The New Vintage of Luxury Timepieces

No Comments

Luxury watch brands are riding a vintage-inspired trend at the moment and have started introducing watches inspired by vintage designs from their history. We investigate the latest designs by some of the most luxurious brands in the world: The TAG Heuer Monaco 1969 Launched simultaneously in Geneva and New York on 3rd March 1969, the Heuer Monaco was the first square, water-resistant automatic chronograph watch in the history of Swiss watchmaking. Named by Jack Heuer following the Monaco Grand Prix, the watch represented a complete break from the aesthetic codes of traditional watchmaking, with its large square case, metallic blue dial, bright red minute hand, dome plastic crystal and, most notably, its crown positioned on the left which, at the time, meant the watch did not need winding. With its track debut in 1970, on the wrist of the Swiss driver Jo Siffert, the following year it shared the cinematic…

No Comments

The most anticipated car of 2018 and, quite possibly, the most anticipated Rolls-Royce of all time has just landed in SA. Named after the largest diamond ever discovered which now resides in the British Crown jewels, the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan is an all-terrain high-bodied car that makes the idea of authentic, luxury off-road travel a reality for the first time. “The launch of a new Rolls-Royce model is always a seminal moment in the luxury industry. Today we are setting a new standard by creating a new class of motoring and motor car for customers who are well-connected, highly mobile and have a global perspective,” says Peter Schwarzenbauer, Chairman of Rolls-Royce, adding, “They want a new type of motor car that gives them unbounded access in ultimate luxury.

What better way to experience great wine than with ‘The Mentors’

No Comments

We love good wine, and sharing good wine with friends and family, but an experience with the aptly named KWV collection titled ‘The Mentors’ is one that you will certainly not forget. Studying anything from a Mentor is always a great idea, and when it comes to wine drinking, we support this theory 100%! The winemaking team at KWV, under the guidance of wine maker Izele van Blerk realised that the boundary-breaking approach in The Mentors cellar was leading to remarkable terroir-driven wines that deserved their own spot light from the other KWV offerings. The first wines were bottled in 2006, but it was in 2009 that The Mentors range prepared it’s wings for flight. Although they now produce a staple portfolio of eight wines, the winemaking team have the enviable freedom of pursuing innovative new varietals and blends from every harvest – taking their cue from the vineyards.

Sandton Magazine How To Care For Your Skin During The Holidays

The holiday season can take a toll on your skin. From the tanning and swimming, to the non-stop eating and late-night partying, our skins can do a little freaking out! And since we’ve all spent time and money getting our skin summer ready, we think it’s just as important to care for your skin during the holiday period too. Hayley Kirton, Senior Skincare Therapist from Lightsculpt Clinic in Rosebank lists some tips on how to keep your skin looking it’s best during the holiday season: Keep your skin clean and moisturised: Never use soap on your face. Invest in a gentle pH balanced cleanser. Before going to bed, always cleanse your skin and remove all traces of make up, oil and sun block. During the hot summer months make sure to use a very hydrating, oil free moisturiser. For convenience you can use a moisturiser with an SPF during the…

QMS Medicosmetics Revamps New Generation Collagen Cream

No Comments

QMS Medicosmetics has revamped their soluble collagen creams that will leave the skin feeling softer and looking younger. Their soluble collagen cream is completely pure and natural, obtained by a very advanced technical procedure that guarantees it retains its inherent properties. The difference between this collagen and that of other brands is that QMS’s collagen can stay active and effective up to 37’C, while others have a short-term hydrating period. So despite environmental factors, QMS’s collagen retains moisture, protecting and nourishing the skin. The QMS Medicosmetics Day Collagen and Night Collagen contain a synergetic complex of native soluble collagen and hyaluronic acid with very high molecular weights. This compound has a high water-binding capacity, meaning it penetrates quickly, significantly smoothing the skin and improving elasticity. The depth effect achieved by the QMS Medicosmetics skincare system regulates and gradually reduces the moisture loss in the skin. This process allows the skin’s…
