A gentleman’s pen
Here’s another Montblanc pen to add to your collection of desirable everyday objects. The Meisterstück Calligraphy Solitaire Celadon Dégradé Fountain Pen, pays tribute to the timeless Chinese craft of bamboo weaving and celadon porcelain, brightening your stationery with all its glory. Cloaked in celadon-coloured gradient lacquer, the pen comes complete with a signature gold-coated clip and a hand-crafted Au750/18K solid gold curved nib, which allows for a variety of writing styles and line widths.
Tiffany & Co. locks in the luck
Red, a colour most symbolic of good luck, is featured on the new Tiffany Lock Ruby Pendant, a piece that will send plenty of good fortune, success and happiness your way… or so we hope. As part of the Tiffany Lock collection, which symbolises love’s enduring protection, the pendant combines elegance with handset rubies, resembling an auspicious red lock of fortune for the Lunar New Year. Pair it with a rose gold bracelet and ring from Tiffany & Co.’s Elsa Peretti Snake collection, two diamond-studded pieces that will be perfect for the upcoming Year of the Snake.

Boucheron makes a movie appearance
Grand Maison Paris, a new sequel to Grand Maison Tokyo (2019), follows a team’s ambitious quest to become the first Asians to earn three Michelin stars in France, with Kei Kobayashi (the first Asian chef in France to receive three stars) supervising all culinary aspects. Premiering this 8 January 2025, the Ayuko Tsukahara-directed film will feature the likes of Takuya Kimura, Ok Taec-yeon and Boucheron’s iconic 26 Place Vendôme store. Viewers will recognise the two-storey boutique and some 60 pieces of high jewellery creations, making appearance throughout the show.
Dusit Thani Bangkok opens a rooftop bar
Dusit Thani Bangkok has done good work redefining the rooftop bar experience, blending urban allure with verdant tranquility with the new Spire Rooftop Bar. An elevated retreat from Bangkok’s bustling streets, the bar aims to be a destination for great views, playful-yet-refined cocktails, and nightly DJ performances. Guests can also look forward to a quality food menu featuring freshly shucked oysters, wagyu kofta kebabs and Thai-inspired tacos.
Burberry rings in the new year
Cloaked in red, a symbol of luck and prosperity for the Chinese, Burberry’s new capsule collection can’t be more apt for the upcoming Lunar New Year. Made in collaboration with Chinese bamboo-weaving artist Qian Lihuai, the collection features a wide selection of wardrobe items, available with a seasonal iteration of the signature Burberry Check and a B snake motif to honour the new year.
