The casual waterproof canvas is given a touch of elegance with tobacco bis leather. Available at Berluti Ngee Ann City boutique.
Big on features
Do not let the name Little Lange 1 Moon Phase by A. Lange & Söhne fool you into thinking that this timepiece compromises on technical features. On the contrary, this watch packs quite a few new surprises to set it apart from its predecessor, the Lange 1 Moon Phase. It has a 36.8mm pink-gold case with an argent-gold dial; on the dial lie two golden moons, the lunar disc in matching argent colour. Beneath the timepiece are the Lange handassembled manufacture calibre L121.2, which is manually wound with plates made of untreated German silver, and the iconic hand-engraved balance cock.
Speed cooking
Let your inner chef out with the WMF Speed Profi frying pan. It has a Rapid Heat Control feature that ensures even distribution of oil and heat. The pan heats up within minutes, allowing you to start cooking immediately. You can use it to toast, fry or stew dishes.
Dive into this
Swiss watchmaker Ulysse Nardin has introduced the Diver Chronograph Artemis Racing in tribute to the sailing team. The limited-edition watch, with only 250 pieces produced, has a dashing and elegant design. At first glance, the ultramarine colour and distinctive wave pattern on both sides of the bezel evoke its aquatic DNA, with a picture of Artemis Racing’s catamaran subtly engraved on the dial. The watch is water-resistant up to 200m and its unidirectional bezel allows divers to keep track of their time under water. The bold yellow accents enhance legibility and provide a nice, sporty contrast. The watch is finished with a medallion on the caseback, expressively depicting the catamaran racing.
Cool dudes
From the legacy of Hugo Man emerges a new scent crafted with a unique blend of invigorating ingredients. Hugo Iced gets its cool from its iced mint top note, which immediately infiltrates the senses. This settles into a multilayered scent with wild tea at its core, and a playful juxtaposition of juniper and bitter orange. At the base is a distinctively earthy note of wild vetiver.
The dark side
Yves Saint Laurent creative director Anthony Vaccarello goes dark for his winter 2017 collection for men. But rather than being ominous, his creations lean more towards the romantic.
