Rolls-Royce Spectre unveiled.

www.wilsons.je 20
Electric DREAMS
www.wilsons.je 21

In 1900, Rolls-Royce co-founder, Charles Rolls, prophesised an electric future for the motor car. Having acquired an electric vehicle named The Columbia Electric Carriage, he foresaw its suitability as a clean, noiseless alternative to the internal combustion engine – providing there was sufficient infrastructure to support it. Today, more than 120 years later, the time has come for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars to fulfil the prophecy of its founding father.

This prophecy could not have been fulfilled without a more recent promise, when Rolls-Royce CEO, Torsten Müller-Ötvös, made a public commitment to electrification by announcing that he would bring a fully-electric Rolls-Royce to market within the current decade. Charles Rolls’ prophecy and Torsten MüllerÖtvös’ promise led to an historic moment. In September 2021, the marque confirmed that it had commenced testing of Spectre, the first Rolls-Royce to be conceived and engineered from the very beginning as an electric car. To ensure that this transformative motor car was sufficiently prepared for the most demanding consumer in the world – the Rolls-Royce client – the marque devised the most exhaustive testing programme it had ever conceived. Spectre is being subjected to a journey of more than 2.5 million kilometres, simulating more than 400 years of use for a Rolls-Royce. On its completion in 2023, Spectre will represent a prophecy fulfilled, a promise kept and an undertaking completed.

Spectre is not only an historic moment for Rolls-Royce, but also an historic moment for electrification – with Spectre, the marque confirms that the technology has reached a standard that can contain the Rolls-Royce experience. To that end, RollsRoyce has confirmed that by the end of 2030 its entire product portfolio will be fully-electric.

22
www.wilsons.je
“Spectre is more than a motor car. It is a statement of intent and a symbol of a bright, bold future as Rolls-Royce progresses into an all-electric era. This commitment to an all-electric powertrain will only enhance the Rolls-Royce experience.”

THE FUTURE BEGINS

Spectre is more than a motor car. It is a statement of intent and a symbol of a bright, bold future as Rolls-Royce progresses into an all-electric era. This commitment to an all-electric powertrain will only enhance the Rolls-Royce experience – instant torque, silent running and the sense of one imperceptible gear have defined the characteristics of an extraordinary canon of products dating back to the very first Rolls-Royce, the 1904 10 H.P.

With Spectre, Rolls-Royce has harnessed a revolutionary ‘Decentralised Intelligence’ system that allows for the free and direct exchange of information between more than 1,000 vehicle functions, further elevating the marque’s celebrated quality of ride. Its designers have captured a contemporary yet timeless aesthetic that significantly progresses the brand’s iconography as it embarks on its electric age. Its craftspeople have created a suite of contemporary prêt-à-porter personalisation possibilities, including Starlight Doors and Illuminated Fascia, inspiring clients to realise their own Bespoke visions.

DESIGN

In unveiling Spectre, Rolls-Royce sets a new precedent in the creation of an entirely original class of motor car: the Ultra-Luxury Electric Super Coupé. This designation refers to Spectre’s indulgent proportions, specified in response to a commitment that there is no greater luxury than that of space.

The marque’s designers are deeply rooted in the context occupied by their motor cars. Therefore, their inspiration is drawn from worlds far beyond automotive, including haute couture, modernist sculpture, nautical design, tailoring and contemporary art. In conceiving the principal sketches for Spectre, the marque’s creatives were drawn to modern yacht concepts, specifically the clarity and precision of line, intelligent use of reflection and application of taper to emotionalise silhouettes.

From the front, Spectre’s split headlight treatment is intersected by the widest grille ever bestowed on a Rolls-Royce. The vanes of the Pantheon grille are now smoother in section and a flusher fit, designed to help guide the air around the motor car’s front.

