Building on this design, the latest 18-carat pink gold Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon “Tamara Ralph” Limited Edition merges the collection’s bold and powerful looks with the sophisticated luxury and fantasy of Tamara Ralph’s Haute Couture.

2024 HISTOIRE DE STYLE COLLECTION THE POWER OF COUTURE

Medals, buttons, embroideries, aiguillettes… Claire Choisne, Creative Director of Maison Boucheron, revisits the couture heritage of Frédéric Boucheron, taking inspiration from ceremonial attire. She takes a new approach to the concept of ceremonial ornaments, metamorphosing them through the ingenious application of rock crystal and diamonds. This precious deconstruction brings to light 24 High Jewelry pieces that open the way to a new vision of couture.

Couture Roots

Couture is central to the history of Boucheron. Louis Boucheron, the father of the Maison’s founder, worked as a draper in Paris beginning in 1817. By 1822, he had developed the business and began to specialize in silk, extending to lace – another rare, precious material – in 1837. Born in 1830, Frédéric Boucheron grew up in that setting, and it certainly influenced his approach to jewelry creation. Driven by the same pursuit of a delicate, supple adornment, he worked throughout the 19th century to craft gold and stones

14

Bits of Glitz

into elements inspired by couture. “Bows, knits, grosgrain, pompoms and lace abound in our archives, explains Claire Choisne. For this fourth edition of Histoire de Style, I decided to explore the theme of couture, without the fuss.”

Rethinking Ornamentation

To do that, Claire Choisne chose the prism of the ceremonial attire to offer a stylistic interpretation that is both bold and unprecedented. The paradox of this type of uniform appealed to the Maison’s Creative Director. At first sight, a ceremonial attire gives the impression of being stiff and radical. However, when taken pieceby-piece, it reveals an array of sophisticated ornaments. The Creation Studio kept that approach in designing the 24 pieces of this collection. “I decided to deconstruct the symbols of power to reappropriate them,” continues Claire Choisne. “This collection is designed like a precious kit that may be worn in a multitude of ways, choosing among various elements to create an individual style.”

Crystal Thread

Far from the flourishes inherent to the genre, The Power of Couture focuses on a uniformity of materials – rock crystal and diamonds –, for a monochrome theme that both tempers the baroque character of traditionally gold-tone decorations and visually lightens up the creations.

“The difficulty in crafting this collection was to bring the characteristics of fabric to rigid gold and stones,” notes Claire Choisne. The Boucheron craftsmen managed to transfigure rock crystal and diamonds into jewelry sets as sophisticated and supple as the rarest silk fabrics.

With the 24 designs of the The Power of Couture collection, Boucheron writes a new chapter in the history of High Jewelry and clothing, too, in which jewelry breaks free from material limitations to showcase its substance and to be worn in countless ways.

15

Médailles

Medals, which are traditionally worn close to the heart on the left-hand side of a lapel, are reinterpreted through this circle of 15 pendants. They are uplifted to form a necklace in white gold, rock crystal and diamonds mingling finesse with force. To create the pennants that carry the medallions, the Maison’s artisans shaped 15 crystal blocks – each cut to fit the piece – in such a way that their streaks perfectly resemble the grosgrain texture of a ribbon. After the medallions are cut, the craftsmen carve them, one by one, according to the principle of glyptic art, an age-old savoir-faire that consists of manually engraving crystal in high or low relief. Two medallions, edged with diamonds, may be detached from the necklace and worn as brooches on the lapel of a jacket. This piece is completed by a pair of clip earrings and two rings, including one set with a D VVS2 diamond of 2.04 carats.

Number of labor hours: 2,230

Tricot

This necklace is designed like a rock crystal knit, reinterpreting the chevron pattern of knitwear and reflecting the couture heritage of Boucheron. To achieve this, the texture of each material was individually sand-blasted and linked on nitinol cables (a nickel and titanium alloy) to form a five-strand choker. Interspersed with diamond-set links, this choker appears to have been knit in rock crystal and is decorated with a button paved with baguette diamonds, round diamonds, and rock crystal. It is adorned with a round D VVS2 diamond of 2.01 carats. A cuff bracelet set with a round DVVS1 diamond of 1.02 carats coordinates with it.

