Description
December is a time of thoughtfulness and reflection. Reconsidering long-held bias is the duty of all gentlemen; we should take stock of our intellectual positions on everything: Take Hublot for example; are serious they serious watchmakers and in researching our cover star (p. 62), we discovered that indeed they are. in we spoke to model/singer Iman Fandi (p. 56) to hear her perspectives on what is “proper” masculinity. Even Dior has been getting in the swing of redefining couture for our time, blending Californian skate culture with fashion (p. 16). Prada and Loewe have been hard at work at redefining what we consider luxury as well (p. 54). As we close, we should also count our blessings for the men and women, the Italian commandos I trained with during the Panerai Experience (p. 40) who stand at the fore keeping geopolitical barbarians at bay as members of NATO. CEO Jeremy Lim also spoke to us on the sacrifices of the generation before (p. 68) that made 50 years of Cortina possible. And what good is all that history, if we don’t honour it correctly? TAG Heuer Heritage Director Nicholas Biebuyck (p. 72) tells us. All this and our Christmas “Awesome” wish list (p. 90) to ease you into 2023.
