OVERSEAS SELF-WINDING: A NEW SILHOUETTE

• New sizes in the Overseas collection measuring 34.5 and 35 mm diameter.

• Four references in steel and pink gold, in gemset and non-set versions, with a sunburst blue or pink lacquered dial

• A sporty-chic aesthetic true to the Overseas spirit

Long-distance travel begins with a watch on the wrist. The Overseas collection has been designed to reflect this spirit in which elegance is adorned with robustness, attention to detail underscores essentials and aesthetics adapt to every circumstance. True to these principles, the brand is introducing four new models in pink gold and steel, featuring a 35 mm diameter of the gemset versions and 34.5 mm for the non-set models.

A new silhouette

The new diameters prompted the in-house designers to rethink the silhouette of the models, which are now slimmer and more ergonomic, giving them a slender appearance. “These new watches correspond to an aesthetic trend dictated by more classical standards”, explains Christian Selmoni, Director of Style and Heritage at Vacheron Constantin. “It is characterised by a reduction in the size of the watches, which are equally suited to both men’s and women’s wrists.”

Harmonious dials

Each piece is loyal to the collection’s emblematic codes found on the larger-diameter models. The hours and minutes indications are accompanied by central seconds and a date display at 3 o’clock. The minutes track, placed around the rim in a single row, features a velvety finish creating harmonious light effects with the sunburst satin-brushed decoration of the lacquered dial. The two models in 18K 5N pink gold as well as the non-set steel timepiece adopt the collection’s iconic blue dial, while that of the steel watch set with 90 diamonds feature a delicate shade of pink. To ensure excellent legibility at night, the hours and minutes hands as well as the hour-markers in pink or white gold –depending on the version – feature Super-LumiNova® inlays.

Interchangeable buckle/clasp bracelet/ strap system

Thanks to its strap interchangeability system that is as simple as it is practical, the Overseas self-winding watch can be adapted to any situation. Each reference comes with three bracelet/straps: an integrated metal bracelet (in 18K 5N pink gold or steel depending on the case), and two straps in rubber and calfskin. Another new feature is that the calfskin and rubber straps are now all equipped with an interchangeable clasp/ buckle: a folding clasp on the steel models and a pin buckle for the gold versions.

The precision of Calibre 1088/1

Calibre 1088/1 has been chosen to set the pace for these new products and drives the hours, minutes, seconds as well as the 40-hour power reserve. This 144-component movement

with a 4 Hz rhythm is equipped with a stop-seconds mechanism, enabling precise adjustment of the timekeeping functions. Featuring rear bridges bearing the Côtes de Genève motif, it is fitted with the collection’s emblematic rotor in 22K gold, adorned with a compass rose and visible through the sapphire crystal on the caseback.

Sum-up

Four new references in steel and 18K 5N pink gold enrich the Overseas collection, in a 34.5 mm diameter for the non-set versions and 35 mm for the gemset models. With these new sizes suited to both men’s and women’s wrists, the case design has been subtly refined. Three of the new models feature a sunburst blue lacquered dial with a velvety finish for the minutes track, while the fourth in gemset steel is graced with a pink hue. The new watches are fitted with an integrated metal bracelet in 18K 5N gold or steel, depending on the model, secured by two additional interchangeable leather and rubber straps with pin buckles or folding clasps.

The colour of the two additional straps corresponds to that of the dials: blue on the non-set gold and steel versions, and gemset beige-pink on the steel variation. Calibre 1088/1 has been chosen to power these pieces. Equipped with a stop-seconds mechanism enabling precision adjustment, it is fitted with the 22K gold rotor bearing the collection’s emblematic compass rose, which ensures winding with a 40-hour power reserve.

Interview with Christian Selmoni

Why these new sizes?

These new 34.5 and 35 mm diameters correspond to growing demand from our customers for a smaller size, thus ensuring greater discretion on both women’s and men’s wrists.

How the Overseas is a true travel companion ?

I invite you take a step back in time! As early as the late 19th century, timepieces embodying remarkable advances in terms of anti-magnetism and water-resistance marked the beginnings of the Maison’s sports watches, such as the 1885 model resistant to magnetic disturbances and the 1898 pocket watch protected against humidity. The 1930s then saw the appearance of steel watches, characterised by a screw-down bezel and caseback and an unbreakable sapphire crystal. In the 1970s, Vacheron Constantin once again introduced several models designed for active life, including the 1975 Chronomètre Royal, the company’s first steel watch with integrated bracelet, as well as the famous 222. The latter was a sports watch water-resistant to 120 metres that inspired the creation of the first Overseas models in 1996, driven by the spirit of travel and openness to the world. This remarkably technical collection quickly became a benchmark for the brand, and

its codes evolved over time, particularly with regards to the metal bracelet, which as of 2004 featured a motif evoking the brand’s Maltese cross emblem. In 2016, the certified new-wave Overseas resolutely took its place in the 21st century and marked a new aesthetic signature for timepieces destined to become true travel companions.

Why didn’t you adapt the gemset versions to the same diameter as the non-set ones by adjusting the diamond size, or vice versa? This difference, which is barely perceptible to the naked eye, is essentially explained by gemsetting issues. While the case remains the same, the size of the bezel is subtly increased to provide more space for the prong setting chosen to achieve optimal light refraction. As we have two rows of diamonds in the bezel notches shaped like the branches of the Maltese cross and we did not want to reduce the carat weight of the stones, we worked on the dimensions of the bezel.

What does the interchangeable buckle/ clasp bring?

The interchangeability concept is in fact taken a stage further in order to give owners a chance to modify the appearance of their watch in step with their wishes

and circumstances. As they are now able to change the buckle/clasp and bracelet/strap tool-free, they can simply acquire new leather or rubber straps offered by Vacheron Constantin and adapt them to the buckles/ clasps already in their possession.

What can you tell us about the calibre powering these models?

For these new models, we were keen to offer a mechanical self-winding model comprising calibres equipped

Bits of Glitz

with the collection’s characteristic rotor. As these are basic models with three hands and date, we needed a reliable, robust and precise calibre. In other words, a movement that has already proven its worth within our collections. We therefore chose Calibre 1088/1, which meets all these conditions, equipped in these versions with a stop-seconds mechanism and perfectly in line with the concept of a sports watch water-resistant to 150 metres.

TYPE XX

HISTORY CONTINUES

A RETURN TO ROOTS

It was only natural for Breguet to draw on its inexhaustible heritage in creating the new Type XX. Putting things into context, one may recall that in the early 1950s, Breguet was able to meet the requirements of air forces wishing to equip themselves with a robust wrist chronograph featuring certain distinctive characteristics.

A prestigious and widely recognised firm keen to be part of humankind’s great adventures, Breguet placed itself at the service of airborne navigation in the 20th century, just as it had done for maritime navigation in the 19th century. A large number of pilots acquired Breguet watches, including Alberto Santos-Dumont in 1910, American pilots stationed in France in 1918, the Louis Breguet aviation company, Japanese pilots visiting France in the 1920s, and many others...

TYPE XX CHRONOGRAPHE 2057 THE MILITARY HERITAGE

This collection enjoying iconic status for nearly 70 years has accompanied the history of aviation –whether on pilots’ wrists as a precision instrument or on those of amateur enthusiasts fascinated by its legendary qualities. The Manufacture Breguet proudly unveils a redesigned line that is innovative, highly contemporary and brimming with nods to history.

