THERE IS NO DENYING THAT MIAMI IS ONE OF THE GREATEST CITIES TO LIVE IN RIGHT NOW; the energy is infectious, and over the last two years, there has been a great migration down south like we’ve never seen before. So, after a brief hiatus, we’re bringing the Haute 100 Miami list back to this issue, celebrating the most influential names making a great impact on the city — new and legacy. From star athletes like Jimmy Butler and entertainment moguls like DJ Khaled, to power couples and hospitality kings, this issue highlights the Magic City’s key power players.

While the Haute 100 is making its highly-anticipated return this year, it is also extremely special for the Haute Living family as it is in memoriam of the late JR Ridinger. As a dear friend, mentor, and inspiration, JR Ridinger positively changed every life he touched. I will forever be grateful for his impact on my personal and professional life and will continue to honor his legacy alongside his wife and my best friend, Loren. A true Miami king, JR, along with Loren, built an empire through Market America Worldwide with a mission that echoed JR’s passion for helping people improve their everyday lives — a legacy that will undoubtedly live on.

As we honor Miami’s changemakers this fall, we do so in tribute to JR Ridinger, the incredible father, husband, grandfather, loyal friend, and beloved businessman who will forever inspire us.

DJ KHALED DOESN’T HAVE TO CLICK HIS HEELS THREE TIMES

END UP IN THE

MIAMI IS HIS, AND HE OWNS IT.

efore we even say ‘hello,’ I know what my conversation with DJ Khaled is going to look like. I mean, “bless up” is his catchphrase. His recently released thirteenth studio album is called God Did. There’s little doubt that a spiritual and philosophical conversation is in store. I can’t wait.

And so, my very first question when the 46-year-old DJ, producer, record executive, and author signs on to Zoom is this: “God did what specifically?”

Trust me: I know what I’m doing by opening this can of worms.

Khaled, a devout Muslim, lets out a loud breath as he contemplates his answer. “Ah, man! Well first, we have to talk about a whole lifetime of what He’s done. But first, He gave us life. You know what I’m saying? And the beautiful thing about life is when you have it, you can do anything you want to do. You can accomplish anything you want. And I know that I’m blessed by God. He’s blessed me to be the guy that walks into a room and lights it up — not because I’m trying to have attention, no. I could walk in and not say a word, and the room is lit up.”

He pauses, and I’m excited. I know Khaled is about to deliver one of his legendary Tony-Robbins-esque sermons, that he’s about to preach in the unique way only he can. And... he’s off!

“My family always taught me to praise God, and so ever since I was a little kid, I made showing my gratitude to God a priority. I pray every day. I pray almost every second, you know? Even if I’m not in my prayer stance, I’m praying. I’m saying ‘thank you.’ I’m praying for my friends and family; I’m praying for love; and I’m praying for the world to be a better place — but I also know that I have to go out there and make it better. So, the older I got, the wiser I got. I realized that even if you don’t believe that God did, it doesn’t matter, because God believes in you. Knowing that God believes in me, I have to go harder. I have to show more gratitude every day. So everything that I’m doing, everything I’ve done, everything I’m going to do, from the past to the future, God has His hands on, because He believes in me. I’m His child. He’s speaking to me. And because He’s speaking to me, my inspiration is non-stop; I wake up inspired. God did that. You know what I’m saying?”

I do. But enquiring minds want to know: if he wakes up inspired, is it because his dreams are so vivid? Khaled seems to be the kind of person who dreams big, and in technicolor. I mean, the man is entirely self-made: he is the New-Orleans-born son of two Palestinian immigrants, who started

off with nothing more than a love of music, belief in a higher power, a belief in himself. And from that alone, he has built one hell of an empire, because Khaled is the kind of man who makes his dreams a reality.

“My dreams, especially if they’re great ones, I bring to life,” he declares. Case in point, God Did (the album, not the mantra). “Making this album, I couldn’t sleep. A few hours a day, that was it, because my mind was working all day trying to make a masterpiece.” He pauses, goes full Yoda. “Not trying: I made a masterpiece.”

Moving on: “I’d wake up early in the morning and run to the studio because I had so many ideas in my head. My mind kept working while I was sleeping… but is that dreaming? I don’t know. [What I do know] is that these big dreams needed to be brought to life.”

This is the ethos behind God Did, a juggernaut of an album that might just be Khaled’s biggest and most monumental undertaking to date. That the album is referred to as his magnum opus isn’t far off. He collaborated with Dr. Dre and The ICU for the first time ever, and reunited with his longtime “brothers” Drake, JAY-Z, and Rick Ross. He also brought in a slew of celebrity friends and collaborators, who just so happen to be the biggest names in the business, inclusive of Eminem, Future, Kanye West, SZA, 21 Savage, Lil Wayne, Lil Durk, Roddy Ricch, Travis Scott, Latto, City Girls, Kodak Black, Quavo, Takeoff, Bounty Killer, Sizzla, Buju Banton, Skillibeng, Capelton, Fridayy, Don Toliver, Jadakiss, Nardo Wick, Vory, John Legend, and the late Juice WRLD. No big deal, right?

Understandably, the We The Best Music Group/Epic Records release bowed at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, earning Khaled his fourth career #1 debut. And I’m sure it’s needless to say (but I’m saying it anyway) that Khaled believes God’s will was the driving force behind the album’s success. As for Jay-Z and Drake? Well, they helped, too.

“I’m spiritual, and that comes across in my music, that comes across in the way I talk, the way I walk, the way I move — in the way I do everything,” he says now, noting, “I could be in the middle of a meeting, or the middle of an interview, and be like, ‘God is great!’ I’ll just come out of nowhere and say that. And you feel that with God Did. The title track is also called ‘God Did’ and I start off saying, ‘While you hatin’ and being jealous?

You could be over here embracing that love; more love, more blessings, more life.’ Basically, what I’m trying to say is, come over here, come get a hug. All that other stuff, that ain’t dealing with love.”

Of course it was all love in the studio, given that so many of the artists Khaled enlisted are part of his extended family, brothers that drop by his Miami Beach mega-mansion on the reg for a casual dinner or a swim in his 80-foot-long pool.

“Everybody that worked on my album, they know that, besides us being great, we work with each other because we’re talented and we respect each other. They know that going into it, there’s going to be love, because love is the only thing that I deal with,” he swears.

Love, he says, is why his A-list pals come back time and time again to help their brother out. “A lot of the artists you see me working with, I worked with them at the beginning of their careers, just like they worked with me at the beginning of mine. Respect for each other is on the highest level, because we came up from the mud to the marble floors. Also, we know who we are as individuals, as hustlers. And so, a lot of these kings and queens, I consider them family. Jay-Z is family to me; Drake, [Rick]

“Sometimes, you need to sit back, look at life, and reflect.”

“My mind kept working while I was sleeping… but is that dreaming? I don’t know. [What I do know] is that these big dreams need to be brought to life.”

Ross, Lil’ Wayne, Future… they’re family. These are real friendships. We don’t just make music together; we talk to each other on the regular. They come over for dinner, and we just chill. Some of us even go on vacation together — but not everyone sees it, because it isn’t all on social media.”

The world might not see it, but they certainly hear it: his latest album is proof of that. On the eight-plus-minute title track, for example, he reunites with Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, John Legend, and Fridayy to spark an impactful conversation about spirituality. The closing track, ‘Grateful’ (featuring Vory) showcases the gratitude he has for everything he’s been given in life, while ‘Staying Alive’ (featuring Drake and Lil Baby) is his anthem for surviving the pandemic; and ‘Beautiful’ (featuring SZA and Future) is a track for “all the beautiful queens out there.”

