This museum-quality, rare Empire clock in gilt and patinated bronze with Eros leaning on a large lyre while gazing in the distance is a model by bronze caster and gilder Claude Galle (1759-1815).

GILDED AGE

This rare Empire clock in gilt and patinated bronze with Eros leaning on a large lyre is by Claude Galle. The sculpted and carved sculpture of Eros and his lyre form the main focus of this museum-quality clock. All the details and quality of making reveal the hand of the renowned bronze caster and gilder: Eros stands on the base of the clock, with one foot on a stool and his clothes draped around his body. He plucks his lyre, which contains the clockwork movement, while gazing into the distance.

The clock has a quadrangular plinth in gilt and patinated bronze mounted with garlands, swans, butterflies and torches and resting on four ball feet with butterfly wings. Next to Eros is the arrows which he shoots to make people fall in love, a fire that warms and ignites the heart, and by his left foot are a quiver and a torch, all typical symbols of the god. In the middle of the lyre is the clockwork, which has a white enamel annular dial, signed Bailly à Paris, a clockmaker on Rue Menars and Rue Richelieu in 1810, wrapped around an openwork rosette with palmettes and foliage. The movement with anchor escapement and silk thread suspension strikes the hour and half hours on a bell. The white enamel dial features Roman numerals and blued-steel Breguet-style hands indicate the hours and minutes. In exceptional and perfectly working conditions, this Empire clock comes with its original mercury gilding. The clock has been cleaned and serviced by a professional clock maker, and comes complete with its pendulum, key and bell. This model is also known entirely gilded or with variations in the arrangement of the patina. In his book “Les ouvriers du temps”, Jean-Dominique Augarde wrote about a version of this clock signed by Claude Galle. (Images courtesy of Apollo Art & Antiques)

FEMININITY, INSPIREDY BY THE BARONESS WITH A BRUSH www.armani.com Like the work of painter Tamara de Lempicka (1898-1980), whose depiction of women combined the voluptuous sensuality of Ingres with the optimistic style of Art Deco, late neoclassicism and refined cubism, Armani Privé Couture Fall/Winter 2022-2023 collection is themed “pétillant”, sparkling with multi-faceted femininity, inspired by the “baroness with a brush” herself.

The Armani Privé Couture Fall/Winter 2022-2023 show began with a sombre palette of black, grey and white, and as the 93 looks drifted down the runway, glimpses of optimism emerged, in the shades of pink, blue, violet, peeking through much like Tamara de Lempicka’s body of work and the Art Deco era that inspired this collection. Most pantsuits and 2-piece ensembles feature a structured shoulder which accentuates the dainty waistline, then sways and tapers off at the ankle. For daytime, sleek blazers and jackets are long and lapel-less, effortlessly paired with any of the flowing skirts and trousers for unique looks and individual styling, while for night time, evening gowns are strapless, weightless yet voluminous, like nocturnal flowers that awaken and blossom. Above all, themed “pétillant”, the collection is bathed in light. Every piece sparkled with diaphanous layers of silk jacquard, satin, velvet, paillette, beading and embroidery, like modern femininity which never ceases to surprise and delight.

For its timepieces, Harry Winston only uses diamonds with a clarity grade from Internally Flawless to Very, Very Slightly Included (unless otherwise specified), and colour from the top three grades (D, E, F).

ULTIMATE EMERALD SIGNATURE www.harrywinston.com Following the tradition of Mr. Winston’s pioneering spirit, Harry Winston developed its own alloys: Zalium and Winstonium. The former is a zirconium based alloy that is extremely corrosion-resistant and lighter than steel, while the latter is a special platinum, containing more rhodium, which allows for a shinier finish.

The blue colour associated with the Hope Diamond is used throughout Harry Winston creations and Salons worldwide. The Emerald shape, like emerald-cut diamonds, serves as the House’s logo, also comes to life in the Ultimate Emerald Signature timepiece collection with octagonal cases. The three arches adorning the case shapes of most collections are direct references to the entryway of New York Fifth Avenue Flagship Salon while the Cluster motif and technique are reinterpreted through watch designs. The Ultimate Emerald Signature is part of of Harry Winston’s High Jewellery Timepieces collection, and there has been a new version since 2021.

Recently, the brand opened a 355-square-metre salon, which exudes the elegance and intimacy of a private estate. The House’s iconic soft taupe and grey color palette is used throughout the interior, complementing classic elements such as custom designed lacquer, bronze accents and antique bronze furniture with pristine marble floors and bespoke crystal chandeliers. Shoppers can browse in the dedicated galleries, or have a highly discreet and personalised experience in the private selling rooms.

In December 2021, Harry Winston also opened its second retail salon in Beijing in a 461-square metre space at the China World Trade Center.

“The opening of our new China World Trade Center salon marks the House’s second location in Beijing and our sixth in China,” said Nayla Hayek, CEO of Harry Winston, Inc. “Beijing, an epicentre for fashion and luxury, is an incredibly important market for the House. This salon will be our second largest in China, and through this opening, we are excited to have a larger presence in the city.”

The highlight of Chanel’s unprecedented high jewellery collection is an emblematic and exceptional necklace set with a 55.55-carat diamond, stated Patrice Leguéreau, Director of the Chanel Fine Jewellery Creation Studio.

To celebrate the 100th year of the N°5 perfume’s fame, Patrice Leguéreau, Director of the Chanel Fine Jewellery Creation Studio, has imagined the “Collection N°5”, the first High Jewelry collection ever to be dedicated to a perfume. From the bottle to the sillage, these 123 extraordinary pieces express the different facets of the N°5 perfume. In 1921, the first “perfume for women with the scent of a woman” composed by Ernest Beaux and Gabrielle Chanel made a sound of commotion. The modernity of the fragrance, the purity of the bottle and the mystery of the name, the N°5 perfume was nothing short of a revolution. In 1932, Mademoiselle shattered the codes of French High Jewelry with her one and only collection in platinum and diamonds. These “Bijoux de Diamants” introduced new ways of wearing jewelry and took jewelry into a new realm... that of allure. In 2021, Leguéreau decided to bring these two domains together with the Collection N°5. “Gabrielle Chanel approached these two universes with the same visionary values, focusing on audacity and the quest for excellence. I wanted to rediscover that creative gesture with this collection, which has been conceived like a journey through the meanderings of the N°5 perfume’s soul, from the architecture of the bottle to the olfactive explosion of the fragrance. The highlight of this unprecedented collection is an emblematic and exceptional necklace set with a 55.55-carat diamond.”

The Creation Studio magnifies five of the N°5 perfume’s identifying elements through compositions of rare and exceptional gemstones. With 100 years of fame behind it, only a rich, unique and mysterious perfume like the N°5 perfume could inspire such a majestic collection of High Jewellery.

LA MAGIA DI UN REGALO DA CONDIVIDERE BEVI ZACAPA RESPONSABILMENTE.

“Nothing could be better for forgetting the crisis than feasting one’s eyes on beautiful new things, which the skills of our craftsmen and women never cease to unveil.” - Gabrielle Chanel, who created “Bijoux de Diamants” 90 years ago, the world’s first high jewellery collection, applying a fundamental principle: giving women’s bodies freedom and adorning them at the same time.

Gabriel Chanel once said, “My jewellery never stands in isolation from the idea of women and their dresses. It is because dresses change that my jewellery is transformable.” Ninety years after she created her first high jewellery collection, “Bijoux de Diamants”, the Chanel Fine Jewellery Creation Studio has been inspired to pen a new story. Director Patrice Leguéreau expressed, “I wanted to return to the essence of 1932 and to harmonise the message around three symbols: the comet, the moon, and the sun. Each heavenly body shines with its own light.”

Out of 77 spectacular creations, 13 are transformable. Star-studded coils can be twisted around the wrist to create individual styling. By wearing the pieces in her unique way, every woman paints her own tableau: sapphires as blue as the night, diamonds of intense blue or as yellow as the blazing sun, opals as deep and intricate as a galaxy, rubies of a vibrant red, spinels glowing like dawn, tanzanites with the colour of the skies. Thus, the “1932” collection also gives pride and place to colourful gemstones.

The “Allure Céleste” necklace, the collection’s signature piece, spotlights an oval sapphire of a deep and intense blue and an exceptional weight of 55.55 carats, a Type IIa DFL 8.05 carat pear-shaped diamond shine with an extraordinary brilliance, and round-cut diamonds. The halos on this transformable piece detach to become brooches, while the central row of diamonds becomes a bracelet, transforming the necklace into a short version.

THE ETERNAL TWINS www.graff.com

The Eternal Twins, two completely identical 50.23-carat gems cut from a 269-carat rough discovered in Botswana’s Karowe mine, have been set in a pair of earrings incorporating a total of 132.53 carats of exceptional diamonds. Graff’s master craftsmen and design team have combined true artistry with luminosity of astronomical proportions in the creation of these beautiful jewels. The first jeweller to receive the Queen’s Award to Industry and Export in 1973, Graff is synonymous with the ‘all-diamond’ jewel, involved with every stage of a diamond’s life, from mining and cutting to designing and manufacturing..

The Karowe mine in Botswana has produced some of the most exceptional potentially risky operation: meticulously lasering the rough to extract a pair of stones of the last century, and when it brought a 269-carat perfectly proportioned Flawless gems.

Fifty-five of the world’s best riders took part in the 12th edition of Saut Hermès at the Grand Palais Éphémère, the CSI 5*-certified show jumping competition.

During the high point of the Saut Hermès in March 2022, the €25,500 Prix Hermès Sellier CSI 5*, the accumulator competition with jumps measuring 1m50, there were 22 clear rounds out of the 53 competing horse and rider pairings. Swiss rider Martin Fuchs (SUI) took the win as the only competitor to go clear in a sub-57-second time (56’’94). The recent European team champion and world No. 3 partnered with The Sinner, a 14-year-old gelding. “It was a bit of a tricky course with some very tight bends. When walking the course, I didn’t think there would be so many riders taking all the options. However, wearing No. 28, I was able to see the rounds posted by several riders before me and I knew that I’d have to take the bends as tight as possible to win it! My horse Sinner was fabulous today. I’m delighted to take the win here at the Saut Hermès. I love this competition!”

DENMARK’S BLUE HORS

Founded in 1991 and with more than 30 years of experience in both the world of sport and breeding of dressage horses, Blue Hors contributes to the improvement of the global breeding of dressage horses with top-quality bloodlines from the best stallion and damlines in the game. The development of the worldwide breeding of sports horses is one of its most important tasks, serving to 2,000 mares both at home in Denmark and abroad in all parts of the world every season. Blue Hors is one of the world’s leading stallion stations today.

Blue Hors is home to several of the most sought-after dressage stallions such as the legendary Olympians and sires, Blue Hors Don Schufro and Blue Hors Zack, as well as many younger stallions who also carries themselves with the promise of a bright future ahead of them.Amongst those, there are several promising sons by Blue Hors Zack, all of whom are already making big names for themselves, both as Grand Prix horses, but certainly also as sires to highly decorated offspring. This foundation serve as a basis for stallions, riders, mares and their offspring to shows, tests and competitions all over the world.

62

TRADITION

Blue Hors horses, riders and offspring have won medals at national championships, European championships, World Cups and Olympic Games. Stallions from Blue Hors have made their mark in big finals and shows, and several offspring sired by Blue Hors stallions are to be found in the top of the FEI dressage rankings. Blue Hors is a training and competition stable which plays a major role in international dressage sport by taking part in top competitions and selling many talented dressage horses to riders worldwide. With the experienced team and high-quality offspring, Blue Hors offers sales horses educated, administrated and developed by the Blue Hors riders, grooms, giving buyers access to all relevant information around the horse’s wellbeing.

When the breeders want to sell their offspring by Blue Hors stallions, a professional advertisement can be created in the database and on the website. Here, their offspring will be shown to potential buyers looking for their next top horse. In 2014 Blue Hors inaugurated a brand new and state-of-the-art dressage centre. Blue Hors has a training scale where no horse is pressured to perform above what they are ready for. Instead, goals are established for each horse giving them time to grow into their abilities. The focus is on quality rather than quantity, and the long-term goal is to prove that a horse in harmony and a careful management form the best basis for a horse’s well-being and better results in the sport. In line with this approach, Blue Hors has created its own brand of care products such as feed supplements, involving the riders and grooms in the process, as a pioneer in equine care and equestrian product research and development. Above all, Blue Hors hosts several big equestrian events with an optimal environment for both the daily training of top horses and rider, while facilitating conferences and events that benefits hobby riders, professionals, horses, officials, breeders and everyone else with an interest in horses and equestrian sport.

Since its first edition in 1943, Royal Windsor Horse Show has continued to run every year since World War II and is now the only show in the U.K. to host international competitions in Show Jumping, Dressage, Driving and Endurance. The feature CSI5* class of the 2022 finale, the Rolex Grand Prix, saw the first to go in the jump-off, Belgian Gregory Wathelet, laid down the gauntlet with the tightest of turns to the Rolex double at the far end of the arena and flying down to the final fence to set the time to beat of 34.79 seconds aboard Nevados S. Wathelet said, “It is amazing to win a Grand Prix, especially a Rolex Grand Prix. I jumped in the Nations Cup at La Baule last week and the horse was jumping really well, so I was confident coming to Royal Windsor that he was on great form. It was a tough course which was very up to height, but I thought there would be more clears from the top combinations. Even though there weren’t many riders in the jumpoff you still have to go fast and clear to win. The Show is incredible, the atmosphere and the crowds are amazing, all of the riders love coming here.”

Captured in a series of black and white portraits and videos, the Swiss watchmaker OMEGA spotlights the personalities of its inspiring female ambassadors. In this campaign called “My Choice”, each woman is shown with her choice of watch – and the words she lives her life by. My Choice is the latest continuation of OMEGA’s long bond with women.

