Royal Ascot 2022
The 300-year story of racing at Ascot began in 1711, when Queen Anne put the idea into motion to pursue her love of horse racing. With her Platinum Jubilee taking place this year, we all hope HM the Queen will be able to attend and that this will be a Royal Ascot to remember. Horses […]
HALF A CENTURY IN FASHION
When Audemars Piguet launched its game-changing Royal Oak in 1972, girls were wearing hot pants, guys were in flares, David Bowie’s alter-ego Ziggy Stardust was in the charts with Starman, and Gucci was the global luxury fashion brand of the moment (as it is again). Five decades later and the iconic Royal Oak is still […]

Under Pressure!
Some years ago, I had the curious pleasure of interviewing an offshore commercial diver.

Salon Privé London
Red-coated medal-brandishing Chelsea Pensioners, some of whom fought on D-Day, vied for attention with million-pound cars at the inaugural Salon Privé London. It was held during four days of glorious sunshine on the lawn of SW3’s Royal Hospital, acting as an amuse-bouche for Salon Privé’s main Blenheim Palace bunfight later in the year, on 31st […]
Watches & Wonders, the reunion
Watches and Wonders has been the first major Swiss watch fair in over two years and, whilst it felt great to be back in a familiar environment, it felt simultaneously strange. The lack of both Asian and Russian attendees meant that the show seemed less busy than expected, but on the whole, it was as […]
It’s getting pretty complicated
Slowly but steadily watch brands have realised that women care about their wristwear. Gone are the days when you could just make a smaller version of your best-selling men’s watch, stick a few diamonds on it and sell it to the ladies. As women become increasingly independent and wealthy, take more space in boardrooms, on […]
Talulah Riley
Talulah Riley jumped to fame after playing Mary Bennet in the 2005 version of Pride & Prejudice, opposite Judi Dench, Donald Sutherland, Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen. In 2010 she married Elon Musk and moved to the USA. Now divorced and back in the UK, she speaks about her latest TV show, Pistol, where she […]
Black Magic
An exceptionally skilled break-dancer and a gifted showman, Magical Bones is considered one of the most exciting talents to emerge from the Magic scene in recent years. Born Richard Essien, he was nicknamed “Magical Bones” for his hard-hitting dance style. Despite having a successful career as a dancer, Essien’s heart was in magic and as […]
