Description
Psychologically speaking, humans absolutely need to be occupied with something deep, profound and difficult for lives to have meaning. Life is both gift and terrible burden; it means taking it upon your shoulders to transform the chaos of potential into the reality of positive and productive outcomes for you and your fellowmen. So, my recommendation is to get a solid pair of Onitsuka boots for those unavoidable storms (p. 24 or p. 40 — whichever colour floats your boat).
A solid timepiece is also worth its weight in gold. The Santos de Cartier has been an icon since 1904 and for 120 years been taking evolutive steps as a dressy yet versatile all-occasion companion (p. 42). Speaking of dressy, you need to pay more attention to Rolex’s serious aesthetic chops because collectively, we failed to notice that the Geneva Manufacture is more than just sports watches (p. 48). When dressing up, consider that couturier extraordinaire Dior has released a capsule collection so undeniably iconic yet so irrefutably quiet (p. 16).
Louis Vuitton, too, joins them in a Spring/Summer collection (p. 32) now heading to boutiques that speak with the elegance of Pharrell Williams’ trendsetting taste while still acknowledging the civil discourse of “stealth wealth”. This issue, we are also launching our inaugural feature: The Starter Kit — which looks at essential tools and services for you to start the year well equipped, well rested and looking your best.