This timepiece is inspired by the 1100 delivered to the French Air Force between 1955 and 1959, whose name appeared as Type 20 in Arabic numerals, unlike all the others, including those of the Aéronautique Navale, whose name was written Type XX in Roman numerals. Its black dial has been modernised while remaining faithful to the Type 20 identity.

The Arabic numerals and the triangle on the bezel are luminescent and feature a mint green shade, as do all the hands. The 30-minute totalizer located at 3 o’clock is now larger than the 60-second totalizer displayed at 9 o’clock, and a date window has been added between 4 and 5 o’clock.

The 42 mm steel case is fitted with a non-engraved fluted bidirectional bezel, as was that of the mod els delivered to military air forces in the past. The crown reflecting the original pear shape is adjust able in three positions: 1) neutral, 2) date correc tion, 3) time setting. The 2 o’clock pusher serves to activate the chronograph, the one at 4 o’clock for the “flyback” function. The for mer is used to start and stop the watch, while the latter serves to reset the chronograph and the minute totalizer.

TYPE XX CHRONOGRAPHE 2067 THE LINE OF CIVILIAN VERSION

This second timepiece with its adventurous look is a direct descendant of the finest civilian Type XX from the 1950s and 1960s, notably a model made in 1957 and bearing the individual number 2988. While its dial is black as the 2057, it differs in several respects.

First of all, its display: the 15-minute totalizer is located at 3 o’clock, the 12-hour totalizer at 6 o’clock and running seconds at 9 o’clock. Just as in the military-inspired ver sion, the totalizer is sized differently to make the dial both more dynamic and more legible. The Arabic numerals, the hands and the triangle on the bezel are coated with an ivory-coloured luminescent treatment. The date window appears between 4 and 5 o’clock.

The 42 mm steel case is fitted with a fluted bidi rectional graduated bezel. Its classic straight crown enables setting in three positions: 1) neutral, 2) date correction, 3) time setting. The 2 o’clock pusher starts and stops the chronograph functions, while the one at 4 o’clock resets and restarts the chronograph immediately, based on the famous “flyback” function.

ACCURACY AND STURDINESS ARRIVAL OF THE NEW CALIBRE 728

After four years of development at the Manufacture Breguet, the brand is delighted to present the new self-winding Calibre 728 for the civilian version and Calibre 7281 for the military version. Combining robustness and innovation, this movement and its variant are protected by several patents.

It incorporates all the designs of a modern chronograph such as a column wheel, vertical clutch, 5 Hz frequency as well as an innovative zero-resetting activation system. Alongside these elements, it also benefits from the latest technical innovations in the field of chronometry (precision timing).

The balance-spring, the escape-wheel and the pallet-lever horns are made of silicon. In addition to being resistant to corrosion and wear, silicon is insensitive to the influence of magnetic fields and improves the accuracy of the timepiece. Moreover, this self-winding chronograph has a 60-hour power reserve.

THE ART OF TIMEKEEPING

Step into a world where time is not just measured, but captured in exquisite wearable art.

Qannati's timepieces offer a journey through the past, present, and future. Made in France with a savoir-faire, using exotic materials and curios, each piece is a masterpiece that captures the essence of time, timelessly.

INTRODUCING THE ASTON MARTIN DB12: THE WORLD’S FIRST SUPER TOURER

Aston Martin is proud to introduce the new DB12. Delivering a quantum shift in sporting character and dynamic capability, this new generation of the legendary DB bloodline defines its own new category. Combining a scintillating driving experience with exceptional refinement, state-of-the-art technology, and indulgent luxury, the DB12 demands a new definition. Grand is not enough; this is the world’s first Super Tourer.

The DB12 takes a new direction. One which makes it the most complete and accomplished DB model in Aston Martin’s history. Blessed with exceptional performance and handling to satisfy and reward the most demanding drivers, its meticulously honed chassis is perfectly matched to a class-leading 680PS/800NM V8 Twin-Turbo powertrain. The result is an

energised Aston Martin that shines with authenticity, capability, and passion to deliver a driving experience that’s second to none.

Engineered to maximise performance and intensify emotion, the DB12 is the product of a holistic approach. One that starts with meaningful increases in structural stiffness and ends with Michelin Pilot Sport 5s tyres made to Aston Martin’s precise specification. Supported by an all-new suspension system featuring the latest adaptive dampers, control, and connection are further amplified by an exceptionally precise and direct Electronic Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) system and an Electronic Rear Differential (E-Diff) that enhances agility and brings the DB12 alive on the most dynamic of roads.

Supported by an industry-leading Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

system, which employs six-axis inertia measurement to predict available grip, the DB12 also gives the driver a choice of five pre-set driving modes allowing the freedom to incrementally explore the limits of grip and traction with complete confidence and safety. Put simply, no series production Aston Martin has dedicated itself so completely to setting new dynamic benchmarks.

The announcement of DB12 comes as Aston Martin celebrates two significant milestones in 2023; Its monumental 110th anniversary and 75 years of the illustrious DB model line. When founders Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford officially formed the partnership that became Aston Martin, they ignited more than a century of automotive passion, cutting-edge British innovation, and high-octane racing success. It comes at a time when Aston Martin is enjoying one of the

most dynamic periods in its 110year history thanks to continued podium success in the 2023 Formula 1® season. Competing at the pinnacle of world motorsport remains a key pillar of the marque’s brand and product strategy.

DB12’s core values of high-performance and ultra-luxury are spearheading Aston Martin’s next generation of sports cars. As such it heralds a new era. One which will see all Aston Martin models characterised by prodigious performance and pinpoint dynamics, seamless integration of advanced technologies, and the sublime style and exemplary craftsmanship for which the brand has long been renowned.

Roberto Fedeli, Group Chief Technology Officer of Aston Martin said of the new DB12: “DB12 is a statement car. One that asserts Aston Martin’s position as a leader in performance,

dynamics, engineering, and technology. We have pushed every aspect of this car to be best-in-class. The result is more power and performance than its rivals. Combined with exceptional handling and an exciting soundtrack, it is a car with passion and a true sporting character. Crucially, thanks to its breadth of capability we have achieved this without compromising refinement, comfort, and luxury. Together with our use of industry-leading dynamic control and infotainment systems, DB12 is the start of Aston Martin’s most exciting new era.”

Performance – fiercer, newfound engagement from class-leading powertrain

Unapologetic and unambiguous, DB12 makes an emphatic statement. One that exudes the confidence of a car endowed with a 0-60mph time of 3.5 seconds, a 202mph top speed,

and best-in-class potency from its 4.0 Twin-Turbo V8 engine. This exceptional hand-built engine, tuned by Aston Martin engineers to deliver class-leading 680PS/671bhp at 6000rpm and 800Nm/590 lb-ft between 2750-6000rpm; an increase of 34% compared with the outgoing DB11.

These higher outputs have been achieved through modified cam profiles, optimised compression ratios, larger diameter turbochargers, and increased cooling. To manage increased thermal demands the cooling system has been completely redesigned, with an additional two auxiliary coolers added to the existing central main radiator. To ensure that desired engine intake air temperatures are achieved in all conditions, an additional low-temperature radiator has been fitted to the charge cooler water circuit.

In addition, the auxiliary outboard engine oil cooler now has over double the face area of its predecessor in order to manage the demands on the lubrication circuit. Cooling has been optimised further by improving thermal airflow, a 56% increase in open apertures allowing more cold air to flow into the radiators, while centrally-mounted bonnet vents placed above the twin turbos allow hot air to escape.

