Bentley Continental GT V8 Convertible
Bentley created the modern luxury Grand Tourer segment in 2003. Now in its third generation, the Continental GT is the most agile ever. As a lover of cabriolets, I couldn’t resist to take their Convertible V8 for a spin. The Dragon Red II paintwork contrasts with the dark grey metallic hood complemented by 22” five […]
Carrera: Race timing thoroughbred
It all started with a road race. The “Carrera Panamericana” was inaugurated in 1950 by the Mexican government and was scheduled as a six-day border-to-border dash to celebrate the completion of Mexico’s portion of the Panamerican Highway. It was considered the most dangerous and exotic race in the world attracting the very best drivers and […]
More Than Skin Deep
You’re looking at the new era of the supercar. At first glance, the McLaren Artura doesn’t look all that different from the rest of the range. Its cab-forward, low-nose, mid-engine shape and dihedral doors are more science-fiction than most four-wheeled status symbols, but these are design tropes McLaren has gently evolved across ten models in […]
Zenith’s Star Shines Bright!
At first glance, the new Zenith Chronomaster might look like other watches in the market with the same complication, however, despite some aesthetic similarities, there are a number of notable differences that distinguish it as innovative and desirable in its own right. In terms of case and dial design, the new chronograph bares a strong […]

Hublot has a penchant for limited editions with collaborative artists, sport and media stars. The Hublot Classic Fushion Takashi Murakami is a masterstroke as the luxury watch market increasingly moves east. Watch sales across almost all brands have been steadily increasing in south-east Asian markets – most notably China – and now accounts for the […]
Fit For a President
Finally, the angry orange toddler is out of the White House and democracy has prevailed… by the skin of its teeth. Time is certainly of the essence and to prove it, just hours after being sworn in, President Biden reinstated the US to the Paris climate agreement, putting climate crisis top of the priority list, […]
Bentley R-Type Continental – JAS 949
I can easily imagine the faces of bystanders when the Bentley R-Type Continental flew by them back in the early ‘50s when this icon of automotive design was first seen on the road. At the time of its launch (1952), the R-Type Continental was the fastest and most expensive car money could buy. It cost […]
Speedmaster Moonwatch 2021
Mankind’s efforts to explore space started in 1957 when the Soviet Union launched the first artificial satellite, the Sputnik, which orbited Earth every 96 minutes. In 1961, it was again the Soviets who succeeded in being the first to put a man in space, astronaut Yuri Gagarin. During the ‘60s, and under President Kennedy’s leadership, […]