He has a lot to say, in particular, about ‘Big Time’ (featuring Future and Lil Baby), as well as hitting it. “When we were making [the] record, I was at dinner with Future, and I was like, yo, we can’t be big time if we don’t move big time. And we ended up making an anthem called ‘Big Time.’ To me, ‘Big Time’ is praying. ‘Big Time’ is saying ‘thank you.’ ‘Big Time’ is saying ‘bless up.’ ‘Big Time’ is saying, ‘I love you.’ A lot of us, where I come from, show our blessings and successes through our watches, through our clothes, through our words. You can’t be big time if you ain’t got security, and we’re not talking about ‘cause we flossin’, no. You can’t want to be big time and not move big time. It’s like, you can’t be big time if you ain’t got the Haute Living cover!”

Kudos Khaled — I see you.

DJ Khaled — born Khaled Mohammed Khaled — is chilling at home at his $25.9 million waterfront pad in Miami, and life is good. He is, as he himself might say, blessed up (and in a big way).

Home has always been where Khaled’s heart is. It’s where his family is, and it’s in the Magic City — the city responsible for making him a legend. It’s where, for over two decades, his career has grown from strength to strength, where he laid his hat after winning four Grammys; where he achieved dozens of multiplatinum and gold certifications, including the sextuple-platinum Billboard Hot 100 #1 ‘I’m The One’ (featuring Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance the Rapper, and Lil Wayne), the quadruple-platinum ‘Wild Thoughts’ (featuring Rihanna and Bryson Tiller), and doubleplatinum ‘No Brainer’ (featuring Justin Bieber, Chance the Rapper, and Quavo); where he’d head back to after shooting blockbusters like Bad Boys For Life and Pitch Perfect 3; where he launched his record label, management, publishing, and production company, We the Best Music Group; and where he established his non-profit, the We The Best Foundation.

And so when he says that Miami is not only a city, but also a part of him, I totally get it.

“Miami raised me to who I am right now, besides my family, obviously, and God,” he declares. “When you hear my sound, it’s inspired by Miami. I’m so grateful that my city loves me, and that my city knows my story — that I started off working hard, and that I’m still working hard. My whole empire was born in Miami; my growth came from the city. Everywhere I go all over the world, I represent the 305, Miami-Dade County. It’s a part of me.”

I always want to know why, and this time is no different. What is it about this city that inspires such pride, outside of being the place that made him a star? Khaled breaks it down for me.

“I would say there’s no city in the world like Miami. I feel like we are so blessed to have so much culture here. You’ve got Jamaicans, Haitians, Cubans, Latinos, Americans; I’m Palestinian American. I drive down the street, and I be in Cuba, I be in Puerto Rico, I be in Jamaica. All these beautiful, diverse people, all in one city. And from a musical perspective, it’s incredible, because if you’re a music producer or an artist, you can embrace so many different sounds. This city is unbelievable on so many levels.”

It’s also contributed to a plethora of opportunities that most of us can only imagine in our wildest dreams, like his upcoming, still-undated DJ Khaled x Air Jordan 5 ‘We The Best’ collaboration, a four-pair collection in retro colors that are sure to be collector’s finds, or his becoming the CCO of global sneaker retailer, Snipes. He’s in the midst of producing a secret record for some bigname artists, shooting several commercials, and also references a mind-blowing moment in his own personal career trajectory that he can’t really talk about, that involves traveling internationally for the first time to parts unknown for a “big, big show” that “people have been wanting for a long time.”

And beyond that? “What’s next would be more love, more blessings, and more wins. I’m doing a lot of things for my brand, my empire, my business; I have so much that I can’t wait to share with y’all, that I’ve been working on. I’m always in the studio. [My son] Asahd is playing basketball. He’s only five years old, and he’s playing like he’s in the NBA already. Aalam is two years old, and he caught fish off the dock. Everything that’s happening, big and small, is incredible, and it’s our job just to keep going.”

But one also needs to know when to press pause, and he’s a believer in that, too. “Sometimes, you need to sit back, look at life, and reflect. I’m watching my boys grow, and when I look at them, I see me. When I look at them, I see my queen. I look at them, and I see God. I see my vision and my work ethic and my creativity. And to be able to sit here, on my couch, with my son right across from me, watching TV, is a blessing, and I don’t take that for granted. Blessings don’t have to be big things — they can be the simplest thing ever, like sitting with my son, watching movies, having popcorn. But it’s those small moments that make me want to go harder, and

continue to build the empire even bigger. Because really, I have no choice. I have two beautiful boys, and I’m going to do everything for them. I have to work hard as a daddy, to be there for my kids and my family.”

Which is why he chose to predominantly make God Did in his special place, at home in the Magic City. “You got to understand, when I made this album, I kept all distractions away from me. I was literally refusing millions of dollars while I was working on it. I wouldn’t even reply to people, and I still don’t know if that’s a good thing. I just know that while I was making it, I didn’t want any distortion; I wanted to be super pure,” he explains, sharing that he went to a different place in its creation — figuratively, that is (literally, we now know exactly where he was).

“You’ve got to remember, I’m a father. I want to be there when my kids come home from school. I want to be woken up in the place where my queen [wife Nicole Tuck] is getting my boys dressed for school,” he says. And so, he made sure that his family was always close by, whether that be at home while he toiled away in the studio, within sight on the beach while he filmed the music video for ‘Beautiful,’ or swimming in a nearby river while he shot the album’s cover on location in Jamaica.

“I can’t take all the credit for this album. Obviously, all glory to God, but you have to give credit to my queen, and my kids, too; that’s why I made them executive producers,” he says. (It’s true, and what’s more, his sons also guested on the album.)

He continues, “I’ve been blessed to have this life, and the love of my family, so I made a promise to myself, and that was to create an environment where I could have my family with me every step of the way. That’s the love I want to be around, non-stop.”

While this is in total alignment with what I’ve learned about Khaled thus far, I admit I’m surprised to learn about what he cherishes in those quiet moments where it’s just Khaled, alone in the universe, indulging and appreciating the rare silence.

The greatest luxury he can imagine is sitting at home in Miami, in his backyard, downing a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch with almond milk at 4:47 a.m. (to be exact), shirtless, in his boxers.

“The moments I really cherish are the simplest ones,” he admits. “I’m a real guy. When I become a billionaire, I’m still going to be this Khaled, the one you hear on the phone; the only difference is that I’ll be a billionaire. And I eat Cinnamon Toast Crunch at 4:47 a.m. That’s what I do when I’m reflecting on life, feeling peaceful. Me in the backyard, eating cereal, those are the kind of moments that I look forward to. I work so hard, and when I’m on the road, I just can’t wait to get home to the backyard. But you’ve got to keep going, and I’m just getting started. You know what I’m saying?”

Ghibli Trofeo

WHEN I WAS OFFERED A WEEK WITH THE MASERATI GHIBLI TROFEO, I didn’t immediately jump at the chance. I knew that the Ghibli was the younger sibling of the Quattroporte, and thought that it must be an underpowered, weaker family member. Boy, was I wrong.

The Ghibli — the smaller of the two four-door sedans in the Maserati family — is named after a strong, hot desert wind in Libya, also called a sirocco. This Maser comes in four flavors, with varying degrees of power and an increasing base price (see chart below).

The Trofeo (“Trophy”) model is clearly the most robust Ghibli in terms of competence and performance. The twin-turbo V8 engine has 538 lb-ft of torque, sufficient for even the most jaded to experience excitement. The eight-speed automatic transmission can also be operated via the paddle shifters, which is my preference. I especially like the throaty sound of the exhaust coupled with the g-force produced on acceleration.

While not too dissimilar in appearance from the other Ghiblis, it does have some special tri-color badging, a blacked-out grill, and carbon fiber at the front splitter and the front intakes. The V8 needs more air for breathing than the V6, so the Ghibli hood provides open vents, another distinguishing detail. The system is clearly effective, as I had no overheating problems during my time with this

special car. It drove like a dream everywhere I went — not just to the grocery store or around for errands, but also so on some freeway runs and even up to Mulholland Highway.

On top of the base price, “mine” (for the week) had $25,000 in options, most notably the $3,200 “Pelletessuta,” woven Napa leather textile sports seats designed with Ermenegildo Zegna, of the custom-suit fame, so you know they’re top-drawer. An unusual and elegant fabric, it adds a special look to the Trofeo interior. The high-end sound system and anodized red brake calipers are de rigueur these days, and were included on my car ($2,500 and $1,500, respectively).

