50 ISSUES, ONE VISION, ONE CIRCLE. Fifty issues. It is a number that fills us with genuine emotion and, above all, with gratitude.

When we started Force One, we could hardly have imagined reaching this milestone. Fifty editions later, much has changed, yet the essential idea remains the same: to create a magazine driven by curiosity, beautiful stories, exceptional people and a constant desire to discover what lies around the next corner.

We decided to celebrate this 50th issue in the way that feels most natural to us: by carrying on. By working, creating and looking for the stories that deserve to be told. Our opening double-page spread brings together all 50 covers – a small journey through the history of Force One. Perhaps you will even tell us which one is your favourite.

This edition also marks an important new chapter in our relationship with art, with the installation of our first monumental sculpture at Cala del Forte, Monaco’s third port. It is a project we are particularly proud of and one that opens an exciting new path for us.

The Monaco Yacht Show provides the backdrop for an edition rich in yachting, alongside a special focus on private aviation, including an exclusive interview with Yves Pickardt, one of the world’s leading private-jet interior designers. Travel, fashion and watchmaking continue to take centre stage, with stories shaped by the spirit of the road and the Monaco Grand Prix.

We also continue our collaboration with Investor Media Monaco, bringing together the worlds of business, investment and international events in Monte Carlo, Dubai and beyond.

Fifty issues, one vision, one circle. And, hopefully, many more chapters to come.

In the heart of the medieval village of Èze, between Nice and Monaco, La Chèvre d’Or has embodied one of the French Riviera’s most iconic addresses since 1953. More than a hotel, this legendary property seems to blend seamlessly with the stone, the light and the horizon, offering its guests a timeless experience overlooking one of the Mediterranean’s most breathtaking panoramas.

A place of charm, heritage and excellence, La Chèvre d’Or cultivates the rare art of bringing together history, elegance and emotion. Amid ancient alleyways, terraced gardens and endless sea views, the property has forged a distinctive identity: that of a château suspended between sky and sea, where every moment becomes an unforgettable interlude.

Its two-Michelin-starred gastronomic restaurant has been led since 2024 by Meilleur Ouvrier de France chef Tom Meyer, who also oversees the entire culinary offering of the property. Alongside him, pastry chef Florent Margaillan extends this pursuit of excellence through refined sweet creations and the house’s signature bakery universe.

THIRTY-FIVE WAKES THE SUPERYACHT WORLD RETURNS TO PORT HERCULE

by Andrea Dini

14

© Ciel Azur

For thirty-five years, the same stretch of Port Hercule has been cleared each September to make room for hulls that dwarf the buildings behind them. The 2026 edition, running from Wednesday 23 to Saturday 26 September, marks the anniversary edition of a show that first opened in 1991. What began as a modest quayside gathering now fills the harbour with the largest concentration of superyachts assembled anywhere in a single calendar week.

The numbers set the scale. This year the show brings together 118 superyachts and roughly 60 luxury tenders, with nearly 40 vessels making their debut. The average hull on display measures 50 metres. Several exceed 100. Around them, more than 560 exhibitors take up positions along the quays - shipyards, brokers, naval architects, designers and the suppliers who furnish everything from propulsion systems to bed linen.

ON THE WATER The Dockside Area is the heart of it: the quayside run where the fleet is moored and where deals are made.

Here the exhibition is less a display than a working floor.

Brokers, captains and shipbuilders stand beside their vessels and talk figures - build costs, running costs, the customisation that separates one hull from the next. A visitor with a genuine project can spend an afternoon comparing technical performance across half a dozen yards without leaving the quay.

Wednesday is reserved for VIP pass holders and press; from Thursday the docks open to all valid pass holders, with the fleet refreshed for each edition and curated rather than simply assembled.

BEYOND THE HULL The Adventure Area collects everything that travels with a modern yacht but rarely fits in a brochure photograph.

Tenders line Quai Jarlan and Quai Antoine Ier, where speed and finish are judged together. Alongside them sits the water-toys exhibition, a run of submersibles, foiling craft and the more inventive machines built to be launched off a swim platform. Luxury vehicles complete the set. The premise is straightforward: the yacht is the base, and the experience begins where the gangway ends.

Sailing yachts hold their own section, a deliberate counterweight to the motor fleet for owners who still measure a passage in trim and wind angle rather than horsepower.

WHERE YACHTS BEGIN New for the anniversary edition, the Designer Gallery gives yacht designers, naval architects and creative studios a single waterfront platform within the Dockside Area.

The reasoning is sound - a custom yacht is commissioned long before any steel is cut, in a conversation between an owner and the person who can translate a way of living into a vessel. The gallery gathers those talents in one place so that conversation can start on the quay.

It replaces the former Yacht Design & Innovation Hub, and adds the MYS Immersive Experience by VBH: an interactive environment, built with participating designers and yards, that lets a visitor walk through a build still on the drawing board.

Scale and proportion are notoriously hard to read from a rendering; here an owner can judge both before committing to construction.

A VERIFIED SHADE OF GREEN The show has run an eco-responsible programme since 2005, tightening its own operations year on year across mobility, waste and energy, and asking exhibitors to sign a charter of environmental practice.

The more consequential development is Blue Wake™, introduced in 2025 and now the show's institutional programme for sustainable innovation. Its value lies in the method. Every solution submitted is assessed independently by the Water Revolution Foundation, and only those that clear the eligibility criteria carry the mark.

This year 60 projects were validated.

The programme covers a yacht's entire life cycle, from design through daily operation, and the strongest entries are considered for the Blue Wake Awards, presented on the Grand Opening Night. In a sector long accused of green claims that evaporate under scrutiny, a verified benchmark is worth more than a slogan.

GETTING AROUND The site is compact but the distances between docks are real, and the show moves visitors without fuss. Electric golf carts shuttle between exhibition areas, free to everyone, courtesy of The Italian Sea Group. Shuttle boats run to the various docks, provided by Only Yacht. Courtesy cars connect the show to the wider Principality, though these are reserved for VIP, Prestige VIP, Exhibitor Guest and Yacht Owner passes. Services run from 10:00 to 18:30, closing half an hour earlier on Saturday. For those staying longer, the Upper Deck Lounge on Boulevard Albert Ier and a dedicated Captains and Crew Lounge give the two ends of the industry - the buyers above deck and the people who run the boats below - their own ground.

LOOKING AHEAD The parallel Monaco Yacht Summit runs its conferences and roundtables through the four days, reading the market for owners and their advisers.

And the organisers have already set the next marker: The Future of Refit arrives in 2027, a signal that the industry's attention is turning from what is built to what is kept and renewed.

When the barriers come down on Saturday evening and the fleet slips its lines, the figures will be totted up and the deals counted. The harbour, for another year, will go back to being a harbour.

MANHATTAN MAKES WAVES

Sunseeker’s newest arrival did not slip quietly into the water. It entered the scene in a burst of colour, framed by confetti, sunlight and the kind of collective pride that only a major launch can summon. The first Manhattan 94 then carried that momentum on to its public debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival.

There is something irresistible about a launch photograph when it catches the exact split second a yacht stops being a project and becomes a presence. In Sunseeker’s case, the first Manhattan 94 arrived in suitably dramatic fashion: the sharp line of the bow, the shower of confetti, the sense of release after months of labour. It is easy to talk about product strategy; harder, and more interesting, to talk about emotion. Yet this launch had plenty of it.

Employees gathered waterside to watch that transformation unfold, from engineers and electricians to carpenters and interior specialists, all seeing their work assume its final form. The mood was celebratory, though with that unmistakable undercurrent of relief known to every shipyard when a flagship finally touches the water.

The yacht itself brings a fresh expression to the Manhattan line. The main deck is arranged around a penthouse-style saloon with floor-to-ceiling glazing and sliding starboard doors that open the interior to the sea. Forward sits a full-beam owner’s stateroom on the main deck, while four further guest cabins on the lower deck bring total accommodation to ten.

Performance is equally convincing. Power comes from twin MTU 10V 2000 M96L engines, or optional 12V 2000 M96X units, for speeds up to 26 knots. A tender garage for a Williams SportJet 395, optional Humphree stabilisers and Sunseeker’s X-TEND seating system complete a yacht clearly conceived for modern Mediterranean life.

Its public debut came at the Cannes Yachting Festival, where the Manhattan 94 led a nine-yacht display from the British builder. After an entrance like this, it would have been rude not to stare.

SILVER ON THE CLYDE

WHERE WOOD REMEMBERS

by Luca Marotta (in the spirit of the helm) The Firth of Clyde greets a man as the Atlantic greets a sailor: without ceremony, without mercy, and with that peculiar generosity reserved for those who come to her with humility. I write this from the afterdeck of Sonny, a wooden sloop conceived in 1935 by the hand of Olin Stephens, launched into a world already darkening toward war, and now, nine decades hence, carrying our young crew through Scottish waters that would be recognisable to her first builders in New York.

The weather here is not so much variable as theatrical.

One dawn breaks under a ceiling of iron-grey cloud, the wind tearing at the jib with the irritability of a living thing; the next, the same waters lie under a sky of such limpid blue that one might forget entirely the treachery beneath. We have learned not to trust either mood.

The Clyde does not forgive inattention. Her tides run swift and cold between wooded shores and sudden islands, and when the fog descends - as it did on the third morning, wrapping us in wool until the bowsprit dissolved into nothing - one understands why the men who built these waters into legend spoke of them with something approaching reverence.

Sonny is fifty-three feet of teak and memory. Her deck planks have known the press of sailors' boots across three generations. When the wind fills her sails - that particular moment, always, when the canvas cracks taut and the hull leans into its purpose - I feel the vibration travel up through the soles of my boots, through the small of my back, into the very rhythm of my breathing. The adrenaline arrives not as the sharp spike of danger but something steadier, more ancient: the body's recognition that it has joined itself to a

21

machine of wood and wind that demands everything and offers, in return, a kind of transcendence.

My arms ache. The veins stand proud beneath sundarkened skin, pulsing with exertion and cold and that peculiar intensity of concentration that racing demands.

We are, I am told, the youngest crew in this regatta.

I do not know if this is blessing or burden. The older crews move with the economy of long practice; we compensate with ferocity, with the willingness to throw our weight against a winch until the muscles scream and then to throw it again. On Sonny, there is no place for the half-committed.

The sea here is not Mediterranean blue. It is grey-green, flecked with white when the wind rises, and when the bow cuts through it the spray comes cold and stinging and alive with salt. I have tasted it on my lips for days now. It has become part of the vocabulary of this voyage, as necessary as the technical language of sheets and halyards and points of sail.

The Richard Mille Cup understands something essential about luxury that escapes those who calculate only in column inches and brand impressions. The yachts gathered here - Atlantic, Elena, the magnificent Mariquita - represent the finest expressions of naval architecture ever conceived, yet this remains, above all, a gathering of conviction. Richard Mille, as a house, has built its reputation not upon the arithmetic of visibility but upon the algebra of emotion.

22

They understand that a timepiece, like a racing yacht, must earn its place not through assertion but through the deeper mathematics of craft, endurance, and the willingness to risk everything upon a single perfect moment. It is a luxury founded upon feeling, upon the recognition that the finest things in this world are those which make the heart beat faster for reasons that defy spreadsheet analysis. They have grown precisely because they have never confused the metric with the meaning.

There were evenings. There are always evenings in such events, and they matter as much as the racing itself. At Culzean Castle, that Robert Adam masterpiece suspended above the water, we gathered with crews from a dozen nations and spoke a common language of salt and cordage. At Kelburn Castle, the cèilidh reduced even the most reserved among us to something approaching abandon. And the final cruise aboard The Waverley, that last seagoing paddle steamer, accompanied by the towering schooners Atlantic and Elena - there was something in that procession that approached the ceremonial, as though we were not merely competitors but participants in a rite older than any of us.

The final race. I will not describe the tactics; they belong to another kind of narrative. What I will describe is the moment we crossed the line: the sails still full, the crew still singing out numbers and adjustments with the automatism of exhaustion, and then - silence. The kind of silence that follows not emptiness but completion. We had won not merely our class but the overall trophy, that solid silver cup crafted by Garrard, the same house that fashioned the Crown Jewels themselves. A young crew, in a ninety-year-old boat, on waters that have tested sailors since the age of sail began.

I stood at the rail as we made our way toward Ardgowan House for the prizegiving, the Clyde darkening toward evening, the wooded shores slipping past in their ancient indifference. My arms still throbbed. The salt still dried upon my skin. And I understood, with the clarity that comes only after genuine effort, that we had not merely won a race. We had, for a handful of days, joined ourselves to something that does not age: the conversation between human ambition and the wild, ungovernable world.

Sonny leans into the wind. She always has. She always will. And those of us fortunate enough to crew her carry something now that no calculation can measure and no photograph quite captures - the particular, irreducible knowledge of what it means to be young, and exhausted, and entirely, perfectly alive.

MINDFUL CAREER WHEN THE WIND TURNS by @Manuela_Schinaia_Coach

Certified Strategic Coach and AICP member, Manuela Schinaia spent 25 years in international strategic marketing in Monaco before transforming her own career. Today she supports professionals, leaders and teams navigating change.