Number of labor hours: 1,070

Broderies

Here, branch embroideries are borrowed from ceremonial attires to take on the form of the fern, a plant that Frédéric Boucheron adored. Entirely paved with diamonds on a white gold frame, these two leaves appear to have been shaped by the wind. They may be worn as brooches to adorn a garment or transform into scintillating hair pieces thanks to an ingenious polyvalent fastening system. To complement the look, the studio created a white gold and diamond fern tiara, as well as two matching pairs of earrings. One pair is asymmetrical, combining a branch that rises along the ear with a pear-shaped E VVS2 diamond of 1.50 carats. Number of labor hours: 980

Col

A ceremonial costume often features a high, rigid, tightly fitting collar that frames the head and symbolizes reason and instinct. Here, the collar is inspired by a tiara that the Maison crafted in the 1900s. Its design may be worn in a new way with a necklace resembling a lace of diamonds and rock crystal. This majestic piece offers three different possibilities. When worn as a whole, it combines a plastron with a choker, wreathing the face with a mesh of gold and light; but the elements may also be worn separately. A pair of earrings asserts the same lace design, highlighted by the presence of 662 round diamonds.

Number of labor hours: 1,900

Noeud

In this jewelry set, Claire Choisne pays tribute to the bow, an emblematic couture element that has stood the test of time. She creates a graphic reinterpretation with a play on texture and light, juxtaposing the matte effect of frosted rock crystal with the sparkle of diamonds to recreate the radiance of grosgrain ribbon. The necklace is made up of 435 frosted baguette-cut rock crystals, each individually hand-cut and fitted into the white gold framework. The edges and interior of the grosgrain bow are set with diamonds, and their sparkle is enhanced by a pear-shaped F VVS2 diamond of 4.05 carats. The necklace may be worn in six different ways and features a detachable section that may be worn as a bracelet. The bow can also transform into a brooch or shoulder adornment. Moreover, the central stone may be mounted on a ring as a solitaire. Two other rings complete the set. One is set with a pear-shaped D FL type IIA diamond of 5.16 carats, while the other is adorned with rock crystal and a pear-shaped D VVS1 diamond of 2.50 carats. Number of labor hours: 2,600

Boutons

Like a precious punctuation of style, Claire Choisne has created a set of fifteen white gold buttons set with diamonds and rock crystal. Fastened as hair ornaments, slipped into a buttonhole, or pinned to a necktie, each piece may be worn on its own or combined with others for endless arrangement possibilities. These contemporary buttons coordinate with a ring of which the body is crafted in frosted rock crystal set with a D VVS2 diamond of 4.63 carats, and a pair of ear pendants with an adjustable length.

Number of labor hours: 120

Aiguillette

The Boucheron studio reinterprets the aiguillette, the braided decoration that adorns ceremonial attires. In this version, the aiguillette is a braided white gold, rock crystal and diamond necklace that may be worn in many different ways. Two brooches and a frosted rock crystal bracelet may be detached from it and worn separately. Classical for its neo-Art Deco shape, yet unique for the way that its rock crystal is shaped, this necklace – set with a round E VVS2 diamond of 2.11 carats – splits into two brooches, including one that perfectly replicates the traditional drape of the aiguillette. The pendants are paved with diamonds which are covered with rock crystal to increase their sparkle. A coordinating pair of pendant earrings in diamond-paved rock crystal may be worn long or short.

Number of labor hours: 750

Épaulettes

Epaulettes are historically used in couture to visually broaden the shoulders and accentuate the build. Here, they become allies of style. Claire Choisne revisits them in diamond spirals inspired by a diadem crafted in 1902 for Mary De Teck, Princess of Wales. In white gold paved with diamonds, these epaulettes are like no other: they can transform into a pair of bracelets. The design also appears on a modern white gold tiara set with round diamonds, and coordinates with matching ear pendants.

