In the Bistrot, a living kitchen opens up on the room, creating a link and showing transparency to the clients.

A bar is also present, right in the corner of the courtyard, to welcome guests under the luminous glass roof, or in the warmness of the background room. Through a hidden door, a fifteen-seat cinema is available, for children and families, as a special moment to reconnect.

Located right in front of the bar, the Spa invites for a special relaxation, through the sensorial space (hammam, jacuzzi, sauna, inside pool), or through the different massages and cares.

GOLDEN GALAPAGOS CRUISES Full-service luxury travel agency and tour operator

There’s no question that the renowned Galapagos Islands are a permanent fixture on an overwhelming majority of bucket lists – and it’s not hard to understand why. From being greeted at the airport by giant land iguanas resting lazily around the grounds to snorkeling alongside enormous sea turtles, graceful sea lions, and playful penguins, the “Living Laboratory” that inspired Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution is simply not to be missed. Quite possibly what is most incredible about the Galapagos is simply that there is always something incredible to witness in nature on land and in the waters surrounding the islands – the sheer amount of plant life and wildlife means that there are always fascinating, unexpected things to see.

And in today’s pandemic-inflicted world, it’s also one of the safest places to visit on earth due to its remoteness, strict limits on visitor numbers, and proactive vaccination campaigns.

New aircraft for charter Global Jet is delighted to announce three new additions to the Charter fleet since this summer: a Challenger 300, a Gulfstream 650 and a brand-new 2021 Gulfstream 650ER. With a unique 15-seat configuration, the Gulfstream 650 offers a refined, peaceful and elegant interior. Guests will be able to enjoy all the amenities on board with the extra well-being afforded by a low cabin altitude.

The Challenger 300 based in Paris is ideal for transcontinental flights. In addition, the aircraft features an excellent take-off and landing capability. The brand-new 2021 Gulfstream 650ER comes with an extended range of 7500 nautical miles and the latest technologies, including a Ka broadband high-speed internet system.

With its modern and elegant interior, this private jet based in Europe offers the perfect combination of safety, speed, range and comfort.

Hard to beat when it comes to speed, safety, flexibility and comfort The exponential growth of Global Jet’s charter business is linked to several factors. As a matter of fact, we noticed that passengers were reluctant to travel with commercial airlines due to the increased uncertainty and the desire to avoid unnecessary contact with others.

Also, travellers who used to fly business/first class were increasingly turning to private aviation because of the extra safety and flexibility. The fact that, in most locations, private aviation comes with dedicated standalone VIP terminal facilities and channels reduces the potential for exposure as well by avoiding busy airport terminals, check-in counters as well as lengthy boarding procedures. No doubt a contributing factor, too: Global Jet’s new dedicated charter web page that

Many more. Private aviation is no longer perceived as a privilege for the elite - it is part of life for entrepreneurs, TV journalists, politicians, athletes, show business stars and just wealthy people. Many flight destinations are closed to regular airlines, and travelers have started booking private jets to fly directly and in comfort. It was in the pandemic that some people first learned how much a private flight costs and what benefits business aviation has.

Small, cost-efficient planes are suitable for the majority of our clients. The most frequent passenger mix is 3-5 persons. So it is profitable to rent five-seat HondaJet models (https://honda.promo/). These are ultra-light jets, and our company is the world’s largest owner of these aircraft.

Business jet HondaJet - https://youtu.be/yga919s1l1g

on board, hotel reservations, concierge service in Europe, organization of VIP vacations and tourist programs on the Côte d’Azur up to the rental of villas and yachts. Travel is arranged from an airport of the client’s choice at an appointed time, and pre-flight formalities take only a few minutes. None of this depends on the aircraft model.

A budget option is to rent a seat on a private plane, because in this case clients have to adjust. This service became popular with the middle class during the pandemic. As for VIP-travels, we are always ready to offer our wealthy clients luxury aircraft with a bedroom, a kitchen and a bathroom, organize dinner with truffles and black caviar, pick them up from the airport by helicopter and deliver directly to the board of a superyacht (https://scanmarine.ru/).

But this is a rare approach. What is important for most clients is promptness, direct flight and quiet, comfortable travel to be able to work on the Internet, relax, have a glass of wine, and arrive at the destination feeling refreshed. Regular clients don’t even use the manager’s help. They rent planes on their own through the iPhone app (https://avia.app/en/), choose the model they prefer and related services.

They can fly from the UK and Ireland all over Europe, and we provide them on the most favorable terms, at a price 15-20% lower than their counterparts.

If you need flights to the Cote d’Azur, we offer additional discounts. All jets are new, with no more than 100-500 hours flight time, operated by highly qualified French crews, and based in Cannes. They are distinguished by innovative safety measures, increased sound insulation and environmental friendliness. Due to their small size, they can land in the world’s smallest airports, so the flight territory is almost limitless. We also give a bottle of

Will demand for private flights go down when the pandemic ends?

