Renowned for Italian artistry, meticulous craftsmanship, and an unwavering commitment to innovation, Sanlorenzo creates yachts that are as serene as they are sophisticated. Spacious decks become private sanctuaries for unwinding, while beautifully curated interiors envelop you in quiet luxury.

Life onboard is designed to transport you away from the ordinary. For some, that means switching off completely, finding stillness as the yacht glides quietly from one anchorage to the next. For others, it is the thrill of adrenaline fuelled watersports, beach explorations, or tasting the chef’s latest culinary creation. However you choose to rejuvenate, a Sanlorenzo charter allows you to do so entirely on your own terms.

To see a Sanlorenzo is to believe in its beauty. To experience one is to truly understand its magic.

The journey begins before you step onboard

Perhaps you wish to anchor in a quiet bay for sunrise yoga, explore hidden coves accessible only by tender, enjoy a beach picnic meticulously prepared by your onboard chef, or experience a mix of glamorous evenings in harbour and tranquil nights beneath the stars. Your preferences - culinary, cultural, and recreationalbecome the bespoke blueprint for your voyage. Your captain and crew are fully briefed on your wishes before you arrive, ensuring your time onboard feels effortlessly intuitive. They anticipate needs before they arise, offering discreet, attentive service while maintaining the relaxed ambience that makes a Sanlorenzo charter so special.

Where every moment belongs to you

THE IWC SCHAFFHAUSEN INGENIEUR AUTOMATIC 42 IN BLACK CERAMIC

IWC Schaffhausen introduces the Ingenieur Automatic 42 in black ceramic at Watches and Wonders Geneva. It combines the Gérald Genta-derived integrated bracelet design with a full ceramic execution for the first time. To achieve a faithful ceramic translation of the emblematic design, the watch features an innovative multi-part ceramic case construction. The model is also distinguished by a high level of detail in the finishing of its ceramic components with a combination of satin-finishing, sandblasting and polishing. The IWC-manufactured 82110 calibre with a Pellaton winding system, ceramic components and a power reserve of 60 hours is visible through the tinted sapphire glass case back.

Ceramic is extremely hard and resistant to scratches but also lighter than steel and unaffected by temperature changes. These properties make it an ideal material for use in wristwatches. IWC Schaffhausen’s ceramic expertise dates back almost four decades. In 1986, the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer introduced the world’s first wristwatch with a black zirconium oxide ceramic case. Following that milestone, IWC’s engineers have continued to innovate in this field and introduced material innovations including silicon nitride, boron carbide, coloured ceramics and, most recently, the first watch cases made with a Ceramic Matrix Composite (CMC).

The Ingenieur Automatic 42 (Ref. IW338903) combines the Gérald Genta-derived integrated bracelet design with a full ceramic execution for the first time. The case ring,

bezel and case back ring are all made of black zirconium oxide ceramic. Even addon parts like the crown protection and the crown are made of this extremely hard and scratch-resistant material. Connecting to the case via its middle links, the integrated black ceramic bracelet offers perfect ergonomics. As ceramic is a particularly light material, the bracelet is highly comfortable to wear. The black dial features the characteristic “Grid” structure consisting of small lines and squares, a hallmark design feature of the IWC Ingenieur. Ensuring excellent legibility, the black hands and metal markers are filled with Super-LumiNova®.

MULTI -PART PURE CERAMIC CASE CONSTRUCTION

The Ingenieur Automatic 42 represents a true-toproportion ceramic execution of the emblematic Ingenieur design that is as slim as possible. To achieve this, IWC opted

for a pure ceramic case construction with three parts. The case ring, bezel and case back ring are all made of ceramic. As the bezel and the case back ring are secured to the case ring with functional screws, this construction also requires a titanium ring on the inside. The ring accommodates the screws from the front and the back, holds the movement and contributes to a high water resistance of 10 bar. Instead of being held by the titanium ring, the sapphire crystals on the front and the back are pressed directly into the ceramic parts. This innovative new approach makes it possible to achieve a ceramic translation where the case construction remains perfectly faithful to the original stainless steel design. Maintaining the characteristic proportions and intricate angles of the Ingenieur while ensuring structural integrity and waterproofing marks an outstanding design and engineering achievement.

A HIGH LEVEL OF DETAIL IN THE CERAMIC FINISHING

With a hardness value of about 1300 Vickers, zirconium oxide ceramic ranks among the hardest materials on Earth. After the sintering process, ceramic can only be processed using diamond-tipped tools. For the Ingenieur Automatic 42, IWC has pushed the boundaries in ceramic finishing. The case components are satinfinished and then treated with a smooth sand-blasting, with a delicate polishing around their edges. The bracelet links boast the same elaborate surface treatment with a combination of satin-finishing, sandblasting and polishing. This multi-stage and highly complex finishing results in a refined aesthetic, offering the perfect level of light reflection.

PELLATON WINDING SYSTEM WITH CERAMIC COMPONENTS

The Ingenieur Automatic 42 is powered by the IWC-manufactured 82110 calibre. Its Pellaton winding system efficiently converts movements of the oscillating mass in both directions to energy for the mainspring, building up a power reserve of 60 hours. Components of the winding system that are subject to high stress are made of virtually wear-free zirconium oxide ceramic. The automatic wheel and the clicks are made of black ceramic, while the rotor bearing is made of white ceramic. The balance oscillates at a rate of 4 Hertz, ensuring precise timekeeping. The movement is visible through a tinted sapphire glass case back, complementing the watch’s all-black design.