For more than 100 years, the company has produced ladies’ timepieces that are reliable, beautiful and versatile, work by everyone from nurses and aviators, to artists and actors.

Today, OMEGA is proud to be represented around the world by a strong family of female stars. For the latest shoot, the brand was joined by Nicole Kidman, Zoë Kravitz, So-hee Han, Dongyu Zhou, Kaia Gerber, Kiko Mizuhara and Allyson Felix, each expressing themselves through style and words. These individuals from different backgrounds and disciplines have all excelled in their own way, but they all share a drive to succeed, an openness to experience and an appreciation of quality.

The result brings together a selection of classic yet fast-moving portraits.

In front of the camera, they demonstrate the woman they are today, yet also the confidence they have for the future, wherever time takes them, along with women from all walks of life. (Images: OMEGA)

Calibre 3255 is a self-winding mechanical movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex, with patents such as the Paraflex shock absorbers and Chronergy escapement that provide stability and anti-magnetism. What’s more is that the blue Parachrom hairspring, manufactured by Rolex in a paramagnetic alloy. Insensitive to magnetic fields, the Parachrom hairspring offers great stability in the face of temperature variations and remains up to 10 times more precise than a traditional hairspring in case of shocks. Calibre 3255 is fitted with a self-winding module featuring a Perpetual rotor. Thanks to its barrel architecture and the escapement’s superior efficiency, the power reserve of this movement extends to approximately 70 hours.

The Day-Date’s calendar displays the day of the week spelt out in full in an arc-shaped window at 12 o’clock in addition to the date in a separate window at 3 o’clock. This display relies on disc mechanisms; the day and date change simultaneously and instantaneously. The indication of the day of the week is available in a choice of 26 languages. The Day-Date is also equipped with a mechanism allowing rapid adjustment of the day and the date using the winding crown.

Like all Rolex watches, the Day-Date is covered by the Superlative Chronometer certification redefined by Rolex in 2015. This exclusive designation testifies that every watch leaving the brand’s workshops has successfully undergone a series of tests conducted by Rolex in its own laboratories and according to its own criteria. These certification tests apply to the fully assembled watch, after casing the movement,

guaranteeing superlative performance on the wrist in terms of precision, power reserve, waterproofness and self-winding. The Superlative Chronometer status is symbolised by the green seal that comes with every Rolex watch and is coupled with an international 5-year guarantee.

The precision of every movement – officially certified as a chronometer by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) – is tested a second time by Rolex after being cased for a precision within −2/+2 seconds per day, much stricter than that accepted by COSC for official certification of the movement alone. Rolex checks the waterproofness, the self-winding capacity and the power reserve of 100 per cent of Rolex watches. These tests systematically complement the qualification testing during development and production, in order to ensure the watches’ reliability, robustness, and resistance to magnetism and shocks.

A lot happened in 1897: Queen Victoria celebrated her diamond jubilee; the Blackwall Tunnel opened; and the novel Dracula was published. It was also when Harrods Estates opened.

Since then, we’ve assisted the residents of Knightsbridge and surrounding areas with luxury properties – always providing the highest level of service.

GUERLAIN PARIS MUGUET

THE LUCKY CHARM FLOWER Muguet is a springtime perfume interpreted in turn by Jacques Guerlain in 1908, Jean-Paul Guerlain in 1998 and Thierry Wasser in 2016.

PERFUMER THIERRY WASSER Leaves, sap, and moss forms a vernal setting for the lush floral materials that enrich his composition: jasmine sambac absolute, rose essence and absolute.

HIGH JEWELLERY BOTTLE The jewel is made up of two pieces: the sprig of lily-of-the-valley whose tiny bells are set with glittering crystals, and the leaves enamelled in vibrant green.

LOST-WAX CASTING This complex technique, used since Antiquity to fashion precious metals, allows jewellers to cast elaborate, single-piece creations in their smallest details.

CRYSTAL-SETTING The jeweller hand-sets 130 clear zirconium oxide crystals, then immerse the piece in a rhodium bath to plate the brass and make it white, to enhance the radiance of the stones.

COLD-ENAMELLING For the green backdrop that will intensify the sparkling bells, the leaves are cold-enamelled twice, with the second operation creating 3-dimensional effects.

From Zermatt and the Matterhorn, the panoramic trip leads over 291 bridges and through 91 tunnels to St. Moritz.

A panoramic trip through the Alps in the heart of Switzerland, and an easy, relaxing and spectacular way to explore the Swiss Alps.

THE JOSÉPHINE AIGRETTE COLLECTION www.chaumet.com After completing the commission for Napoleon’s coronation sword and the papal tiara for Pope Pius VII, Marie-Étienne Nitot became the jeweller to the Imperial court and personal jeweller to the Empress Joséphine. He also become the most sought-after jeweller in the whole of Europe. In 1812, he was succeeded by his son, François-Regnault who moved the workshops. The Maison then became the first business to move into the Place Vendôme, at number 15, which is now the Ritz Paris.

In 2010, Chaumet launched its Joséphine collection which pays tribute to the Empress Joséphine. Aesthetically, it was inspired by the tiara, a Chaumet speciality. Equal parts refined and ahead of her time, Joséphine set herself apart through her contemporary femininity. A woman of strong character, she asserted herself with elegance, sure in her choices and tastes. A woman of the court and empress of fashion, she revealed her multitude of facets in response to the frenetic pace at which she lived life.The art of the Empress’s style and personality never cease to inspire the Joséphine collection, which transforms the tiara into a ring and magnifies the pear cut of which she was particularly fond.

Creations with the femininity of today, inspired by a resolutely modern woman of yesterday.

EMPIRE CLOCK “NYMPHE À LA COQUILLE” www.apolloartantiques.nl This Empire clock from Paris, circa 1810, depicts “Nymphe À La Coquille”, who some sources refer to as Venus. However, she can be Latona, a daughter of Titans in Greco-Roman mythology. Zeus conceived her with the divine twins Artemis and Apollo. Hera, Zeus’ jealous wife, wanted to prevent Latona’s delivery. Even after Latona’s delivery she was thwarted, as by the Lycian farmers who did not want Latona to stay and scoop water from a shallow pool with a conch to quench her thirst, as told in the “Metamorphoses” by Roman poet Ovid.

The 8-day movement with a wire suspension pendulum strikes the hour and half hour on a bell. The clock is in excellent and perfect working condition, and has recently been serviced by a professional clock maker. 51 cm high, 52 cm wide, 16 cm deep, weighing 17.1 kg, the clock comes complete with its pendulum, key and bell.

This spectacular and large gilt bronze Empire clock “Nymphe à la Coquille”, attributed to Claude Galle, has a bastion-shaped case which holds the movement of this clock. On top of this case we see a scene of a young woman sitting on a meadow full with flowers. She is holding a shell in her right hand which she is using to take water from a small pond. This scene is clearly inspired by the marble sculpture “Nymphe à la Coquille”. This sculpture, which was previously owned by Camille Borghèse, is currently

Beside it are figurative plaques of Tritons blowing their horns. And to the side of the clock case we see two dolphins. The base of this Empire clock “Nymphe á la Coquille” has a beautifully chiseled bas-relief showing us a classic processional scene with Amor on his chariot, and groups of women, probably on their way to a wedding ceremony.

RICHARD MILLE RM UP-01 FERRARI www.richardmille.com A model resulting from many year’s work, dozens of prototypes and more than 6,000 hours of development and laboratory testing... Richard Mille was determined to retain a traditional architecture in which the movement is assembled within the case, rather than a construction in which the caseback doubles as a baseplate, in order to ensure under any circumstances total shock resistance.

“For such a project, it was necessary to set aside all the knowledge we had amassed over years of practice, and every conceivable standard of watchmaking,’ explains Julien Boillat, Technical Director for Cases at Richard Mille. ‘This is precisely what we did throughout our collaboration with the laboratories of Audemars Piguet Le Locle. Shaving off those last hundredths of millimetres of depth was an extremely demanding and lengthy process.”

The collaboration between Richard Mille and the Ferrari teams, most visibly expressed in the choice of materials and execution of the watch, also precisely lent the project the competitive spirit so essential in the most exhilarating adventures. The RM UP-01 Ferrari is an allusive piece to Ferrari’s values, developing sporting mechanisms that are as elegant as they are immediately recognisable. Their models make no concessions and frequently contradict current trends to create new aesthetical codes. The RM UP-01 Ferrari bears witness to this partnership of the best know-how these two iconic brands have to offer in the combination of their ideas, understanding, respective developments and shared values.

Meeting the challenge of an ultra-flat watch precluded a traditional movement with superimposed gears and hands. Richard Mille therefore opted to distribute what could not be stacked over a broader surface area by creating a perfect symbiosis between the movement and case, each ensuring the necessary rigidity of the other. The RM UP-01 manual-winding movement with hours, minutes and function selector – capable of withstanding accelerations of more than 5,000 g’s – thus boasts a thickness of 1.18 millimetres, a weight of 2.82 grams, and a power reserve of 45 hours. To ensure optimal functioning of the going train, the baseplate and skeletonised bridges are crafted of grade 5 titanium, guaranteeing perfect flatness without compromising strength. The patented extra flat barrel is fitted with an extraordinarily fine hairspring and the architecture of the escapement was entirely redesigned. To reduce depth, the small plate of the balance and dart (guard pin) – two parts that prevent the anchor from slipping back during the free phase of the balance wheel’s movement – were eliminated. The new ultra-flat escapement, also patented, replaced these ‘anti-reversal’ elements with an elongated fork with new horns.

Likewise, the index was set aside in favour of a variable-inertia balance crafted in titanium whose six weights allow for fine-tuned calibration of the regulating organ. To deliver a watch this thin, it was also necessary by rethinking the winding mechanism and to eliminate the winding stem, whose minimum diameter of 1.5 millimetres precluded its inclusion in such a slim watch. In its place, the two crowns, one for function selection, the other to utilise the selected function, have both been integrated in the case as movement wheels.

Calibre RMUP-01 is an ultra-flat manual winding movement with hours, minutes and function selector. The movement measures 51,00 x 39,00 x 1,75mm and has a power reserve of up to 45 hours. Integrated into the bezel, the function selector located between 10 and 11 o’clock allows one to select the winding (W) or the hand-setting (H) function with a simple rotation of the crown. Setting the time or winding the barrel is then possible by turning the second crown located between 7 and 8 o’clock positions.

In the course of developing the RM UP-01 Ultra-flat, engineers from Audemars Piguet Le Locle and Richard Mille developed a new type of escapement with a balance wheel in titanium that drastically reduces the calibre’s thickness whilst providing the same security as a conventional Swiss anchor escapement.

The parts that add the most height in a traditional escapement are the dart (aka guard pin) and the safety roller. Both serve to bank the lever in case of shock.

The new patented, ultra-flat escapement eliminates both parts and resituates the banking function directly on the anchor fork. To do so, the fork itself was elongated and its horns modified. As a result, the dart-free anchor is significantly reduced in height.

The escapement transfers energy to a variable-inertia balance wheel, thus ensuring great stability during assembly, disassembly and exposure to shock or strong vibrations. The movement thus offers optimal chronometric precision for an extended period. The regulator index is eliminated and a more accurate and repeatable calibration is possible thanks to 6 adjustable weights located directly on the balance. The fast-rotating barrel takes hours per revolution instead of 7.5 hours. The periodic internal mainspring adhesion is significantly diminished, thereby increasing performance. It also has an excellent mainspring delta curve with an ideal power reserve/performance and regularity ratio.

COLUMN AN INFLUENCER FOR EACH CAMPAIGN: WHETHER IT IS REAL OR VIRTUAL DEPENDS ON THE GOALS! PAOLA CILLO

Professor of Innovation Management Bocconi University

EMANUELA PRANDELLI

Professor of Technology & Innovation Management Bocconi University

Influencer marketing is now more than ever a worldwide trend that is likely to keep on growing in the upcoming years. More and more companies around the globe are focusing their marketing efforts on finding the right subjects that could effectively influence consumers’ behavior through posts on the major social media platforms. Several studies conducted on the target consumers have shown that people are indeed interested into following such personalities on social media not only because their lives are entertaining, but most of all because they are a mean to be always updated on the latest trends and a source for discovering the next hot piece to add to their wardrobes (Statista, 2019).

Even though our social media feeds have become accustomed to being populated by the gilded lives of popular fashion influencers like Chiara Ferragni, many of us may not know that a new player has recently entered the market and it seems to be here to stay: Virtual Influencers. Who are they, you will ask. Virtual Influencers are digital personalities who do not exist in real life, but whose existence sparks and develops within the confines of the digital world. Even though their spread is mainly centered in the USA, they are also slowly entering the European scene, as recent reports have discovered that these virtual characters create an engagement rate which is significantly higher than that of traditional influencers, especially with the female audience whose age is between 18 and 24.

Before further deep diving into the interesting dynamics of such phenomenon to understand how it could benefit many fashion brands, let us take a step back and delve into the sources of success of the traditional fashion influencer.

Their role within the modern society has been identified as that of the networker, as they incentivize electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM); the trendsetter, as they often are the early adopters of new trends; and, eventually, the aggregator, as they collect and then share information across consumers on the market. Influencers have indeed become an established third party within the relationship that links a brand to its consumers, as they are key in shaping clients’ preferences and buying behaviors.

Buy why do people follow them? Studies have shown that influencers not only nurture aspirational desires, but they manage to build a yet fictitious relationship with their followers, who in turn seek to adopt behaviors, both in terms of experience and products bought, that resemble that of the influencers themselves. Overall, the takeaways of the follower-influencer relationship are a strong need to mimic the influencers’ lifestyle and a sense of trust towards the influencer’s opinion, that combined represent strong drivers in affecting one own’s decision on what to buy next.

You thus may wonder how virtual influencers, who do not have a proper life as we know it, could actually work.

