“We’ve worked at both the ‘macro’ level, referencing the Sun and planets of the whole Solar System, and the much more personal ‘micro’ level, centring our view of the world on the place the customer calls home.”

By contrast, the interior aesthetic focuses on the Earth’s surface and the human and natural life that inhabits it. The seats are made from Moccasin leather to mimic the sands of the Emirates’ deserts; Navy and Cobalto Blue accents are suggestive of rivers and lakes and Emerald Green piping symbolises nature in all its forms. Arctic White ‘RR’ monograms and stitching hint at clouds and translucent running water.

The exterior is finished in Royal Blue, representing the 75% of the Earth’s surface that is covered by water. The most striking feature, however, is the bonnet artwork, which depicts a satellite’s-eye view of the Middle Eastern region. Centred on the United Arab Emirates, the panorama extends across the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman, all meticulously air-brushed by hand in a process that took over 100 hours to complete. The exterior is finished with a hand-painted Emerald Green coachline incorporating the Sun and the eight planets of the Solar System - Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

Patek Philippe 6301P Grande Et Petite Sonnerie

By Jonathan Ho

Chiming complication in its purest form, that is to say, without the presence of other grand complications like split-seconds chronographs and perpetual calendars.

The new Ref. 6301P-001 Grande Sonnerie is powered by a movement developed using the know-how in creating that mega complication that took the form of the Grandmaster Chime ref.

6300G, stripped of extraneous (and arguably distracting) complications; Patek Philippeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Grande Et Petite Sonnerie focuses on its raison dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;etre: a grande and petite sonnerie.

The grande et petite sonnerie is an extremely rare complication in wristwatches; on Patek Philippe’s new Grande Et Petite Sonnerie even with the usual two hammers, it’s already a tremendous horological undertaking for its sheer complexity: and that’s only from the mechanical perspective, not even including the manual aesthetic finishes to many hundreds (703 to be precise) of components.

Patek Philippe’s new Grande Et Petite Sonnerie is a welcome return to the post-opulent roots of its other famous cousin – The Calatrava. Unlike the brand’s other high profile grand complications, the fore-mentioned Grandmaster Chime or Sky Moon Tourbillon, the Ref. 6301P has little ornamentation, it’s a purist wristwatch in the vein of one of the Geneva manufacture’s golden age, letting the complexity and audibility of its calibre speak volumes for itself.

World’s Most Exclusive Cognac

By Julia Roxan

As one of the world’s premier boutique producers of fine spirits, and the architect of the historical spirits movement, Maison Ferrand was founded in 1989 with a mission to preserve ageold, craft production methods that capture the true expression of the spirit, whilst upholding a commitment to revisit the classics when advancing innovation. Unveiling the release of the most exclusive cognacs ever produced, the all-new Ferrand Cognac Légendaire utilizes some of the Maison’s oldest stocks, including liquid that is a century old Critically distilled under the watchful eye of the fifth generation of cellarmasters, the Ferrand Cognac is distilled slowly, in small onion-shaped pots with a 25 hectolitres capacity, which help concentrate the aromas and flavors from the wine. Comprising of fresh “Eau de Vie”, from the still and aged in small oak barrels kept in seven different aging cellars at Logis d’Angeac, the Ferrand Cognac is aged in various casks and “toasted” to different levels, in order to avoid excessive bitterness caused by exaggerated tannins or oak.

Worth approximated $2.8K, the Ferrand Cognac Légendaire is characterized by its maker’s subtle and precise art of blending. Enclosed in an elaborate hand-carved wooden box, only an exclusive set of 500 bottles of the Ferrand Cognac Légendaire will be made available worldwide.

5 Biggest Time Wasters in Life

By Briony Sparg of Alux.com

1. Manually Updating Social Media Most working adults spend on average 2hours on social media a day. That includes keeping up with Carey from High Schools kid’s school’s concert and seeing what your second cousin had for lunch.

