In the new Portugieser Perpetual Calendar 44, we’ve packaged the ingenious complication in a case with a slimmer ring and box-shaped sapphire lenses that make it even lighter and more elegant. That being said, now it’s your turn to keep looking good for the next centuries.

Encased in a brushed and polished stainless steel 41mm case and framed by a satin-finished matte diver's bezel, the Black Bay Monochrome offers a rare juxtaposition: toolwatch utility with couture-level poise. Its black dial features a ghosted logo, a subtle nod to the watch’s stealth aesthetic.

Concrete Chic

In a city defined by ambition and concrete, where each street corner pulses with creative tension and steel resolve, Hublot has found its muse. The new Big Bang MECA-10 Concrete Jungle is not just a timepiece—it is a tribute. To New York City. To Fifth Avenue. To the unapologetic grit and grandeur that shape the skyline and soul of the city that never sleeps.
Unveiled in celebration of the brand’s striking new flagship on Fifth Avenue, this 44mm special edition fuses the raw materiality of concrete with the refined complexity of Swiss horology. Brutalist in spirit, the watch is an ode to architectural audacity—a seamless continuation of Hublot’s decades-long mastery of the “Art of Fusion.”
IN Watches KNOW the
Encased entirely in matte concrete and framed by polished, micro-blasted titanium H-shaped screws, the MECA-10 Concrete Jungle challenges preconceptions of luxury. Far from austere, it is sensorial and sculptural—an object of modern design sophistication. The satin-finished titanium crown is overmolded in black rubber, a subtle nod to Hublot’s rebellious origins when, in 1980, it dared to pair gold with rubber and disrupted the conventions of fine watchmaking. Featured wearing this timepiece is Chris Stamp, founder of the fashion-forward label Stampd and creator of Sushi Club, whose creative ethos perfectly mirrors the bold, architectural spirit of the MECA-10.
At its heart lies the HUB1201, a manually wound, in-house movement whose skeletonized structure is nothing short of kinetic poetry. With a remarkable 10-day power reserve, dual barrels, and an exposed rack-and-pinion power reserve indicator, the movement is visible in all its raw elegance, echoing the industrial romance of the city that inspired it. At 15.3mm thick and waterresistant to 50 meters, the case asserts its presence with every turn of the wrist.
This third installment in Hublot’s Concrete Jungle series—the first released in 2016 and the second in 2020—also serves as a monument to the brand’s deepening roots in New York. The new boutique, with its concrete and black brushed aluminum façade, is a physical extension of the watch itself: brutal, beautiful, and resolutely bold. Inside, craftsmanship and innovation converge, much like the timepiece that honors its creation.
The MECA-10 Concrete Jungle is offered with two interchangeable straps: a sleek black lined rubber and a contemporary grey fabric strap with a Velcro fastener. Each piece is delivered in a one-of-a-kind Hublot Green presentation box, featuring a stylized rendering of the New York skyline—an elegant reminder of the city’s indelible mark on design, fashion, and time itself.
Limited, legendary, and layered with meaning, the Big Bang MECA-10 Concrete Jungle isn’t just a watch. It is a wearable sculpture—a chronometric tribute to the tension between structure and spirit, tradition and transgression. Now available at Hublot’s Fifth Avenue flagship and online, it stands as a beacon for those who see time not just as something to be measured, but something to be made.

Veuve Clicquot’s Timeless Appeal
In the world of luxury, few names command as much reverence as Veuve Clicquot. This iconic champagne, with its unmistakable sunfloweryellow label, has become synonymous with celebration and refinement, transcending trends to cement its place as a timeless classic.
Veuve Clicquot Brut’s story begins in 1772, with the visionary Madame Clicquot at its helm—a woman who defied societal norms to revolutionize the champagne industry. Her innovations, from perfecting the riddling process to crafting the first vintage champagne, set the standard for excellence.
Each sip of Veuve Clicquot Brut is a sensory masterpiece. The champagne’s golden hue and fine bubbles announce a symphony of flavors—ripe peach, crisp apple, and citrus zest—elevated by a subtle hint of brioche. This harmonious balance reflects meticulous craftsmanship, using grapes sourced from the finest vineyards in Reims, France.
Whether served poolside or at a black-tie affair, Veuve Clicquot is more than a drink; it’s a symbol of joie de vivre. Its iconic bottle, glistening in water or nestled in an ice bucket, evokes sophistication and celebration.
With centuries of heritage and an unwavering commitment to quality, Veuve Clicquot remains the gold standard of champagne—a true toast to life’s finest moments.