The Trofeo is a great car for driving — roomy enough for five passengers, a trunk large enough for their belongings, and enough power to thrill them all. The engine sound alone is worth the price of admission, and it’s even adjustable in case you want to tone it down for the neighbors. With the engine designed by Maserati and assembled by engineers at Ferrari, the gorgeous red cylinder heads on the motor portend what’s to come and look good doing so.

My time with the Trofeo ended way too quickly, but so be it. I had a great experience with the car and came away with a new-found admiration for the folks at Maserati who created it.

Lexus LC 500 Coupe+

A powerful yet refined grand tourer.

BY TIM LAPPEN PHOTOS COURTESY OF TOYOTA MOTOR

THIS IS NOT MY MOTHER’S LEXUS. REALLY. HERS WAS AN LS 400, purchased around 1990, and it lived up to the LS designation as a luxury sedan. The younger man I was then was not thrilled with the superinsulated ride, as I wanted road feel. But even then, I had to admit that it was quiet and comfortable.

Flash forward over three decades later and the Lexus of today has a surfeit of models and a panoply of vehicle designations, denoting a brand that has something for everyone. Case in point — the LC 500 (Luxury Coupe with 500 cubic centimeters [CCs] of displacement — which has a pretty direct correlation to power — in this case 471 hp coming from a naturallyaspirated [no turbo or supercharger] muscular V8). The sporty ones among us will enjoy the throaty roar of the exhaust on full throttle, and the almostsprightly feel of the car’s response to acceleration and braking. Those who prefer a more sedate ride will appreciate that this car is an Lexus L (luxury), with leather-trimmed power seats and a transmission so slick it’s hard to discern any shifting going on (note – it has eight speeds, but good luck trying to count them while underway).

Creating the LC500 must be something like creating holy water — you boil the hell out of it — as all of the vestiges of sports car ride and feel have been tamed, smoothed, and luxuriated into submission. That’s not to say that the LC500 isn’t a performer, as it can hang with the others at the “Stop Light Grand Prix.” With a 0-60 mph time of 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 168 mph

(stats provided by Lexus), it’s a respectable athlete. But Lexus has never been known as a manufacturer that focuses on such statistics alone, as they’ve always blended the ability of the car with the comfort, convenience, and ease of driving, all of which, to many of us, add up to a great grand tourer (GT) instead of a car that excels in one or two speed metrics.

“My” Lexus (for a week) was in the Cadmium Orang colorway which, I admit, was not love at first sight. It did grow on me, though, as did my appreciation for what Lexus brought to the GT table. I grew to appreciate the sound and the relative-fury for what they were, and actually enjoyed the ergonomically-designed cooled and heated seats. On top of the base price of $93,050, the build sheet showed a relatively-modest $7,790 in options, which resulted in a sticker price of $102,545 (I have seen some as-tested LC500s priced above $120,000). However, mine did not seem meager in any sense, partly because the options did include the $5,000 Sport Package, with 21” wheels, Alcantara seat inserts, and the $1,220 Mark Levinson 13-speaker sound system.

Though my week with the LC500 was not replete with canyon carving or test-track driving, I enjoyed my time with the car. When I wanted to merge on to the 405 with alacrity (which one can do only if driving between 2:30 and 3:00 a.m.), the abundance of power was quite welcome. When I had a longer drive, especially in traffic, the insulated nature of the Lexus was a welcome respite from the day. All in all, I enjoyed the LC for all that it offered, and also for what it didn’t.

The Great Evolution +

Omega releases eight new models of the famous Speedmaster ‘57 timepiece in new, autumnal colorways.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

OVER THE LAST SEVERAL DECADES, THE SPEEDMASTER HAS become an iconic Omega style. Inspired by the complex dynamic between race car drivers and engineers while on the track, the Speedmaster debuted in 1957 as Omega’s first line of chronographs. Since its inception, there have been many iterations of the Speedmaster, including the famous Moonwatch and the Speedmaster ‘57. Originally launched in 2013, the Speedmaster ‘57 makes its grand return this year with eight new models that feature an impressive Master Chronometer upgrade.

Designed through a modern lens, the new Speedmaster ‘57 timepieces sport a slimmer 40.5 mm silhouette and are fabricated in premium stainless steel, but elements of the original style remain, such as the brushed metallic bezel with its “Dot Over Ninety” and the renowned Broad Arrow hands. The new models introduce an elevated range of dial colors, from deep navy blue and burgundy, to black and green gradation, with interchangeable leather straps for the bracelet. Inside, the new Speedmaster ‘57 is equipped with the Co-Axial Master Chronometer 9906 movement, highlighting Omega’s dedication to reaching the pinnacle of precision, magnetic resistance, and performance.

`The Omega Speedmaster ‘57 has become a timeless icon of the brand; in fact, actors George Clooney and Hyum Bin just recently starred in the campaign, revealing their admiration for its revolutionary design.

The Sky’s The Limit

Rolex’s new Oyster Perpetual Air-King pays tribute to the art of aviation.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

DESIGNED FOR THE PIONEERS OF AVIATION AND THOSE WHO dare to explore the vast heights of the sky, the new Oyster Perpetual Air-King is a timepiece that embodies the spirit of flight. The history of the Air-King dates back to the 1930s — the golden age of aviation, a period when the aviation industry made massive leaps in aircraft performance, paving the way for future pilots. Several pilots set records while wearing an Oyster, while others used a Rolex watch as an onboard chronometer, solidifying it as a legendary aviation timepiece.

The new model boasts a completely redesigned case, with a crown guard and straight sides like most Professional category models. Its display has been refreshed and balanced with the addition of a 0 before the 5 on the minutes scale — two digits now mark each five-minute interval.

Like its predecessors, the new-generation Air-King has the distinctive black dial — but this edition is enhanced with an optimized Chromalight display, guaranteeing maximum legibility in dark conditions. Additionally, the hands and triangular hour marker at 12 o’clock are filled and coated with new luminescent material — exclusive to Rolex — for a longer lasting, more intense glow. The 3, 6, and 9 numerals are now also visible in the dark thanks to this innovative material.

Finally, the new Air-King is equipped with caliber 3230, a movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex, released in 2020 and now fitted on this model from 2022. Caliber 3230 incorporates the patented Chronergy escapement, which combines high energy efficiency with excellent dependability, making the new Air-King the ultimate air companion.

Grand Seiko unveils the new and incredibly sleek SLGH013 in Ever-Brilliant Steel

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

GRAND SEIKO’S DESIGN INSPIRATION HAS always been derived from nature and the dynamic relationship between storytelling and high watchmaking. Each new timepiece delves deep into the rich history of Japan’s landscape, telling the story of the culture through unparalleled design details in every watch. And so, in true Grand Seiko style, the latest release within the Heritage Collection, the Hi-Beat 36000 reference SLGH013, is symbolic of the melting snow of Mt. Iwate, the mountain that overlooks the Grand Seiko Studio in Shizukuishi.

The sleek style of the light blue dial represents the distinct texture of the snow on Mt. Iwate as it melts during the seasonal transition from winter to spring. The dial is achieved through a multi-step process involving press-patterning to create the texture. This creates a dramatic lighting effect and fashions the one-of-a-kind dial depth that Grand Seiko is known for. Complementing the brilliant radiance of the dial is Zaratsu polishing, which delivers a smooth and distortion-free mirror finish on the upper surfaces of the 40mm case.

This timepiece also makes Grand Seiko design history as the first mainstream creation to feature the high-grade Ever-Brilliant Steel for not only the case, but the bracelet as well. The Ever-Brilliant Steel has a PREN (Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number) value almost two times higher than the standard grade of steel used in high-class watches — catapulting this timepiece’s design into its own echelon. Remaining true to the incredibly high standard to which Grand Seiko holds itself, the movement that powers the SLGH013 is caliber 9SA5, seen through the sapphire caseback, and has a power reserve of 80 hours — an enhanced precision that the Hi-Beat movement can deliver.