If you want to still have a presence on Social media and limit your scroll time, then it’s time to use some new tools. Find a social media management tool that works for you. One of the most popular is Hootsuite. This allows you to load up and schedule all your various profiles and accounts across all social media platforms. You can get all your notifications in one place too.

If you want to be effective you need to make your daily To Do list short. It’s no problem if you need to word vomit absolutely everything you need to do onto a page first. In fact it’s a good idea so that you don’t sit thinking that you need to remember something. That’s also a waste of time. But from that list you need to create some order. Add some timelines and create an order of action. Each day tackle a few items. There is no point in tackling all of them at once or you’ll waste time, more on multitasking later.

4. Avoidance Kills Time Avoidance is part of human nature, we don’t like to face the inevitable, we don’t like to struggle, and we don’t like to graft. But when we do, we love the sweet sweet rewards. So why do we postpone that moment just for a bit of hard work, when it usually ends up not being as bad as we thought? Postponing it means that it might become harder, and you’ll find a million not important things to fill your time instead of doing the one thing you need to.

Most motivation coaches encourage their followers to always tackle the tough stuff first.

And it makes sense. Start on it first when you’re more powered up. Finishing the task gives you a boost of confidence. And you don’t need to worry about it while you get going on the easy things.

5. Comparing Yourself to Others Comparing yourself is the biggest waste of time.

Not only is it impossible for any one person to be comparable to another because no single person has had the same lived experience as another, it also doesn’t get us anywhere.

When you are focussing on comparisons, you’re taking the focus off your own goal and mission in life. It doesn’t matter where someone else is in their career, they could be different to where you are in your family, or your relationships or your confidence. There are too many aspects that make up a person for it to be worth comparing yourself to the parts you know about them. Each of us has our own struggles, as well as things that come naturally and easy to us. Stick in your own lane and move yourself ahead. gives you a boost of confidence. And you don’t need to worry about it while you get going on the easy things.

Apple car may finally arrive by 2024

By Sayan Chakravarty

Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts began taking shape in 2014 with the goal to design its own vehicle from scratch and revolutionize the automobile industry with Codenamed Project Titan.

Since then, the objectives of the project have pivoted several times.

The company shifted its focus from building its own electric cars to develop the technology it can license to other automakers. Things fell apart

very quickly, and the project was scaled down dramatically, and 190 people were laid off from the team. But the latest report by Reuters suggests that things are back on track, and the iPhone-maker has returned to its original idea of building its own EV rather than just working on the technology.

Apple will follow the usual automobile manufacturing route by tapping outside

PAGE 20 > ROYBATO.COM > LUXURY GUIDE PRIVATE MAGAZINE

partners for components, including LIDAR sensors, which help in self-driving by creating a depth map of the surrounding environment.

But the report also claims that Apple might end up using internally developed LIDAR units, similar to the ones that can be found on the iPhone 12 Pro and iPad Pro models released this year.

Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon watch by Jacob & Co.

A collaboration between Jacob & Co. and Bugatti comes the Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon timepiece. The standout design feature of the horological masterpiece is a tiny moving replica of the signature 8.0-liter W16 engine that powers the mighty Bugatti Chiron.

Engaging the right pusher brings the engine to life, creating a 20-second 3D animation. Back then, the watchmaker has only released a single all-black edition limited to just 126 pieces. Jacob & Co. has now followed it up by revealing four new iterations of the Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon.

The first version comes with an 18-karat Rose Gold case, a special anti-reflective sapphire crystal, an 18-karat Rose Gold

open caseback, and black DLC titanium crowns and pushers embossed with the Bugatti logo. This edition includes a rubber strap with a black DLC titanium and 18-karat Rose Gold buckle clasp and is limited to only 72 pieces.

Second, the line-up also has a similar 18k Rose Gold finish and other features; however, it is adorned with sparkling white diamonds. This version is limited to 52 examples. Next up is the 18-karat White Gold version set with 391 black and white diamonds (approximately 20 carats). The rubber strap with an 18-karat White Gold buckle clasp is embellished with 18 white diamonds (approximately 1.76 carats). The

PAGE 22 > ROYBATO.COM > LUXURY GUIDE PRIVATE MAGAZINE

final version carries a theme of transparency and is made of a solid block of sapphire crystal with a sapphire crystal caseback. It also uses sapphire crystals for the crowns as well as the pushers. This version is paired with a rubber strap with a titanium buckle clasp.