In the world of prestige Champagne, few names evoke the same sense of heritage and artistry as Dom Pérignon. The Vintage 2015 is a testament to the Maison’s mastery, born from a year of extremes—intense heat followed by revitalizing rains—resulting in a wine of remarkable tension and elegance.
From the first pour, the golden hue hints at its opulence. The nose unfolds with notes of ripe stone fruit, citrus zest, and delicate florals, interwoven with a whisper of toasted brioche. On the palate, its vibrancy is undeniable—layers of white peach, lemon cream, and almond mingle with a chalky minerality, leading to a long, refined finish.
A vintage defined by contrast, Dom Pérignon 2015 strikes a rare balance between richness and precision, making it a sublime choice for celebratory moments. Best enjoyed now or cellared for years to come, it is a Champagne destined to leave a lasting impression.

Perched above the city with commanding views of Lake Ontario and the CN Tower, the Mizu Lake View Suite at Nobu Hotel Toronto is more than just a room—it’s a sensorial sanctuary designed for those who seek stillness and splendor in equal measure.
Derived from the Japanese word for water, “Mizu” reflects the suite’s deep connection to the natural world. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the horizon
like living artwork, while indigo accents—echoing the depth of the lake—thread a tranquil energy through the suite’s serene, neutral-toned interiors. The design harmonizes contemporary minimalism with Japanese tradition, blending clean lines, organic textures, and subtle architectural nods to a ryokan.
At nearly 1,000 square feet, this lakeview haven was conceived with both indulgence and intention. The spacious dining area with seating for six invites intimate gatherings, while the expansive living room—with its glass fireplace and sectional sofa— is the ideal place to unwind or entertain. A powder
room offers added convenience, while the suite’s crown jewel is its spa-inspired bathroom: double stone vanities, a rain shower, and Nobu’s signature deep-soaking wooden tub positioned beside a picture window, offering a restorative moment with a city view.
Whether you’re visiting for a romantic escape, an extended stay, or simply seeking calm amid Toronto’s urban rhythm, the Mizu Lake View Suite rises to the occasion. It’s an elevated experience where Japanese hospitality meets the pulse of Canada’s cultural capital—a place to pause, breathe, and bathe in the beauty of now.

The Art of Skincare: Joanna Czech’s Luxury Line at Nobu Hotel Warsaw
The Rolls-Royce of Skincare, Joanna Czech has made her move, where a timeless approach seamlessly fuses science with luxury. The result? A visionary who remains five steps ahead, leaving the skincare world in a flawless checkmate.
Renowned for her unparalleled expertise in skincare, Joanna Czech has spent over four decades refining her craft, working with some of the world’s most recognized faces. Her skincare line, a fusion of science, experience, and luxury, is not just another beauty brand—it is a philosophy rooted in skin resilience, longevity, and tailored precision. Now, her esteemed products have found a home in one of the most refined hospitality destinations in Europe: Nobu Hotel Warsaw.
For Czech, skincare is more than a regimen—it’s an essential component of well-being. Her approach focuses on balancing the skin’s hydration and pH levels before addressing deeper concerns, ensuring lasting results rather than fleeting fixes. “My products prep the skin this way,” she explains. “Then you can address more stubborn concerns.” This meticulous
attention to skin health led to years of rigorous testing, refining each formula for maximum efficacy.
Among her most challenging creations were The C+ Serum and The Balm, two formulations that required a perfect blend of effectiveness and texture. These, like all her products, are designed to be both practical and indulgent, catering to individuals who seek high-performance skincare without compromising on luxury.
“Everything was taken into account, from packaging to size, to meet the needs of my clients, especially those who travel,” she adds.
It is this philosophy of personalized, detail-oriented luxury that makes her collaboration with Nobu Hotel Warsaw a seamless fit. Known for its worldclass hospitality and refined aesthetic, Nobu offers an experience that mirrors
Czech’s values. “We both prioritize elegance, meticulous attention to detail, and a deeply personal approach,” she says. Her skincare line, currently available for purchase at the hotel, is particularly suited for travelers adjusting to different climates.
Beyond retail availability, Czech envisions a deeper integration with Nobu Hotel Warsaw, including personalized client visits and potential training sessions to introduce the “Joanna Czech Method.” This would elevate skincare treatments at the hotel from mere relaxation to educational experiences with visible, lasting results.
For Czech, this partnership is also deeply personal. With Polish roots and a skincare education that began in Poland, bringing her line home is a full-circle moment. “There’s no better home for my baby,” she says fondly.
As she looks ahead, Czech remains committed to expanding her influence in luxury hospitality. Her dream? To redefine skincare treatments in hotels worldwide, ensuring that beauty is not just a service, but an art.

