So, Porsche has taken a four-wheel-drive 911 GTS, fitted it with underbody protection and some beefed-up suspension, and called it the Dakar. Which is the coastal Senegalese city that people used to race to from Paris, back in the days when people thought Isis was a peaceful and trouty river…
What you see here is Rolls Royce’s newest driver-focussed coupé. It’s called the Spectre and, even if it’s a four-seat fastback with a long bonnet and two rear-hinged doors, it is not actually a direct replacement for the discontinued Wraith. (The Spectre’s 420,000 USD price tag and lengthier size actually…
I was recently invited to Scotland, by Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), to test their latest and greatest halo model, the 2025 twin-turbo V8 Range Rover SV, and though I will be writing up that story separately, I also wanted to draw attention to the fact that I had the good…
Ulysse Nardin’s Freak is the horological equivalent of the Porsche 911. On paper neither product makes sense. I mean, who hangs an engine out over the rear wheels of a car and expects it to be dynamic? Likewise, who decides to remove the dial, hands, and crown of a watch?…
Few in the world of fashion have managed to make numbers quite as symbolic as Chanel. Think 5, 22, 31 – these are just some of the numerals that have become synonymous with Coco and her brand. Well, two years ago, to celebrate the centenary of the No.5 perfume, the…

I’ve always thought that an Aston Martin is a very refined choice for someone looking to buy a modern dream car. Indeed, not only are Astons stunning to look at, but they also come with a lot of positive brand equity: they’re rare, they’re loved, and they’re respected. As a…
Stephanie Sayar and Charbel Garibeh are the Lebanese creatives behind Sayar & Garibeh. They recently received a huge boost in terms of global awareness when their brand was one of ten selected by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana to contribute to D&G Casa, for whom they created the ‘Raytoid’ table…
With superyachts getting bigger – just think of the 180-metre Azzam or 162-metre Eclipse as perfect reminders – and cruise ships getting smaller (so as to cater to a growing demand for longer, more immersive journeys alongside fewer passengers, and with a lighter carbon footprint), it seems logical then that…
It was over twenty-five years ago that Hamad Sultan (above) and Achille Rossini first met as students at RISD (Rhode Island School of Design). Then, after they both graduated in 2000, they ended up getting recruited by the same architecture firm in Boston – NADAAA (formerly Office dA). And today,…