To better frame the phenomenon, virtual influencers can be defined as digitally created characters leveraging on the Computer-generated imagery technology, who are given a specific personality, completed with hobbies and interests. Via social media, they interact with their followers and are used by companies as endorsers of their products or services. Such characters often resemble human features, such as Lil Miquela (influencer, model and singer created by the startup Brud), or Shudu (“the world’s first digital supermodel” as described on her Instagram profile, created by the agency Diigitals).

However, there are also more cartoon-like subjects such as Noonoouri, who was first launched by Dior as its own virtual brand ambassador and has now become a model for several luxury brands.

At a first glance, if you scroll through their Instagram profile, you may realize how thin the line between real and virtual has now become: as traditional ones, virtual influencers collaborate with luxury brands (Dior, Prada, Valentino, Balmain, Versace and Fenty Beauty, as a few examples), seat front row at fashion shows, posts pictures with (real) celebrities, friends and partners and they are also voted to social causes. In all respects, they exhibit all the characteristics needed to attract followers as their human counterparts: the

Traditional and virtual influencers, instead of cannibalizing each other, play a complementary role. These personalities are perceived very differently from consumers and therefore can be engaged by companies according to their marketing objectives in targeted projects and campaigns. ability to amplify content (reach), the capacity to create interaction within their community to foster positive word-of-mouth (relevance), the competence to be reliable and to match users’ tastes (resonance).

The major advantage of deploying such personalities on behalf of brands consists in the opportunity to lower the risks of miscommunication or PR scandals. Indeed, it has often happened that scandals on influencers public or private lives have affected also the reputation of the brand with whom they were affiliated. Furthermore, the full control on the virtual influencer “life” would ensure that brands oversee in all the details how their message is diffused, their desired output in terms of content, platform and timings.

Finally, in a scenario where people are getting more and more accustomed to the role of traditional influencers, their virtual counterparts represent a strong element of novelty, that could stir consumers’ curiosity and further drive engagement.

However, all that glitter is not gold, as there are aspects of these digital personalities that may arise as controversial: in the first place, in a world where especially young consumers are increasingly seeking for true meaning and purpose in brands, virtual influencers lack authenticity, while the lack of transparency regarding the objectives for which these characters were created may further be an element of doubt. Finally, their setup appearance may present serious ethical problems, such as the risk of creating new, unattainable beauty standards.

Overall, their brand-new emergence on social media and their controversial nature has sparked a strong interest to research the impact that Virtual Influencers could have on consumers and brands on the longer term, as to advise companies on possible ways to integrate them into their influencer marketing campaigns.

An empiric study that we recently conducted has indeed shown that traditional influencers and virtual ones could be complementary, instead of cannibalizing each other. Indeed, our research has shown that these personalities play two separate roles in the mind of the consumers, and that can thus be differently engaged by companies according to their marketing objectives.

Drawing on the characteristics of reach, relevance and resonance that we mentioned before, our study has highlighted that, given the still embryonic state of deployment of virtual influencers, the latter have a lower reach with respect to traditional ones.

However, leveraging on their keen interest for social or ethical issues, they may be more effective in reaching target niches whose focus is on such topics.

For what concerns relevance, whereas traditional influencers are seen as trend setters, virtual influencers are by far perceived as more credible opinion leaders, as they seem to be more effective in amplifying information. Lastly, referring to their resonance, i.e. the credibility of the content source, our study has shown that users believe virtual influencers to be more trustworthy and credible, and their messages to be more authentic, in contrast to those of real influencers who participate in different campaigns, promoting brands which vary from one another and whose opinion may be perceived as easily influenced by the promoting entity.

Overall, as the line between real and digital gets thinner and thinner, virtual influencers surely represent an interesting trend that is likely to keep on growing, and while their popularity spreads, brands have yet to refine the best ways to include them into their marketing efforts to maximize their potential.

Students are paired with a company based on their concentration. These are group projects in which teams of two to five students cover corporate aspects and functions, including brand positioning, merchandising, customer relationship management, digital strategy, sustainability, and entry into new markets decisions. They are supervised by both a SDA Bocconi professor and company executive. At the end of the project, students prepare a final report to present.

THE ALHAMBRA COLLECTION

BY VAN CLEEF & ARPELS www.vancleefarpels.com “To be lucky, you have to believe in luck,” as Jacques Arpels – Estelle Arpels’ nephew – used to say. Ever cherished by the Maison, luck is a value that has often guided its footsteps and inspired some of its most characteristic creations. In 1968, the Maison created the first Alhambra long necklace, inspired by the fourleaf clover shape. Like a harmonious token of luck, it was made up of 20 motifs in creased yellow gold, delicately fringed with golden beads. The symbol was an immediate success, establishing itself throughout the world as an icon of luck and emblem of Van Cleef & Arpels. © Photo by Erik Madigan Heck

The International Concours of Elegance showcases the classic and racing cars competing on the frozen lake of St. Moritz during entire day of beauty, elegance and passion—en plein air.

THE I.C.E. www.theicestmoritz.ch Over the course of the morning in February 2023, dream cars divided into five classes will once again take part in the I.C.E. St. Moritz—International Concours of Elegance, racing in two consecutive sessions and capturing the attention of enthusiasts, public and media who will be coming to the event from all over the world. The ultimate level of the competing cars flies the flag for the world of motorsport, its past and present. Without doubt, the jury will have the arduous task of deliberating and deciding the winners for the newest edition.

These were the Queens of the I.C.E. St. Moritz—International Concours of Elegance 2022. JET SET ON ICE Class: 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB, one of the just 4 long nose alloy bodies 275 GTBs; STARS on WHEELS Class: 1968 Lamborghini Miura; VINTAGE ROAD RACING Class: 1967 Morris Mini Cooper S ex Works; BARCHETTAS ON THE LAKE: 1953 Jaguar C Type; VINTAGE GRAND PRIX Class: 1939 Maserati 4CL designed by Ernesto Maserati.

The vehicles performed on the world’s most famous snow-covered track usually used for horse races, and guests were hosted in The I.C.E. Village on the surface of the frozen water and entertained by the event’s partners from the automotive sector, food & beverage, and the world of fashion who contributed to this Engadin setting through product placement and new products. The satisfaction of the organisers was summed up in the words of Marco Makaus, the creator and Patron of THE I.C.E. St.Moritz: “After the ‘number zero’ edition in 2019, we had to wait two years to realise this dream, which was born 37 years ago: the result of the patience and work of all those who collaborated makes up for the wait. We would like to thank the Automotive Partner, the Partners, the Exhibitors and the Sponsors who have renewed their trust in us. Special thanks go to all the media, photographers and influencers who follow us and the large group of enthusiasts of all ages and nations who, with their enthusiasm, contribute year after year to making the I.C.E. St. Moritz - International Concours of Elegance the beating heart of a top of the world event!”

There are three major themes related to the participating cars of the I.C.E. St. Moritz - International Concours of Elegance 2022: Cinema, Racing and Lifestyle. They had to be very important cars in terms of collector’s value, but above all, they had to be iconic interpreters of the history of world motoring. There were as many as six singleseaters, eight of the most famous barchette of the 50s, ten road racing cars and others featured in memorable movies. From Alfa Romeo to Aston Martin, through to Ferrari models of the 1950s, 60s and 70s up to the most famous Maserati, Pagani and Porsche, the participating automobiles were evaluated on the basis of five categories by a diverse jury that shared a passion for beautiful cars. 2022 jury members included Horacio Pagani, Yasmin Le Bon, Cecilia Muldoon, Valentina Croce, Frédéric Brun, Maurizio Cheli, Michele Lupi, Augustin Sabatié-Garat, Klaus Busse, Philip Rathgen and Alberto Vassallo. The partners were Maserati, IWC Schaffhausen, Badrutt’s Palace, Pagani Officina, RM Sotheby’s, Pirelli, Moët Hennessy, Donna Fugata and more.

MULLINER BATUR BY BENTLEY

Limited to just 18 series examples, already reserved and priced at £1.65 million each (exc. taxes and options) , this is the most powerful Bentley in history, with 1,000 Nm development of iconic W12 engine now generating more than 740 PS. Deliveries are expected to begin in mid-2023 after extensive development.

The Batur will be the most powerful Bentley yet, with a 740+ PS version of the iconic, handassembled 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged W12 engine. It ushers in the first part of a celebration of the W12’s power, torque and refinement. Engine performance will be matched to the most advanced Bentley chassis ever, with speed-tuned air suspension, electric active anti-roll control, eLSD, 4-wheel steering and torque vectoring.

For the Batur, a new intake system, upgraded turbochargers, new intercoolers and extensive recalibration more than 740 PS and 1,000 Nm of torque, deliver exceptional performance for the new grand tourer. The development of the engine celebrates its achievements over 20 years, when it has been developed to produce nearly 40 percent more power while fuel economy has improved by 25 percent. For the Batur, the W12 is paired with Bentley’s 8-speed double-clutch transmission, and a sports exhaust to provide a soundtrack in keeping with the level of performance. The entire exhaust system is in titanium, while the finishers are 3D-printed in titanium in a first for Bentley.

Each of the adaptive 3-chamber air springs has three switchable chambers, changing the volume of the air spring and its effective stiffness. The driver can select the balance between ride comfort and body control using the 4-mode Drive Dynamics Control in the centre console, choosing between Sport, Bentley, Comfort and Custom.

The Drive Dynamics Control changes the behaviour of the 48V electric active anti-roll control system, which can provide up to 1,300 Nm of anti-roll torque in 0.3 seconds or completely decouple the wheels at

The metallic elements of the interior are a blend of Black Anodised Aluminium and Satin Titanium, completed with a hallmarked 18 karat gold Bentley Dynamic Drive Selector and ‘12 o’clock’ steering wheel centre band. The veneers to the Instrument Panel, fascias and doors are Gloss Black painted, with a ‘guitar fade’. The fascia features a laseretched sound wave, which represents the W12 sound.

BENTLEY HEAD OF DESIGN

The collection of just 18 series examples of the Batur is the latest project by Bentley’s in-house bespoke and coachbuilding division, Mulliner, and succeeds the Bacalar.

All 18 Baturs have already been reserved. Each one will be designed collaboratively with each customer, guided by Mulliner’s in-house design team, then handcrafted at Bentley’s factory in Crewe, with first deliveries expected in mid-2023.

either end of each axle. The anti-roll control system can be used to adjust the roll stiffness from front to rear, giving the Batur sharper turn-in and greater ability to balance the car on the throttle when in Sport mode.

Overall traction and cornering grip is maximised through the use of an electronic Limited Slip Differential (eLSD) that actively vectors drive torque across the chassis. This is complemented by torque vectoring by brake, whereby the car can lightly brake the inside rear wheel on turn-in for greater front-axle response, and also lightly brake both inside wheels on corner exit to move power across to the outside, loaded wheels for better traction.

Braking is via Bentley’s CSiC (Carbon-Silicon-Carbide) braking system, with 440 mm front and 410 mm rear discs, matched with 10-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers. The Batur rides on bespoke 22” wheels with Pirelli tyres. Model shown on these pages is in a pre-production state.

FERRARI 499P

The prototype with 4-wheel drive, twin-turbocharged V6 engine and an electric power unit delivering 500kW of power to the wheels is set to debut at the 1000 Miles of Sebring, the opening race of the 2023 FIA WEC. The all-new carbon-fibre monocoque chassis spotlights the geometry of the double wishbone and push-rodtype suspension, which improve stiffness, cornering and velocity.

www.ferrari.com The 499P’s hybrid powertrain combines a mid-rear power unit with an electric motor powering the front axle. The internal combustion engine (ICE) has a maximum regulation-limited output to the wheels of 500 kW (680 cv) and is derived from the road-going twin-turbo V6 family. The ICE has undergone a thorough overhaul by Ferrari’s engineers, aimed both at developing ad hoc solutions for the prototype and lightening the overall weight. The engine is load-bearing and therefore performs a valuable structural function, compared to the versions fitted to competition GT cars, where the engine is mounted onto the car’s rear sub-chassis. Another integral part of the hybrid powertrain is the ERS – Energy Recovery System – with a maximum power output of 200 kW (272 cv). The electric motor is equipped with a differential and is driven by a battery that is recharged during deceleration and braking, requiring no external power source. The battery pack, with a nominal voltage of 900v, benefits from experience honed in Formula 1, although it was purpose-built for the project. The 499P’s overall maximum power output is 500 kW (680 cv) and the powertrain is coupled to a 7-speed sequential gearbox.

NEW LAMBORGHINI URUS S

With an improved acceleration from zero to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds and top speed of 305 km/h, the new Urus S delivers power increased to 666 CV, thanks to the 4.0-litre V8 twin-turbo engine producing 850 Nm of torque. It has six drive modes plus EGO mode for a super SUV experience in every environment.

Automobili Lamborghini announces the Urus S[1]: the successor to the original Urus that established a new Super SUV niche in the luxury segment. The Urus S delivers increased power combined with luxurious versatility and presence to confirm its status as the ultimate lifestyle Lamborghini Super SUV, alongside the new Urus Performante for those seeking maximum sports performance.

“The Urus has proven its appeal for those seeking the decisive combination of the sportiest SUV and a Lamborghini to drive every day: the Urus S sits perfectly alongside the new Urus Performante, for those choosing the purest sublimation of performance, luxury and versatility,” said Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “The Urus’ commercial success, with more than 20,000 vehicles produced, is testament to its credentials as the first and enduring Super SUV: the Urus S elevates that reputation.”

The twin-turbo V8 engine with increased power to 666 CV matches that of the Urus S’ Performante, delivering an improved weight-topower ration of 3.3 kg/CV. Acceleration is improved, with the Urus S propelling from zero to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds and zero to 200 km/h in 12.5 seconds. With a top speed of 305 km/h, the Urus S brakes from 100km/h back to zero in just 33.7 metres. Its twin-turbo engine delivers 850 Nm of maximum torque already at 2,300 rpm up to a maximum 6,000 rpm. A retuned exhaust system reminds that the Super SUV is a true Lamborghini, with a more distinct sound at start-up and a sharper note in each drive mode.