Adel Aref

THE VISIONARY WHO REDEFINED LUXURY IN RACKET SPORTS

From Grand Slam courts to iconic floating matches and VIP spaces at Paris Saint-Germain, Adel Aref has spent more than two decades redefining how racket sports intersect with luxury, entertainment, and global influence. Franco-Tunisian, multilingual, and internationally respected, his journey spans elite tennis officiating, premium sports hospitality, padel’s professional rise, and now the future of pickleball and bespoke sports consultancy through AA Solutions. In this interview, Adel Aref shares his vision of sport as culture, spectacle, and a powerful platform for influence.

You began your career as one of the youngest Gold Badge referees in tennis history. How did that early recognition shape your mindset about excellence and discipline?

Starting tennis at age 8 between London and Tunis, I learned early that excellence requires consistency and attention to detail. Earning the Gold Badge at 24 taught me that in elite sport, every decision matters. That mindset, excellence isn’t negotiable, has guided everything since.

Officiating 26 Grand Slams and three Olympic Games is a rare achievement. What moments most defined you during those years on court?

The longevity itself. Being consistently trusted by international bodies over years built my credibility. I learned that in high-pressure moments, you must be invisible when things go right and decisive when they don’t.

The Federer–Nadal floating court match in Doha became legendary. What sparked the idea of turning a tennis match into a global spectacle?

I realized tennis didn’t have to be confined to traditional stadiums. The floating court showed that racket sports could be elevated into premium entertainment,

Cover Story

sport as theater and culture, not just competition.

You’ve often spoken about sport as entertainment. Where do you draw the line between competition and showmanship?

The competition must always be authentic. Showmanship is about presentation, atmosphere, storytelling, but never compromises the integrity of the sport itself. Elite athletes want both: world-class competition in extraordinary settings.

At Paris Saint-Germain, you transformed the Carré VIP into a hub of culture, diplomacy, and influence. What does “luxury hospitality” truly mean in a sports context?

Luxury hospitality is creating spaces where power, culture, and sport intersect naturally. It’s about access, exclusivity, and invisible precision knowing what someone needs before they ask. That’s true luxury.

Hosting global icons like Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and Leonardo DiCaprio requires more than access. What is the secret behind managing high-profile personalities seamlessly?

Discretion, anticipation, and respect. The best hospitality is invisible: everything works perfectly without them ever thinking about the machinery behind it. You can’t fake authenticity.

How did your background in elite tennis help you raise standards in football hospitality at PSG?

Tennis taught me precision and protocol. I applied Grand Slam standards to PSG—worldclass service, attention to detail, international protocol. Tennis showed me what excellence looks like; PSG gave me the platform to implement it at scale.

Padel has seen explosive global growth. As Tour Director of Premier Padel, what were the key pillars you focused on to professionalize the sport?

Three pillars: infrastructure (24-stage circuit, consistent standards), player experience (quality facilities, competitive prize pools), and global credibility (world-class production, strategic positioning as premium entertainment).

Cover

Story

What lessons from tennis did you deliberately transfer to padel—and which ones did you have to reinvent?

From tennis: player relations, tournament standards, premium positioning. What I reinvented: the entertainment model. Padel is faster, more social, younger audience, it needed its own identity, not a tennis imitation.

Managing the career of Ons Jabeur adds another dimension to your profile. How does cultural proximity influence trust in athlete management?

Shared language and cultural context create a foundation of trust that’s difficult to replicate. I understand the pressures she faces representing Tunisia and the Arab world. That cultural connection allows efficient communication and mutual respect.

You are now launching Top Series Pickleball in EMEA. Why do you believe pickleball is the next major racket sport for the region?

Pickleball has everything EMEA needs: accessibility, speed, social appeal, explosive growth momentum. Tennis is established, padel is booming, pickleball is the next frontier. We’re at the inflection point, Top Series will professionalize it before anyone else does.

How will you differentiate Top Series Pickleball from existing circuits in terms of experience, image, and prestige?

Three pillars: Experience (premium hospitality, world-class player services), Image (positioning as entertainment and lifestyle, not amateur sport), Prestige (WPA

ranking integration, competitive prize pools, flagship cities, premium brand partnerships). We’re applying 25 years of racket sports expertise from day one.

Across tennis, padel, and pickleball, what common thread defines a “premium” racket sports experience?

Never compromise on quality. Premium means worldclass facilities, professional treatment, sophisticated production, attention to detail. Excellence is felt, not announced, it’s in the seamless execution.

With the creation of AA Solutions, you move into agency leadership. What gaps in the market are you aiming to fill?

We go beyond traditional sports management: athlete career strategy, tournament development, premium experience design, brand positioning. Few people have operated at elite levels across multiple racket sports and premium hospitality. That’s what AA Solutions offers.

Looking ahead, how do you see racket sports evolving as platforms for global influence, luxury branding, and cultural impact?

Racket sports are becoming platforms for lifestyle, culture, business, and influence not just sport. The future is convergence: creating experiences, building communities, generating cultural moments. Luxury brands see racket sports as ideal partnerships. The circuits that succeed will understand this evolution.

Aston Martin DB12 S: The new pinnacle of performance and style

Aston Martin is proud to announce a new DB12 halo model, the DB12 S. Taking the thrilling, driver-focussed DB12 as its start point, DB12 S builds on that pioneering recipe of intensely dynamic ultra-luxury performance by adding more power and even greater dynamic prowess. Together with striking exterior changes and extensive interior enhancements, DB12 S is the new pinnacle of Super Tourer.