Technically, all the four new versions are identical to the one launched earlier this year.

The model is powered by the Jacob & Co. manual winding JCAM37 movement, which is held within the case by miniature Chiron-style shock absorbers. It offers a power reserve of 60 hours

$330 Cartier sterling silver baby butterfly spoon

By Neha Tandon Sharma

Being born with a silver spoon isn’t enough anymore. You really haven’t arrived (pun intended) till you arrive with Cartier’s Baby butterfly sterling-silver spoon in your little mouth. The tiny spoon is made in sterling silver featuring the Cartier Baby butterfly motif and is a wonderful but expensive addition to Cartier’s zoological gallery. At the same time, mommies continue to be obsessed with the Cartier panther, their bubs have a colorful menagerie of baby animals to choose from. The spoon comes only in a baby butterfly motif. However, recent collections of cups, spoons, photo frames, tumblers, and even blankets designed for babies have cutesy additions like an adorable rabbit, panda, fox, and mouse, each with stylized eyes featuring motifs of the Maison logo, stamped on childhood objects.

The Cartier Baby butterfly motif spoon measures W 3 x H 10.5 cm and is a great way to feed the child while making it aware of the luxe brands it will love growing up. I wonder if the child that eats with a Cartier spoon costing nearly $330 eats faster, or doesn’t spit up, or has any other hidden special features to justify that exorbitant price tag?

Stephan Winkelmann The Big Boss of Bugatti and Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A.

Born in Berlin in 1964, Winkelmann moved to Italy with his family at a young age and grew up in Rome. He studied political science in Rome, before completing a degree on the subject in Munich. He followed up his studies with a couple of years in the German Army as a paratrooper, achieving the rank of lieutenant by the time he departed.

His career began in 1991 at German financial services institution MLP, before refocusing his attentions on the automotive industry. This led to a role at German car giant Mercedez-Benz, before a move to Italian firm Fiat Auto in 1994, which saw him spend the following decade in marketing and sales roles, based both in Italy and overseas. He rose to the position of CEO of Fiatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Austrian, Swiss and German divisions, before moving to the Italian city of Bologna at the beginning of 2005 and into his current role at Automobili Lamborghini as group president and CEO. Recognition of his achievements in restoring the pride of a the famous Italian brand came in 2009 when Winkelmann was awarded the honour of Grand Office in the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic.

Discussing the trajectory of his career, from studying political science to heading up one of the leading luxury car brands in the world, Winkelmann tells Gizmag: “I always did what I was interested in. I was born into motorcycles as a kid. I love things that are a technological challenge. I love things that have a brand and so I think the car industry is the most complex industry, because I think you have what is fashionable combined with very high levels of investment mixed with high levels of technology and engineering complexity. Then you have the complexity of marketing, sales and after sales. I don’t think there is any product that is as complex, challenging and interesting.

I’m happy, and proud, to be a part of Lamborghini.”

political science background and how I got here, there were a number of coincidences. After my studies I never intended to be in politics or stay at the university. For me it was the need to find new shores, new challenges.”

the Italian culture it’s pretty easy – it’s the creativity and the passion they have, as well as flexibility. For me, on the German side, it’s reliability, the level of organisation you get out of even large units, and the precision in the things they do.

“I tend to see that there is more than just being a native German and being raised in Rome. You have to have an international approach, and in fact I believe managers should Although he studied a subject not look at passports, but at very different, Winkelmann skills and passion.” says that he never intended to go into politics: “Regarding my He added to Boyden: “From

“I think I expect a lot from the people I am working with, and they know it. At the same time, I think they know that they can count on me – that I’m there, that I’m reliable when collaboration or guidance is needed.

That is extremely important.”