Her work includes individual coaching journeys focused on career choices and transitions, experiential corporate training, team development, and the design and facilitation of retreats for both individuals and organisations.

Through Strategic Symbolic Integration™ (SSI), she combines strategic coaching with work on symbols and archetypes, bringing together strategic rigour, intuition and a deeply human perspective.

She helps people and teams reveal the invisible dynamics that keep them stuck, turning awareness into concrete choices and sustainable action. She works across Monaco, France and Italy.

Picture this: the wind changes, the sail snaps, the boat tilts. One sailor pulls, another shouts, a third freezes.

And nobody says, “Sorry, not my department.”

Now move the scene indoors. Monday morning.

A deadline shifts, the client wants the impossible and a new “urgent” request lands in everyone’s inbox.

One person takes over, one goes silent, another suggests a meeting about the meeting.

Same storm. Just with coffee.

When I work with professionals in team-building sessions, I watch what happens between people when the wind turns.

Because a great team is not created simply by bringing talented people together - just as a winning crew is not created simply by putting skilled sailors on the same boat.

What makes the difference is the invisible choreography between them. Who listens before reacting? Who notices that a colleague is struggling?

Who makes space? Who asks for help?

And who keeps pulling the same rope simply because it is the rope they have always pulled?

What I often discover is that the problem everyone attributes to one person is being produced by the whole dance. The impatient colleague speeds up because others hesitate; they hesitate because that colleague takes over. Change one step and the entire choreography shifts. Nobody needs to be “fixed”.

The relationship needs more awareness - and sometimes, mercifully, one less meeting.

This is where intuition, empathy and compassion become practical skills. Intuition catches what has not been said. Empathy looks beyond a difficult behaviour. Compassion allows us to name a problem without immediately needing a villain.

Meaningful team building is not about manufacturing perfect harmony - or surviving an afternoon of suspiciously enthusiastic icebreakers.

It gives a team the chance to see its habits in action and try a different move.

The wind will change. It always does.

The strongest crews do not try to control it.

They feel it, communicate and adjust together.

At sea, that can win a race.

At work, it can save a project - and possibly everyone’s Monday.

WHEN SLOW YACHTING

GOES RACING

Sunreef Yachts and Brabus are rewriting the rules of luxury catamaran design with the new Brabus Ultima 55, a 17-metre high-performance multihull that brings together two seemingly distant worlds: the relaxed, expansive character traditionally associated with catamaran cruising and the unmistakable racing attitude of Brabus.

The result is a yacht conceived less as a floating retreat and more as a machine designed to deliver an entirely different sensation at sea. Twin six-cylinder engines, each producing 533 kW (725 hp), propel the Ultima 55 to a top speed of more than 40 knots. Beneath the surface, an advanced hydrofoil system generates lift, reducing hydrodynamic drag and raising the hulls higher above the water. The result is greater efficiency, virtually zero heel and an exceptionally smooth, agile ride.

Measuring 55.8 feet in length and 18.4 feet in beam, the Ultima 55 also retains one of the fundamental advantages of the multihull concept: generous living space. Its folding lateral platforms increase the beam to 24.9 feet when deployed, transforming the aft deck into an expansive open-air environment.

But it is the styling that makes the collaboration immediately recognisable. Exposed carbon fibre, illuminated Brabus logos, sculpted wings and Graphite Black or Phantom Grey finishes give the exterior the visual language of a high-performance automotive machine. Inside, Brabus Masterpiece leather, Alcantara, carbon fibre and the signature Triangle stitching continue the supercar-inspired aesthetic.

Accommodation is equally flexible, with a choice of layouts for four or six guests, plus crew. Yet the defining quality of the Ultima 55 lies elsewhere: it challenges the conventional idea that a catamaran must choose between comfort and performance.

With Sunreef’s multihull expertise and Brabus' obsession with speed, design and attitude, the Ultima 55 turns the catamaran into something considerably more dynamic - a luxury yacht with the soul of a racing machine.

TROPEZ, TANNED, TIMELESS A GLAMOROUS RIVIERA WEEKEND AFLOAT

© courtesy of MBS

27

Riva knows exactly what it is doing. While other luxury events chase relevance with ever louder activations, increasingly tortured concepts and a suspicious number of branded smoothies, Riva Raduni 2026 did something much smarter: it leaned into fantasy. Not the silly sort, but the high-gloss Riviera dream that Riva has practically patented - polished mahogany, sun-struck chrome, Saint-Tropez at its most mythic, and a crowd quite willing to dress for the part.

Hosted by Monaco Boat Service, the exclusive Riva dealer for Monaco and France, this 16th edition of the gathering brought together 22 remarkable Riva boats and their owners for two impeccably staged days between Monaco and Saint-Tropez. If that sounds niche, it is.

If it sounds fabulous, even better. This year’s theme - Saint-Tropez - Les Annees de BB - paid tribute to Brigitte Bardot, which is to say to an entire visual language of French Riviera glamour: tousled hair, insouciant sensuality, capri pants, knowing eyeliner, and the kind of nonchalance that probably takes a full team to achieve. One imagines Bardot herself might have approved, or at the very least appreciated the effort.

The weekend began at Monaco Boat Service with a welcome breakfast and briefing in the famous Riva Tunnel before the fleet departed for the regularity race to Saint-Tropez. The line-up was its own floating timeline of taste, ranging from legendary classics such as the Super Ariston to newer icons like the Riva 88' Folgore. Over six decades of design history, all gleaming and all entirely unbothered by trend cycles.

Lunch at La Serena on Pampelonne Beach gave the affair exactly the right note of Riviera ease, before the mood shifted into full cinematic escapism for the evening. On the Digue of Saint-Tropez, guests stepped into a recreation of the village as it might have appeared in the 1960s, complete with dancers, music and vintage-inspired performances.

Everyone understood the assignment. Fashion, for once, was not merely adjacent to the event; it was part of the engineering.

Saturday’s Elegance Contest took the theme further, with crews interpreting Bardot’s world through wardrobe, hair, accessories, music and on-board decoration. It could all have tipped into parody, but Riva’s crowd has the one quality that saves these things: commitment. The parade through the Port of Saint-Tropez drew the usual admiration, proving that even in an age of algorithmic attention spans, beautiful boats still stop people in their tracks.

The Riva 88' Folgore won the 2026 Regularity Race and took home the event’s top honour, with F.P. Journe marking a decade as sponsor by awarding two exclusive aquamarine-coloured Elegante timepieces engraved Riva Trophy 2026. Meanwhile, the Riva 63' Virtus won the Elegance Contest for its sharp interpretation of the brief.

There are yachting events, and then there is Riva Raduni: less regatta, more beautifully choreographed state of mind. On the Riviera, that still counts for everything.

SPACE, REIMAGINED

THE YOT53 ARRIVES

The YOT53, unveiled this week at the Cannes Yachting Festival, marks a genuine departure - a recalibration of what a fifty-three-foot power catamaran can offer.

The arithmetic is simple, the implication profound: forty percent more living space than comparable monohulls.

Yet numbers scarcely capture the sensation of stepping aboard. The twin-hull architecture, developed by Catana Group from four decades of multihull expertise, expands volume while fundamentally changing how that volume is experienced. Movement becomes fluid. Boundaries between interior and exterior dissolve. The yacht breathes.

Aft, a tilting transom door erases the separation between saloon and sea. Opening side platforms descend to water level, transforming the stern into a private beach club. Above, the rooftop helm station combines dining, outdoor galley, sunning areas and three-hundred-andsixty-degree visibility into what may be the largest outdoor living space in this category. One navigates from here, certainly, though the sensation leans closer to inhabiting the horizon itself.

Forward, the owner's suite commands the full beam - a configuration one expects aboard vessels exceeding one hundred feet, not here. Direct access to a private terrace completes the illusion of a floating residence rather than a cruising yacht. The U-shaped galley, positioned forward rather than aft, liberates the cockpit entirely, creating uninterrupted entertaining spaces that flow toward the stern without the usual obstruction of cabinetry and appliances.

The engineering beneath this spatial generosity merits equal attention. Twin Yanmar engines - available in 440 or 550 horsepower configurations - propel the YOT53 at a cruising speed of fifteen to eighteen knots with remarkable fuel efficiency. But it is the stability that distinguishes her. The catamaran platform, inherently resistant to rolling, transforms passage-making from endurance into pleasure. Seas that would demand constant compensation aboard a conventional hull

29 We have created a yacht that offers more space, more comfort and a permanent connection with the sea.

The YOT53 perfectly embodies our vision of a new generation of power catamarans.

Boris Compagnon Marketing & Sales Director Catana Group

become, here, texture rather than trial.

Catana Group brings to this project the accumulated knowledge of over fourteen hundred employees across five production facilities in France, Portugal and Tunisia.

The YOT53 emerges from their Aveiro yard, built to standards refined through decades of oceangoing catamaran construction. J&J Design has shaped the aesthetics - contemporary, restrained, confident - while the builder's expertise ensures that beauty does not compromise seaworthiness.

Available in three- or four-cabin configurations, the YOT53 accommodates extended cruising with family and friends without the usual compromises of space, privacy or storage. Generous tankage and provisioning capacity extend autonomy; thoughtful circulation paths preserve both conviviality and retreat.

What Catana Group has achieved here reaches beyond

technical accomplishment. They have questioned a fundamental assumption: that luxury yachting requires ever-increasing length. The YOT53 proposes instead that intelligent architecture, deployed with precision, delivers experiences that larger, less considered vessels cannot match. Space, properly conceived, becomes the ultimate luxury.

The Cannes premiere marks the beginning of a new chapter for YOT Power Catamarans - their first inboardpowered model, and a statement of intent. In a market often driven by incremental improvement, the YOT53 offers something rarer: a genuinely new proposition, rooted in experience but unburdened by convention.

For those who understand that the finest cruising is measured not in miles logged but in moments fully inhabited, this yacht demands attention. The sea, after all, has always offered infinite space. Finally, a vessel has been built to match it.

LÜRSSEN

A YEAR WITHOUT LIMITS There are years that mark a company’s progress, and years that reveal what it is truly capable of.

For Lürssen, 2026 belongs firmly to the second category.

Six new yachts – Odisea, Deep Blue, Boardwalk, O3, Nausicaä and Nixie – have emerged from the German shipyard this year, each now following its own course across the world’s oceans. Together, they offer a fascinating portrait of how different a yacht can become when the starting point is an Owner’s vision rather than a predetermined style.

Lürssen now counts over 30 yachts above 100 metres in operation, with the builder responsible for over a third of the world’s 100 largest yachts.

Such figures place the yard in a league of its own. Yet its real strength lies elsewhere: in the freedom to approach every project as a blank canvas.

The contrast between this year’s deliveries is striking. Nixie, which will be presented at the Monaco Yacht Show, brings together a six-metre-wide aft pool, a 270-square-metre beach club and hybrid diesel-electric propulsion. Odisea takes a radically different approach, replacing the traditional main salon with a glass-enclosed Beach House that brings the sea directly into the living experience.

Nausicaä pushes architectural experimentation further, with an expansive glass ribbon surrounding the guest deck and a dramatic Skydome.

Boardwalk, by comparison, adopts a more classical character, concealing sophisticated solutions beneath a deliberately restrained exterior.

Odisea ©RubenGriffioen

31

Perhaps this is the most revealing aspect of Lürssen’s 2026: six yachts, six personalities, and no single formula. In a world increasingly shaped by recognisable signatures, the ultimate luxury may simply be the freedom to create something entirely your own.

Boardwalk ©RubenGriffioen

O3 has been conceived for long-range exploration, combining serious expedition capability with the comforts of a private residence at sea.

Across the six yachts, advances in battery technology, propulsion and onboard systems reveal another constant: the willingness to engineer solutions around individual requirements, however demanding.

Behind these highly visible creations lies an extraordinary human effort. Each yacht represents around four years of planning, craftsmanship and project management, involving hundreds of thousands of hours of work.

CALA DEL FORTE

MONACO'S 3RD PORT, IN THE HEART OF THE ITALIAN RIVIERA

by Luca Marotta Ventimiglia, beneath the promontory of the Forte dell'Annunziata, has found in its harbour a new reason to shine.

Cala del Forte is not merely a marina of excellence: it is the result of a strategic vision that has succeeded in combining international ambition with local roots. Owned by the Ports of Monaco, it is in every respect the Principality's third port, even though its waters lap the Ligurian coast.

A decisive figure has guided this venture from the very beginning: Gian Battista Borea d'Olmo, then General Manager of the Ports of Monaco and Managing Director of Cala del Forte. It was his great intuition to imagine a harbour capable of meeting the demands of international yachting, whilst at the same time integrating with the urban fabric of Ventimiglia and actively contributing to its regeneration.

A project that did not look merely to the immediate future,

but aimed to build a bridge - indeed, a port - between two geographically close and culturally complementary realities.