The relaxed angle and polished stainless steel finish of the grille does much to enhance Spectre’s presence using environmental reflection. Along with an aerotuned Spirit of Ecstasy figurine – itself the product of 830 combined hours of design modelling and wind tunnel testing – the grille enhances the motor car’s unprecedented drag coefficient, which at just 0.25cd makes Spectre Rolls-Royce’s most aerodynamic motor car, ever.

www.wilsons.je

23

This intelligent treatment has been married to the iconography of Spectre’s spiritual predecessor, the Phantom Coupé. Spectre clearly acknowledges its forebear with its generous proportions and split headlight treatment – a contemporary Rolls-Royce design tenet. Spectre’s sharp daylight running lights emphasise the motor car’s imperious two-metre width and are offset with lower lamp clusters that appear darkened, at first glance, but hide jewellery box-like darkened chromium housings for the headlights. To affirm Spectre’s expression after dark, the grille is softly illuminated, with 22 LEDs lighting up the sandblasted rear side of each of the vanes, their gentle glow reflected in the polished front surfaces for a subtle and three-dimensional night signature.

In profile, the sharp, vertical bow line at the front of Spectre draws the eye rearward to its monolithic flanks. The lower line – known as the ‘waft line’ – borrows directly from yacht design. Instead of exaggerating movement with busy detailing or appliqués, Spectre’s coachwork gently tucks into the sill, lightening the surfacing and creating an uncomplicated sense of motion by reflecting the road passing beneath it, much as the hull of a racing yacht reflects the ocean as it cuts through water. This ‘waft line’ is the visual representation of the ‘magic carpet ride’ and its upwards sweep toward the front is inspired by the gently lifting bow of an accelerating power boat. The silhouette’s most dramatic feature is Spectre’s fastback, which recalls the most evocative motor cars and watercraft in history.

The seamlessness of the greenhouse surfacing significantly contributes to achieving the lowest drag coefficient ever for a RollsRoyce. Following the roofline back, the tail lamps are set into the largest single body panel ever produced for a Rolls-Royce, which extends from the A-pillar to the luggage compartment. The jewellike vertical tail lamps themselves are colourless for neutrality, in

anticipation of the myriad of colourways selected by clients during the commissioning process. Their precision and reduced dimension complement the generous flow of the bodywork from the muscular shoulders backwards into the tail section with its characteristic tapering plan view.

The proportional demands of Spectre’s scale required Rolls-Royce to embolden its wheel strategy. Spectre is the first production two-door coupé to be equipped with 23-inch wheels in almost one hundred years.

Inside, Spectre is provisioned with the most technologically advanced Bespoke features yet, drawing inspiration from the timeless mystique of the night’s sky. For the first time on a series production Rolls-Royce, Spectre is available with Starlight Doors, which incorporate 4,796 softly illuminated ‘stars’. The coach doors can also be commissioned with a backdrop of wood Canadel Panelling, which takes its name from the cove in the South of France where Sir Henry Royce and his design team spent their winters.

POWER, RANGE AND DIMENSIONS

The final power, acceleration and range figures are still being refined, as the extraordinary undertaking of finessing Spectre enters its final phase before concluding in the second quarter of 2023. Preliminary data shows that Spectre is expected to have an all-electric range of 320 miles/520 kilometres WLTP and offer 900Nm of torque from its 430kW powertrain. It is anticipated to achieve 0-60mph in 4.4 seconds (0-100km/h in 4.5 seconds).

With many months of testing and optimisation of Spectre still ahead, these figures are subject to change ahead of official confirmation prior to market launch in Q4 2023.

In the ZONE

The Hermès Arceau Le Temps Voyageur

The Hermès journey continues towards new dreamlike horizons, where time takes on a singular dimension. Borders are blurred, movement is light and joyful. The hours of the world are an invitation to experience ubiquity – here or elsewhere – as the spirit takes flight, free and borne on the wings of dreams.

www.wilsons.je 36
www.wilsons.je 37

The Arceau line designed by Henri d’Origny in 1978 lends itself to a new expression of style and evokes the spirit of travel according to Hermès. Crafted in platinum and titanium or entirely in steel, set with diamonds (or not), its round case with asymmetrical lugs reveals a new reading of the hours of the world.