Joining DBX S and Vantage S, DB12 S is the latest to honour Aston Martin’s long tradition of applying the ‘S’ suffix to the highest performing derivative of an established model. This custom began in 1953 with the glorious DB3S road racer. More recent examples include the first and second generation Vanquish S –launched in 2004 and 2016 respectively - V8 and V12 Vantage S models introduced in 2011 and 2013, and the magnificent four-seater Rapide S, also launched in 2013.

The heart of the DB12 S is an even more potent version of the formidable Aston Martin 4.0-Litre Twin-Turbo V8. Now with 700PS @ 6000rpm - an increase of 20PS - and 800Nm delivered between 3000 and 6000rpm, the DB12 S offers scintillating response, relentless acceleration and a 202mph top speed.

In keeping with this intensified spirit, DB12 S features a distinctive new exhaust sound character. The new quad tailpipe stainless steel sports exhaust system has been tuned to accentuate the engine frequencies throughout the rev range for added depth and potency. An optional titanium exhaust system amplifies that soundtrack, further boosting the bass, mid and treble frequencies uplifting the sound level by 1.5dB. while also reducing weight by 11.7kg compared to the stainless steel system.

Calibration changes to the powertrain have optimised the Launch

Control system, reducing gearshift times by more than 50% and contributing to a 0.1sec improvement in 0-60mph time, which is now just 3.4 seconds. Aston Martin engineers have further honed the throttle pedal calibration, introducing a more progressive throttle pedal feel with a new S-specific drive-by-wire throttle map to give the driver an even greater sense of connection and control.

An extensive package of chassis changes, target a commensurate increase in the driver’s sense of agility, connection and precision together with improvements in feel and composure. Software changes to the Bilstein DTX dampers to improve roll and pitch control work in harmony with a stiffer rear anti-roll bar and finessed camber, toe and castor geometry settings. Combining these changes bring improvements in front-end confidence and overall agility feel.

Additional tuning of the steering calibration and electronic rear differential (E-diff) has enabled Aston Martin’s chassis engineers to dial-in further connection and response for even more natural and intuitive feel. With the ability to use more throttle earlier in the corner for maximum satisfaction from corner entry to exit, DB12 S achieves an impeccable balance of agility and exploitability, together with an underlying stability for ultimate confidence and enjoyment.

Another significant upgrade for the DB12 S is the standard fitment of Carbon Ceramic Brakes (CCB). Offering increased braking performance and thermal capacity together with a significant reduction in unsprung weight, the CCBs – 410mm diameter at the front, 360mm at the rear - combine linear brake response and consistent pedal feel with exceptional resistance to fade. They also save 27kg of unsprung weight compared to steel brakes, which brings benefits to ride quality, steering feel and dynamic handling behaviour.

The DB12 S also benefits from the next generation of corner braking

control system (CBC), which optimises interaction between the Integrated Brake Slip Control and the Integrated Vehicle Control modules. A predictive function within the CBC allows the car to maintain optimum stability while trail braking into a corner, using more of the rear braking performance to maintain a tighter line from corner entry to apex.

This system allows the driver to brake later and with improved stability, the Integrated Brake Slip Control system providing torque vectoring across the rear axle to provide predictable, precise and consistent cornering behaviour in all driving environments, from twisting country roads, high-speed

highway junction exits or driving on a racetrack.

Aston Martin Director of Vehicle Performance, Simon Newton said “The technology we introduced with the DB12 now allows us exceptional scope to explore a new depth of character and capability within the same vehicle platform. With DB12 S we have carefully engineered a host of detailed changes, which, preserve signature levels of refinement, boost vehicle performance and amplify driver engagement. Having added this greater dynamic and performance bandwidth to DB12 S, we believe this elevates the Super Tourer ethos to a thrilling new level.”

Need for Speed

Visually, the new DB12 S reflects its significantly bolstered performance and sporting feel with a striking new look. Starting at the front, the DB12 S is identified by new dual element front splitter and new bonnet louvres, with each performing a functional and aesthetic role.

The splitter visually lowers and widens the DB12 S to create a more assertive look, while also generating downforce and guiding airflow in and around the front wheel arches to stabilise airflow and further reduce lift. The bonnet louvres – finished in gloss black or optional 2x2 Twill Carbon Fibre - aid extraction of hot air from the ‘hot-V’ configured 4.0-litre V8 while completing DB12 S’s more aggressive frontal aspect.

Moving to the flanks, DB12 S features gloss black sill additions. These continue the line formed by the new front splitter, further enhancing the ground-hugging stance. DB12 S also continues the tradition of carrying S badges in key locations. Specifically, on the

fenders just below each side strake. Featuring a hand-made, in either bright or dark chrome, forged ‘S’ badge completed with red glass enamel, it is a discreet but enduring mark of performance.

The rear design of the DB12 S makes an emphatic statement, capturing the essence of boosted power, sharpened dynamics and an unforgettable soundtrack. Once again aerodynamics play a major role, the fixed rear spoiler adding drama and increasing high speed stability. Below sits the new rear diffuser, which reduces lift while allowing space for the DB12 S signature stacked pairs of exhaust tailpipes, which are framed within a broader rear bumper for maximum visual impact.

In common with its ‘S’ badged stablemates in the revitalised Aston Martin range, the interior of DB12 S features a host of distinguishing details unique to the halo model. Foremost amongst these is a red anodised finish to the knurled metal drive mode rotary controller, which

also informs the colour of the seatbelts, contrast seat welts, contrast stitching and headrest embroidery.

Amongst the enticing options offered on DB12 S are an Alcantara® heated sports steering wheel, and the iconic Aston Martin wings applied to the seat headrests by an industry-first technique using both embossing and debossing for unprecedented precision and sculptural depth.

