Two Speedmaster Models Join Omega’s Collection, Celebrating the Company’s Historic Ties with Space Exploration

“The First OMEGA in Space” Makes a Vintage Return In 1962, astronaut Walter “Wally” Schirra wore his personal Speedmaster CK 2998 during the Sigma 7 mission in 1962, making it the First Omega in Space (FOiS). For 2024, the FOiS has returned to production, now with a modern Co-Axial Master Chronometer Caliber 3861 update. This year’s updated models follow the original style, each with a symmetrical 39.70 mm case in polished-brushed stainless steel. The dark bezel ring has been produced in black aluminum and features the Speedmaster’s essential tachymeter scale. There’s also a brand new hesalite-like form sapphire crystal and a CVD-coated dial in a gray- blue color. The “First Omega in Space” is available on a black or brown leather strap or a full metal bracelet.

Speedmaster Moonwatch with Lacquered White Dial Already renowned as the most iconic chronograph on Earth, the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch is now available with a lacquered white dial with black and red details, inspired by astronaut spacesuits. The 42 mm stainless steel timepiece, which houses the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Caliber 3861, is presented on a vintage-inspired stainless steel bracelet with five arched links per row. Two more versions are also available, including one on a black micro-perforated leather strap with red and white stitching, and another on an anti- bacterial rubber strap with a moon surface pattern in positive relief on the underside for increased comfort and aesthetics.

In the new Gardini Segreti floral forms tell a visual story of empowerment inspired by a mysterious yet confident woman who finds freedom by growing into her truest self, much like a leaf that blooms into a flower before elegantly transforming into a butterfly. Graceful motifs in lush 18-karat gold, kissed with glistening pavé diamonds in a delicate honeycomb setting, adorn the hands, ears, and neck with radiant elegance. collection, flowing

Pasquale Bruni’s affinity for natural elements merges with the lunar romance of a celestial world in the new Ton Joli and Petit Joli Lunaire collections. Soft and whimsical as a moonlit garden, these designs feature Pasquale Bruni’s iconic five-sided floral motif in green agate, mother-of-pearl, and onyx gems set with moonstone doublets to create a silky shimmer that echoes the phases of the moon. Subtle yet show-stopping, these ethereal gems glow in sumptuous 18-karat rose gold accentuated with twinkling diamonds, in a series of bewitching bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and rings. Some styles feature a variety of tranquil colors set together, while others — like those showcasing the delicate white Pearl of the Moon gem, made from mother-of-pearl and moonstone — would complement outfits of any color as a charming neutral.

Pasquale Bruni is synonymous with extraordinary materials and enchanting designs that create unforgettable jewels inspired by the beauty of nature, ranging from perfect everyday luxuries to high-end haute joaillerie dreams that illuminate the woman and exclusive red carpets around the world. This legendary Italian jewelry maison’s novelty collections are now available, and these freshly released styles are a fantastic demonstration of exactly why Pasquale Bruni’s creations are coveted by collectors around the world.

Each Gardini Segreti style is distinctive enough to stand out on its own, but these refined rose gold and diamond beauties — which take the form of long and lovely necklaces, elegant earrings, and ravishing rings — would also make a regal accompaniment to many other styles of jewelry in layered looks.

CELEBRATING 25 YEARS WITH A TWIST

For a quarter of a century, nestled in the hills of Vicenza, craftsmanship and creativity have intertwined, whispering contemporary elegance, dancing with light to capture timeless beauty. Marco Bicego has always interpreted this through a modern language that resonates with today’s woman. His pieces are wearable constellations, born from the alchemy of blending age-old techniques with innovative vision, creating an unmistakable aesthetic signature.

The brand’s most anticipated launch of its 25th anniversary year — Lunaria Twist — offers a modern play on a classic style. Delicate and alluring in its shapes, the collection is a contemporary marvel in its craftsmanship technique. Right before completion, the gold leaf is gently twisted, differentiating it from

other Lunaria styles. Just as its curved leaves brilliantly capture and reflect light, the collection itself is a luminous tribute to the past 25 years, while embracing an inspired vision for the future.