Handling and dynamics –the sharpest DB ever

Power is fed through an 8-speed automatic transmission and for the first time on an Aston Martin DB model, Electronic Rear Differential (E-Diff). This differential is linked to the car’s Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. Unlike a conventional Limited Slip Differential, it can go from fully open to 100% locked in a matter of milliseconds, giving the driver maximum response for more precise and consistent handling.

Working in harmony with the latest generation ESC system the E-Diff significantly improves the car’s cornering capabilities in all conditions. In low to medium-speed corners, the DB12 feels brilliantly agile and responsive, coming alive on challenging roads thanks to immense front-end grip and tremendous traction. Meanwhile, total composure in high-speed corners lends the DB12 a great feeling of confidence and control.

To increase driver engagement and amplify the intensity of its performance, the DB12 features a revised (shortened) Final Drive Ratio (3.083:1), plus a unique transmission shift calibration. The former

works to deliver punchier in-gear acceleration, while the latter reduces shift speeds and creates different shift characteristics to suit the DB12’s broad range of dynamic modes.

DB12’s bonded aluminium structure has seen a 7% increase in global tortional stiffness thanks to changes to a range of underbody components; the engine cross brace; front and rear undertray; front cross member and rear bulkhead. The combined effect is a focused improvement in tortional rigidity and lateral stiffness – especially between the front and rear strut towers – which provides a stronger and more stable attachment point for the dampers and rear axle. This brings gains in suspension performance, isolation, and refinement, along with improvements in on and off-centre steering feel and overall sense of driver connection.

With the introduction of new generation intelligent adaptive dampers and extensive engineering of key components such as stiffer anti-roll bars, DB12 offers class-leading driving dynamics and greatly increased breadth of capability.

With a 500% increase in bandwidth of force distribution, these stateof-the-art dampers are a huge advance as their greater capacity facilitates a far broader range of control and refinement across the DB12’s drive mode settings. By exploiting this increased scope, Aston Martin’s vehicle attributes engineers have extended the DB12’s range of character far beyond those of class rivals.

Careful calibration of the dampers allows the progressive introduction of more response and tighter body control as you scroll through the

dynamic modes, with the detailed tuning of suspension bushing delivering excellent refinement and isolation. Combined with the E-Diff and ESC system this means that in GT mode a luxurious ride quality is retained for sublime yet agile cruising, while Sport and Sport+ modes ramp up the DB12’s responsiveness and tighten body control, shrinking the car around the driver and making it truly come alive on challenging roads as never before.

As the primary point of contact between car and driver, careful attention has been paid to perfecting the DB12’s Electronic Power Assisted Steering system (EPAS). This begins with the fitment of a non-isolated steering column, which gives an enhanced dynamic feel by ensuring steering inputs from the driver and feedback from the road remain pure and uncorrupted.

EPAS calibration focuses on ensuring plenty of on-centre feels mated to a swift but natural-feeling rate of response. Taking care to avoid the steering responding in an exaggerated, overly aggressive manner, DB12 has an intuitive, confidence-inspiring feel. One that allows the driver to relax on long journeys but revel in its precision, responsiveness, and agility when attacking an apex.

In the interests of consistency and driver connection, the EPAS has a constant 13.09:1 ratio rack with variable, speed-sensitive assistance and 2.4 turns lock-to-lock. This variable level of assistance is integrated with the DB12’s drive mode programmes, the level of assistance reducing incrementally while moving towards the most aggressive mode (Sport+).

Ensuring it has the stopping power to match its prodigious pace, DB12 is fitted as standard with cast-iron 400mm front discs and 360mm rear discs with grooved and drilled faces for improved thermal capacity. The brake booster has also been re-tuned to improve pedal feedback, giving the driver greater confidence thanks to a firm pedal with an immediate sense of stopping power combined with a progressive response.

Underlining its Super Tourer credentials, DB12 can be ordered with a Carbon Ceramic Brake (CCB) option. Offering increased braking performance and reduced brake fade at temperatures of up to 800°C, fitting CCB saves 27kg in unsprung mass compared to the standard braking system, which in turn benefits ride quality and steering response.

Confirming its commitment to fulfilling the DB12’s Super Tourer brief, Aston Martin is the first OEM application of the new Michelin Pilot Sport 5s tyres – 275/35 R21 103Y front and 315/30 R21 108Y rear. Not settling for off-the-shelf versions, the DB12’s tyres are marked with ‘AML’ codes. This signifies they feature a bespoke compound and have been tuned by the Aston Martin dynamics team to ensure the highest levels of reactivity for precision steering, together with maximum grip in wet and dry conditions.

The Pilot Sport 5s also features noise-cancelling polyurethane foam inserts within the tyre’s carcass. This reduces tyre ‘hum’ transmitted to the car’s interior by 20%, lowering noise levels and improving refinement and driver comfort.

DB12 features 21-inch forged alloy wheels as standard; 9.5J front and

On The Cover

10.5J rear. There is a choice of three different designs – standard FiveSpoke and optional Multi-Spoke and Y-Spoke – in a range of colours and finishes: Five-Spoke in Gloss Silver; Multi-Spoke in Satin Platinum, Satin Black, and Satin Black Diamond Turned; Y-Spoke in Satin Bronze, Satin Black, and Satin Black Diamon Turned.

Aston Martin has worked closely to optimise the structure of these lightweight wheels to maximise performance without compromising aesthetics. Using cutting-edge simulation to ensure excess mass has been removed, these wheels are 8kg lighter than previous 20” offerings.

Driver centricity – Purer, intuitive technology that puts you in control

Designed to offer the driver the perfect degree of dynamic support

without restraint, DB12 introduces an industry-leading Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) system. The system offers four pre-defined ESP modes (Wet, On, Track & Off) selectable via the ESP button on the centre console. Each is seamlessly integrated to deliver progressive control while avoiding abrupt interventions.

The system works by taking information from a multitude of sensors around the vehicle, the most advanced of which is the new six-axis inertia measurement unit. This complex accelerometer data builds a real-time picture of what the car is doing. Then, using cutting-edge algorithms, it predicts the level of grip available, as well as reacting to momentary instabilities.

Designed to work discreetly in the background, this sophisticated system allows the driver to get the best from the car and the conditions with fewer perceived ESP interventions while maintaining a high degree of safety. The same predictive, model-based technology underpins all the car’s chassis control systems (ABS, Traction Control, and Lateral dynamics) in an unprecedented, integrated way for an unmatched level of driver confidence and enjoyment.

In addition to multi-mode ESP, DB12 also features five pre-defined

drive modes; GT, Sport, and Sport+ progressively adjust the dynamic behaviour, with each step allowing the driver more freedom to explore the limits of grip and traction; Wet mode enhances stability on low grip surfaces; Individual mode allows the driver to precisely tailor the vehicle systems to their preferences, with the freedom to mixing and matching chassis, powertrain, ESP and traction control settings.

Drive modes are selected using the centre console; a knurled rotary controller allows quick and easy cycle function through the five presets. Individual override buttons for the chassis, ESP, and exhaust are also located on the centre console, below and to the left of the rotary controller. These allow the driver to override the drive mode priority and select their preferred settings.

