EVERY NEW RELEASE from Patek Philippe is a cause for celebration, but when it features a tourbillon, perpetual calendar and minute repeater all in one watch, it becomes something extraordinary.
Combining five of the industry's most celebrated complications, the Patek Philippe 5316P Grand Complications stands as an exemplar on the evolution of finishing. Decorative techniques on the watch calibre can be traced back to the early 19th century, when watchmakers began to add engraved decorations and other embellishments to their movements as a response to the growing demand for luxury timepieces which helped to establish the watch beyond functional necessity and into status symbol.
A rarity for a classical watch of this nature, its smoked sapphire dial subtly shows off the inner workings of the manually wound movement. The use of this unexpected material for the dial is only matched by the choice of platinum; an unusual choice for a minute repeater's casing because its density and molecular structure do not make it conducive for sound, yet Patek Philippe chose to showcase their superior Advanced Research technology in a platinum case to demonstrate its true metiers. Only 40.2 mm in width and 13.23 mm in height, the form factor of the 5316 belies a startling level of complexity - but we digress.

August Men Of Tomorrow
In the age of independent thinking, our idea of leaders needs to evolve. Let us posit an alternative to traditional ideas of leaders: leadership is a choice, an act rather than a personality trait. We choose to do the difficult thing. We choose to bear responsibility when few would. You don't need the contrivances of power to be a leader. Instead, you can be a Community Developer at a gaming company, introducing small but vital initiatives to grow and engage with your community. You can be a DJ, moving the masses with music, making waves rather than demands. You can be a tattoo artist or the owner of a gallery, helping people discover their sense of self through art.Or you could fight for a better, kinder world for animals in Singapore.Here are the leaders of today. Here are the August Men of Tomorrow.
