Journey across Italy with Aman
Following the opening of Aman Rosa Alpina, Aman has introduced Journey Across Italy, a five-night escape to both the Dolomite retreat and Aman Venice. Available seasonally from August to 12 October 2025 and 4 December 2025 to 5 April 2026, the passengers may begin at either destination, and enjoy a complimentary upgrade to the next room category upon arrival (subject to availability, of course). There will also be a host of curated experiences, such as winter snow sports in the mountains and a guided historical tour of the 16th-century Palazzo Papadopoli.
The Ryder Cup
Dating back to 1927, The Ryder Cup has been a biennial contest between Europe and the USA, with a relationship with Rolex rooted in shared values of integrity and respect. This year, it will be held at the revered Bethpage Black Golf Course in New York from 26 to 28 September 2025, with 12-player teams competing for the coveted Samuel Ryder Trophy. Rolex Testimonee Luke Donald will once again serve as captain of Team Europe, while Rolex Testimonee Keegan Bradley, who made his first two appearances as a player in 2012, will captain Team USA.
Benetti to hold world premiere of the new Class 44M
Benetti will be taking part in the Cannes Yachting Festival (9 to 14 September 2025) style. As the opening event, it will have its entire fibreglass series on display—the Oasis 34M, Oasis 40M, Motopanfilo 37M and the M/Y Juno’s 7, the first unit of the new Class 44M family. Designed by Cassetta Yacht Designers in collaboration with the shipyard’s architectural team, the new 44-metre yacht ushers a new era, a lifestyle on the water defined by customisable, elegant and sustainable luxury.
Rolls-Royce Spectre Inspired by Primavera
Named after the Italian word for ‘spring’, Spectre Inspired by Primavera is a poetic exploration of the season, expressed through a series of highly bespoke cars. The series features three distinct expressions—Evanescent, Reverie and Blossom—each offering a different interpretation of spring, available for orders until the beginning of 2026. With floral elements individually sketched by hand, each car features springtime’s changing constellations, Starlight Doors with 4,796 hand-placed illuminations and one of three unique colourways.
Chopard’s new boutique concept
Unveiled recently at Ion Orchard, Singapore, Chopard’s new space reflects the brand’s flagship boutiques of Paris and New York, reimagining its warm, contemporary aesthetic for the discerning clientele. From custom Italian furniture to the responsibly sourced wood flooring, every inch highlights Chopard’s commitment to artisanal excellence and dedication to sustainability. The custom-cut carpet, woven in shades of violet, also pays tribute to Caroline Scheufele, the co-president and artistic director whose favourite gemstone is the amethyst.
Vacheron Constantin Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin
Vacheron Constantin ventured into uncharted territory in August, dropping two new interpretations of the Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin. Originally introduced in 2016, this sporty model has already been released in a handful of different configurations, but VC decided there was room to expand. Both newcomers are presented in 41.5 mm cases: one is pink gold with a matching pink-gold dial, the other is white gold with a burgundy lacquer dial. The two references come with 18-karat gold bracelets and two additional rubber straps in different colours. Yours for €137,000.