Another testament to Grand Seiko’s powerful art of storytelling through high watchmaking, the SLGH013 is steel perfection.

Louis Vuitton launches a limited edition watch to mark the 20th anniversary of the Tambour.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

LOUIS VUITTON IS A MAISON THAT CONTINUALLY LOOKS TO its past design DNA in order to catapult the brand into a modern era. Case in point: to commemorate the 20th anniversary of its firstever automatic GMT watch, the Tambour, the brand has launched a new timepiece, the Tambour Twenty, that honors the design of the original timepiece launched two decades ago.

The first iteration of the Tambour timepiece, unveiled in 2002 at the La Chaux-de-Fonds workshop in Switzerland, sported a 39.5mm diameter stainless steel case with a gradient dial in rich chocolate brown with contrasting yellow markers. Today, the new Tambour Twenty chronograph embodies some of the same design codes, retreating back to the deep brown color of the sun-brushed dial with bold yellow hands, while also giving a fresh perspective on the timepiece, as the Tambour Twenty boasts a larger, sportier 41.5mm stainless steel case fitted with a luxurious leather strap. Inside the new timepiece lies the high-frequency LV277 movement based on the Zenith El Primero, the first automatic chronograph ever. Similar to the original Tambour, the Tambour Twenty also

features “Louis Vuitton” across the numbers and indexes for a more subtle, minimalistic style compared to the previous dynamic Tambour iterations designed throughout the years.

The Tambour Twenty is limited to just 200 pieces, which are uniquely numbered on the caseback, and comes in a mini trunk in Monogram canvas (a Louis Vuitton signature), making this timepiece a true collector’s piece. “Watch enthusiasts will recognize all the features that made the Tambour’s design so unique. While this limited edition is a true concentrate of everything that made this watch stand out, it also boasts brand new features that will set it apart for collectors,” notes Jean Arnault, the Marketing and Development Director for Louis Vuitton watches.

Over the last two decades, Louis Vuitton has released over 20 complex versions of the Tambour watch, further proving the Maison’s devotion to high watchmaking and its unparalleled craft; thus, there’s no better way to celebrate its 20th anniversary then by paying homage to the legendary timepiece that started it all.

The Intersection Of Art & High Watchmaking

Hublot partners with internationally renowned contemporary street artist Shepard Fairey to launch a brand-new timepiece.

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

THIS OCTOBER, HUBLOT HAS SOME MAJOR NEWS: THEY’VE once again tapped artist Shepard Fairey to collaborate on a new timepiece, The Classic Fusion Aerofusion Chronograph All Black Shepard Fairey. On the heels of their 2018 partnership on the Big Bang Meca-10 Shepard Fairey, and the 2020 release of Classic Fusion Chronograph Shepard Fairey limited edition timepieces, Hublot and Fairey are taking their collaboration further by exploring the relationship between art and haute horology as a part of the “Hublot Loves Art” initiative. A North American exclusive limited to just 50 pieces, the new watch fuses Fairey’s signature star mandala with Hublot’s All Black signature design to create a revolutionary monochromatic masterpiece. “[Fairey] is an artist of global significance, but first and foremost, he is an artist of American significance, defining our changing and sometimes challenging times,” notes Ricardo Guadalupe, the CEO of Hublot. “For this reason, it is fitting that we produce an edition exclusively for the North American market that celebrates both the art and the artist and the city he calls home.” The famed artist, painter, graphic designer, activist, DJ, and illustrator is known for breaking

boundaries through his artwork, which is housed in some of the world’s most prestigious galleries and democratically displayed on streetscapes in major cities across the US, and this particular timepiece is a tribute to his home in Hollywood.

At first glance, one can easily get lost in the black depths of the timepiece, but up close, Hublot and Fairey’s stunning design comes to life on the dial and bezel. Housed within this ceramic work of art is the precise chronograph movement, seen through the sapphire caseback and ultimately mimicking the complex outer design.

For Fairey, the mandala became an integral element in the timepiece’s design. “Over the course of my watchmaking partnership with Hublot, I discovered that the mandala — a recurring theme of my work and an ongoing source of inspiration — lives in perfect harmony and balance within a timepiece, and it naturally became the centerpiece for my collaboration,” explains Fairey. “In revisiting this design for a North American exclusive, we took this distinctive shape and married it with the Hublot signature All Black ceramic for a look that fuses our respective artworks together.”

A collection that embodies Karl Lagerfeld’s love affair with Monaco, the cruise collection fuses modern, sporty silhouettes with sophisticated, feminine touches — a design drivingforce that continues to define Chanel.

Natural Instinct

The Louis Vuitton Fall 2022 Women’s collection first debuted at the iconic Musée d’Orsay in Paris. Despite the historical backdrop of the museum’s sculptures and artwork, the collection was incredibly modern. Juxtaposition is something Nicolas Ghesquière continually plays with at the Maison, and for this collection, Ghesquière reflected on the innocence and fleeting freedoms of young adulthood. From rugby shirts to graphic styles adorned with photographer David Sims’ photographs from the ‘90s, to tailored trousers and blouses reminiscent of school uniforms, the Louis Vuitton Fall 2022 Women’s collection is Ghesquière’s tribute to the natural instincts of the youth. “This collection is dedicated to the youth,” Ghesquière said, “in hopes that it can keep the unresolved poetry of adolescence like a flawless garment — in all its vivid romanticism, inspiring idealism, hope for the future, for a better world, and its dreams of perfection.”

Intentional Design

BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE

To be a modern luxury brand, one must adapt to the surrounding environment and evolve. Thus, in February 2022, Louis Vuitton opened its doors to the new, groundbreaking fine leather atelier, Oratoire. A testament to the Maison’s unwavering commitment to conscious design, circular creativity, and sustainable practices, Oratoire’s bioclimatic design is an industry first — the first industrial eco-building of its type in France, and the most energy efficient Louis Vuitton site in the world to date.

Without sacrificing Louis Vuitton’s keen eye for architectural design, the stunning Oratoire structure is made from FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified wood, ensuring there is sustainable management of the forests it comes from, as well as 100 percent recycled metal. The Oratoire atelier has accomplished sustainable technical feats within the design by focusing on the insulation and orientation of the site, as well as consciously choosing the appropriate materials to conserve heat or cool the air, and strategically implementing natural ventilation techniques to halve the site’s energy consumption in comparison to the existing Louis Vuitton ateliers. Calling upon natural resources, there is a weather station and temperature sensors that activate louvers on the façade, and the use of natural light helps reduce electricity consumption.

From the inside out, the Oratoire atelier represents the Maison’s perseverance in making strides in eco-conscious design.

Oratoire

Oratoire atelier reservoir

Setting a new precedent for the next generation of ateliers, Oratoire has proven that sustainable architecture is the future — even in the most demanding ateliers like Louis Vuitton, with it’s uncompromising commitment to high quality craftsmanship. The Maison’s approach to the concept has been a continuous learning experience, with constant improvements being made as they hold themself to the high standards of worldwide environmental certifications, such as HQETM, LEED,® and BREEAM.®

Sustainability in Louis Vuitton transcends the Oratoire atelier. In fact, the Maison eco-designs events, exhibitions, and boutique merchandising windows reduces the environmental footprint of runway shows. Most recently, the brand launched a new iteration of the LV trainer made of 90 percent recycled and bio-sourced materials. Another eco-design feat created by the late Virgil Abloh, the new LV trainer is adorned with the signature ‘Sustainable Development’ logo.

Impressively, by 2025, Louis Vuitton has committed to 100 percent reuse or recycling of all event and window materials, as well as 100 percent renewable energy in production and logistics sites and 100 percent LED lighting to be implemented in all boutiques. There’s no denying that Louis Vuitton is at the forefront of a rapidly evolving industry — an industry that desperately needs to look inward with regards to sustainable practices — and through its sustainable development plan, the Maison has pledged to preserve natural resources and create a positive impact on society.