A gravitating counter journeys across continents, moving from city to city, flying over time zones. As it travels, the face of the watch is transformed, opening up whole new dimensions. The satellite gravitates on a fantasy map created by Jérôme Colliard for the Planisphere d’un monde équestre silk scarf. A metaphor of the ties between horses and the House of Hermès, this design was inspired by a giant globe created by the French graphic designer for the 2016 Saut Hermès showjumping competition in Paris. This unique interpretation invites you to travel through the imaginary universe of Hermès.

Against an intense black, deep blue or white mother-of-pearl background, the continents and meridians of this dreamlike universe stand out in relief and depth, adorned with subtle finishes: lacquered, openworked, sandblasted, sunburst, transferred or powdered silver-toned. A stylistic, functional and spiritual interpretation of a classic haute horlogerie complication, the unique ‘Travelling time’ mechanism developed exclusively for Hermès displays 24 time zones by means of a circular disc. The mobile counter and the home-time indication at 12 o’clock are driven by an exclusive 122-component module, housed in a thickness of just 4.4 mm and integrated within the Hermès H1837 mechanical self-winding movement. The mechanism as a whole powers the display of hours, minutes and a dual-time display with city indication.

Three Arceau Le temps voyageur models – a 41 mm-diameter platinum iteration enhanced by a matt black DLC-treated titanium bezel, as well as an all-steel 38 mm-diameter version and its feminine interpretation set with 78 diamonds – are paired with alligator or Swift calfskin straps secured by a pin buckle and crafted in the Hermès Horloger workshops in accordance with the saddlery and leatherwork expertise cultivated by the House.

In the LIMELIGHT

For over a century The Beverly Hills Hotel has been the spot for Hollywood’s brightest lights, the ultimate beacon of glamour. Welcome to the legacy.

This is no ordinary hotel. Seductively hidden amongst 80-year-old palm trees and banana leaves, The Beverly Hills Hotel had her name long before the city even existed. She holds a timeless appeal, as legendary as the Hollywood history that surrounds it. Today, it remains the place to see and be seen, where beautiful rooms, suites and individual bungalows pay homage to the stellar heritage of this legendary hotel, and a trio of world-class restaurants represents the life and soul of LA dining.

Memorable experiences are created by our warm and professional employees, who welcome every guest into the ‘Pink Palace’ family. With superlative service, a private setting in the heart of a city, and a recent faithful restoration, the hotel is more captivating than ever.

HISTORY

This Beverly Hills Hotel is an iconic LA hideaway, famous for playing host to Hollywood royalty over the years. From the deals made in the Polo Lounge to private parties in the bungalows, this is Tinseltown’s original playground.

Built by Margaret Anderson in 1912, The Beverly Hills Hotel had her name before the city even existed. Beverly Hills was literally built around the blush façade of the hotel, originally created as a place for people to stay when looking at property in the area. Anderson famously declared, “Guests are entitled to the best of everything, regardless of cost!”

Over the years, the hotel became the favoured choice for Hollywood stars, who met, partied and mingled in the Polo Lounge and relished in the privacy of its secluded bungalows. If the walls could talk, just imagine the stories they would tell.

55
www.wilsons.je

DÉCOR

With its familiar pink façade, green and white stripes, banana-leaf wallpaper and iconic logo, you could only be at The Beverly Hills Hotel. Our famous red carpet awaits every guest on arrival, but the signature aesthetic of the hotel can be found well beyond our fabled entrance. Interiors offer an unforgettable blend of Golden Age glamour and modern luxury, paying homage to a remarkable Hollywood legacy.