LUXURIOUS LINKS

By Gary Wollenhaupt

The beaches are stunning and the mild Mediterranean climate is excellent for golf and vacationing. Perched on the westernmost coast of continental Europe, Portugal’s temperatures remain mild over the winter, and the climate delivers ideal temperatures in spring and fall. Summers can get a bit toasty, so plan accordingly. You basically don’t have to worry about a winter season, so most courses are open year-round .

EUROPE’S GOLFING JEWEL PORTUGAL

Throw a dart at a map and you would be hard-pressed to find a better destination for a golfing excursion than Portugal. It’s been selected as the Best Golf Destination in Europe numerous times, including six years consecutively, as well as the Best Golf Destination in the World several times. Portugal offers a wide range of courses, more than 90 around the country, with

features suitable for different levels of experience and budget. Lisbon, specifically, is a destination renowned for its charming old neighborhoods, vibrant architecture, historic trams, delectable cuisine, and rich history. Its proximity to several areas of protected nature and World Heritage-designated monuments and landscapes is a perfect companion to a

golfing holiday or a few golf-focused days. The family can enjoy historic attractions in the nation’s capital region while you tackle Oitavos Dunes, ranked among the top golf courses in the world, known for its links- style design and Atlantic Ocean views. Don’t overlook West Cliffs, a new addition to the Lisbon golf scene, or Royal Obidos, designed by Seve Ballesteros.

let’s go!

Where to stay? The five-star Hotel Praia D’El Rey Marriott Golf & Beach Resort lies on Portugal’s picturesque west coast, an easy drive from the culturally recognized towns of Obidos and Peniche, a quaint fishing village. Just an hour’s drive from Lisbon, the resort hosts two of the leading courses in Portugal, the West Cliffs Golf Links and the Praia d’el Rey Golf Course. In the running for the most stunning golf course in Europe, Praia d’El Rey winds through pine forests and rolling dunes, with spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean and the distant Berlenga Islands.

Wherever your holiday travels may take you, be sure to pack all the accessory necessities. Need help styling your look? Whether you’re in search of an all-new look for the season, a statement necklace for a special occasion, or just want to sprinkle in a new piece or two to liven up your jewelry box favorites, come in and see all that we have in store for you.

How to Get Around Rental cars and hotel shuttles are the most common ways to get around Lisbon. A golf booking agency can help with transfers to and from courses. We can only encourage you to make Portugal your next destination for a family adventure. A golf trip there promises a respite from the familiar and an adventure into stunning natural beauty and engaging cultural destinations. Obidos, a fortified medieval town, is home to the Royal Obidos Scenic Resort. Drop off non-golfers to enjoy the sights while you face off against a 6,400-meter course on undulating terrain. Pamper your entourage at the spa and fine restaurants across the resort. Sintra is the destination for Penha Longa, a beautiful course with great views located at the base of the Sintra hills. Spend the day in Sintra touring historical attractions such as the National Palace of Pena and the Castle of the Moors. Designed by noted American golf architect Cabell B. Robinson and inaugurated in June 1997, the course features 87 bunkers, generous greens, and abundant natural vegetation surrounding lush fairways, providing a complex golfing challenge. Oitavos Dunes blends seamlessly with nature, carved from the magnificent dunes beside the Atlantic Ocean. Book accommodations at one of the oceanfront resorts, boutique hotels, and modern lodgings in the area around the course.

What’s the cost? Portugal r e m a i n s relatively affordable

that cart fees are on the high end, perhaps as an incentive to walk rather than ride the course.

What to Wear Don’t be surprised if you encounter cloudy weather when you get off the plane. It’s a tropical climate, with brief rain showers punctuating the warm and humid air. During the warmer months, book early tee times to beat the worst of the heat. Take the usual advice to heart of dressing in layers.