THE SOUL OF Sevilla

For the Christian Dior 2023 Cruise Collection, Maria Grazia Chiuri completely immersed herself in the Andalusian culture at the heart of Sevilla. A collection that permeates Spanish culture’s tradition, craftsmanship, and essence, the new Dior Cruise Collection celebrates the local artists and artisans who create Spain’s feminine beauty. From seeking inspiration from famed Flamenco dancer Carmen Amaya, to collaborating alongside artisans like Fernández y Roche atelier to design the hats, and artist Pietro Ruffo and artisan Daniel López-Obrero Carmona to reinterpret the Cordoba leather tradition — which combines carving and painting techniques seen on several of the bags — the Dior cruise collection is teeming with the captivating soul of Sevilla.

GALAXY GALORE

In 1932, Gabrielle Chanel shook the world with the debut of the first-ever High Jewelry collection to exist, “Bijoux de Diamants.” A collection that pulled inspiration from intergalactic wonders to create stunning diamonds that resembled comets, crescent moons, and the sun, “Bijoux de Diamants” became Chanel’s love story to the eternal beauty of the galaxy. Now, 90 years later, Patrice Leguéreau, the Director of the Chanel Fine Jewelry Creation Studio, has revisited the celestial motifs from the inaugural collection to create a modern, high jewelry masterpiece. From the Comète Saphir ring that embodies the glow of the Milky Way, to the Soleil Mademoiselle necklace with a mesmerizing sparkle, the incredibly precious 1932 High Jewelry collection is out of this world.

It’s A Plastic Surgery

+Love Affair

Rumor has it: New Yorkers are in a long-distance relationship with Neinstein Plastic Surgery, regardless of their home base.

BY BROOKE KLAIMAN

IT’S NOT EVERY DAY YOU FIND TRUE LOVE AT A PLASTIC SURGEON’S office; but, if you’re lucky enough, you’ll surely find love for Dr. Ryan Neinstein, a board-certified plastic surgeon in New York City and the owner of Neinstein Plastic Surgery.

The love for Dr. Neinstein began back when chic New York families started to flock to vibrant South Florida, hoping to achieve an aesthetic that still encompassed the elegant and refined New York look. Because of the top-notch team at Neinstein Plastic Surgery, patients continued to swoon over their mom-bods. Since then, Dr. Neinstein has fallen into many committed long-distance relationships with his patients.

To get the inside scoop on how his booming South Florida Mommy Makeover practice continues to woo patients, Haute Beauty sat down with Dr. Neinstein. Here’s the relationship tea:

Who is Dr. Ryan Neinstein?

Dr. Ryan Neinstein is a board-certified plastic surgeon in New York City and the owner of Neinstein Plastic Surgery. He’s often referred to as the surgeon’s surgeon, because many surgeons choose him as their trusted doctor. As a masterclass instructor and the author of industry safety guidelines, he stresses the importance of hyper-specialization and patient care above all else. He’s also an entrepreneur and speaks frequently on how to harness personal and

team potential in a modern world. His most proud achievement is the loving family he has with his celebrity fitness instructor wife, Lauren Neinstein.

Where It All Began

As a grandchild of a Holocaust survivor, Dr. Neinstein has always had it engrained in him to have a true sense of purpose in life.

Growing up, he had a love of team sports and science. One brought him camaraderie, and the other brought him certainty. This led him into the medical field. He believes medicine is the greatest profession there is. Why? It allows you to do things on your own and impact other humans, satisfying all the things he looked for in a profession.

While exposed to practices in training, it always seemed that healthcare was happening to patients and not for patients, and that the ultimate hospitality experience was never top-of-mind to surgeons. Believing in himself, Dr. Neinstein decided to break free from the status quo and do something different.

Eventually, Dr. Neinstein settled on plastic surgery because it’s a specialty that allows not just the reversal of things that have happened to people, but for one to improve people’s lives. As his career grew and he opened the doors of Neinstein Plastic Surgery, he eventually reoriented his time, energy, and effort to mastering Mommy Makeover operations.

Dr. Ryan Neinstein’s wife, Lauren Ashley Neinstein, son Aspen, and daughter Blair

Why Mommy Makeovers?

Dr. Neinstein has such an affinity for Mommy Makeover operations because, being a husband in a young family, he can understand the hearts and minds of other mothers. Whether they are young or old, he’s seen the physiological and psychological changes mothers experience at home. There’s a genuine connection between him and the patients, making a break-up out of the picture.

Mommy Makeovers Explained

On the technical side, a Mommy Makeover operation is a harmonious combination of operating on all parts of the body, reversing things that have been stretched or torn from pregnancy, and enhancing features to make all moms feel beautiful within themselves and not be stuck with the changes brought on by motherhood.

Dr. Neinstein’s personal Mommy Makeover operations are often referred to as ‘Birkin Bodies’ by New Yorkers. This is for two reasons: it’s hard to get on the surgical schedule, and they are on the higher end of the pricing scale compared to other procedures. Essentially, Neinstein Plastic Surgery changes more and gives more, while patients get more. What could be better than that?

The whole practice, from the team to the facility, is optimized for patient care and outcome. A Mommy Makeover, to Dr. Neinstein, is a general anesthetic operation that reverses changes in breasts — typically by lifting and filling. Whether or not they are using implants or fat, the goal is a youthful and perky (but not overly done) breast.

When it comes to the abdomen, Dr. Neinstein and his team reconstruct core muscles, remove extra skin, go through multiple variations of nips and tucks, and re-contour the silhouette with Dr. Neinstein’s signature liposculpting.

What makes Neinstein Plastic Surgery unique?

Neinstein Plastic Surgery has a long, lean, and athletic desired look. They aren’t going to give you overly done breasts or buttocks; they’re going to make you, the patient, look as good as possible without it being noticeable. That aesthetic — the refined, subtle, Uptown look — is why many patients who’ve relocated to South Florida continue to be infatuated with Dr. Neinstein for all of their surgical needs.

To add to the love affair, Neinstein Plastic Surgery has a custom program to help out-of-town patients with their travel. It involves hotel stays, private nursing, chefs, personal assistants, and anything that can help make their travel and recovery easier.

The Neinstein Plastic Surgery Team

You can only be as good as your team. From professional sports to surgery, each team member needs to contribute and be equally committed to the patient’s outcome. From the front desk to the nurses, each person is responsible for showing sympathy and empathy to ensure the patient’s experience is loving, positive, and caring at every moment. Having a team committed to that goal is the only way to ensure successful outcomes.

Love is in the air. At Neinstein Plastic Surgery, there are four core values that bond the staff: each person is highly qualified, has a lifelong commitment to learning, is willing to share their knowledge, and is comfortable with feedback. All of these values break down the traditional barriers of a doctor’s office, and are the reasons New Yorkers will continue to be in a long-distance relationship with Neinstein Plastic Surgery, regardless of their home base.

THE BEST IN LUXURY TRANSPORTATION

BY LAURA SCHREFFLER

From an eco-road trip with Casey Affleck to a once-in-alifetime journey aboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express to a wellness cruise with Gwyneth Paltrow, these are luxury travel transportation experiences you should be dreaming about.

THE CELEBRITY CRUISES GOOP! EXPERIENCE

When Gwyneth Paltrow decides to host a cruise party, you know it’s probably going to involve green juice over champagne, but no matter it’s epic all the same. Such was the case in September, when Celebrity Beyond launched its inaugural goop at Sea Experience through Spain, the Italian Riviera, and France. The goop cruise hosted workshops, movement sessions, pop-up wellness activities, and a live, in-person conversation with Queen G herself.

