Desk Art

Clocks were once exclusively affixed to walls or pressed up against them, as in your grandfather’s old cuckoo clock. As time passed (pun intended, or course), they ended up in digital form on a nightstand near you and have more recently been replaced by cell phones and watches. The Medusa Clock takes the concept of time into the future — and beyond.

Innovative Canvas

Think Wynwood, but under your feet, and with a few power serves mixed in. That’s the ingenious idea behind the tennis “Art Courts” popping up in underserved communities across the country, starting with Miami.

Ultimate Amenities

Anything’s Pawsable

Robot Bartender

Lazy drinkers rejoice. The Barsys is an ergonomically designed automated cocktail maker that can deliver perfect cocktails and mocktails in a jiffy. Zero-gravity buzz not included.

Pro Toss

Tennis training tools don’t get any more perfect than with your very own portable tennis ball machine to spit balls out at random directions with speeds that will make you feel like you’re playing in a real match against a pro.

Spring Bliss

As I prepare for my annual spring cleaning routine — organizing the house, storage, desktop, backup files, clearing out useless apps, etc.

Nostalgic Shores

While water is essential to sustaining life, it’s also vital to enjoying it. Florida has over 650 miles of beaches and every day they “wave” to us inviting us in to play. And that’s precisely what many of us were born to do.

Welcome Aboard

Two mega-boat shows in town. Perfect weather. It’s time to take the family and friends out for a dinner cruise. Pay close attention to these yacht chef secrets to make things a little smoother out on the high seas.

Yachthing World

The smell of generously applied sunblock on determined shoppers in boat shoes is in the air as the Miami International Boat Show and the Miami Yacht Show join forces to create the world’s largest display of boats for sale.

Wild Times

The term “art on your wrist” is quite apt in the case of this collection of unique timepieces. If you are a wildlife enthusiast who values arriving on time wearing a breathtaking watch, this is the timepiece for you.

Exciting Move

Regarded as one of the most extravagant displays of luxury to come ashore in The Magic City, the 2019 Miami Yacht Show will debut at a world-class new venue — the iconic One Herald Plaza.

Ahoy Matey!

Ships models have long captured the imaginations of people young and old, and there’s no better way to add a bit of nautical art to your home or office than a hand-crafted representation of your own boat.

Splash In

In this issue, the Miami International Boat Show once again takes center stage.

Tennis Triumph

Keeping the Miami Open presented by Itaú in Miami was top priority. The move to Hard Rock Stadium not only keeps this world-class event in the “Magic City,” but it also sets the stage for a best-in-class experience during the two-week international sports spectacular.