Number of labor hours: 960

INSIDE ROLLS-ROYCE’S

COACHBUILT HAVEN OF TRANQUILITY

Cover Story

“Rolls-Royce Coachbuild is the pinnacle expression of this incredible brand, and an unmatched concept in the luxury sector. In this department, the world’s most influential individuals collaborate with our designers, engineers and craftspeople to bring completely new ideas to life. Together, they create exquisite motor cars that not only become a cherished part of the commissioning client’s personal story but also add to the proud history of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. Clients curate every facet of these masterpieces, which are brought into being by what I believe is the most talented team of experts in the luxury industry. Arcadia Droptail exemplifies this approach. This motor car is deeply connected to the client’s personality and preferences, and in capturing their character we have been empowered to make inspiring design, craft and engineering statements that show the world our ambition, and our unparalleled abilities.”

24

Cover Story

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is delighted to present Rolls-Royce Arcadia Droptail, an exquisite coachbuilt expression of tranquillity. Arcadia Droptail is the epitome of quiet irreverence towards expected codes of luxury, celebrating purity of form and natural materials while serving as a bold statement of the client’s personal taste. Commissioned by an individual who possesses a distinct affinity for architecture and design, Arcadia Droptail is a testimony to the patron’s sensibilities and personal codes of luxury, defined by purity and subtle restraint, reflecting their firm belief in distilling complexity to reveal the inherent, fundamental essence.

This coachbuilt commission takes its name from the mythical realm of Arcadia, a place depicted in Ancient Greek mythology as ‘Heaven on Earth’ – a land renowned for its extraordinary natural beauty and perfect harmony. Like the haven that inspires its name, Arcadia Droptail was envisioned by the client as a serene space characterised by reduction, material depth

and tactility that would serve as a refuge from the complexities of their business life.

In capturing the theme of tranquillity, Coachbuild designers embarked on an exploration of design, sculpture and architecture from the client’s favourite regions around the world. This included the precision and richness of modernist tropical sky gardens seen in Singapore, Indonesia and Vietnam as well as British ‘Biomimetic’ architecture, where organic forms and material honesty are celebrated.

In addition to these references, the client was also inspired by the motor car itself and the purity of the Droptail design concept. The commissioning client insisted that their Coachbuild motor car should be absolutely faithful to the earliest hand-drawn sketch they were first presented with in 2019.

It was the profile of this highly contemporary projection of the roadster body type that resonated so strongly with the commissioning client. They were particularly compelled by the motor car’s bold, low stance, ensconcing cabin design and dramatic body lines. They also immediately recognised the nautical inspiration behind Droptail’s ‘sail cowls’: named after their resemblance to a yacht’s jib, these sharp, angular forms rise behind the doors and curve gently inwards, subtly directing the eye to the motor car’s occupants.

EXTERIOR: A TRIBUTE TO DROPTAIL

In order to fulfil the client’s ambition to honour Droptail’s form, Rolls-Royce Coachbuild designers developed a calm, natural duotone colourway for the motor car’s coachwork. The client’s aspiration was to define a timeless white, appearing as a solid colour at first glance, but creating a level of intrigue upon further study under natural light. To achieve this, the main body colour is a solid white infused with aluminium and glass particles. This not only creates an effervescent shimmer when the light strikes the coachwork but, upon close inspection, creates the illusion of unending depth in the paint. Rolls-Royce specialists developed a more faceted, striking metallic using larger sizing of aluminium particles. The client was very particular and involved in their request for the Bespoke silver to contrast against the white, not only in colour, but also in terms of intensity.

In a key departure from the other three coachbuilt Droptails in this series, the carbon fibre used to

25

construct the lower sections of Droptail is painted in the solid Bespoke silver colour rather than left fully or partially exposed, visually ‘lifting’ the motor car in profile to intensify its lithe, dynamic intent.

In tribute to the brilliant mirror finish of brightwork on historical Rolls-Royces, which particularly fascinate the client, the exterior grille surround, ‘kinked’ vane pieces and 22-inch alloy wheels have been fully mirror-polished.