J.L. Rocha’s Peregrino Travel Collection
Inspired by the transformative journeys that define both travelers and traditions, J.L. Rocha’s new Peregrino Collection pays homage to legacy, pilgrimage, and the pursuit of craftsmanship.
Rooted in the spirit of El Camino de Santiago—the centuries-old pilgrimage to the shrine of Saint James in northwestern Spain—this elegant new line of leather travel goods is a tribute to founder Jose Luis Rocha I’s early mentors: Spanish and Italian artisans who first taught him the timeless art of leatherwork.
Named after the Spanish word for pilgrim, Peregrino is more than a travel collection—it’s a love letter to movement, memory, and meaning. Each item is crafted in J.L. Rocha’s proprietary La Española leather, a traditional Spanish tanning style given a signature Rocha touch by their artisans. The results are striking: functional, heirloom-quality pieces imbued with the romanticism of old-world journeys and the endurance of modern travel.
The Compostela Bag is a standout—a structured frame-style weekender that balances durability with thoughtful design, including a wooden polereinforced zipper and an exterior pocket that transforms into a luggage sleeve. The Santiago Tote offers refined utility for everyday wanderers, while the Asis Toiletry Bag, inspired by Saint Francis of Assisi, marks the brand’s first dopp kit—featuring their inaugural milagrito charm, a tiny metal emblem symbolizing prayer and purpose.
Also debuting are two elegant new essentials: the Dumas Accessory Pouch, perfect for storing watches, cords, and cufflinks, and the Quixote Padfolio, an understated ode to Spanish literary icon Miguel de Cervantes, blending function with heritage in one compact, leather-bound folder. Thoughtful, soulful, and immaculately made, the Peregrino Collection invites travelers to carry their stories—and their belongings—with grace. Explore the full line at jlrocha.com.

The Miami Design District, renowned for its fusion of fashion, art, and design, provides the perfect backdrop for Manolo Blahnik's newest outpost.

A Look Inside the Award-Winning Renovation of Istros, a Historic 42m Superyacht
by Kara Ellis Photography by Guillaume Plisson
Some people have always been driven to leave their mark, customizing objects to reflect their individuality. As kids, we personalized bikes, skateboards, and even shoelaces. As adults, we imprint our style on homes, cars, and more significant investments, working with experts to create lasting legacies.
This drive for personalization isn’t new; it's in our DNA. Over the centuries, pioneers like Frank Lloyd Wright, Ferrari, and Porsche have crafted objects of beauty and engineering, taking risks for the love of design. The same spirit is alive today, especially in the world of restoration, where the "restomod" movement brings classic cars into the modern age with enhanced performance and technology.
When the house and car are perfected, what's next? For those near the water, a yacht is the natural evolution. While commissioning a custom yacht is an option, restoring a classic yacht is a far more rewarding challenge.
The 138-foot Istros is one such masterpiece, recently refurbished to blend mid-century charm with 21st-century technology.
Originally built in 1954 by De Vries Lentsch, Istros was a symbol of luxury and craftsmanship. However, after decades of use, it fell into disrepair. Rediscovered in 2015 by its current owner, Istros underwent a complete overhaul by Feadship. The yacht was stripped down, scanned, and rebuilt with modern engines, a refined interior by Van Geest Design, and state-of-the-art technology like Capstone microturbines, providing clean and quiet energy.
The goal wasn’t historical accuracy but to marry classic design with modern conveniences. The result is a yacht that evokes the elegance of the past while offering the comforts of today. Istros stands as a testament to the art of restoration, a modern heirloom that honors its origins while inspiring future generations.
Toric Tales
In the illustrious realm of haute horology, few names resonate with the harmonious blend of artistry, heritage, and innovation as Parmigiani Fleurier. This revered Maison, known for its meticulous craftsmanship and unyielding commitment to elegance, has reintroduced its celebrated Toric collection, a line of timepieces that redefines the very essence of modern masculinity and luxury.
First unveiled in 1996, the Toric collection was inspired by the geometry of the torus and the timeless sophistication of Doric columns. Now, in a bold yet measured renaissance, the collection returns with two flagship models—the Toric Petite Seconde and the Toric Chronograph Rattrapante. Each watch is a testament to the brand's dedication to blending tradition with contemporary design.
The Toric Petite Seconde stands as a paragon of understated elegance. Encased in polished gold or platinum, its knurled bezel—a signature detail— encapsulates a dial crafted from hand-grained gold. This intricate graining technique, rediscovered and perfected by Parmigiani’s artisans, evokes the craftsmanship of historical marine chronometers. The texture creates a visual interplay of light, lending the dial a diffuse, ethereal glow. Paired with a nubucktreated alligator strap, each detail invites tactile and visual appreciation, a hallmark of true luxury.
Timeless Turns in Luxury
Inside, the watch’s PF780 manual-winding movement, crafted entirely in 18-carat rose gold, offers a power reserve of 60 hours. Adorned with Côtes de Fleurier, a decorative motif that embodies the golden ratio’s timeless balance, the movement is both a technical marvel and an aesthetic triumph. The Petite Seconde’s restrained dimensions and harmonious proportions exemplify Parmigiani’s pursuit of discreet purity, making it a fitting companion for the modern connoisseur.
On the other end of the spectrum lies the Toric Chronograph Rattrapante, a technical tour de force that marries functionality with finesse. Housed in a polished rose gold case, its manually wound PF361 movement features a high-frequency split-second chronograph complication. With a frequency of 5Hz, a 65-hour power reserve, and 285 meticulously arranged components, the movement’s architecture is a masterclass in mechanical artistry. Skeletonized bridges, satin finishes, and hand-beveled edges offer a glimpse into the soul of the timepiece, each detail an ode to Parmigiani’s watchmaking legacy.
The Rattrapante’s dial, rendered in natural umber hand-grained gold, is framed by an impeccably proportioned case. Its seamless integration with the strap underscores the collection’s ethos of fluid modernity. Despite its intricate mechanics, the watch exudes an air of effortless elegance, proving that complexity need not compromise style.
Underlying the Toric collection’s resurgence is a philosophical commitment to reimagining masculinity through the lens of elegance. The collection’s color palette, inspired by Le Corbusier’s natural chromatic universe, and its meticulous craftsmanship celebrate harmony between past and present, luxury and subtlety.
Parmigiani Fleurier’s Toric collection is not merely a revival but a reinvention—a serene revolution in the world of fine watchmaking. Each piece invites its wearer into a dialogue with time, where artistry and innovation converge to create a legacy that is as enduring as it is exceptional.