The acquisition of the site by the Ports of Monaco opened up an entirely new perspective. While Monaco addressed its own needs for nautical hospitality, expanding its capacity beyond the Principality's borders, Ventimiglia found itself benefiting from an investment of international scale, capable

33

of generating significant economic, social and urban returns.

A virtuous example of how cross-border collaboration can transform a logistical challenge into a shared opportunity.

The construction of Cala del Forte followed rigorous standards, inspired by Monegasque excellence. Every detail - from the maritime works to the port infrastructure, from the service buildings to the pontoons - was designed to offer quality to seafarers whilst at the same time giving value back to the city. Attention was not limited to the physical structure: in parallel, an organisation was built, selecting and training staff to the standards of the Ports of Monaco.

Cala del Forte is certainly a haven for yachts and superyachts, but it is also a genuine engine of development for Ventimiglia, a pole of attraction that has redrawn the face of the city's waterfront. The port has managed to integrate with the territory in an organic way, creating employment opportunities, commercial appeal and new flows of visitors.

Among the most significant works for the local community stands the inauguration, in 2022, of a modern vertical lift that connects the marina directly to the historic centre of Ventimiglia Alta. In just forty seconds, residents and visitors can reach the ancient heart of the city, opening a new era for pedestrian mobility and accessibility. To this are added the 582 parking spaces at Cala del Forte, fully operational

and open to the public, which have helped to deconges the historic centre and improve the usability of the entire area.

The economic impact extends well beyond the port's boundaries. Commercial activities - restaurants, shops, services - have found in Cala del Forte a stimulating environment, whilst the city has seen its tourist and residential appeal grow. The port has become a destination in its own right, a place to spend a day, go shopping, dine or simply stroll along the 15,000 square metres of promenade and gardens.

Since 2024, moreover, Cala del Forte has become the first border entry point from the west in Liguria and in Italy for owners, vessels and extra-Schengen crews. The Border Police office directly in the port guarantees security and compliance with European regulations, strengthening the marina's strategic role in the western Mediterranean port system.

Today, nine years after its acquisition by the Ports of Monaco, the project continues to evolve. The vision that inspired its birth remains unchanged: an international port integrated with Ventimiglia and its territory, capable of consolidating a relationship with the Principality that goes far beyond the ownership structure. It is a story of shared strategy, common perspective, of excellence meeting hospitality, style and the quality of Made in Italy.

ALECO KEUSSEOGLOU PRESIDENT OF THE PORTS OF MONACO "Vision, strategy and the yachtsman's perspective".

In 2013, Monaco’s port facilities had reached capacity.

What led the Ports of Monaco to expand beyond the Principality, and what role does Cala del Forte play?

By 2013, Monaco’s port was already saturated, creating a challenge for the Principality’s appeal as a yachting destination. We were having to turn down many berthing requests from residents. We therefore began looking for solutions in the surrounding French territory.

What makes Cala del Forte distinctive from other Mediterranean marinas?

Without wishing to sound elitist, Cala del Forte has a very distinctive character. It is a small, intimate marina, yet extremely well organised, offering a comprehensive range of high-quality services.

The team also regularly organises events for both yacht owners and crews, creating a real sense of community.

In many ways, it is a small city within a city.

Interestingly, some clients now actually prefer to stay at Cala del Forte rather than in Monaco itself. This says a great deal about the atmosphere and the level of service the marina has developed.

What are the main challenges facing Monaco’s port

system, and how will Cala del Forte contribute to its future?

The main challenge remains the same: we still need more space. For this reason, we will participate in the tender process for the port of Cap d’Ail. We are also involved in consultancy projects for other developments across the Mediterranean.

Our guiding principle, however, is that any new opportunity must be complementary to Monaco and strengthen the overall attractiveness of the Principality as a yachting destination.

There is another priority that I would particularly like to emphasise: the environment. This is a clear direction established by H.S.H. Prince Albert II, and we are committed to making our ports as environmentally responsible as possible.

For example, we support the Sea Index initiative, which gives priority access to vessels that perform best against its environmental criteria.

At the next Monaco Grand Prix, in the bay, the Government will install nine permanent mooring points, that Monaco Ports will operate. These will allow yachts to berth without dropping anchor, helping to protect the seabed.

For us, this environmental commitment is fundamental.

The future of yachting must be closely linked to the protection of the marine environment, and this principle is becoming an increasingly important part of the way we manage and develop our ports.

35 OLIVIER LAVAGNA GENERAL MANAGER OF THE PORTS OF MONACO "Innovation, customer experience, and the future".

How do Port Hercule, Fontvieille and Cala del Forte work together?

Monaco does not have enough berths for all the yachts owned

by Monegasque residents. Cala del Forte has allowed us to almost double the number of berths available for vessels between 25 and 70 metres, just a few nautical miles from Monte Carlo.

If an owner gives us sufficient notice, we can arrange for their yacht to arrive in Monaco in time for their departure. It requires a certain amount of organisational balancing, but thanks to Cala del Forte, we are now able to offer this service.

What do yacht owners and crews expect from a leading marina today?

Fundamentally, owners want solutions, not problems. The most important thing for us is to listen carefully, understand their needs and, whenever possible, anticipate their requests or respond to them quickly.

Crews are equally important. They are made up of individuals with their own needs, so dedicated services matter. Cala del Forte offers facilities such as a gym, as well as a good selection of cafés, restaurants and other venues that make life more enjoyable for crew members.

These details can influence a captain when recommending a marina to an owner.

The great strength of the Port of Monaco is, of course, Monaco itself. In Ventimiglia, we naturally needed to create a marina that could offer a similarly complete experience in its own right.

How important is innovation in maintaining Monaco’s position as a leading yachting destination?

Innovation is extremely important, and sometimes it means surprising people with something they do not expect.

During the Monaco Grand Prix, for example, we welcome more than 100 yachts, but only around a quarter could secure a berth with a direct view of the circuit. This led us to create the floating grandstand, allowing 400 clients to watch the race from the water rather than from a television on board their yacht.

The service was also made available to clients of Cala del Forte, extending the experience across the two locations.

Another essential service is Monaco One, our shuttle boat connecting the different Ports of Monaco and providing a convenient transfer service for port clients.

For us, innovation is about finding practical ways to improve the experience, whether through new services, better connections between our marinas or ideas that create an entirely different way of enjoying major events.

The objective is always the same: to make the experience as seamless as possible for owners, guests and crews, while ensuring that the different ports work together as a coherent and complementary network.

MARCO CORNACCHIA CEO CALA DEL FORTE "The port as a destination, the services, the future".

What was your vision for Cala del Forte when you joined the project in 2018?

Our objective from the beginning was to make Cala del Forte a destination for people arriving by land as well as by sea.

We knew that Ventimiglia was already very popular with French visitors, but we also wanted to attract people from Sanremo, the surrounding area and further afield, including Cuneo and the wider Piedmont region.

Today, we are pleased to see that the marina has become a place people choose to visit and spend time in, rather than simply somewhere to berth a yacht. This was precisely the transformation we wanted to achieve.

Cala del Forte offers an exceptionally broad range of services. What does the current demand tell you about the marina?

The waiting list across all classes of vessel is certainly a source of great pride. It shows that we have achieved the objectives we set ourselves, particularly on the nautical side of the project.

Yacht owners are also spending increasingly more time at the marina. They particularly appreciate its tranquillity and security, and we are seeing them choose to stay for longer periods.

However, having a long waiting list does not mean that the work is finished. Quite the opposite. We must continue to maintain and improve our level of service.

That is our primary objective for the future.

The quality of the experience must remain at the heart of everything we do, both for yacht owners and for visitors arriving from land.

What are your plans for the future of Cala del Forte?

We have several projects in development, with the aim of making the existing structure even more welcoming.

One of the projects currently being studied is the installation of photovoltaic panels over the car park.

This would improve the efficiency of the site while contributing to our environmental objectives.

We are also looking at the aesthetic and cultural dimension of the marina. We would like to introduce significant works of art within the port and its gardens, transforming these spaces into places where visitors can experience culture and take a moment to pause and reflect.

37 Green spaces will also continue to play an important role. We want to increase the amount of greenery throughout the marina because vegetation helps to cool the environment and makes the entire port more pleasant and welcoming.

Our ambition is therefore to continue developing Cala del Forte while preserving the qualities that have made it successful: tranquillity, security, service and an attractive environment.

BEST-IN-CLASS FACILITIES Cala del Forte stands apart for teh exceptional quality and breadth of its facilities, offering a level of service rarely matched by marinas elsewhere in the Mediterranean.

METEORA

ART FINDS A HARBOUR AT CALA DEL FORTE

verteramo-artdesigner.it

Cala del Forte's ambition to become an increasingly welcoming place, permeated by beauty and culture, is taking tangible form. The marina's artistic journey begins with Meteora, a monumental bronze garden sculpture by Italian artist and art designer Roberta Verteramo, installed at the initiative of Luca Marotta and Force One. Measuring approximately 160 centimetres in diameter and 90.1 centimetres in height, and weighing 250 kilograms, Meteora possesses a powerful physical presence. Yet its monumentality is balanced by a reflective surface that draws its surroundings into the work. The observer's image appears transformed and inverted, prompting a shift in perspective: an invitation to reconsider how we see ourselves, others and the world around us.

For Verteramo, monumental art is "an act of inner expansion": a silent dialogue in which the separation between observer and observed dissolves. Like the moon returning its mysterious light, Meteora becomes a mirror of human presence and a reminder that nothing exists in isolation. In an age of rapid change, the sculpture asks visitors to pause, acknowledge the mystery within everyday life and rediscover the connections that unite us.

This contemplative dimension is central to Verteramo's practice. Her work moves freely between sculpture, painting, fashion, jewellery, performance and design. "Art-design is free; it is not confined to a box," she explains. Her creations are intended not only to be seen, but also to be experienced physically, combining sensory presence with both contemplative and functional value.

That fluid approach has established a natural connection with the yachting world. Alongside monumental works, Verteramo creates collectible art-design objects that have already found their place aboard several yachts, where art, architecture and daily life coexist within intimate spaces.

With Meteora, Cala del Forte opens a new chapter. This first installation represents an elegant addition to the marina's gardens, but more than that, it is the starting point of a wider cultural vision: a port where art enriches the landscape, encourages reflection and makes every arrival more memorable.

MEMORY AND FUTURE

OVER A CENTURY OF ITALIAN ART IN DIALOGUE WITH CHINA

by Daniele Crippa

An exhibition in Beijing celebrates Italian art and its enduring dialogue with China, linking memory, tradition, and contemporary creative research.

On the occasion of the inauguration, the Italian Ambassador to Beijing, H.E. Massimo Ambrosetti, underlined how: “The title of the exhibition - Memory and Future - captures a theme dear to both Italian and Chinese culture. Both are heirs to millenary traditions which remain current and living sources of inspiration in contemporary forms of expression. I am therefore especially pleased that today’s inauguration continues to celebrate the strong and rich cultural bond between Italy and China.” Bearing these words in mind, before attempting to give a full account of this important initiative, I made my way into 798 - the artistic district of Beijing - born in 2014 after intense political debate. This former industrial area, built in the 1950s according to a concept of functionality dear to the Bauhaus, began to welcome the artistic community of this immense city. During the 2008 Olympic Games, the urban development of this vast 6,400,000-square-metre space was completed. Today it is the hub of dozens upon dozens of contemporary art galleries. Extremely lively and very popular both with Chinese citizens and with the many tourists, it enthusiastically offers works by artists active across the immensity of this fascinating territory, so full of significance.

It is stimulating and illuminating for understanding their artistic ferment. The only reservation, for now, is that no gallery has yet opened itself to presenting the new tendencies emerging in the rest of the globe. One may hope that such an opening will come about, not least because the great success achieved - beyond all expectations - by the exhibition on Italian art among the city’s public is an important sign of this. The Guardian Art Center hosts an excursus spanning more than a century of research devoted to modern and contemporary Italian art. Nearly one hundred works offer a comprehensive reflection of what has emerged in our country from the early twentieth century to the twenty-first century and this is undoubtedly one of the most interesting cultural projects realised in Beijing in recent years.

The 55th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Italy and China provided precisely the occasion for presenting Memory and Future. Contemporary Italian Art. Organised by the Beijing Guardian Art Center and the Associazione Nuova Artemarea ETS, under the patronage of the Italy China Foundation and with the support of the Embassy of Italy in Beijing, the Italian Cultural Institute in Beijing and MU-PA - Museo del Parco di Portofino, the exhibition represents a further stage in a path of cultural collaboration developed in recent years between the two countries.

The project is directed by Guicciardo Sassoli de' Bianchi Strozzi, while the curatorial and scientific committee is composed of Daniele Crippa, Manuela Valentini, Ren Jingge and Giorgia Cestaro.

Its guiding thread is that, thanks to the heritage of the past, new forms of artistic research come into being in the present. Tradition regenerates itself in the present day, and this is a concept present and demonstrated in both cultures, that of the guests and that of the host country. To underscore this liaison, I strongly recommend to everyone a careful and lengthy visit to District 798.

