August Man SG - Issue 188

I denne utgaven

Religious orders in antiquity paid great emphasis on jewels and jewel accessories to reflect caritas (or light) a sign of divine beauty. Over time, it was treated as something not masculine enough and a result, men's jewellery-wearing traditions became minimalistic. It therefore stands to reason, that part of our fascination and rising popularity of head turning models from Cartier (p. 42), Jaeger-LeCoultre (p. 46), Vacheron Constantin (p. 40) and Gucci (p. 48), to name a few, have entered into the luxury milieu with more sophisticated finishing, decorative techniques and even gem setting - we still love bling!

From our wrists into our stomachs: we had the fantastic tasting experience with an exclusive $12,000 bottle of Glenrothes 42 years (p. 76) and witnessed the launch of Fuji whiskey (p. 78); it’s not just watchmaking and whiskies, wearables are also enjoying a renaissance! We explored wearables like the Apple Ultra (p. 84) and the Garmin Marq 2 (p. 86) that show these devices are no longer just sports bio-metric accessories but true lifelong companions.

This issue, we also spoke to several captains of industry: August Mentor and Microsoft CTO Richard Koh (p. 128), Aesop Perfumer Barnabé Fillion (p. 124), Hublot CEO Ricardo Guadalupe (p. 114), Zenith CEO Julien Tornare (p. 110) and last but not least, our ass-kicking cover star Ludi Lin (p. 104) explains exactly why men shouldn’t fear failure - we learn more from the attempt than we do the success!