The Urus’ chassis with adaptive air suspension ensures super sports driving but smooth handling on road surfaces in STRADA, SPORT,

The Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae celebrates the Lamborghini Aventador’s complex yet elegant lines and surfaces: the culmination of Lamborghini’s aspirated-V12 design legacy. Paying homage to the benchmark performance of the SVJ and the ageless super sports elegance of the S model, it takes the best components of both to create a perfect balance between performance and dynamism with an enduring sophistication. The Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae Roadster is launched in Blu Tawaret and Blu Nethuns with the roof panels in high gloss black carbon fiber. The driver and passenger environment is just as refined: the customizable TFT digital dashboard displays driver modes as well as controlling in-car connectivity.

The drive modes allow the pilot to select not only STRADA, SPORT and CORSA dynamic options, but in EGO mode choose their own parameters for optimum set-up of the Lamborghini active suspension (LMS), traction controls (engine, gearbox and 4-wheel drive) as well as steering. Lateral control is optimised through 4-wheel steering, introduced on the Aventador S. LDS on the front axle is calibrated for sharp turn-in and integrate with the active rear-wheel steering on the rear axle: separate actuators respond in five milliseconds to drivers’ steering movements, allowing a real-time adjustment to steering angles enhancing cornering properties.

The front bumper’s airducts and side cooling inlet reduce aerodynamic interference from the front tires and optimise wake flow to the rear radiator.

The active aero system’s rear wing moves into three positions – closed, ‘maximum performance’ and ‘maximum handling’ - dependent on speed and the drive mode selected, optimizing the car’s overall balance and working with vortex generators created in the front and rear of the chassis’ underside to maximise air flow and assist with brake cooling.

Transmission is via Lamborghini’s lightweight Independent Shifting Rod (ISR) 7-speed shifting system, providing robotised gearshifts in up to 50 milliseconds.

The LP 780-4 Ultimae’s design adopts a specific front bumper concept for increased aero load on the front, with longitudinal performance similar to the SVJ. The ESC is calibrated for fast, precise traction control and vehicle dynamics, recognizing and adapting to differences in grip, including on low-grip surfaces such as snow and ice. The permanent four-wheel drive, due to the rear-wheel steering, is calibrated to allow more torque to the rear axle so that when powering off, less torque is shifted to the front axle to allow sporty but safe over-steer behavior. The systems are managed by Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Attiva (LDVA) via sensors.

A new palette for exterior and interior is created for owners of the 350 coupés and 250 roadsters numbered editions of the Ultimae, offering a refined yet dynamic, elegant yet distinctive representation of the last Aventador.

Its silhouette, clean and unfettered, is as recognizable and timeless an outline as other V12 Lamborghini classics. The new collection of tone-on-tone colours are elegant while recalling the Aventador’s powerful original design cues taken from the world of aeronautics. Besides 18 standard colours, over 300 more are available through Lamborghini Ad Personam.

To mark the introduction of Phantom Series II and to illustrate Rolls-Royce’s Bespoke capability, the marque has created Phantom Platino, named after the silver-white finish of platinum.

PHANTOM PLATINO “Phantom occupies an unrivalled position at the very apex of the luxury world. As our pinnacle product, it represents the very best of RollsRoyce design, engineering and craftsmanship – a perfect blend of vision, creativity, the finest materials, skill, patience and precision. With Phantom Series II, we have retained and carefully protected everything our clients love about this superlative and luxurious item; subtle, yet meaningful enhancements reflect their evolving tastes and requirements.Phantom has always been viewed as the ‘ best car in the world’: our Bespoke capabilities mean that, for our clients, it can be the best car for their world, too,” states Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.

Phantom Platino introduces materials other than leather with rear seats upholstered in fabric. The beautiful tone-on-tone of Platino’s interior is achieved by combining two differing fabrics: one created in an Italian mill for its durable yet luxurious appearance, the other derived from bamboo fibres, selected for its lustrous finish.

A new polished horizontal line between the daytime running lights above the Pantheon Grille gives Phantom an assertive modernity, reflecting its driverfocused character. A subtle geometric change to the Pantheon Grille makes the ‘RR’ Badge of Honour and Spirit of Ecstasy mascot more prominent when viewed from the front. The grille itself is now illuminated, a feature debuted and popularised in Ghost. The headlights are graced with intricate laser-cut bezel starlights, creating a visual connection with the Starlight Headliner inside, and adding further surprise and delight to Phantom’s nighttime presence. Phantom’s side profile retains the signature short front and long rear overhang, long wheelbase and broad c-pillar, the latter giving greater privacy for occupants. The silhouette preserves the key lines running from the Spirit of Ecstasy to the tapering rear tail. The ‘split-belt’ line begins at the front fender and curves gently towards the rear door, emphasising the car’s long dash-to-axle proportions, before falling gently towards the lantern-like rear lamps. The heavily undercut ‘waft line’ creates a strong shadow, visually signalling the ‘Magic Carpet Ride’. The side profile is further enhanced with a suite of new wheels. A 3D, milled, stainless steel wheel with triangular facets is available to commission in a fully or part-polished finish. Alternatively, Phantom may be graced with a disc wheel that recalls the romance of 1920s Rolls-Royce motor cars, produced in both polished stainless steel and black lacquer, perfectly encapsulating the sense of flight on land.

7-SPEED PORSCHE DOPPELKUPPLUNG

The 4.0-litre 6-cylinder boxer engine of up to 386 kW (525 PS) has new camshafts, with a single-throttle intake system and rigid valve drive from motorsport. The 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung has a shorter overall gear ratio. The 911 GT3 RS goes from zero to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and reaches a top speed of 296 km/h in seventh gear.

Continuously adjustable wing elements in the front and on the two-part rear wing, in combination with a number of other aerodynamic measures, provide 409 kg of total downforce at 200 km/h. This means that the new 911 GT3 RS generates twice as much downforce as its 991.2-generation predecessor and three times as much as a current 911 GT3.

At 285 km/h, total downforce is 860 kg.

The new 911 GT3 RS showcases many functional aerodynamic elements. The swan-neck-supported rear wing is significantly larger, as the rear wing consists of a fixed main wing and an upper, hydraulically adjustable part. For the first time on a Porsche production vehicle, the upper edge of the rear wing is higher than the car’s roof. Instead of a front spoiler, there is a front splitter that divides the air flowing over and underneath. Sideblades accurately direct air outwards.

Front wheel arch ventilation is provided via louvred openings in the front wings. Inlets behind the front wheels reduce the dynamic pressure in the wheel arches. Sideblades behind the intake guides air to the side of the vehicle, while air from the centrally positioned radiator flows out via large nostrils on the front lid. Fins on the roof also direct the air away, ensuring cooler intake temperatures in the rear.

184

AUTOMOTIVE

The openings in the rear side panel are used exclusively to improve aerodynamics and not to draw in process air. The rear wheel arch features an intake and a sideblade for optimised airflow. The rear diffuser comes from the 911 GT3 and has been slightly adapted. The multi-link rear axle has been adjusted with modified spring rates. The driver assistance systems and rear-axle steering have an even more dynamic set-up.

PORSCHE 911 GT3 RS

CENTRAL RADIATOR

CONCEPT AT THE CAR’S NOSE IS INSPIRED BY THE MOTORSPORT WORLD, FREEING UP THE SIDES FOR EVEN MORE AERODYNAMIC FEATURES.

A drag reduction system (DRS) is fitted in a production Porsche for the first time. To achieve low drag and higher speeds on straight sections of the track, the DRS allows the wings to be flattened out at the push of a button, within a specific operating range. Airbrake is activated during emergency braking at high speeds: the wing elements at the front and rear are set to maximum, creating an aerodynamic deceleration effect that significantly supports the wheel brakes.

Since the wheel arches are subject to powerful airflows, the components of the double-wishbone front axle are designed with teardrop-shaped profiles. Downforce on the front axle is increased by about 40 kg at top speed and are otherwise only used in high-end motorsport applications. The track is 29 millimetres wider than the 911 GT3), while the doublewishbone front axle links are longer, too.

There are three driving modes: Normal, Sport and Track. In Track mode, the basic settings can be individually adjusted.

Among other settings, the rebound and compression damping of the front and rear axles can be adjusted separately and in several stages. The rear differential can also be adjusted via rotary controls on the steering wheel. This is done quickly and intuitively with an operating and display concept also borrowed from motorsport.

AUDI ENTERS FORMULA 1

From 2026, electric power output for the power units, with an electric motor, battery, control electronics and a combustion engine, will increase sharply and have an output of 400 kW (544 hp). The 1.6-liter turbo engines run on advanced sustainable fuel – also a prerequisite for Audi’s entry into the series.

Oliver Hoffmann, Member of the Board for Technical Development, says: “In view of the major technological leaps that the series is making towards sustainability in 2026, we can speak of a new Formula 1. Formula 1 is transforming, and Audi wants to actively support this journey. A close link between our Formula 1 project and AUDI AG’s Technical Development department will enable synergies.”

“Motorsport is an integral part of Audi’s DNA,” says Markus Duesmann, Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG. “Formula 1 is both a global stage for our brand and a highly challenging development laboratory. The combination of high performance and competition is always a driver of innovation and technology transfer in our industry.

With the new rules, now is the right time for us to get involved. After all, Formula 1 and Audi both pursue clear sustainability goals.”

The key to getting involved is the world’s most popular racing series is the clear plan to become more sustainable and cost-efficient. The new technical rules, which will apply from 2026, focus on greater electrification and advanced sustainable fuel. In addition to the existing cap on costs for teams, a cost cap for power unit manufacturers will be introduced in 2023. In addition, Formula 1 has set itself the ambitious goal of being a carbon-neutral racing series by 2030.

The power unit will be built at Audi Sport’s state-of-the-art Competence Center Motorsport in Neuburg an der Donau, not far from AUDI AG’s company headquarters in Ingolstadt. “For the development and manufacture of the Formula 1 power train, we will build on the valuable expertise of our motorsport employees, continue to invest in our motorsports center, and also recruit highly specialized professionals,”

The power unit will be built at Audi Sport’s Competence Center Motorsport in Neuburg an der Donau. “For the development and manufacture of the Formula 1 power train, we will build on the valuable expertise of our motorsport employees, continue to invest in our motorsports center, and also recruit highly specialized professionals,” says Audi Sport Managing Director Julius Seebach.

Audi enters the premier class of motorsport. From 2026, the premium brand will compete in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship with a specially developed power unit. The project will be based at Audi Sport’s facility in Neuburg near Ingolstadt. This is the first time in more than a decade that a Formula 1 power train will be built in Germany.

says Audi Sport Managing Director Julius Seebach, who organized the entry into Formula 1 as part of Audi’s realignment of motorsport.

In Neuburg there are already test benches for F1 engine testing as well as for electric motor and battery testing. Additional necessary preparations are currently being made in terms of personnel, buildings, and technical infrastructure, with everything essential to be in place by the end of the year. A separate company was recently founded for the power unit project as a wholly owned subsidiary of Audi Sport. Adam Baker will take over the management of the company and thus the Formula 1 project as CEO. The trained engineer has held various senior positions for manufacturers and teams in motorsport. Before joining Audi in 2021, he worked for the FIA for three years.

This model is a 1:8 scale recreation of the fabled La Voiture Noire. Bugatti was so taken by the grace and sophistication of his creation that he had the second Atlantic built for his own personal use.

LA VOITURE NOIRE This 1:8 scale Bugatti 57SC Atlantic is limited to 99 pieces. Of four real-life Type 57SCs made, three were sold to customers: the first to British banker Victor Rothschild, the third to businessman Jacques Holzschuh and the fourth was sold to R.B. Pope of Britain.

With its iconic long bonnet hiding a 197-horsepower 3.3-litre inline-6, which allowed the coupe to clock a top speed in excess of 125 mph, the 57SC’s Atlantic name was termed in honour of Jean Bugatti’s pilot friend, Jean Mermoz, who never returned from a South Atlantic aviation journey.

The ‘S’ stood for ‘Surbaissé’ (‘Lowered’), which was a major undertaking in itself, and the ‘C’ for ‘Compresseur’, a supercharger that Bugatti introduced in response to customers seeking more horsepower. Only four Type 57SCs were ever made, three of which were sold to customers. The first was sold to British banker Victor Rothschild, the third to Parisian businessman Jacques Holzschuh and the fourth car was sold to R.B. Pope of Britain. Bugatti was so taken by the grace and sophistication of his creation that he had the second Atlantic built for his own personal use. This fine scale model has been handcrafted and finished in Amalgam Collection workshops with the co-operation and assistance of the manufacturer regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings.

1. For this 1:8 model, digital

scanning on R.B. Pope’s model was allowed by its current owner Ralph Lauren, and, with the help of Bugatti’s automotive historian Julius Kruta.

2. With archived images

and 3D data from one of two confirmed surviving examples of the 57SC Atlantic, this is the best reference to chassis number 57453 in existence.

3. The prototype has

undergone scrutiny by the manufacturer’s engineering and design teams to ensure complete accuracy of representation.

One of the most iconic Bugatti cars from the original Bugatti era, the Type 57SC Atlantic featured flowing coupé lines with a pronounced dorsal seam running from the front to the back end of the vehicle.

The 1935 Aérolithe concept, on which the 57SC was based, used Elektron composite for its body panels. This meant the engineers needed to rivet the panels together externally as, although a durable and lightweight material, the alloy was extremely flammable when exposed to high temperatures. The production run of 57SC Atlantics possessed plain aluminium bodies though the dorsal seams were retained for style.