Exterior – Bolder by design

The DB12’s bold and assertive exterior design is a perfect expression of power and potency. Presented with the immaculate style for which Aston Martin is renowned, integrating 75 years of DB heritage and segment-defining proportions worthy of the world’s first super tourer, it exudes confidence and commands attention with an impressively athletic physique, measured aggression, and unrivalled elegance.

Presented with a more muscular physique to signify the power that lies beneath – an increase in track by 6mm at the front and 22m at the rear, the all-new front-end features a larger, re-shaped radiator aperture and a re-shaped splitter. Framed by new Light Emitting Diode (LED) headlights with a distinctive new Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) signature and intricate surface detailing, the DB12’s wide-track stance is complemented by standard-fit 21-inch forged alloy wheels. Sitting proudly on the nose is the latest evolution of the iconic Aston Martin wings badge. Symbolising the start of an exciting new era, DB12 is the first sports car to which the new wings have been applied. New smaller, frameless wing mirrors compliment the new design whilst also improving the aerodynamic profile of the car and assist entry, presenting door handles welcoming occupants into the new, ultra-luxury cabin.

Marek Reichman, Executive Vice President and Chief

Creative

Officer of Aston Martin adds: “DB12 is our design definition of a Super Tourer. Historically, the GT code among most contemporary enthusiasts meant some semblance of comfort, speed, and refinement. But since the Aston Martin customer is no ordinary motorist, and we no longer simply design objects in and of

themselves, we’ve fused everything together on the DB12 — the handling, dynamics, powertrain, sense of space, and styling— and we’ve done it to the max through technology to deliver this new category of performance-design driving experience.”

“We know that when the owner of an Aston Martin heads out for openroad driving at the upper limits, hoping to reach those exhilarating moments of perfection, they are seeking the thrills of speed and performance while safely commanding control of their experience. DB12 intuitively knows what the driver is wanting and effortlessly gives them that optimal combination at any driving moment. It’s this total experience that separates the DB12 as the first breed of Super Tourer.”

The latest addition to Aston Martin’s most illustrious bloodline, DB12 exemplifies the brand by boldly moving forward. That wholesale progression is reflected in the DB12’s styling, which features an all-new front-end treatment, wider stance, and more muscular surfaces for increased presence. The interior has also been completely redesigned, with clean horizontal lines emphasising the sense of space and providing the perfect contemporary backdrop for new a new state-ofthe-art infotainment system.

The new 3D mapping with subdued hues gives intuitive, clear instruction with lane guidance and real-time traffic overlays. Connected dynamic routing ensures no unnecessary delays. Satellite view is available for those who like to see details, dynamically downloaded to visualise the surrounding area as you drive.

Cornerstones of the DB12’s new infotainment system are online connectivity and an all-new companion Aston Martin App. Two firsts for the brand, DB12 owners will be able to communicate, interact and engage with their car.

Online connectivity will assist the ownership experience through increased ease of use and peace of mind, offering Over The Air (OTA) updates and diagnostics. An ever-expanding system, Aston Martin’s connected car offering will continue to evolve as products, services, and support for vehicles evolve.

This all-new connected car ecosystem utilises three key elements –the DB12, the Aston Martin App, and Aston Martin’s secure data servers. These three elements connect through globally roaming 4G LTE / GSM cellular networks via the embedded e-SIM in DB12, which is provided and funded by Aston Martin.

When purchasing their new DB12, customers will be invited to enroll in the new Aston Martin App and create their own unique AML ID. Available on iOS and Android, the app allows seamless interaction, control, and feedback to and from the car via their personal device.

A personalised content that is specific to their vehicle is presented on clear and intuitive screens that seamlessly match the new UI/UX of the infotainment system. From the app, customers can monitor, locate and protect their vehicle, send navigation POIs, or be guided on foot with last-mile navigation. They can also manage their account details and share them in the community of Aston Martin owners through integrated media feeds.

The app also offers a range of connected car subscription packages that are free for the first three years and designed to maximise the Aston Martin ownership experience. There are three connected car subscription offerings. These are activated free

of charge when a customer’s new DB12 warranty is activated. As an additional benefit to future owners, the subscription is tied to the vehicle for the first three years, even if the DB12 is re-purchased through Aston Martin’s Timeless approved pre-owned sale programme.

The connected subscriptions and features are as follows:

Convenience

Connected Navigation / Theft Alert / Voice Assistant / Geofence Alert

Vehicle Management

Locate / Identify / Protect / Speed Alert / Trip Data / Vehicle Status / Remote Lock / Unlock

Vehicle Services

Emergency Call / Breakdown Call / Aston Martin Concierge / Privacy Mode / Over The Air Updates / Subscriptions / Diagnostics

An optional Advantage subscription offers additional personalisation, interaction, and functional benefits. Initially offering a Stolen Vehicle Tracker, Advantage enables DB12 owners to build a portfolio of additional features and subscription services to expand and enrich their ownership experience.

In keeping with its mission to deliver excellence in every aspect, the Aston Martin DB12 introduces a new experience in audio enjoyment. To this end, it is fitted as standard with the Aston Martin 390w 11 speaker audio system. Utilising advanced hardware, this system offers a surround sound mode and employs QuantumLogic® sound processing to create a soundscape and audio performance designed to match DB12 perfectly.

For true audiophiles, Aston Martin has developed an optional surround system with new audio partners, Bowers & Wilkins. Taking technologies and innovations found in Bowers & Wilkins’ world-class domestic hi-fi, this bespoke system has been acoustically engineered for the DB12’s interior volume and shape to deliver a truly spectacular listening experience.

High-performance loudspeakers such as Aluminium Double Dome tweeters and Continuum® midrange speakers give this 15-speaker, double-amplified 1,170W surround sound system a balanced and accurate sound. Dedicated 3D headline speakers and a powerful subwoofer ensure the most enthralling sound experience possible in an Aston Martin sports car.

This immersive quality is achieved by perfect location, direction, and symmetry of the speaker positions, which have been built deep into the fabric of the DB12; something that has been achieved by close cooperation between Aston Martin and Bowers & Wilkins’ engineers.

Seamlessly integrated design ensures the system looks as good

On The Cover

as it sounds. With stainless steel speaker grilles available in finishes to match the interior jewellery of DB12, they feature perforations optimised for perfect acoustics and striking aesthetics.

Amedeo Felisa, Chief Executive Officer of Aston Martin, said of the new DB12: “When a brand has as much history as Aston Martin it is important to honour the past. Not by looking back, but by pushing on with the same energy and passion that propelled our founders 110 years ago. With the new DB12, we are reinvigorating the DB model line and reasserting Aston Martin as a maker of truly exceptional performance sport cars. By combining class-leading performance and exceptional chassis dynamics with cutting edge technology, impeccable craftsmanship and immaculate design, DB12 leads Aston Martin into a new era of excellence.”

With first deliveries scheduled to begin during Q3 2023, the bold new DB12 is defining its own new category of one and sets the benchmark for performance, driving excitement, ultra-luxury, and style. This is no mere GT. DB12 is The World’s First Super Tourer.