Beginning with Giorgio Morandi, Lucio Fontana, Michelangelo Pistoletto and Arnaldo Pomodoro, protagonists of our twentieth century, the works on display unfold before the public through pieces by the masters of Arte Povera, the Transavanguardia, Pittura Analitica and Arte Madi, leading on to figures of our contemporary scene. Here are works by Giorgio Griffa, Enzo Cacciola, Jannis Kounellis, Sandro Chia, Francesco Clemente, Fabio Mauri, Omar Galliani, Carla Tolomeo, Mimmo Paladino and Bruno Ceccobelli. Some of the works presented here - including those by Fontana, Pomodoro, Pistoletto, Mascia, Bricalli, Tolomeo and

43

Ceccobelli - underline the dense network of cultural relationships which over time arose between the artists hosted at the Galleria Civica di Portofino and the MuPa - Museo del Parco di Portofino. The various sections analyse the birth of this ongoing evolutionary process, rich in new visual languages, as seen in the works of Daniele Sigalot, Luca Caccioni and Tommaso Cascella, artists belonging to our most recent generations.

A century of Italian art presented through six sections in a space of more than one thousand square metres located in the centre of the capital is a source of pride. Also of interest is the presence here of artists who have divided their lives between the two nations: Carlo Alberto Lucioni and Zhou Zhiwei, who in their works have succeeded in blending elements of both cultures. Praise is also due to the important initiative promoted by the Embassy of Italy and the Italian Cultural Institute in Beijing: Residenze Sviluppi del Contemporaneo, through which the artists, thanks to direct experience on site and by living within the cultural moment of today’s China, created their works. On display here are works by Enzo Cacciola, Vincenzo Mascia, Luca Pozzi, Matteo Basile, Davide Bramante, Flavio Favelli, Davide Sebastian and Daniele Sigalot.

The year 2026 is full of important initiatives dedicated both to architecture and to Italian art, and Memory and Future underlines this privileged affinity between these two millenary cultures which, from Marco Polo onwards, have admired and esteemed one another.

RARE JEWELS SHINE

Shanghai is about to host one of the most dazzling jewellery exhibitions the city has ever seen, as Harry Winston, the legendary Maison known as the "King of Diamonds," unveils "Rare Jewels of the World."

Running from 7 to 13 September at the Shanghai Exhibition Centre, this spectacular showcase brings together more than 165 iconic pieces of High Jewellery and Haute Horlogerie, many displayed for the very first time.

Visitors will wander through ten breathtakingly staged galleries tracing the Maison's history, from Harry Winston's earliest days to his most astonishing contemporary creations. Nearly a century of dazzling

craftsmanship unfolds across these spaces, each one a chapter of a story as extraordinary as the gems themselves.

The Heritage Gallery offers a moving glimpse into Mr Winston's life through previously unseen images and footage, while the Vintage Gallery presents magnificent archival treasures rarely glimpsed by the public. A gallery devoted entirely to Harry Winston's relationship with China celebrates a bond spanning decades - 2026 marks thirty years since the Maison's first exhibition at the Palace Museum, within Beijing's Forbidden City, a milestone worth savouring.

Further galleries reveal the House's unmistakable stylistic signature, including the evolution of the celebrated Winston Cluster, alongside the

harrywinston.com

extraordinary savoir-faire and diamond creations designed to mark life's most precious moments.

An enchanting interactive walk through Central Park then leads visitors toward two stunning High Jewellery galleries, home to a remarkable array of one-of-a-kind pieces that pay tribute to New York, the city where it all began.

At the very heart of the exhibition sits the astonishing Winston Pink Legacy, a diamond intimately woven into the Maison's own story. Weighing 18.96 carats, a number echoing Mr Winston's birth year, this Fancy Vivid pink diamond ranks among the most extraordinary stones on Earth. Its Shanghai debut marks a genuinely momentous occasion for the House.

Equally spellbinding is the Rockefeller-Winston emerald, a gem once owned by the storied Rockefeller family.

Weighing 18.03 carats, it has been transformed by Harry Winston's artisans into a magnificent ring bearing the Maison's signature style, delicately accented with diamonds - a marriage of history and artistry that leaves visitors utterly captivated.

"Rare Jewels of the World" is an exhibition embodying rarity, beauty and exceptional craftsmanship, reflecting the exacting eye and relentless pursuit of excellence that have defined Harry Winston for over ninety years. It promises an unforgettable, sumptuous journey through one of jewellery's most storied legacies.

THE MODERN

TRAVELLER

by Dafne Funeck Contemporary travellers, lovers of beauty and forever in search of new experiences to be lived. From the thrill of driving the hairpin bends of some of Italy's most iconic landscapes at the wheel of a vintage car, the journey becomes a succession of experiences that bring together sport, culture and art de vivre.

Scenic routes, historic residences and exclusive gatherings punctuate a new idea of luxury, while fashion interprets its style through a wardrobe designed to accompany every moment.

Opening this calendar is the Louis Vuitton Dolomites Classic Run, a four-day itinerary that crosses Venice and the Dolomiti before arriving in Monza, bringing back to life the spirit of the Grand Tour that, between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, led the European aristocracy to discover Italy through its art, landscape and culture.

The wardrobe reflects this spirit too. Pal Zileri's cold-season collection interprets the concept of Power Casual through a balance between heritage and contemporaneity.

Conceived to accompany men who move effortlessly between work, leisure and new destinations, it offers an essential wardrobe of outerwear, suits, jackets, trousers and knitwear designed to be combined and adapted to different settings. Rather than following a trend, the clothes shape themselves around the lifestyle of the wearer, becoming a natural extension of his personality.

The same language is found in Church's footwear, with suede derbies, Oxfords, Chelsea boots and penny loafers that interpret the taste of the contemporary gentleman.

On the wrist, Breitling's sports timepieces - linked to

LOUIS VUITTON

Aston Martin by a shared vision of precision and elegance - complete a world in which design and a passion for motoring sit together with ease.

Loro Piana's autumn/winter collection takes this idea towards an even more pared-back elegance. Fluid, unstructured silhouettes and iconic fabrics such as cashmere, tweed and wool reinterpret the Maison's heritage through a contemporary pragmatism, where comfort and refinement coexist naturally across city, leisure and travel.

Venice, the starting point of the Classic Run, becomes a place of discovery too. Coinciding with the Biennale, Palazzo Ca' Donà opens its doors exceptionally with ORBITA, transforming a private residence into a journey devoted to architecture, contemporary art and collectible design. It is an invitation to experience the city beyond the well-trodden routes, entering spaces that are normally off limits and rediscovering a cultural dimension that has always been one of the most authentic reasons to travel.

Fashion, too, continues to tell the stories of places that have helped to define the imagery of historic residences and university campuses. GANT celebrates its bond with Yale University, bringing the Ivy League aesthetic back to centre stage. Alongside this narrative, Brooks Brothers continues to interpret one of the most enduring codes of American style, with a wardrobe that combines sartorial tradition with contemporary ease. Oxford shirts, tweed blazers, varsity jackets and rugby sweaters express a language born on American campuses that has, over time, become one of the most recognisable codes of international style.

Travel thus becomes a way of living. Between craftsmanship, culture, design and savoir-faire, a portrait takes shape of a contemporary traveller who chooses authentic experiences and an elegance capable of accompanying him on every occasion.

THOMAS OTT

ON A LONELY ROAD all images courtesy of ©Louis Vuitton Foundation

by Keith Francis

THOMAS OTT ROUTE 66 - TRAVEL BOOK Publisher: Louis Vuitton Hardcover, 28 x 19 cm, 152 pages Year of publication: 2018 Price € 55

There is a particular kind of loneliness that belongs to the open road. It has little to do with being alone. On Route 66, Thomas Ott finds it in empty motels, deserted bars, faded signs and endless stretches of asphalt, but also in the presence of people who seem, somehow, to exist in separate worlds.

His Travel Book for Louis Vuitton is a journey through an America suspended between memory and disappearance.

Working in his distinctive scratchboard technique, Ott transforms the landscape into a world of deep blacks and fine lines, where light itself seems to struggle against the shadows. There are people in these drawings, yet they rarely seem to belong to one another. A couple at a bar, a solitary figure in a motel, strangers sharing the same

room: Ott captures those quiet moments when human presence can somehow make solitude even more palpable.

His Route 66 is therefore less a portrait of America than a meditation on distance - between people, between places, and between the present and a past that refuses to disappear completely.

Ott himself described the experience with disarming simplicity. Arriving at places celebrated by the guidebooks, he often found them deserted. “This is funny and it’s a little bit sad,” he observed. “You see a forgotten time.”

That forgotten time is perhaps the true subject of the book. The legendary road becomes a succession of fragments: fragments of lives, landscapes and dreams, slowly weathered by time. And in Ott’s hands, even the vast American sky carries a sense of melancholy.

THE ROME

EDITION

by Dafne Funeck The Rome Edition offers a fresh take on staying in the Eternal City. Created from Ian Schrager’s vision and developed by Gruppo Statuto, it occupies a rationalist building from the 1940s, restored with its original architectural features intact.

The result is a hotel where Rome’s architectural heritage meets a distinctly modern setting, with restaurants, bars and gardens designed as an integral part of the stay.

The seven-metre-high Lobby sets the tone. Rather than functioning simply as a reception area, it leads into a series of spaces made for spending time: the Jade Bar, Punch Room and the Garden, a leafy courtyard that brings greenery deep into the building. Each has its own atmosphere, creating a natural progression from cocktails to dining and outdoor relaxation.

At the centre of the culinary offering is Anima, the signature restaurant headed by Executive Chef Antonio Gentile. Its menu draws on the traditions of Rome and Naples, reworking familiar recipes through a modern approach. Seasonal produce and carefully sourced ingredients remain the focus, with dishes that balance Italian culinary memory with a lighter, more current sensibility.

The Lobby

Anima - The Blue Room

The open kitchen forms part of the dining room, surrounded by Chartreuse Verte and Yves Klein Blue furnishings and photographs evoking Rome during the Dolce Vita years. Beyond the restaurant, more than 400 plants fill the internal courtyard, creating a remarkably quiet corner in the middle of the city. The wine list moves through Italy’s principal regions alongside a selection of international producers.

On the seventh floor, The Roof provides a very different perspective on the city. The terrace takes in the Pantheon, Gianicolo, Fontana dell’Acqua Paola and Basilica di Sant’Andrea della Valle. Travertine, solid teak and large bronze and terracotta planters give the pool area a distinctly Roman-Mediterranean character.

The Roof’s kitchen remains open from lunch into the evening, with a menu built around fresh seasonal ingredients and Mediterranean flavours. Classic techniques take centre stage, while charcoal and livefire cooking become particularly prominent after dark.

The Roof

Whether settling beside the pool, eating outdoors or arriving for an aperitivo at sunset, The Roof adds another dimension to a stay at The Rome Edition: Rome itself becomes the backdrop.

PARIS IN THE FALL: DIVE IN THE FINEST LUXURY HOTEL POOLS & BARS

Shangri-La

Hotel de Crillon - Bar Les Ambassadeurs © Lauren Luxenberg

by Gina de Franco A magnificent swim in a luxury hotel pool before your big Paris day, followed by a splurge on a treatment in the hotel spa, can be the perfect tonic to elevate your mood and renew your spirit.

HÔTEL DE CRILLON The Golden Pool Some Paris addresses need no introduction. The Crillon, overlooking Place de la Concorde, is one of them.

But beneath all that grandeur is one of Paris's most beautiful hotel pools. At Sense, A Rosewood Spa, the intimate pool glows beneath natural light and thousands of shimmering golden scales. We experienced a wonderfully relaxing Massage & Spa for Two. Les Grands Appartements, the extraordinary Karl Lagerfeld-designed suites, are a Parisian haven.

Bar Les ambassadeurs Then there is Bar Les Ambassadeurs, where the junior fashionistas meet high society and the globetrotter longing for an original cocktail and live piano - something this bar does all too well.

Did I see it straight, or was that really Taylor Swift breezing through?

SHANGRI-LA PARIS The natural light pool There is something so chic, terribly grand and downright royal about swimming in a former royal residence.

Shangri-La Paris occupies the former home of Prince Roland Bonaparte, and its beautiful indoor pool sits where

horses once waited in the stables, ready to carry royalty into the city.

The elegant 17-metre pool is flooded with natural light and opens onto a private green terrace. Then there is the Kobido facial, known for its sculpting, rhythmic technique.

Le Bar Botaniste is my tête-à-tête spot, an intimate hideaway. The ShangriLa is just that: an ephemeral place you dreamed of, hoped for, perhaps imagined as impossible - your own Xanadu, your Rosebud, that beautiful place you somehow knew existed. And then, you are home. Shangri-La Paris.

LE BRISTOL PARIS The pool above Paris with Cole Porter in the clouds There are pools you swim in, and then there are a few pools that transform you.

Here, you view the Parisian skies from your own teak deck.

Designed by naval architect Cäsar Pinnau, the pool was conceived like the deck of a glamorous 1920s yacht.