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) published rules for the operation of air taxis in cities, the first comprehensive proposal for such regulations to be issued world-wide. The proposed new regulatory framework covers the technical domains of airworthiness, air operations, flight crew licensing and rules of the air. They complement existing EU regulatory material for operations of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), the unmanned traffic management system known in Europe as U-space and the certification of aircraft capable of Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL), as well as EASA guidance on the design of vertiports. “With this, EASA becomes the first aviation regulator worldwide to release a comprehensive regulatory framework for operations of VTOL-capable aircraft, which will offer air taxi and similar services,” said EASA Executive Director Patrick Ky. “The publication reinforces the leadership EASA is showing in this area of innovation. At the same time, we have done our best to address general societal concerns and the expectations of EU citizens with respect to safety, security, privacy, environment and noise.” Manufacturers in Europe have signalled to EASA that they will be ready for certification of VTOL aircraft in the next few years. These aircraft will enable new air mobility concepts in the framework of the ‘smart, green and digital’ cities initiative led by the European Commission.

EASA’s latest proposals will establish a harmonised set of regulations and rules at EU level for this new mobility by air of people and cargo. The overall objective is to foster the development of a new ecosystem for urban air mobility (UAM), to achieve the safe and secure integration of certified UAS and VTOL-capable aircraft operations in the EU, and to enable operators to safely operate VTOL-capable aircraft in the single European sky.

FALCON SOLAR AIRCRAFT CONCEPT This concept by Lasky Design for a solar-powered aircraft is capable of zeroemission flight thanks to its large wingspan. The design breaks with conventional aircraft design and uses the advantage of flying wings, inspired by birds of prey.

The fuselage generates lift while providing a surface for the solar panels.

The sunrays bathe our planet with vast amounts of energy – approximately 885 million terawatt hours every year. Back in 2016, Solar Impulse 2 landed in Abu Dhabi to the cheers of crowds and cameras. After 14 months of travel and 550 hours in the air, the plane had accomplished what many had deemed impossible: traveling 25,000 miles around the world— over four continents, two oceans and three seas, with the sunrays as its only power source.

The world is gradually shifting towards eco-friendly ways of living, and transportation is one major industry carrying the gauntlet. Solarpowered airplanes are the future in this quest, and this concept gives us a look at the horizon of air travel in a decade’s time.

Solar Impulse solar-powered aircrafts developed by U.S.-Spanish aerospace firm Skydweller Aero have demonstrated what totally fuel independent flying machines are capable of, sans any dependence on hauling fuel or need to refuel by pit stop landing. Venturing on intercontinental flights and countless flying hours, the solar aircraft opened up the world to the possibilities of totally sustainable flights.

Laszlo Nemeth of Lasky Design wants to carry forward the zeroemission dream of commercial and private aircraft flights with this intriguing concept. Nemeth looked to nature to shape this futuristic solar powered aircraft named Falcon Solar. Inspired by birds of prey, the streamlined concept features large wings that curve upwards and a pointed cockpit and tail. “Even nowadays, nature’s iteration of shapes can be a good inspiration for design and help development with almost perfectly harmonious proportions such as golden ratio,” says the Hungarian industrial designer.

LASKY DESIGN’S CONCEPT FOR A

SOLAR-POWERED

During the 1970s fuel crisis, solar energy was identified as an alternative energy source. Sunrise, the world’s first solar-powered airplane, took to the skies in 1974. Solar-powered airplanes, as opposed to ordinary airplanes, capture solar irradiance and transform it into electrical energy using photovoltaic panels.

AIRCRAFT WITH ZERO EMISSION IS INSPIRED

BY BIRDS OF PREY, WITH A LARGE WINGSPAN WHICH PROVIDE LIFT AND

A LARGE AREA FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS.

Another example of solar flight is Airbus’ Zephyr, the world’s leading solarelectric stratospheric Unmanned Aerial System (UAS), with a wingspan of 25m and weighs less than 75 kg. Zephyr relies on solar energy, with secondary batteries charged in daylight to power overnight flight. Thanks to this Zephyr’s flight time is carbon neutral.

aircraft world, this is the Falcon Solar aircraft concept that takes to the skies with its wide wingspan. The concept design breaks the accepted norms of aircraft design with an advanced set of wings that have a curved shape. An outstanding design feature is the inverted wingspan compared to the real flacon bird. Stacked against the overall body ratio of the solar aircraft, the wings are quite large, perhaps to provide superior lift and lessen aerodynamic drag. There are no rudders or rear wing or vertical stabilisers which actuate the direction of the aircraft. Hopefully, we are staring down an advanced technology that makes swift turning possible without these currently vital parts on any flying machine. The array of solar panels spans across the whole length of the wings, which should be able to produce enough energy from the sun when gliding over the clouds. For now, the cabin of the aircraft looks quite compact and it is not yet known if there is ample space for passengers to be hauled.

NEW OVERTURE BY BOOM SUPERSONIC Boom Supersonic reveals refined overture and announces market-expanding alliance with Northrop Grumman and new tier one suppliers. Carrying 65 to 80 passengers at twice the speed of today’s airliners and running on 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), Overture will fly Mach 1.7 over water with a range of 4,250 nautical miles.

The Overture reveal at the Farnborough International Airshow 2022 is the culmination of 26 million core hours of simulated software designs, five wind tunnel tests and the careful evaluation of 51 full design iterations.“Aviation has not seen a giant leap in decades. Overture is revolutionary in its design, and it will fundamentally change how we think about distance,” said Boom Founder and CEO Blake Scholl. “With more than 600 routes across the globe, Overture will make the world dramatically more accessible for tens of millions of passengers.”

At the most recent Farnborough Airshow, Boom Supersonic announced a landmark partnering agreement with Northrop Grumman to develop special mission variants for the U.S. Government and its allies. “Time is a strategic advantage in high consequence scenarios, from emergency evacuations to disaster response,” said Scholl. “This collaboration between Boom and Northrop Grumman unlocks the potential for Overture to provide the US and our allies with an unmatched high speed capability when and where it’s most needed.” Together, the two companies will pursue new use cases for Overture to support government and military operations that require rapid response, including quickreaction surveillance and reconnaissance, command and control, as well as mobility and logistics missions such as emergency medical and troop transport. “Pairing Northrop Grumman’s airborne defense systems integration expertise with Boom’s state-of-the-art Overture supersonic aircraft makes perfect sense,” said Tom Jones, president of Northrop Grumman Aeronautics Systems. “Together we can ensure military variants of Overture are tailored for missions where advanced system capabilities and speed are critical.”

Compared to ground vehicles, autonomous aircraft will initially navigate through uncongested skies, and need not account for pedestrians, cyclists, or other road users. Instead, they will share the airspace with other highly automated aircraft, all communicating with each other.

Born from the collaboration between Abeking & Rasmussen and Valentin Design Sur Mesure, Time, the 86-metre explorer yacht has a maximum speed of 16 knots, cruising speed of 14 knots and 5000 nautical miles. In addition to seven decks, it has special features like an extra wide state room, submarine, indoor pool and Neptune lounge.

“An Abeking & Rasmussen yacht is much more than just a key to great experiences. It is THE experience itself,” says A&R Sales Director Till von Krause. The joint effort with Switzerland’s only high-profile yacht design studio, Valentin Design Sur Mesure, began in 2021, with the aim of maximising the volumes and finding solutions to special features to extend the explorer yacht’s range of capabilities and autonomy.

Valentin Design Sur Mesure’s Designer Valentin Weigand says, “Designed in line with the very first sketch, Time’s features will create unique moments: an extra wide duplex owner’s suite, certified heli platform, submarine, as well as an observatory deck and other fun elements. It is suited for cold and warm waters, which ensures usability throughout the year, and guarantees a stand-out value when it comes to spending time in the most valuable way.

Naval Architect Romain Acquaviva states, “The main words which come to my mind when I think about the process for designing a yacht are: safety, versatility, seaworthiness. Time was designed using a holistic approach. The overall technical aspects were central in the first phase of conception as we needed to optimise

The collaboration between Abeking & Rasmussen and Valentin Design Sur Mesure is based on common values like honesty, humility and hard work. Trust is an essential element that creates the space for innovation to flourish.

And a mutual passion for quality craftsmanship makes the difference between a good design and a great design.

TIME’S INTERIOR IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO

With a gross tonnage of 3400 GT, Time has diesel-electrical propulsion with POD-drive/ rudder propeller, and a certified helicopter landing area. There are two VIP rooms and four double cabins. It can accommodate 26 crew members, while offering 165 square metres of space for the owner and 810 square metres for guests. There are two tenders for the guests and a Solas crew tender as a rescue boat.

Nevertheless, we intentionally committed to creating synergy between the inside and the outside, as the exterior should be designed to reflect, engage and interact with the interior.” The owner’s suite balances soft curves and straight lines that invite you to discover pleasant materials blending with hard surfaces. The sleeping area with a discreet office nook is followed by an airy open space which leads to the jacuzzi. There are two ensuite bathrooms and dressing rooms, with a wooden and marble tub, or a spacious walk-in shower. All the areas inside the owner’s state room are connected and equipped with amenities like tilting glass shutters. They have been designed to have privacy and openness at the same time, while providing a comfortable setting for high-quality rest.

WALLYWIND 110

Wallywind110 marks the launch of a new range of cruiser-racers with super lightweight carbon fibre hull allied to performance rig, establishing a new market for cruising comfort with genuine race pedigree, while wallywind130 and 150 set new standards for large carbon-fibre hulls

“The wallywind110 is the equivalent of the Grand Touring car in the automotive world,” says Wally Managing Director Stefano de Vivo. “It is a very powerful yet smooth long-distance cruising machine – but one that could become a serious challenger in a race - if you felt so inclined. The boat is ideal for an experienced sailor, maybe someone who has had boats in the 6080ft range and is now willing to make the jump to the 100ft size range to get the extra comforts.”

Founder and Chief Designer Luca Bassani states: “The 110 is a true hybrid because it offers the volumes and comforts of a deckhouse yacht, but with a flush-deck that offers the spirit and the performance of a racing boat.

The raised bulwarks do the job of disguising the fact that this is a raised saloon yacht, with the engine room beneath the floor. That means all the advantages of the layout, without the compromised aesthetics.”

Representing a restatement of Wally’s founding values, the boat provides a blue water cruising platform capable of competing at the highest level of sporting endeavour. This is a yacht that can cross any ocean with up to four couples in the utmost comfort, entertain at anchor for days on end and yet thrill spectators and sailors alike in a regatta.

Besides the full carbon lay-up, there is a high-performance carbon rig and the choice of three keel types: a fixed 4.5-metre keel, a 3.95-6.10-metre telescopic keel or a high-tech 4.50-6.80-metre lifting keel. Not for nothing does this boat have an impressive 40 percent ballast to weight ratio. Other technical highlights include the use of lightweight lithiumion batteries and auxiliary equipment, multiple high-pressure hydraulic pumps for maximum redundancy, and a low-profile twin rudder set-up.

Naturally, the wallywind110 also features Wally’s underwater anchoring system, and famous Magic Trim hydraulic system for the main and jib

Twice the size of cockpits in other boats of this length, the 80-squaremetre cockpit is on a single level and fills the full beam of the boat, up to the deep, safe bulwark – there is no coaming at all. Except, the twin carbon wheels and crew companionway, the layout is customisable, with seating and dining for up to 15 people. The tender under the sheltered aft deck keeps the transom clear, where a hydraulic bathing ladder can retract into the hull. With the engine room tucked away below the saloon, the open-plan space can be used for dining, leisure and work. A single skylight runs the full length of the low-profile coachroof, while hatches and hull windows turn this into a sunsoaked living area. The owner’s cabin forward can include walk-in wardrobes, separate his and her bathrooms and relaxed seating. There are up to three further guest cabins, plus two more for crew and a further Captain’s cabin.

Trefecta, the $25K high-tech, electric super e-bike built for military and civilian riding.

Trefecta has introduced a new electric bicycle that is unlike any e-bike you’ve seen. It has an industrial design, meets mil-spec standards, and can hit a top speed of 40MPH, much more than many scooters on the market. The new Trefecta DRT bike doesn’t even hide it that well as its military-spec aluminum frame is as much motorcycle as bicycle. It can be pedalled, but it also has a throttle for pedal-free operation, the latter of which includes a range of more than 60 miles per charge. The Trefecta DRT features a 4kW electric motor, a top speed of 43mph, a cruising speed of 34mph, a range of more than 62 miles when used without pedaling, and a total payload capacity of nearly 353lbs.The use of regeneration during braking helps keep the range high, and there’s fast charging for juicing it up while you’re in class or the office, for example.

WALLYWIND 130 & 150

The two larger boats in the range are the 130 and 150. The 130 is suited to an owner with experience sailing 100ft boats and wants more space, as it has a deckhouse offering a raised saloon area that spans the divide between indoors and out, while the 150 breaks entirely new ground for sailing superyachts.

The wallywind 130 is pictured in the uppper left on this page and upper right on the opposite page, and the 150 is featured in the rest of this spread. The full carbon lay-up which Wally pioneered and develops to this day, guarantees hull stiffness, rapid acceleration and great response on the helm. Full pre-preg vacuum lamination with careful post curing at 85°C ensures that lamination is flawless and weight is kept to a minimum.

While building has begun on the wallywind110, the in-house design team headed by Luca Bassani has been working hand-in-glove with renowned naval architect firm judel+vrolijk & co and design studio Santa Maria Magnolfi to develop the breathtaking new wallywind130 (pictured upper left on this page and upper right on the opposite page) and wallywind150. They have built-in pre-preg carbon fibre for performance, lifting keel system and twin rudders, and low-profile coachroof which creates huge social space. What’s more is that the wallywind150 features private aft owner’s cockpit.

Wally Founder and Chief Designer Luca Bassani explains: “The wallywind150 is the natural evolution of the Wally144 Kauris IV launched in 2020. It includes some Wally iconic features, such as the cockpit protected by the high bulwarks, the Terrace-on-the-sea and the raised saloon. On the other hand, it also introduces a few more revolutionary features such as the forward guest area which doubles as a tender garage when not in use, a truly private owner’s terrace aft as well as a new interior layout to enhance flexibility for the owner.”