So what was the experience like? Unmissable, of course! Guests dined at Le Voyage by Daniel Boulud, Global Culinary Ambassador Daniel Boulud’s first restaurant at sea;the dining experience Blu for AquaClass guests, with menus featuring clean, crisp flavors and inventive cuisine complemented by an extensive list of sustainable, biodynamic wines;the Spa and Fitness Center, including at-sea fitness programs such as F45 classes and Peloton cycling, 120 rejuvenating and destination-inspired treatments, and the SEA Thermal Suite, with eight distinct spaces to navigate a personalized path to wellness; the Solarium, an adults-only glass-dome-covered pool area; the Aqua Sky Suite, a beautifully appointed suite with a spacious veranda and spa-inspired elements thoughtfully infused throughout, including eco-friendly bath products, yoga mats, and eXhale bedding; a special detox smoothie; and on-demand wellness programming from the likes of Katie Brauer, founder of the Yoga Professional, Noella Gabriel, co-founder and Global President of Elemis, Kimberly Snyder, founder of Solluna, and Ruth Zukerman, co-founder of SoulCycle and FlyWheel Sports.

Alas, while the goop cruise has sailed, the same itinerary can be enjoyed by guests in 2023 aboard Celebrity Reflection, which has offerings that Gwyneth’s did not. These include Michael’s Club for Retreat guests (expect complimentary beverages, gourmet bites, and a comfortable place to unwind, as well as a dedicated concierge who’ll make any arrangements you need — on board or off); special suites with cantilevered showers; a lawn club with eight exclusive, cabana-style retreats, including The Alcoves; the intimate, Hamptons-style casual dining venue, The Porch; The Art Studio, for aspiring artists interested in hands-on classes, some culinarythemed; the open-air, interactive Lawn Club Grill; and special smoothies at the on-site spa café. Goop or no goop, your journey will be epic — we promise.

On the Road

CASEY AFFLECK SET OUT ON AN ECOFRIENDLY ROAD TRIP UP THE CALIFORNIA COAST. THIS IS WHAT HE DISCOVERED.

BY CASEY AFFLECK

PHOTO COURTESY OF MICAELA MCLUAS, LOCATION COURTESY OF GB ARTISTS, LOS ANGELES

IT’S AUGUST 2022, AND I’M TAKING A ROAD TRIP FROM Los Angeles to Portland. The route I’m planning is about 1,200 miles with some zigzagging. It will take six days.

Next week, my son is going to college. He was raised in Los Angeles. He’s moving to New York City. Despite all the traveling I’ve done between the coasts, NYC has never felt as far away as it does now. Although this feels unrelated to what I’m doing, it’s not. My son leaving is the only thing on my mind as I embark on this trip.

But don’t get me wrong, I’m excited to take a certain car out on the open road: the Polestar 2. I first encountered Polestar in Europe, where I was filming a movie earlier this year. The film is science fiction, and for most of it I’m on a space ship headed to Jupiter. There are a few flashbacks to my life on Earth. In those flashbacks, I have a Polestar and a mustache. I liked driving it around, and inquired about getting one in the United States.

And get one I did — partially because I agreed to drive the car up the west coast and write about the journey for Haute Living. But really, I like any excuse to take a long road trip in a great car.

So yes, I’ve taken other road trips. I’ve driven across Europe, South America, Australia, and back and forth across the US and Canada a dozen times. I’ve taken every major interstate. I’ve circled and explored every city in America. I’ve done these trips with my kids, with my brother, with friends, with strangers, with colleagues, with dogs, with my girlfriend, and alone. I love all the little towns and people and the forests and wide open spaces. All of it. I love watching it change — sometimes subtly and sometimes suddenly.

At 23, I drove across Ireland with my mother and her long-time boyfriend. Their relationship was coming to an end (again), so there was some tension, and I didn’t really want visitors on location, so there was some additional tension. They both seemed nervous being on the “wrong” side of the road. Also, for the whole first day of the trip, it rained very hard. I drove fast through this torrential downpour: wipers thumping away sheets of rain but not making a difference, cars whipping past in the “wrong” direction. Nobody spoke. My mom’s boyfriend finally broke one long, tense stretch of silence with a simple, “Jesus.” Looking back, I was torturing them for the misery they put me through in my adolescent years. Everything was fine in the end, but nobody brings that trip up.

Circa 1998, my father was living at a rehab facility in a small desert town in Southern California. He’d bottomed out in Massachusetts a few years earlier. He found his way to an affordable place to dry out once and for all. It was bleak where he was. Desert bleak. My brother followed him west a couple years later, and then I did the same when I graduated high school. Now I was headed back from California to Boston, going home to find work and maybe go back to college. I stopped in to see him. It was 116 degrees and he lived in a bungalow the size of a prison cell, attached to a larger concrete structure. He met me out front. I told him where I was headed. He stared at me skeptically. He smoked. He looked at my car. It was a 1969 Cadillac Sedan de Ville that cost $5,000 and reeked of gas on the inside, no matter how many times I replaced lines or cleaned its floor-mats. He said, “I wouldn’t take it on the highway.” I knew it was old, but I figured he was just trying out some parenting “caution” to make up for lost years. “Your roof will probably come off,” he added. I had no idea what he was talking about. The roof had been on the car for almost 30 years. A lot could go wrong with an old car but usually it wasn’t that the roof came off. I almost voiced this point, but didn’t. I understood that maybe my old man had drank so much over the years that his brains had gotten soggy. “I will be careful with my roof. Thanks, dad,” I said. Then we hit up an all-you-can-eat buffet, hugged, and I got on the I-10 headed east. Five days later the roof flew off my car. It was late at night and I was barreling down a rural road in Tennessee. The sudden noise was terrifying, and I wasn’t sure what had happened. Later, I learned that small air bubbles were visible where the vinyl met the metal above the windshield. This is what the old man spotted. All those long hours at high speeds filled the bubbles and loosened the roof, and it sailed away.

My kids and I take a long camping road trip every summer. We drive and cook and yell at each other. Most often we go coast to coast. Sometimes we explore other countries. Many of our best memories are from those trips. When they were 13 and 10, we drove across seven European countries in three weeks. We slept in a van on the side of the road, or in parking lots, or campgrounds. They coped. So many things went sideways. We were often too cold or too hot. There was boredom, sickness, and annoyance, but they dealt with it. They dealt with it because somewhere deep down inside, they knew that, all told, something good was happening. Those trips brought us closer, showed us new parts of the world and new parts of each other and ourselves. Those trips brought buried things to the surface and cleared the air. Being stuck in a car together does something good for us.

There have been many, many more, but I’m here to talk about a new road trip. The mission, again, is to drive from SoCal to the Canadian border to see what a road trip is like in an EV, and also to see if I can find luxury hotels that make a real effort to be environmentally friendly. To me, this means they have chargers for the electric vehicles, they consider sustainability in hotel operations, and they serve vegan meals. Why vegan meals? Well, because I’m vegan, but also, if you’re vegan for 20 years you’ll save:

GALLONS

These

from the internet and I haven’t verified them, but I like how they sound.

“I love all the little towns and people and the forests and wide open spaces. All of it. I love watching it change — sometimes subtly and sometimes suddenly.”

Day One

Los Angeles to Santa Barbara. A short day. I leave late. The trip takes two hours and 100 miles. I start at home with a full charge, and when I arrive at El Encanto, A Belmond hotel, the valet is able to park and plug it in upon arrival, as promised. So great news there, and the hotel exceeds expectations in other ways, as well. It’s luxurious, yet relaxed and low-key, elegant in a Southwestern way. The rooms are big and well appointed. They’re clean and the service is friendly and attentive. The food is great; I have a wonderful vegan dinner and breakfast on the terrace overlooking the Santa Barbara coastline.

I’d planned to drive to the hotel, check in, eat, and drive back to LA for a friend’s wedding party that started at 11 p.m. I walk to my bungalow, enjoying the tranquil grounds and my room that overlooks the pool, toward the ocean. I eat. I decide to take a nap. At 10, I will head back to LA, go the wedding party, celebrate my friends, and then drive back to the hotel. The bed is so big and comfortable that I immediately fall asleep in my clothes on top of the sheets. I miss the wedding party. I feel bad.

But onward. This car I’m in whispers down the road and handles very well at high speeds. I go the speed limit. Totally. Promise. But I bet this car would feel breezy at 110.

