Top range cars
A series of exciting new features for the latest collection of models presented at the end of 2019 in terms of power, luxury and sophistication, with details still rare among competitors. But even the highest segments have made the leap to electric cars.

We’ll be seeing Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Sigourney Weaver in 2020 on the big screen in the new Ghostbusters. And Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer again in Top Gun. In the car world, after seeing the SUVs from Lamborghini, Rolls Royce and Bentley, with the announcement of the model from Ferrari, it seems we will be bowled over again. The “best” is still to come. Our “electric odyssey” has a history yet to be written. On “normal” cars, electric details have been seen for some time, but 2020 will be the year of the Porsche Taycan, Porsche’s first full electric vehicle designed and created with sporting flair. It is a truly sporty saloon car with a coupé soul, combining the classic proportions of both, but with lines reminiscent of the 911. Apart from its design, the Taycan was developed to astonish, doing so by offering the usual versions produced by the brand, including a four-wheel drive vehicle, and keeping its traditional method of naming: therefore, there will be “turbo” models, even when a turbine does not exist. On this issue the super car of Porsche, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Aston Martin and Ferrari.
Yachts of excellence
New philosophies and enhanced values in yacht construction. Top shipbuilders are focussed on yachts with limited production runs, attention to detail, use of high-quality engineering and precision together with luxury, versatile design.

Copyright © Jeff Brown.They are extravagant choices, they are a desire for opulence, they are a craving for uniqueness, they are technology and luxury combined in exclusive items accessible only to the few. They are mega, super and sometimes giga, predominately built in Italy, owned by people from all over the world, but often from Asia. They are the most beautiful yachts in the world, which each year become even more beautiful. With too many to review, selecting a few was challenging. Alia Yachts brings its significant yacht-building knowledge from Turkey. Over the years it has used increasingly acclaimed designers: the exteriors, for example, of the 60-metre Samurai are styled by Omega Architects, who also work with the superb Heesen Yachts as well as the Ferretti Group. The interiors are by Redman Whiteley Dixon. The unusual arrangement provides accommodation for 10 guests and a full-beam master suite on the main deck, but the fifth and most spacious guest cabin is on the bridge deck near the captain’s cabin. Having already achieved success with a rental price of €400,000 a week, Alia revealed the yacht to the public 3 years after its launch. A very different offer, the Project Al Waab II is due for delivery in 2021 and boasts another important designer, the Danish Vripack. On this issue the mega yacht di Alia Yacht, Baglietto, Benetti, Gulf Yachts, Rossininavi and Tankoa.

New trends move forwards but look backwards. Experience linked to traditions. A noble heart. All the characteristics can be found in the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day Date 36, with its iconic middle case made of 18k white gold, bezel with 52 brilliant-cut diamonds and dial radiating the rainbow colours of 10 baguette-cut sapphires, which conceals the Perpetual (Calibre 3255) movement with bidirectional automatic winding. Paying tribute to the first tourbillon debuted at the Paris Universal Exhibition of 1900, A. Lange & Söhne proposes the «25th Anniversary», Lange 1 Tourbillon. Presented in silver and blue, it has 38.5 mm white gold case that encloses a silvered dial and burnished silver hands. Inside, the calibre (L961.4) is precision-adjusted in five positions, while the outsize date is engraved in blue on the intermediate wheel cock. The tourbillon, held between two diamond endstones, is visible in an aperture on the dial and through the glass units disc. The Dior Grand Soir Reine des Abeilles No. 14 jewel timepiece, sparkling with white gold and paved with snow-set round-cut diamonds, features a bee on the dial with white mother-of-pearl orb and precious stones on yellow gold wings. On this issue the exceptional watches of Rolex, A. Lange & Söhne, Dior, Richard Mille, Dolce&Gabbana, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Harry Winston, Vacheron Constantin, IWC, MB&F and Roger Dubuis.

The Haute Couture collections for Autumn-Winter 2019/2020 clothe women with casual elegance using fluid forms and unique glamour. A new chic nonchalance enveloped in light, lithe volumes is highlighted by colours, as well as black and white, which are expressed using a strong, sensual language for women with bold personalities. The savoir-faire of ateliers is visible in every detail, from the raw materials - satin, tweed, wool, velvet, chiffon, linen, organza, lace, embroidery, feathers and pearls - to the tailored cuts with delicate, graceful lines. Femininity dances among dresses, trousers, skirts, blouses and warm coats. Exquisite details and cuts introduce a new approach to allure. On this issue the Haute Couture of Christian Dior, Chanel, Giorgio Amani Privé, Georges Chakra, Gaultier Paris, Ziad Nakad, Ralph & Russo, Viktor&Rolf and Guo Pei.

The Mediterranean collection by de GRISOGONO comprises Haute Joaillerie creations in turquoise that conjure up the magnificence of the sea in all its intense reflections of turquoise blue or emerald green, which have been translated by the Geneva jeweller into sophisticated compositions. In the white gold necklace and ring, diamonds and natural turquoise gems are combined with amethyst or pink sapphires that evoke the richness of Mediterranean flora. Earrings display turquoise pendants, emeralds and blue sapphires that recall the waves of the ocean. On this issue the Haute Joaillerie by de GRISOGONO, Dior, Piaget and Tiffany & Co.