DB12 S comes with a choice of three interior trim environments; Accelerate leather and Alcantara trim, Inspire S semi-aniline leather and Alcantara and Inspire S full semi-aniline leather. Both Inspire S packages include S Herringbone quilting with micro-perforations and an Alcantara headlining. DB12 S is fitted with 16-way Sport Plus electric front seats as standard, plus the option of a Carbon Fibre Performance seat.

DB12 S is available to order now, in Coupe and Volante form, with deliveries commencing in Q1 2026.

FERRARI 849 TESTAROSSA SPIDER

Open-Air Power, Reimagined

Ferrari has once again redefined the boundaries of performance, design, and emotion with the unveiling of the 849 Testarossa Spider—a plug-in hybrid berlinetta spider that stands at the pinnacle of the brand’s open-top range. Blending cutting-edge hybrid technology with an unmistakable lineage rooted in Maranello’s racing heritage, the 849 Testarossa Spider is not merely a successor to the SF90 Spider; it is a bold statement about the future of Ferrari performance.

Need for Speed

Designed for the most discerning clients, this extraordinary model revives one of the most legendary names in Ferrari history—Testarossa—a name synonymous with extreme performance, racing pedigree, and unmistakable style. From its dramatic sculpted lines to its record-breaking power output, the 849 Testarossa Spider embodies Ferrari’s relentless pursuit of excellence.

A Legacy Reborn

The return of the Testarossa name carries profound significance. First introduced in 1956 on the 500 TR, the designation referenced the red-painted cam covers of Ferrari’s racing engines, later becoming immortalized by the iconic 1984 Testarossa road car. Seventy years later, Ferrari revives this legendary badge for a model that perfectly balances heritage with innovation.

The 849 Testarossa Spider is conceived as both a true coupé and a true spider, thanks to Ferrari’s retractable hard top (RHT). The roof opens or closes in just 14 seconds, even while driving at speeds of up to 45 km/h, allowing drivers to seamlessly transition between refined grand touring and exhilarating open-air driving.

Record-Breaking Hybrid Performance

At the heart of the 849 Testarossa Spider lies Ferrari’s most powerful production powertrain to date. The car is powered by a thoroughly re-engineered twin-turbo V8, now producing 830 cv, paired with three electric motors that deliver an additional 220 cv. Together, they generate an astonishing 1,050 cv, setting a new benchmark for a road-going Ferrari.

This advanced plug-in hybrid architecture draws directly from Ferrari’s motorsport expertise. Two electric motors on the front axle enable intelligent torque vectoring and on-demand all-wheel drive, while a rear-mounted motor—derived from Formula 1 technology— works in harmony with the internal combustion engine to deliver explosive acceleration and razor-sharp responsiveness.

Despite the dramatic increase in power, extensive weight-reduction measures ensure that the 849 Testarossa Spider matches the weight of the SF90 Spider, resulting in the best power-to-weight ratio ever achieved in a Ferrari range model.

Precision, Control, and Emotion

Ferrari engineers have refined every aspect of the driving experience to ensure that the 849 Testarossa Spider remains thrilling yet accessible. The introduction of ABS Evo and the advanced FIVE (Ferrari Integrated Vehicle Estimator) system elevates electronic control to an unprecedented level, enhancing braking precision, stability, and confidence in all driving conditions.

The chassis, suspension, and braking systems have been comprehensively revised to cope with the car’s immense performance. Larger brakes, optimized cooling, and a newly tuned suspension setup deliver exceptional consistency on road and track alike, while maintaining ride comfort befitting a luxury supercar.

Sound, an essential element of the Ferrari experience, has been meticulously engineered. The V8’s acoustic signature is richer and more expressive across the rev range, culminating in an exhilarating crescendo as the engine approaches its 8,300 rpm redline—an immersive symphony of power, vibration, and speed.

Sculpted by Aerodynamics

From a design perspective, the 849 Testarossa Spider represents a radical evolution of Ferrari’s mid-rear V8 berlinetta language. Inspired by the 1970s Sports Prototypes, the exterior

Need for Speed

combines sharp geometric forms with advanced aerodynamic solutions that seamlessly blend form and function.

The result is a car capable of generating 415 kg of downforce at 250 km/h, an improvement over the SF90 Spider, while also enhancing cooling efficiency by 15%. Key features include a redesigned front underfloor, active rear spoiler, twin-tail rear architecture inspired by the Ferrari 512 S, and a multi-level rear diffuser.

A patented wind management system positioned behind the seats significantly reduces turbulence when driving with the roof open, ensuring comfort without compromising performance.

A Cockpit Designed Around the Driver

Inside, the 849 Testarossa Spider offers a cockpit that is both futuristic and unmistakably Ferrari. The interior blends the architecture of a berlinetta with the focused ergonomics of a single-seater race car. A redesigned steering wheel reintroduces mechanical buttons, including the iconic engine start button, enhancing tactility and driver engagement.

Need for Speed

The new HMI system simplifies interaction with the vehicle, while premium materials, sculpted seats, and meticulous attention to detail create an environment that is both luxurious and performance-driven. Connectivity features such as Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto®, and wireless charging ensure modern convenience without distraction.

Exclusivity, Personalisation, and Peace of Mind

For clients seeking the ultimate expression of performance, Ferrari offers the Assetto Fiorano specification—an optional configuration focused on maximum dynamic capability. With extensive use of carbon fibre and titanium, weight is reduced by approximately 30 kg, while aerodynamic enhancements significantly increase downforce.

A wide range of personalization options allows each 849 Testarossa Spider to be uniquely tailored, including exclusive new exterior colours and bespoke interior trims. Ferrari’s renowned seven-year maintenance programme further ensures complete peace of mind, preserving performance and value over time.

