MEN'S FOLIO Malaysia - March 2025

In this issue

The world of cinema marries so many forms of creativity — from styling to sound design, to name a couple — that it is hard to pinpoint what makes good cinema good. Which is why we are honouring this rich form of the arts for our March issue. We start with our cover story featuring Win Metawin, all dressed in Prada. He is no stranger to the silver screen, and we learn about his journey in show business through the eyes of his fans. Next, we present timepieces that share a connection with cinema. Besides being movie stars in their own right, these watches also fall into specific niches — one example being TAG Heuer and motorsports. Sometimes, the movies inspire the watch design itself, as shown in Franck Muller’s watches. Even writing instruments can pay tribute to the wonderful world of cinema. Brands like Montblanc have dedicated entire collections to cinematic influences, from the East to the West, and from the olden days to the present. What is also worth remembering is that we each have our own stories to live, making us the main characters of our own movies. Perhaps this issue can be a reminder to always aim for that blockbuster life.