Teak beneath your feet, blue water beside you, a trompel'œil stern completing the illusion, and above it all, a colorful macaw and butterflies fly by.

Was that Cole Porter’s Begin the Beguine drifting across the deck?

The Suite Eden opens onto 150 square metres of landscaped terrace, with its own outdoor spa, hammam, sauna and Jacuzzi. Step outside onto the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, surrounded by galleries, fashion houses and Parisian glamour.

THE PENINSULA PARIS The Grande Dame of pools Often called the Little Versailles, The Peninsula Paris redefines the art of service.

The 20-metre indoor pool, framed by marble, soft light and a dramatic cascade of water, was not simply my cooldown. It was a refuge.

Try the Signature Massage “Éveil de Jade,” a bespoke treatment inspired by Chinese medicine.

For the ultimate stay, The Peninsula Suite is 318 square metres - complete with triple salon, fireplace, grand piano, office and dining room.

Le Bar Kléber is a clubby enclave, intimate and completely charming. The bar was witness to the signing of the Vietnam Accords in 1973, and today remains a perfect hideaway for cocktails. Moments that elevate expectations, with service that subtly seduces and goes beyond.

SAINT JAMES PARIS HOTEL The secret rendez-vous Saint James Paris. The only château hotel in Paris!

Tucked behind its gates in the 16th arrondissement, this extraordinary setting feels protected from the city - and then, there is the pool.

The 15-metre pool sits beneath a glass roof, flooded with natural light. Alongside it is a 15-metre bas-relief by François Mascarello, while Greco-Roman making it feel like a private bath.

The Saint James is reminiscent of a glorious British estate or simply the very finest château hotel in Paris.

The Guerlain Spa, indoor pool and Library Bar feel ideal for a clandestine rendezvous - and luckily, the Library Bar offers an extraordinary quick-bites menu, ideal for postRoland Garros.

Bellefeuille, the Michelin-starred restaurant, is led by Chef Grégory Garimbay, who is known for visiting the hotel’s nearby private farms for his seasonal selections.

A glorious hideaway where you can be inside Paris while feeling wonderfully in the country. Perfect.

THE GRANDE DAME OF MONTE-CARLO GETS A SECOND ACT

by Olivia Rose A Riviera Reverie: Jacques Garcia Reawakens the Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo Some hotels are renovated. Others are gently coaxed back to their most beautiful selves.

At the Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo, the latter is unmistakably the case. Just steps from the fabled Casino, in the glittering heart of the Carré d'Or, the grande dame of the Riviera has unveiled a new collection of rooms and suites - and the man behind them is no stranger to the house.

Jacques Garcia, the interior architect affectionately known as the Magician of Atmospheres, first left his mark here back in 2004. Returning two decades on feels less like a commission and more like coming home. Across two floors, forty-five keys have been entirely reimagined, each a love letter to the Mediterranean: embroidered fabrics, softened neoclassical lines and patinated materials that whisper rather than shout.

villas of another era. The Deluxe Suites, meanwhile, stretch out generously: a separate sitting room, an adjoining bedroom, the whole thing quietly transforming into a private apartment made for lingering.

Throughout, the finishes are impeccably considered - Calacatta Borghini marble bars, lighting created just for these walls, natural materials layered with an easy, unforced confidence. It is timeless luxury, yes, but the kind you want to kick your shoes off in.

This is only the opening chapter.

The transformation will continue, floor by floor, room by room, in the same sun-warmed Mediterranean spirit - proof that the most storied addresses aren't the ones frozen in time, but the ones still quietly writing their next page.

The mood shifts as you climb. On the second floor, delicate blues and embroidered Colefax & Fowler wall coverings conjure a serene, salt-air calm. A floor above, everything turns golden - a warm nod to those honeyed Riviera afternoons when the light seems to slow the day right down.

The detailing is where Garcia truly plays. In the Junior Suites, a bespoke dressing table-cum-desk in Laurier-green Tassin leather and bleached ash pulls double duty, and - with a magician's flourish - conceals a sliding television. In the bathroom, a cast-iron Devon & Devon tub delivers proper retro-chic glamour, straight from the great Riviera

WELLNESS AS A WAY OF LIFE ALL YEAR ROUND AT LILY OF THE VALLEY

Just two hours from the Principality, on the Saint-Tropez peninsula, Lily of the Valley reveals itself 365 days a year through four bespoke programmes.

ARCHITECTURE BY PHILIPPE STARCK, IN HARMONY WITH ITS SURROUNDINGS A member of Leading Hotels of the World, Lily of the Valley opened in 2019 in La Croix-Valmer, at the heart of the Cap Lardier estate, a protected area overlooking the six kilometres of fine sandy beach at Gigaro.

Philippe Starck designed the architecture with one condition from the outset: that the hotel should remain invisible from the sea. Inspired by Provençal abbeys and Californian villas, he designed rooms, suites and villas ranging from 35 to 250 sq m, each extending onto a spacious private terrace. Polished marble sits alongside raw concrete, while exotic woods are paired with natural leather. A discreet expression of luxury, just minutes from the energy and excitement of Saint-Tropez.

ONE METHOD, THREE PILLARS What truly distinguishes Lily of the Valley are its programmes and its method, built around three inseparable pillars: treatments, sport, and healthy yet luxurious cuisine.

The nutritional approach was developed with nutritionist Jacques Fricker.

His philosophy? A non-restrictive approach that avoids frustration and therefore ensures lasting results.

The Shape Club supports guests who wish to follow the ‘Grande Vitesse’ phase of the TGV method: rapid weight loss based on a diet rich in protein and low in calories, without ever having to give up the pleasure of good food.

Here, gastronomy is not something to be endured.

Chef Vincent Maillard and his teams work with produce from the farm, mill and kitchen garden to create light Mediterranean cuisine that satisfies gourmets while reassuring those who take a more measured approach.

FOUR PROGRAMMES, ONE EXACTING STANDARD Four programmes structure the offering, available as 4-, 7-, 10- or 14-day stays.

The Better Aging programme embodies the house’s most contemporary vision: optimising longevity. An impedance analysis on arrival, a mobility assessment using Kinvent technology, targeted exercises focused on joint comfort and flexibility, lifting treatments and nutritional support come together in a protocol dedicated to slowing the effects of time.

The Detox programme invites guests to rethink their lifestyle through a lighter yet refined diet, free from gluten and lactose, combined with gentle exercise and a treatment protocol designed to promote relaxation.

The Weight Loss programme rigorously follows the Fricker method, with luxurious, low-calorie menus, a tailored fitness routine and treatments focused on body sculpting.

The Sport programme is aimed at those looking to push their limits: dedicated support, excursions and highintensity sessions, a bespoke meal plan and cryotherapy technologies to accelerate muscle recovery.

Beyond aesthetics, the benefits sought are clear: improved metabolic health, increased muscle strength, optimised sleep, better stress management and sustained energy. Each stay is conceived as an investment in one’s health capital.

2,000 SQ M DEDICATED TO ONESELF At the heart of the concept, the Shape Club spans 2,000 sq m, where effort and recovery work in harmony: a heated semi-Olympic outdoor swimming pool open all year round, a Technogym gym, class studios, a Pilates Reformer studio and a cryotherapy chamber.

A complete Nordic circuit - Finnish sauna, hammam, cold plunge and snow shower - sits alongside several massage rooms and a relaxation room.

Coaches, wellness advisors and therapists guide each guest through a combination of manual treatments and cutting-edge technologies. Treatment becomes an act of prevention, a moment to reconnect with oneself.

HEADING TO COURCHEVEL It is this model that Lucie Weill, co-founder of the house, will soon bring to the mountains. Lily of the Valley Courchevel is due to open in December 2027 beside the legendary altiport, at an altitude of more than 2,000 metres.

Once again designed by Philippe Starck, the 30-suite property will feature a structure built according to lowcarbon principles, with terraces overlooking Mont Blanc and ski-in/ski-out access to the Trois Vallées. The same bespoke programmes, the same exceptional treatments, and the same year-round opening.

Until then, Lily of the Valley Saint-Tropez remains open all year round. And the shoulder season, when the coastal paths become quieter and the light takes on a lower, softer quality, remains the house’s best-kept secret;

THE QUIET COVENANT BETWEEN AN OWNER AND THE TEAM ENTRUSTED WITH THEIR AIRCRAFT LIES AN AGREEMENT NO CONTRACT CAPTURES

by MD Savoy, Vice President of Brand and Market Strategy, Citadel Aviation Anyone who has commissioned a refit understands the moment. The yard is behind schedule, the joinery isn’t right, and the person standing in front of you is not the person who can fix it. The asset is extraordinary.

The stewardship of it is not.

Owners of the world’s most exclusive aircraft know that moment intimately. A privatized wide-body aircraft is among the most complex objects a person can own, closer in character to a superyacht than to any motorcar in the trades and judgment its care demands. Yet the industry built to look after these aircraft has fragmented into specialists: one vendor for maintenance, another for interiors, others still for connectivity and paint. The owner becomes the general contractor of their own asset.

There is an unspoken covenant between an owner and the team entrusted with their aircraft. Citadel Aviation was built to honor it.

BUILT BY A FAMILY OFFICE Citadel was founded in 2017 by Sheldon G. Adelson and Dr. Miriam Adelson, on the conviction that the V/ VVIP experience could be fundamentally better: more attentive, transparent, more agile, faster, more reliable.

Owners expect details measured and managed in absolutes rather than approximations. The company remains under the stewardship of the Adelson Family Office, and that lineage shapes how it operates. Patient deployment of capital investments. Impatient and unforgiving about quality expectations.

In January 2026, the company retired the name Citadel Completions. “It’s like having an exceptional bakery

citadelaviation.com

61

and only advertising wedding cakes,” says CEO Greg Colgan, who spent nine years as founding CEO of MRO Holdings, at times overseeing upwards of one hundred simultaneous aircraft heavy maintenance lines. “We can do so much more than that.”

The rebrand announced a full-lifecycle mandate spanning heavy maintenance, structural modification, avionics and connectivity upgrades, cabin refurbishment, and completions, all under one accountable roof. The market answered within weeks: thirteen new VIP aircraft projects in the first month alone.

TWO CENTERS, ONE ACCOUNTABLE TEAM Lake Charles, Louisiana remains the cornerstone, with approximately 260,000 square feet of hangar and maintenance space and a 10,700-foot runway, enough capacity to support multiple narrow and widebody aircraft programs at once. Cabinetry, upholstery, sheet metal, structural repair, and avionics are all handled in-house, with a key livery partner located onsite.

In March 2026, Citadel opened a second center of excellence at Dallas Love Field, purpose-built for corporate and large-cabin business jets and set within one of America’s most active private aviation corridors.

The site has been reborn under the Citadel Aviation banner and style of play, along with its own FAA Repair Station certificate.

Along with the growth requires additional investment in leadership. In August, aviation veteran Fred Cromer joined as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, consolidating finance, technology, human resources, and legal under a single mandate. Discipline installed before the growth rather than after it.

CREDENTIALS THAT TRAVEL For aircraft registered offshore and flown worldwide, approvals function much as flag-state compliance does at sea: they determine where work may lawfully be performed. Citadel holds FAA Part 145 certification alongside approvals from EASA, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Aruba, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. It is an authorized Boeing Business Jets Maintenance Service Center and 777-200/300 Completions Center, an Airbus Corporate Jets service network provider, and an authorized Starlink dealer and installer. Workmanship carries a twenty-four-month warranty, and AOG teams reach a grounded aircraft, wherever it sits, around the clock.

WHERE SCALE QUIETLY FAILS There is an uncomfortable truth in this business: the larger the provider, the more likely a bespoke project is quietly deprioritized. Head-of-state configurations, legacy airframes, and interiors involving thousands of one-off components do not conform to the standardized workflows that generate profit at volume.

They require patience, artistry, and a tolerance for problems that arrive without a template.

That is the work Citadel organized itself around. Here, “complete” is defined not by an arbitrary standard but by the expectations of the individual owner, and relationships are measured in years and aircraft rather than work orders.

Citadel continues to evaluate further investments in capabilities and capacity. Each step will be judged as the Dallas investment was: does it add meaningful capability, can it be operated and staffed to the Citadel standard, and does it make the experience better for the owner? In a market where trust is the only currency that ultimately matters, that is the entire proposition.

63 FOURTEEN MONACO SUMMERS, COUNTLESS FILM SETS, ONE REMARKABLE JOURNEY YVES PICKARDT: DESIGNING THE WORLD'S MOST LEGENDARY PRIVATE JET AND YACHT INTERIORS

by Gina de Franco

"The journey, not the arrival, matters." - T.S. Eliot

For fourteen summers, Monaco shaped Yves Pickardt’s understanding of hospitality, discretion, and the art of living well-an influence that would later define the private aircraft and yacht interiors he creates around the world.

High above the clouds and across the world’s oceans, Yves Pickardt creates interiors where aviation, craftsmanship, and personal history meet. His commissions range from Boeing Business Jets and Airbus Corporate Jets to the highly confidential Boeing 747-8 BBJ project, later the aircraft gifted by Qatar to President Donald J. Trump.