The Ultimate Open-Top Ferrari

The 849 Testarossa Spider is more than a technological showcase—it is a celebration of Ferrari’s past, present, and future. Combining breathtaking performance, iconic design, and open-air exhilaration, it stands as a new reference point in the world of luxury supercars.

For those who demand the absolute best, the 849 Testarossa Spider delivers an experience that is as emotionally charged as it is technically advanced—a true Prancing Horse for a new era.

Conscious luxury on the water

Sanlorenzo’s vision for sustainability afloat

In an era where refined taste meets environmental responsibility, Sanlorenzo is redefining what it means to indulge in luxury on the water.

Successfully positioning itself at the forefront of eco-conscious innovation in the luxury yacht and superyacht industry, Sanlorenzo’s business strategy is firmly rooted in the belief that true innovation must go hand in hand with environmental responsibility.

The debut of the 50Steel in 2024 marked a pivotal milestone in the shipyard’s sustainable evolution, ushering in a new chapter towards carbon-neutral yachting with the

delivery of the world’s first superyacht equipped with a Green Methanol Reformer Fuel Cell system, capable of powering the hotel systems with zero emissions.

Sustainable onboard energy

While it may sound like a marvel of modern engineering, and it is, this innovation is much more than a technical achievement. Developed in collaboration with Siemens Energy, this revolutionary technology converts green methanol into hydrogen and subsequently into electricity, powering all onboard systems without the need to store hydrogen.

The implications are as elegant as they are transformative: the yacht can generate up to 100kW of electrical

energy with its engines and diesel generators completely shut down. The result? Whisper-quiet serenity at anchor, uninterrupted by fumes or fuel consumption, a truly seamless blend of luxury and sustainability.

Guided by insight

Sanlorenzo’s commitment to sustainability goes beyond innovationit is guided by data-driven insight which revealed that yachts spend 90% of their time at anchor. With this knowledge, Sanlorenzo strategically focused its energy reform on stationary emissions. The outcome is a system that not only meets but anticipates future regulatory standards, contributing to a 20-30% annual reduction in emissions, in line with the IMO’s 2030 environmental targets.

This is conscious luxury: a quiet retreat where the environment is respected as deeply as the experience is enjoyed.

Why green methanol is the future

Unlike other transitional fuels, green methanol offers both practicality and purity. Already available in over 100 ports worldwide, it stands as a viable, scalable alternative to diesel. What distinguishes it further is its carbon-neutral lifecycle: created exclusively using renewable energy and captured atmospheric CO2, it emits only what it has already removed, forming a closed and harmonious energy loop.

When compared to conventional fuels like diesel, ammonia, or LNG, green methanol is a clear frontrunner for those seeking elevated experiences with minimal footprint.

Behind the innovation

At the heart of this game-changing system lies a modular Fuel Cell setup, comprised of 20 modules - each producing 5 kW - for a total capacity of 100 kW. Here’s how it works:

• The Reformer converts a 60/40 mixture of methanol and water into hydrogen without the need to store pure hydrogen.

• The Fuel Cells then convert this hydrogen into electrical energy in real-time.

The process occurs at slightly elevated temperatures but under normal pressure, eliminating complex safety concerns. The only byproduct - water vapor - is condensed and recycled back into the system, creating an elegant cycle of energy production with zero waste.

This innovation doesn’t merely avoid emissions, it reimagines the relationship between technology and nature on board. Power is drawn and used immediately, reducing reliance on heavy infrastructure and creating a more serene yachting experience.

To own a Sanlorenzo is no longer just a statement of taste. It is a commitment to a future where indulgence meets integrity, and where true luxury is measured not only by what you experience but by what you leave untouched.

A REPUTATION built on results

01. 123 Rosyln Street, Brighton

This newly built architectural home secured its sale within five weeks, following strong interest from families seeking a premium turnkey option. The successful buyers, who were initially seeking a renovation project, discovered the property through social media and quickly shifted focus after inspecting its craftsmanship, luxury finishes and resort-style spaces. The quality of the home and the ease of a move-in-ready lifestyle ultimately made it the clear choice. Sold by Matthew Pillios, Kevin Yim and Melissa Grinter.

02. 14 Norfolk Road, Surrey Hills

This Hamptons-inspired family residence drew sustained interest throughout its campaign, culminating in a result exceeding $6 million and setting a new record for a weatherboard home in Surrey Hills. Strong local engagement was complemented by significant digital traction and widespread media coverage across print, online and broadcast, amplified by the home’s appearance in the Hollywood production Ricky Stanicky, starring Zac Efron. Two committed bidders competed at auction, with the successful buyers—already

living within 1km—drawn to the home’s craftsmanship, generous proportions and family-focused design. Sold by Scott Patterson, Walter Dodich and Jacqui Bendall.

03. 39 Glassford Street, Armadale

AA well-executed expressions of interest campaign delivered a result that exceeded expectations for this beautifully renovated Edwardian residence. Three buyers progressed to the final stage, resulting in a private boardroom auction being called where the property was on the market at $6 million. Its refined architecture, poolside entertaining spaces and prime position near High Street resonated strongly with local families. The eventual purchaser discovered the property through a print advertisement— reinforcing the impact of a strategically layered campaign in the prestige market. Sold by Gerald Delany and Nicole Gleeson.