The coachroof hides a raised salon that flows smoothly into the cockpit without a change in levels. Three social zones occupy more than a third of the boat’s length, and one of them is a “terrace on the sea” that Wally

THE 130 AND 150 ARE FOR OWNERS WHO WISH TO TAKE LONG CRUISES IN ANY SEA IN THE WORLD, ON A BOAT

The wallywind130 accommodates up to eight guests and 10 aboard the 150. In the former, the cabin can be forward or right aft, where the broader beam allows facilities including a private TV lounge and a vast his and hers bathroom, while in the latter, the cabin is always aft to provide access to the owner’s private cockpit.

THAT OFFERS NOT ONLY COMFORT AND A HIGH DEGREE OF SERVICE, BUT ALSO EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE.

Wally Managing Director Stefano de Vivo states, “The wallywind130 and wallywind150 represent the pinnacle of carbon composite construction for blissful cruising and exhilarating racing. We liken the boats to the Grand Turismo cars, which is to say powerful and supremely comfortable. I believe these are the best round-the world sailing machines ever created.”

pioneered in 1998 with Tiketitan. Twin helm stations are positioned inside the raised bulwarks. With Wally’s original Magic Trim system, the main and self-tacking jib are set and adjusted at the push of a button using hidden hydraulic rams. Beneath the foredeck is a tender well : 4.50 metres on the wallywind130; 5+ metres in the wallywind150. A retractable keel system allows both yachts to switch from performance to shallow waters cruising mode. The twin rudder setup balances fingertip control with easy access. A variable pitch propeller provides optimum thrust while folding under sail with almost no drag. Bow and stern thrusters round out the manoeuvrability using Wally’s underwater anchor launching system which keeps the purity of the lines around the bow and moves the weight aft to reduce pitching.

Wally’s renderings show teak, fine woods and neutral upholstery.

MORE MILES LESS PLASTIC

BY ONE OCEAN FOUNDATION One Ocean Foundation is an Italian initiative of international relevance that operates for the protection and conservation of the marine and coastal ecosystems with the aim to accelerate solutions to ocean issues by inspiring leaders, companies, institutions and individuals through the promotion of a sustainable blue economy. The Foundation was founded in 2018 following the One Ocean Forum, an event organized in 2017 by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda on the occasion of its 50th anniversary.

One Ocean Foundation is an Italian initiative of international relevance that operates for the protection and conservation of the marine and coastal ecosystems with the aim to accelerate solutions to ocean issues by inspiring leaders, companies, institutions and individuals through the promotion of a sustainable blue economy. The Foundation was founded in 2018 following the One Ocean Forum, an event organized in 2017 by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda on the occasion of its 50th anniversary.

Over 1.5 tons of plastic was collected thanks to the maxi yachts present at the 54th Barcolana in Trieste and to all participants of the Mario Formenton Trophy, sailing event held in August in the La Maddalena Archipelago.

More Miles Less Plastic is an environmental initiative that One Ocean Foundation has developed and implemented for the nautical world and more specifically for sailing events. The two main objectives of this project consist in creating awareness on ocean plastic issue while at the same time having a concrete impact through the collection of plastic waste from marine and coastal areas. The initiative is part of a broader Foundation’s project, No Plastic in the Ocean, that aims to fight marine pollution from plastics and microplastics.

The More Miles Less Plastic made its debut on the 20th of August 2022 during the 32th Mario Formenton Trophy, a famous regatta in Sardinia held in memory of the former president of the Mondadori publishing house. This year’s edition route passed between the islands of the La Maddalena Archipelago, with departure and arrival in Porto Rafael, near Palau. The More Miles Less Plastic initiative was activated also on the occasion of the 54th Barcolana, the famous regatta that takes place every October in Trieste, acting as a starting point for the implementation of the initiative in many other sailing events.

“The pollution from plastics and microplastics represents one of the main plagues for the health of our ocean and is a phenomenon in continuous and rapid increase. About 8 million tons of plastic end up in the ocean every year and unfortunately the estimates are increasing. However, we believe that a change is still possible, that each of us can be part of the solution and we hope that this project will be replicated on other racing fields. We launched the No Plastic in the Ocean initiative with the aim of acting in synergy with our partners through concrete activities, such as the one we presented at the Mario Formenton 2022

Trophy” declared Riccardo Bonadeo, President of One Ocean Foundation.

More Miles Less Plastic is structured according to an accountable process, through which it is possible to accurately trace the information on the place where the plastic is collected. The removal takes place in developing countries, where most of the plastic waste that threatens the oceans comes from.

Plastic is collected, traced and returned to a certified recovery and recycling circuit, thus also generating a social impact, involving and rewarding local communities and promoting the development of a circular economy.

In specific, for every mile traveled by each boat during the Formenton Trophy, One Ocean Foundation has committed to collect 1kg of plastic from the ocean, resulting in a total of 588 kilograms of plastic collected.

Two of the Foundation’s flagship maxi yachts that participated in the Barcolana in Trieste, the 100foot Arca SGR by Furio Benussi and the 63-foot AnyWave Safilens by Alberto Leghissa and Mauro Pelaschier, all three ambassadors of the One Ocean Foundation. These were joined by 4 other maxi yachts, the mythical Moro di Venezia (this is the second hull built by Raul Gardini for the America’s Cup challenge), now armed by Gianfranco Natali, the 90-foot Portopiccolo of Claudio Demartis, the 80-foot Marco Bono’s Anemos II and Bruno Marin’s 62-foot Ekita. During the following weekends the initiative was implemented also during the Venice Hospitality Challenge and of Veleziana, contributing to an overall collection of over 1 ton of plastic from the ocean.

The next ambitious One Ocean Foundation activation will involve the solo sailor and ambassador of the Foundation Ambrogio Beccaria that will set off on November 6 for the legendary transatlantic regatta, the Route du Rhum. The route will depart from the Breton coast of Saint Malo and arrive the Caribbean Island of Guadeloupe, for a total of 3500 nautical miles. Therefore, through the More Miles Less Plastic initiative, One Ocean Foundation will collect over 3,500 kilograms of marine litter in developing countries.

Ambrogio Beccaria races on the Class 40 Alla Grande of which Pirelli is the main & lead sponsor.

OTHER PROJECTS, THE CAPRERA CANYON Our multiple research activities in the Caprera Canyon, in collaboration with high level international institutions to increase knowledge on cetacean species and ensure the protection of this biodiversity hotspot. Since 2019 One Ocean Foundation is committed to support research activities in the Caprera Canyon, considered the area with the largest submarine canyon system in the northeast of Sardinia, in the central Tyrrhenian Sea. The Canyon is characterized by a large density of pelagic fauna; the site hosts 7 of the 8 species of cetaceans usually present in the western Mediterranean, some of which are considered particularly rare.

The main goal of this project is to develop scientific evidence in order to protect the Caprera Canyon area, currently recognized as an Area of Interest (AoI), promoting it to Important Area for Marine Mammals (IMMA). To pursue this aim, One Ocean Foundation has chosen to support and coordinate itself with important research bodies and universities, to collect scientific evidence on critical information

on ecology and cetacean distribution: the CMRE centre of La Spezia, Insubria University, the CNR and SEAME Sardinia association.

These underwater canyons are considered important hotspots for several species of cetaceans, thanks to underwater currents that favor the transport of nutrients and of numerous preys which are the base of the food chain. Cetaceans are recognized by the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive as essential components of ecosystems and highly linked to their health, as, being large predators, they can greatly influence the structure of marine ecosystems. However, there are many problems caused by human activities that have a great impact on cetaceans and, to mitigate the consequences, accurate knowledge of the distribution and abundance of these animals is required.

Research Activities As of today, the project consists of three main research activities: Acoustic monitoring, Environmental DNA Analysis and Visual survey.

1. Acoustic Monitoring Cetaceans use sound, which propagates better than light in water, to navigate, communicate and to echo locate and hunt preys underwater. One Ocean Foundation, in collaboration with the CMRE center in La Spezia, will position 3 sound recording devices in strategic points of the Caprera Canyon area, to monitor the presence and distribution of deep-diving mammals (ex: beaked whales). Results of these research will allow to better understand the use of the habitat by cetaceans as well as to conceive solutions to mitigate the impact of anthropogenic noise on cetaceans.

2. Environmental DNA analysis One Ocean Foundation collaborates with the University of Insubria to develop genetic detection of cetaceans. This technique is based on the collection of sea water samples and analysis of environmental DNA, intended to describe the temporal distribution of the biodiversity of cetaceans in the Caprera Canyon area. This is a non-invasive monitoring tool, as the physical presence of the organism is not necessary.

3. Visual survey One Ocean Foundation supports SEA-ME Sardinia Onlus, non-profit organization whose mission is to protect cetaceans in the Mediterranean Sea and that implements visual monitoring activities to gather scientific data on the presence, abundance, distribution and movements of cetacean in the area of the Caprera Canyon. These investigations are carried out through sightings on linear transects, photo identification studies and counts of animals that pass in specific geographical points, completely non-invasive observational methods which employ observers specialized in marine mammals.

The One Ocean Foundation and SeaMe also organize visits to Italian schools with an educational project aimed at raising awareness of the importance of the marine ecosystem, with a specific focus on cetaceans and the Canyon of Caprera project.

For the students of the institutions involved it is a chance to discover the cetaceans that live off Sardinia, and to understand the impact noise pollution and waste from human activity have on the fragile ecosystems they inhabit.

Through data, images, videos and firsthand accounts, students are able to get lost in the world of cetaceans for a couple of hours, getting to know the Canyon of Caprera and the importance of the offshore areas that are closely interconnected with coastal zones and fundamental for the development of the population of cetaceans.

Each of the institutes involved undertakes to respect the marine ecosystem through the signing of the Charta Smeralda. This leads to a concrete commitment on the part of pupils to safeguard marine ecosystems.

The Prelude’s beach club design is inspired by a New York-style penthouse. Rather than just a swimming pool, the beach club has a double-height glass structure wrapping the aft and surrounding a duplex apartment. The main entrance through sliding glass panels into a lounge area spotlights a mezzanine.

The upper deck is mainly dedicated to the owner, featuring a long foldable balcony, strategically located in the owner’s private lounge in order to provide maximum privacy without being isolated. The sundeck’s sole purpose is to allow sweeping views from all sides. It is designed with a sculpted central piece which hides the domes from view. The Prelude also has an indoor garden, a fire fit, a bar and unobstructed views of the sea everywhere.

The 80-metre Prelude challenges the concept of a classic explorer yacht by moving the focus from a mere pursuit of the destination to the new perspective of the onboard experience. Accommodating up to 12 guests and 18 crew members with six cabins, its design draws from the sense of space and openness, the use of natural light, and, above all, unobstructed vistas, like a New York-style penthouse. Aberdoni Design also transform the spaces which are normally used for storage into open-plan living areas. The beach club is a prime example. It is not just a swimming platform, but it is also designed with a double-height glass structure which wraps around a duplex apartment in the aft. The main entrance into the yacht through sliding glass panels leads to a lounge area, with a mezzanine lit by hanging lamps. In the evening, the beach club’s high ceilings and extensive use of glass allow an immersive experience like becoming one with the night sky. What’s more is that there is a fire pit and Scandinavian-inspired interiors, perfect for gathering with family, entertaining friends and hosting events.

This again sets the Prelude apart as a unique explorer yacht.

The touch and go helipad is a multi-purpose space. The foldable glass rail allows an obstacle-free landing, and the helipad can be transformed into a lounge area when not in use. The helipad lounge is as much a place to be enjoyed by day as it is by night. The tension shade in the middle is inspired by the organic shape of a flower, with a fire pit at its heart. This is an ideal spot where one can enjoy sweeping views any time of the day, particularly during sunset.

JAY ABERDONI’S “PRELUDE” IS AN EXPLORER YACHT WHICH NOT ONLY FOCUSES ON THE DESTINATION, BUT ALSO ENHANCES THE ONBOARD EXPERIENCE, CHANGING STORAGE SPACE INTO OPEN-PLAN LIVING AREAS.

The foldable platforms that run along the beach house serve as a dress. When down, they unveil the secrets of Prelude: an immersive space composed of several connected areas. The main deck terrace is fully covered from the sun to provide a space to eat, rest and relax under a clear ceiling. The glass roof reflects the waves, whose fluid form is complemented by the wooden stripes.

To further emphasise onboard lifestyle, there is an indoor garden.

Redefining traditional yacht design, Jay Aberdoni writes, “There is an idea of future; a future in the making that is no longer a vision, but has found a place in the now. Unapologetic, it has come to challenge the ideas of the onboard living, daring to steal space and transform it into new ways of experiencing a yacht. The messages to posterity are written within the elegance of effortless lines sculpting fearless shapes.

These same lines define the serene and everlasting personality of the designs, adding complexity to minimalism. These same shapes will trick the eye as they twist along the metal, reflecting the surroundings in abundant lights. Modern yet timeless, romantic yet tough, it is designed to stop the passing of time.”

Handcrafted Sleep, 100 Years in theMaking are only used to de-rope and card the horse tail, cut the headboards and curl the springs. Everything else is done by hand, whether it is making the toppers, mattresses or box springs, or upholstering the headboards. Savoir has safeguarded techniques that have been passed through the generations: starlashing hourglass springs for the right amount of tension and stability; handteasing horse tail to ensure even distribution; hand-stitching along the grid pattern of the Trellis ticking. It takes three years for a Savoir apprentice to learn their craft, and a lifetime to perfect it. A single craftsperson takes each bed from inception to completion, tailoring it to the client’s specification.

It’s a process that empowers and motivates the finest talent, encouraging ownership, pride and, ultimately, an extraordinary quality of product. Only when completely satisfied do they sign, like an artist, on the label.