Nobu Hotel Warsaw’s Sustainable Wasabi Revolution
In the heart of Warsaw, Nobu Hotel and Restaurant has embarked on a groundbreaking culinary journey by integrating sustainably cultivated Mazuma wasabi from Poland into its esteemed menu. This initiative not only enhances the dining experience but also underscores Nobu's commitment to environmental responsibility and innovation in gastronomy.
Traditionally, authentic wasabi (Wasabia japonica) is cultivated in Japan's cool, mountainous regions, thriving in pristine, flowing water conditions. Its cultivation is notoriously challenging due to the plant's specific environmental requirements and slow growth cycle, making genuine wasabi a rare and prized ingredient in the culinary world.
In a remarkable departure from convention, Wasabi Farm Poland has successfully cultivated Mazuma wasabi, becoming the only farm outside Japan to do so. Located far from the traditional wasabi-growing regions, this Polish farm has meticulously recreated the ideal conditions necessary for wasabi cultivation. By harnessing sustainable farming practices, such as using natural spring water and maintaining optimal temperature and humidity levels, the farm ensures the production of high-quality wasabi while minimizing environmental impact.
Nobu Warsaw has embraced this local innovation by incorporating freshly grated Mazuma wasabi into its dishes, offering patrons an authentic taste experience that was previously accessible only through imports. This farm-to-table approach not only guarantees the freshness and potency of the wasabi but also reduces the carbon footprint associated with long-distance transportation. By sourcing locally, Nobu supports sustainable agriculture and contributes to the local economy, setting a precedent for environmentally conscious fine dining.
The collaboration between Nobu Warsaw and Wasabi Farm Poland was showcased during an exclusive omakase event. Executive Chef Joshua Tracey and acclaimed Polish chef Marek Flisiński, recognized as Poland’s Best Chef by Gault & Millau, united to craft a menu that highlighted the natural elegance of fresh, hand-grated wasabi. Each dish was designed to enhance the wasabi's subtle heat and complex flavor profile, demonstrating its ability to elevate a range of culinary creations without overpowering them.
This initiative distinguishes Nobu Warsaw from other establishments by seamlessly blending traditional Japanese culinary artistry with local, sustainable sourcing. The integration of Polishgrown Mazuma wasabi into Nobu's menu exemplifies a harmonious fusion of authenticity and innovation, offering diners a unique and environmentally responsible gastronomic experience. It also reflects a broader movement within the culinary industry towards sustainability, seasonality, and the thoughtful integration of local ingredients into globally inspired cuisine.
By pioneering the use of sustainably cultivated wasabi from Poland, Nobu Warsaw not only enhances its culinary offerings but also reinforces its dedication to environmental stewardship and the promotion of sustainable luxury dining. This endeavor serves as an inspiring model for the future of gastronomy, where tradition and innovation converge to create exceptional and responsible dining experiences.