04. 2331 Mornington-Flinders Road, Flinders

Set just moments from Flinders Village, this beautifully renovated single-level home delivered strong interest from weekenders seeking acreage close to the coast. Set

on approximately eight manageable acres, the property appealed for its balance of rural ambience and low-maintenance liveability—complete with sweeping views across a tranquil dam and rolling lawns. The purchasers, a Melbourne family who had long aspired to secure land near the village, were drawn to the turnkey interiors, generous outdoor space and room for children to roam. Sold by Andrew Hines and Cass Hines.

05. Penthouse/65 Lansell Road, Toorak (leased)

Leased off market on a long-term lease for $8000 per week (rising to $8400 in the second year), this extraordinary penthouse set a new benchmark for Toorak’s prestige rental market. The result reflects both the depth of demand in Melbourne’s luxury leasing sector and the calibre of renters seeking uncompromising quality. The Cera Stribley–designed residence impressed with its private lift access, expansive indoor–outdoor living, and panoramic terrace. Kay & Burton’s strategy delivered a swift, seamless outcome befitting one of Toorak’s finest sky residences. Leased by Evelyne Surja.

Kay & Burton has always been a leader in the premium and luxury real estate markets. Since selling our first home in 1938, our success has been underpinned by the depth of knowledge, experience and relationships that we have formed within the markets in which we operate. We are proud to present some of our top results from the past quarter.

3D COLLAGEN PLUMPING COMPLEX

HERMÈS PLEIN AIR

Luminous Matte Skincare Foundation

Hermès expands its vision of a fresh, free, and naturally radiant complexion with the introduction of Hermès Plein

Air Luminous Matte Skincare Foundation—a product that redefines foundation as both make-up and skincare, elegance and performance, discretion and expression.

Conceived by Gregoris Pyrpylis, Creative Director of Hermès Beauty, this new foundation is designed as an invisible base for the face: a neutral, second-skin veil that enhances rather than transforms. It is a foundation that gives every personality the freedom to express itself, delivering radiance that feels effortless, sophisticated, and unmistakably Hermès.

A Unique Object of Beauty

True to the House’s heritage, Hermès Plein Air is as much an object of design as it is a beauty essential. Created by Pierre Hardy, the bottle embodies pure, graphic elegance through the combination of two noble forms—a circle and a square—crafted in glass and metal. Part-frosted and part-transparent, the bottle plays subtly with light and perception.

A black metal pump engraved with Hermès Paris contrasts with a lacquered black-and-white metal cap, crowned by the House’s iconic exlibris in gold permabrass. Every detail reflects Hermès’ commitment to timeless design, precision, and tactile pleasure.

A Foundation Designed for Every Skin Foundation is the most personal of make-up products—once the perfect match is found, it becomes indispensable. Hermès Plein Air luminous matte skincare foundation offers medium coverage with a luminous matte finish that perfects the complexion without drawing attention to itself. Comfortable and undetectable, it blends seamlessly into the skin, blurring imperfections and restoring natural radiance.

The collection includes thirty-four shades, carefully developed to suit a broad spectrum of skin tones. These shades are organised into five colour intensities—light, light-medium, medium, medium-deep, and deep—each available in three undertones: cool, neutral, and warm. This precise structure ensures an imperceptible match and an even, naturally luminous result.

“

As Gregoris Pyrpylis explains, “This collection is designed for a broad spectrum of skin tones. Not only do the shades adapt to each complexion, they also enhance and care for it.”

Beauty Diaries

Skincare at the Heart of the Formula

Made with 71% ingredients of natural origin, the luminous matte skincare foundation achieves the perfect balance between high-performance make-up, effective skincare, and the benefits of nature. With an 82% skincare base, the formula delivers immediate and long-lasting results, improving skin quality day after day.

At the core of the formula is a powerful trio of active ingredients: niacinamide, known for nourishing the skin and improving its overall appearance; pure hyaluronic acid, which provides intense and lasting hydration; and white mulberry extract (Morus alba L.), which helps restore bounce while protecting the skin from oxidative stress. The result is smoother, plumper skin with a refined, luminous finish.

The Art of Application

Hermès Plein Air promotes intuitive, effortless application. The foundation can be applied in two simple ways: with the Le perfecteur brush for an even, polished finish, or with the fingertips for a more natural, skin-like effect. The product is gently dotted over the face and smoothed outward, with additional layers applied as desired to build coverage.

To complement the foundation, Hermès introduces the Plein Air Perfecting Primer. Presented in a white bottle that highlights its skincare properties, the primer prepares the skin for make-up while enhancing radiance and controlling shine. Suitable for all skin types and available in a universal shade, it leaves a lightweight, satin veil that smooths, blurs pores, and prolongs the wear of make-up throughout the day.

Formulated with 92% ingredients of natural origin, the primer shares the same active skincare ingredients as the foundation, reinforcing Hermès’ philosophy of make-up that cares for the skin.

Tools in the Hermès Spirit

Tools lie at the heart of every Hermès Beauty ritual. For Plein Air, Gregoris Pyrpylis and Pierre Hardy have designed a refined set of complexion tools that unite functionality, aesthetics, and craftsmanship.

Le perfecteur brush, made in France by a heritage brushmaker established in 1793, features a bevelled shape inspired by a horse’s hoof. Its dense yet supple synthetic fibres glide effortlessly over the skin, ensuring precise, even application while minimising product absorption.

Completing the ritual is a brushed metal palette and wooden applicator, designed for mixing and applying liquid and cream textures with precision and hygiene. These noble accessories reinterpret the beauty gesture in pure Hermès style, allowing for customised application and refined control.

A New Vision of the Complexion

With Hermès Plein Air luminous matte skincare foundation, Hermès Beauty offers more than a foundation—it introduces a new vision of the complexion. A vision where make-up enhances without masking, where skincare and colour work in harmony, and where beauty is expressed with restraint, confidence, and freedom.