As I pull out of town, streets are closed and people are moving around in big throngs. “Fiesta” is happening. It’s a parade I never see but everyone is headed that way. I don’t know much about it, except that people throw painted eggs full of confetti.

People move around for so many reasons. We migrate and wander and seek and follow and adventure and run away. Right now I’m basically wandering. I’m testing this car but also enjoying getting lost.

Day Two

So far the Polestar is a handsome, quiet, fast, sturdy car.

Air traffic represents less than two-thirds of the global CO2 emissions, whereas road traffic accounts for around 10 percent of these direct emissions. A Polestar 2 will cost you anywhere between $48,000 and $70,000 to purchase, but only around $300 to take a road trip from one end of the country to the other. The cost of charging your electric vehicle on a road trip can vary, but will generally be between $10 and $30 per charge. That means financially, an electric vehicle is the most cost effective method of traveling and the best for the environment. In addition to its environmental and economical advantages, the Polestar 2 is also comfortable and drives well.

So yes, I’m enjoying driving it to my next stop of Monterey, California, which is four hours and 250 miles away. The Polestar 2 tells me I’ll need to stop along the way for a quick charge. I have two route options: traveling down Highway 1, a famously beautiful stretch of windy road, sometimes high up on the cliff’s edge and sometimes down at water level, or the 101, which is inland and mostly has views of dry farms.

Accidentally, I find myself inland. I want to cut across from the 101 to the 1. The road signs (and my phone’s GPS) say this would mean a long, long detour back down to where they intersect, hours south, so I decide to travel by my own internal compass and cut west toward the ocean on a small road that’s eventually marked “closed” (it wasn’t when I began). The hour of driving on this road is my favorite stretch. I know that if the road is really “closed” at some point, I’ll run out of battery and not make it back to a place where I can sleep, charge the car, or find water or food or cell signal. My life won’t be in danger, but it would be a big drag. I go anyway, and the road is beautiful. There are no cars, but there’s wildlife everywhere. The ponderosas are thriving. It’s quiet and pretty and I feel free. The sun is setting and I feel completely different than I did just a few hours ago. As it’s getting dark and I’m more than halfway to the coast, I turn a corner and see a large, locked, metal gate, and have to double back to the I-5. With two percent battery left, I arrive at a charging station and wait for the car to charge. I eat chips. It’s the best day of my trip.

That night I stay at the Portola Hotel & Spa in Monterey, which does not have chargers for any electric cars. However, it’s a pleasant experience; a quaint hotel that does offer some vegan menu items. The highlight of the Portola Hotel, for me, would have to be the fact that it’s so close to the Fisherman’s Wharf and the Monterey Bay, which is where I book a boat to take me out to sea so I can watch whales.

Day Three

At 7 a.m., I walk down the wharf and find Eddie’s Whale Watch. It’s a grey, chilly morning. The sea is flat. I’ve been whale watching before in Massachusetts. I’m skeptical that I’ll see any whales. Am I a pessimist, or something else? The sea is so big. I find it inconceivable that, in just two hours, I’m going to motor out and see a bunch of whales and then motor home. They move around so much. It all seems impossible.

Captain Dale tells me what to expect — it’s all about the anchovies. The sea lions drive the anchovies down. The whales, coming from deep, drive these same anchovies back to the surface. The anchovies are between a rock and hard place here. They swim deep to avoid being eaten by sea lions. They run into whales coming right at them. The birds also circle around all this carnage hoping to pick something off.

The boat idles on the placid water at dawn. It’s peaceful. Then, Dale points out that in the distance, the water is rippling. A few minutes later, whales appear at the surface. But I’m so far away. This dance happens several times before I finally ask Dale if we can move closer to the action.

He sighs a little. He says, “They will come around.” What Dale is doing is patiently, wisely waiting for the whales to come to him. Chasing them would result in always being in the wrong place. He’s right. Eventually the whales are right next to the boat, and they’re amazing.

I then make my way to San Francisco, which is two-and-a-half hours and approximately 120 miles away. I wasn’t able to charge the car at the Portola Hotel, so I have to stop and charge at an Electrify America charging station in the parking lot of a mall in the middle of nowhere. The Polestar 2 finds the station for us.

Pulling into the bay, I look online for what might be happening. There’s a music festival, Outside Lands. Green Day, Jack Harlow, Phoebe Bridgers, and others are playing. I leave my car in a residential neighborhood and walk into the park, where the festival is taking place.

Jack Harlow has been on tour. He’s jet lagged from playing in Europe. Road life. I don’t know him, but I slip to the side of the stage and watch him from there. His manager is warm and easygoing. After the show, I talk to Jack for a while. We have a mutual friend — Leigh Kilton Smith. He asks about film. I ask about his tour. He’s smart, funny, and friendly. One of my favorite things to do is connect with other performers, to be reminded of the real people behind the public presentation. There’s often a lot of shared experiences that form the basis of a quick friendship.

After the show, I head to Cavallo Point, a luxurious lodge nestled at the northern end of the Golden Gate Bridge. I have a spectacular view of the bridge from my room. It’s so close you can ride to the bridge on a complimentary bike provided by the hotel. I don’t do that. I drive my EV up to the top of a nearby hill, get out, and look at the bridge and the city beyond. If I was transported back in time, I wouldn’t know how to tell the people of the past how to build a bridge like that. There are very few things I’d know how to reproduce for them. Not a phone or a combustion engine, not a toaster or a TV.

DayFour

My favorite of all the places I stay during this trip is Stanford Inn by the Sea in Mendocino, California. It’s the most unique, eco-friendly hotel I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing. As a vegan, I’m pleasantly surprised to learn that they not only have an entirely plant-based restaurant, but that it also has a variety of cuisines on the menu. It’s by far the best fine dining experience I’ve had all week. The folks at Stanford Inn by the Sea grow all of their ingredients within ten acres of the property. The garden is so beautiful; you can tell there’s a lot of love for the plants that are grown there. They even go so far as to take me on a tour of the gardens and teach me how to grow my own crops, too. The organic produce, herbs, and fruit used at the Stanford Inn’s Ravens Restaurant substantially reduce their carbon footprint, and they compost all food and organic wastes, which are recycled into their gardens, virtually eliminating the use of outside fertilizers. They also have a curated library, and some of the guests are quite peculiar and unusual, such as llamas, horses, and donkeys. There’s a fireplace in my room, which is very cozy, and they provide wood, kindling, and matches for you. There’s an indoor saltwater pool, yoga classes, and a sandy river beach with kayak rentals, plus local artwork and views of the ocean. I find the whole stay to be quite peaceful. Like icing on a cake, it turns out they also have ample electric chargers that are compatible with all electric vehicle models. Plus, the owners and managers of the property could not be nicer. The breakfast is one of the best vegan breakfasts I’ve had that wasn’t home-cooked. In the morning, I walk down to the river and jump in, Wim Hof style.

& RESORT (RIGHT)

Day Five

Driving, driving, driving, and then I arrive at Tu Tu’ Tun Lodge. I arrive so late that I can’t get in. I also have no charge on the car and can only recline the seats and go to sleep. I like this because I remember, after a long day, that I don’t care at all where I am or how flat the bed is. A night manager finds me prone in the front seat and says they can unlock a room. When I wake in the morning, the view from the bedroom looks across a sloping lawn to a wide river and woods beyond. I eat outside and then walk down to the river and slip in. The current is strong and the water is cold. The car was never unpacked, so I’m on the road right away.

Day Six

Still driving. The Oregon coast is very nice. My last stop is the Kimpton RiverPlace Hotel, which occupies a picturesque spot on the Willamette River just south of downtown Portland. The clean, quiet, and spacious room exudes a stylish designer touch that sets it apart from typical chain hotel fare, and it’s really green, too. The Kimpton RiverPlace Hotel not only has chargers compatible with a Polestar 2, but they also have vegan doughnuts available for me in my room, which is nice (despite not being Dunkin’). I consider seeing some friends on Suave Island who live on a blueberry farm. It’s 125 minutes from downtown, and after dinner, I head out, but the rain turns me back. It’s definitely not beach weather, not even bonfire weather. I’m tired. It’s time to go home.