I’m sure it won’t. Many people have discovered the benefits of private aviation and realized that it is an affordable service, comparable to ordering an air cab.

Of course, through Jet.Paris - Aviav TM (Cofrance SARL) you can also rent

any other aircraft model. The company is a broker and provides business jets without its own markups, on suppliers’ terms. Popular models include Bombardier, Embraer, Pilatus, Cessna (https://cessna.promo/), and, if necessary, we are ready to provide large airliners, such as Boeing 737-300 VIP (https://boeing737.ru/) or Airbus 320 Corporate designed for 50-150 passengers.

THE ART OF DESIGN

WITH AN IMPACT

Timeless aesthetics, combined with natural materials - from this unfolds the harmony of minimalism and functionality that MAOMI stands for and that makes the woman-led design label from Germany so unique.

The furniture and home accessories are made in traditional and fair handicraft by artists and creators from Europe and all over the world.

The designs are created by Dr. Uta Meeder. She is inspired by natural materials or handicraft techniques and guided by her intuition, resulting in design products that are characterised by quality, durability and sustainability.

“The fact that I didn’t study design makes me free. I don’t follow any fixed rules because I don’t know them.” Instead, Meeder develops traditions further, in a respectful way and in collaboration with craftspeople from all over the world. In this way, she brings the tried and trusted into the modern age, preserving it from oblivion.

Uta Meeder’s award-winning products repeatedly find their way to various trade fairs around the world - whether Paris or New York. For example, the “Phone Home SLEEPING BEAR” made of stoneware and produced in Sri Lanka (picture above). Meeder always attaches great importance to ecological and social fairness in her products, visits the producers on site and convinces herself of the respectful and appreciative working conditions.

This trusting cooperation with a porcelain artist from Vietnam, a Turkish producer of cutting boards made of olive wood or with the bathtub produced by traditional wine barrel manufacturing results in products that combine modernity with tradition and functionality with quality of life.

Overlooking the outdoor infinity pool, the living and dining areas were zoned off through the addition of a dividing wall. A double-sided fireplace offers visual flow between the two spaces and allows them to share the abundant natural light of the property’s ground floor. A bespoke 5.1 metre sofa in a performance velvet is complemented by a 6x4 metre rug, creating an oversized and grand focal point. A pair of Loom Empire coffee tables were designed with a light oak top and antique brass frame to sit comfortably in front of the U-shaped sofa.

Adjacent to the living area, a small, casual cocktail area was created by adding a smoked eucalyptus bar cabinet by Laskasas and bespoke swivel armchairs with contrast piping.

To balance the simple, clean lines and neutral colour scheme in the ground floor space, Smania dining chairs in a vibrant teal were included alongside a 3 metre marble dining table.

The grand entrance hall was dressed with a driftwood veneer sideboard by Caracole and custom velvet banquette seating, designed specifically for the space and handmade in the UK. The principal bedroom and dressing room, located on the upper floor, feature a pale green and blush scheme complemented by natural materials to heighten the refined and opulent feel. The bespoke four-poster bed frame was commissioned in a hand-polished antique brass finish and sits in front of a mirrored feature wall. The room was furnished with capiz shell Bernhardt Adagio Nightstands, luxury upholstery and Murano glass table lamps with silk shades.

Residents will automatically become members of The Quay Club, providing access to all of the above facilities but also allowing them to use existing amenities in neighbouring Valiant Tower, which include a double-height panoramic swimming pool overlooking the South Dock, extensive gym facilities, 56th floor bar and terrace, screening room, private dining room and meeting room.

The apartments have been carefully curated by interior designers Sheppard Robson and come in a choice of three colour palettes; First Light, Noon and Twilight. These allow purchasers to select a theme which best matches their personal tastes, with each offering an elegant backdrop to everyday living. The homes have been designed in an openplan setting, with fully-fitted kitchens including integrated Siemens appliances and built-in wine coolers. Floor-to-ceiling glazing will ensure that each apartment will have an elevated vista across the London skyline for higher homes or the expansive gardens for homes on the lower floors.

When complete, South Quay Plaza will provide over 1,300 stunning new homes with 40,000 sq. ft. of residents’ amenities.

The development is situated moments from Canary Wharf, which is home to five shopping malls and a wide range of restaurants, as well as hosting some of the city’s most significant business headquarters. The area has transformed in recent years, evolving from a predominantly businessorientated district to one which is supplemented by a diverse range of green and waterside spaces, with a thriving community and an exciting events programme which means there is always something to do in the area.

Canary Wharf is well-served by Jubilee and DLR services as the development is adjacent to South Quay DLR and just 500m from Canary Wharf underground station. The Elizabeth Line will become operational in 2022, and a new footbridge will connect the development to Canary Wharf Crossrail station in under four minutes. The development is also a short journey from London City Airport, and Thames Clipper services link to the rest of London.