Essential, sensorial, and quietly luxurious, Hermès Plein Air is designed for everyday wear, from morning to evening, embodying the House’s philosophy of enduring elegance and thoughtful creation.

THE GLENLIVET UNVEILS ULTRA-RARE 56 YEAR OLD SINGLE MALT AS THE SECOND EDITION IN THE ETERNAL COLLECTION

The Glenlivet, the definitive Speyside single malt, has unveiled the highly anticipated release of the Second Edition in the Eternal Collection, the 56 Year Old. Just 60 bottles are available worldwide from today.

The Glenlivet Eternal Collection is a series of ultra-luxury, high-aged single malts. Each new limited edition released will increase in age and will be accompanied by an original artform crafted by a visionary artist. For the eagerly awaited second chapter of the Eternal Collection, The Glenlivet has collaborated with pioneering design studio Fredrikson Stallard. Renowned for their audacious, avant-garde creations, they have curated a bespoke sculpture in homage to the Speyside terroir that not only accompanies the decanter, but transforms the presentation of this exceptional single malt whisky into a work of art.

The innovative sculpture design is inspired by the rugged beauty of Speyside, The Glenlivet’s home. A testament to the whisky’s complexity and the dramatic elegance of the Scottish landscape, it powerfully depicts scorched, raw heather branches. The precious single malt is then preserved within a spherical glass decanter, carefully enthroned upon a patinated brass-plated base in the form of a ‘cairn’. This represents the chimney shaped stacks of rocks originally left before battle by ancient Highland clans as a memorial to fellow warriors and the passing of time. The decanter is finished with a 24k gold plated neck and cap, which is further embellished with a layer of coloured faceted glass in

The Glenlivet’s emblematic teal on the bottle closure.

The Glenlivet Eternal Collection, Second Edition, 56 Year Old embodies an unwavering pursuit of Scotch perfection, meticulously nurtured and matured for over five decades. Such a distinguished single malt demands unparalleled attention to every flavour detail. This inspired The Glenlivet’s team of cask experts to craft a singular bespoke sherry cask - seasoned with a unique blend of Oloroso, Pedro Ximenez, and Palo Cortado to perfectly complement The Glenlivet Eternal Collection.

One bespoke cask with this one-of-a kind-sherry was built in Spain before finishing The Glenlivet 56 Year Old in Scotland for over three years, resulting in an exquisite single malt offering an elegant and rich palate of flavours. The nose presents inviting aromas of red apples, stewed plums, orange zest, dark chocolate, and sticky toffee pudding, complemented by heather honey and roasted hazelnuts. On the palate, apricot and spiced apples lead, unfolding into velvety vanilla, toasted oak, raisins, and a subtle touch of fresh ginger. The finish is rich, incredibly smooth and enduringly complex.

Priced at €52,500, this masterpiece is poised to become a coveted addition to the world’s most discerning whisky collections following its global release today. Its introduction further cements The Glenlivet’s status at the pinnacle of single malt Scotch whisky.

“Kevin Balmforth, The Glenlivet Cask Master commented: “Crafting a single malt whisky of this age and complexity is a profound privilege. The 56 Year Old is a true testament to the dedication behind every stage of our process. Through our collaboration with Fredrikson Stallard, we crafted a design that powerfully narrates the liquid’s story to ensure this coveted release achieved its ultimate artistic expression. Together, we have created an incredible visual interpretation of the whisky’s roots and our Speyside home, a true masterpiece for any collector.”

“Patrik Fredrikson of Fredrikson Stallard commented:

“For The Glenlivet Eternal Collection, Second Edition, 56 Year Old, we sought to capture the raw, untamed spirit of Speyside and the profound age of this whisky within our sculpture. The scorched heather branches emerging from ancient rock symbolise both nature’s enduring strength and the delicate, complex beauty that time and terroir create. It’s an honour to contribute our vision to ‘The Eternal Collection’ alongside such an exceptional spirit.”

This release follows on from the unveiling of The Glenlivet Eternal Collection, Second Edition, 56 Year Old, 1 of 1 earlier this month; a one-off creation crafted specifically for the Sotheby’s Finest & Rarest Whisky auction. On November 20th, the magnificent bottle and sculpture was sold for £75,000, underscoring The Glenlivet’s continuous pursuit of excellence in the world of prestige single malt Scotch whisky.

The Eternal Collection debuted in 2024 with its inaugural release, The Glenlivet 55 Year Old, a collaboration with computational architect Michael Hansmeyer. The collection sets a new standard for ultra-luxury, high-aged single malts, inviting connoisseurs to build a collection to cherish and witness the evolving legacy of The Glenlivet.

The Glenlivet Eternal Collection, Second Edition, 56 Year Old, in collaboration with Fredrikson Stallard is available fromhttps://www.theglenlivet.com/en/whisky/56-year-old/. Please visit www.theglenlivet.com or @theglenlivet to discover more.

Marking the latest edition in Royal Salute’s esteemed Fashion Collection, this bespoke limited-edition 21 Year Old expression is a remarkable blend of heritage, craftsmanship and cutting-edge design.

a spirit that embodies both of their distinct artistic visions. Building on the acclaimed first edition in the partnership, this second collaboration delves deeper into Harris Reed’s diverse style, promising even greater collectability and creative depth.

The Royal Salute 21 Year Old Harris Reed Edition II Scotch whisky highlights a higher proportion of Longmorn and first-fill Sherry butt-matured whiskies, introducing elevated creamy and spiced notes, while Braeval malts and Strathclyde grain whiskies bring a delicate floral profile.