Born into a creative family, raised among celebrated film sets, and shaped by his formative years in Monaco, Yves Pickardt went on to create bespoke interiors for some of the world’s most discerning aircraft and yacht owners.

Yves Pickardt's interiors have received international recognition. An Airbus A320 Neo for Acropolis Aviation received the Robb Report New York Best of the Best Aviation Interiors Award in 2021. Design contributions aboard Paul Gauguin helped the vessel earn Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards in 2024 and 2025. The Odyssey program interiors have become benchmarks in private aviation design.

Yves is currently designing three major commissions: an Airbus A319 Neo for a major Asian group, a Bombardier Global 8000 for a private client, and another Airbus A320 Neo for Acropolis Aviation. The Global 8000, with its 8,000-nautical-mile range and Mach 0.94 capability-the fastest of any civil aircraft since Concorde-represents the next generation of ultra-long-range business aviation.

But the story of how this French designer learned to imagine extraordinary spaces began long before aviation.

It began in Monte-Carlo.

Where the Journey Begins: Monaco For fourteen summers, Monaco was Yves Pickardt’s elegant, unspoken education, surrounding him with the quiet language of living well and the warmth of a devoted family.

His grandmother, Lucie, made the Principality her permanent home. After the family fled Nazi Germany in 1937, his father and grandparents rebuilt their lives in Paris. Devoted to humanitarian work with La CroixRouge Monégasque, Lucie transformed hardship into service.

to her humanitarian dedication and the Pickardt family’s enduring Monaco legacy.

Yves learned early that Monaco’s savoir-faire extended beyond style-it reflected generosity, discretion, and responsibility. Inspired by his grandmother’s humanitarian spirit, he carries those values into his work today, creating interiors that respect both the owner and the environment.

“Protected woods such as teak and ebony have disappeared from my specifications,” Yves explains.

“Animal leathers are increasingly replaced by innovative materials created from pineapple fibers, algae, and other organic sources.”

“Steam trains arrived from France and Italy at Monaco’s open-air railway station below the Casino.

65 Rolls-Royce automobiles lined Casino Square. The gardens surrounding the Hôtel de Paris were filled with exotic Mediterranean plants.”

“In those days there were no skyscrapers in Monaco,” Yves recalls. “I watched Le Schuylkill rise above the skyline, creating a striking new silhouette overlooking the Principality. Today, this Monaco landmark is being reimagined by Zaha Hadid Architects.”

“I learned to swim at Monte-Carlo Beach under the watchful eye of Monsieur Schwebel, the lifeguard. My grandmother always reserved one of the famous greenand-white striped cabanas.”

“We dined on salade niçoise at La Vigie while a crooner sang Frank Sinatra classics nearby. I still remember the frothy milkshakes beneath the grand veranda of Café de Paris, overlooking Casino Square, as live classical music played. At the Hôtel de Paris, a friendly piano player would ask for my favorite tune while I enjoyed my ice cream. It was simply de rigueur in Monte-Carlomemories I will always hold dear.”

An Artistic Name Across Generations The Pickardt name has been associated with the arts for more than a century. Ernst Pickardt (1876– 1931), a Berlin painter, graphic artist, and illustrator, represented an earlier generation of artistic talent.

Inspired by his family’s creative world, Yves grew up surrounded by the arts. His mother, Ellen Bahl, was a celebrated French actress who met his father, Ulrich Pickardt-professionally known as Ully Picard-on a film set in Germany in 1954. Ulrich went on to become a respected film production manager and producer.

Film Sets, Aviation, and Design “It was not unusual to run into Kirk Douglas, Charles Bronson, or Ludmila Tcherina, especially in Monaco,” Yves recalls. “I watched, admired, and even met these remarkable actors while they were filming.”

Ulrich Pickardt’s credits included Luis Buñuel’s The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972), which won the 1973 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

Family photographs shared by Yves also capture Carole Bouquet and Fernando Rey during the filming of Cet obscur objet du désir (1977), as well as Jane Birkin from the period of his father’s work with acclaimed Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa.

From film sets to the skies above, aviation became part of Yves’s early world. His father flew light aircraft and performed aerobatics.

“Wow, I just couldn’t believe those stunts my dad was doing. He would hang out of the aircraft and maneuver loop-de-loops!” Yves recalls.

From Paris to Rome to the World: The Foundations of Design Yves Pickardt credits his education at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Appliqués et des Métiers d’Art in Paris as the foundation of his career.

In 1979, he moved to Rome to join Studio Angeletti, overlooking Piazza di Spagna. The spirit of La Dolce Vita was still in the air. Led by Anna-Laura Angeletti, the studio became an important early chapter in his design journey.

His first major commission was a modern beachfront residence in Perth, Western Australia, for the late champion racing driver and renowned classic car collector Peter Briggs.

From 1983 to 1986, he expanded his expertise with MIM Mobili, designing private residences throughout Europe and corporate offices in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

Returning to Paris, Yves sought to work alongside Alberto Pinto, one of the world’s leading interior designers. Together, they completed projects including the sailing ships Club Med 1 and Club Med 2, as well as the restoration of La Mamounia in Marrakech. Yves also collaborated with Pinto and Amr Mandour on private residences, including Marella Agnelli’s winter home.

When a Pinto client asked who should design a private aircraft, Alberto replied: “When it comes to travel, it’s Yves!”

When the Aircraft Became the Residence In the late 1980s, a British-French client of Alberto Pinto purchased a Boeing Business Jet (BBJ1) based on the Boeing 737 and wanted more than a conventional aircraft interior. That commission became Yves Pickardt’s first private aviation projectthe moment an aircraft became a residence in the sky.

Yves recalls meeting Hubert de Givenchy, whose famous observation, “Luxury is in each detail,” left a lasting impression. It is a philosophy he has carried throughout his career, reflected in every aircraft, yacht, and residence he designs.

For one jet owner, a passion for equestrian life shaped the aircraft’s interior. At AMAC Aerospace in Basel, Yves incorporated the renowned Hermès hand saddle stitch into selected leather seating and detailing, bringing the precision of fine saddlemaking into the cabin.

For an Airbus A319 CJ project, inspiration came from the owner’s favorite yellow leather jacket, purchased

on Rodeo Drive. Yves transformed that exact shade into a hand-stitched leather peace symbol above the owner’s bed. “He loved that the yellow jacket became his personal good luck symbol,” Yves recalls. “He even gave me one of the three yellow jackets he had purchased in Beverly Hills.”

The same aircraft features three hand-decorated gold-leaf globes representing Earth, Moon, and Mars, each rotating 360 degrees-an imaginative interpretation of navigation that transformed a traditional map into a threedimensional experience reflecting the owner’s dreams and imagination.

The aircraft also features one of the largest galleys ever installed on a private jet, crafted from stainless steel and carbon fiber and equipped with a professional wok station, advanced ventilation system, and a commercial-

style kitchen hood, allowing the owner’s private chef to prepare authentic Chinese cuisine at 40,000 feet.

Asked about his dream commission, Yves Pickardt's eyes light up: “The Boeing 747,” he exclaims. “Because it’s one of the largest aircraft ever built - 420 square meters-that’s enough space to really express yourself.”

His journey-from fourteen Monaco summers to legendary film sets and the skies above-continues to shape the private aircraft and yacht interiors he creates today.

This September, Yves Pickardt returns to Monaco for the Dassault Falcon exhibit at the Monaco Yacht Show-a fitting return to the Principality where his imagination first took flight.

MEGÈVE THE ART

OF CONSTANT METAMORPHOSIS Some destinations rest on their legend. Megève, for its part, cultivates it by reinventing itself each season.

For nearly a century, the Savoyard village beloved by Baroness de Rothschild has made discreet elegance and perpetual renewal the pillars of an identity that no passing trend seems able to alter. This winter once again, between gastronomic summits, wellness temples and confidential addresses, Megève demonstrates that being an icon never exempts one from reinventing oneself.

THE FOUR SEASONS RESORT MEGÈVE ELEVATED TO PALACE STATUS The most dazzling symbol of this dynamism, the Four Seasons Resort Megève has this season joined the very exclusive circle of French Palaces – a distinction that consecrates a decade of excellence on the slopes of Mont d'Arbois. But the house does not stop there: its Spa of nearly 900 m², a true sanctuary nestled in the heart of the mountains, enriches its wellness offering with spaces designed as a parenthesis of absolute rejuvenation.

The journey now begins with an outdoor Jacuzzi that can accommodate up to twelve people, offering a striking panorama of the snow-capped peaks.

Nearby, a mixed sauna open to the outside, clad in raw wood and sublimated by an elegant salt wall, invites contemplation. And for those curious about the latest advances in wellness, a biohacking ritual around a floatation bed – six hundred litres of Epsom salt providing a sensation of total weightlessness – promotes muscular recovery and deep mental release.

The Four Seasons thus confirms that alpine luxury today is as much about the body as it is about the mind.

JULIEN GATILLON REINVENTS THE SAINT-NICOLAS On the gastronomic front, the event of the season bears a name: that of Julien Gatillon, an inescapable figure of Megève cuisine, who takes over the culinary direction

of the restaurant at the Hôtel Au Coin du Feu. Supported in the kitchen by Jean-Baptiste Doualan, his former sous-chef at Mont d'Arbois, the chef signs at the Saint-Nicolas a menu in his own image: contemporary and sincere French cuisine, where Arctic char, Breton lobster and Poitou pigeon tell the authenticity of seasonal flavours. The "Partage" menu, designed to be savoured among several guests, embodies this philosophy of conviviality that is the signature of the house.

THE LODGE PARK EMBRACES A NEW YOUTH FOR ITS CENTENARY In 2027, the Lodge Park will celebrate its hundredth anniversary – and it is safe to say that it is approaching it with panache. After two years of complete renovation, the emblematic address of the Maisons et Hôtels Sibuet label is opening a new chapter: from forty-nine rooms, the hotel moves to twenty-nine ultra-luxurious suites, a guarantee of increased space, comfort and confidentiality.

As Nicolas Grivet, owner of the hotel, sums it up, this collaboration marks a new step in the history of the restaurant, with the ambition of making every meal a moment of exception.

The final touch of this transformation, "Le Chalet du Lodge", a private chalet adjacent to the hotel with six rooms and an indoor swimming pool, will open its doors in December 2026, extending the premium service spirit dear to the Sibuet house.

LA FERME DU MEYTANT, A REINVENTED SAVOYARD INN Far from the bustle of the village centre, Justine and Édouard Dupuy are giving new life to La Ferme du Meytant. Seduced by the raw charm of this former farm and its incomparable panorama of the Mont-Blanc massif, they are turning it into a true Savoyard inn, warm and family-friendly, open almost all year round.

The menu, faithful to the authentic identity of the place, will evolve with the seasons – fondue remaining an obvious choice served at lunch and dinner. Four rooms allow guests to prolong the experience in this exceptional setting.

et

In the same vein, Pure Altitude – a pioneer for more than thirty-five years in cosmetics inspired by alpine plants – is inaugurating its very first Longevity Spa there, an unprecedented dialogue between alpine rituals and cutting-edge biohacking technologies: whole-body cryotherapy, hyperbaric chamber, LED photobiomodulation, neuroregulation and naturopathy consultations make up personalised protocols dedicated to sleep, recovery and longevity. "The aim is not to adopt a purist approach, but to combine wellbeing and pleasure," underlines Marie Sibuet, General Manager of Maisons et Hôtels Sibuet – a philosophy that could sum up the entire Megève spirit.

CHIC CHILDHOOD: JACADI PARIS AND MEGÈVE SIGN A CAPSULE COLLECTION The art of alpine living also extends to childhood, with the unprecedented collaboration between Jacadi Paris – an emblematic house for nearly fifty years – and Megève.

This exclusive capsule collection, imagined as a tribute to the warm universe of chalets, features the Jacadi bear in a version specially created for the occasion: jumpers, hats, mittens, snoods and an elegant little suitcase make up this limited edition where all the sweetness of Megève living is to be found, between tea by the fire and snowy walks.

FONDUES AND GOURMANDISES REINVENTED The village's gastronomic heritage is also constantly renewing itself. At the M de Megève, fondue is reinvented around an unprecedented concept: that of a "fromagier" who, like a sommelier, composes for each guest a bespoke fondue, declined according to bases as audacious as beer, Chignin "Vieilles Vignes", cider – or even a Fujisan Souchong Grand Cru tea for a signature alcohol-free version. To be tasted with bread, vegetables, morels or snails, according to the inspiration of the moment.

Fromagerie du Vieux Pont is preparing to live its first winter season. Its manager, Stéphane Dufour, supported by two Meilleurs Ouvriers de France including Christian Janier, offers a sharp selection of mountain cheeses from the two Savoies, Switzerland and Italy, on an ultrashort circuit.

Another gourmet novelty: since last summer, the first Loiseau La Pâtisserie boutique has set up in a charming chalet in the heart of the village, where the homemade tarte tatin is already establishing itself as an obvious choice.