Justin Tibaldi, Divisional Managing Director at Berkeley Group, comments: “Launching Harcourt Gardens is a significant milestone in the South Quay Plaza story, bringing together a truly one of a kind lifestyle offering, centred in wellness yet with all the benefits of city living. South Quay Plaza sets a new standard for both design features and wellness allowing residents to truly experience life in harmony; demonstrating that it really is possible to have the best of both worlds.

“We look forward enormously to welcoming purchasers to the marketing suite, assured that Harcourt Gardens brings something very different to the market, ideal for those looking for the ultimate space to enjoy all that vibrant London has to offer.”

Apartments at Harcourt Gardens start from £720,000 for a onebedroom home.

A TALE OF LEGENDARY CRAFT

THE KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE 64

The Art of Luxury

Issue 51 2022

WATCHES & TIMEPIECES

Passion. Commitment. Boldness. The codes of chivalry may be thousands of years old but their virtues are still alive within the minds of many. That is why excellence continues to be the goal for Roger Dubuis. Yet the Maison’s ultimate mission is its perpetual quest to challenge the rules of the game – and represent the future of Hyper Horology as a result.

This mindset is taken to new heights for the latest evolution of the iconic Knights of the Round Table collection. Setting a new standard, the timepiece is adorned with rare artistic mastery, outstanding craftsmanship and unbridled creativity.

Infused with the legacy of a legend, yet designed with the future in mind, it is a powerful statement for the here and now. For the modern wearer who understands how the strength of the past creates power in the present – and beyond. But this story of legendary craft cannot just be told to anyone. It is a privilege reserved for a few. Ones in the know. Bold enough to discover it? Take a seat at the table.

FORGING A MYTH THROUGH MODERN CRAFTSMANSHIP The threat is real. The battle is on. In the mysterious depths of a forgotten place, twelve brave knights prepare to defend their kingdom against the power of gravitational force.

The ground is fracturing, the broken earth begins to crack.

Sensing danger, the knights position themselves against this invisible enemy. Will they triumph?

Bringing a legend to life in the most exciting way yet, twelve hour-marked knights cast in 18k 750/1000 pink gold are designed to appear in flux in their own unique postures. This is the true feat of hyper-expressive craftsmanship that took a year and a half to master. Through the complex art of microsculpture, each character is complete with medieval armour, plates, shield and helmet, while their customised weapons are drawn ready to fight whatever bursts from beneath their feet. Here lies the stage that required the manual handassembly of each and every piece of the glass puzzle. With fine detailing as intricate as this, Roger Dubuis all but proves its métiers d’art credentials. An honour – like those of the knights – reserved for the few, whatever era it’s found within.

Symbolising an imagined scene where the knights prepare to defend themselves from imminent danger, each warrior is settled against a transparent blood red flange developed from precious Murano glass. This artisanal rarity is also used to construct the dark and shiny texture of the black dial. Part of the great Venetian tradition, Murano glass bends light in uniquely modern and interesting ways.

A black calf leather strap – the first of the Knights of the Round Table collection to feature a Quick Release System – allows for easy interchangeability, while completing the luxurious look and feel of this legendary timepiece fit for the warrior of today.

Only a few privileged have the honour of wearing a Roger Dubuis Knights of the Round Table timepiece; a hyper expressive timepiece that combines the power, myth and knowhow of the past and the modern world. That’s why scarcity must reign when it comes to craft like this.

With a limited series of 28 pieces available exclusively in Roger Dubuis boutiques, will you become one of the lucky few?

A secret unearthed, a valiant quest embarked upon. But a legend does not die that easily, and neither does danger. What else might emerge from the deepest depths? To be continued….

FASHION

Alessandro Michele takes inspiration from the historic Bamboo Bag and presents it through a contemporary lens in the new Gucci Bamboo 1947.

The renowned design, now part of the signature Gucci Beloved lines, forges a connection between past, present, and future, representing a reiteration of heritage and an iteration of the Creative Director‘s own legacy within the House.

In 1947 – amidst Italy’s post-war era in which traditional raw materials were difficult to come by – the enterprising founder, Guccio Gucci, with the help of the House’s visionary Florentine artisans, decided to use the lightweight and durable bamboo for the handle of a purse, thus forging an instant emblem. In the decades to come, the Bamboo Bag became a fixture among Hollywood’s leading ladies and the international jet set, consolidating the style’s status as an innovative icon around the world.

CHO GI-SEOK

SUZANNE SAROFF

The current version of bamboo top handle style is distinguished by interchangeable leather and Web straps, casting a contemporary light on the sophisticated silhouette, presented in various sizes and in a palette of vibrant colors. To celebrate the launch of the new line, the House invited 9 international creators to collaborate SAMSON BAKARE

Each one was asked to share their personal vision of the Gucci Bamboo 1947 through the creation of an artwork featuring the bamboo handle bag.