While Arcadia Droptail’s exterior palette is rich in subtle detail, its primary intention is to celebrate the form and proportions of the coachwork. The client was particularly compelled by Droptail’s clean, monolithic surfacing and bold use of negative sculpture – features that are amplified by the motor car’s muted paint colours, which reflect sunlight and cast dramatic shadows, highlighting Droptail’s many subtle design gestures.

INTERIOR: THE CENTRALITY OF WOOD

As the exterior of Rolls-Royce Arcadia Droptail celebrates the motor car’s form, the interior is a deeply personal reflection of the client’s individual aesthetic, reflective of the style they have curated in their residences and business spaces around the world. Arcadia Droptail’s colour palette and material treatment

26

was envisioned to be a truly personal statement and instantly recognisable as a personal signature of the commissioning client.

Wood development was central to Arcadia Droptail’s interior and the client’s focus, whose very specific expectations concentrated on the texture, grain, colour and richness of the material itself. The client shared many examples of preferences and inspiration from architecture, residences and classic cars, to guide RollsRoyce Coachbuild designers and material specialists.

Santos Straight Grain was eventually selected as the most modern statement, based upon its rich texture and visual intrigue, which is derived from its unique, interlocking grain pattern.

Using this high-density hardwood on Droptail’s interior posed a significant challenge for the marque’s craftspeople. Santos Straight Grain has one of the finest grain types of all the wood species used within a Rolls-Royce – if not handled with the greatest care, it easily tears when machined and ‘checks’ (a crack that appears parallel to the grain) during the drying process. Despite the challenges of working with this delicate material, Santos Straight Grain is used throughout Droptail, including the aerodynamically functional

“The Rolls-Royce Arcadia Droptail wonderfully demonstrates the true nature of a Coachbuild proposition in completely transforming the character of a motor car. Each Droptail commission reflects a deeply personal understanding and interpretation of a foundational design. With Arcadia Droptail we witness daring in minimalism and subtlety, informed by the lifestyle of an individual who has a unique appreciation for British luxury. In creating this historic motor car, we once again prove our peerless abilities in synthesising and executing Bespoke design at its highest level.”

rear deck section, where the grain of the open pore veneer is laid at a perfect 55° angle. To achieve a perfect composition over complex geometry, Rolls-Royce artisans used a total of 233 wood pieces throughout Arcadia Droptail, with 76 pieces applied to the rear deck alone.

Given that Arcadia Droptail will be used internationally, including some tropical climates, specific attention was paid to developing a protection system and testing process for the exterior wood surfaces. Coatings used on superyachts were initially considered but rejected given that they require regular servicing and re-application. Instead, a Bespoke lacquer was developed that requires just one application for the lifetime of the motor car.

To validate this coating, Rolls-Royce specialists conceived a unique testing protocol wherein veneer pieces were subject to a punishing cycle inside a specialist machine simulating global weather extremes. This involved spraying sample wood pieces with water intermittently, between periods of leaving them to dry in darkness and exposing them to heat and bright light.

This was repeated for 1,000 hours on 18 different samples before the marque’s specialists were satisfied with the endurance of the pieces. In total, the wood pieces and protective coating required more than 8,000 hours of development.

INTERIOR: A STUDY IN WHITE

The leather interior is finished in two entirely Bespoke hues, named after the client and reserved exclusive-

Cover Story

“The significance of Rolls-Royce Arcadia Droptail lies in its subtlety. It is a projection of an individual who values clarity and precision in all areas of their life – from their passion for fine cuisine, their highly curated personal and professional spaces and affinity with contemporary design. This motor car is one of the most faithful expressions of an individual’s personal style and sensibilities we have ever created within the Coachbuild department. In capturing their spirit, we reveal a unique appreciation for simplicity, serenity and beautifully restrained elegance – one that was a privilege for me to have been a part of.”

ly for their use. The main leather colour is a Bespoke White hue, continuing the exterior paint theme, while the contrast leather is a Bespoke tan colour, developed to perfectly complement the selected wood.

