Odin Hills in Niseko unveils two new designs
Nestled amidst the views of Mount Yotei and serene Hokkaido landscape, Odin Hills has been a private residential village designed for a discerning mountain community. Adding to its growing residential collection are two new villa designs—the five-bedroom J-Series and four-bedroom K-Series—built upon the Odin Hills ethos of timeless, alpine sophistication. Available as all-inclusive land and house packages, both homes will provide all the comfort, privacy and coveted lifestyle features anyone will need in one of Japan’s most popular alpine retreats.
Rolls-Royce’s new scent
People are all about that new car smell, but the newly launched Rolls-Royce Scent takes the cake. Crafted by an expert in-house perfumer of the marque’s Bespoke Collective, the patented scent diffuser—currently available on the Phantom—has been designed to complement the natural aromas of the car interior, releasing delicate doses of amyris, cedarwood, rosewood and iris in good fashion. Thus, ensuring a long-lasting and sophisticated sensory experience.
Piaget’s Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase
A true icon of the watchmaking world since its launch in 1979, the Piaget Polo embraced the ‘sport chic’ trend in its own unique way by unveiling a bracelet watch carved from pure gold. Today, it is venturing even further. Having proudly displayed the colours of a masterful skeleton movement since 2021, elevated by an ultra-thin perpetual calendar in 2023, the Piaget Polo watch is yet again taking up position on the complications podium in 2025 by combining a flying tourbillon with an astronomical moonphase display.
After its majestic reign on the Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon watch, the flying tourbillon will now exhibit its beating heart on another of Piaget’s star watch cases, following on from this exploit of ultra-thin elegance. To celebrate the debut of a complication as poetic as it is emblematic, the Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase is stepping into the spotlight wearing Piaget’s most iconic colour: blue, the Maison’s long-standing visual signature.
Awakened Hands, Awakened Minds II
In the second chapter of this high jewellery collection, Louis Vuitton resumes the journey with seven themes and 50 extraordinary pieces that are inspired by 19th-century France’s visionary breakthroughs. Drawing on the advent of mobility and the era’s industriousness and craft, the collection pulses with creativity. This is reflected in a men’s capsule comprising compass, pocket watch and broaches, and women’s accessories that include an LV Star cut Elegance Diamond Headband and Victoire, a showstopping high-collared necklace.
A legendary hotel gets fashionable
Celebrating 55 years of timeless elegance and hospitality, legendary hotel Il San Pietro di Positano will reopen this 1st April 2025 with the Il San Pietro Boutique, an extension of the hotel’s architectural charm. Located by the bar and main terrace, the boutique will feature an exclusive line of clothing and accessories, designed by local artisans to mirror Italian heritage and offer guests a chance to carry a piece of the Amalfi Coast home. Available on-site and online, the debut line will also feature a capsule collection to honour the hotel’s iconic tennis court, a one-of-a-kind facility that offers panoramic views of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
