Luxury

Going Once, Twice…Sold

We’ve all seen rare and exotic cars on the road and thought, “Too bad I wasn’t there when that went up for sale.” Luckily for you, we are about to tell you exactly where you need to be.

Time Capsule

When traveling, it’s nice to be able to chose the right watch for the occasion — just as you wear boots at one event and boat shoes at another. But how to safely transport a small fortune in timepieces?

Updated Classics

WatchBasel 2015 was notable for a pair of new additions to the Rolex line that are sure to either make time stand still or make it fly, no matter where your adventures take you this season and beyond.

Bespoke Brilliance

Lincoln’s Black Label program goes far beyond being an innovative way to create the ultimate in luxury sedans and SUVs — it also opens the door to a sumptuous lifestyle.

Tech Trips

The new Lincoln MKX introduces drivers to features that fuse form and function while using new technologies to elevate the driving experience, whether across town or cross-country.

Dripping In Luxe

When it comes to purchasing diamonds, the round cut is often the most popular. It captures more brilliance than any other shape, yet all of the other shapes have their own unique look to them.

1,001-HP Winder

Fine cars and great watches demand constant maintenance, which translates to continual winding in the case of many timepieces. The Big Block Winder is the ultimate way to keep your watches ticking.

Polished Apple

The designers at Hermès have built an enviably reputation for their ability to transform practical items into luxury accessories. They have now turned their attention to the Apple Watch, reinventing it with understated elegance.

Right Speed

Forget everything you’ve ever thought about radar detectors. Rather than encouraging speeding, these units are the best defense against accidentally exceeding the posted limit or blasting through a School Zone.

Precise Elegance

For more than 100 years, Audemars Piguet has been creating elegant works of art. From incredibly complex horological wonders to classically elegant wristwatches, this firm has something for everyone.

Best-Kept Secret

The VW Touareg, named for a band of fierce desert warriors, is arguably the best VW since the Phaeton and the best-mid-sized SUV on the road today.

Designer Heaven

New York, London, Paris…the Miami Design District. The past year saw Minotti Miami, Lladro, Fendi, Versace, Burberry, Ermenegildo Zegna, Valentino, Max Mara, Givenchy, Loewe, Miu Miu, Lanvin and Tom Ford join the existing luxe retailers and it’s just going to get better.

Automotive Artistry

Once every year, the grounds of Boca Raton Resort & Club showcase an unrivaled collection of the world’s rarest, finest and most exotic cars. This year’s event, hosted by Jay Leno, is a must-attend for car and motorcycle aficionados.

Sophisticated Inspiration

Fueled by the passion of Fine Art Photographer Laurie Lynn Stark and her daughter, Jesse Jo, Chrome Hearts’ Design District location is home to both emerging and established artists and designers handpicked to create pieces exclusively for the space.

Outstanding Selection

Watches reveal our personality, but you need more than one. For example, the Rolex President worn in the office doesn’t represent your weekend persona. Yachtsmen might choose a Rolex Submariner while sportscar types strap on a Rolex Daytona.

All Hands On Deck

Boat lovers and yacht aficionados listen up: the highly anticipated River Yacht Club is just on the horizon with more surprises in store than the high seas — and that’s a promise.

Open Seas

The Open layout is a favorite of yachtsmen everywhere due to its functionality. This selection, which is coming to Miami this February during the Miami International Boat Show, has something for everyone.

Swanky Wristwear

“The Miami Design District is renowned internationally as a go-to destination for luxury shopping and creativity,” says Ulysse Nardin CEO Patrik Hoffman.

King Kong

The words “Bentley” and “SUV” have never been used concurrently, but suddenly it seems as natural as King Kong, which is what this new beast most resembles, if Mr. Kong was wearing a bespoke suit.

Smooth Boating

The Advantaged Yacht is not your typical yacht brokerage. They don’t stop once the yacht is purchased. In fact, the buying of a yacht is just the first step in their extensive fleet of services.

In Plain Sight

A watch not worn is still a thing of beauty, but only if you can see it. For those who enjoy viewing their timepieces as much as wearing them, the Treasury Safe by Buben-Zorweg is a must.