The interior also includes the exquisite shawl panel that unites all four Droptail motor cars and is the largest continuous wood section ever seen on a RollsRoyce motor car. In Arcadia Droptail, it is made in the same Santos Straight Grain open pore veneer as the rear deck, book-matched at the same 55° angle, with individually shaped leave stripes running seamlessly into the door linings. CAD tools were used to map the placement of each wood piece, and although it appears to be constructed from just two mirrored sections of veneer, this panel alone is made up of 40 sections, each digitally mapped before being fixed to the motor car.

Applying wood to the complex curvatures of Droptail’s interior required Rolls-Royce engineers to develop an entirely new substructure for several components. The dramatic geometry of the dashboard, door linings and central cantilevered ‘plinth’ armrest had to be incredibly rigid to ensure the stability of the wood pieces once they were laid in place. Engineers called on carbon fibre layering techniques used in Formula 1 motor racing to develop an incredibly stiff base onto which the wood could be applied, ensuring that it remained secure regardless of the dynamic extremes the motor car experienced.

BESPOKE TIMEPIECE: A PRECISION INSTRUMENT

The Santos Straight Grain veneer fascia incorporates a clock conceived and developed by Rolls-Royce Coachbuild designers and craftspeople. This expression of haute horlogerie is the most complex Rolls-Royce clock face ever created: the assembly alone was a fivemonth process, which was preceded by more than two years of development.

The clock incorporates an exquisite geometric guilloché pattern in raw metal with 119 facets. This is a symbolic nod to the marque’s heritage; as the client first saw a preview of the motor car in late 2023 – the year when Rolls-Royce celebrated its 119-year anniversary. The specially designed clock face also includes partly polished, partly brushed hands and 12 ‘chaplets’ – or hour markers – each just 0.1mm thick. To ensure the readability of the timepiece, specialists gave each chaplet an infill bridge and painted them by hand using a camera capable of magnifying an image by up to 100x.

While many haute horlogerie methods were used to develop the timepiece, the testing and validation standards at Rolls-Royce are higher than those of the watch world. This required the marque’s specialists to draw on an expansive palette of materials. For example, instead of anodizing the timepiece’s minute marker, which is common practice in watch manufacturing, it is finished in a ceramic coating chosen because of its stability over time as well as its aesthetic merits. Small areas of the coating were laser-etched away to reveal the mirror finish of the aluminium material beneath it. Like every piece within the timepiece, including the Bespoke ‘double R’ monogram, they were individually machined from solid stainless-steel billet and polished by hand prior to assembly.

Themes from the clock are paired with the instrument dials, sharing materials, techniques and execution.

They feature the same repeated guilloché pattern, as well as brushed and polished brightwork and frosted white inserts, recalling the colourway of the motor car.

STATEMENT OF A COSMOPOLITAN LIFESTYLE

Reflecting the patron’s international lifestyle, the motor car is specified with left-hand drive to facilitate its use around the world. This international dimension was so important to the commissioning client that the Coachbuild Collective wanted them to experience the motor car in multiple locations around the world before it was built. Coachbuild designers used the marque’s ‘holodeck’ to facilitate this – a unique virtual 3D environment in which the client uses an advanced virtual reality (VR) headset to view the motor car as it would appear in specific locations around the world.

ARCADIA DROPTAIL: AN ELEGANT SPACE IN THE DROPTAIL CANON

While every Rolls-Royce client is different, they each share a powerful strength of conviction, and this individual’s requirements were clearly stated from the outset. However, translating these complex, highly personal sensibilities into a coherent, workable design was the product of a significant body of work. It was here that the Coachbuild process, with its unprecedented investment of time – over four years in total –and uniquely close relationship between the client and the marque, paid incalculable dividends.

Coachbuild designers invested many months examining and interrogating the client’s tastes in everything from clothes and furnishings to food and travel destinations. From this, they defined and codified an aesthetic rooted in the client’s truth and experience; an objective portrait of their internal world and external surroundings, backed by the certainty and authority of the design team’s own discernment, understanding and professional judgment. Other family members, notably the client’s daughter, also become engaged

with the process. When the final design was ready, the client’s wider family were invited to review it: all agreed that it perfectly captured the client’s aesthetic and character.