If one decorative feature could epitomize the hotel, it would have to be our Martinique® banana leaf wallpaper, selected for the hotel by famed designer Don Loper in 1949. It’s achieved its own iconic status in the design world, starred in several films and is said to be one the most recognisable wallpapers in the world. We have 5.5 miles of it running throughout the hotel!

www.wilsons.je 56

ROOMS AND SUITES

210 rooms and suites, including 23 one-of-a-kind bungalows. Rooms and suites pay homage to the legacy of the hotel, but with a luxuriously modern edge. Bright, spacious rooms and suites in the main building look out across Beverly Hills, some with private patios surrounded by lush gardens.

Interiors showcase furnishings with luxurious materials such as soft leather and rich mohair in shades of cream and taupe, accented with the hotel’s signature pink and green colours. Walnut, ebonised oak and parchment lacquered furniture add depth to each room’s ambience while antique bronze lighting fixtures cast an inviting light.

Hidden amongst the gardens, the 23 bungalows offer the true Hollywood experience, each individually designed with their own unique personalities. Five Legendary Bungalows are inspired by the famous guests to have called them home, including Howard Hughes, Marilyn Monroe and Marlene Dietrich.

Each is designed to reflect this star-studded past, with a secluded setting and spacious layout including a private entrance, living room and dining room in granite and marble.

Suites of special interest include the historic Paul R. Williams Suite, designed by and named for the architect who was responsible for a remodel of the hotel in the 1940s, and reimagined it into the iconic address it is today. This suite has a large patio for entertaining and a cool, 1950s vibe. Guests also love to hide away in the Presidential Suite, a sprawling 232m2/2,500ft2 space with a spacious living room and large balcony overlooking Beverly Hills. This truly beautiful suite also has a den, dining room and full kitchen for entertaining, in addition to a luxurious marble bathroom and powder room.

“She holds a timeless appeal, as legendary as the Hollywood history that surrounds it. Today, it remains the place to see and be seen, where beautiful rooms, suites and individual bungalows pay homage to the stellar heritage of this legendary hotel.”

DINING AND ENTERTAINMENT

Polo Lounge

Known as Hollywood’s commissary and the epicentre of power dining in LA, the Polo Lounge has been the favourite spot for generations of stars and Hollywood deal-makers. Guests can enjoy chef Michael Santoro’s fresh Californian cuisine in the famous dining room or on the outdoor terrace, equally wonderful for a sunny breakfast or a twinkling night of soft music and familiar faces. Weekly live music completes the appeal.

Fountain Coffee Room

For casual dining, the 19-seat Fountain Coffee Room is the iconic diner, which serves milkshakes, burgers and pancakes, alongside a glorious helping of 1950s nostalgia. For dessert, be tempted by homemade ice creams, freshly-baked pastries and pies.

The Cabana Cafe

Poolside dining comes in the form of The Cabana Cafe, whose fresh, casual dining and picture-perfect setting makes it a popular spot for a relaxed meal in the LA sunshine, while a view of the pool sparkles with sheer pleasure. The café serves all-day breakfast, fresh salads, wood-fired pizzas, sandwiches, burgers and smoothies.

The Beverly Hills Hotel Spa

To enjoy the finest holistic wellness experience, take to the newlyrestored spa. Inspired by a tranquil vision of a glorious oasis within an oasis, it draws on the exquisite beauty of its leafy surroundings. The spa features four treatment rooms for body and facial therapies and one duet suite that can accommodate two guests at the same time. Also new to the spa is a nail suite, including two pedicure chairs and a manicure area featuring natural light from the citrus garden.

GROUNDS

The hotel is surrounded by 12 acres of tropical gardens and exotic flowers. Beyond this, the iconic LA palm trees stand tall against the brilliant blue sky. Guests are in the centre of this famous city, but the view is fresh and green and the air crackles with possibility.

More than 180 plants, including palm trees, shrubs, roses, ferns and vines make up the lush gardens surrounding the hotel, creating a private corner of paradise in the heart of Beverly Hills. Our team of gardeners lovingly care for the grounds, keeping them looking their best all year round.

At the heart of it all, the famous pool offers an experience that shimmers with history, glamour and sheer good fun.

