A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER

EDITOR’S NOTE

BILLIONAIRE

The Oldest Mistake • Nature has a blueprint for business — we just need to see it.

OPINIONS • Each issue we ask three thought leaders their opinion on a single question. This time; if you could see one event in history, what would it be?

Huus Bären 1602, Switzerland

The Weekender Tokyo • Our publisher visits an old friend who happens to be an exemplary chef.

Five Minutes With… Matt Hobbs

Seed Academy • Each issue we spotlight a worthy non-profit. This time, free basketball clinics for teens in Ghana.

A CASE FOR CONSERVATION

From Hunter to Guardian • The assumption has long been that hunter and protector are opposites. But a different story has emerged.

Art Immersion • Portuguese entrepreneur Armando Martins bought an 18th-century Lisbon palace to house his art collection — and directly integrated it into a five-star luxury hotel.

Origin Story • Lions of the Skeleton Coast features three orphaned desert lion cubs, along with ground-breaking science led by Dr Flip Stander.

The Art Lover’s Guide to Aspen • Aspen’s reputation has long been built on alpine glamour. Yet beyond the slopes lies a sophisticated cultural destination anchored by world-class art.

BEAUTY OF SILENCE

The Silent Horsepower • The Spectre, the first fully electric car from the British maker, gets a powerful new sibling with the Black Badge.

A Green Wave • The Blue Wake Awards at Monaco Yacht Show spotlight legitimate sustainability in the superyachting industry.

A Return To Simplicity • An escape to Villa Ardore, a hilltop retreat, is like having Tuscany all to yourself.

EARTHLY PLEASURES

Bordeaux to Bubbles • The Rothschild name is synonymous with Bordeaux. But two decades on from the launch of their first champagne, the family’s reputation as a champagne producer is growing.

Beyond Bacalhau • Exploring the country’s unsung Michelin dining scene.

Sky’s the Limit • Fresh from a year-long transformation, this chic alpine hotel is home to Megève’s first high-tech wellness facility.

HIGH TIME

From The Beginning • Renaud Tixier is barely two years old, yet its ambitions reach far beyond another new name in independent watchmaking. With Monday, it aims to retrace the foundations of mechanical horology, one problem at a time.

Defying Gravity, Still • Long before it became a symbol of haute horlogerie, the tourbillon was conceived as an elegant solution to one of timekeeping’s greatest challenges. This pursuit of precision continues to inspire, 225 years after its invention.