The client derived enormous pleasure from having their tastes and identity so clearly rationalised and projected back to them. Indeed, the process revealed the client had a far more modern outlook than they realised, defined by lightness, the use of natural materials and a clear passion for precision. Arcadia Droptail has since become a reference point for the client’s commissions from other luxury houses and architects. This unique expression of Rolls-Royce Droptail reflects this remarkable client’s confidence, clarity of vision and long-term relationship with Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. Its significance lies both in its exquisitely minimal execution and the unique skill of Rolls-Royce Coachbuild designers in capturing the sensibilities and soul of an individual.

COOL TIMES AWAIT IN ANDERMATT AS COTTON CLUB ARRIVES

Mountain lovers can experience the new must-visit winter destination as COTTON CLUB ANDERMATT throws open its doors offering guests luxurious comfort, winter sun, and an immersive experience in the clear, bright, Alpine glow – Switzerland’s coolest new location.

The brainchild of Norwegian entrepreneurs Christian and Merete Marstrander, COTTON CLUB ANDERMATT brings the COTTON LIFESTYLE to life. Known for their passion for both snow and sand, the Marstranders have created a forward-thinking vision of hospitality that has now arrived in

Andermatt. With world-class service, meticulous attention to detail, and a dedication to ensuring each guest feels the special effect of the Cotton Club lifestyle, they have transformed Andermatt into a winter destination like no other.

At the heart of the COTTON CLUB credo lies personal conviction and drive. While James Bond may have been the first global superstar to visit Andermatt, with the famous chase on the Furka Pass filmed there in ‘Goldfinger’ in 1964, all visitors can now experience the remarkable beauty of this super-luxe winter destination in the Ursen valley at the foot of the Gotthard Pass.

Andermatt is an exclusive resort that boasts the largest snow cover in all of Switzerland. Situated at the centre of the Saint-Gotthard Massif, it offers a haven for advanced skiers, families, and free-riders alike. With its convenient proximity to Lugano, Lucerne, Bern, and

Destination
Unlocked

Zürich, Andermatt sits at an elevation of 1,437 meters above sea level. The Gemsstock ski area and a chairlift that connects the village with Nätschen’s gentler slopes are easily accessible, making it a perfect destination for both day and night activities.

The COTTON CLUB ANDERMATT venue offers a rare and enchanting bonus: a stunning dome made from Polycarbonate Transparent Glass with a 360-degree view of the natural mountainscape, a trademark of the Cotton Lifestyle. The marriage of mountain scenery with a Mediterranean mindset has resulted in a fairy-tale environment of natural hues, materials, and designs inspired by local traditions. This soothing ambience, with blissful creamy colours, pale wood, clean lines, and striking interior accents of fire and chandeliers, wraps guests in a luxurious level of comfort and cosiness. It provides the perfect retreat after a day on the

slopes and induces an intense feeling of well-being.

Surrounded by breathtaking scenery, including picturesque valleys and pristine lakes, COTTON CLUB ANDERMATT welcomes up to 200 guests for drinks and dining. The menu options are fabulous, with a Raw Bar offering caviar, ceviche choices, and fish tartare dishes. The Sushi menu delivers a vast range of specialities and premium rolls, while salads and starters include Iberian Bellota ham and Greek Salad. For the main course, guests can indulge in a Thai curry or choose from veal, chicken, or lamb dishes. And of course, there’s a delectable selection of desserts, including Tiramisu, chocolate, and lemon sorbet.

Before dinner, guests can enjoy a glass or two of champagne or choose from the extensive COTTON Signatures cocktail list. From the Algarve Club to the Gingerbread

Martini, Nut Spritz, and Chocolate Banana Boulevardier, there’s something to tempt every palate. The expansive wine list prominently features European wines, and for those who prefer non-alcoholic options, there are all-natural juices, special mocktails, and a range of spirits, soft drinks, and refreshments.

