As a fervent supporter of cinema of all forms, the Maison has held the exclusive honour of crafting every official trophy, including the Trophée Chopard, a prestigious award that honours emerging talent like this year’s recipients Marie Colomb and Finn Bennett. It also proudly returns as the presenting sponsor of the amFAR Gala Cannes at Hôtel du Cap – Eden-Roc, where countless celebrities will be donned in Chopard jewellery.
Glenn Marten’s debut collection for Maison Margiela

Aman announces a new island sanctuary
Aman is bringing its revered DNA of unparalleled service, luxury and privacy to Exuma, The Bahamas, one of the world’s most exclusive destinations in the Caribbean. Designed in partnership with Swiss investor and philanthropist Dona Bertarelli, Amancaya will be set across two of the Excumas’ most secluded private cays, and will comprise a 36-pavilion hotel, limited collection of Aman Residences and a host of resort amenities.
Hublot reinvents perfection
Unlike traditional horologists, who enjoy refining centuries-old complications, brands like Hublot prefer pushing the envelope with futuristic designs and features. The MP-10 Tourbillon Weight Energy System, which took three years to construct its first 50 pieces, represents one of the watch world’s most radical departures from convention; without a dial, hands or oscillating weight, it boasts a roller display, circular power reserve and regulation via a tourbillon inclined at 35°. First unveiled in titanium last year, it is now available in either black ceramic or sapphire, two materials that are deeply etched in Hublot’s DNA. The black version, limited to 50 pieces, comes as a nod to the All-Black series that Hublot pioneered, and the sapphire version, limited to jut 30 pieces, takes transparency to a whole new level. The MP-10 Tourbillon Weight Energy System is “flooded with light”, revealing its extraordinary movement and all of its 592 components.

Burberry just launched its fourth capsule in partnership with Highgrove, the foundation dedicated to funding Highgrove Gardens, the gardens that surround the family residence of King Charles III and Queen Camilla. Full of British charm, the 28-piece Highgrove x Burberry collection celebrates the vibrant designs of British artist Helen Bullock and honours Burberry’s deep-rooted relationship with the outdoors through materials like certified wool, organic cotton and organic silk.
