Princess X95 Superfly
I’ve always been fond of being at sea. This year more than ever I have remembered with nostalgia long lunches on deck followed by lazy afternoons sunbathing on the bow while sipping ice-cold champagne and listening to the sound of the hull piercing through the waves. This summer, Princess Yachts launched its X95, a new […]

Founded in 1916 by British watchmaker Claude Lyons, Vertex watches were one of “the dirty dozen” commissioned by the Ministry of Defence for military use together with brands like Longines, Omega, Jaeger-LeCoultre and IWC.

It has to do with street-kudos and a little bit of “in-your-face boasting”. Well, that is exactly what you get when you drive the new Mercedes-AMG G63 Wagon, respect and a lot of disapproving […]

Omega sets sail!
A watch firm and an America’s Cup yachting team from the same country sound like quite a winning combination and that is exactly what happened to Ernesto Bertarelli’s Team Alinghi, sailing out of the Société Nautique de Genève back in 2003. Switzerland was the first land-locked nation to hold the Auld Mug (as the world’s […]
