Augustman Malaysia - December 2024

この問題で

We’ve arrived at December’s doors ushered by a rash of less than positive news in the luxury scene. Industry leader LVMH reported a three per cent decline in the third quarter, marked by a five per cent drop in its crucial fashion and leather goods division, which generates nearly half of group revenues. Meanwhile, the Richemont Group reported a two per cent increase in sales for jewellery maisons Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels, but watch sales fell by 17 per cent. Asia Pacific saw an 18 per cent decline due to weaker consumer confidence in China, partially offset by growth in Japan, the Americas, and Europe. There’s even talk that we are easing into a recession worse than the one we faced in 2008/2009.
I’ve always believed a credit crunch shouldn’t stifle creativity; despite global challenges, we must celebrate and keep moving forward.
Our annual Men of the Year initiative embodies this spirit. These 10 men across nine categories—from intellectualism and entrepreneurship to art, activism, sports, and style—it reminds us that small efforts can make the world better. Explore their profiles on pages 54 to 73. This issue also celebrates the good life with quality reads, films, food, and drinks—because what’s money for if not living la dolce vita? Meanwhile, our Gentleman’s List offers self-care tips and gifting inspiration for the season.
In the world of watches, Patek Philippe’s first new collection in 25 years comes under the spotlight, as do several other new releases from Swatch x Omega, Zenith and TAG Heuer. And if you’re not in the mood to shop, our travel piece on South Africa will certainly make you want to buy a plane ticket post-haste. As we wind down 2024 and prepare to start afresh for the New Year, the AUGUSTMAN team wishes you well. To much reflection, relaxation and merriment this December, and to a safe and successful start to 2025! We deserve nothing less.