The result is a spirit that is both delicate and boldly expressive, balancing feminine elegance with masculine depth, a reflection of Reed’s multifaceted personality.

“Harris Reed, Royal Salute’s Global Fashion Collaborator, commented on the launch: “Collaborating with Royal Salute for a second year has been an incredible journey of creative evolution. This year, Sandy and I delved even deeper into exploring the intersection of high fashion and luxury whisky, pushing boundaries to create something truly unique and collectible. This edition is a bolder, more intricate statement, and I believe it beautifully captures the spirit of innovation that defines both Royal Salute and my own work.”

WHERE HERITAGE MEETS INNOVATION: A CONVERSATION WITH ABEL RICHARD

In the ever-evolving world of luxury, there are names that don’t just follow trends; they create legacies. Abel Richard is one such name. Born from a deep respect for heritage and a fearless embrace of innovation, Abel Richard stands at the intersection of timeless Italian craftsmanship and cutting-edge design.

Founded by Abel Richard Bullock, a distinguished entrepreneur and creative visionary, the brand is set to debut in 2025 as a new force in the ultra-luxury space. With collections spanning handbags, fragrances, eyewear, and jewelry, Abel Richard is not simply about adornments; it is about crafting symbols of artistry, sophistication, and enduring beauty.

Every creation reflects a philosophy where form, function, and emotion converge, resulting in jaw-dropping masterpieces. By combining traditional artisanship with hightech materials, Abel Richard introduces a rebirth of luxury, one that is bold, elegant, and highly innovative.

In this exclusive conversation, we sit down with Abel Richard himself to uncover the story behind the brand, his vision for the future of luxury, and how he continues to push the boundaries of creativity to shape tomorrow’s icons.

What inspired you to create the brand, and what vision did you set out with when you began this journey into ultra-luxury?

The brand started from the desire to create something truly high-end with real craftsmanship at the center. We didn’t want to do what many luxury brands do today—mass produce or dilute quality. The vision from the beginning was to open multiple boutiques in the most important markets right away, locations like Beverly Hills, New York, Miami, London, and Dubai, instead of slowly entering the market. No one has really launched this way before, and we felt this was the

right strategy to build instant credibility and show the level of brand we are building.

How would you describe the Abel Richard design DNA, and what makes your creations stand apart in today’s world of luxury?

The pieces are meant to feel like works of art, not just accessories. We’re coming out with six designs and 19 variations at launch, and each variation gives a completely different emotional response because of how we change metals, finishes, and stones. We don’t plan to fill boutiques with racks of product; we present the bags almost like museum pieces, on pedestals and behind glass, so the focus stays on craftsmanship, rarity, and the beauty of each design.

How do you strike the balance between classic Italian craftsmanship and advanced technology in your pieces?

Everything is made in Italy, mainly in Bassano del Grappa, where we have long-standing artisanal manufacturing and are expanding our facilities. At the same time, we use advanced processes where needed, like engraving pieces for 24 hours with multiple tooling changes, custom molds, and partnerships with suppliers who work in Formula racing and ultra-high-end automotive manufacturing. The goal is to honor traditional Italian craftsmanship while also incorporating technical precision when it elevates the result.

Can you tell us about the use of high-tech materials and intricate techniques and how they reshape what we traditionally perceive as luxury?

We work with partners who make carbon fiber for Formula 3 race cars and brands like Pagani. We also explore sapphire glass and precious stones like rubies and emeralds in certain designs. Some parts of the bags require specialty engraving and long machine

cycles, combined with hand-finishing. Luxury, for us, is in the level of detail, the technical difficulty, and the time and expertise behind each piece, not shortcuts.

The Abel Richard universe spans handbags, fragrances, eyewear, and jewelry. What unites these categories under one brand, and what emotional experience do you want people to feel when they own an Abel Richard creation?

Handbags lead the brand, but the boutiques will also include fragrance, eyewear, belts, and other accessories as they’re developed.

“

“To be distinguishable, one must push the limits of creativity.”

– Abel Richard

The idea is to create a full luxury environment where everything reflects the same standard of excellence and attention to detail. Clients should feel catered to, with VIP rooms, exceptional hospitality, and an elevated environment—the way true high-net-worth clients expect to be treated.

How have your personal experiences shaped your approach to luxury, and what drives you to constantly push the limits of creativity?

Being deeply involved in manufacturing and luxury production taught us how much detail truly matters. We’re very intentional about every decision, even things like choosing leather interiors on certain bags because the quality and feel needed to match the level of the piece, while still offering vegan options and responsible sourcing.

It all comes down to delivering pieces and experiences that stand up to the highest scrutiny.

Looking ahead, what is your long-term vision for Abel Richard? How do you see the brand evolving, and what legacy do you hope to leave in the world of luxury?

Our first boutique just opened in Beverly Hills, and that moment really set the tone for where the brand is headed. Each location is designed to be an experience—refined, intimate, and thoughtfully curated—and we’ll continue opening in key global luxury markets as we scale. Our production philosophy is intentional and limited. We don’t want to flood the world with products.

The goal is to create rare pieces that are meant to be cherished, not collected in volume. Pricing begins at the ultra-luxury level, starting at more than $100,000, and each bag is crafted with the same level of precision, detail, and emotional impact. Long-term, the vision is to build a modern luxury house with a point of view, one that stands for integrity, artistry, and excellence in every aspect, from design and materials to hospitality and client experience.

We don’t look at this as a fashion cycle or a trend. We’re building something lasting, meaningful, and truly elevated.
