True ocean living
If you can’t contain the sea, you become part of it. At least on the Seadeck 9, Azimut‘s latest and most open vessel. Designed in the style of a Mediterranean villa, the 26-metre yacht brings indoor-outdoor living to greater heights. Expect floor-to-ceiling windows, a completely disappearing glass door that extends that sense of outdoor freedom, and a cascade of tiered terraces, fitted with a plunge pool, swim platform and amphitheatre-shaped lounge.
The Gaya Wellness and Wonder Journey
Tucked inside the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park, the Gaya Island Resort is launching an annual wellness event, happening from 17 to 19 September 2026. Curated by director of conservation Justin Juhun and the team at Spa Village Gaya Island, this will be a transformative weekend getaway for those who love nature, conservation and the healing magic of a spa.

H. Moser & Cie.’s latest endeavour
With openworked bridges and uninterrupted views of a skeletonised hand-wound movement, the Endeavour Minute Repeater Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton Cosmic Rain sets the stage for impeccable acoustic quality and sweet views of the mechanism. It’s like having your very own orchestra on the wrist, complete with a miniature aventurine dial, delicate mother-of-pearl inlays and the fact that you’re one of 20 owners of the watch.
Fairmont Niseko, coming your way this 2028
Slated to open in early 2028, the 165-key Fairmont property will break ground within nine acres of lush forest land between Mount Yotei and Mount Annupuri. Designed by Daiken Sekkei, Inc and Steve Leung Design Group Limited, the resort will offer unparalleled access to world-class skiing, golf, Niseko Village and Hirafu.
The 35th Monaco Yacht Show
The first official list of superyachts has been confirmed for the upcoming Monaco Yacht Show. Happening from 23 to 26 September 2026 in Port Hercule, the 120-strong fleet will include a heavy representation from Italian shipyards like Benetti and Riva, and new deliveries like Damen Yachting’s 80-metre Pangea.
Gentle Monster designs with intelligence
Following the revelation of Gentle Monster’s first intelligent eyewear, a new optical frame has been introduced. Defined by a retrained, square silhouette, its looks and smarts are an understatement, offering a whole range of helpful features (built-in speakers, camera, microphones, hands-free interaction with Google Gemini, etc) while keeping you present in the moment.