Boxster Reborn

It’s been almost 20 years since Porsche revolutionized the mid-engine sportscar. They’ve done it again to such an extent it was issued a new model number: 718.

The Watchmaster

Marty Pomphrey once said there’s something uniquely appealing about the combination of design, craftsmanship, precision and nostalgia that you find in watches. It’s a venerable industry that’s never boring. And he couldn’t be more right.

Electronic Wingman

Driving while daydreaming might earn you an expensive ticket if you blow through a speed trap. It’s also a safety issue, which is why you need a wingman telling you when to slow it down.

Dream Flight

Most people who experience the rush of flying in a jetfighter at 500 mph in tight formation pay for it with several years of active military service. The more practical ones just buy a Breitling Edition Bentley.

3rd Time’s A Charm

Tesla rocked the automotive world with an incredible high-performance, luxury, high-end electric car with a somewhat limited range. So for the Model 3 they created something for the real world.

Splendid Collaboration

From furniture to sculptural pieces and architectural commissions, Mark Newson has done it all. The latest endeavor from his creative brain is the Rolling Luggage by Louis Vuitton and Mark Newson.

It’s In The Bag

This winter, it’s not about the dress, it’s not about the jewelry — it’s all about the bag. Bring in all of your wow factor with a purse that lets them know: I’ve got it in the bag!

Cure For Boring

The term “4-door sedan” rarely conjures images of smoking tires, redlined tachometers and flashing blue lights in the rearview mirror, unless you’re discussing the Dodge Charger.

Clearly Classic

Ralph Lauren is well-known in the classic car world for his exquisite taste in cars. His 1938 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic Coupe (well worth Googling to see) inspired the 45mm Steel masterpiece, part of his legendary Automotive Collection.

Creative Sparkle

With offerings ranging from intricate filigree necklaces to Disney-themed charm bracelets, the new Pandora at Brickell City Centre is a must-stop for jewelry and gifts. Celebrate the official grand opening this month with a series of events from Nov. 3-6.

Jag’s Back

Jaguar is best known for its iconic E-Type, a car that introduced the world to British Racing Green and performance that would rip your face off. Happily, after a decade of frumpy sedans, “Jag is back” in the form of the F-Type.

Glittering Gifts

We know the terror of ever-procrastinated holiday shopping. The palpitations. The shopper’s shoulder-slouch. The thousand-eye stares. Luckily, there’s a select shop newly opened in Miami Design District to set your anxieties at ease.

Boating Basics

We all know Moses is responsible for the 10 Commandments, but if he was a boater, he would have had to make one more trip up the mountain for the following words of wisdom.

YACHT SPECTACULAR: Navigating the new & improved Miami International Boat Show

Miami retains its title as is the winter destination for all things boating and yachting with over $4 billion in new and brokerage vessels, marine accessories, glamorous clothing, art, food and music coming to town Feb 16-20. For its second year, over at the Miami Marine Stadium is the world-famous Miami International Boat Show (MIBS) with its Strictly Sail component at Downtown’s Miamarina at Bayfront Park. Collins Avenue is home to Yachts Miami Beach, a completely separate show; and Watson Island hosts the invitation-only Superyacht Miami.

Yacht Flips

Coffeetable books are more than just books. The best ones are considered art, décor, and collectible. Check out a few bringing the glamour of yachting into your home, office or, better yet, your yacht salon.

Global Time

For 60+ years, The Admiral’s Cup was the ultimate challenge for the world’s best ocean racing teams, each entering 3 yachts. More than simply a sponsor, in 1991, Corum’s yachts, Saphir, Rubis and Diamant won the event.

Love Me Tender

Every vessel in this collection would make an excellent choice as a tender to a superyacht, providing transportation to and from shore, taking guests fishing, diving or on cruises to explore local waters where the main yacht can't go. Each would also be a great choice as a primary boat. Text by Bill Lindsey

Star Time

It’s easy to describe a timepiece as “breathtaking” — but in the case of the stunningly unique Midnight Planétarium by Van Cleef & Arpels, it’s actually an understatement.

The New Super Car

In addition to redefining the term “sleek,” Acura’s original NSX was something the world had never seen before: a reliable supercar. But then, in 2005, it suddenly went away.