NIGHT SERIES: A NEW ERA OF DESIGN FOR MERCEDES-MAYBACH

Mercedes-Maybach presents Night Series – the next chapter in the brand’s mission of evolving its curated portfolio and creating moments in which magic is born. It comes with details such as dark chrome elements, surfaces that catch the light like a cut jewel and interiors that take Maybach design to a new level. Through an unexpected and progressive storyline, Night Series defies convention to spark new brand desire amongst new audiences. Rebellious moments or “Flashes of Unorthodoxy” play out in both the interior and exterior design details of three Mercedes-Maybach models led by the EQS SUV – the first electric Mercedes-Maybach, which was presented in April (Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV: provisional figures, combined power consumption: 24.4-22.5 kWh/100

km; CO2 emissions: 0 g/km)[1] – as well as the S-Class and GLS (Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600: combined fuel consumption 14.1-13.8 l/100 km, combined CO2 emissions 320-314 g/km)1. The Night Series package provides both style and substance with a bold appearance, reflecting the vehicles progressive character.

Night Series was unveiled on May 23rd at an exclusive cocktail evening, held at a private residence in the historic New York City neighbourhood of Greenwich Village. The pop-up Maybach clubhouse created a suitably sumptuous and discreet experience for attendees with the brand’s magical aura emanating from the walls.

“Night Series is the most progressive Maybach design package – it’s our already well-known supreme aesthetics, heightened with exquisite, darkened motifs. Our goal was to create an exciting new style, offering a playful sense of rebellion that is unexpected to what you usually see in a Mercedes-Maybach.”

Gorden Wagener Chief Design Officer Mercedes-Benz Group AG

“The Mercedes-Maybach brand continues to strongly resonate with global connoisseurs, and we are proud to offer a unique automotive experience that captures the best of tradition and progression, through products that are aligned with trend developments and cultural topics.”

Michael Schiebe CEO of Mercedes-AMG GmbH and Head of business units Mercedes-Benz G-Class & Mercedes-Maybach

“The Mercedes-Maybach brand goes beyond the product, which is why it is so important to create experiences and options that fit our customers’ status and personal style. Night Series is the next step in offering a true luxury, tailored experience targeted at a new audience, but simultaneously responding to current customers’ desires.”

Daniel Lescow

Need for Speed

The progressive Night Series package is designed for three Mercedes-Maybach models, all of which include elements in dark chrome, rose gold details and innovative wheel design refined with darkglossy Maybach pattern, as well as interior herringbone decor. With its “Black labels and backlights” motto, a mystical start-up animation for the user interface compliments the Night Series colour palette. Each model also features its own unique design signatures, they are:

The Mercedes - Maybach EQS SUV

Fresh from its world premiere in China in April, the EQS SUV – the first electric Mercedes-Maybach and the newest brand model - can be ordered in the Night Series version. The individual headlights are adorned with a Maybach emblem on rose gold and with dark chrome refinements. The grille panel is enhanced with darkened Maybach pinstripes, while the air intake inserts in the front bumper are refined with a dark chrome-plated pattern of the Maybach emblem.

Head of Mercedes-Maybach at Mercedes-Benz Group AG

Need for Speed

The EQS SUV is brimming with unique accents and details, including side windows with generous, highly polished, black edging in 3D design. A rear and roof spoiler complement its sporty-aerodynamic trim; the running board is refined in black, sporting a Maybach emblem in dark chrome.

The Night Series package for the EQS SUV is available with the paint finishes obsidian black, MANUFAKTUR diamond white bright and an exclusive two-tone paint finish in the combination obsidian black/ Mojave silver.

The EQS SUVs’ sustainability credentials are reflected in its design: the interior is carpeted with Econyl and all leather used is vegetable tanned in crystal white or black and black pearl colour combination with contrast topstitching in dark basalt grey. The trim comprises of herringbone open-pored with genuine aluminium pilasters.

The Mercedes - Maybach S-Class

If the original Mercedes-Maybach S-Class represents a new height of comfort and value, then the special Night Series version brings luxury and refined sportiness to a new level.

For the S-Class, the Night Series package includes various paint finishes in grey, black and white hues, as well as an exclusive two-tone paint finish in the combination onyx black/Mojave silver.

Precious details include rose gold in the headlights and dark metallic chrome elements, adding to the design’s elegant, stretched silhouette, which is accentuated by the two visible tailpipe trims in dark chrome and black.

While the already iconic interior of the S-Class takes luxury to the next level, the Night Series expands the exclusivity of the model with two interior variants: Black with Black Pearl nappa leather or MANUFAKTUR deep white/black. A noble mother-of-pearl effect in the black/Black Pearl nappa leather option, together with the golden-grey glossy piping subtly emphasises the interior’s value.

The Mercedes-Maybach GLS

The GLS Night Series boasts a complete front with elegant dark chrome elements including an upright Mercedes star on the hood, radiator grille, trim parts and Maybach pattern in the side air intake. The headlights feature subtle and high-quality rose gold details, and the side view sports several noble dark chrome accents. In addition, the extendable running board is dark anodized. The exclusive wheel is in 23-inch format, styled with high-quality inserts including a Maybach pattern, underlining the character-defining side view.

For the GLS, in addition to a paint finish in a white tone or obsidian black, an exclusive two-tone paint finish in obsidian black/Mojave silver is available with the Night Series package.

The model also has two elegant interior fittings. The first is black combined with Black Pearl nappa leather, the second is crystal white combined with Black Pearl accents. The superior herringbone decor, and silver pilasters in an openpored brown finish, underline the sophisticated craftsmanship character of the equipment.

The Night Series package will be purchasable for the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class soon. It will be available for the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV alongside its market introduction, followed by the Mercedes-Maybach GLS in early 2024.

In addition, partner company MAYBACH Icons of Luxury will soon be presenting a collection inspired by Night Series. Pieces will include bags, sneakers and eyewear.

BENETTI LAUNCHES ALUNYA

SECOND B.NOW 50M

OASIS

DECK®: THE SUPER YACHT FOR THE OWNERS WHO ENJOY CLOSE CONTACT WITH THE SEA

ALUNYA, NEW HULL OF B.NOW 50M OASIS DECK®, WAS LAUNCHED AT BENETTI’S SHIPYARD IN LIVORNO.

The new motor yacht ALUNYA (FB606), hull from the successful Benetti B.Now 50M series, was launched on at the beginning of May 2023 at Benetti Livorno shipyard and it’s the second steel model in the series to introduce the Oasis Deck® design and draws inspiration from the shipyard’s iconic canons.

The 49.9M superyacht is the second hull from the series to feature the Benetti iconic Oasis Deck® – the first was launched less than two months earlier. Benetti redefined the traditional stern of its B.Now series, incorporating hydraulic winged terraces port and starboard that extend the width of the deck to offer an impressive 90 square-metre beach club and outdoor living area. Owner and guests have unobstructed 270-degree views from the stern, and the beach club comes complete with a glass-walled infinity pool as well as numerous conversation areas.

The B.Now 50M belongs to an experienced owner, who personalized the superyacht to his taste. Brokerage company TWW Yachts introduced

the buyer and acted as owner’s representative throughout the build process, working closely with Benetti to incorporate all the owner’s requests into the final project.

Sebastiano Fanizza, Benetti COO, commented: “The B.Now 50 model is certainly one of the most popular models in our history and the addition of the Oasis Deck® made it possible to offer new options to all owners who enjoy close contact with the sea. This new launch and the close collaboration with TWW confirm the commitment that the shipyard has to its customers and partners with greater awareness, thus confirming the brand’s role as a forerunner and leader in yacht design”.