Nobu Hospitality is redefining luxury living across the globe.
In today’s real estate landscape, luxury is no longer just about location—it’s about lifestyle. And Nobu Hospitality, the iconic brand known for its seamless fusion of hospitality, design, and culinary excellence, is at the forefront of this transformation. With 18 branded residences across four continents and more on the way, Nobu is pioneering a new category of living, where hotel-style amenities meet the comforts of home, and community is just as important as architecture.
Since debuting its first residential concept in 2017, Nobu has not only expanded rapidly but set new records in the process. In Abu Dhabi, Nobu penthouses have commanded $37.5 million, while Nobu Residences Toronto sold out in just three months at the city’s then-highest price per square foot. These results aren’t just milestones—they’re proof that the Nobu name carries both cachet and commercial power.
Nobu’s residential success is rooted in strategic partnerships with developers who share its vision— Aldar Properties, RCD Hotels, Salboy, Madison Group, and others. Each Nobu residence offers more than elegant interiors; it grants access to signature dining, private catering, wellness programs, and a dedicated experience team. The result is a turnkey lifestyle that resonates deeply with modern buyers seeking more than just real estate.
“Our residences transcend traditional amenities,” says Nobu Hospitality CEO Trevor Horwell. “They embody a lifestyle rooted in the Nobu community—like-minded individuals connected through exceptional food, service, and shared values.”
This sense of connection is key to the Nobu effect—a blend of brand loyalty, elevated service, and record-breaking sales velocity. And as Nobu shifts focus to include non-hotel branded residences, its appeal continues to broaden, attracting a new wave of global residents looking to live the Nobu way.
With its design-driven approach and emphasis on community, Nobu Hospitality isn’t just building homes—it’s setting a new global standard for what it means to live well.

The Art of Well-Being

Nobu Hotels’ Global Approach to Luxury Wellness
Nobu Hotels has long been synonymous with refined luxury, seamlessly intertwining Japanese tradition with contemporary sophistication. While renowned for its world-class accommodations and celebrated cuisine, the brand has also cultivated a reputation for redefining wellness in the realm of high-end hospitality. Across its global destinations, Nobu curates immersive wellness experiences designed to nurture the mind, body, and spirit, ensuring that every stay leaves guests feeling revitalized, balanced, and inspired.
At the heart of Nobu’s wellness philosophy lies the belief that relaxation is an art form. Each hotel offers exclusive spa experiences that blend ancient Japanese healing rituals with locally inspired therapies. At Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay, Mediterranean ingredients are woven into signature treatments, creating a sensory journey that harmonizes land and sea. Meanwhile, Nobu Hotel London Portman Square pays homage to time-honored Japanese traditions with offerings such as onsen bathing and shiatsu massage.

Nobu’s approach to well-being extends beyond relaxation and into the realm of nourishment, where culinary artistry meets mindful indulgence. At every Nobu restaurant, menus are meticulously crafted to celebrate nutrientrich ingredients while maintaining the brand’s signature sophistication.

These thoughtfully curated activities allow travelers to connect with their surroundings while embracing an active and balanced lifestyle.
Ultimately, Nobu Hotels has elevated the concept of luxury hospitality by seamlessly integrating wellness into every aspect of the guest experience. By intertwining relaxation, nutrition, movement, and mindfulness, the brand has transformed well-being into a way of life rather than a fleeting indulgence. Whether through a restorative spa ritual, a nourishing culinary experience, or an immersive outdoor adventure, Nobu Hotels invites travelers to embark on a journey where balance and elegance converge, proving that true luxury is not just about where you stay, but how you feel when you leave.

the Essence of
A Scented Signature
More than just a fragrance, the Yuzu Ginger candle captures the soul of Nobu Hotels. This signature scent—bright, citrusy yuzu balanced by the warming spice of ginger—is diffused through every property’s air vents, subtly enveloping guests in a sense of calm and understated luxury from the moment they arrive.
Now, the experience doesn’t have to end at checkout. Available in full-size, travel-size, diffuser, and room spray formats, the Yuzu Ginger candle allows guests to bring a touch of Nobu serenity home with them. Whether flickering softly on a bedside table or packed neatly into a carry-on, it transforms any space into a Nobu sanctuary.
Clean, crisp, and quietly intoxicating, the scent is as transportive as a Nobu dinner— just without the wasabi. Available at select Nobu Hotels, this candle is more than a souvenir—it’s a memory in the making.