EXOTIC ELECTRIC

COMING SOON

Strength.Durability.Originality

LANZADOR By Gary Wollenhaupt

E Early announcements for the Lanzador feature a high-ground-clearance coupé that retains Lamborghini’s signature mid-engined proportions. However, the lack of a massive engine means there’s room for rear seats and a usefully large rear cargo area. There’s even a spacious “frunk” under the front hood. Instead of a rip-snorting turbocharged V-10, the Lanzador will be powered by two electric motors that will pump out over 1,300 horsepower, making it the most potent car in Lamborghini’s history. With an electric motor on each axle, all-wheel drive will be standard. The motor mounted on the rear axle simulates a limited-slip differential, aiding handling during cornering. Slipping into the interior feels like dropping into the cockpit of a fighter jet. There are individual digital displays for the driver and front- seat passenger, a high center console that flows into the dashboard, and a flattened steering wheel. From the steering wheel, the driver accesses the driving dynamics control system, Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata (LDVI), which allows the driver to modulate the active control systems according to the prevailing driving conditions. Active aerodynamics regulate the flow of

air from front to rear, maximizing aerodynamic efficiency across different driving modes. These driving modes can be selected via the Lamborghini ANIMA control. Opting for Efficiency provides optimal driving dynamics, the Urban mode extends the range, and the Performance mode generates increased downforce. The steerable rear axle and air suspension enable the Lanzador to adapt seamlessly to any surface and respond to the driver’s defined settings. So far, Lamborghini has not released performance specs for the production car. However, expect the capability of face- melting acceleration. For Lamborghini, the Lanzador represents a fourth model concept, the Ultra GT, supporting its decarbonization and electrification strategy. While it seems like a departure from a company known for its exotic sports cars, the Lanzador is a return to Lamborghini’s earliest designs. The first front-engine coupés from Lamborghini — the 350 and 400 GT — were sporty, elegant Gran Turismos suitable for everyday use, featuring 2+2 seating. In addition to the zero-emissions drivetrain, sustainability is woven into the Lanzador’s

DNA. Sustainable materials, primarily sourced from Italy, are found throughout the interior appointments, both visible and behind the scenes. Luxurious Merino wool dresses the dashboard, seats, and door panels. Colored thread is made of recycled materials, including nylon and plastic. Non-visible plastics, such as the foam sports seats, are made from 3D-printed recycled fibers. The integrated carbon fiber components, such as the center console and door panels, are crafted from new, two-layer composite material using regenerated carbon. Sustainable leather is tanned using special water left over from olive oil production that would otherwise have to be treated due to its high acidity and antimicrobial and phytotoxic effects. However, the residual water can be re-processed into tanning agents. The Lanzador represents the future of Lamborghini. Instead of clinging to the internal combustion tradition, the company has embraced electrification, along with cutting-edge technologies and exclusive design, to maintain its commitment to performance.

NO EVERYDAY EXOTIC

By Celine Simon

The Breitling Superocean Heritage returns with its first major update since 2017, now sleeker, sharper, and ready for sun-soaked adventures. Designed to channel the spirit of the sea with modern finishing, the new collection combines the soul of the 1950s original with contemporary proportions, streamlined features, and a nod to Hawaiian surf culture. Still one of Breitling’s most elegant sports watches, the Superocean Heritage was never about following the crowd. When it debuted in 1957, its minimalist dive-ready design with spear hands, anodized bezel, and lean silhouette made waves. This latest refresh honors that legacy while updating nearly every detail. HERITAGE COLLECTION Breitling Refreshes NEW WAVE the Superocean

A new assortment of sizes includes 36 mm, 40 mm, 42 mm, and 44 mm cases, all with a slimmer profile and new bracelets and straps designed for comfort and water-readiness. The 42 mm chronographs are powered by the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01. The automatic models in 44 mm, 42 mm, and 40 mm feature the new B31 three-hand

manufacture movement, while the 36 mm version houses the Caliber 10. Color choices have been simplified to core dial tones — black, blue, and green — and each paired with a ceramic bezel for long-lasting durability. Finishing touches, such as red gold accents and improved symmetry and proportions, bring polish without losing the watch’s sporty nature.

Man’s new best friend

The Continental GT Speed redefines the ultimate blend of supercar performance, handcrafted luxury, and everyday usability. The new exterior continues the design revolution for Bentley’s future journey, with the biggest revision to the face of the Continental GT in two decades and the first mainstream Bentley with single headlamps since the 1950s. The quality of the interior cabin continues with flawless design, and breathtaking materials and craftsmanship. The introduction of further wellness seat technology, new air ionisation, three-dimensional leather textures, new modern quilting, and technical finishes (e.g., new dark chrome) build on the class-leading interior even further.