As we head into the new year, the collection has been updated for 2023 with brand new coloured bottle designs for both 50ml and 100ml cologne bottles.

The collection looks to the rich and rare as the starting point for nine distinctive fragrances. Whilst most Jo Malone London scents find inspiration in British landscapes, traditions and ingredients, Cologne Intense allows us to find inspiration from further afield. Cologne Intense fragrances offer warmth, depth and volume, but still retain the signature clarity and naturality that Jo Malone London is known for.

A verdant hanging garden dressed with expansive terraces and noble arches. Statuesque cypress trees infuse the air with freshness, powered by intertwining grapevines, grounded with depths of amber.

Right: Dark Amber & Ginger Lily

A magnetic trail of incense rising during a sacred ritual. Illuminated by the clean sensuality of black cardamom and fresh lily, enriched with amber. Dark and distinctive.

The Mighty MAX

TAG Heuer congratulates Max Verstappen and the Oracle Red Bull Racing Team on their double Formula 1 World Championship wins.

One season, two outstanding results - the Oracle Red Bull Racing Team takes home the Formula 1 Constructors’ World Championship, and their driver - Max Verstappen - wins the Formula 1 Drivers’ World Championship for a second year in a row.

Max Verstappen has won the 2022 Formula 1 World Drivers’ Championship with an impressive lead, with a total of 454 points this season. The Dutch driver secured the second title of his career achieving a record 15 wins throughout a gripping season, ahead of Charles Leclerc and teammate Sergio Perez and breaking the previous record held by Michael Schumacher (2004) and Sebastian Vettel (2013) of 13 wins in a season.

Verstappen even managed to confirm his title with four races left in the season, a feat only achieved by Nigel Mansell, Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel who were also crowed with four or more races left in a season.

With 15 wins, two sprint race victories and 7 pole positions this year, Max Verstappen has once again demonstrated exceptional skill and true grit as a driver. TAG Heuer, partner of the Oracle Red Bull Racing team since 2016, extends its heartfelt congratulations to Max and the entire team on their inspiring win.

2022 was also the team’s most successful season in terms of race wins with 17 (previous record was 13 in 2013). Oracle Red Bull Racing also broke its all-time constructor’s championship points total with 759 points (previous record was 650 in 2011) and has upheld an impressive streak of podiums, with a driver in the top three in every race since the Saudi Arabian GP. They take home their fifth world title, adding to the four consecutive championships the team won between 2011 and 2014.

“As a proud and longstanding partner of Oracle Red Bull Racing, TAG Heuer would like to congratulate Max Verstappen and the entire team on their extraordinary achievements this season. To win a World Championship is already an incredible feat, but a second consecutive victory is even more impressive. Max demonstrated outstanding talent and sportsmanship and more than ever embodies our Don’t Crack Under Pressure mindset on and off the track” says Frédéric Arnault, CEO of TAG Heuer.

“And we are just as impressed with the teams’ Constructor’s title, a well-deserved recognition of their excellence and steadfast dedication, as well as Sergio Perez’ third place of course, after a break-out 2022 season. We couldn’t be happier with such exceptional results all around.”

For the final race of the year in Abu Dhabi, the once-again World Champion Max Verstappen sported his TAG Heuer Monaco Special Edition presented to him at the Monaco Grand Prix this spring, an iconic square-shaped timepiece infused with racing character, in a bold black titanium and pink gold rendition evocative of the 1970’s golden era.

Sergio Perez also wore his favourite TAG Heuer timepiece, a limited-edition TAG Heuer Carrera chronograph designed especially for him and featuring his signature number 11 and moto.

As the Oracle Red Bull Racing team celebrates a truly incredible year, TAG Heuer wishes them much continued success in the off-season and looks forward to another thrilling year together in 2023.

Formula 1 is to hold 24 races in a season for the first time as FIA reveals record calendar for 2023, including debut Las Vegas GP and returning races in China and Qatar. The Season started with Bahrain GP on March 5 and finishes in Abu Dhabi on November 26.
