Description
Our cover star, Jaren Lewison (p. 90) is a bona-fide geek, having graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of California in three years. His shot at superstardom came age 19 while he was playing the namesake thespian in Shakespeare In Love at the International Thespian Festival. When he got cast as super-nerd Ben Gross in the Netflix hit series Never Have I Ever mid-festival and they say, the rest is history. Proof in point that geeks do inherit the world. Formula 1 racing is also an incredibly geeky sport as Rolex (p. 96) highlights the physics-defying nimbleness at the hands of the drivers and high-performance engines. Fashion too has become a high stakes race as our Fall Winter 2022 trend report (p. 104) will show and our “Metamorphosis” fashion spread (p. 122) will demonstrate. The future looks pretty bright in watchmaking as well as classic hits are updated for the modern era – a Heuer Monaco (p. 50) in an unexpected purple, a surprisingly colourful Hublot Ceramic (p. 52), a refreshing perspective for luxury sports watches from Parmigiani (p. 54) and finally, a Japanese tourbillon from Grand Seiko (p. 60).