Outstanding performance is brought by an all-new Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain with 782 PS and 1,000 Nm, from a 4.0-litre V8 working in tandem with a 190 PS electric motor. 0-60 mph in 3.1 seconds is the result, with the benefit of 50 miles (81 km) of usable electric-only range (on the EU drive cycle) and a total range of 534 miles (859 km) — creating an everyday supercar. In the top-spec Speed trim, this powertrain pumps out 771 horsepower.

“THE FOURTH-GENERATION CONTINENTAL GT IS A TRUE MASTERPIECE. OUR ARTISANS IN CREWE HAVE TRULY OUTDONE THEMSELVES, ENSURING EVERY DETAIL EXUDES LUXURY.”

Breitling also introduced the Superocean Heritage B31 Automatic 40 “Kelly Slater” Limited Edition, a 500-piece tribute to the surfing legend. With a tropical foliage dial and custom floral packaging, it’s a laid-back yet tool-ready piece that captures Slater’s deep connection to Hawaii and the ocean. From cutting through waves to relaxing on shore, the refreshed Superocean Heritage lineup proves that seaworthy watches don’t have to sacrifice elegance for performance. Whether you’re a diver, surfer, or just enjoy the look, these new models are ready to go wherever the tide takes you.

JOHN HARDY MARKS 50 YEARS WITH BOLD NEW VISION FROM REED KRAKOFF

This year marks half a century of John Hardy — a major milestone for the Bali-based jewelry house known for artisanal craftsmanship, cultural symbolism, and sustainability. Founded in 1975 by Canadian artist John Hardy, the brand gained recognition for its handwoven chains, mythological motifs, and commitment to community and the environment. Now, under the creative leadership of Reed Krakoff, John Hardy enters a bold new chapter rooted in heritage but oriented firmly toward the future. To mark its five-decade legacy, the brand has launched two commemorative collections: Icon 50 and Spear 50. Icon 50 reimagines John Hardy’s beloved heritage chain as a modern statement piece, available in sterling silver, gold, and pavé diamond variations. Spear 50 revisits one of Krakoff’s own designs

from his early tenure at the house, embuing it with Balinese symbolism and a refined, sculptural aesthetic. Together, the collections reflect a brand at the crossroads of legacy and innovation. Krakoff, who joined John Hardy as creative chairman in 2022, brings decades of industry experience and a minimalist eye honed at Coach and Tiffany & Co. Since taking the helm, he has introduced the high fine Artisan series, launched in fall 2024, showcasing rare diamonds and precious gemstones in 18K yellow and white gold. He’s also expanded existing collections like Surf, Pebble, and Love Knot, and ushered in collaborations with names including Athena Calderone (spring 2025), Todd Snyder, and Wölffer Estate. His approach has balanced reverence for traditional Balinese craftsmanship with a

clean, contemporary design language, helping John Hardy reach new audiences while deepening loyalty among longtime fans. The anniversary coincides with physical expansion, including new retail locations at Rockefeller Center in New York and Miami’s Design District, both opened in late 2024. These flagship stores underscore the brand’s growing luxury positioning, alongside a successful shop-in-shop at Saks Palm Beach Gardens and a robust wholesale presence. As John Hardy celebrates 50 years, it continues to honor the values on which it was founded — community, artisanship, and sustainability — while embracing change through visionary leadership. With Reed Krakoff steering the creative direction, the brand is poised not just to celebrate its past but to define the next era of modern jewelry design.

The red ombré dial of the new Oyster Perpetual Datejust 31 presents a subtle transition between the fire at its center and a deep darkness at its edge — a chiaroscuro enhanced by the sparkling diamonds set on the bezel and dial.

The COSMOGRAPH DAYTONA Bold contrast

The Cosmograph Daytona dons a turquoise blue lacquer dial paired with bright black counters. The rich colors set against the precious 18 k yellow gold of the case and the technical characteristics of the Oysterflex bracelet offer a remarkably refreshing combination.

The GMT-MASTER II An exclusive alliance

The GMT-Master II in 18 k Everose gold with a Cerachrom bezel insert in brown and black ceramic is now available with a dial in tiger iron. This natural stone, used by Rolex for the first time, is characterized by its complex structure. A painstaking selection and meticulous assembly have harmoniously matched it with the colors of the Oyster case and bracelet.