“I’ve always felt compelled to blaze my own trail, to go leftwhere others went right....”

In Summary

In conclusion, the car is great. It’s fun to drive, comfortable, does what you want, looks good, and had no problems at all. I loved it. The hotels were, for the most part, meeting the new era of “green” living.

My favorite stretch of road was the closed one. I’ve always felt compelled to blaze my own trail, to go left where others went right, but even the choir needs practice, and the closed road reminded me that so much treasure is hidden off the beaten path. The ponderosas are the things I’ll remember from this trip.

I am happy to go home. Each day I have been thinking more and more about my son. For 18 years he has been under my roof. In a few weeks, he will move 3,000 miles away. I know he will be fine. It isn’t his safety or success that I worry about. His happiness is what I want. But maybe this, too, is foolish. He will be happy and sometimes unhappy. No life should be anything else. Of course, I hope he will experience more of the former. What I should wish for him is a full life, of ponderosas, loving travel companions, and whales. But I know that he already values these things. I know that he will seek them out. I know that he meets the fear of the unknown and far away with a brave and curious heart.

The way electric cars should be. Minimalist design. Powerful performance.

The Polestar 2 propels the driving experience into the zero emissions future.

TAKING TO THE SKIES : NEW INNOVATIONS IN COMMERCIAL LUXURY AVIATION

ETIHAD AIRWAYS

Etihad Airways just unveiled its gorgeous new Airbus A350-1000 on a special inaugural commercial flight from Abu Dhabi to Paris, which is indicative of what’s to come from the most premium of commercial airlines. The aircraft features a RollsRoyce Trent XWB engine, which provides 25 percent less fuel burn and CO2 emissions than previousgeneration twin aisle aircraft, as well a calming new cabin interior inspired by the shadows cast by Abu Dhabi’s palm trees. The atmosphere emulates natural, ambient light and is designed to provide an optimum environment for sleeping, which, in turn, is meant to reduce the effects of jet lag. The elevated Business Class is home to 44 Business Studios with sliding doors that provide a high level of privacy to each suite. Noise-cancelling headphones and an 18.5” TV screen provide an almost cinematic experience, while the seats themselves cleverly feature built-in wireless charging docks and Bluetooth headphone pairing, as well as Acqua di Parma toiletry kits. There’s also a “dine any time” meal service, with fare made to order and dinner specially served on white linen tablecloths and real china. Travelers need to note that there are currently no Etihad Airways Residences — the most expensive seat in the sky at $64,000 a ticket — currently operating anywhere in the world. But the good news is that its Etihad Stopover Program still exists, giving travelers the option of staying overnight in Abu Dhabi during their layover, choosing from several experiences that suit upscale travelers:the Jetsetters option, which includes a five-star hotel in the island city at a 40 percent discount, or Transit Connect, where guests on eligible routes can book a complimentary hotel near Abu Dhabi International Airport if their flight connection time is between 10 and 24 hours — a wonderful way to be able to see local landmarks like the Louvre Abu Dhabi, the stunning architecture and ornate designs of Qasr Al Watan and the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, as well as the theme park attractions at Yas Island.

Air France

AIR FRANCE

If you’re looking for the most gourmet experience in the sky, Air France has you covered. The airline recently unveiled new gastronomic menus created by multiple Michelin-star-holding French chefs, Michel Roth and Anne-Sophie Pic. Roth, who holds honors including Bocuse d’Or and the Meilleur Ouvrier de France, has created a new series of resolutely French, gourmet and refined dishes for customers in the La Première cabin, inclusive of Caviar Sturia accompanied by a pancake with smoked fish cream; lobster medallions with green asparagus and raspberry vinaigrette;tender beef and pan-seared foie gras with a truffle sauce, stir-fried asparagus, and porcini mushrooms; and shrimp in lobster sauce perfumed with tarragon, red rice, and baby spinach. Meanwhile, triple Michelin-starred chef Pic has concocted eight tasty dishes for optimum enjoyment in the Business Cabin, including saithe with seaweed, lovage sauce, Camargue red rice, spinach, and fennel compote; artichoke barigoule, creamy polenta, smoked vanilla Burrata, and tangy tomato coulis; and seashell pasta with chard, lemon coulis, lightly smoked goat cheese cream, and roasted pumpkin seeds. By the end of 2022, the airline is committed to offering 100 percent French meat, dairy products, and eggs, as well as sustainably caught fish, on all its flights from Paris.

TURKISH AIRLINES

Turkish Airlines has long been one of the world’s most elite commercial carriers, but now the airline has a lofty goal: to make its hub, the state-of-the-art Istanbul airport, the world’s largest international travel destination, with an eventual capacity of 200 million passengers — an imminent goal, given that it’s centrally located between the continents of Europe, Asia, and Africa, flying to more countries and international destinations than any other airline in the world (including 17 gateway cities in North America). The experience starts at IGA’s gorgeous new lounge (staffed by stylish employees wearing couture, courtesy of Milan-based haute couturier Ettore Bilotta), which is chock-full of exquisite culinary offerings, including Turkish delight and baklava, as well as a roving masseuse for good measure. Meanwhile, the flight experience itself is supreme, given that Dreamliners are the jewels in the crown of Turkish Airlines’ young and fastgrowing fleet of 388 planes, with each Dreamliner featuring the carrier’s bespoke, all-new Business Class cabins. With lighting that draws inspiration from the colorful sunsets of Turkey’s dreamy Cappadocia region and idyllic turquoise beaches of Bodrum; enhanced privacy panels; self-care mirrors; wide cocktail tables; 180-degree full-flat, 76-inch seat beds; suede-like Alcantara padding (commonly found in sports cars); a snack bar; a dedicated in-flight chef; noise canceling headphones; flow sleeping sets; upscale Coccinelle and Hackett amenity kits; Turkish coffee and Turkish delight service; and even lavatories with live plants, it’s a truly enjoyable upscale experience.

CLICQUOT

AN ICONIC TRAIN JOURNEY

Talk about once in a lifetime! On June 5th, Veuve Clicquot invited guests to celebrate its 250th anniversary by curating a two-night journey that led guests from all over the world to their crayères in Champagne, France, aboard the Venice SimplonOrient-Express, a Belmond Train, and finally to Cipriani, A Belmond Hotel, in Venice, Italy.

The journey began in Reims, where sojourners were treated to a privileged peek inside the crayères of Veuve Clicquot champagnes. Didier Mariotti, the 11th Cellar Master since the foundation of the house in 1772, led the elite crew through a tasting of cuvées — including Brut Carte Jaune, La Grande Dame 2012, Vintage 2002, Cave Privée 1989, and Cave Privée 1995 — which was paired with an sensorial experience and sea-specific menu by chef Philippe Mille of the restaurant Le Parc, in a setting designed by Charles Kaisin that was reminiscent of one of Harry Potter’s Great Hall feasts.

Once on board later that day, passengers checked into their cabins — the best of which were six distinctly different grand suites that embody the ambiance of the cities they were named for (Paris, Vienna, Prague, Budapest, Istanbul, and, of course, Venice) — before enjoying aperitifs and an exquisite dinner prepared by celebrity chef Jean Imbert of Plaza Athénée and Dior Paris. In keeping with the theme of the experience — Solaire Culture — guests rose to see the sunrise in Austria.

Upon arrival in Venice, train guests were transferred to Cipriani, a Belmond Hotel, on Giudecca for a magical night’s stay, with an evening involving Carnival masks, a sunset spectacle with traditional Italian aperitivos, and a dinner of epicurean delights courtesy of Michelin starred Italian chef Ricardo Canella, as well as a slew of dazzling cuvées, of course.

While the this trip cannot be repeated, all experiences can be booked separately, from private tours at the Veuve Clicquot cellars, to a journey aboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, to a splendid stay at the Cipriani, a Belmond Hotel.
