Boat life: Itama 45RS
Mediterranean style, ample liveability and direct contact with the water are the defining features of Itama’s new 45RS. With its sporty character and pared down lines, this 13-metre-plus yacht merges timeless appeal with innovative technology, with the ‘Made in Italy’ aesthetic and structural features that brought its predecessor, Itama 45S, to fame. It’s equipped with a pair of Cummins engines rated 550 mhp and has a top speed of 34 knots.
Face value: Ressence TYPE 1° Round Black
The latest iteration of Ressence’s relentless research into meaningful watch design is the new TYPE 1° in black, comprising 212 components, assembled by a dedicated team of master watchmakers. The simple and sensual shape of the TYPE 1° Round’s case creates an emotional relationship between owner and watch, featuring revolving discs that display time in a bi-dimensional format via the Ressence Orbital Convex System (ROCS), allowing hours, minutes, seconds and days to orbit each other.
Going green: LESTRANGE new immersive biophilic design store
In line with the brand’s commitment to reduced consumption, LESTRANGE co-founders Tom Horne and Will Green enlisted biophilic expert Oliver Heath to provide a reimagined, greener retail experience. Brought to life by British designer Fred Rigby, the new immersive, multi-sensory space at Coal Drops Yard incorporates a central dried meadow, repurposed materials (including felled London Planes wood) and soft, biomorphic shapes and silhouettes.
In full flight: Breguet Type XX
Whether worn by professional pilots or enthusiasts, Breguet’s Type XX collection draws on almost 70 years of aviation history. The new 42mm Type XX is available as either a military or civilian version, with the flyback chronograph in steel featuring a self-winding movement with date and subdial for the seconds, as well as 15-minute and 12-hour counters. It has a bidirectional graduated rotating bezel, luminescent hands and hour-markers, is water-resistant to 100m, and comes with two interchangeable straps – one in calfskin and another in NATO fabric.