The LAND-DWELLER Opening new horizons Rolex begins a new chapter in its history with the Oyster Perpetual Land-Dweller. This watch is powered by a revolutionary caliber — a movement that was designed to beat at the high frequency of 5 hertz and be highly performant.

The SKY-DWELLER Vibrant reflections

For the first time, the Sky-Dweller brings together two of the brand’s iconic colors, juxtaposing a sunray-finished, bright green dial with a case and bracelet in 18 k yellow gold. This radiant dial together with the resplendent reflections from the fluted bezel and Jubilee bracelet result in an exceptionally exuberant watch.

DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT

By Jennifer Brugh

roberto coin

Pairing these philosophies and creations, Coin manages to balance tradition and innovation, making his brand one of the most dynamic forces in modern jewelry. At his Italian atelier, master artisans — some with decades of experience, others with fresh, modern perspectives — work side by side to bring his visions to life. Their process is one of meticulous craftsman- ship, where time-honored techniques merge with cutting-edge advancements to create jewelry that is both timeless and groundbreaking.

Beyond the world of jewelry, Coin is recognized as a pioneering spirit in fashion and design. His collections have graced the red carpet, appeared on the pages of top luxury publications, and influenced trends across the industry. Yet, despite his global recognition, his approach remains deeply personal. Every piece tells a story — a reflection of his own endless curiosity and passion for the arts.

Some designers create jewelry. Others redefine it.

A Visionary in the Art of Jewelry

For Roberto Coin, fine jewelry is not just an accessory but an expression of artistry, culture, and individuality. Since founding his brand in 1996, Coin has dedicated himself to creating pieces that transcend time, bringing Italian craftsmanship and global inspiration together in a way that has captivated the luxury world.

From the beginning, diversity and creativity have been at the heart of his vision. Unlike other designers who build their brand around a single recognizable motif, Coin has always sought endless reinvention, ensuring that no two collections feel the same. His mission is clear: rather than offering the same piece to every woman, his goal is to craft a different masterpiece for each, celebrating the unique beauty and personality of the wearer.

This philosophy extends beyond design and into the very DNA of his brand. Each creation is marked by a hidden ruby, a signature detail inspired by ancient Egyptian legend. Coin was drawn to the belief that rubies, worn close to the skin, bring prosperity and happiness. That is his personal wish for every woman who wears his jewelry — an intimate, unseen gesture of good fortune.

FOR ROBERTO COIN, CREATIVITY IS FREEDOM, AND JEWELRY IS MORE THAN JUST AN ADORNMENT — IT IS A STATEMENT OF IDENTITY. WITH AN EVER-EVOLVING VISION AND AN UNRELENTING DRIVE TO SURPRISE, HE CONTINUES TO SHAPE THE FUTURE OF LUXURY, ONE MASTERPIECE AT A TIME.

OUR COUPLES

Isabella & Jorge Del Toro HOW DID YOUR LOVE STORY BEGIN? Isa: We met during our first semester of college at a party. We were both at the same party, and a few weeks later, Jorge reached out to me through text. We met again for a formal date, and since then, we have been inseparable. We have been together for 5 years now. From the moment I saw him, God highlighted him to me. Fun fact: Jorge asked me to be his girlfriend at a Denny’s restaurant. He was having his favorite breakfast dish: Moons Over My Hammy, and I was having a strawberry crêpe. WHAT WAS THE MOST MEMORABLE PART OF YOUR WEDDING? We married shortly after our engagement. Two months later to be exact. Both of us were about to begin a new degree that fall, and with school and work ahead, we knew we wouldn’t have much time to plan a big wedding. So we decided on an intimate celebration in Puerto Rico with Jorge’s family, since he is originally from there. Although it was stressful to plan a wedding in just months, it was completely worth it. Now we get to call each other husband and wife!

Belen & Alexander Mendez

TELL US ABOUT THE PROPOSAL! HOW DID IT HAPPEN, AND WAS IT A SURPRISE?