SAVOIR BEDS, SINCE 1889 www.savoirbeds.com Impresario Richard D’Oyly Carte opened the Savoy Hotel, with electric light, ensuite bathrooms that had hot and cold running water, and lifts, something unheard of at the time. Unable to find a bed to meet his exacting standards, D’Oyly Carte commissioned upholsterer James Edwards Limited to create the ultimate bed. This is still made today, as the Nº2. To ensure complete exclusivity D’Oyly Carte bought James Edwards Limited. At the behest of his guests he allowed select customers to commission their own Savoy beds, and The Savoy Bedworks was born. The late King Hassan II of Morocco used a Nº2 bed, and declared it ‘like sleeping on a cloud’ and ordered 24 for his palace. After a new ownership which continued to be committed to handcrafted process, the company witnessed growing demand from hotel clients, and launched the Nº4. Before long their well-slept customers ask to buy it too, and so the Nº4 entered our showrooms. It combineed simpler handcrafting techniques with the fine natural materials and fillings. The brand began taking special orders, and created tailor-made beds for private jets and yachts, revolving beds and round beds. The Nº3 was launched, more sumptuous than the Nº4 and less complex that the Nº2.

Additional layers of loose horsetail in the mattress and topper promoted yet deeper sleep. The top-of-the-line Nº1 is the apogee of bespoke bedmaking and the Savoy hotel in London ordered one for their Royal Suite.

Savoir uses horse tail, Mongolian yak, cashmere, cotton and wool as they are the healthiest and the most breathable, the best at moisture wicking and temperature regulating. These are often more challenging to work with, requiring hand-processes that cannot be replicated by machines. Machines

The sale of more than 1,500 fine and decorative art objects from the entire Getty collection realised over $150 million, all of which will benefit the couple’s charity, The Ann & Gordon Getty Foundation for the Arts. This success ranks The Ann & Gordon Getty Collection among the top three collections of both fine and decorative arts to sell at Christie’s, alongside The Collection of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé and The Collection of Peggy and David Rockefeller. Jonathan Rendell, Christie’s Deputy Chairman, said, “It is especially gratifying to see the strength in interest across the board from Chinese Works of Art, to English and Continental Furniture, to textiles, table decorations and handbags. The Getty sales are proof that the market continues to value great connoisseurship and that quality is timeless.” Kicking off the whirlwind series was the evening sale of Volume 1: Important Pictures and Decorative Arts on Thursday 20 October, which sold 100% of the lots at 128% above the low estimate. The live auction drew nearly 2 million viewers online and achieved a final total of $79,408,900. Volume 2: Old Master, 19th and 20th Century Paintings took place the next day, Friday 21 October. The sale totalled $33,871,230, 145% above the low estimate. Volume 3: English and European Furniture, Porcelain and Silver followed on Saturday 22 October and realised a final total of $13,408,320, 264% above the low estimate. The live sales concluded on Sunday 23 October with Volume 4: Chinese Works of Art, English and European Furniture and Decorative Arts. Featuring 176 lots, the sale totalled $12,831,336. The online auctions offered nearly 900 lots across six separate sales, and realised a total of more than $10 million. This brought the sale of The Ann & Gordon Getty Collection to a grand total of over $150 million.

FAENA HOTEL MIAMI BEACH www.faena.com The opening of Faena Hotel Miami Beach on 2015 by Alan Faena and Len Blavatnik marked the inauguration of the Faena District - only the second such official designation in Miami’s history. This new neighbourhood rooted in art and culture includes Faena Hotel Miami Beach, the recently opened Faena House – a Foster and Partners 18 storey condominium, FaenaForum – a ground breaking new art and cultural institution by Rem Koolhaas/OMA, FAENA – a residential condominium tower designed by Brandon Haw and William Sofield, Casa Faena– a beachside guest house designed to be a home not a hotel and Faena Bazaar – a unique retail experience redesigned by Rem Koolhaas/OMA. The oceanfront Faena Hotel Miami Beach comprises 169 guest rooms and suites and 13 penthouses designed by Alan Faena alongside cinematic visionaries Baz Luhrmann and Academy Award® winning Catherine Martin, 22,000 sq ft Tierra Santa Healing House spa offering South American-inspired healing ritutals, Los Fuegos restaurant by Francis Mallmann offering contemporary take on the traditional Argentine asado, and Pao by Paul Qui, a restaurant offering Qui’s renowned brand of modern Asian cuisine and Saxony Theater – a two level

theatre and performance space offering Broadway-style nightly live shows.

The sunny days and sexy nights are back: Alan Faena envisioned every one of the 169 rooms and suites and 13 penthouse residences spanning the top two floors of the property. To make his vision come to life, he enlisted film director/producer Baz Luhrmann and Academy Award winning costume designer Catherine Martin to develop the narrative for what would become the essence of Faena Hotel Miami Beach. Together they created an artful visual language that recalls the glamour of the 1950s: stunning Art Deco appeal, old-world grandeur, hardwood floors, sumptuous Faena Red velvet and cool blue tiled bathrooms. Each suite features a signature Faena Butler offering guests one point of contact and personalized service throughout their stay, and all visitors to the hotel additionally enjoy access to Experience Managers, who assist in designing the overall experience from pre-arrival planning to departure arrangements. Sun-worshipers of all ages will enjoy the palm-lined pool area and our beach club Faena Playa, which is situated on 100,000 square feet of pristine white sand.

Etihad Airways has announced its new Airbus A350 aircraft, part of the airline’s sustainability drive, is available to book on the London HeathrowAbu Dhabi route starting November 2022 flights.

ETIHAD’S NEW A350 Formed as a partnership between Etihad, Airbus and Rolls-Royce in 2021, the Sustainability50 programme will see Etihad’s A350s used as flying testbeds of new initiatives, procedures and technologies to reduce carbon emissions, building on the learnings derived from Etihad’s similar Greenliner programme for the Boeing B787 aircraft type. The RollsRoyce Trent XWB-powered Airbus A350 is one of the most efficient aircraft types in the world, with 25 percent less fuel burn and carbon dioxide emissions than previous-generation twin-aisle aircraft. Etihad recently established a formal framework with Airbus to collaborate on sustainability across a number of areas including the promotion and commercialisation of sustainable aviation fuel, waste and weight management, as well as the development of data-driven analysis.

On 20 December 2022, the Gstaad Palace will open its doors for its 110th winter season. The team around General Manager and owner Andrea Scherz has put together a packed programme of events running through to 12 March 2023. Substantial investments have been made in the hotel’s wellness area, while staff accommodation and other behind-the-scenes facilities have also undergone extensive refurbishment. The ‘Salle Bridge’ has been converted into a sophisticated location for meetings and events, while several guest rooms have also been restyled. Snow-covered mountains, homely chalets, wintry forests, and towering in the midst of it all, the Gstaad Palace in matching white – it’s a sight that has lost none of its charm throughout the past 110 years. The Gstaad Palace has been opening its doors to guests since 1913 and, once again, is rolling out a wintry wonderland for young and old alike.

The Gstaad Palace is in family hands. The region’s leading establishment engages in a continuous process of innovation, most recently with a substantial investment in the wellness area. Newly opened for this winter season, the outdoor jacuzzi of the Palace Spa has now doubled in size, measuring 13 by 5 metres. Extensive changes have also been made to the ‘Salle Bridge’.

Formerly the setting for card games, horserace betting and similar pastimes, the room has now been adapted to host small conferences and celebrations. As to the accommodations, one Deluxe and two Superior rooms have been fully renovated.

“The Gstaad Palace isn’t idle during the low season,” explains Andrea Scherz, General Manager and third generation owner of the Gstaad Palace. “On the contrary, we are continuously redesigning our facilities in accordance with the requirements of our international guests...

Booking levels are high for this winter and we’re looking forward to a joyous and peaceful festive period and a winter season that looks to be as lively as ever.”

LA DOLCE VITA The culinary programme for the winter season is dedicated to delicate flavours and delightful indulgence. To set the tone, Culinary

Director Franz W. Faeh and his 55-strong crew will be going all out with a 5-course festive menu at Christmas. In line with ‘La Dolce Vita’, the seasonal celebrations will culminate in the grand New Year’s Eve party held in the ‘Salle Baccarat’ and throughout the hotel.

A floor below, classic Swiss dishes such as fondue and raclette are served in the intentionally low-key ‘La Fromagerie’, housed in rooms that once served as a Second World

War gold bunker for a Swiss bank.

Guest chef Ravi Bajaj will also be present this season. A star chef from England and an esteemed friend of the house, he will be delighting guests with Indian cuisine.

“The Palace is all about family traditions. ‘We are family’ isn’t just an advertising slogan for us, but a way of life. So it’s a joy and a pleasure to open our doors to the next generation of Palace guests,” says Scherz.

RE O L F

ARCHITECT PIERLUIGI SAMMARRO LIVES AND WORKS IN FLORENCE WHERE HE FOUNDED HIS NAMESAKE ARCHITECTURE STUDIO. TODAY, HIS TWO OFFICES IN FLORENCE AND COSENZA WORK WITH RENOWNED COLLABORATORS ON RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS, FROM NEW CONSTRUCTION TO THE RECOVERY AND RESTORATION OF VILLAS AND BUILDINGS. THE TEAM ALSO CREATES SPAS, SHOWROOMS AND EXCLUSIVE HOMES. THROUGH IN-DEPTH STUDY, THEIR PROJECTS EMPHASISE EXPRESSIVE LANGUAGE, HIGH SENSITIVITY FOR DETAILS, THE RESEARCH OF INNOVATIVE MATERIALS AND DESIGN QUALITIES OF LIGHTING.

A villa from the Renaissance period which once belonged to Florence’s Capponi family has been completely restored by Sammarro Architecture Studio. Pier Capponi, the head of the Florentine Republic in the late 1400s, stood up to France’s threat to invade his city. According to a historical anecdote, the King of France declared war on Florence with the words ‘we shall sound our trumpets’. Pier Capponi replied ‘if you play your trumpets, we will ring our bells’. And France retreated. In the 1550s, the young Ludovico Capponi was immortalised in a portrait by the Renaissance poet and painter Agnolo Bronzino. Today, the painting is part of the Frick Collection in New York.

This was is of Florence’s most important historical palaces from the 15th century which once belonged to the Capponi family. Circa 1700, the villa became the property of Lady Scott of Ancrum, daughter of the Duke of Portland and greatgrandmother of Queen Elizabeth II. The villa was then passed on to the Price family in 1918. Queen Mother Elizabeth of England visited the villa when she was a child and also spent holidays there.

Located on the Pian de Giullari hills, the villa became the subject of a restoration project that sought to create an elegant yet contemporary environment, where the refinement of materials maintains an original feel.

The Renaissance villa is part of a large complex with swimming pool and Italian garden.

From here, the view over Florence is superb. In fact, the incomparable vistas of the Renaissance city inspired poets such as Eugenio Montale and Ugo Foscolo, who frequented this residence so beloved by the city’s noble families.

348

TRAVEL

The villa spanning approximately 2600 square metres comprises several buildings, overlooking the immense Italian-style garden and, in the distance, Florence.

One of the project’s main challenges—the imposing original tower is a good example of this—was to keep an on-going dialogue between the pre-exiting structure and contemporary lifestyle.

Its objective was to make sure that the historical architecture was enhanced through the use of custom-designed furnishings and icons that had a minimalistic but distinctive character.

In particular, the frescoed wooden ceilings, floors and fireplaces from the 1400s in different rooms, as well as the doors with stone frames, have been all restored to their original splendour.

One of the most important spaces within the villa is the living room.

This is the project’s focal point, dominated by a large leather sofa resting on a carpet, providing a serene environment for relaxation, and a welcoming setting for family

and friends to gather.

Another area for entertaining friends and spending quality time with family members is without doubt the dining room. The project has succeeded in maintaining the original architectural elements and enhanced their aesthetic by inserting modern furnishings in order to create a finely restored environment.

Warm neutral colours in the master bedroom further accentuate the architectural features and decorations teeming with precious details. The vanity corner and an open walk-in closet with sleek lines complete the private space, emphasised by a careful study of light, leading to the adjacent master bathroom with spa.

There is much charm and wonder outside the house as well. The Italian-style garden can rightfully claim the term “secret garden” which offers the senses something to marvel at.

Every space and piece of furniture within the home invites discovery, admiration and enjoyment of this Renaissance villa.

A careful study of light with the spa bathroom adjacent to the master bedroom emphasises sleek lines and simple shapes of the furnishings and decorations.

Once you have crossed the threshold of the Four Seasons Hotel Firenze, in fact, your concept of beauty will pass to a level never before imagined.

A true metropolitan oasis in the city, the Four Seasons is housed in the historic 15th century Della Gherardesca palace, built by the wish of Bartolomeo Scala in 1472, a close friend of Lorenzo Il Magnifico, and designed by Giuliano da Sangallo. Conceived as the first city resort in Italy, the historic Palazzo has seen different properties over the centuries, up to present day, where the magnificence of the past has been further enriched by all the modern comforts of 5-star hospitality- luxury.

But, the Four Seasons is not a show for the exclusive use of hotel guests: the Four Seasons is Florence and it is to you and to all those who gravitate to you for longer or shorter periods that opens its doors, in the inclusion project that wants to ensure that this historical heritage is within the reach of all citizens. After centuries the wonderful garden of the Gherardesca has reopened its doors to the city and you will never have the sensation of austerity that sometimes is felt in the big luxury hotels. The rooms are full, they are alive, and the Atrium Bar and the Palagio are now a favorite meeting point for the city and its inhabitants.

You can breathe Renaissance air at the Four Seasons, in every corner of the common areas, rooms and suites. The sumptuousness of the decorations, the frescoes, the statues, the stuccos, the original works of art, the perfectly preserved bas-reliefs, the Oriental wallpaper hand painted in silk are all details that will flow in your head, but there you will not be able to assimilate everything together, not yet, not while you walk surrounded by the beautiful Carrara marble.