MEGÈVE NIGHTS ARE ALSO REINVENTING THEMSELVES On the nightlife side, installed in the former Casino, "Cosa Papa?" embodies an assumed dolce vita and rock'n'roll spirit – high-end trattoria, après-ski bar and bowling mingle in an atmosphere that becomes increasingly festive as the night progresses.

A new private karaoke space, named "Le Micro de Papa", has opened under the arcades of its veranda. More family-oriented, the Novotel Megève Mont-Blanc offers its monthly Apéro'Live du Meztiva, themed buffets punctuated by concerts and DJ sets, while the Kids Club keeps the youngest occupied – an intergenerational parenthesis in the image of the village's DNA.

AN INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION THAT CONTINUES TO BE CONFIRMED On the skiing front, Megève is consolidating its international stature by integrating, alongside Chamonix, the highly coveted Ikon Pass – one of the most influential ski passes in the world, acclaimed every year by thousands of North American skiers. A strategic visibility that places the resort on the map of the most demanding travellers, come to discover an authentic alpine village, characterful accommodation and award-winning gastronomy, in the heart of the 400 kilometres of slopes of the Évasion Mont-Blanc domain.

Finally, the cultural scene is not to be outdone: the exhibition "60 Years of Urban Art", presented at the Espace d'Art Moderne et Contemporain Edith Allard at the Palais de Megève, retraces six decades of urban creation through some forty original works, from Jacques Villeglé to JR via Miss.Tic and Invad er. And the 2027 agenda is already looking busy, between Megève Leadership, the tenth anniversary of the Back to Back festival and the Idéal Festival.

From the table to the mountain, from wellness to children's fashion, Megève proves once again that being timeless never means standing still. It is precisely this capacity to reinvent itself without ever denying itself that makes, season after season, the singularity – and the longevity – of its art of living.

Arranging transfers, booking a ski instructor, a restaurant or an activity: everything is orchestrated to make the stay effortless. Dog-sledding, exclusive experiences or more intimate moments - the team builds a bespoke programme around each guest's wishes.

Fée Pour Vous Luxury Properties is the promise of experiencing the Alps as one of the privileged few. An address where everything is taken care of so that holidaymakers need do just one thing: savour it.

Because ultimately, when a Fée (fairy) takes care of you, all that remains is for the mountains to reveal their full magic.

GOLF & FRAGRANCE

by Olivia Rose There are golf tournaments, and there are days that bring people together. The Pro-Am des Parfumeurs belongs firmly to the second category. Force One Magazine was delighted to once again attend as Official Media Partner, sharing an event where business, friendship and sport naturally come together on the French Riviera.

Spending a day at the Pro-Am des Parfumeurs quickly explains why so many participants return year after year.

Beyond the competition itself, it is the atmosphere that makes the difference. Executives from leading fragrance houses, entrepreneurs, international guests and golf lovers all meet in an environment where conversations continue as easily on the fairways as around the dining table.

The 27th edition, held on 20 June at the Old Course Cannes Mandelieu, introduced a welcome novelty.

For the first time since the event was created, every moment of the day took place within the same venue. It proved to be an excellent choice, giving

everyone more opportunities to meet, exchange ideas and simply enjoy the occasion without interruption.

The day began at the clubhouse before guests moved to the riverside "BAC" area for lunch. Set beside the Siagne, the relaxed garden-party atmosphere and live cooking around braziers provided the perfect start before players headed onto one of the Riviera's most historic courses.

Recent improvements to the layout, including new water features and redesigned tee boxes, added fresh interest while preserving the character of the Old Course.

Bringing our community together in one place made this edition especially rewarding, strengthening friendships while creating new opportunities for everyone involved.

Jaques France - CEO Plein Swing

After the final putts, attention turned to the prize ceremony. Thanks to the support of Caisse d'Epargne and BMW Louyet Cannes, the winning teams received outstanding prizes, while the elegant trophies produced by Coverpla reflected the close relationship between craftsmanship and the perfume industry itself.

Later, the music returned and the dance floor remained busy until late into the night.

Among the day's sporting highlights, Attractive Scent, led by professional Romain Langasque, won the gross classification reserved for perfume industry teams. Coverpla, with professional Bastien Melani, claimed first place in the net category, while the overall net title went to Phyderma, captained by professional Jérôme Forestier.

Force One Magazine is proud to continue its partnership with an event that combines genuine hospitality with first-class organisation, and already looks forward to returning for the 28th edition.

The celebrations then moved to La Grange, hosting the gala dinner for the first time. Mandy opened the evening with live music before a dynamic dance performance featuring three dancers and an acrobat.

The traditional prize draw offered two exceptional prizes: a week's stay at Heritage Le Telfair Golf & Wellness Resort in Mauritius and a weekend at Domaine de Manville in Les Baux-de-Provence.

THE GRAND TOUR

HAS JUST STARTED

by Luca Marotta The world of automotive collecting was waiting for a new definition.

Laurent Buisine and Hugo Valat provided it in the Parisian setting of Place Vendôme, before going on to conquer Monte-Carlo and plotting a course for Milan and Madrid.

The Collection Paris refuses to simply be a gathering point for supercar enthusiasts. It wants to be something else entirely: a proposition that beauty, travel, art, and human connection deserve the same pedestal as the machines themselves.

The numbers tell part of the story. A €7 million fundraising round, announced in the summer of 2026, will bankroll the opening of two new clubs in Madrid and Milan by 2027. The transaction sees Charles Leclerc - the Ferrari star - join as a shareholder. It is a vote of confidence from a figure who understands velocity better than most. Yet the steer remains firmly with Buisine and Valat, the co-founders whose vision turned a private members' concept into a transnational platform for experiential luxury.

"We want The Collection Paris to become the reference for the art of automotive living," the founders stated. "By bringing together an international community within iconic destinations, we are building a brand that will redefine the collector's experience." Those words reflect a deliberate departure from the traditional supercar club model, where the asset - the vehicle - sits at the centre of gravity.

At The Collection Paris, the car is the starting point, not the destination.

89 By bringing together an international community within iconic destinations, we are building a brand destined to redefine the collector's experience.

The distinction matters commercially. The club's membership proposition stretches far beyond track days and garage tours. It encompasses curated travel experiences, artistic partnerships, hospitality, and cultural programming in spaces where architecture and design carry equal weight to the automobiles on display.

Brands that collaborate with The Collection Paris do so not for product placement, but for the alignment of values: a shared philosophy that craftsmanship, rarity, and emotional resonance matter more than volume and visibility.

This is why the Madrid outpost, in the heart of the innovative Canajelas center, and linked to the Four

Seasons Hotel, makes strategic sense. It is a new address representing an extension of The Collection's thesis that the physical environment must elevate the object within it. The Milan opening follows the same logic.

Together with the existing Paris and Monaco locations, the network will form a constellation of destinations where members do not only store or admire cars - they inhabit a broader aesthetic universe.

Leclerc's involvement amplifies the signal. A driver of his stature brings global visibility and credibility within the automotive world. But the founders are careful to frame his role as a reinforcement of their own strategic direction, not a pivot toward celebrity-driven expansion. The capital raised will also fund a proprietary

91

digital platform intended to connect members worldwide, extending the club's reach beyond its physical walls without diluting its intimate character.

For investors and observers of the luxury sector, The Collection Paris offers a case study in category creation. Buisine an d Valat have identified a gap between traditional car clubs - often narrow in scope and demographically homogeneous - and the wider experiential economy that now commands the attention of high-net-worth individuals. By positioning passion and beauty as entry points to a community that looks beyond body lines and engine notes, they have built something that scales without losing its soul.

Seven million euros is not a vast sum in the context of global luxury rollouts. But in this case, precision matters more than scale.

The founders know their audience, their markets, and their narrative. Europe's next chapter of automotive culture is being written not in horsepower figures, but in the spaces between them.

ALCENZA PROPERTIES &

THE DUBAI DECADE Nowhere is private wealth moving faster than to the United Arab Emirates: close to ten thousand millionaires arrive every year, Dubai is building for a population of six million, and a square metre there still costs a fraction of what it does in Monaco or London. Amirans Kavtaradze founded Alcenza Properties in 2024 to handle that move from end to end, from the first viewing to the residency permit. Two years on it anchors a group with offices in four countries and more than a billion euros in closed transactions.

93

Amirans Kavtaradze has spent his working life in property.

He started in Latvia in 2008, worked in agencies in London, and went on to build his own real estate businesses in Europe. What turned his attention to the Gulf was not the marketing but the arithmetic: a city adding residents and companies at a speed no European capital could match, with a government that publishes ten-year plans and then meets them. He moved to Dubai in 2022 and joined one of the city's large agencies as a broker, on the view that no market is understood from the outside. A little over a year of daily transactions gave him what he was looking for: which projects hold their value, what international buyers are actually trying to solve, and where the service around them breaks down.

That last point became the business plan. A buyer arriving in the UAE is seldom buying only an apartment. In most cases an entire life is being relocated: a company to establish or transfer, a family to move, schools to find, residency and banking to arrange, all of it inside an unfamiliar legal system and at speed. Dubai has thousands of brokers and no shortage of consultants, but the client was generally left to assemble the pieces himself, from providers who never spoke to one another.

Alcenza Properties was founded in 2024 around a single idea: the whole cycle in one place. Property came first, because the largest purchase of a person's life is where trust is either earned or lost, and Alcenza Business Services was built next to it to carry everything that follows the keys.

Dubai rewards clarity quickly. In its first year the company

was already inside Emaar's top ten partners, ranked seventh for the first half of 2025, and stood fifth with both Meraas and Nakheel, developers who between them have shaped much of the city's skyline. Over that same first year it closed property transactions worth more than a billion euros, having started from nothing. Today the group runs two offices in Dubai and one in Abu Dhabi, representative offices in Monaco, Latvia and Georgia, an in-house marketing company, and Alcenza Business Services for residency, company formation and banking.

THE DISCIPLINE OF A YOUNG MARKET Ask Kavtaradze what has been hardest about growing at that speed and the answer is not recruitment or capital. It is judgement. A fast market rewards almost any purchase in a rising year, and that is exactly what makes it dangerous.

Competition in Dubai runs less between companies than between agents chasing the day's commission, and a buyer steered towards whichever project pays the broker most may find later that he cannot resell it, or only at a loss. Alcenza Properties works under a self-imposed limit: it does not sell illiquid projects for a higher fee, whatever the commission on offer. What matters is location, first and always, and what the client actually wants, whether that is a family home in a finished community or an investment with a credible exit. Kavtaradze would rather take a smaller commission on the right property than a larger one on a purchase the client will regret. In a city where most buyers arrive on someone's recommendation, the arithmetic looks after itself: a satisfied client returns and brings others.

94

AN AI COUNTRY, AND A DISSENTING VIEW The UAE has made artificial intelligence a national project, with state funding, dedicated ministries and platforms handed to startups, and the property industry has followed enthusiastically. Its fashionable investment is AI lead qualification: software that screens and interviews buyers before a human is involved. Kavtaradze has declined to build it. Property, he argues, is an emotional purchase.

People buy from people, and no algorithm reads the hesitation in a first conversation, senses what a family is really worried about, or earns the trust that closes a seven-figure deal. The economics trouble him as much as the psychology: the cost of a qualified lead in the Emirates rises every year, and placing a robot at the most expensive moment of the funnel, the first human contact, strikes him as an efficient way to burn money.

He allows one exception. When enquiries arrive faster than a team can physically answer them, an automated reply is better than a lead left untouched until everyone forgets it existed. But that is triage rather than strategy, and he points to a risk that rarely appears in the sales pitch: these models carry a known error rate and fill gaps with assumptions that are not grounded in fact. In lead qualification, every such mistake is a paying client quietly deleted from the pipeline, and the company never finds out it happened.

THE MACHINE BEHIND THE AGENT So the firm points its technology the other way, behind the agent. Inside its CRM, Alcenza Properties has built its own AI layer to absorb the administrative work agents privately call the industry's hidden tax. Its publication system verifies

documents by checking the data inside them against the listing fields, turns quick photographs taken on a phone into professional images, drafts the title and description, and posts the finished listing across the main UAE portals, partner sites and the group's own network. Work that used to take about an hour now takes ten minutes. When an enquiry arrives, the agent receives a WhatsApp notification with the project information already assembled, so the only task left is to call. The pipeline updates itself by recognising what the agent has done, which cuts CRM housekeeping to ten or twenty minutes a day, and internal chat assistants answer questions on demand.

Nothing in this stack ever speaks to a customer, and that is deliberate. The effect was measurable in a way technology claims rarely are. The company had spent the better part of a year working towards a target number of live listings; within three months of the tools going live that number had doubled, with the same team, in the same market.

WHAT DUBAI LOOKS LIKE FROM MONACO His reading of the market is neither promotional nor bearish. Property is cyclical everywhere and the Emirates are no exception, though every downturn there has so far ended in a recovery to a higher level than the one before.