Alex completely surprised me with the proposal. Just a few days before we were set to leave for a trip to Europe, he checked us into a suite at The Breakers Hotel. At first, I thought it was so random — why book something so extravagant right before a big trip? But the day unfolded beautifully: we had brunch, spent the afternoon enjoying the room, went out to dinner, and when we returned, he led me out onto the balcony to watch the waves. That’s where he got down on one knee and presented the most beautiful ring. It was intimate, thoughtful, and so us.

HOW DID WESTON JEWELERS HELP YOU FIND THE PERFECT RING?

As Weston natives, Weston Jewelers has always been part of our lives. My family has been going there since I was little, and over the years we’ve become great friends with Ed and Tracey. That made finding my engagement ring even more special — it wasn’t just about choosing a piece of jewelry, it was about creating something meaningful with people we’ve trusted and loved for years. My dad was the one who took Alex to Weston Jewelers when he started looking, which made the process even more personal. Ed guided him with such care and expertise, and the end result was a ring more beautiful than I ever imagined. Having them as part of our journey — and even at our wedding — made it all the more heartfelt.

Olivia Miller & Zackary Weiss

WAS THERE A MOMENT YOU REALIZED THEY WERE YOUR FOREVER PERSON? Yes! At a family friend’s wedding, the first wedding we went to together, we both separately thought about wanting to spend our lives together, and just recently we shared that with each other, and coincidentally it was on the same night. TELL US ABOUT THE PROPOSAL! HOW DID IT HAPPEN, AND WAS IT A SURPRISE? It was a surprise! We were at our families’ houses for Thanksgiving when Zack suggested we head back to Miami early to take a Solidcore class, which was very unusual for him! (He knew I wouldn’t have agreed to leave early otherwise). That evening, he said our friend was in town and that we were going out to meet them at their hotel for a drink. When we showed up, I saw the photographer in the bushes and knew. He had planned a dinner with our families that night, and afterward, he surprised me again with all of our friends at our apartment.

Kelsey Hoehn-Saric & Milap Lavani

WHAT ARE YOUR WEDDING PLANS? We are planning to honor both of our cultures by having a big Indian wedding and integrating parts of my culture as well - being of mixed Italian and Chinese heritage. We are very excited to bring our two families and cultures together, and there is no doubt that there will be some good food at our wedding! HOW DID WESTON JEWELERS HELP YOU FIND THE PERFECT RING? Weston Jewelers helped us take a family heirloom and turn it into the perfect ring for us. They understood how much it meant to us and respected the history behind the ring and our family. They designed a handmade, custom engagement ring and wedding band set, preserving the history of the ring and adding a modern twist to it. The whole process of designing the ring was made seamless.

A New Chapter for the Santos de Cartier Watch

The Santos de Cartier watch is a cornerstone of modern horology, born from innovation and continually reimagined to suit the times. This latest evolution honors the origins of the iconic timepiece with the introduction of a refined small model, thoughtfully sized at 27 mm x 34.5 mm. Its proportions pay tribute to the earliest Santos watches created for pioneering aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont in 1904 — the very first modern wristwatch, designed for ease of use during flight.

Remaining faithful to the collection’s style, this new interpretation preserves the aesthetic codes that have defined the Santos de Cartier for more than a century: a square case, visible screws, and fluid lines. The industrial nature of the screws contrasts elegantly with the sophistication of the new sunray-effect dial, offering subtle radiance within a streamlined silhouette. Though more compact, this edition carries the same presence and polish as the larger Santos models.

Available in all-steel, yellow gold and steel, or solid yellow gold, the watches are powered by high-autonomy quartz movements, tailored to the smaller case dimensions. Each version is water-resistant to 30 meters and features Cartier’s signature interchangeable strap system, allowing for effortless transitions between a bracelet and leather strap. The leather options, fitted with ardillon buckles, are crafted in smooth calfskin for the steel and two-tone models and in alligator for the all gold edition.

WITH ITS PRECISE DESIGN, WEARABLE PROPORTIONS, AND ENDURING PIONEERING SPIRIT, THE NEW SANTOS DE CARTIER SMALL MODEL REPRESENTS YET ANOTHER MILESTONE IN THE STORY OF A TRUE CARTIER ICON.
