In this issue
“I don’t care what you say,” local musician Tim De Cotta proclaims in his song Art Pure. “I’m gonna keep my art pure.”
Picking up from our last issue, we continue our contemplation on art, delving deeper into its role in moulding worldviews and zeitgeists. We look at art as an emblem of boldness, as the flag of rebels against the norm. In this, we stand with the likes of Oliver Peoples (pg.25), Baume & Mercier (pg. 66), Dior (pg. 18) and Giorgio Armani (pg. 20). In the same spirit, we also call to mind that soaring collaboration between Maison Margiela and Gentle Monster (pg. 18)
But art can also be subtle and gentle. Its power can sometimes be understated, but when revealed at the right moment, can be more dazzling than the sun. We see this in Cartier’s Trinity (pg. 26) and the slender Girard-Perragaux 38mm Copper Diamond Bezel (pg. 74).
And true art is eternal. Just ask Loro Piana, who are celebrating a century of inspiration and heritage (pg. 22). Or, read in on our conversation with Jaeger-LeCoultre CEO Catherine Rénier (pg.54) as she gives us a behind-the-scenes peek at the making of the magnificent Duomètre Heliotourbillon Perpetual.
Tim De Cotta himself is one of our August Men of Tomorrow (pg. 78 onwards) featured this month. We are revealing the first ten of thirty men, in a set that includes the likes of gentleman poet Adam Tie, Grimm & Company founder Benjamin Aryanto, CEO and Co-Founder of Prefer Bean-Free coffee Jake Berber and the deeply talented thespian Shrey Bhargava.
Even travelling can be elevated to an art form, as Skyscanner’s Cyndi Hui tells us (pg. 124). We embody this ourselves in experiences that border on the beatific such as Amanjiwo (pg. 120) and the Belmond Train (pg. 114). The spirit of adventure is also encapsulated in the Breitling Orbiter (pg. 68) and a pair of new Panerai Submersibles (pg. 60). The latter is part of an exciting slew of new timepieces revealed in this month’s Watches & Wonders (pg. 48 onwards).
Why Baume & Mercier Deserves Better
INSPIRED BY Pierre Soulages’s Peinture 1986, Polyptyque I Edition from the series Outrenoirs, Baume & Mercier reveals its second unique timepiece, the Hampton Polyptyque Edition — Musée Soulages 10th Anniversary, paying tribute to the artist.