The first half of 2026 produced close to eighty thousand transactions worth around seventy billion euros, and the composition of that demand tells him more than the totals do. A few years ago the market was dominated by off-plan bought to flip.

Today it is shifting towards finished homes bought to live in, the end-user base that makes a market stable. Nearly ten thousand millionaires relocate to the UAE each year,

95

more than to any other country, and value explains a good part of that: comparable quality costs several times more in Monaco or London, and there is no income tax at the other end of the move. He does not expect a crash. He expects divergence, with returns concentrating in wellchosen assets while average stock stalls. The era of buying anything in Dubai and watching it double has closed. What is beginning is the era of buying the right asset, with the right advice.

MOVING A WHOLE LIFE TO THE GULF Alcenza Business Services exists because relocation is stressful even for the wealthy. Unfamiliar law, procedure and paperwork can make even the registration of a newly bought property feel daunting. The proposition is that a client chooses and buys, then leaves the rest to be arranged: the bank account, the visa, frequently the Golden Visa the property itself qualifies the buyer for, the trade licence, the transfer of an existing business, even a place in Dubai's oversubscribed schools.

It runs in both directions, since many clients come first to establish a company and buy a home or an office later.

Increasingly they begin the whole process remotely and fly in only when everything is ready and chosen for them.

THE FUTURE IS BEING BUILT HERE Everything about the way the city plans itself points the same way. The D33 agenda aims to double Dubai's economy by 2033 and place it among the world's top three cities to live, work and do business in. The 2040 Urban Master Plan is building for a population approaching six million. The Land Department has set a target of annual property transactions worth roughly a quarter of a trillion

euros by 2033. Demand is already running ahead of the plans: in the best districts and the best buildings there is effectively no commercial space left to take, and much of what is still under construction is spoken for long before it is finished. Kavtaradze's roadmap follows the same line: wider international representation, a tokenisation service built on regulation the Land Department has already introduced, which will open the market to investors with smaller capital, and a growing portfolio of projects under exclusive management, where quality can be controlled from the first viewing to handover.

The same thinking applies inside the company. Agents freed from routine understand their clients better, and clients feel the difference. Kavtaradze wants Alcenza Properties to be as comfortable and modern as Dubai itself, and to become the first call a person makes when they decide the UAE is their future, and the last partner they will ever need to replace.

A SAFE COUNTRY TO LIVE AND DO BUSINESS One of Dubai’s most important attributes, from Kavtaradze perspective, is its combination of security and institutional stability. Even against a backdrop of regional geopolitical tension, including the episode involving Iran earlier this year, the city has continued to demonstrate resilience, policy continuity, and a remarkable capacity to preserve confidence among international capital.

For long-term investors, that matters as much as growth: sustainable value is built not only on performance, but on predictability, governance, and the ability of a market to remain investable through different cycles.

WHERE BUSINESS MEETS THE GRAND PRIX

© Bruno de Marquis

There are few places in the world where business and lifestyle converge as naturally as Monaco during Grand Prix week. Against the glittering backdrop of the Côte d’Azur, where the world’s most powerful names in finance, luxury and entrepreneurship gather each year, Investor Media Monaco hosted another exclusive rendez-vous designed around one of the most valuable commodities in international business: meaningful relationships.

On 4 June, A’Trego Restaurant & Bar in Cap d’Ail welcomed more than 100 carefully selected guests for the Alcenza Properties B2C Private Rendez-Vous @ F1 GP. The invitation-only gathering brought together Family Office representatives, private investors, Ultra-High-Net-Worth Individuals, VIPs and leading figures from the international Investor Media Monaco network.

With the Mediterranean stretching beyond the terrace and the atmosphere of the Monaco Grand Prix still very much alive, A’TREGO provided an elegant setting for an evening in which business conversations could develop naturally, away from the formality of traditional corporate events.

The occasion was held with Alcenza Properties Dubai as

Title Sponsor. For the Dubai-based real estate company, the event offered a direct opportunity to engage with an influential European audience and present its growing range of property and lifestyle services. With an increasing focus on international investors, Alcenza Properties is positioning itself as a partner for clients looking beyond the acquisition of a property, offering support across investment, relocation and the broader lifestyle associated with establishing a presence in the UAE. Yachting was represented by Sunreef Yachts, whose longstanding relationship with Investor Media Monaco has made its presence at these private gatherings an established feature. The shipyard presented its latest range and new developments for the 2026 season, offering guests an

insight into its approach to contemporary multihull design, innovation and bespoke yacht ownership.

Marinepool, the specialist in sailing apparel, maritime fashion and life jackets, added a further dimension to the evening, reinforcing the connection between the worlds of yachting, luxury and international lifestyle.

But beyond the brands and presentations, the real focus was the people in the room. Investor Media Monaco has developed its private events around a carefully curated model in which quality of connections takes precedence over quantity. The objective is to create an environment where introductions can become conversations, conversations can become opportunities, and opportunities can ultimately develop into long-term business relationships.

The Monaco Grand Prix provides an exceptional backdrop for this philosophy. For several days, the Principality becomes one of the world's most concentrated meeting points for international wealth and influence. Entrepreneurs, investors, family offices, luxury brands and private clients converge within a remarkably small geographical area, creating a

unique ecosystem for high-level encounters.

The June gathering also marked a significant milestone: the 86th event organised by Investor Media Monaco since its foundation. It is a figure that reflects not only the scale of the organisation’s activity, but the consistency of its approach to international business networking.

The programme continues throughout 2026, with further B2C initiatives around the Monaco Yacht Show, followed by the second edition of the Monaco International Investment Forum (MIIF) Dubai and activities connected with the Dubai International Boat Show.

Looking further ahead, Investor Media Monaco is extending its reach across Monaco, Dubai and Singapore, with new opportunities also emerging in India and other international markets.

In a world where digital connections are increasingly immediate, Investor Media Monaco is built around the enduring value of meeting in person.

MIIF DUBAI

GLOBAL CAPITAL & OPPORTUNITY On 18th November 2026, the Monaco International Investment Forum returns to Dubai, bringing together international capital, entrepreneurs and decision-makers at the prestigious Bvlgari Yacht Club.

Following the remarkable success of its inaugural Dubai edition in November 2025 and the 5th Monaco edition, held at the Yacht Club de Monaco on 18 and 19 March 2026, the Monaco International Investment Forum (MIIF) returns to Dubai for its 2nd edition.

More than a return, MIIF Dubai 2026 marks the next stage in the development of an international platform designed to strengthen business and investment connections between Europe, Monaco and the GCC. At the heart of MIIF is a clear proposition: connecting the right people with the right capital and the right opportunities.

A BRIDGE BETWEEN MARKETS Dubai has established itself as one of the world's most dynamic centres for investment, entrepreneurship and international business. Monaco, meanwhile, offers a unique ecosystem of private wealth, family offices, international entrepreneurs and sophisticated investors.

Bringing these 2 environments together creates a powerful platform for cross-border business.

MIIF Dubai 2026 will bring together international investors, family offices, entrepreneurs, private equity leaders, innovators, policymakers and senior decisionmakers, creating two environment focused on

mcinvestmentforum.com

99 strategic dialogue, business development and highvalue connections.

The Forum will explore key areas shaping the global investment landscape, including private equity, venture capital, emerging technologies, sustainable finance and wealth management.

Where relationships create value, the strength of MIIF lies not simply in its conference programme, but in the quality of the relationships it facilitates.

The latest Monaco edition, held last March, welcomed more than 600 international participants, including investors, entrepreneurs, family offices, private equity leaders and institutional representatives, with over 50 single family offices represented.

High-level discussions on family office investing, real estate, data security and defence demonstrated the breadth of expertise and interests within the MIIF community.

Dubai will build on this momentum.

Participants will have the opportunity to explore new markets, identify investment opportunities, forge international partnerships and connect directly with influential players across the international business community. For companies seeking international

expansion or access to new sources of capital, MIIF also provides an environment in which initial conversations can develop into long-term commercial relationships.

THE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY The value of participation extends beyond the Forum itself. Companies joining MIIF at an early stage can benefit from increased visibility, direct access to qualified prospects and opportunities to establish relationships in the months leading up to the event.

THE NEXT CHAPTER The 2nd Dubai edition represents the next chapter in a platform built on excellence, innovation and longterm vision. From Monaco to Dubai, MIIF is creating a strategic bridge between European private capital and the rapidly evolving opportunities of the GCC. In a world where capital is increasingly global, access, trust and relationships have become as important as finance itself.

MIIF brings these elements together in one distinctive environment - connecting people, capital and opportunities and creating the conditions for new partnerships and long-term value.

RACING COMPLICATIONS

by Dafne Funeck

From the circuits to the roads of the great motor racing competitions, the chronograph has become over time one of the most representative objects of the masculine universe.

The great Houses reinterpret its character through technical materials, decisive geometries and details that belong to the racing imagination, transforming function into a distinctive sign.

BREGUET - Tradition 7037 38 mm platinum case, black Grand Feu enamel dial and Breguet gold hands.

Automatic calibre 505 SR, 50 hours power reserve and water resistance to 3 bar.

Patrick Dempsey

The race begins with the Tradition 7037 by Breguet, where mechanics becomes an integral part of the aesthetic. The platinum case and the black Grand Feu enamel dial build an essential contrast, whilst the architecture of the movement visible on the front restores a sophisticated reading of tradition.

On the occasion of the Formula 1 Pirelli Gran Premio d'Italia 2026, TAG Heuer celebrates at Monza the fiftieth anniversary of the Monza Flyback Chronograph. Born in 1976 in the heart of Formula 1 history, the model returns today with a 42 mm forged carbon case, preserving the racing attitude of the original and reinterpreting it through a technical and contemporary aesthetic.

TAG HEUER - Monza Flyback Chronograph 42 mm in forged carbon, black dial and red details.

Manufacture calibre TH20-12 COSC Flyback automatic, 80 hours power reserve and water resistance to 100 m.

Limited edition of 500 pieces.

CHOPARD - Mille Miglia GTS Power Control Grigio-Blu – 2026 Racing Edition 43 mm in Lucent Steel™, hammered grey-blue dial and technical fabric strap with rubber lining.

Manufacture calibre 01.08-C automatic, COSC certified, approximately 60 hours power reserve and water resistance to 100 m.

Limited edition of 250 pieces.

103

AUDEMARS PIGUET - Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph Steel case 42 mm, Méga Tapisserie silver-grey dial with black counters and orange details.

Chronograph with tachymetric scale, black leather strap and water resistance to 100 m.

The world of competition also comes to life in the Mille Miglia GTS Power Control Grigio-Blu - 2026 Racing Edition

by Chopard, a tribute to the historic Freccia Rossa, born in 1927 and now dedicated to historic cars. The grey-blue dial and the strap inspired by tyre tread translate the racing imagination into a sporty and sophisticated timepiece.

The language of the Royal Oak Offshore by Audemars Piguet is more assertive, having become one of the most recognisable expressions of the luxury sportswatch. The octagonal bezel, the substantial proportions and the dial define an immediate presence, whilst the chronograph reinforces its sporting vocation.

Materials research reaches an extreme dimension with the DEFY Extreme Lapislazzuli II by Zenith. The carbon and titanium case meets the intense blue of lapis lazuli, used for the counters of the openworked dial, creating a contrast between natural material and technology. A watch that brings to the wrist a precise idea of performance and contemporaneity.

ZENITH - DEFY Extreme Lapislazzuli II 45 mm case in carbon and titanium, openworked dial with lapis lazuli counters.

Chronograph with 1/100th of a secon reading precision and 50 hours power reserve.

Limited edition of 25 pieces.

104

RICHARD MILLE - RM 64-01 Tourbillon Colnago Quartz TPT® case, with titanium and pink gold details.

RM64-01 manual-winding calibre with tourbillon and 65 hours power reserve.

Limited edition of 50 pieces.

From the motor car to cycling, Richard Mille transfers this language into the RM 64-01 Tourbillon Colnago model.

The collaboration with the historic Italian bicycle manufacturer translates into an architecture that recalls racing frames and transmission mechanics. A creation of graphic and transparent construction, produced in a limited edition of only 50 pieces.

The concept of time keeping opens up to grand mechanics with the Traditionnelle Twin Beat Calendario Perpetuo

by Vacheron Constantin. Reinterpreted in 2026, it features a platinum case and a multi-layer dial embellished with a handcrafted guilloché pattern.

With the Sixties Chronograph Annual Edition 2026, Glashütte Original looks to its own aesthetic memory. The dégradé violet dial and the forms inspired by the Sixties introduce a retro dimension, reinterpreted through contemporary proportions and details. The chronograph thus becomes also an exercise in style.

VACHERON CONSTANTIN Traditionnelle Twin Beat Calendario Perpetuo Platinum 950 case and multi-layer dial with hand-crafted guilloché.

Calibre 3610 QP manual-winding with perpetual calendar and patented Twin Beat system, with autonomy up to 70 days in standby mode.

GLASHÜTTE ORIGINAL - Sixties Chronograph Annual Edition 2026 Steel case and dégradé violet dial, inspired by the aesthetic codes of the Sixties.