Through a series of photographs, illustrations, paintings and videos, the line is brought to life through myriad lenses, each presenting a different take on the revisited icon. Participating talents include photographers Maddalena Arcelloni, Lou Escobar, Katya Mayer, Theo Liu Xiangyu, Cho Gi-Seok, and Suzanne Saroff and artists Nico Ito, Samson Bakare and Everett Glenn. An additional number of talents who have contributed to the project will be disclosed in the upcoming weeks.

PRODUCT DETAILS The top handle bag comes in three sizes: medium, small and mini. All sizes come in cuir leather, white leather and black patent leather while the small and mini sizes are also available in a vivid palette of hues including bright orange, marigold yellow, pink, azure and bright green.

Phillippa Hardman, Founder and CEO of Educated Body said, “Landmark Pinnacle offers the best residential gym views in London with an offering competing with five-star hotels and spas. Residents can meditate in the clouds and draw on London’s iconic skyline for motivation. The experience is nothing short of spectacular and comparable to high-rise gyms found in New York and Chicago, making it truly unique for London.”

Chalegrove Properties, the developer of Landmark Pinnacle worked with Squire & Partners to design the gym to a high specification.

Great consideration was taken in how the design of the gym would serve to complement and enhance its spectacular views over London. Natural materials, including timber panelling, were chosen to create a warm, inviting, and ambient environment.

Landmark Pinnacle boasts the accolade of the UK’s tallest residential building as well as the highest gym and private roof terrace in London with a very generous provision for amenity spaces for a residential building, comparable to a five-star London hotel.

The gym is one of several world-class amenity spaces available to all residents at Landmark Pinnacle.

THE ART OF BEAUTY

Fragrance expert and Co-Host of On the Scent Podcast @onthescentpodcast Suzy Nightingale says of FOPE Eau 558: “The FOPE fragrance is characteristic and sophisticated, but it becomes part of you and who you are, no matter your gender. It begins cool and fresh at first with top notes of citrus and black pepper that segues into the heart of tea, lavender and soft curls of incense smoke on the breeze. An olfactory evocation of white gold perhaps. The cumin woven through the top notes reminds us of our own skin, and as our body’s heat is conducted through gold, the fragrance itself then warms to the more golden base of cedar wood, amber, vetiver, musk and vanilla.

“This fragrance is a meeting place of Science and Art, and the invisible accessory we wear, which gives passers by a clue as to our innermost characters; just as FOPE’s jewellery, it whispers, it doesn’t shout. Since the beginning of time, men and women longed to adorn bodies with precious materials found in nature, and with fragrances made from precious raw ingredients. FOPE Eau 558 joins this grand tradition as a contemporary luxury designed to work with you, whoever you are.”

Available exclusively at FOPE flagships around the world, including FOPE’s London boutique in Old Bond Street, Eau 558 retails at £220. www.fope.com

David Bagley, co-founder of Performance Events Limited, said: ‘In recent years, more and more luxury automotive brands have been favouring the upmarket, more experiential concours environment in which to globally launch their new models and many of them present either at The Quail or Pebble Beach during Monterey Week before coming to Salon Privé at Blenheim for their UK or European debuts. With an early Q2 dateline, Salon Privé London will be the first European automotive event in the calendar offering manufacturers the opportunity to present new model debuts early in the year from a highly visible capital location.’

While there is obvious synergy between the two, Salon Privé London will be an entirely new event relevant to its urban location. Whereas Blenheim Palace offers a more gentile, garden-party experience where guests can enjoy the uniquely relaxing ambience of ‘Britain’s Greatest Palace’, the London edition will be more energetic and vibrant, high on style and with a party atmosphere.

AS ONE OF BRITAIN’S LEADING CONTEMPORARY SCULPTORS, SIMON GUDGEON’S STRIKINGLY BEAUTIFUL WORKS HAVE EARNED WORLDWIDE RECOGNITION, FEATURING IN IMPORTANT PRIVATE COLLECTIONS AND HIGH-PROFILE PUBLIC SPACES.

Photograph by Richard Wilford - Leaf Spirit at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew

From his semi-abstract bird forms to his graceful figurative sculptures to his fluid kinetic sculptures, his works encapsulate beauty, uplifting the spirit and enhancing their surroundings. With their smooth lines and elegant pared back forms, his pieces allow space for interpretation, capturing the imagination, with a subconscious pull to the viewer’s emotions.

You can see his towering bronze bird Isis in London’s Hyde Park, his ethereal Leaf Spirit in Kew Gardens, and his dynamic Firebird at Woburn Abbey – or view his collected monumental sculptures at Sculpture by the Lakes in Dorset.