COTTON CLUB ANDERMATT brings a new level of luxury to the hidden gem of Andermatt, which is already ranked among the top 10 off-piste ski areas in the world. With its outstanding hospitality, uncompromising focus on great personal service, outstanding food, and authentic attitude, Andermatt is now home to the largest ski resort in central Switzerland, boasting a total of 180 km of pistes and 30 lifts. And with the addition of COTTON CLUB ANDERMATT in 2024, the resort’s attractions have reached new heights.

“Walking into the Long Room, it reminded me of room in a regal palace. I wanted to feature a long table that represented the abundance I would serve to royalty. This would include a selection of some of our finest produce, highlighting the freshness that comes when we select premium quality from across Australia”.

“Standing on the terrace, overlooking the greenery of Yarra Park, I was inspired to create an edible garden featuring flavours you’d typically fine in a bouquet, herb garden and flower bed. My desserts are created to bring joy. it's why I do what I do, to make people happy.”

– Ryan Stevenson, Executive Pastry Chef

“When I first walked into the Library, I noticed the old board room table. I was told it was the former Melbourne Football Club board table and was impressed to see the old cigar burns in the timber surface. I was inspired to create canapes in the form of cigars, served from old wooden wine boxes, and matched with old fashion cocktails.”

Gastro
Gusto

blockchain-enabled marketplace, ‘The Whisky Exchange Cabinet’, ahead of bottling in summer 2024.

Crafted from whisky aged in two meticulously selected casks, chosen for their distinct qualities and matured independently since 1974, the single malt brings together caramel sweetness and honeycomb notes from the first-fill bourbon barrel, while the re-fill hogshead imparts richer toasted oak and ginger spice undertones. As the unique whisky takes its final steps of maturation, reaching its pinnacle during The Glenlivet’s bicentenary, owners will receive a digital certificate upon purchase, together with the opportunity to redeem 5cl samples of the rare cask liquid at 48, 49 and 50 years old, and the full bottle upon release. The Glenlivet Cask Expert Kevin Balmforth, comments: “This luxurious whisky showcases the art of balance, where nature and human elements combine to create a liquid of remarkable depth and character. This truly exceptional rare expression is a testament to the unique combination of the two hand-selected single malt casks, aged and crafted by a long line of makers presiding over the

casks for half a century. As we commemorate 200 years of The Glenlivet, this ultra-rare collection represents a look to the future and offers whisky enthusiasts worldwide a foray into the evolution of luxury investments.”

As a secure blockchain-enabled global marketplace, The Whisky Exchange Cabinet facilitates the purchase of rare spirits as a global destination for collectors and connoisseurs.

fers a security safeguard. Plus, unlike many blockchain-enabled platforms, any digital currency, including debit and credit cards, can be used.

This latest collection celebrates the twelve essential elements required to create The Glenlivet: Air, Angel Share, Barley, Cooper, Copper, Distiller, Earth,

Fire, Heritage, Time, Water and Wood. Each element in the whisky’s craft is represented through a bespoke AI-created design, with each bottle unique within the collection.

LONGMORN

LAUNCHES

HIGH-AGED, SINGLE MALT WHISKIES AND LUXURIOUS NEW LOOK

Iconic Speyside Distillery showcases its legacy of ceaseless dedication to refinement and flavour, introducing new whiskies aged for a minimum of 18 years

Speyside single malt, Longmorn, is proud to open another chapter in its history of 130 years of craftsmanship with the introduction of new whiskies and a fresh, elegant look. Unmatched in its refinement and flavour, Longmorn is making a commitment to release single malt whiskies matured for no less than 18 years from now on, and the newly released 18-Year-Old and 22-Year-Old single malts will be the foundations of Longmorn’s whisky portfolio.

