Bugatti reveals its 1,578 HP tribute to the Veyron
To pay tribute to this contemporary Bugatti cornerstone, as well as to the father of its seminal power plant, the Molsheim-based team has debuted the one-off Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage, or at least a representation of it. Created specifically for a highly valued client, the unique hypercar would be the second example, following last year’s Brouillard, built as part of Bugatti’s return to the advancement of coachbuilding through its Programme Solitaire.
With direct underpinnings that are a Chiron Super Sport, the F.K.P. Hommage carries a 1,578 hp W16 engine—compared to the original Veyron’s 1,001 hp predecessor—though performance specs have not been announced. But it’s the bodywork that’s the real story, as it honours that of the stylistically pioneering Veyron.
Swiss is introducing A350 and Swiss Senses to Korea
As of 29 March 2026, the airline will deploy its latest Airbus A350 on the Zurich-Seoul route, marking the debut of both the aircraft and the Swiss Senses concept in Korea. The concept emphasises comfort, well-being and contemporary Swiss design, elevating the experience on the first Swiss aircraft ever to feature a fully redesigned cabin.
H. Moser & Cie introduces the Endeavour in new form
Complications and tourbillon regulators aren’t new to the Endeavour. But what’s new to the brand’s classic watch, is the introduction of an openworked flying tourbillon movement, which isn’t shy to show itself through the dial and caseback. The Endeavour Tourbillon Skeleton draws on the age-old art of skeletonisation, with all non-load-bearing components of the movement are removed to showcase its elegance and complexity. The underlying manufacture calibre HMC 814 presents itself with the highest standards—the intricate tourbillon bridge is carefully chamfered by hand—and features a double hairspring developed and produced by sister company Precision Engineering AG.
Dior’s flawless-skin routine
Those in need of a new skin ritual, look no further than the new Dior Prestige Les Nectars d’Exception set. Enriched with Rosapeptide™, a patented ingredient that enhances skin density and smooths wrinkles, the set of four—an essence, oil-in-water, serum and emulsion—works together to reveal a firmer-looking, more resilient skin.
Leica’s first Noctilux M-Lens with a 35mm focal length
Since its introduction in 1966, the name ‘Noctilux’ has been synonymous with the pinnacle of optical craftsmanship at Leica. Built with a maximum aperture of up to f/0.95, Noctilux lenses deliver images with an unrivalled visual aesthetic, especially in low light. The newest member of the family is the new compact Noctilux-M 35 f/1.2 ASPH, built with exceptional lens speed and the versatility of a 35mm focal length, so its user enjoys a shallow depth of field and close proximity of just 50 centimetres. Yours for S$13,700 at all Leica stores and authorised dealers.
The Belle Dior
This year, artistic director Victoire de Castellane brings you Belle Dior, a new high jewellery collection celebrating femininity, garden beauty and the magic of couture. Comprising 57 gorgeous pieces, the collection turns jewellery into a veritable art form, paying homage to Christian Dior’s fascination with the divinatory arts and evoking fantastical landscapes imbued with poetry. Highlights include a yellow diamond bib necklace made of sparkling stars and moons carved from black opal, and a beautiful ring set with a 6.5-carat pink spinel solitaire, shaped like a cushion meta-morphing into a flower.