“We cannot emphasize enough how much of a pleasure it has been working with Benetti on both a commercial and technical level,” added David Westwood, Principal Partner at TWW Yachts. “The project was a great success and incredibly fun, thanks to the amazing support from the entire Benetti team. Despite the multiple interior changes that were made, the yacht

has been launched on time and ready for the summer season.”

“Benetti has proven once again to be a responsive and supportive partner to the owners and brokers,” adds Michael White, Principal Partner at TWW Yachts This launch is the result of a pleasurable and outstanding collaboration between TWW Yachts and Benetti.”

Conviviality is at the heart of the new B.Now 50M design thanks to a seamless indoor-outdoor configuration, with the main saloon looking directly out onto the Oasis Deck®. Renowned British studio RWD was responsible for the concept design and exterior styling, with naval architecture by Italian studio PierLuigi Ausonio Naval Architecture. Benetti in-house HUB Design worked closely with the owners on the design and configuration of the interior spaces.

The Benetti B.Now 50M series is offered with accommodation for either 10 or 12 guests, and the owners opted for the former with a fiveguest stateroom configuration. The owner’s suite is located on the Main Deck forward and complete with a study area, a large ensuite and a private terrace. Her remaining guest staterooms are situated on the Lower Deck. The sub-500 GT superyacht has a further six cabins for 10 crew, including the Captain.

ALUNYA also featured plenty of space for tenders and toys, which are cleverly concealed within the bow, including a tender up to 5.65-metres in length as well as Jet Skis and numerous water toys. The tender is deployed and retrieved through a hydraulically operated hatch starboard.

Constructed with a steel hull and aluminium alloy superstructure, the 50-meter spans four decks and has a beam of 9.2-metres. Equipped with twin MAN V12 1,400 horsepower engines and two Kohler 118 kW generators that deliver a 4,500 nautical mile range at 12 knots and

a max speed of 15 knots, this model is also fitted with a pair of electrical stabilisers.

Delivery is scheduled for the end of July 2023 and the owners will embark on their maiden voyage immediately.

ZUMA MYKONOS ANNOUNCES EXCLUSIVE PARTNERSHIP WITH LOUIS VUITTON FOR 2023 SUMMER SEASON

In summer 2023, Zuma Mykonos welcomes iconic fashion house Louis Vuitton to the day-to-night lifestyle destination thanks to an exclusive partnership that pairs the contemporary Zuma experience with Louis Vuitton’s chic resort wear lifestyle.

Louis Vuitton will takeover two pop-up stores at Zuma Mykonos, a dedicated space for guests and shoppers to explore the summer collections, Men’s ready-to-wear, Women’s collections, shoes, accessories and some of the Maison’s most loved leather goods.

Set between classical cliffside white-washed villas and the blues of the Aegean Sea, the two pop-up boutiques embrace the island’s spirit, with Louis Vuitton’s Monogram seen in white and neutral tones as guests arrive at Zuma Mykonos, and the stores housed in a space made of traditional Mykonian stone and wood.

Guests and clients will be able to shop the exclusive “Neverfull Mykonos resort bag” and “By the Pool” collection, before styling their new garments and accessories for a relaxed day lounging at Zuma’s infinity pool, enjoying sunset cocktails, or a full izakaya dining experience in the restaurant.

Louis Vuitton’s “By the Pool” collection captures the Greek island lifestyle, with new and classic creations for destination dressing, including colourful airy styles well-suited for the seaside and the city.

In August, the partnership will come to life with a Louis Vuitton takeover of Zuma’s modern infinity pool, where the Louis Vuitton graphics and signature colours will cloak pool beds and the pool itself.

BENTLEY BEYOND THE COLLECTION - MAGNETIC AMBER - DISCOVER A NEW INCLUSIVE SCENT

Bentley Fragrances takes us on a journey to Panama with a stunning new addition to Bentley BEYOND The Collection: warm, ambery woody Magnetic Amber, an inclusive fragrance for anyone with a taste for exclusive scents.

Celebrating the marque’s exceptional heritage, Bentley BEYOND The Collection explores extraordinary landscapes and an infinite spectrum of colours, turning every adventure into an olfactory emotion, every scent into a journey.

Composed by master perfumers, Bentley BEYOND The Collection matches peerless ingredients with exotic destinations. A luxurious wardrobe of scents for trailblazers, the collection satisfies their appreciation of meticulous craftsmanship, high-quality materials and originality. For these exacting customers, fragrance is an individual statement, an adventure.

The new fragrance: A journey to Panama with Magnetic Amber

With Magnetic Amber, Grasse-born Master Perfumer Karine Dubreuil-Sereni takes us on an olfactory voyage to a land of fascinating contrasts inspired by the treasure of exotic Panama: white amber.

“Whenever I work on a project for Bentley, the words that immediately come to my mind are: luxury,

refinement, elegance, and use of the finest raw materials”, Karine Dubreuil-Sereni explains.

Her creation opens with the dazzling light of the sunny bergamot from Italy, laced with aromatic rosemary from Morocco and a lemony green, flash of cardamom – “a cold spice that also has hot facets”, the perfumer points out. Mysterious, resinous olibanum adds its citrus-like, warm, softly woody tones to the fresh accords.

As the fragrance unfolds, it reveals the seductive warmth of its heart with two natural jewels native to South America: sensual, smoky vanilla (sourced from Madagascar) and tonka bean with its almond and tobacco facets.

These delectable gourmand scents meld into the smooth white amber that gives its name to the scent. “The note comes from Ambroxan, a raw material yielded by clary sage”, Karine Dubreuil-Sereni explains. Salty, smooth, conjuring driftwood, sun-warmed skin and amber, it is almost an addictive perfume in itself. The key to the perfume’s unique magnetism.

In Magnetic Amber, this captivating note is highlighted by the warm resinous scent of labdanum, bolstered by elegant cedar from Virginia to create a rich, potent drydown extending far into the sweetbreezed Panamanian night.

A majestic flacon reflecting the luxury codes of the marque

Drawing on the expertise of Bentley Motors’ design studio, the flacon and packaging of Bentley BEYOND The Collection uphold the same exacting standards and attention to detail as the marque’s motorcars.

Beauty Diaries

With Magnetic Amber, the Collection introduces a new, eco-friendly, natural material, wood. Echoing the natural materials used in the fragrance, wood is featured in the form of a ring on the bottle’s cap, and on the plate of the beige coffret.

The majestic faceted flacon is inspired by the signature cut-crystal glass headlights of the Continental GT. The stability of the heavy 400-gram bottle is ensured by a thick glass base. The legendary “Winged B” logo is engraved on the silver metal shoulders of the flacon.

The alluring amber colour of the scent reflects the new fragrance’s soul: Intriguing. Delicious. Addictive. An imperial olfactory journey through South America’s best kept secrets: its smoky rums, sweet woods and delectable petals.

THE NEW EAU DE PARFUM ESSENTIEL

AROMATIC WOODY AMBERY

Conceived for modernity and delight. A powerful, unforgettable 100% natural-origin fragrance which is unexpected and reassuring, drawing on nature’s precious ingredients.

‘For a man of his time, our Eau de Parfum Essentiel is a modern, natural-origin fragrance. A powerful, unexpected and reassuring scent.’

NORBERT STUMPFL BRIONI DESIGN DIRECTOR

A fragrance conceived for modernity and delight

The Grasse-based Master Perfumer, Michel Almairac, has achieved a real feat: composing a subtly faceted, powerful scent solely using materials of natural origin. A rare undertaking since the late 19th century but one that opens up new pathways for contemporary perfumery, both in terms of creativity and sustainability.