Longmorn has been long revered within the whisky industry, with a pioneering, ambitious spirit traceable back to the single malt whisky’s roots. Its journey began

72

in 1894 when globe-trotting and entrepreneurial founder, John Duff, established the Speyside distillery and introduced innovative export methods including its own railway, which rapidly transported the single malt whisky directly from the distillery doors around the globe. This heritage is brought to life through the refined new packaging, which features vibrant golden arches representative of train tunnels and bridges, layered on a deep purple background. Longmorn continued to inspire whisky craft far and wide in 1919, with Masataka Taketsura undertaking an apprenticeship at the distillery, to then go on to become the ‘founding father’ of Japanese whisky in the wake of his time at Longmorn.

From the Industrial Revolution to the digital age, Longmorn has endured and remains one of the rare Scotch whisky distilleries to have ceaselessly produced whisky for 130 years. Both the new 18-Year-Old and 22-Year-Old single batch whiskies are non-chill filtered, matured primarily in American oak casks, and presented at cask strength, which is a testament to the distillery’s unwavering commitment to quality and refinement. The 18-Year-Old has flavour notes of toffee apples, apricots and a subtly sweet finish of creamy milk chocolate. The 22-Year-Old is further matured to create a rich depth of flavour, balancing tasting notes of hazelnut praline and luscious toffee with delicate citrus and poached pears.

Jayne Murphy, Marketing Director for Malts at Chivas Brothers commented: “This year is Longmorn’s 130thanniversary. Throughout that time, Longmorn has never stopped producing, refining and perfecting single malt whisky of the signature Speyside style from its inception by entrepreneur John Duff to today. The new deep purple and statement gold design which celebrates Longmorn’s origin story makes these bottles the perfect addition to any drinker, collector or connoisseur’s cabinet.”

Kevin Balmforth, Chivas Brothers Cask Expert said: “The anniversary year is the perfect moment in the spotlight for this exceptional whisky. The 18-Year-Old and 22-Year-Old whiskies, like all Longmorn single malt, feature the creamy toffee profile which is quintessentially Longmorn. They espouse this whisky’s spirit of endurance and are intended to be savoured, representing Longmorn’s dedication to quality”.

The Longmorn 18-Year-Old and 22-Year-Old whiskies are priced from €250 and €400 respectively and are available to purchase from The Whisky Exchange.

INTERVIEW WITH BEN LILLY AND HELENA WARREN

Earlier this year we welcomed Giant Leap to our network, a specialist digital agency that helps to connect luxury and finance brands with high-networth individuals through strong digital programmes.

Given the importance of digital to a lot of businesses in our network we thought we could tease out from Co-Founder, Ben Lilly, how they help brands to grow.

“We are the renegades. We are the innovators. We only accept the highest standards in our work and believe that all luxury brands should get A LOT more from their digital agencies.”

82
Ben Lilly

Follow the Leader

What makes you different from other agencies that our network might use?

We spend a lot of time researching the luxury market and understanding buying behaviour across different wealth audiences. When we engage with a luxury brand, all of our objectives are focused on growth. This might be helping brands to gain greater visibility in their sector or it might be driving ecommerce revenue. The commonality is that brands want to grow and measure tangible success. We’re driven by this same objective.

So how do you help brands to achieve growth?

We look holistically at a brand’s challenges and then put the right team in place to fix their particular marketing issue. We’re not a specialist, niche agency; we offer full-service capabilities to achieve the business goal, including website development, video production, performance media, and data analytics. Bringing these skills together in the right manner with a clear strategy on the high-networth sector means we can execute globally to help brands grow.

But why Giant Leap? Why is your company more compelling?

For some of the reasons I have mentioned above, if you want an agency that can truly understand the wealth sectors and offer you holistic advice around

your business/marketing challenge, then we should be in the mix of people you’re talking to.

But more than this, we have been in the luxury space for many years. I recently grew Verb Brands - who I’m sure people will recogniseand sold it at the end of 2021. So we have worked with some of the largest luxury brands in the world including Aston Martin, The Ritz,

Bloomingdales, De Beers, and many more.

The added bonus of Giant Leap is our distributed agency model. We have low overheads, which means we can invest in senior team members and the quality of our delivery. We understand the challenges clients face with traditional agency providers and aim to fix that with first-class execution and service.