Then, once you get out, the magic of this unique experience will slowly begin to materialize, one piece at a time. So, you will try to remember every detail, every perfume, every taste, trying to understand if you really were there or if it was just a dream.

BADRUTT’SPALACE

Saint Moritz

Badrutt’s Palace Hotel, in the center of St. Moritz, has been synonymous with glitz and glamour since the resort opened as the Palace Hotel in 1896. Illustrious guests have included Audrey Hepburn, Marlene Dietrich and Charlie Chaplin, and today’s jet set continues to embrace the luxurious vibe. Le Grand Hall, the spacious lobby, is a favorite see-and be-seen, whether après-ski or during the summertime when the hotel bustles with wellness seekers who come for the region’s magnificent landscapes, as well as for the hotel’s renowned spa, the Palace Wellness. Everything at Badrutt’s Palace Hotel is high-profile and big name.

Each of the rooms and suites comes with personalized butler service, and King’s Club is St. Moritz’s most buzzed-about nightclub.

History with Modern Spirit.

Baxdrutt’s history has been written by one family, true pioneers of innovation and luxury. Since 1896, Badrutt’s Palace Hotel remains one of the world’s most legendary hotels – and continuously operated by the Badrutt family.

The hotel opened in 1896 by Caspar Badrutt, with a chateau theme reflecting the romantic era of the “Grand European Tour”. Caspar was the second son of Johannes Badrutt, who himself founded winter tourism in St. Moritz as the result of a bet. Like his father, Caspar had a strong sense of family and invited his son Hans back to St. Moritz and the hotel in 1898; at the time, Hans was traveling abroad to gain hotel experience. Hans took over management of the hotel in 1904.

Inheriting the Badrutt pioneering spirit, Hans was courageous.

On his travels, he took the Palace name with him far beyond the borders of Europe, establishing the foundations for its fashionable reputation all over the world. When Hans died in 1953, his wife Helen and eldest son Andrea took over the reins. Helen introduced the “Palace Balls” while Andrea welcomed the American jet set with open arms. The hotel’s international reputation soared.

In the following years, brothers Andrea and Hansjürg ran the hotel successfully side by side. When Andrea died in 1998, Hansjürg continued, with the support of his wife Anikò.

In 2004, Hansjürg appointed Swiss hotelier Hans Wiedemann as director of the Palace. Hansjürg passed away in 2016. Hans Wiedemann remained at the helm until 2018.

Since his retirement, he continues to serve on the board of the hotel.

One Hotel, Five Generations of Innovation. Today the Palace is a fairy tale castle where your wishes come true. It’s an enchanting mix of tradition and modernity, where people connect and celebrate with family and friends. The goal of the Palace is to cultivate its roots whilst embracing the modern world, to welcome guests warmly and with respect, with a passion to evolve the guest experience to the heights of luxury in St. Moritz.

In 1913 the International Lawn Tennis Federation decided where to hold three future world championships: on a grass court (Wimbledon); on a hard court (French Open); and on a indoor wooden parquet court. The same year, Hans Badrutt opened the first indoor tennis hall in Europe and hosted the tournament in 1922 in St. Moritz.

The tennis court is now our Matsuhisa restaurant La Coupole.

The Art of Wellness In 1969, the Acapulco complex opened with a 25-metre infinity indoor pool and an open-air heated outdoor pool (which replaced an older outdoor pool). The indoor pool was designed “to see and be seen”, becoming a catwalk for the rich and famous. In particular, tall beautiful Americans knew how to get noticed; they became synonymous with this new St. Moritz attraction. Between 2008 and 2010, the facility was reimagined, with 70 million Swiss francs invested to create today’s Palace Wellness.

Palace in the Air. In 1920, the first-ever flight between Switzerland and London took off from the frozen surface of Lake St. Moritz. A century later – in February 2020 - Badrutt’s Palace Hotel commemorated this milestone with branded flights between London Stansted and Engadin airports.

Badrutt’s Palace hotel moves into aviation with London-St Moritz flights.

With the St. Moritz and the Engadin region establishing strong ties to British tourism from the outset, it is perhaps no surprise that the first Switzerland to London flight took off from frozen Lake St. Moritz in 1920. Piloted by Swiss aviation pioneer Alfred Comte, who was taking British actor John Loraine back to England, it marked the start of an air link between both destinations.

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Comte’s achievement, Badrutt’s Palace Hotel launched its own private plane service from the UK capital to the Swiss resort on 14 February 2020, with a series of flights that month to coincide with the halfterm winter school holidays in the UK. Emissions were offset by investments in global carbon reduction projects to make the flight as carbon neutral as possible.

Appropriately for a place renowned as the ultimate destination for the international jet-set, this was a special service. Passengers on the 30-seater luxury plane were attended by uniformed butlers, who served champagne and an onboard menu created by Michelin-starred chef Jason Atherton of King’s Social House, a fine dining restaurant in Badrutt’s Palace Hotel.

Les Airelles, steeped in luxury and charm

ss e r p free

The first ski resort to be established in the Trois-Vallées, Courchevel is steeped in French history. It has attracted skiers and winter lovers from all over the world who come to relish the unparalleled setting. Offering athleticism and glamour, it is a village for people who enjoy the finer things in life.

The Vanille & Lilas Boutique has set up at the heart of Les Airelles in Courchevel. Its new location allows guests to browse and purchase a selection of items from the Airelles hotels and limited-edition items from a range of high-end brands, with which they can remember their experience.

On the culinary front, this year the hotel offers not only La Table des Airelles, Piero and le Coin Savoyard, but also restaurants on the pistes at Chalet de Pierres, the Japanese restaurant at the Hotel Aman Le Mélézin, and La Folie Douce, Méribel. Chef Marco Garfagnini has brought his culinary expertise to Courchevel with a new Italian menu at Piero in the Alps. Born in the Tuscan village of Carrare, his signature dishes are inspired by his roots.

For the great outdoors, guests can take a hot air balloon flight over Courchevel, or a trip in a Hermès horse-drawn carriage. If they would like to head over to Méribel, they can be welcomed by the dedicated and enthusiastic team of Refuge de la Traye, a hamlet made up of several exclusive chalets.

This season, Les Airelles in Courchevel will debut two private chalets. Located just steps from the hotel’s main building, and connected via secret underground passageways, the new chalets offer panoramic views of the snow-covered summit of the Saulire. The chalets vary in size and can accommodate around 12 to 15 guests. Spaces include a large living area with a fireplace and TV, dining room, cinema room, games room with a bar and pool table, a children’s playroom, a wellness area with indoor swimming pool, gym, sauna, relaxation area, hammam, Iyashi Dome and treatment room, and a Bernard Orcel ski room. Staff includes a ski valet, private chef, sommelier and a chalet manager.

Guests will enjoy full access to the hotel facilities, including seven restaurants (four onsite, three offsite); the Children’s Kingdom; La Mer spa; a range of Alpine experiences; and Les Airelles’ fleet of chauffeured Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

Located on Les Airelles’ fourth floor, the Penthouse Apartment suite has been renovated by Christophe Tollemer. Guests can expect four bedrooms, each with its own private balcony, dressing room and en-suite bathroom complete with a hammam, walk-in shower and bath.

Moncler has been rated with the highest score within the ‘Textiles, Apparel & Luxury Goods’ industry in the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment.

MONCLER© EXTRAORDINARY FOREVER

For the fourth consecutive year, Moncler is confirmed at the top of the ‘Textiles, Apparel & Luxury Goods’ sector obtaining the highest score (90/100) in the 2022 S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment, as of 21 October, 2022. “Moncler has just turned 70. A path characterized by continuous creative and cultural evolution. Years in which we have seen a strengthening of the awareness of our daily environmental and social impacts and of our commitment to progressively integrating sustainability into our business model. We know very well that we still have a lot to learn and achieve, and we are aware that the current macroeconomic scenario and the energy crisis make the momentum towards increasingly responsible operating models even more challenging, especially for the most vulnerable entities of the supply chain. A context that requires more than ever the continuous search for a collaborative approach and a joint commitment of all the actors involved. We have begun a process of reducing emissions which involves the progressive inclusion in our collections of lower impact yarns and fabrics to reach 50 percent by 2025. Since last year we became carbon neutral across all our own corporate and production sites around the world and almost 90 percent of the energy we use comes from renewable sources. Finally, we have almost completely eliminated conventional single-use plastics...” comments Remo Ruffini, Chairman and CEO of Moncler S.p.A.

Sexy and feminine, always a lover of fashion — but a little more grown-up in her attitude and more aware of her power of seduction. The Blumarine girl looks at the world with eyes embracing wider horizons, while keeping her bewitching allure. For pre-fall 2022, Nicola Brognano keeps firmly in place the distinctive traits and visual codes he has established to great acclaim for the label, while expanding its range with a mindset of versatile creativity. Always inspired by the years 2000, he introduces newer versions of the fabulous aesthetic which has made Blumarine a fashion sensation. The signature Blumarine dresses are at the core of the offer: short and sassy, they skim the body through sinuous plays of draping and asymmetries. Made in jersey or in stretchy georgette, they are seamlessly proposed for day or evening, also in new, mid-length skintight options in ribbed wool for maximum body contouring. Their provocative décolletages introduce a nod to vintage Blumarine, while a wool catsuit is sexy and warm as a lover’s embrace. Sensual knitwear is one of the collection’s standouts. Piuminos are made in knitted textures; the famous Bluvi cardi proves its versatility, transformed from the classic micro version, cropped and tight as a cache-coeur, into an elongated ribbed dress-coat, great both for day or evening.

The House of Dior’s campaign of the winter 2022-2023 ready-to-wear line designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri, celebrates The Next Era, the mesmerizing Mariella Bettineschi work that served as the backdrop for the runway show.

A gallery of female portraits borrowed from the history of painting, from the 16th to the 19th century, became the starting point for a reflection on the views that conditioned women from yesterday to today. Through the lens of photographer Brigitte Niedermair, the models echoed these iconic figures, embodying experimental audacity.

From clothing to accessories, the creations transform the Dior legacy by blending aesthetics and technology.

The iconic Bar jacket has technical inserts created in collaboration with Italian start-up D-Air lab, while the Dior Bobby, Lady Dior and Lady D-Joy bags have been transformed by the ateliers’ virtuoso savoir-faire. These images are an ode to Dior’s inventiveness, linking past, present and future.

ABOUT HARIS NUKEM

Haris Nukem is a London-based photographer whose works are rich in theatricality and symbolism. Nukem is also a fashion designer and comic book aficionado, in addition to being one of today’s most imaginative and evocative photographers. Influenced by the Renaissance artist Caravaggio, his work is said to be a passionate study of the human spirit in the 21st century. He loves fairy tales, mythology, rebels, freckles, tattoos, body hair and granular textures.

He was born in 1989 in Bosnia, which was then still part of Yugoslavia and left as a political refugee to the U.K. which granted him asylum. He said in a an interview that Croatia is still his favorite place on earth, and that the cobbled medieval art district of Rovinj, is his favorite art centre: “I love to see people making what they can with what they have. That spirit of creation runs through everyone.”

Like artists such as Alex Clarke, Hannah Brown, James Lewis, Tobias Collier, and Tom O’Sullivan, one can contemplate Nukem’s work through the lens of his adopted home country’s art history. Following colonisation and the consequent ascent of its Empire, the United Kingdom reached the status of a giant, although the wealth and economic power did not shelter it from the cultural supremacy of other continents and countries. With the United States on one side and its European neighbours on the other, Britain had been to a somewhat significant extent outshined by their respective influence on the art of the modern world. But it is towards the end of the 19th century that it truly became an essential and vital agent in the development of the avant-garde, through radical and progressive trends such at the Arts and Crafts Movement, which would become essential for furthering the development of bohemian artists movements or other artist-led organisation during the 20th century. Vorticism is a significant movement which involved artists renowned for their association with the Bloomsbury group. A few British artists of the modern and contemporary period include Stanley Spencer, Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, Leon Kossoff, Frank Auerbach, David Hockney, Bridget Riley

and Paula Rego among others – as well as the YBA generation led by Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin, Marc Quinn and Chris Ofili, in more recent years.

Nukem once said, “My recent photos are all completely allegorical. Everything is there for a reason. The objects or people in the photo and how they are positioned, it all has meaning. I’m really influenced by the Renaissance including artists such as Caravaggio, which has inspired my pallet, and the tonal composition of my photos.” A creative child, self-taught in various mediums, it was whilst developing a small fashion company that Nukem discovered his passion for photography and has never looked back since. Having shot covers for a vast range of publications including Mixmag, Beautiful Bizarre, Noctis and Lowdown, in 2017 Nukem directed Firetrap’s A/W TV campaign. He has also shot campaigns for BOY London, Selfridges, Twisted Tailor, Without Prejudice, ADYN and Glitterbox. Nukem has worked closely with a number of record labels and artists including Defected Records, Good Soldier, Warner Music, Universal, IAMDDB, Dennis Sulta, Jordan Stephens and Badass B. In 2019, he directed a campaign for Visit Britain that focuses on the benefits of living in London for young creatives. Formerly creative director of English Rock Band The Hunna, Nukem was enlisted to direct their music video.

Nukem’s works are now a part of numerous private collections around the world including various celebrities.

In fact, while growing up he used to watch Jay-Z, Gary Vee, Tony Robbins and Nipsey Hussle’s interviews. They gave him the motivation to dedicate himself to visual art. Early in his career Nukem worked as a photographer for record labels and artists such as Defected Records, IAMDDB, Dennis Sulta, Badass B, and Jordan Stephens. He said that David Fincher shaped his outlook on colour and image, and that he wanted to create that same level of communication: “Just concentrating on performance, depth and colour, some things require lots of pre-production but most of my work happens quite naturally.” (Photo: Dopamine by Haris Nukem)