Michel Almairac has selected a small number of stellar-quality natural-origin materials, including a unique tonka bean variety used for the first time in perfumery, blending seamlessly with the aromatic woody amber accords of Eau de Parfum Essentiel.

Powerful, intriguing and unexpected

Crafted with the same care and innate style as a Brioni garment, the fragrance perfectly balances technical expertise, artisanal craftsmanship, refinement, fluidity and longevity.

Composition

A formula within the aromatic woody ambery olfactive family. The intriguingly green opening with sparkling bergamot and bright aromatic cardamom creates a play of light through tender tomato leaves. Earthy patchouli enhances the heart’s woody facets which features an exclusive tonka bean variety, used for the first time in perfumery. The enveloping amber drydown brings out two truly spiritual notes – resinous frankincense and creamy sandalwood – and reflects a sense of calm and well-being.

The bottle

All fragrances of the Eaux de Parfum Collection are housed in the same bottle, made of Italian glass with a thick, curvy base. The square-shouldered, beveled bottle is simply adorned with a satin label, inspired by the ones sewn inside Brioni bespoke suits, hemmed by a golden cross-stitching motif. The magnetic cap is engraved with a B, as is the top of the golden pump spray. Echoing the natural inspiration of the Eau de Parfum Essentiel, the glass bottle is lacquered in a green gradient.

Made in Italy by the glassmaker Bormioli Luigi the bottle is recyclable. The production process ensures that no glass is wasted and that the water is cleaned after use. The raw materials used to decorate the bottle are water-based and environmentally friendly. The satin-finish box is recyclable and has obtained FSC certification.

“Creating a natural-origin fragrance is exciting and challenging, because these kinds of perfumes have a ‘living’ signature. I used only the finest ingredients to obtain a high-quality result with a lasting trail.”

GRACE DE MONACO LAUNCHES OMBRE SEREINE

Introducing Ombre Sereine

The world’s first luxury-for-good Maison, Grace de Monaco, unveils Ombre Sereine eau de parfum, a provocative new scent.

Ombre Sereine ignites with a passionate embrace. With top notes of pink berry and mimosa, Ombre Sereine is intriguing and sensual as layers of bergamot, orange blossom, and lavender mingle with deeper notes of leather and musk. Exhilarating and bold — Ombre Sereine is a daring invitation into the world of Grace de Monaco.

What begins as a rich, classic chypre fragrance, elevates with lavender, and sea-fresh, sun-soaked mimosa. As the perfume develops, it conjures up the fragrant fleur d’oranger and jasmine of the mountains of Southern France — Princess Grace’s favourite escape. After a few hours, a subtle, sultry tobacco rises, reminiscent of a richly furnished room where echoes of enlightened conversations linger.

Ombre Sereine is Light and Dark

Whilst the luxury Maison had collaborated with perfumery icons Veronique Gabai and Olivier Cresp for its first two fragrances, Grace de Monaco turned to an exciting emerging talent in the realms of haute perfumery for Ombre Sereine. Xavier Blaizot, a seventh-generation perfumer, crafted a fragrance complex filled with dichotomous delights, Ombre Sereine is light and dark, playful and sombre, a cocktail-fuelled party, and a smoky salon.

I was fascinated by the idea of representing Princess Grace’s seminal transition, without trying to impose something too specific. I was searching for an impression, an aura, an atmosphere. We started playing with something that had a hint of vintage, but with a modern approach – a

touch of classic perfumery married with my signature, unusual accords. Personally, what makes this perfume special and unique is the synergy between old and new. It feels familiar, but fascinating and alluring all at once; it’s illusionary rather than precise.

Xavier Blaizot, Perfumer

Unparalleled Craftmanship

Founded on the principles of luxury-for-good; the luxury Maison, Grace de Monaco, insists on captivating creativity and unparalleled craftsmanship. It is modern and forward yet possesses a classic twist of grandeur. A brand that leads, but not in a way that overpowers. Its products are made from the highest quality sustainable materials, ensuring they are enduring and timeless, with clean lines that symbolise the glamour and elegance of Monaco. Ombre Sereine is the Maison’s latest, delectable fragrance, with its premier Promenade Sur Le Rocher and Danse Étoilée collections launching in the UK in early 2023.

The launch of Ombre Sereine marks the next step in the evolution of a brand that is truly precious and unique. Our altruism is a fundamental reflection of the values that embodied Princess Grace and her legacy. A passionate supporter of The Arts, her devotion to the advancement of future talent is reflected in the work of the Princess Grace Foundation US. With this latest creation, we hope to continue to inspire and captivate a new generation.

Claudia Poccia, CEO Grace de Monaco

Ombre Sereine EDP will be available exclusively at Harrods and harrods.com from June 23, 2023. RRP £220.

DISCOVER THE MAGIC OF A JODHPUR NIGHT WITH THE ROYAL SALUTE 21-YEAR-OLD JODHPUR POLO EDITION

Royal Salute, the master of exceptional aged Scotch whisky, invites those who enjoy new luxury experiences to discover the magic of a Jodhpur night, as it continues to honour polo through the newest release in its iconic Polo Collection, the Royal Salute 21 Year Old Jodhpur Polo Edition.

Celebrating Royal Salute’s longstanding affinity with polo, the ‘Sport of Kings’, which dates back over a decade, this limited-edition expression follows the Scotch’s ethos of entering new kingdoms by capturing the culture and flavours of emblematic polo locations around the world. As the birthplace of modern polo and with its authentic roots in royalty and ritual, the Blue City of Jodhpur, India, was an organic inspiration for the fifth release in Royal Salute’s renowned Polo Collection.

Expertly crafted by Royal Salute Master Blender, Sandy Hyslop, and endorsed by Royal Salute World Polo Ambassador and renowned polo player, Malcolm Borwick,

crafting the 21 Year Old Jodhpur Polo Edition. To honour these spices and aromas, I wanted this bespoke blend to have notes of sweet mango chutney and a spicy finish, to compliment the richness. With every sip, this expression transports you to the magic of Jodhpur.”

Shining a light on the Blue City, the 21 Year Old Jodhpur Polo Edition is housed in Royal Salute’s signature flagon, coloured in a vibrant yellow that contrasts with the stunning blue box. The design is reminiscent of a magical night in Jodhpur, with a majestic Indian palace as the central focus overlooked by a large golden moon, stars, and the twinkling lights of the city.

Royal Salute World Polo Ambassador, Malcom Borwick, comments: “Having played polo in Jodhpur numerous times, the city holds a dear place in my heart. It has a strong history with the sport and is referred to as one of the oldest homes of the modern game. This rich equestrian heritage, along with its spectacular historic architecture and its blue houses, makes it a fitting destination to honour with the exceptional 21-Year-Old Jodhpur Polo Edition. I really look forward to enjoying a dram of the new release on the side-lines after a polo match in the Blue City!”

The Royal Salute 21-Year-Old Jodhpur Polo Edition will be available in limited quantities from May 2023 at selected specialist retailers around the globe. For more information, please visit royalsalute.com or follow @ royalsalute on social media.

the 21 Year Old Jodhpur Polo Edition is inspired by the rich spices and flavours of India and is a unique blend of carefully curated malt whiskies, which have been fully finished in virgin oak casks. The result is a stunning expression with notes of sweet mangos and coconut, rich caramel, and warming cinnamon cloves leading to a long and spicy finish.

Commenting on the latest release, Sandy Hyslop, said: “I always focus on telling the story of an expression when I am crafting a new release and so I was naturally drawn towards the iconic flavours of India when

TECHNOGYM RUN: THE ONLY TREADMILL FOR BOTH CARDIO AND POWER

THE QUIETEST TREADMILL WITH THE LOWEST ENERGY CONSUMPTION EVER, OFFERING A WIDE VARIETY OF ON-DEMAND WORKOUT MODES AND PROGRAMS.

Every runner dreams of training at any time of the year regardless of the weather, while enjoying their favourite route, following their personal training program and running on a suitable and safe surface.

Some run to keep fit, others to lose weight or to improve their sports performance. At home, however, it is difficult to find a capable solution that offers a sufficient variety of training for the entire family – from the amateur runner to the marathon runner, triathlete or to the simple fitness enthusiast – and at the same time guarantees the quietest treadmill experience.

Technogym Run is the brand’s newest treadmill, born from Technogym’s thirty years of experience in fitness and sport, which offers a single solution to the same

level of quality and technology found in the best gyms, as well as an unprecedented variety of workouts: from running, to power, to bootcamp.

The 27” Technogym Live console allows users to choose their preferred training experience from a wide range of training programs and modes (cardio, strength, or hi-intensity) or from the library of on-demand video workouts which include trainer-led sessions, routines that follow specific objectives, as well as virtual immersive outdoor workouts, that adapt to users’ speed and adjust the incline according to the chosen route. Furthermore, Technogym Live offers endless entertainment options (including Netflix, YouTube, TV channels, social media, and more). When it comes to bootcamp, the console also offers exercises and programs to perform off-treadmill on the Technogym Bench.

Designed following Technogym’s vast experience as Official Supplier of the last eight Olympic games, Technogym Run is the only treadmill able to offer a single solution to:

The best running feeling, thanks to the slat-belt technology able to offer the same reactivity and elastic response of an athletic track. Users will also experience the ultimate running feeling while utilizing Technogym Run’s large running surface, suitable for longer strides and the ability to move freely for better performance.

Strength training in addition to cardio. For the first time ever on a treadmill, train all parts of the body that are most important to running performance – legs, abdominals, and glutes. Using push mode, users can adjust the resistance to replicate a sled with a load of up to 55 kg – 121 lbs., improving overall muscle tone, efficiency, and stability.

Bootcamp workouts at home: high-intensity workouts, that alternate running, resistance, and floor exercises. Bootcamp offers the ability to automatically adapt to users’ level for the most effective high-intensity session ever.

AN UNPARALLELED DISCUSSION WITH PETER KARAM, VICE PRESIDENT OF VOSS MEA

VOSS has been graciously embraced by The Luxury Network UAE as one of its recent members, granting us the privilege of conducting an interview with Peter Karam, the Vice President of VOSS MEA. Our conversation aimed to explore Peter’s profound knowledge of the luxury sector and gain valuable insights into the strategies employed by VOSS Water to uphold its status as a distinguished premium brand.

As the VP of VOSS MEA, how do you see the luxury industry evolving in the region and how does VOSS position itself within this landscape?

The luxury industry is evolving towards a greater emphasis on experiential and personalized offerings. Consumers are seeking unique and immersive experiences that go beyond just products. Especially here in the Middle East where there is a massive population of high-net-worth individuals. VOSS positions itself within this landscape by delivering a premium hydration experience that combines exceptional taste, purity, and elegance. We strive to create a brand that represents more than just water but embodies an affordable luxurious lifestyle choice.

VOSS is known for its association with luxury and wellness. How do you ensure that the brand maintains its exclusivity and appeal to the discerning tastes of luxury consumers?

We achieve this by upholding the highest standards of quality and sophistication and by working with the strongest partners in the trade. The events we choose to associate with are top class and we do not take any shortcuts when it comes to brand execution in the market through a high-calibre team.

Can you share some examples of strategic partnerships or collaborations that VOSS has engaged in to enhance its brand image and create unique luxury experiences for customers?

Our partnership with TLN is an example of how we reach discerning consumers in an experiential way through luxury events, while on a regular basis, we are partners with renowned hotels, resorts, and restaurants. We also partner with other luxury brands and curate events through immersive experiences that celebrate the synergy between luxury and wellness.

In your opinion, what role does packaging play in creating a luxury brand experience, and how does VOSS’ distinctive cylindrical bottle contribute to its premium positioning?

Packaging plays a crucial role. VOSS is now available in high-grade recycled plastic bottles for on-the-go consumption and our timeless, distinctive glass bottle reflects our commitment to elegance and sophistication. Glass not only enhances the aesthetics but also ensures the preservation of the water’s purity and quality. Overall, attention to detail contributes to the positioning of the brand.

Sustainability is an important consideration in the luxury industry today. How does VOSS incorporate this into its brand identity and operations?

Born in Norway where sustainability is not just an idea but truly a way of life, VOSS is dedicated to reducing our impact on the environment. Our efforts include package optimization, carbon footprint reduction, and water source stewardship. We invested in our plant to enable it to operate 100% on renewable energy.

The Middle East and Africa regions have rich cultural diversity. How does VOSS incorporate local elements and cater to consumers’ unique preferences in these markets while maintaining a consistent luxury brand image

We understand the significance of cultural diversity and embrace this through localised campaigns and partnerships and respecting the cultural nuances of each market. We often create unique collaborations and limited-edition product launches such as our Arabesque-designed bottle during the holy month of Ramadan.

VOSS has gained a strong presence on social media. How does the brand utilize these platforms to engage with its luxury audience and build a loyal customer base?

Digital media provides an excellent opportunity to engage with our consumers. We try our best to share captivating content that aligns with their interests and aspirations through meaningful interactions and storytelling to foster a strong community of VOSS enthusiasts.

Can you provide insights into the luxury consumer’s perception of VOSS in the Middle East and Africa region? What factors contribute to its appeal as a premium choice for hydration?

The luxury consumer’s perception of VOSS in the Middle East and Africa is driven by our unwavering commitment to quality, purity, and sophistication. The discerning tastes of luxury consumers appreciate the exceptional taste and premium experience that VOSS offers. The brand’s association with bestin-class events, hotels, fine dining establishments, and wellness retreats reinforces our appeal as a preferred choice for those seeking an elevated and affordable hydration experience.

Luxury consumers often seek personalized experiences. How does VOSS create exclusive and tailored experiences for its customers?

We collaborate with all our trade and event partners to offer limited-edition bottle designs, custom-branded cap stickers, and bottle art experiences at various establishments, weddings, events, and supper clubs. This personalized approach allows us to cater to unique preferences creating unforgettable moments and a sense of exclusivity.

Lastly, as someone who plays a pivotal role in the brand’s success, what is your vision for the expansive region under your leadership? How do you anticipate the future growth of your business?

VOSS has strong foundations in place to further strengthen its position as the preferred choice for consumers seeking a premium hydration experience. We will achieve this through continuous product innovation (some exciting updates coming later this year), expansion into new markets, and long-term strategic collaborations and key partnerships. By staying ahead of trends, adapting to evolving consumer preferences, and maintaining our unwavering commitment to quality and elegance, I am looking forward to driving sustained growth in these regions and beyond.
